A b o u t - What's a Fanlisting?
It's a list of people who like squeeing at a paticular thing or topic, could be also a character like in this case. The idea is that the bigger the list, the more loved that topic or subject is. Also it's good to meet people who like the same things you do.
E p i s o d e 23 - Sekai wo Tomete
This episode was very touching I must say. It doesn't matter how many times I watch it I end up crying.
I think episode 23 was very important because somehow gives a hidden message about what's going to happen, also because of it's tittle "The World has Stopped". It's like the World will beging to change, to take another path and it's destiny will be totally different from what Celestial Being wanted.
Original title: 世界を止めて
Romanji: Sekai wo Tomete
English translation: The World has Stopped (or also "The World stands Still)

Summary:
Nena Trinity mourns the death of her brothers. Alejandro Corner becomes agitated by Aeolia Schenberg's foresight to install the Trans-Am system. Ptolemaios' crew finish repairs to Dynames and pick up another GN Arms. The crew discuss the Trans-Am system, noting that the extreme boost in performance only lasts for a short time and drains GN particles at the process. While returning to Ptolemaios, Setsuna detects a UN assault force approaching the other Meisters. Allelujah and Tieria deploy in their Gundams and commence battle with the GN-X and Ali Al Sarches in Throne Zwei. The Gundams activated their Trans-Am systems and destroys several GN-X, but become overwhelmed when their systems power down. Dynames arrives with its GN Arms system and destroys more GN-X suits and two UN carrier ships, but Throne Zwei destroys the GN Arms. After a vicious battle, Dynames is severely crippled. Making Haro take Dynames back to the ship, Lockon abandons his suit to chase Ali, determined to avenge his family. Using an intact cannon from the GN Arms, Lockon destroys Throne Zwei but a shot from Zwei damaged the cannon. Floating in space, Lockon contemplates that he hates the current state of the world. Before Exia could reach him, the damaged cannon explodes, killing Lockon in the process. As the remains of Dynames approach Ptolemaios, with Haro repeatedly calling Lockon's name, the painful truth starts to dawn on the crew.
I must add than in this episode we get to know that Lockon had another relative that is, apparently, still alive. He whispers the name of "Lyle" his supossedly twin brother who appeared on episode 8.
According to some interviews, Lyle would be replacing his brother in season 2 so I'm looking foward to see it!
W h y "F a r e w e l l" ?
To be honest it was pretty hard to choose a title for this fanlisting. I thought of names like "Bitter Farewell" or "Sudden Good-bye", but I didn't like those. Even though I did choose the name "Farewell" because it wasn't that bitter. I know everyone cried but Lockon said "good-bye" with a smile on his face and still believing that Lyle could live in a World that Setsuna and the other Meisters would change.
Also I believe that Lockon's death was the most important fact in this episode and that's why I got focused on it for this fanlisting's title.
