Awesome seeing the Federation have such great success here. It's also cool to know that the debris of Side 4 that they attack through was where the anime Gundam Thunderbolt takes place. There wasn't much focus on Amuro and not much evidence of him destroying much.

Amuro Ray Kill Count:
1 Dom kill, 2 Musai kills; 3 kills total this episode
65 kills total

I know they're going with mysterious and dreamy with Lalah but... it comes off as cringe.

Intense fight, I like it and the solar weapon was fucking awesome.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I do like how they humanise the enemies as a lot of other animes just leave the bad guy as just that or as faceless red shirts. Hell this does it better than some animes made now a day.

Starting to think Amuro is a little overpowered.

I've seen people in these threads mention the term Newtype and associate it with Amuro and some other pilots. Since this is my first Gundam show, I have no idea what that term means. Hopefully this show will introduce it and give some background before it ends. Bright's conversation with the commander and Fraw Bow's comment about Amuro look like a sign that they will.

Dozle has around 20784 death flags placed on him at the moment. In fact, it would probably be a miracle if he doesn't die at this point xD

Looks like Dozle is going to die in the next episode while Hayato is quite injured. Lets see what happens next!

A really solid episode showing how the war is really turning against Zeon as Dozle prepares to go all out. He comes off as a good person, if perhaps too devoted to war, despite being a Zabi. Comments about Amuro being "different" were well-done, reminding the viewer of how those who are different can become feared by others, perhaps unjustly. It also goes along with him growing up.

Man, the weaponry of the federation is just next level. It almost feels too one-sided. Guess the Big-Zam of next episode might even the odds a little, it looks pretty intimidating at least.

The Hayato thing didn't really do much for me. No idea why Hayato thinks about surpassing Amuro when he's stuck with the shitty Guntank. Of course he can't hold a candle to the Gundam, it should be obvious. Hayato is consistently a character who's just there, he really needs a story arc in my opinion.

A very battle-heavy episode, which makes sense. I just find it funny that Amuro doesn't run out of ammo in this fight that lasts over 15 minutes while he's normally out after like 3.

Dozle is very Machiavellian in his leadership which is stereotypical of a villain, however the formula here doesn't work that way as Char has shown humanity and decency toward his soldiers (and to Amuro). I feel bad for Hayato although the whole "Amuro is different" thing is a bit of a trope but he's not super OP or anything, he's just brilliant with technology, so I appreciate that in a main character as well. That solar flare system is insane.

Aaah, Mineva Zabi. The only Zabi who isnt a horribly awful person. (Yet. )

I assume she is going to play a larger role in the later UC Gundams. Looking forward to see how they are going to develop her. Dozle and Garma are probably the least awful Zabis, though thats not saying much. If she was Ghirens daughter id have no hope for her turning out good, seeing how media usually develops legacy characters, but with Dozle as a baseline there is at least a chance.
