Well the new system has Model Damage levels, which honestly could have been either Nils or Meijin's doing.

I'm glad that Nils realized he had to protect the Gun-Tang Secret once he learned it.

Also, while we are spitballing here: I dont think the Meijin really likes gunpla or battling. He just needs an excuse to wear those ridiculous glasses.

Like for example, who decided that people like Sekai. I seriously don't know if anyone even likes him, in the west or Japan.

I don't mind him at all; he doesn't get under my skin or make me go "UUUUGH MORE SEKAI????" like most people in this thread seem to react to him. Yuuma was a far more offensive fun black hole before Meijin saved the show.

You don't get that campy without loving the thing you're camping for. How else can you get to three six nine times the passion? His glasses are powerful, but not that powerful.

My question is how do Lady's pants give her any passion at all? They're like, half pants. Can you imagine going into a fight with half a Gundam? I can't.

Maybe she had so much passion she began to overheat and was forced to shed that pant leg layer by layer to cool off.

It isn't.

Short-pants spirit is basically "childhood spirit" since short-pants are those goofy little shorts that are commonly associated with little kids in Japan.

Yes, half as in "half-size." They are a thing associated with childhood, not literal half pants.

BF Had so many great one frame easter eggs. I remember there was a quick shot of Carlos Kaiser's profile where he quoted the "Legs aren't necessary for combat" and showed he'd been using mechs like the Zeong and the Neue Ziel in previous tournaments.

I've been extremely impressed at how well-written all the English text in the series has been, which makes it great hunting for those.

Which is why it was really jarring when the rejection letter that the lead triplet got from Gunpla Academy was in untranslated Japanese. I mean, it makes sense, since he's Japanese and the school is Japan, but I was so used to seeing English on all the monitors whenever someone was reading something that it really threw me off.

So King J-Der did a brief cameo to get chumped by Gaogaigar. Fumina is effectively using her suit in unique ways against people smart enough to know the limitations of it, Yuuma had a pretty cool poo poo eating grin when he thought about sacking the full vernian backpack to get the kill on his opponent and we saw what happens when someones machine can keep up with the burning while also having a more skillful pilot

Overall the episode did a good job demostrating how much Yuuma and Fumina have changed through the series in contrast to Sekai, that hasn't changed at all. They could go all "Its the heart that matters here see how I beat you despite your suit and obviously superior skills!" but I'm hoping that involves the other team members as well because it'll be incredibly dumb if it doesnt.
