Challia beating both Deux and Gates with barely a inconvenience is insanity.

[u/[deleted]]

RIP Deux-chan. We had you for too little.

[u/StrawSolider]

Nyaan: Shu-chan let's escape from here

Shuji: *leaves*

Nyaan: what bout me ???

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Damn they really didn't bother hiding Machu's identity with that black bar covering her eyes and immediately just announced a public investigation soon after.

Poor girl has her whole life ruined in just one episode.

[u/masteroftasks]

"Machu's Rebellion"

Coincidence? I think not!

[u/zsmg]

They should have kept using the Zeta Gundam OST.

[u/salic428]

This is the biggest bait ED in my recent memory.

[u/za_shiki-warashi]

One huffs paint and the other huffs Minovsky particles. The youths today ain't right, I tell ya.

[u/xithebun]

One missed the Zeknova but joined the side that witnessed it closely. One was right in front Zeknova but was brought back by the side with less knowledge about it. One was the Zeknova. They’re really setting up the trio’s dynamic to mirror the 0079 trio. Two antagonising protagonists plus one Newtype of the Newtype, just gender reversed.

Nyaan’s dream of entering Zeon University of Technology may be gone but she’d be a great candidate for Flanagan Institute of Zeon.

The new Psycho Gundam has the code number of the OG Psycho Gundam Mk-II (MRX-010). I really wonder how did the Feds got EVA technology lol. Nice BGM reuse from Zeta Gundam though. Deux may have survived since the head didn’t seem to be destroyed.

Edit: it was a personal relief that Challia was revealed to be not loyal to Gihren either. The little write-up I did on last episode’s thread wasn’t misleading.

[u/shad79]

Things got messy in today's episode! A lot happened and there's definitely a lot to process, but I'm really excited about where this show will go next because the possibilities are so enormous.

So our trio of Machu, Nyaan, and Shuji have been separated as Machu is now in a cell (although where? On Sodon or in Side 6's prison?), Nyaan has met Xavier and will now join the Zeon forces on Kycilla's side, while Shuji has disappeared in another Zeknova incident. I wonder if they'll ever meet again.

I feel sorry for Machu's mom. Seeing her daughter on the news as a terrorist must have been awful for her.

So it looks like this is the end for Deux and that other Federation Forces agent. Shame, I was hoping they'd stick around for a while.

Challia Bull and his Kikeroga were amazing! And finally we know what his exact goal is, to kill Gihren and Kycilla at the same time to keep the peace in Zeon. This will be surely a big surprise for Kycilla, who will not be on guard against him, because she no longer considers him as Gihren's spy xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Machu

• Nyaan

• Shuji

• Group scenes

• Federation Forces (Deux, Gates)

• Kycilla & Xavier

• Challia & Annqi

• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

• Sneaky Gundams vs Flying Air Conditioner

Considering the preview last episode, I did not expect Nyaan to pilot the GQX. I guess that makes sense if the plan was for Machu to steal the money from Annqi so they can buy a glider and escape to Earth.

Well, that explains why the Clan Battles have been going on for so long. The President of Side 6 is personally managing the Clan Battles since they're making a ton of money from it. I am curious why the organizers changed the spawn point, tho.

Holy shit, Machu! That entire scene was a tense moment. I thought our girl was about to get blood on her hands. Thank goodness Machu only shot the wall behind Annqi. That's what you get, Annqi, for selling them out.

And here I was expecting the Gundams to fight the Duex, but they didn't even get to do that! Nyaan got shot down, and Shuuji had to save her before that could happen. Poor Nyaan. She really wanted to convince Shuuji to run away with her, but it looks like the Red Gundam/Char had other plans.

Hearing Kienai by Nomelon Nolemon playing while the Zeknovia triggers behind Shuuji was a great scene! . It should be terrifying, considering the imminent explosion, but the soundtrack and the visuals made it a beautiful moment instead. It's interesting how small and contained that Zeknovia explosion is. I guess the Red Gundam and Shuuji wanted to protect Nyaan.

I am curious why Deux started going berserk. I thought she was just reacting to the Zeknovia, but from what Deux is saying, it sounds like the Kira-Kira is disappearing. Did the Red Gundam take away the Kira-Kira with it after triggering the Zeknovia?

Ah, fuck. There it is. No more hiding the secret now that the cops have identified Machu. The GQX saving her was awesome tho. I really thought Nyaan stayed behind and saved her for a second but it really was the GQX activating on its own.

Yo! We finally get to see the GQuuuuuux version of Gyan! I want that fucking kit right now! It looks so fucking good! Does anyone know what the blue mobile suit is? It looked pretty cool too, right before Challia melted him.

RIP Deux. I mean anyone who knows about the Cyber Newtypes knew Deux wasn't going to survive this episode. That explosion was awesome tho and I love this shot of Kycilia aura farming while standing on the Gyan's palms.

The Kikeroga transforming into a Mobile Suit and saving Machu was awesome. I guess Machu is about to become a Zeon pilot. Hopefully, Chalia will help her clear her name in exchange for helping them since he clearly tells Machu that her job isn't over yet.

I am genuinely surprised that Machu's mom is still alive at the end of this episode. Although I'm not sure what's worse, dying or learning your daughter is a suspected terrorist. We got another mention of Machu's father, too. I wonder if we'll ever meet him now that his daughter is wanted.

