Relation & Curiosities
--------------------------------------------------------------

Gino and Kallen haven't a close relation during the series, but we can see their feeling in many moments. They're not just soldiers or schoolmates, but a real team, in the battlefield and in life (after the last episode, I hope) too. Gino falls in love with her since their first meeting, in a battle on the sky, Kallen didn't understand his feelings. Day by day...

TURN 6

First meeting for Gino and Kallen. In a battle on the sky, Gino observes the awesome Guren's pilot. He remains very impressed about her. Even if Anya realized that the Guren was a great Knightmare, Gino didn't observed it but the one who piloted the mecha. That time he didn't know that that person was just Kallen.

TURN 9

During the meeting between Zero and the Britannians, Gino finds out who is the Guren's pilot. It's Kallen, a beautiful and sexy girl, and at the first sight, he falls in love with her. Gino says to Anya about Kallen "She's definitely my type of woman", that could seem an affirmation of a playboy but it isn't. Gino's feelings are absolutely autentic!! In that situation, Nina becomes mad meeting Zero and tries to kill him with a knife. Kallen stopped her and in order to help her, Gino arrives and keeps the knife hand-by-hand with Kallen. It's their very first contact.

TURN 16

When Kallen was a Britannian's prisoner, Luciano, the Knight of Ten, menaces her to suck her blood but Gino takes part to the situation and saves her like a knight could make with her lover. This scene is very romantic because for the first time Gino fights against an ally in order to protect someone.

TURN 17

Gino and Kallen discuss about Suzaku's photo album. It contains many photos of him with his friends, and Gino had never seen him similing like that. Kallen looks at the photos too, with nostalgic eyes. But Gino's visit means another thing: he wants to ask her to choose Stadtfeld as surname and to join the team of the Knight of Rounds. Kallen doesn't give him an answer but she won't ever agree.

TURN 18 ( part I )

The lights go out and after becoming part of the battle, Gino goes to Kallen to ask her about her decision on the surname again. Obviously, Kallen doesn't agree and Gino smiles, saying that he won't allow Zero to save her.

TURN 18 ( part II )

Thanks to Sayoko, Kallen is free. She becomes part of the battle and when Gino sees her, he wants to make a battle. But Kallen's first enemy is Suzaku and Gino says him to not understimate her, and to Kallen to fight with all herself, amusing and without esitation. The girl is very impressed from him and his words.

TURN 23

Gino decides to fight together the Black Knights, and Kallen asks him if he's really sure about betraying his country. Gino smiles (like always ) and says her that now he can understand her feelings a bit. Kallen isn't sure about the meaning of theese words, but she's happy to have an ally as him. The sun leaves the place to the moon and they're togheter, when the night descends. So romantic!! )

TURN 24

Final battle. Gino fights against Suzaku, that destructs the Tristan, but Gino is happy because he did his job and opened a hole on the Damocles' defensive and unphatomable shield. Suzaku didn't know that it was the plan of Gino and Kallen. The girl enters in the hole and, thanking her partner, begins to attack Suzaku in order to destruct the Lancelot and kill him.

TURN 25

Kallen wins against Suzaku but he destructs the Guren, that falls from Damocles. Kallen could die but, even if the Tristan were damaged, Gino saves and takes care of her. "You did it, Kallen!" are his sweet and last words, now his beloved girl can find restore in his arms.

THE END

Last image of Gino and Kallen. It's a picture about Ohgi and Viletta's marriage. Gino and Kallen are happy together, he's abutting on Kallen's arm. We haven't more particulars but all leave us to think that now they're a couple!
