    Small correction, El5n was piloting the Lfrith Ur and not the Pharact. Sick mind went directly to the Pharact since I figured they were holding it too. This also explains how he took control of the Gundvolvas after Thorn got shot down. I also wonder how they got it, since they said it self destructed.

    Guel gets another W but like the last one, there's strings attached what with Lauda finding out he committed patricide before.
    Also apparently petra might not be dead? according to a jp talk show about wfm petra's still alive, only with her lower body missing. People have been theorizing that she'll be back with the prosthetic legs from Miorine's company so that the Earth house can bounce back into positive rep.

      Was kinda inevitable.

Dodging even a few of the Pharact's jamming bits as long as he did, and doing well as he did with a non-compliant AI in his 2nd Duel with Suletta were both extreme feats.
      Guel was going to wreck someone's shit when finally put onto a fairly even battlefield with no emotional baggage, and he won even WITH a handicap. About damn time, anyone who was paying attention to details knew Guel was due the biggest combat W of his life.

    A few interesting things to note, 1: Rouji's interrogation of Martin at the start was a Code Geass reference. The main writer for With from Mercury was also the main writer for that show. 2: The Dominicus pilots, Kenanji and his men are surprisingly competent. I expected Kenanji to be, he's a named ace. And quickly becoming a jolly Yazan, guy has now three gundam kills. I didn't expect his men to be. Its a common trope that mook pilots exist to explode. But they outclassed the over confident students. This is a consistent theme in WFM that the adults are actually adults who mostly know what they are doing and the kids are reckless and overconfident. Prospera easy outmaneuvers Mio. Guel has his sheltered privileged life thrown in his face. Shaddiq's keikakus are stupid. 3: I'm disappointed how Suletta has been handled these last few EPs. The season is almost over and her crisis arc has gone on for four episodes. That's just too long. This was a good opportunity to get her in the cockpit and get her mojo back but they missed it. Now they have to rush to throw her in a gundam at the last minute. I'm worried the finale will be a big mess like Wing. I hope I'm wrong.

    • @RevoSKL

      I really like Okouchi's works, he rarely misses. Kenanji and his guys felt a bit disappointing since they were going against literal students, I feel like they should've cleaned up a bit better. To be fair though, I will give credit to Grassley House and say going against Dominicus shows their competency. I do feel like most of the students who are involved with the scheming side of things are in a bit over their heads, but are managing.
      I think there will definitely be another 24ish episodes going into this show. There just isn't enough to cram into the next few episodes for a finale unless it's going to segway into more. I doubt Okouchi would botch a mainline Gundam horribly.

    Honestly, I think there's a decent chance that another 25 episodes might be in production, though it wouldn't surprise me if it really was only four or five episodes left. Things are building towards the finale now, and unless Prospera continues being the antagonist for the future seasons, I have to wonder how they could continue this. The only way I could see this happen is if Prospera succeeds with Quiet Zero and just as it activates, it ends on a cliffhanger. That way we could see just what Quiet Zero will actually do in the long term and how it will actually change life on Earth and in Space, whether good or bad. So depending how this ends, we won't know if another season is coming or not. IBO did have 50 episodes, so maybe G-Witch will also get the same treatment.
    Regardless, this episode was pretty good. My biggest takeaway now is that the running for the president of the Benerit Group is essentially over. Shaddiq has been caught and Miorine has lost much credibility due to the incident on Earth, and the only viable successor to the president's seat has now returned. That was Shaddiq's whole reason for kidnapping him, so Sarius wouldn't become the president. Sarius Zenelli will most likely become president and while I'm not sure what he'll do, he might try to stabilize the group now, considering how much of a mess things have become.
    At this point, I'm not sure what might happen next. I predicted that maybe the final battle will happen in Space but with this episode not showing what Prospera is doing, it's difficult to tell if it really will be in space or not. That "crucial component" for Quiet Zero might be a decoy or even if it is real and gets destroyed, Prospera might have a backup plan. I'm thinking it could be Suletta but Prospera was willing to let her go and not interfere in her life anymore, so who knows. I did say once that her need for revenge and the completion of Quiet Zero might outweigh her love for her younger daughter but it could go either way now, depending if Suletta will still be important for Quiet Zero or not.

    • @RevoSKL
      @RevoSKL  Рік тому

      Pretty much all mainline Gundam series have been about 50 episodes, so I don't see why they wouldn't make this one also. And I don't believe they made it clear whether it will be 25ish episodes or not. I hope some catastrophic event happens with Quiet Zero that pushes us into a time skip for another 25ish episode season.
      I think they will still go on with the election since they never stated they wanted to default to Sarius when they began, even though he was kidnapped at the time. Shaddiq having him kidnapped just allowed him to gun for it in his place. Another detail though was Sarius being involved with the whole assassinating Delling thing. If they find that out during the many interrogations they'll be doing, he may be out.
      Earth and the space around will probably be the final war spot, since either Spacians or Earthians are about to retaliate. I also think Quiet Zero may involve Earth somehow with large planet covering data storm, just a hunch. They could go anywhere at this point though and I'm excited to see in the coming episodes

