Slap slap slap. I'm wondering why we don't see many slaps in anime these days, i'm fascinated by them.

I like Kai and it's weird seeing Char handle Haro LOL.

I loved it when Mr. Wong kick Kamille's butt. It's about time someone did it and told him to grow up. I really hope Mr. Wong stays alive, he's awesome.

With the added slaps, I loved this episode. :D

I wasn't expecting Kai, getting older has only made the poor guy uglier. And what journalist wears a suit to a jungle? I suspect he's a spy himself now.

Wearing a suit in the middle of the jungle: how cool have you become Kai. Still not reached Char's level yet, though : dat golden MS is legit!

Kamille got bitchslapped exactly three times, two of which were from Emma : she's really trying to traumatize the poor lad, haha. Oh and I laughed my ass off when Kamille just basically called himself a neurotic kid and threw that random "violence is no answer" when all he's ever done so far is wrecking shit : what a hypocrite lol.

Amazing episode!!

Glad to see Reccoa being safe!

Kai is back!!! Looking stylish as ever!!

Poor Bright getting the short end of the stick after "The One Year" war XD

Harmburger seems to be the common food in the series!

Damn Kamille got slap soo many times so early in the series!! He's definitely acting like Amuro and being cocky and all.

Though never seen Amuro being beaten like that, i guess Kamille had it worse.

So the Haro was reprogrammed and no longer for Amuro!?!

Char rocking with that Gold new suit!! Char acting like a mentor to Kamille ^^

Seems Rick Diaz is being used by Emma!! She really reminds me of Sayla, especially how she pilots it.

Good thing Kamille made it on time!! Don't want to see Emma dying so early!!

Looks like Kai and Reccoa wants to regroup with Argama.

Good stuff!! More cameos from the old White Base crew please!!

This.

@Sakarii I actually disagree, I think Kai looks better with age. It's made him look less creepy and nasty. One thing's for sure, he sure was looking hurt in '79. I remember thinking "Did they intentionally make him this ugly?"

Kai still has a thing for spies I see. I like how he's able to wear a white suit in the jungle without getting it dirty.

Wait, so that Haro was the Haro? What a surprise. I wonder what White Base info Kamille expects to find on it.

Although it was really hypocritical of Kamille to claim "violence is not the answer", the investor's actions were completely uncalled for. In real life that would have been way more likely to drive someone even further from accepting what you say.

Char's new golden mobile suit looks great.

Yep. One of AEUG's main investors (Mr. Wong) was visiting, and Kamille was late due to tinkering with Haro. When Wong found out, he proceeded to beat the daylights out of him.

So much to talk about in this episodes. To start off with: I literally choked when Kai showed up. He has grown so much, I can barely recognize him. It is so amazing > u <

The dialogues in this episode were particularly awkward. I haven't really enjoyed the writing of Zeta much, but the scene in which Kamille was being beaten up and the scene where Kamille tries to explain why he came to rescue Emma are clear examples of cringeworthy dialogue. "Violence is bad" should get an Oscar or something.

That being said, I think the general story and cinematography of this episode was great. I really enjoyed where the story was going in this one and the motives of most of the characters worked exceptionally well.

A minor issue that bothers me is how Kamille sensed that the base was in trouble, but Char didn't. I could understand that Kamille has a better connection with Emma's situation, but how in the world did the more experienced Char not sense that people were dying? Oh well.

I am happy to see that the show is trying to catch up with the slapping ^_^

The moment where the two guards complained about chicken burgers in between plot exposition is the moment where I truly felt Gundam was back.

Speaking of being back, helll yeah Kai! Indian Jones ain't got nothing on this guy!

Funny thing is, is the first episode where people really call Kamille on his shit is the episode where he was the last obnoxious.

Kai *_* So, he choosed to become a journalist for real ^^ Looked very cool in white tuxedo, but he could better choose his outfit and colour to randomly walk in the middle of the Amazon forest. By the way, what was he even investigating there?

When Camille is a bad boy: physical punishment.
Once he tends to get better: " "
Talk about sending misleading signals... They will make him become worse than what he was.
(really don't like the Lee guy, his ways would make anyone refuse even more, he even made me have some compassion for Kamille)

But again, the way he denies his place in a military organization after he choosed himself everything who leaded him there is annoying.

His new friend was all "Amuro, Amuro". (poor boy, even a toy won't fail to bring Amuro in his face). I thought it was one of those mass-produced pet robots but why would it have its brand creator name in memory? Because of that, I came to think it was the prototype, but right after Quattro says it is indeed a mass-produced toy. What does it mean? @_@

There were several memorable quotes in this episode but the award goes without a doubt to "Violence is not a solution." It felt very out-of-place in this anime after seeing 9episodes, especially coming from the angry teenager who threw his punches on anyone without a thought. (or maybe was it to underline his change of mind, after all he did reject the blond Titan attacks previously)

A golden MS? What a great idea... very ugly.

4/5

I don't think the experience has anything to do with his Newtype ESPs. He is already clearly above Amuro in terms of psychic powers (maybe under Lalah?) but far under him in the war department. Char himself had very little supernatural abilities back then, despite him being a Newtype. Same with his sister.

