Thanks a lot @Monad, because I wouldn't have gotten shit by myself and even then, I still think the episode presented everything in a very confusing and unclear manner. Plus it doesn't answer the question of why Cima would go as far as betraying Zeon and what she'd gain from this deal she struck with the Feddies aside from maybe money: a more in depth look into her motivations would've made the whole episode much better imo.

It's always depressing to see how someone's ideology is being exploited..
Even if Zeon's top brasses from One Year War and First Zeon War are not better than Titans, this series once again shows us that Zeon's ideology is a real thing to some peoples.. And to see how they are being exploited by opportunistic peoples like (newcoming)Titans is really depressing.. This also happen in real world ...

One user said in a previous thread how Cima always has to "antagonize everything". How fitting.

I like nitpicking this series as well, but I actually liked these new developments. And I really don't see how this doesn't make any sense. The apparent military incompetence was actually because of power struggles, in order to raise the status of the Titans among the Federation. Make the military look bad and then their faction come to save the day. And assuming we all watched Zeta prior to this, you can see how well the Titans succeded. As for Cima, it was already highlighted how she had no ideals, so it's not so absurd to think she would switch sides if the opposition made her a better offer.

I don't know about these extra informations ZakuHead mentioned, but to me it all makes sense to a reasonable level just with what this OVA provided so far.


Pretty much - it's one group of aspiring Space Nazis taking advantage of another group of actual space Nazis to help themselves claim power.

Thanks to people in this thread for confirming my thoughts on the plot, it pretty much makes sense, though I agree that more motivation for Cima might be fitting (maybe it'll be explained in the Mayfly of Space?).

Gato's and Kou's models were so far the most overpowered in the UC timeline I've ever seen, pretty ridiculous, and they aren't even that strong in Zeta.

I wish Gato just obliterated the entire ship at the end and not just throw this claw thing. Would've been a cooler outrage.
