Hey, Bright, Hi Bright, Yo Bright!

I think Quattro was giving Bright a clue as to his identity. I like them both, I want them to get along just right =D

Oh wow. Bright actually shook Char's hand. If only he knew. :s

Living in space would be so fun. I was very cool whenever Fa glomped Kamille and sent them off whirling to the ceiling.

Amazing episode!!

I'm glad Kamille is learning to respect his superiors now, compared to Amuro which took him 5+ episodes just to mature.

He looks like Amuro when he was fixing Haro ^^

So Hayku Shiki is the name of Char's new suit :)

I see the Kanji "Hyaku" from the shoulders so it must be the true name!

That bazooka is big as hell! I wonder why did that mysterious guy made Char pressured as hell.

Lol Char is probably hinting who he maybe, but Bright has no clue.

Fa returns! She really does reminds me of Frau Bow. Damn titans will probably kill her parents soon.

I really should stop watching the PV's. Their spoiling it too much!! This will be the last one like the one i did when they revealed Matilda's death prior to the episode airing!!!

Can't wait either way!!

I ship Fa and Camille, he should go for that, but going by the preview it looks like Camille's going to be a bitch to her too.

Sigh, I feel like I'm just watching this for the lols, Camille being a psychotic bitch, Char being the "good guy" and easygoing lieutenant, Bright getting his ass kicked by subordinates, Amuro chilling in his swanky mansion with his fancy butler. I'm not taking this series entirely seriously, is that bad?

If only Bright knew who he was shaking hands with. What irony.

Mixed feelings about Fa showing up again, but I suppose it was inevitable considering that she's in the ED.

The AEUG has a pretty decent fleet. Nine ships might not be much compared to the entire Federation, but that might be enough to take down Jaburo.

It sounds like we're about to get our first upgrade.

First 15 minutes: absolutely nothing happens. Then, suddenly... did he just say Bright!? >Two minutes later: BRIGHT!!!

So, about the last four minutes of the episode:
-Was that a Zeon character? Was he a newtype? What was his purpose? What..?
-Bright and Char shaking hands was amazing. Going from mortal enemies to "old friends" is just really neat. I am 95% sure Bright knows that Char is Char.
-Kamille's old girlfriend getting involved is particularly interesting, and I am very curious to see where they are going with this.
-The crew consisting from a large part of civilians is what i consider a Gundam staple, even if I have only seen a single series of the franchise. I am extremely happy that this ship now also has a large amount of civilian characters.

All in all, this was a horribly paced episode, but I loved the ending ^_^

The action in this me is a little convoluted compared to 79, I feel lots of suits get introduced with little explanation of what makes them unique. Also, watching the giant bazooka, it makes me wonder how influential this series was to American comic artist Rob Liefeld. Huge weapons, and lots of lines, seems he got a lot from here.

Hope they introduce villains more interesting than the Titans, the seem kind of dull. Happy to see Bright, and I agree that he knows it's Char. I miss the 79 characters and hope they take center stage at some point.

This lapsus from Bright ^^ Glad he knows he is shaking the hand of the White Base's nemesis.
Fa... I have a bad feeling about this childhood "friends" reunion. Will this lead to more drama from the hero? Getting his "previous girl" back will prevent all his attempts to catch Emma. (or Reccoa if she comes back after her spying trip).
And this new mysterious (newtype?) pilot in his mysterious mobile armor awakens my curiosity (Titans are boring tyrants).

The end made the episode a lot better. But this is really a festival of mecha models -_- The mini workers were fine, but how many models were already introduced in only 10 episodes? It makes it feel like this is more about robots than about anything else. I miss 0079 political intrigues, power contests and war drama. Is this the influence of Bandai taking over the show ?

4/5

Now, it is probably only a matter of a few episodes to get Amuro and maybe Kai back! (of course Bright MUST stay)

It is magnificent event management, so dynamic and not so formal narration, it seems very true what you see during the episode. Great clash of mecha, Kamille seems already a veteran. Funny the nickname given by the enemy to Char, during the clash.

I'm curious if Bright'll actually notice since he referred to Char as Captain (I understand that this is only because Char obviously does give off the impression to be one but still); hopefully he'll find out soon (so far he hasn't been treated very well :S)

Looks like there'll be a lot of unnecessary love drama during the next few episodes...

It would've been interesting if Fa would actually resent Kamille and be angry at him because of her parents abduction but I guess that would've also been unnecessary drama

Also since that Matilda spoiler in season 1 I should've avoided the preview but unfortunately I paid attention to the preview this time around as well :/

(P.S.: I know that pretty much everyone besides me hated Amuro and immediately embraced Kamille; but I really miss Amuro and I wish he'd return as a main character although I know it's not gonna happen...)

Bright's shuttle showing up is pretty convenient, but I'm glad to see Fa and him back the story so I don't mind much. Beyond that, this episode shows how messy the plot has become. Zeta Gundam is doing what it can to add a political aspect to the setting, but the setting is still too vague to allow those political points to have much weight. My hope is that more episodes will provide some clarity that will answer the issues I currently have.

Hmm... the show needs to answer some questions as to why would Titans join the remaining people of Principality of Zeon (one of Quattro concern) because I thought that Titans hate Zeon unless I miss something... also even if they are a rank higher than some Earth Federation higher ups would let them use some of this Zeon like tactics more so not stop them if they are running wild, put them down like the rabid dogs they are.

"There's a chance that the Republic of Zeon may join forces with the Titans." Char, do you even remember why tf the Titans were formed? o___0 That is exactly the opposite of their mission.

This episode started with the same sequence as ep. 5 and 8. Oh well.

By the way, why did Blex disappear for the last few episodes? He was the most noticeable member of the Argama crew apart from the main cast, imo.

I keep laughing at Jerid screaming after getting unexpectedly owned by his opponents, it's the same cut being used again and again, and it's hilarious every time.

This episode also has a historic shot of Bright and Char shaking hands! And their exchange made me feel that Bright knew the real identity of Quattro.
Fa finally became relevant in an awkward reunion smh.

Nevertheless, I still am a bit tired of all these obligatory battles each episode. At least this Wong Lee fellow can actually fight in battles and not only whine about how he's a super important investor and beat kids up for no reason.
I'm still very confused about what happened at the Moon, why the attack on Titans and their ship seemingly didn't have any consequences at all? They were, like, attacked by the troops of the freaking city they stayed in, why did nothing happen? Oh well, we're leaving the Moon anyway, so I can just forget it, huh?

Wonder if the title of the episode refers to Char and Bright or Kamille and Fa, lmao. I'm not quite sure, but it seemed to me, like Bright knew who he was checking hands with. Hence the 'commander' thing. But the dude saved his life, so why would he make a scene about it. In the end, they got a common enemy now.

As for the rest of the episode... Not much to say. Some cool action scenes and Char's golden mobile suit looks glorious but not much to talk about.
