Pretty good first episode for the season. I'm curious to see what part Kudelia will play this season. Maybe breaking Mars away from the space yakuza mafia and the rest of the Earth nations.

I'm glad to see Mika took his final upgrade of last season of learning how swords work and applied it to better swing around blunt objects.

Also if the final episode doesn't end with either Raise Your Flag or that orphans song playing, which one depends on the tone of the ending, this show will be a failure.

If the trend continues Mika is going to end up a blind quadriplegic who can only feel things when physically attached to a war machine.

Gaelio surviving would mean that Ein would be the only named character to die in the finale which would be pretty funny.

Everyone in the Earth branch feels like they are marked to get wiped out midseason for the dramatic turn.

In my heart of hearts that is a modern take on the Big Zam.

Chad was one of the slave soldiers so I thought maybe his crazy last name was him creating his own. That made it sort of endearing to me.

Teiwaz being the final boss is the most fitting thing becomes it fits the the Gundam tradition of everything from Jupiter being terrible.

I imagine if McGillis bites it at the end of the season Almiria will end up in a pretty good place as the most powerful remaining Seven Star and being raised on ideas of creating a society where people are free.

This is a really cool direction to take the show.

It is going to be real good when one of the Tekkadan kills the mobile armor and it becomes the Eight Stars.

I doubt the armor is a new invention. It was probably designed around the same time as the Calamity War to fight mobile armors. Also I like to imagine it would bring a tear to Dozle's eye to see mobile armors finally truly get their due.

I want the series to end with Mika piloting the Barbatos while it is dressed in overalls and wearing a giant straw hat.

I was hoping Hush and Mika would be in a Master Blaster situation.

Man Naze you are such a creep. "I don't think of them just as wives but as daughters too." Is not a line you ever need to say.

That was a good episode.

I can't wait to see how all the naive revolutionaries deal with their enemies not just giving up now that they have Bael. Also Iok is going to get away with everything he has done scot free.

I'm predicting a timeskip at the end with an older Kudelia and Gaelio's sister announcing major reformations with some sort of message about how change takes time and enacting it through violence doesn't solve anything.

IBO is probably gonna be a tough fit for SRW. It has a lot of the writing quirks that tend to be hard to work in well. Mika crippling himself to kill a mobile armor is the sort of plot beat that rarely works well in SRW unfortunately.

You beat the mobile armor, its HP refills, Mika kills it in a cutscene fight, and then you can't use him for two or three stages. That even fits the show since multiple people fight the mobile armor it is just Mika who finally takes it down.

The Barbatos was also just a barebones generic Gundam when the series started and I haven't seen anything showing it having some sort of gimmick during the Calamity War.

In some way, shape, or form I hope it was Iok who set it up.

So McGillis is going to come out ahead in the end right? He's been pretty chill about his life's ambition falling apart around him and the words the guy in charge of Mars had about you never know how things are going to end up seem like some heavy foreshadowing.

I'm really interested to see what this show ends on. I'm assuming we get an ending monologue from Atra or Kudelia but I have no idea what the final message will be at this point.

If we do have some out of nowhere season 3 I hope it stars Julieta coming to terms with the fact that her side sucks. If Mika survives this battle I imagine it will be her letting him leave because she sympathizes with him.

RIP Muscle Unit

Never in my life did I expect to see the penultimate scene of a Gundam show be a corporate fat cat being assassinated on a toilet.

I wonder if the remaining Seven Stars wished they had backed McGillis once Rustal started his reforms.
