I mean it could happen that Aerial goes berserk but theres plenty of other things that can happen. They are deploying with Cathedra, Shaddiq knows they are going to deploy there and will probably try to use his terrorist to do something. Prospera KNOWS Shaddiq is involved in all this and it wouldn't surprise me if the reason Shaddiq knows is because she went ahead and seeded the info, just to create a position to exploit against him. To me it doesnt make sense for the Aerial to go berserk because it puts Mio in an untenable position against Shaddiq, and the story is already setting up his fall in a way. Him already divesting the companies before he becomes president so theres potential conflict even if he loses, Peil still doing things behind the scene and Feng/The Spacian League looking into QZ.

Also it makes more sense that if you have a giant robot capable of controlling other giant robots that you may want to Puppet the other robots into doing a massacre so you can stop them

so... guess that's it, huh? just... don't say i didn't warn you.
Personally I think there is another perfectly valid target for getting hurt by Eri. Someone that killed her father. Part of me wonders if Prospera plans on letting Kenanji die while piloting Aerial to place the blame on him for any protestors on earth dying while letting Aerial do the heavy lifting and forcing his hand.

Regardless of pilot, I figure that a potential protest massacre will end up killing a cast member and a couple of them are flashing death flags or shortening their lifespans just by being in close proximity to Prospera.

That was my first thought at him suddenly joining the main cast: if Eri and Prospera remember and catch sight of him somehow there's almost no shot he gets out alive, right?

God, what if Suletta ends up fighting Aerial in another MS

If we accept the cut trailer footage she could well be fighting the Aerial Refit in the original Aerial now stripped of Eri. It seems, at this point if we then take the ending into account, that Suletta is going to fill that Eri shaped hole with herself, taking full control of her life.

Nah, that's my hope on what I want Suletta to do. It turns out Miorine is just a naive idiot who hurt the precious space tanuki on purpose because she's a loving idiot. Miorine doesn't deserve her.

so... guess that's it, huh? just... don't say i didn't warn you.
I have a feeling that El4n might still make a reappearance like Eri has. Still going off the preview, possibly after Suletta fights while experiencing permet pain he awakens from the old Aerial once she goes to a certain level… maybe this is what Miorine was investigating too, finding out the old Aerial still exists, capturing Bel and is going to have her give Suletta a chance to make her own decision on the matter of what’s important to her. I’d much prefer this to Suletta getting in the Schwarzette as that feels unlikely due to Miorine’s lack of knowledge about the suit and Suletta would have to steal it to make that happen. The question mostly is what is the condition for someone getting put into the robot as I don’t think El4n got the same white permet on death that Eri did. Could be someone else in Aerial, maybe the Llfrith AI will make a return more properly?

I figured that this outcome was being trumpeted from the rooftops by the reveal of the Schwarzette and the entire sequence of Aerial both emotionally and physically rejecting Suletta immediately before Prospera climbs into the cockpit and flies away.

I honestly wouldn't be terribly surprised if Quiet Zero Aerial was the final boss!


Yeah I got a sense that this episode was a potential heel-turn for Aerial from the Hero Gundam to the Villain Gundam.

Also, I cried this episode.

Something I think we're all missing here; This probably isn't gonna be conventional intervention, not even a Gundam 00-esque "EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING NOW!! :blastu:" one.

We're gonna see Prospera take Quiet Zero for a test-drive because what better demonstration than an isolated conflict everyone's got eyes on?

That little school scene at the top of the episode put the last piece in place for it by confirming literally everything has Permet in it. We are about to see things go horribly RIGHT, as Prospera shows off that Miorine (if not possibly try to present herself as a candidate) is in fact the best next President because look what they can do to just literally switch off, if not control, a conflict.

Also, they seem to have been emphasizing the thing about how Elan Prime needed the standins so he wouldn't get his permet hosed up the second he touched a Gundam lately, which completely suggests to me that Elan Prime is in fact going to get into a Gundam at some point and WILL get his permet hosed up which will allow El5n to run off and live as his own man

Want to know why Chuchu is the GOAT? She actually supported what Suletta wanted, rather than choosing for her. Sure she had to smack some sense into Suletta first but she still recognized Suletta was hurting and pointed her in the right direction to confront those feelings. As well as telling her to stop blaming herself.

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
kinda surprised that prospera really didn't have any further sinister plans for suletta and she's pretty much on the same page as both eri & miorine in cruelly abandoning her to keep her away from conflict for her own good, although she doesn't really care too much

miorine really does seem to be an idiot out of her depth, which is disappointing. what exactly is the point of abandoning suletta so cruelly if prospera & eri were just going to do that anyway with the exact same thinking. why not stand beside her instead and affirm that she has worth beyond just being a gundam pilot if she just wanted to keep her away from conflict for her own good. whatever plan she has seems to just be hoping that the space assembly league can dig up enough dirt on prospera's history to get some leverage out of?

It seems pretty obviously building to a big come to Jesus moment where Miorine realizes that she's basically been treating Suletta the same way her father did with the Holder duels and like "oh my god i'm my dad"

With the reveal that Peil chooses their leadership via an AI and the Daribalde still having its AI active last episode, I'm not ruling out a situation just yet where Suletta encounters Llfrith's AI system and shows thst her inner compassion also makes her a blue glowy worthy of piloting a Gundam. I don't think we're done with the artificial intelligence aspect just yet.
