Good action this episode really liked the space battle as the style reminds me of the first season.

Ah looks like Mika is ready to do anything to win. Better get out of his way!

Whoa, what an intense battle! Might be just the most intense and grand-scale melee to date! And I'm loving all the strategy and tactics stuff about it, too, and, just like the spoilers said, it turned into a more or less 3 way showdown.

Julietta is asking to die there, getting into Mika's way when he's going for Sandoval.

Orga working for 36 hours straight and still not feeling like resting? That's some mad stamina right there.

I guess development for the new characters is on hold for now, Hash had only 2 brief cameos, but that's fine with me, as some more exciting stuff is happening.

The pit-stop was cool, seriously felt like a race. Lupus in action is the coolest mecha of the series, though Rebake Full City is not far behind. Oh, and I wonder where Tekkadan got another ship (I think I'm gonna miss Orga on the old bridge of Isaribi which is now fully Eugene's territory).

And yeah, the Masked Man is Gaelio, that voice was telling.

You need an Ein or a Carta every season for IBO.

And the show throws a curve ball and reveal that the mask is actually a voice change and the mask man is actually McGillis' father.

Great episode, Classic Action packed Gundam. Soundtrack was excellent as well.

Orga worked for 36 hours. :O Nice little moment he and Mika shared.

Nice to see Eugene taking control of positioning and movement. Pretty cool how Tekkadan just charge through the middle to take out the enemies backlines, Reckless strategy though.
Loved the full scale space battles, Tekkadan is really equipped for battle now. Performing mid battle refuels efficiently and even mid battle snacks. xD
Glad that there's also a bit of strategy involved.

I love how Sunruse make Barabatos looks so cool on the battlefield, With all those blue trails and eye flashes, Full City was pretty nice as well. That Scissor weapon was neat.
The pirate leader's mech also looked kinda cool with those dual sickle weapons.

I guess the new glowing masked man is pretty much confirmed to be Gaelio.
Julietta really shouldn't be trying to stop Mika.

This is how you do a proper space battle. Hot damn that was intense, tiring and fulfilling all at the same time. Gundam IBO delivering in spades.

Ooh, little quiet Julietta you're so full of yourself and now you've pissed of Mikazuki. Thou ass is toast, if not in this episode, some down the line.

Holy shit, that was insane. These Gjallarhorn bastards are getting on my nerves, and I can clearly see that this bitch is underestimating Mika. Hope he tears her a new one in the next episode. I am sure that the guy in the mask is the one that McGillis supposedly killed, I forgot his name. Hopefully McGillis arrives there as well.

With that voice. It is Gaelio after all. He is back for revenge.

Man it is really fun to watch the warfare episodes. Just pumps you up. That girl from Gjallarhorn has a death wish for facing Mika. Looks like the other fleet of Gjallarhorn wants to take the credit for defeating the pirates' leader.

The battle was insane, the episode ends at the best part!!! :O

Julietta, better you get out of the way of Mika, of course you will be killed by him.

I was thinking: The mask man is Gaelio, and he reminds me of the Iron Mask of Gundam F91 (Carozzo Ronah). I believe Gaelio is using maskara by the same motive of Carozzo: THE SHAME.

Yeah that has to be Gaelio under that mask and I see a bare Gundam frame as well.

I don't think Julietta will die next episode, I don't see the death flags at all but she'll get her ass kicked by Mika anyway.

That was a very nice battle and the race to get the last kill should make next episode even more exciting.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Man that felt more like a legend of the galactic heroes fight than a gundam one, love the massive scale this one fight had. It feels totally different than the fights in season 1.

and yeah it was obvious that gali gali was masked dude, they honestly should of just revealed that last episode. I wonder if he can actually take that mask off though or if he will die if he does.

This was a pretty exciting episode with tons of action. Orga being a boss and telling the pirates to bring it on, Mika kickin ass and taking names as usual, but what was best was seeing Eugene getting to take command of the fleet for the battle. This new season has yet to disappoint and I'm stoked to see what happens to the boys at Tekkadan in the coming months.

