Is Mio's wish to go to Earth known outside of her father/security detail/Suletta?

She's certainly told them enough. Even the randos in the first episode knew it.

incidentally i noticed a bit of discussion about miorines bit where shes all "you're just as bad as the spacians" to chuchu for being kind of a dick towards suletta; they'll probably develop that attitude (mio's out of touch, perhaps) as the show goes on but i thought that line was quite funny contrasted with the peaceful protest on earth getting literally stomped on by giant MSes and the discussion of the news all getting that sweet space cash :v:

Something I noted is I think there's something to being the Holder that's not been told yet. Jeturk's investors seem pissed about the duel outcome, and I wonder if there's a major prize for graduating as the Holder. CEO of your own company and startup funds or something, I dunno.

Operation complete.
Given how much company ownership gets passed down to children in real life, I assume they're pissed because it means they can't count on getting Delling's assets when he bites it now.

From the first episode, it sounded like the Holder was heir to the company, so if Delling had "fallen down some stairs" before the end of the first episode, then by having Mio's hand in marriage, Guel(or more precisely, his father) would also have control over the Bennerit Group.

The plan was to get rid of Delling, get the company, and have full power. Suletta threw everything off schedule, and by losing again, Guel can't get things back in order yet.

The Holder is Miorine's Fiancé, and by extension prospective heir to the entire Benerit group. Vim was probably making a bunch of arrangements with his investors on the grounds that he would basically be in charge at this point until things got derailed.

It's both, they mention the defeats don't look good, and the future plans don't look nearly as promising with no Guel as heir to the company.

I can relate to ChuChu "when in doubt, punch someone lights out", the school requesting to do diplomacy and staff your exam without even a bit of advisor supports seems a tad too arbitrary even for ultra libertarian future.

drat, there's getting rejected and there's the girl running to her mecha and blasting the gently caress off

It reminds me of the end of the Macross 7 movie where Basara has gotten to know this really cool Zentradi rock chick with a transforming gun/guitar (guntar) named Emilia who has an obvious crush on Basara, before they have to fight some giant monsters to save the planet he found her on; only for the rest of Fire Bomber to show up right at the end and Mylene to wander in going "Oh hey sis" to the Zentradi, with Basara going "...sister?" followed by a smash cut to him taking off at speed in his variable fighter. Mylene was already causing him enough headaches, so as soon as he realized the connection he loving ran.


I'm assuming that this interaction/dynamic will show up in a future SD: G Gen, Super Robot Wars or Dynasty Warrior's: Gundam game.

I think the smuggler lady who was offering to take Miorine to Earth in episode 2 will become the captain of some kind of battleship that Suletta and Miorine end up on for future cours, and it seems likely that the Earth House gang will be part of the crew as mechanics and bridge crew for it, since the 3 main programs at the school are basically training for a warship (piloting, mechanics and strategy; which might as well be running a ship by the sounds of it). Chuchu being one of the main pilots supporting Suletta and on the supporting cast would be fun.

I'm hoping she keeps the Demi-Trainer she and Nika built the whole way through honestly. Yeah, it's goofy as gently caress looking, but if she can carry that poo poo through to the finale by adding more and more customized parts and equipment she steals off enemies then it'll show just what a boss she is.

Yeah, I don't think he's some kind of long term antagonist or villain because he doesn't seem like he's good at long term planning or recovering from problems. I think he's going to die pretty early, and it's kind of an open question how Guel will respond to his death; especially if Suletta is involved on some level. There's the possibility that if she was that he'd show some loyalty to family, desire to inherit the business etc. and take up arms against Suletta despite continuing to like her, even if he papers over that attachment and tries to insist otherwise. I can see Lady Prospera killing off Vim as part of her plan, and that coming out once everything at the school goes to poo poo, with Guel holding it against Suletta because it comes out that she's Prospera's daughter, for instance.

Looking at the Demi Trainer expansion set, I really hope that circular saw and piston are things Chu-chu gets to use in a Duel or something. She'd probably give Mikazuki a run for his money in terms of raw Mobile Suit brutality.

I know it's just meant to be a funny visual gag but the pedant in me was wondering why a mobile suit would need to stumble around and hold its arms out to emphasize its cameras are blind. Wouldn't it have more cameras and ground sensors to help the suit maintain balance instead of the single primary visor cam?

The spare hands remind me of the way Domon used to position the God's fingers under the gauntlets when doing the Erupting God Finger.



Do I think it's likely Chuchu's Demi-Trainer has a God Finger? No, not really. Do I want it to, even as a gag for gunpla only? loving hell, yes I do.

The show has been quite deliberate with what it's doing, so I have some hope that Miorine's line isn't going to be forgotten and will get explored later on. She's an heiress who lived a life of privilege and sees going to Earth more as a symbol of rebellion against Delling and desire to feel closer to her mom. She may have seen news reports about Earthian suppression but it's not going to be real for her until she makes her way down there, is what I imagine.
