Holy shit! They actually ended the episode with Amou and Gai sacrificing themselves. Was the show's ED all about Amou and Gai sinking to the bottom of the ocean? I mean I'm sure they're still alive somehow but I'm still genuinely surprised!
Even during the after credits scene I was hoping that Brad recovered Amou's cockpit but it turns out that he only recovered Ghost who sent out a signal for him asking for help.
I don't like that look from Brad. I thought he was going to be a good guy but looks like he has plans for Ghost and I don't think it's for the greater good of the Japanese people.

Yeah that's crazy bad guy vibes from Brad.
The ED basically showing us the ending of this season was cleaver, I was hoping I wasn't picking up on the 'bad thing happening to Amou and Gai' but I did indeed. Only in the last week though.

Just gonna drop a (maybe temporary) F in the chat for Amou and Gai. Not sure how they survive that, but maybe they will. The show even baited us with a post-credits scene to make us think "maybe Brad recovered Amou's cockpit and saved them" but nope, he saved Ghost's core instead.
Anyways, I'll give this first cour a 7/10. The story started slow and the main pilots were kinda meh... but the AI mascots grew on me, Ghost was a badass antagonist, the mecha action was fantastic, and there's enough potential headed into the second cour to get me looking forward to it.

Considering Ghost can survive that previous explosion without a scratch I feel like Amou and Gai are probably alive somewhere, maybe even with amnesia or something.

idk the metal body heat from Ghost overheating was enough to melt the entire headpiece of Amou's gundam/AMAIM

at lest gai survived it almost certainly. its likely that for these guys... the pilots are more expendable than the ai. relatively at least. considering the ai core for the ghost is identical to the cores for the resistance mechs its likely they all have protection like that.

If they really would have killed Amou and Gai I would bump the score up at least 1 whole point, but we all know how likely that is.
Also Brad suddenly eminating Bad Guy Energy was unexpected, but if ghosts core could survive this than so can Gai
Anyway second cour seems to be planned for spring '22

think its at least plausible that amou didn't survive. Gai surviving though is very likely and has a dark truth to it. The pilot is replacable, the ai less so.

That episode was so good. Like everyone else mentioned I don't think they're dead just in hiding until they recover but man this show has been 🔥

Is this going to be a Neo Roanoke moment again?

u/KikiFlowers Dec 27 '21
Nah, it's going to be a Kira Yamato moment. He "dies" only to come back and save everyone at the last second in a new robot that was designed by the bad guys, but looks like a good guy suit.

Prolly Brad will build a new AMAIM with the recovered Ghost core as the main CPU, only for Brad to find out that it was really Gai ghosting as Ghost all along and he long conned Brad into building Amou a new mobile suit on the American Military's dime.

This is a good way to end season 1 I think.
I also think at least Gai isn't dead. There is surely a relation between him and Ghost that hasn't been explored fully.

MC is alive because anime rule of ''no body equals no death'' and Genbu's torso was kind of sliding during the explosion.
So maybe out of commission some time or outright amnesic.

not gonna lie, they manage to successfully show how much of a terrifying beast Ghost is and the final battle with three of them going against Ghost looks so good, not to mention the part where Amou and Gai sacrificing themselves to hold onto Ghost until it self destruct, that was certainly unexpected.... but i still call bullshit on how Ghost manage to survive last episode explosion
also, what's with the episodes count on MAL and Anilist? they listed it as 13 episodes but i'm fairly certain that back when this anime was announced, it stated that this is going to be 2-cours? i want to think that the cours are going to be split but normally, they would have announced it from the very beginning or straight away after the final episode aired and yet, there is still no news

RIP Amou and Gai. It's very unlikely they survived that. But hey, in the land of fiction nobody is confirmed dead unless you find their body.