    • @5vio
      @5vio Рік тому +1

      @@RevoSKL You raise a good point about Sarius, as I had forgotten he was involved in that plot too. Personally, I think there's a good chance there will be no suspicion on him for the assassination attempt, as he was technically kidnapped by the one that got Dawn of Fold to almost kill Delling, so Shaddiq might just be blamed for all of it. So assuming Sarius either confesses or he simply just does not want to run for the seat, which he might not now that I'm thinking on it.
      The only other one that could potentially go for the seat now is the original Elan, who has done basically nothing the entire series and even if he's somehow nominated for the position instead of Sarius, once the doppelganger thing is exposed, he'll be thrown out too. There is also always the chance Delling will wake up and take the position again, so the entire thing really is up in the air now.
      At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the next potential half of the series will take place mostly on Earth, as most of this half has taken place in space. That way, we'd see more of Earth and how the people are faring there. If you remember, we saw ChuChu talk to what looked like her family or friends pretty early on, so those might be future characters.
      Also, I just got the Gunpla of the Aerial and I'll be attempting the build, hopefully it goes well. I watched a video on the build and it was a bit more complicated than I thought but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Official Gunpla are really high quality and intuitive, after all.

    • @RevoSKL
      @RevoSKL  Рік тому

      Yeah that was back in the 1st cour, I had forgotten about it too. If Shaddiq doesn't throw him under the bus he'll probably get away with it. Or yeah, he may confess or forfeit his run.
      Peil CEO's didn't seem too keen on Elan 0 running, but all this chaos may spur him on. We'll also have to see what happens with Elan 5, as he may spill the beans on a lot of stuff if they try to send him back to Peil as he'll probably just suffer the same fate as Elan 4 if they do get a hold of him. I've been anticipating Delling waking up forever now, maybe he will in the next few episodes.
      I think Earth and the surrounding space will be a big battleground coming up. They're both at each other's throats, so it makes sense. I feel like Benerit will retaliate pretty hard for the school/space fight.
      Very nice with the Aerial, the instructions are pretty straight forward. I've never had to look up any build guides or anything with any of my builds, the manuals are generally really good. I've only built the head and chest so far, and it's been pretty solid. Just be careful with the really small parts, I've had to search for them on carpet and it isn't pretty lol

    We've been given a lot to contemplate. The number of Gundams is reduced to three at best, two more likely. Aerial is on Earth. Pharact is a question mark; I am under the impression that it was at Earth House (which was destroyed). Thorn and Ur have been destroyed or captured. That leaves the new Gundam at Jeturk, the ominously named Schwartzette.
    Elan 5 was either captured or bailed from Ur, seeing as how it was captured at the end.
    Norea was more dangerous than Sophie. Sophie had hopes for the future. Norea did not.
    Shaddiq won this one. The question is how will Prospera see this? The threat to Quiet Zero that the League represents means that she has to escalate. It seems like there is now a race to get Quiet Zero integrated with Aerial.

      Good point on taking stock of the amount of Gundams there are now, I don't remember where the Pharact (I was calling the Lfrith Ur the Pharact in the video, my bad) is, the Thorn's cockpit was sniped this episode, so not completely destroyed, and Ur was taken in by Benerit fully intact. Prospera has the Aerial, and the Schwarzette is with Jeturk. Prospera destroyed many of the Gundam Lfrith Pre-Production suits Ochs Earth was mass producing in that facility at Quenharbor, but we're unsure if that's all of them or if there are more facilities out there.

      Really interested in seeing where the whole election goes now. Shaddiq should be out, and Sarius could potentially take his place unless it gets out he was also involved with assassinating Delling, which Shaddiq may just throw him under the bus for, or he may keep quiet about it. Either way, if Elan 0 had the right call about Mio getting a ton of support from the attack in Quenharbor, and Earthians are totally blamed for the attack on the school (again) and in space, Mio should crush the election easily regardless of how she feels about it.
      Also interested in seeing how Prospera/Eri take the school attack. While Suletta was in serious danger, nothing actually happened to her, such as losing a limb or going into a coma or something. They might just brush it off since she's fine and continue on.

    Can we all agree that, knowing everything so far about the story, the Witch Hunters are literally the most obnoxious group to ever exist right now? Something tells me they’re gonna get in the way of our heroes a lot, and the group was created for all the wrong reason. They’re just puppet thinking they’re on the course of heroism by taking out the Gundam, not even realizing that these pilots were either simple engineers, medical, or child soldiers that piloted it because of Spacians unethical activities. Sure, they saved the school, but remember that Elan 5 already talked Norea down. They didn’t care if the attack stop, even though it was so obvious from those outside the context that the attacker is likely giving up thanks to the communication happening between the two pilots. No, they were trained to kill Gundam and Gundam pilots at the very first chance they get.
    Just imagine if Kenanji and Suletta, Eri, or Prospera meet each other, and somehow…SOMEHOW…find out that he was the one that killed their father and her husband?
