Whenever Chuchu’s not on screen, the people should be asking “where’s Chuchu?”

So outside of the extant gundam pilots and a handful of others, nobody really knows why Gundams kill their pilots, yes? When we see cockpit views we know what is going on with the datastorms but that isn't common knowledge. It makes me wonder what will happen when someone hops into the Schwarzette, be they Lauda, Guel or Suletta, and they follow whatever instruction manual Prospera shared with Vim that says "to turn on suit, activate Permet Score by voice command." and then poo poo gets out of control.

It's literally the data storms and is/was common knowledge. The whole reason we see like El4n, and Sophia push themselves past breaking point, and El5n determined not to do so, comes with an undertone of "THIS IS WHAT ALL GUNDAMS DID", and why it makes them so galling at the tradeoff of their superior performance, because the inferred practice was "Use gundam till pilot is braindead/dead/crippled, replace pilot and continue".

Also the [b]massive/b] protests in the prologue from everyone knowing why Gundams were awful cursed things.

But how common knowledge is it for the current day? It seemed that a lot of the students knew the gist of Gundam=Bad but it seems consigned to rumors rather than explicit understanding. And the two publicly known Gundam Pilots Suletta and Elan both appear to be fine. Why would Nika act so surprised when El5n said that anyone who gets into a Gundam dies if it is so well known that they're pilot killers? Prospera says that the Benerit Group suppressed the Vanadis Incident but how much information was suppressed? The massacre only or as much information on Gundams as possible?

My point is this: will the next person to hop into a Gundam cockpit fully understand the risk that they're taking in doing so? Do they go in with the full knowledge that permet scores will fry your nervous system or will they go with the assumption that the suit is safe to operate because hey the Pharact and Aerial pilots seem to be okay.

I think Lauda is the dark horse in the death race. He's gonna try and prove he's as cool as Gool and get himself killed fighting in schwarzette against someone who really knows how to pilot a Gundam.

Then they'll scrape him out of the cockpit and Suletta will talk to the Jeturk AI and get a layer 31 callback and get her own blue glowy lines that will let her withstand the datastorms unleashed by Quiet Zero so she'll be the only one able to defeat Prospera while the rest of the world gets really bad heartburn.

I just don't see death flags on Lauda, especially when his whole thing seems to be NOT doing anything, hanging back and complaining that his brother isn't around, or snarking about Suletta. He doesn't DO anything and I haven't seen that change at all. I don't konw why anyone thinks he would climb in a gundam. he hasn't even used his own mobile suit, Guel stole it.

In a show that shows a lot of progressive character representation, it sticks out like a sore thumb that he only refers to Suletta as “Mercurian wench.” There’s also that bit from a couple episodes ago where he quietly seethes while listening to the girls talk about how Guel is sooooo cool. He’s gonna do something rash and get some form of comeuppance.

It wasn't girls, it was his own classmates talking about how Cool Guel should have been in charge from the start. Same episode where he poo poo on Suletta.

I misremembered who was talkin poo poo on Lauda. But yeah, even in the scene where he gives Chuchu props, he calls Suletta a wench. Not even to her face, but right before the Rumble Ring, he talks about destroying the Mercurian Wench as well. He just really has it out for Suletta for slapping Guel’s rear end (because Guel was terrorizing Miorine).

It would be funny if Lauda, despite all of his full-mast Garma-clone death flags, manages to survive the series.

Also he was totally projecting when talking to Suletta earlier. Would be nice if they manage to reach a mutual understanding (it's Gundam so they won't)

If his brain gets turned to soup and Suletta witnesses the data imprints or memories of the other pilots who got killed pushing their permet scores then she could have a newtype conversation with El4n Sophie and Lauda where they all kiss and make up before kicking Prospera's rear end
