| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good episode, really liked this one. The ending with the bike going into heaven was a lil bit over the top >_> but okay, it was a pretty sad episode. |
 |
| When romance blossoms, someone (or both) will die~ It's a gundam tradicion... Indeed pretty sad episode~ |
 |
| Well Odelo gave his charm away to Elisha so death flag for him. I'm going to cry seriously plz. T_T Odelo pwnd the bridge that ending with the motorcycle was just plain weird, but it did make me feel sad well at least they will be together forever. 5/5 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| When I saw their romance at the beggining, I already knew they would die. And they died in vain, since they were going to retreat anyway. Damn you, Odelo! |
| it was fine until the last few minutes, that ending was so bad, thats indefinitely a failed attempt at making the viewers give a shit about extras |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Good ep. Lol that ending. Never really cared for those guys.... |

 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Death flags all over the place, Odelo will probably die later or something or his love interest. I admit i kinda liked the ending and I actually liked the biker dude. |

Well I couldn't recognize them at all, so they were just as good as extras for me. I found the bike scene mainly amusing. |

| LMAOOO a forced romance that was NEVER there throughout the show that immediately drew a red flag since you KNEW that meant they were gonna die... How could they possibly make it more worse than that? well... GHOST RIDER LOL HOLY SHIT this show when from a low 5/10 to a 3/10 in a heartbeat. And people actually liked Victory Gundam? |

| This episode is for Odelo, destroy a Battleship and win a kiss ٩(˘◡˘)۶ |
| The commandant sure forced his way in her subordinate's life. XD The "rough" pseudo-declaration of love reminds me of so many US movies. (it isn't "forced romance", it's just someone stating what he felt already before, in case he would die soon. Very common) Also: "My mother didn't want me to become a biker." Best reason to enter the army. XD At least, it explains why he so eagerly pushed his Motorad project. Anyway, thanks to him, I kept laughing even though I shouldn't have. Now that Shankti stopped her wanderings, it's up to Odelo's bad moves again to trigger skirmishes. Great... they really never intended to write a proper story for this show?! The final scene was almost nice, too bad they went for real Ghost Riders who can be heard. As a pure image, it would be quite good. 3/5 March 7, 2017 @Sapewloth I didn't mean cliché in a bad way. Here, it helps the audience to figure it given the short time reserved for it. Lack of "overarching plot"... Thank you! Now I know how to name my main problem with Victory. July 31, 2020 @St0rmblade Thanks for the recognition of Victory's battles. |

| A Gundam romance that doesn't feel completely forced for once? What on Earth is going on?! I jest, but I thought Renda and Iq's romantic development was handled pretty competently given how little screentime they got and their near total lack of relevance, at least for Gundam standards. Like you said @Rei366, it's still very cliché but at least it didn't make me want to bang my head against the wall. The Ghost Rider scene made me laugh hard though, I'm not going to lie. Tomino seems to have a thing for over-the-top imagery that I just can't get enough of. Odelo you stupid shit. You stupid, stupid shit. I'm willing to give it a pass because Odelo has been prone to impulsivity and lack of better judgement before, but it did feel like an excuse to have yet another random battle. If the writers would just sit down and think of an overarching plot this wouldn't have to happen. :/ |

| Did a 12 year old wrote this shit? Seriously just fuck this episode!!! |
| No Odelo what are you doing? Actually finishing a fight for once and not letting the enemy retreat when you could catch up with them with ease? Also the death flags were just beyond obvious. |

So for that, I'm thankful. I think only Brain Powerd, Hand Shakers, Samurai Flamenco and Big Order, in recent memory, had moments at this level of absurdity. This was some next level shit lol |

| BIKES .......... |
| Dammit Tomino. How can you basically introduce a romance within the episode and actually have me feeling something at the end? Phantom bikes, log cabins...All they wanted was to build a biker's paradise on Earth. |

| "I'll give you more charms when you come back" I wonder what famous Gainax robot show it reminds me of. There were some animation problems in this episode (plain gray/black backgrounds in cockpits for no reason). Also I never keep thinking about how easy it is to sink a battleship (just shoot at the bridge) yet almost nobody does it in Gundam. It really felt strange when Uso protected the enemy with his beam shield. The song at the end was good, but too much for minor villains. Also, what's the big idea of making Odelo and Elischa trapped in kerosine, seemingly unable to escape, only to safely get away later? Uso splitting water with his shield almost felt like a Biblical reference. Victory's battles are generally more interesting than in Zeta, but they're longer and sometimes take the entire episode, and there's still the problem with the story just going with the flow. Though I'd say that Victory has a higher rate of meaningful battles than Zeta. |

| Can we please notice what little effort it suddenly takes to stop a smaller battleship, a third rate MS piloted by Odelo did, what 1 V2, 4 Gundams and a few green MS couldn't do all the 20 episodes before !!! |