And it's even weirder watching Tekkadan and Gjallarhorn VS Gjallarhorn.
Hope Mika will teach them all a lesson ;)

Pretty awesome episode. But I literally ROFL when they fell for the tow trick. I could see that coming within a second after they mentioned only three ships are there. Medieval age tactic and they fell for it. LOL.

Ah, my weekly does of heavy metal on metal action. The mecha mayhem was great, as always, even more so with the addition of a few new suits and a refurbished old one. However, the masked man's Gundam Frame was probably the most intriguing one of them all. Barbatos Lupus will definitely meet a worthy opponent.

I rather liked the pirate leader's distinction between the Human Debris and true pirates, empathising the cruel fate of child soldiers (in any faction, for that matter).

tfw Garma becomes the new Char and your Gusion can't Rebake your Full City

Tekkadan fell way to easily for the three ship trick (it was pretty obvious an experienced boss of a successful pirate group would never remain in a dangerous area while leaving himself open to attacks like that), but they quickly redeemed themselves with all the clever tactics they used during the ensuing battle. Speaking of which, it really reminded me of this week Haikyuu!! in just how intense and positively exhausting it was; if the show can deliver this much on its first big battle, then no doubt that the rest of the season is going to be one hell of a ride. The different character interactions were much more enjoyable and easy to follow as well, since, unlike episode 1 and 2, the dialogue didn't suffer from the necessity to provide any kind of exposition. The OST is still fire and that cliffhanger was on point.

So yeah, pretty darn good episode.

GaliGali being revealed as the masked man - however obvious it may have been - was definitely the highlight of this episode for me. I really felt bad over how his story ended, he was one of my favourite characters from S1.

I can't wait for GaliGali to cut off McGillis head and drink the blood from his skull~ ..maybe a bit harsh, but.. no, fuck McGillis.

its a intentional choice, mika's right eye is dead outside of the barbatos and throughout the entire first episode it was always without any shine in it save for when he was in the mech. In this episode we also see his right arm just floating around limp.

Considering your spoiler, you seem to be familiar with the first season? If so, you should know why Gaelio is a bit pissed at McGillis. If you forgot rewatch episode 25 of season 1.

Not to say Mika ain't great but.... I think everyone here on the thread are taking Julietta a bit too lightly. The fact that she could sneak in and block Barbatos' way is already indication that she's not to be taken lightly. Just because Mika's in a Gundam doesn't immediately make him invincible. Specially not when Gali's MS is obviously another Gundam remains from the previous wars. As per normal, I expect Barbatos to gain an upgrade or three before the end of this season.

I expect the only reason why Julietta will back off is because her "Master" gets himself into some stupid shit and she's forced to.

That said, seeing Atra at the farm in the preview, I'm pretty positive that the conflict ends in a Tekkadan victory. I just don't expect Mika to have his own way the entire battle, is all.

Loved the tactics used this episode, as well as the smart conservation and resupplying strategy they used in between the battle.

Looking forward to the conclusion of the battle next week.

Good episode. I like the fact that they're putting in some real battle strategy and coordination. Gundam used to be about just MC going in and destroying swaths of MS by himself and it's nice to see in IBO that others get to do work.

But I think they need to think up more lines for Orga. It's always "I'm being pushed forward by Mika" or "All we can do is keep going." Also, must say I'm still disappointed by the very predictable fact that Gaelio is almost 100% the masked man. It really feels like they destroyed a central plot from the last season, unless McGillis deliberately left Gaelio alive to check himself...but that seems unlikely, and pretty nonsensical.

Good space battle, lots of MS action, thought they were gonna do more with the ship-to-ship though.

Gusion Rebake Full City with its pincer was 👌

I'm thinking Julietta was a human debris rescued by Rustal hence her eccentric personality. Wonder how she will clash with the top notch Mika.