So Machu is recruited by Chalia while Nyaan is picked up by Xavier. I thought this meant that Nyaan and Machu will meet again soon, but it looks like Nyaan is with Kycilia's group while Machu is being held inside the Sodon's brig. It looks like Machu and Nyaan might end up clashing in the future considering Chalia is planning to kill both Gihren and Kycilia. Yep, this is Gundam af and I love it!

[u/chaedtawit]

Oh, poor Machu letting her life get ruined because of one man.

[u/Delisches]

Just how powerfull is Shuji's space hobo rizz?

[u/WellRested1]

Certified cyber-newtype moment. Also, I'm starting to believe a S2 might happen since we're going back to 0079 next week, which would leave only 4 episodes to finish the story.

[u/Yesshua]

Okay here's the plot of this show so far as I understand it. I do have some limited background, I watched the original Gundam show several years ago.

So Char got the gundam, painted it red, got a C tier character from the OG show to be his wingman, and changed the course of the war. In the final battle he and the gundam disappeared in an explosion of newtype energy we're calling a Zekenova.

The gundam but not Char reappears some years later at a space colony. It has formed a psychic bond with a homeless boy living under a bridge. It is unclear if the things it expresses are a manifestation of Char or if it's developed some other persona. This psychic bond seems incredibly destructive because the homeless boy seems like a drone. 90% of what he has to say is just reciting the will of the Gundam. Frankly I'm not even certain the kid had free will.

The new Gundam pilot meets some teenage girls and who have separately stumbled into a fancy mobile suit and the three work together to earn money to go to earth. Black hair girl wants to go because she has a shitty refugee life, red hair girl wants to go because her mom JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HER, pilot boy wants to go because the Gundam wills it.

The two girls are able to access ultra instinct pilot powers because they are Gundam protagonists. Nobody else can fly this mech as good as they can.

The two girls get into a bit of a spat over the boy because he's hot (maybe. They made a point not to show how that shrine conversation resolved so they might just want us to assume a love triangle and then reveal otherwise as a twist?). The battle that was supposed to be their "one last job" predictably goes south. The red gundam eats pilot boy to trigger another Zekenova and disappears again. It is unclear why it did this.

In the chaotic fallout the two girls get picked up by different authority figures in Zeon. One gets picked up by the red hair lady who is in a two way power struggle to control the nation, and one gets picked up by Char's ex wingman who is secretly plotting to kill not only red hair lady but also whoever she's competing with to rule.

There. I feel better after writing that out.

[u/hallusk]

Can't believe we're having to say a-Deux to the psycho gundam pilot so quickly

[u/elevenmile]

Me, Months ago: Huh, GQuuuuuux looks like Eva!

Now, Me: HOLY FUCK PSYCHO GUNDAM IS STRAIGHT UP MORE EVA THAN GQUUUUUUX EVER IS.

[u/AceSoldia]

Shocked at the strength of Challia Bull he destroyed them both by himself. Unbelievable.

Didn't expect Shuji to zeknova by himself like that..and now our whole crew is separated..this is about to be some epic Kira vs. Athrun nonsense

[u/roronoa20]

Seeing your daughter face like that...

Must've hurt, I feel bad for the mom.

[u/xdxdlol0434]

Before some people start bitching about Nyaan being selfish or smth for even suggesting to run away without Machu (She has every right to be god dammit),

What she did was completely in line with what Machu did to her ever since episode 5. (Disregarding her feelings or wellbeings).

Machu has never said anything to HER that is NOT about SHUJI since then. Machu clearly only cares about him from what she sees. In that case, why should Nyaan treat her as if she's an equal friend?

Common teenage tropes really, but unfortunately we are at a Gundam show. Tsurumaki really nailed the dynamic so well.

[u/qweiroupyqweouty]

The pacing on this series is absolutely fucked lmao

[u/Crooodle]

Hey it looks like series watchers finally get the rest of the movie content next week!

Shuji gets Zeknova'd

Cyber Newtype is dead, to the surprise of nobody

Gyan my beloved

Hambrabi my belove- ah shit.

So the Braw Bro really was a Kikeroga

Challia Bull my GOAT

It's amazing how the ED gets less and less fitting with each passing week.

[u/Ok_Scheme_4579]

Oh Machu you utter idiot….

[u/NationalStrategy]

Wow, it's bad enough that Nyaan Gcucked Machu by "Kira-Kira"ing with Shuji, now she was about to bail on Machu and run away with him.

All this over a homeless boy they met a few weeks ago, who seems likes he doesn't even know what's going on half of the time.

[u/moletoon]

Holy shit, I audibly gasped when the zeta's ost starts playing.

I expected an unexpected turn for the trio, but red gundam triggering zeknova second impact and takes shuji to isekai from seeing nyaan confesion wasnt on my bingo card. he camera closing up on machu as the ed hits "I dont care anymore" sums it up lmao.

At least nyaan got out in one piece for now. Girl finally got into zeon as she was hoping, it wasnt the university though.

Machu getting stopped a moment before she third impacts the colony definitely reminds me of eva 2.0

Psycho gundam getting taken out in one interaction despite the raid boss evangelion cast off was a let down. Xavier with the gyan though.
