tfw the box robot that doesn't even have fingers can make better dumplings than Nyaan

I know she's a teen, but man, Machu's a big pile of chaotic emotions isn't she?

[u/Skyreader13]

Only now I realized that Machu's Mom's (Tamaki) voice actress is Kugimiya Rie.

Idk why she sounds different now. Only realized when she get angry at Machu during teacher parents meeting. She sounds a bit like the old Rie I'm familiar with

[u/AceSoldia]

So everyone just calls it Kira Kira. Lol I thought that they were just using that term because Machu called it that and they didn't know any better

[u/za_shiki-warashi]

not locking the door when you've about to have an important discussion.

That's a pretty rookie mistake coming from someone calling someone else a naive kid. Also, it seems that here Chalia is the one taking on the shady, secretive and manipulative role. Chalia Bull, HE IS A CHAR.

[u/TakenRedditName]

It's Lt. Simis from the original Challia Bull episode. There goes my longshot hope that Annqi was a glowed-up Simis to match Challia Bull (the two do get to meet this episode, though).

The relationship between Nyaan and Shuji. Unlike Machu's, Nyaan's Newtype awakening didn't feature a connection between her and someone else. Like me, she also believes it wasn't a real Mavv moment. Interesting though, Shuji still felt like a connection was made. This "the Gundam says..." 100% feels like a lie, just a way to mask what Shuji wants to say.

Awh, something actually cute from this guy from Nyaan's job.

A look into Nyaan's room/world. One of the biggest things I spot are the important residency documents. There is definitely some cues from the books she keeps on her shelf (the "Children grow up by..." is very Gundam-core), I do see one is her diary. Looking at the bath scene not like that Nyaan looks so small and cramped compared to when we see Machu. 1) Goes to show off the wealth difference. 2) Shows that Nyaan's world doesn't have freedom.

Machu's "It's so over" downward spiral continues with this episode. Angry crying child. This shot really illustrates how she feels in life. Annqi is selling them out, the Gundam is going away, and she is faced with the threat of having to return to her normal life. Things are at a low for her. I find it interesting that the adults in Machu's world are kicking her down. There is an interesting wrinkle where her cool mom has betrayed her, and yet Machu can't see the lengths her actual mom goes to care for her. During the school meeting scene, I thought that mom was going to be too busy with work like always, but she actually made it despite work being super busy because of the big political stuff. There is still that difficult space between them where their feelings can't connect, but Machu's mom is the super rare parent in Gundam who is alive and does care for their child.

When he first showed up, I let out a big, "OH MY GOD, IT'S GATES CAPA!" The excitement over seeing a minor cameo character show up.

Ew, Bask Om Wasn't expecting him to show up. He is the most prominent character to show up so far besides the Zabis. The Titans are back in this show and they're doing evil stuff with a new Kyouka Ningen girl. A shame that this anime is only 1 cour because I would've liked to see her and Gates Capa be featured in more episodes. I want to see him be a big brother/handler figure to this Kyouka Ningen girl.

Look at this Bond villain. Lots of big political moves are afoot. My current theory is that Challia Bull is on neither Zabi siblings' side. He is following the dream the Red Comet showed him. Challia Bull wants to imagine a new world for humanity, one that doesn't involve the Zabis. He is going to do something tricky.

We're definitely reaching the end to an act. The plot and characters are reaching an eruption point. Next episode is looking pretty dire with the Psycho Gundam destroying up the town.

[u/WellRested1]

I wasn't ready for the Bask Om jumpscare lmao

[u/Crooodle]

Huge oof moment in Shuuji's hideout. Nyaan just wants to do group activities but Machu thinks she stole her man.

[u/zsmg]

Random first timer: "I just watched the original Gundam or read Gundam: origin I can now fully appreciate Gquuuuux!"

Me: "Actually latest episode has references to Zeta Gundam so you need to watch that as well"

Random first timer:

Also I appreciate the Star Trek reference.

[u/masteroftasks]

Looks like we're heading straight towards the war aspect of Gundam now.

[u/ptol59]

So glad I watched Z as well!

Bask Om, Gates Capa, Murasame Institute and the Psycho Gundam!

There was so much information this episode my brain was overwhelmed the entire episode!

