Finally Brightslaps! I missed them! You can't have a UC Gundam show without Brightslaps.

Oliver is a Pimp, and apparently he's also a decedent of Bright, lol. But seriously why are all the shrike Team hot chicks? What sense does that make? Oh well.. at least they're hot (but let's face it, they are all so dead, especially considering how dark this installment is).

yeah those girls are all so fucked, this is suppossed to have a higher body-count than zeta but drastically less than ideon, so im really just looking at most of this cast and saying "they wont make it"

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Ideon killed the whole universe so nobody can top that. It was just the ending that killed all named characters, over the course of the show only few named characters died (three I can think of). If we're talking named characters, they just need to kill more than 10-15 good guys here to top Ideon.

I still wonder why Shakti didn't show Katejina's letter. What is her motive. But anyway that brightslap, no punch was amazing to end an episode with.

O_o Looks like some informations about the previous episodes are revealed only in the next recap segment. The narrator interpreted Katejina's behavior as a result of love (for Chronicle) and her letter as a sign of "remorse" (thanks to the peaceful atmosphere of the village).

Uso's decision to go ahead with child and baby aboard was incredibly dumb, even as a child (even worse considering he proved himself more intelligent than that). And is he seeing his mother in Katejina?
Nice to see even a nameless soldier hesitate to shout when he's facing a little girl and a baby.

4/5 An all-female Gundam squad? How many will stay alive?

But it had a far stronger impact in this episode (like in 0079) than in all (Double) Zeta. Zeta had made a farce out of the "physical punishment".

Tomino dislikes Gundam anime he doesn't make but he probably took inspiration in 0083's Anaheim all-(hot 80s)female engineers team. If there could be such a team back in UC83, why not an equivalent with soldiers now.

edit @Sapewloth : I didn't want to sound like I approved this case of abuse. And now that you pinpointed at the same time the Shrike's Amazones and Uso's recklessness, I realized whose fault Uso's development as a pilot was. If only he had have better "senpai"...

@The_Morii Not particularly for this one, I was generalizing thanks to his contempt or reactions toward some other titles (besides G Gundam) if I remember well. Sorry to have induced you into error. ^^ (have a good time with this series !)
The_Morii said:
Ah god, i'm such an idiot! what i meant was 0080

It actually makes more sense now, thanks ! ^^ And yes, I think this is the only one that would probably earn a Tomino seal of approval, if there was such a thing (someone should totally create one !)

How dare you say criticize Haro, especially in UC 153, I hope you'll meditate on those sayings...

Like @Hatul, I'm less shocked by Shrike's team being all-female than by the fact that they're all seemingly gorgeous amazones. I mean seriously, where in the fuck did Oliver recruit them? At a casting for Side 2's Next Top Model? I also agree that their piloting is reckless as fuck. Aiming for the highly explosive cockpit on Earth is not only dangerous for everyone in the vicinity of the detonation, but also an absolute disaster for the environment. Look at what they did to that forest of blooming trees!

Now THAT was a good use of a Brighto Punch. I agree with you @Rei366, unlike Zeta and 0079 where phsycial violence had pretty much replaced all common forms of human interactions, here the punch had actual impact. Still, inflicting that kind of punishment on a 11 year old is a little too much for me: Uso was very reckless this episode, especially considering how far ahead he was able to predict the BESPA's movements, but he's no Kamille Bidan. A slap would've be fine.

Haha! Yes indeed. And where did Oliver come from? I know he was in the last couple episodes, but he just appears.. I must have had a brain fart and just stopped paying attention.

This show is pretty darn good so far, although Oliver should slap the damn baby so it shuts up! No more babies, please!

Did he ever made a comment on 0083? i think he would loved it.

@Rei_III
Ah god, i'm such an idiot! what i meant was 0080: War in the Pocket, you know because of its anti war message and its take on children view on war and giant robots, from what i read, tomino really dislike gunpla and fetishizing of mass destruction Weapons like gundam.
So i thought it would be right up his alley.

Shakti finally told Karl to shut up...only for a short time, unfortunately

Uso surrounded by a group of women pilots...and sent in the air at the end of the episode with a Brightslap. Oliver-san is abusing children just like Wong Lee!

Can the goddamn baby just shut up already. It feels like a good third of this episode has the baby crying and it's incredibly annoying.
