English VA Char has never betrayed anyone and he'd never lie, right?

I don't even think "technically" works here. He deliberately lies to Garma about the White Base's position to put him in a terrible spot and then laughs at him over the communicator about it.

Unless you're going with the "Char was never on Garma's side anyway so it doesn't count as a betrayal", I guess, but I'd still say "faking being someone's best friend solely to opportunistically gently caress them over at an unspecified later date" counts.

From Char's point of view, you're wrong.

But that's the joke.

So, the Urdr Hunt game is moving on to reveal more about the ancient history of the PD setting. We just got names for three of the founders of the seven stars, and on top of that, there's the reveal that no-one knows why the Mobile Armors went rogue.

Seems things are getting set up for some major conspiracy reveals.

No, what happens next is a cutaway to a giant Sphinx themed Gundam rampaging for a whole chapter. It's really weird.

I mean, the whole manga is weird, but pacing-wise that bit is weirder than normal.

It makes sense, the lady in leather and the nun are two fated Gundam pilots and we just saw their meeting, the Egyptian girl is the third Gundam pilot. All the pieces are being laid out and coming together.

i assume based off only seeing those pages that the protagonist crushed the nun-ladies skull for being too sincere and not edgy enough

Except we haven't had anything about three fated Gundam pilots before, the nun and the protagonist were in the middle of a fight scene which was motivated by entirely different causes than being fated Gundam pilots, the chapter is set in a completely different area from the main action with a bunch of grunt suits after a series with almost no mecha action. (And we still haven't gotten followup on the Earth expedition team).

It's utterly bizarre pacing.

Holy poo poo that's real. I thought those were panels from some random edgy manga Gripweed posted as some weird inexplicable joke but nope, its all real. There's even a picture of the sphinx Gundam at the bottom of the page.

Why is there a Gundam in a Jesus pose hanging from chains above a vat of lava? Do I want to know?

Gundam is such a weird franchise sometimes, like you'll get long stretches where its fairly grounded and "normal", I guess, for lack of a better word. Then someone forgets to take their meds and we get some weird manic episode spin-off where everything just goes completely off the rails.

I mean, a proper object of religious veneration should have four V-fins.

(Then again, while shining is fine, something outright burning might be a bit unfortunate in this context.)

Look, it would be daft for a v-fin to be defined as only counting one half of a fin. It wouldn't even be a v!

So I was rewatching Turn A a bit back and a thought suddenly struck me: What was Dianna's plan wrt Will Game? Not the one in the series, but her lover/fiancee from a hundred years back. Why did she expect to meet him again? Are the some cryopods underneath the Game family home? And where did Will Game II and III come from? Are they her son and grandson, or did Will Game the 1st bone someone else once Dianna was out of the picture?

Did they even have a relationship or was it all in Dianna's head?

It just bugs me is all.

iirc after saying she'd see him again someone came up to her and said "unexpected news we're going back to the moon right away no queen you can't stop this" so she never got her last meeting with him

and yeah i guess he boned someone else
