It would be sort of cathartic that he screws up one last time and Rustal himself gives the go ahead to leave him because he's been that much of a liability.

Darth Walrus posted:Iok went onto a hostile planet with a small suit retinue and ended up trashing most of the enemy's best pilots, permanently crippling the most dangerous one of them, killing a whole bunch of their employees, and severely damaging two of their main income sources. I dont think anyone could try to spin Ioks action as ultimately favorable to Rustal but here we are. I mean, its not like the show itself is telling you that Rustal lost major face and got himself into a worse political position because of him to the point that he said any more of that poo poo and he'd cut Iok loose. You know the thing that is making Iok overcorrect by getting the mob directly involved into all of this.

I mean just thinking about the whole thing a little harder, even something like "Your actions crippled the enemy ace!" is Ioked up, because now youve given that enemy ace no reason to not be in the battlefield, because thats where he can feel the most alive.

Zebulon posted:The fact he's still alive at all seems to disprove the idea that he's been beaten enough. He's already on notice and he decided that what he really needs is to get the mob into it. The mob who he's been indirectly leading into a civil war. Naze went from a mid ranking member of the organization to potential underboss. He's inadvertently gunning for Michelobs position which is going to spook the poo poo out of him. A lot of the conflicts so far seem to be about people rising up in positions/rankings and those above them getting pissed off about it. Teiwaz is going through it and so is GH. Despite his machinations,McG is probably at the very bottom of the GH totem pole.

I mean one of the few conclusions you can make is that whoever made the mobile armors also made the gundams. Its not really far fetch given what we know, the economic powers probably hosed everything up by releasing a plague of autonomous wars and the only solution was to create the means to stop it themselves. It also makes sense that Agnika told everyone to go gently caress themselves after all they went through, because no way are they going to be in power after that so that it can happen all over again. It would be pretty funny if the real villain was some sort of Anaheim Electronics that was like the sole provider of military equipment for all the economic blocs and they flipped the switch on the MAs systems to go into genocide knowing that the economic blocs would have to pay for new equipment to get rid of them.

Someone pointed out that after each remodel the Barbatos red chin part of the face armor keeps getting bigger. Like if it had a beard that kept getting bigger as time went on. Fitting for a suit named Barbatos. Someone posted a synopsis of the live event and I dont know why anyone would produce something that makes it so loving obvious that people are going to start dying soon. Like in two episodes soon.

If anything happens to the turbines you can bet your rear end that McGillis is going to say "You know who caused this, yep that idiot Iok" and next thing we are going to see is Barbatos intimately introducing a blunt object into Iok's cockpit over and over again.

If something happens with the command of Turbine and theres still a few survivors from them then I can see them joining up with Tekkadan and them taking on the protection part of the shipping company.

ImpAtom posted:I think one of those numbers isn't right! (I assume you meant 42?) I brain farted  I mean we know enough about EP 41 to know that EP 40 wont be the one where the poo poo hits the fan. The second half of EP41 is where apparently the deaths start. e- Or maybe the poo poo already happened in EP40 and the characters in EP41 aren't aware of it yet. And then even more poo poo happens later. What we know is that Lafter, Akihiro, Shino and Mika are in the Saisei and that by then Barbatos is fixed and probably upgraded. Maybe the hammerhead isn't just doing a straight up man fight but rather are doing hit and runs or just being evasive. Maybe they somehow escaped the dragnet? Maybe the Hammerhead already got hosed up by then? What we know is that after that things got worse. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Although they could go the way of "Oh no look at how horrible it is when your organization literally falls apart because all the weight is on one person" they can also go "drat this is what happens when people are segmented in tribal groups and dont help each other unless its convenient for them" I'm fully expecting that if any portion of the Turbine's political infrastructure falls apart that Tekkadan will take over it. It will be a massive gently caress you to Jasley and having Orga, which is far less tactful when dealing with political things such as this will be super satisfying. Cant wait to see Orga carrying mika like a sack of potatoes and mika shooting at Jasley from that position.

I think whats really deflating is that we've seen Mika at full throttle and theres really no one that can match him other than maybe mecha galio (Which is a huge wildcard because he hasn't done poo poo yet). Even if McG gets Bael, how is he going to outperform him? Also there is another Gundam in the OP as well as Julietas rEINginlaze

Phobophilia posted:Only when Iok loses the favor of Rustal. I doubt rustal will be happy with what the Iok faction of his Arianrhod fleet is up to, throwing around proscribed weapons like that. Even then Julietta wasn't really mad at Iok to cause her to stab him. She's mad that she still so weak despite being on a kick rear end mecha. She looks at herself and Mika and finds out that she's still miles away and its only getting worse now that she's realized that she genuinely fears death.

Darth Walrus posted:One interesting thing, though, is that Amida's 'live for yourself' message seems to have struck home a little. As soon as she stops thinking in terms of what's useful for Rustal, I suspect that Iok's days wil be severely numbered. It's also going to be interesting to see how her relationship with Gaelio is affected by this - this was basically her Dort moment, with a somewhat different outcome, and it's pretty much guaranteed he'll spot the parallels if she tells him about it. I don't think it did at all. Its not going to be Amida's words that will affect her, if anything its up to mecha gali to try and unfuck her before she ends with whiskers. And right now, with the current characterization, there is a greater chance that she disregards him than actually take any advice from him. e-Also about Iok. The chat on the previous episode about Iok being brutally honest is very very pertinent right now. Iok is that corruption inside GH but without any tact and completely unmasked.

Darth Walrus posted:Rustal didn't even do Dort. The Arianrhod Fleet had a different commander at the time, who looks, sounds, and behaves very differently to him. The implication is that he got the job after Kudelia blew the union massacres open and the other guy resigned in disgrace. He plays a little dirty, but I think the only time he's specifically gone after civilians was that bomb that injured Makanai. He's also fascinating because while he's a stern meritocrat, he also genuinely cares for his troops regardless of talent, and is actually kind of alarmed by the suicidal lengths they go to for him - see when he tried to talk down Julietta, and tried to get Gaelio to replace Iok before the kid could self-destruct even further. I don't think he even has any particular interest in maintaining Gjallarhorn's tyranny - he's just scared shitless of McGillis. A few episodes ago people were thinking that Iok wasn't really that bad and there had to be some good to him given that his troops clearly respected him etc etc. Rustal's reaction in the coming episode will determine how much of a shitbag he is. It'll be incredibly easy to write him as a huge fucktard thats irredeemable, just like Iok in less than 3 episodes.

Jasley seemed to be in a space suit in the preview so I'm guessing he's going to be piloting a frame and is going to end in a fine paste inside the cockpit. Really a lot of people now have it for him so the question is who's going to have the honors. Whoever doesn't deal with him gets Iok.

They mentioned that the voice actors are all doing the previews ad-lib since like two episodes ago and so far every single person that done the previews has started dying. So if the pattern continues then Jasley is next.

They've already started production or preproduction for the next gundam and I doubt its going to be another IBO. Bandai would probably have a reason to keep using IBOs inner frames for the models but a third season would be pushing it.
