Neither of those designs look bad at all. The top one looks like a total brute, the second one looks like a very typical Gundam.

I swear I must be the only one who dislikes these designs. Because I see people praising these designs, but never looking down on them.

Plus the GP02 is so bulky and armored because it's main weapon is a nuclear warhead missile it's shielding to keep it from blowing itself up with it's own weapon and to protect it's pilot from the harmful radiation.

Heh, that's pretty cool.

Honestly I like both those designs more than anything I've seen from IBO. At least they have personality.

You know what I don't understand? Why the Physalis has a nuclear weapon to begin with.

Even without the Anarctic treaty to keep nukes in check, I thought the whole point of Minosky particles was to make missiles useless anyways?

But... like half of the Gundams ever use missiles.

Well it did destroy 2/3rds of the Federation fleet with it...

More than likely the Feds intended to use it against militant Zeon fanatics or other terrorists.

I mean the more traditional long range nuclear missiles like what we have today. Not stuff like GN missles or something.

...Zakus use missiles,

How the hell did Carta escape Mika's literal death grip? Seriously, she was right under him, did Mika just forget to hold her down when he was looking at the mobile worker with biscuit in it and the two remaining guards got her?

This off-screen shenanigans is worse then in the second to last episode of 00 a gun from the prior episode swapped to the other person. Whatever.

McGillis didn't give us a ton of new stuff on the Calamity War his 4th monologue explaining it, but the development of Alya-Vijana by the predecessors of Gjallerhorn, the Gundams being a result of that creation, saving humanity from extinction, and the creation of Gjallerhorn were interesting. But for me, the biggest bombshell is that Gjallerhorn has still been developing Alya-Vijana until recently. So Ein could easily be roided out with like 11 whiskers way more advanced then what Mika and the others got. I want him to be the final boss, or even survive into the second season, but I know they're probably gonna have Mika outwit him easily and give his an okay fight.

Interesting how Kudelia knows her stuff, and how she got this whole route thing down to safer secure Tekkadan. And her asking for all those other people.

Another interesting thing is that one of the Turbines implies that the whole harem thing is just a ploy. But I wonder why Naze would lie to Tekkadan in the first place about it.
