Dang, Elan got destroyed in that duel. Then got emotionally destroyed when hearing that Suletta would celebrate his birthday with him. Then he gets actually destroyed.... sheeeesh.

I'm having so much fun with piecing together the lore its just great. The fight sequence was awesome, and honestly my favorite had to be the launch sequences. For some reason that was just the coolest part to me. Seeing more of what Aerial is capable of was such a treat, but man did that ending hit me like a fucking train.

A really good episode that sets up more mystery and lore.

So it's pretty clear at this point that Aerial has some level of sentience, especially given Elan's visions of what looked like a child's ghost in the machine.

It could be completely artificial but I could see the twist being that Ericht from the prologue and Suletta are actually different people, and Ericht's consciousness was uploaded into the Gundam; Eri becomes Aerial.

This would explain why Suletta doesn't seem to have any memories of the prologue. It would also explain how it's able to be piloted without killing the pilot, because it basically has a human sacrifice in there already.

Originally I thought Elan was just a clone, but his memory of what could be his mother, makes me believe he may have been an abducted orphan/homeless child that the corporation wiped the memories of and gave him a new face.

I really enjoy how this series makes "Happy Birthday" very haunting, although it's gonna be a really obvious death flag from now on.

Agree. Never again. Please no singing in English. Find a suitable Japanese alternative if you must, but leave the singing to Macross or the like

RIP, didn’t expect that.

Guess the speculation that this rom-com is gonna end up turning into the classic dark Gundam might be true after all.
Hopefully sooner than later.

Also its nice to see even the show agrees that Suletta is annoying af.

Its about time we get more developement for Miorine X Suletta I think, even if Miorine says a little two timing doesnt matter, having this relationship so underdeveloped just hurts the show.

Think about it, yes Suletta is out there fighting the duels and risking Aerial (though thats on her alone, she didnt need to) but Miorines future depends on who wins a duel with Suletta, all she can do is cheer from the sideline and interfer with others cheating, but ultimately her fate is in Sulettas hands.
Honestly I can fully understand why she is acting like such a tsundere when her fiance is risking her future for no purpose.

I guess I have to watch the prequel now

Just saw a comment on Youtube point out that on episode 5 the fortune teller said Suletta had a sibling.
I guess the speculation that Ericht = Aerial is true. Also Ericht = Eri = aERIal.
Suletta might be a clone, or Lady Prospera is pregnant on the prologue.

Woah! Elan is a clone or something. I wonder where they’ll go with that. The fight was awesome this week. The plot seems to be getting more serious now too.

Not much else to say though. I have questions, but they’ll be answered eventually. Loved this episode.

When they showed Guel in a tent i lost it all, look what they have done to my boy

Also, 21 years..? I have been wondering why the child's name from the prologue episode wasn't Suletta even if they look pretty much the same, now im thinking she might be something like Elan and is borrowing Prospera's daughter face

The birthday song is cursed in Suletta's world. So Elan was not only and enhanced human, but a clone of the real Elan. I guess this is to minimize the risk of putting extra strain on Elan's body while piloting the Gundam. It seems that Lady Prospera is using Suletta and Ariel to smoke out the rest of the existing witches who are using the Gund technology. Poor Guel was kicked out of his own house and is forced to sleep in a tent outside on campus. Pride really does come before the fall and now his little brother is in charge. The duel between Elan and Suletta was intense and I liked the fact that they were able to fight outside for a change, but in the end Suletta used her newtype powers to beat Elan who was later terminated for not getting the proper results for his masters at Peil Technologies. I can see people making memes of Suletta still waiting on Elan.lol.

It's interesting theory. I wonder though, perhaps "revenge" part refers to something else that happened before (or not long after) Prologue?

This was the first episode that's really broke out of the lighter, school drama-esque tones since the prologue.
The implications of what's happening to some students at the academy, the subtle manipulations of Prospera, and the shadowy underworld of the corporations that run this society.
Not gonna spoil anything, but the darkness that lies just below the surface of this story has me so exited for the rest!

Wow, ripperoni pepperoni, Elan. Looks like he's about to have a bad time. Or already had his last bad time.
Like, sorry Elan... but was that Guel with a tent outside? I kinda died for a second there. lol Poor guy-- seriously, poor guy... but also lol poor guy. But like he's strong to just do what he's gotta do. Good on him.

Jesus Christ, that prologue energy slowly seeping in now. I better not hear anyone singing happy birthday in this show anymore.

I have this stinking feeling that the "darling daughter" Prospera is referring to, is not Suletta, but Aerial.

Rest in peace Elan No. 4, that's pretty fucking tragic. He's a clone, but they're not like creating them from nothing, they're taking some poor kids probably then making them into Gundam test subjects. I wonder why they're using the original Elan as a base though, does he have like DNA or something that makes him the most compatible with Gundams, I don't fucking know.

Seeing Guel just camping is hilarious lmao, he's probably going to end up in the Earthians group, at least that's what I am hoping for. Man might be cocky, but gotta respect the integrity.

Miorine being an understanding wife. Really looking forward to the next episode.

People crying about the school setting and yet there is no school scenessince ep1? Doesnt even serve as background.
You could start a random ep and you wouldnt realize this is a school. Even that exam could be a regular training session in military.

Maybe this shows has flaws but the setting and the sexuality of the MC isnt one.

All the Yuru Camp memes with Guel though lol.

I'm here for his redemption arc, he's cool after he defended Suletta.

Very strongly disagree, them not jumping into romance is whats saving this from becoming too shoujoey in a bad way, theres literally no reason for Miorine to develop any romantic feelings as of yet they barely know eachother and the whole fiance thing was always just a means to an end. Having it gradually develop slowly if they are going the romantic route will apy off far more in the long run cause it at leats feels likie they are kind of becoming friends first.

Suletta's been there for what, like 4 or 5 days? 1 of which was spent in jail and alot of the other days was interacting with other characters on Suletta's own.

OMG, they killed my favourite character and it's only ep 6. T____T Man I really hate the Happy B-day song now, that's 2 important deaths while singing it.

Elan #4 reminds me a bit of Stellar from Gundam Seed Destiny (I lowed Stellar T__T), although he's kinda similar to Meer too (with his face being changed to look like real Elan).

Suletta is fucking annoying, but I was shipping her with Elan $4 (I have to ship characters XD). There goes my ship. T__T

I still don't like this this Gundam anime, my favourites so far are Wing, Seed and 00. (Didn't like X and still need to watch Iron Blooded Orphans).

GIVE ME AN ELAN FIGURE, even a little one, please figure makers!!! I need to pair him up with the Suletta figure. (And Miorine can be paired up with Guel. Still need someone for Shaddiq.)