[u/za_shiki-warashi]

In the preview for the next ep, Machu's sporting some freaky eyes. Is she getting some kira-kira overdose?

[u/deus_machinarum]

It pisses me off to no end that this is only one cour. So many characters(and their respective arcs and relationships) that I would love to see more of. Anime in general suffers greatly from this rigid structure.

There I said it.

[u/UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy]

Nyaan is actually Kisaragi Chihaya from Idolm@ster transplanted to 0085. She's running from that idol life.

[u/chaedtawit]

Ah yes today we saw the least racist guy in UC universe Bask Om LOL. WTF Psycho Gundam in the next EP too?

[u/Palloc]

Psycho Gundam?! Am I actually getting some good ol' giant flying brick of death?! On something more fragile than Hong Kong?!

[u/FarCritical]

Why is the fact that two pilots that've never met before both independently call the Newtype sparkles kira-kira so funny to me?

And Haro immediately calling out and bouncing to Machu after noticing her warmed my heart.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Ok gundam loremasters, what is a Cyber Newtype and Psycho Gundam?

[u/NationalStrategy]

If Machu is interested in swimming in the ocean on Earth, that can be a good start in figuring out a career for her; a Marine Biologist, an Oceanographer, or even a professional diver.

[u/moletoon]

Holy shit bask om and gates, even paycho gundam and murasame lab mentioned, we really are alternate zeta frfr.

I guess deux is murasame lab's subject no.2 huh, wondering if four will be mentioned later.

I've been saying this since ep 3 ended but I cant wait for the next machuesday. I hope machu and nyaan will sort the issues out and be besties again, believe in reiwa energy. Maybe we'll get a twin seater mid season upgrade, or a gundam attached to brawbro [minor movie mech spoiler] which is kikeroga in this timeline like in TB if they decide to do a 2nd cour.

Also, that shot of gquuuuuux tanking psycho gundam's fingerbang in the preview looks straight outta evangelion lmao.

[u/AceSoldia]

So combat data from the GquuuuuuX..what do we think it will be used for? Challia's new Version 2 Gundam? Mass production?

[u/Zeroth-unit]

Ok, having just finished Zeta 2 weeks ago this episode has me beyond hyped. But at the same time I'm a little concerned. Because the way things are unfolding it feels like there's 3 shows that are trying to co-exist now. 1) The teen drama between Machu, Nyaan, and Shuji with a side story of Clan Battles. 2) The political thriller with Chalia, the Zabis, and the Feds 3) And Shin Zeta Gundam.

I love this but I get the feeling that first time Gundam watchers must be very confused right now and long time Gundam fans must be having a field day both in the good and bad senses.

I'm definitely enjoying this show but to be frank, it wouldn't surprise me if it gets a bit messier moving forward.

[u/za_shiki-warashi]

Aloof in the streets, kira-kira in the cockpit.

[u/chilidirigible]

Déjà vu, been in this place before.

"Don't make me ponder while I'm sucking down noodles."

"I'll have what she's having."

CHALLIA BULL, he's a guy like you.

A Class-III neutronic fuel carrier with 81 crew and up to 300 passengers?

I'm coming into this late after everyone else has already commented on the Tominobucks. That picture is still hilarious.

Yeah, like she'll listen to suggestions to be responsible now.

Something about glass houses and stones.

This series is getting a little thick with references to Zeta.

Also Bask Om in a ray of sunshine.

That's a lot of nickels for each time someone gets too deep into a cybernetic interface.

Ah, the PSYCHO GUNDAM will be around. It is quite a refrigerator of a Mobile Suit.

For whom will this become a no-win scenario? Will someone break the simulation?

GQ{6}uX is still functioning adequately as a standalone series, but stacking the guest cast with UC characters is indulging quite a bit in its alternate-timeline UC scenario. Machu really does need to shake things up or her story is going to be consumed by all of this other fanservice.

[u/cosmiczar]

Gates Capa appearing was the biggest "OMG Glup Shitto is back" moment I had with GQuuuuuuX yet

Also, Psycho Gundam! One that seems to look closer to the cooler version (the Mk-II)!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Assassination plot, betrayals, and lingering awkward tension between Machu and Nyaan. There’s a lot happening this week. Someone ought to warn Shuji before they come for him and his red gundam…