Best male 0079 character Kai returns, looking sexy as fuck even in the middle of the Jaburo rainforest with that . YOU GO, BOIIIII~

Also, Kamille gets the slap-up fest he's been needing for a few episodes now to get him into gear. Still, on one hand we have the sobfest Amuro while on the other hand we have an always-whining Kamille. I really hope there's more level-headed Gundam pilots out there besides Unicorn's Bannagher...

Elsewhere, Char(coughBAJEENAcough) pilots a new badass golden suit, looks to be the original of the Mega-Shiki from Build Fighters Try. Unfortunately there's no fights with it this episode, instead Char's busy taking over a neutral spaceport and making it an A.E.U.G. compound.

Then Kamille gets NEWTYPE~!senses from the orange-haired girl back at the main ship, so Quattro gives him the go-ahead to return to base. There, Kamille shows off more of his absurd piloting skills, alongside the Haro (love that thing, btw, so cute and squishy and eeeeyyaaaaaaahhh~). Pretty sure he's a bonafide Newtype, even if he doesn't wanna admit it.

Next episode looks to be a dozen-on-one scenario with Kamille's loss; if only this was YGO so he could pull overpowered cards out of his ass XD

Really good episode, when viewed, but also the rest of the narrative has reserved some good surprises, although I found a bit exaggerated the first part, maybe because I'm a quiet person. Drawings and animations, good. Really eye-catching that MS piloted by Char.

I really liked Kai in the first series, but he was nowhere close to being that awesome. That time skip was pretty good for him.

I'm still not a fan of Kamille, but getting hit at every infraction isn't a conducive method to making him grow. This is also the second time were a person just gets beat up, because Bright was beaten up earlier. I was impressed with Kamille's fighting ability in this episode, though he is still lackluster in strategy. I'll give him capturing that Hizack as a kill.

I had to double check to make sure it wasn't just a made up line I had seen on 4chan, but Kamille literally does say he's autistic. His words are "Jiheisho no kodomo nan da;" he's asserting that he's nothing more than a child (kodomo) of autism (jiheisho).

Wow, I still hate Wong just as much as the first time I watched this, but I guess we're supposed to hate him just as much as Kamille does. I'm so stoked to see those Marasais in action though xD For this being the debut of the Hyaku Shiki they sure didn't put much focus on it though. Anyhow, I'm glad the MS game is stepping up so rapidly.

I like Kamille but he deserved that ass beating. Wong Lee is putting it all in the line by helping AEUG. Not surprised that he is so mad to see one of the members act so bratty and entitled. This is not a game. These men and women are putting their lives on the line to change things.

Pleased to see Kai back. That Wong Lee guy really pissed me off though, he'd better get what he deserves (like any abuser does). Kamille literally arrived at the same time as Char and Wong Lee yet still got scolded and beaten up for being "lazy and late".

I like how Jerrid got mentioned several times yet still failed to appear on screen. The geography of the moon bases is really confusing though, I have a hard time imagining what's where and so on. Is there a small A.E.U.G. base near Granada or something? Is Granada supporting A.E.U.G. on the government level? Where did the other 2 Titan ships go? What about their red mobile suits?

P.S. It's notable that the Feds are even using Zeon warplanes now.

This show is comedy gold. It has lots of "Speed Racer is a sociopath" energy.

Kamille the self proclaimed autistic kid (told you he is a gamer) who attacks MILITARY EXTREMIST OFFICERS and steals his own dads mobile suits for space terrorists he just met because someone said he has a girls name now says "violence is wrong" while getting beat up. Cant make this shit up.

"Why did you leave me alone while he was beating me up?"
*puts on sunglasses*
"thats how the military does things."
Based Char as always.

Oh damn, Kai has become really cool! Journalist Indiana Jones, holy shit. Still funny that he runs around in that outfit in the jungle. The whip seems fitting, but his clothes don't, lol.

Man, the amount of slaps in this episode was pretty high. Guess they had to catch up after not having them in the previous few episodes. Mr. Wong just keeps kicking a self-proclaimed autistic kid while he's down on the ground is both shocking and funny, lmao. But Kamille claiming that violence is wrong is also funny considering the way the series started by him randomly attacking people that pissed him off.

So it's actually THE Haro. What a weird coincidence that Kamille stumbles upon it, but it's probably just a newtype thing that made him feel connected to it.

Kamille sensing that Lila was in danger was also interesting. Wish the show would make it clearer what powers a newtype has exactly, because it seems a bit arbitrary sometimes.

I was just thinking before starting the episode that I'm now enjoying the series more, and this one didn't disappoint. Partly it's because I'm now used to the new characters, but the political situation has been more clearly established and it's easier to tell who's who and what they represent.

Here we had everything, Kai's return, some good action and char development (or Char development :b). Like others, I was baffled by Kamille being beaten up, but I guess it tells us something about the society they live in, the values they have, and perhaps the effects of war on what is deemed acceptable.

Oh goodie, its "Harboring-A-Spy"-Kai, my least favourite member of White Base. Nice to see him again. I wonder how the others are?

My only guess is Mirai, because, as terrible as her """romance""" with Sleggar was, the 79 show clearly and sadly characterized her as someone who is into terrible macho bros that put women in their place, so i can only assume she has found a dude (hopefully Bright, as im sure hed treat her well, unlike the type of people she seems most strongly attracted to), popped out a few kids, 2 at least as prk-gender-roles conservative types love big big families, and become a fully stay-at-home tradwife.

That Kamille beatdown was a bit excessive.
