| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Jumping Gundam is both strangely retarded and cool at the same time. Matilda and 'her lingering fragrance' look interesting. :D But the highlight of the episode was this: "You hit me twice! Even my father didnt hit me!" "That's why you're soft! Growing up without getting hit will never make you a man!" |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Brighto punch is a force to be reckoned with. I watched the movie trilogy instead of the series and I still remember those lines clearly :P. |

I was also considering watching the movies but thanks to sixtydeuce's subbing efforts am able to enjoy the original series from the very beginning. Nice to know that punch remains in the movie trilogy, haha. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Haha yeah I loved that punch scene. Bright sure showed that boy how to be >:D And then Amuro kicked ass with even more new Gundam capabilities ^^ |

| hahah, I keep forgetting how old this series is. A couple of episodes ago it was, "I wish Bright-san would give orders. I'll never understand taking orders from a woman." And now it's, "Frau Bow, you'll never be able to pilot the Gundam." But I have to agree, the greatest line was - "Even my father didn't hit me!" |
| It's hilarious how sexist this show is. xD It's also amusing that, since the anime is so sold, Amuro didn't blush when speaking to that Matilda woman... it would be too much to bear. The narrator even went as far as saying it was the first time Amuro "noticed the scent of a woman". xD |
| That Matilda.... gets my approval. ;D |
 |
| Many good quotes in this episode, lol. It's interesting to see Amuro's combat abilities evolve so much every fight. Hope we see more of Matilda. |
 |
| You know I can see where Amuro is coming from, he is pretty much been fighting none stop. This Matilda person isn't going to help the situation any though. Poor Fraw Bow. |

| Woah... Did Char purposely do something to that plug? I wonder what he's playing at.. Char's awesomeness increases by 10% per episode =3 |
| Kai doing awesome. Bright Punch. Char seemingly wanting Garma dead. Flying Gundam. Amuro finally having stress catch up to him. Good solid episode. |
| Amuro's sexist attitude really grates on my nerves. |

| I'm a bit of a sexist myself, so I don't really mind his comments lol that slapping scene was awesome :D And I think I had a whiff of her fragrance too ;) |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |

 |
| Char somehow managed to insult and flatter that Garma dude. That's talent. I still can't guess what he's up to, though. And finally someone slapped Amuro! |
| glad to see people loving and enjoying original MSG - I remeber this bright slap like I only watched it yesterday :p - surely a good sign... I have to say I remember when watching this (it was one of my first anime to 'properly' watch) saying to myself 'God Amuro is such a whinger!', little did I know that relative to his descendents in later Gundam's he was a veritable laconic gruff Eastwood type character :D - especially when compared to whinge-master Kamille ^_^ |
| LOL @ the Brighto punch haha :D |
| Bright Punch! That was great, Amuro now is a man. Another great episode, Gundam started slowly but it improves every episode. |
 |
| Amuro's sexist comments still annoy me, but I can see where he is coming from. Though, refusing to fight in the middle of a deadly battle is, well, foolish. Am I the only one who thinks these so called "bright slaps" are kind of...counter intuitive? What if they only caused Amuro to further retreat into his shell? If he wasn't such a strong character, and believe me aside from some of his actions he is strong, these acts of psychical violence could do more harm than good. |

I'm assuming that Amuro will keep on spewing his sexism throughout the series. Sigh. |
| I wonder that they spoke like Gundam could only be piloted by Amuro. Since it has learning computer maybe it is now locked to Amuro and they do not know how to reset it? They should add autopilot to Gundam just like Nerv did in case of whiny pilots not wanting to do their job in middle of battle. |
| Amuro played The Shinji Pussy for a while but it got boring fast so he decided to go kill some more Zeon mobile suits. "I'm a MAN now!!!!!" That line cracked me up Amuro is such an annoying character I can't take him seriously and that kinda makes him cool. |

| So full of misplaced manliness and memorable quotes! Brighto slaps are kinda overrated, tho : it's not like Amuro got any better after being hit, lol. |

