Personally I hope the mask guy isn't Gaelio. McGillis killing the one person he considered a true friend for the sake of his ambitions was a really good moment, and it would be lame if they backtracked on it.

Yeah, I liked how when his subordinate asked if the guy on Mars McGillis was talking about was an old friend, McGillis clenched his hands, then pointedly stated that he doesn't have any friends.

I'm entirely sure that if Gaelio did survive - and that remains a big if - it wasn't McGillis's intention. He probably just didn't angle his blade quite right and had to flee the scene before he could confirm the kill.

I'd only like if masked man was galio if absolutely no indication is given through the series only to have mika blurt it out in a fight with everyone present. Sure it would be bad writing, but drat if it wouldn't be funny.

The only reason why the mask is full covered is to have a voice filter so Mika doesn't instantly find out then Mika finds out anyway because he questions why anyone would need a voice filter in combat

New info - the pilot of the Hugo, that mystery antagonist machine with the twin shotels, is working for a faction called 'Hephaistos'. Some relation to Dawn Horizon? Yet another mercenary faction? Nobliss's personal pieces on the field?

Edit: Looks like Hephaistos is a valid alternate way of writing Hephaestus so yeah.

We already got the info that it's a pirate suit, though it's not clear whether the pilot himself is still a pirate. It's designed for close-ranged battle in debris fields like the Shoals, with a pair of grappling claws mounted on its hips and its legs reversed so they can serve as grippers.

Since we were chatting about the Vidar, more pictures of it have come out, and it looks like it might have a third Ahab reactor built into its rear thruster pack.  This thing is going to be ludicrously fast.

AradoBalanga posted:3 Ahab Reactors just seems unnecessarily pointless and a waste of resources. At that point, you might as well start fielding MS-sized Ahab Reactors as your front line forces. It's actually the other way around. One of Gjallarhorn's biggest advantages is that it's the only faction in the solar system with a glut of Ahab reactors and suits to put them in. However, the technology to fit multiple reactors on a single suit remains lost, which is why Gundams are so special. If the Vidar is, indeed, McGillis's suit, then it makes perfect sense for him to be testing out a modern multireactor setup on his personal ride, given his interest in kicking Gjallarhorn out of its stagnation (technological and otherwise).

Compelling setting, plenty of focus on character interaction and drama, fight scenes are slightly thinner on the ground than the Gundam norm but exciting, horrifying, and superbly choreographed, mechanical designs own, soundtrack also owns.

I'm waiting on season 2 to finish before watching more and I feel like if you haven't seen anything Gundam in awhile your best bet would be to check out other things you missed (personally I say G-Reco, which I feel is a stronger show than IBO by every metric) while waiting to see if IBO season 2 screws the pooch or not.
