| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- "Operation Giant Roller" Wow, Victory Gundam continues to get more and more brutal. The Zanscare empire's "battleships" are "pressing out the land." In other words, they are crushing innocent civilians underneath their machines. It seems senseless to me. Why the hell are they slaughtering so many innocent ppl instead of taking on military targets. There is basically NO reason to side w/ a group of killers. With their excuse of "evolving the world", they come across as no more than thinly veiled fanatical killers. I hope Uso can get it together and help avoid more slaughter. On a side note, Tomache & Odelo are turning into pretty good wingmen. Besides this ep, Uso has been a pretty good & ironic mentor. |
 |
| The Zanscare Empire wants to rule the people by sheer terror and they also want to show to the masses how the federation abandon and don't protect their own. This new battleship is only a symbol of terror. It seems that the Zanscare Empire doesn't have the military power to lunch a direct attack against the federation's main force. |
| Getting heavy on the action and massacre, and some crazy huge mechas appeared. Pretty neat battle scenes, but the drama felt forced, I couldn't buy it. Odelo and Tomache are evolving as characters, that's a nice touch. The way this is going, they'll probably have a meaningless deaths though... |
 |
| I can't understand Zanscare's tactics at all either. It seems like they're trying to just kill everyone, it's either them vs. the league or them vs. innocent civilians. Why would Katejina join them anyways when she was almost one of the innocent civilians killed by them? I certainly wouldn't join the military of an enemy who destroyed my home town for no apparent reason.... |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Odelo falco punches Uso there at the end. He is easily the best character in this show along with Chronicle. <3 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Bad episode, we only had battles ¬¬ Uso must be going crazy, poor little one. |

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 |
| Holy... those Motorads are destroying everything in their way. Total juggernauts! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| The beginning scene with the mechanician desperately acting on her own was the only good moment this time "Better pollute wildernes with nuclear explosions." Huh? Why create a warship with a wheel ? To terrorize people with a bulldozer... They even seem to fear that the Federation could enter the conflict. Not wondering why when you see where they spend money. 3/5 Battles, battles, battles everywhere, everytime! Seabury said: Why would Katejina join them anyways when she was almost one of the innocent civilians killed by them? I certainly wouldn't join the military of an enemy who destroyed my home town for no apparent reason.... Did you forget her reaction toward the dead in the town? She spent several weeks with Chronicle, that's when love happened. At first, she felt guilty toward Uso (probably because of this sister/brother or maternal link they had) then the lover side of her womanhood took the priority, even though the maternal side still prevented her to kill Uso and made her angry about Uso's starting independency. St0rmblade said: Mobile suits have never exploded like *that*, even with their reactor hit Not even in 0079? Wasn't there an MS destruction blowing up a hole in a colony or sometllhing? @St0rmblade Right ! My bad. I also thought this Victory scene was a bit too much but it was probably to emphasize the point being made. (also, even if Tomino had thought about it before, I'm not sure if it would have been possible to display it every time it had to be back then) |

| I don't get how someone like Cronicle, who seemed willing to establish some kind of matriarchy revolving around Queen Maria and the concept of peace, would agree to Zanscare Nazi-tier tactics. They've razed an entire city to the fucking ground this episode, for fuck's sake! How does one even defend let alone justify that kind of senseless slaughter? Looks like Uso can't catch a break either. This kid is going to break sooner or later. |

Cronicle was an even tempered, sincere guy, but now that has apparently dissipated. Zanscare has simply evolved into a Nazi group that wants to cleanse the earth of individuals that do not meet the standards of people of space. The action in this episode was nonstop and I loved it. Uso is just awesome.. but how annoying is his affection towards Katejina?!? Not blaming him, he's still a 13 year old, but really.. fuck her. What a heel she is.. someone you love to hate! |
| So Tomino finally remembered the "ecological" part of Zanscare, I see. Not much different from Zeonism, actually. And I'm pretty sure that mobile suits have never exploded like *that*, even with their reactor hit Rei_III said: Not even in 0079? Wasn't there an MS destruction blowing up a hole in a colony or something? There was, I think, but not big enough to form a mushroom cloud like a nuclear bomb |

| This episode was very brutal and sad! We lost Uso's mom and Shatki again! |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| there wasn't any real resistance, but Zanscare just turned the cities into dust. More nonsense is that the Federation does nothing against it. A direct Gundam Nuke had been more effective on that battleship. |

| Between Chronicle and Katejina I wonder who will be the worst Char clone in the end... |
| zanscare empire is just completely brutal at this point |
| ''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| I absolutely adore Tomino's works but his characters and stories seem to go all over the place. Katejina has to be the worst character in the franchise by far. Her switching sides to Zanscare was completely nonsensical. Chronicle started as a somewhat troubled military man that was not entirely evil and genuinely believed in the Queen's ideals but now he just ordered an entire city to be razed to the ground because of... what? Also, I'm sure mobile suits in UC have NEVER exploded like that. In fact, AFAIK minovsky particles rendered nuclear weapons useless and that's why they never show up in most of the Gundam shows except Seed. Mobile suits have exploded in every UC show and they never cause nuclear explotions. So this also came out of fucking nowhere. |
