revdrkevind posted:So uh... how is Julieta in a non-Zero-System MS going toe to toe with Mikazuki in the Legit A Mobile Armor Plus Zero System? One thing to keep in mind is that she isn't really going toe to toe with him. The conversation with Russel and her own dialogue in the battle makes it clear that she isn't trying to beat Mika, she is just keeping him busy. If Mika went whole hog like he did with the mobile armor, or if she was trying to bring him down he'd probably kill her, but that isn't the point. She fought defensively but otherwise her goal was just to be physically present enough to keep him from going to town on the regular pilots and disrupting the plan.

So the pics of the Kimaris Vidar look super... I dunno, CGI to me. They're shots of the actual model, though, right? The finish and background is just screwing with me?

It's the real model, but most early Bandai publicity pics are painted rather than out-of-the-box. That may be why it looks a little too perfect.

 Looks like the barbatos gets its arm banged up badly enough that they switch it out with an older model one. Also all the debree around him doesn't look good for whoever he was fighting

revdrkevind posted:So uh... how is Julieta in a non-Zero-System MS going toe to toe with Mikazuki in the Legit A Mobile Armor Plus Zero System? The really weird thing about the Reginlaze Julia is just how massive it is. It's ten metres taller than the regular model, and even accounting for the longer feet and the shoulderpad things that's a big gently caress-off monster for a 'normal' non-AV pilot. It's even bigger than the Graze Ein. And from the look of the preview for this week's episode, it gets completely busted up, so this is probably the point where Julieta asks if there's any spare bits of Ein's brain left for her when they rebuild her suit.

Luminaflare posted:Isn't the Julia literally a graze + exosuit type thing? Well, a Reginlaze plus exosuit. Next-gen Gjallarhorn frame. According to its manual, it was designed as an attempt to turn the generalist, easy-to-handle Reginlaze into a super-sensitive, ultra-high performance ace suit that would flat out murder anyone but their very best pilots - a Schawlbe Graze but on purpose this time, basically. It was also directly inspired by the Graze Ein - Gjallarhorn's engineers liked the idea of building bigger suits they could stick a ton of stuff on, and felt that the shape, with its disproportionately long limbs, was good for ace units (possibly because of how it affected its AMBAC balancing).

Looks like someone, somehow, got their hands on the PV for EP47, and apparently it really is called Sacrifice. McGillis is apparently the one doing it, asking Agnika how he was able to do it so easily.

If people was complaining about the lack of competent villains last season Rustal has managed to give Tekkadan the taste of bitter defeat this episode. With the death of Isurugi, Tekkadan and McGillis is forced back to Mars for their last stand against Rustal.

The one plot-hole I'm not liking in this series is: I don't get how McGillis can be so stupid. Like, we're looking at this guy's master plan here, and there's no real chance of it ever succeeding. Doesn't that kind of go against everything else we know about this guy, that's he's supposed to be a capable & intelligent person? Did he really think this was going to work?

He is very intelligent and a master schemer but his core desire isn't reform or power but becoming Agnika. He is running after a childish fantasy.

He knew he was hosed the moment he realized Gaelio was still alive. McG was going to take longer to execute his plan, slowly ostracizing Rustal while gaining clout within GH before he took over. But with Gaelio still being alive there was no way he could realistically achieve that, because the moment that would come out to light he'd lose any political strength he had within the rest of the faction. He says as much when he talks about it, something like "he has me by the throat, but he'll never crush my spirit" and when he talks to Almiria, saying that even though he might hate him, even if it'll take time, he will make her happy. Seems pretty suicidal looking back to it. The title for the next episode just seems mistranslated. Scapegoat brings an entirely different image than the word they are using but maybe they have some info from sunrise.

My knowledge of japanese is far from perfect, but I think "Sacrifice" wouldn't be quite right either. As far as I understand "ikenie" means something or someone who is sacrificed against their will, whereas "sacrifice" by itself as a title brings to my mind some kind of self-sacrifice.

So okay, you can say that his intent is childish, but surely part of his goal would be to 'not die'. All of his actions so far are just suicidal. I dunno, either we get some kind of Mobile Armor gambit, or I'll be disappointed. speculation: Agnika's book has been a pretty important 'device' when the series has examined McGillis's past. We also know that McGillis gave tekkadan an area on Mars where a mobile armor ended up being buried. What are the odds the book actually shows the burial locations of all the other mobile armors?

As far as I understand "ikenie" means something or someone who is sacrificed against their will, whereas "sacrifice" by itself as a title brings to my mind some kind of self-sacrifice. Ikenie has the same root meaning as sacrifice. Both involve religion/spirituality and giving offerings to gods/spirits. Yes, the problem is that they can be interpreted differently, but scapegoat has the same issue. Might as well translate it more literally, unless of course you have foreknowledge of something that will happen next. Like, I'd use ikenie for the sort of sacrifice Mika has been doing to get more out of Barbatos, if I wanted to be poetic. Even though his actions themselves could be seen as self sacrifice, the act of offering his limbs for that power would be ikenie.

Tekkadan were given the Half-Metal Mine by Teiwaz and just happened to unearth the wretched thing along with the Flauros Gundam. They asked McGillis what it was and his response was a very surprised "JESUS gently caress, DO NOTHING UNTIL I GET THERE TO UN-gently caress THIS DISASTER IN THE MAKING!"

The irony being that in a way he DID end up causing the disaster, given a certain idiot wouldn't have shown up if McGillis hadn't snuck off to see it. And at this point we can't even say that Gaelio was way off track in his reasoning as to why McGillis was going there, just that the thought hadn't yet occurred to him to kill it and be more like Agnika.

I think both Gaelio and McGilles are trapped in the realms of story. McGilles is obvious but Gaelio is so determined to see everything as black and white that he fails to understand why somebody who has nothing would want to break the status quo.