| The strategy Amuro came up with was kinda stupid but well. I guess things worked like that back in 1979. I also can't believe they've been flying on the same continent for like 5 episodes now (several days). A normal plane nowdays does the job in 10 hours tops. |
| Another awesome episode :) I'm surprise Amuro is sulking like this. I was thinking he would have gotten over this a few episodes ago, but it keeps coming back. It seems Char is the main drive for him to pilot the Gundam :) That bright slap and punch!!! Definitely the highlight of the show! I even lol'd when he said "not even my father hit so many times like this" He's definitely spoiled as hell as a child! I think people are taking things for granted on why the jumping Gundam is amazing at that time. Nowadays, Gundams can go on full boost and can attack the enemy in mere seconds. This maybe a little thing, but i really appreciate how back then a jumping Gundam is already badass as it is. Char probably either wanted Garma to be dead or wants Amuro by himself. Such a cunning strategist he is :P Matilda san!! She's such a beauty!! "her lingering fragrance" Lol 1970s is such an interesting time! Even Amuro is amaze by her "fragrance"!! Frau seems to be jealous :P I can't wait for the next episode!!! |
| Guys, you are overdoing things about the "sexist" comments. Amuro telling Frau Bow that she couldn't use the Gundam was not sexist, just reality. Amuro has been the one using it since the first episode, and I am not even sure Frau Bow knows anything about robotic and all. Even Bright said he could not do it. Also, for those who hate Amuro for his whiny personality, remember he is just a normal boy that have to fight and risk his life everyday, and that there is a lot of pressure on him. Char really wants to see Garma dead, eh ? |
 |
| Lol, Char misplaced those cables. Punch No1 - It hurts! Punch No2- Congrats, now you are a man ^_^ |
 |
| Bright punching Amuro, unlike his dad. Kai being cooler than normal. Hayato and Ryu doing stuff too. Fraw Bow being cool and slightly jelly. Also she will never be able to pilot the gundam (lol) Char being evil. Garma possibly going to die next episode? (not a spoiler since I have no clue whether he will or not. The episode preview just makes it seem foreboding. Plus it says "Char's true intentions, Garma's fate" So who knows. Garma is kinda cool so far though, it will suck if he's gone already. |

| "Fraw Bow, there's no way you can pilot the Gundam." I didn't like how overdone Bright's talk with Amuro was, what with the hitting, but after that I could only think, "Amuro, you're so full of crap." He has an inflated sense of self-worth; he's letting his position get to his ego, and the tantrums he's throwing are indeed very immature. But to follow that up with insisting that he's so special... ugh. It's really annoying. I do think Amuro needed a few more spankings growing up; punching, on the other hand, is too far. Char has progressed from being unhelpful to deliberately sabotaging operations. He put dirt on that connector, which is why Garma's transmissions didn't come through. Given that, at this point I think Garma's doomed to fail. |
| Cheeky fucker, Char. I was wondering what he was doing with the plug. Fraw Bow is one naggy bitch. |

| Wow! Amuro that comes out with some jokes effect, his good crescita.Bella battle, Char is to watch, his "underground war" for more involvement in the story, the girl red? Good episode! |
 |
| Ah finally, the famous BRIGHTSLAP!!!! And Char you dirty scoundrel, you're up to something. |
 |
| I just love these kind of "older" anime, they had so much more atmosphere compared to "newer" anime. That said this sure was a very awesome episode, let's find out what happens next! |
 |
| Garma was lucky in that battle. Amuro Ray Kill Count: 0 Mobile Suit kills this episode 14 kills total. |
| Very good episode again, and Yes, Amuro was annoying as hell but i could understand to an extent. |

I was thinking this as well, Some of his other comments i can see as being sexist but this one sounded to me like she was inexperienced and he was worried about her, and people please do remember that even though Amuro might be slightly sexist but that doesn't mean that the entire show is. |
| @SakurasouBusters Idem. If it was sexist, less female would have followed 0079. Strangely enough, I still can't figure exactly what Tomino wanted to express about women through the first Gundam and Zeta (there might be some elements in ZZ and the finale movie too). You get "War is the business of a man", "A woman's fate is to be used by men", etc, some female characters parked in a certain depiction of the women (Fraw Bow and her later variants) and the opposite with "Only a woman could..." (memory blank) or characters able to stand for themselves (Sayla, Kycilia Zabi, Emma...) |

| Char is almost carrying it too far regarding Garma..seems like next episode this is going to reach it's climax. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So, this is the episode where Bright smacks Amuro upside the head. It's no surprise either, as Amuro wasn't taking war seriously at that point. He seems to be back on the right track now though. Also, Matilda is certainly attractive, and Amuro definitely likes her. |
