Needless to say, in the case of Desil: He was already crazy and not exactly fighting in a smart manner. But even in a general sense, if you were used to having that extra-sensory ability at all times, and suddenly it didn't work on someone. I can see how you could be taken by surprise. It's not that they're bad pilots, but it would be like suddenly being blinded, and taking awhile to listening more carefully for movement, etc. |

Not that I think that such a thing matters in a show where the main character pilots a state of the art prototype MS, so I'm left to wonder if it is really that mcuh of a deal breaker to start of with.

Okay just watched it, AGE's writing has been pretty lazy and lacking focus most of the time but I guess it's time to jump the shark. What the hell was that, am I to believe that a 17 year old boy who start to pilot two years ago without any special ability can go god mode and top a veteran X-rounder who's been on the battlefield since he was a little child because his teacher got killed? The best part must be the killing blow, when Asemu claims in the most emo fashion, his title of super pilot.
SUPER PILOT!!! X-rounders are outdate. AGE-3 will see the rise of the super pilots, every grunt will be an X-rounder by then. Zeheart are you a super pilot? 'cause Asemu is coming for you. Will Obright's uninteresting love life be of any significance to the plot? In the end, the episode was good, still violent facepalm inducing. |

And I think Obright's love life is pretty interesting and fun to watch, actually (Though mainly because of Remi Ruth, who I find much more interesting than Obright himself) |

I personally have a feeling that Zeheart is going to die, but Asemu won't be the one to kill him. My reasoning is that even though Woolf died, and Asemu has gained a reason to fight, which basically comes down to protecting his comrades, deep down he still considers Zeheart a "friend" and that scene with him watching pictures on the haro of their school days kinda tells me he's not going to be trying to kill him. Now, Zeheart in the other hand has said time and again that he is willing to sacrifice his life for Vagan and taking back the Earth, so I'm afraid he's going to do something heroic or kamikaze and take out as much of the Feds as he can before dying like Gato. As for the whole letting Desil die thing, you can't compare Asemu's insubordination to what Desil has done. Desil took off on a pointless mission that jeopardized their entire operation for a stupid reason (revenge on Flit) and got some of their best pilots killed in the process. He then took off again against orders and controlled some of his own allies against their will and got them killed. Not to mention his constant insubordination and total disregard for protocol, breaking maintenance procedures, questioning his commanders all the time, etc. The guy was completely insane and I'm baffled at how such a person can be in a military (only in fiction duh). Asemu is not a psycho and his insubordination have been quite few and not that severe.

No it was pointed out that those helments the Vagans use bring out x-rounder abilities but at the same time cause brain damage.
Given how messed up Decil was and that he was fighting when he was just a little boy obviously the thing took its toll on him. So really the Vagans cannot fight a prolong war since their people will get used up quickly. Quote:
"Why were we dying for this dump?" Seriously there's gotta be a reason why we haven't seen Earth yet. Heck the majority of Earth's soldiers haven't even seen it. |

I think Asemu just move on rage and wasn't thinking at all, that's why Desil could not read him. Asemu move is like rolling a dice, even he himself does not know what exactly he will do next.
I want to see next ep where the spirit of Woolf will ask Asemu to turn off all sensors and tell him to "Use the force" I wonder if Flit is next after Woolf , I hope not, I really want to see Flit in Age 3 timeline |

Good lord. It's like people just ignore the fact that Asemu is a talented pilot for the sake of bashing the show.

1. Natural piloting ability, obviously from his father, which was reflected in his evaluation score in an earlier episode 2. He had piloted mini mobile suits since Highschool and then underwent military academy or wherever he went off too 3. Desil completely underestimated him due to him not being Flit or an X-rounder 4. It happens in ALMOST EVERY F***ing Gundam series I have seen including UC this shouldn't be a problem for any Gundam fan Heres where I totally agree with you though SUPER PILOT!!!!......really? that sounds stupid as f***, maybe its cooler in Japan cuz they said it in engrish but....yeah shoulda just stuck to something like "Ace Pilot" |

Wtf is up with Asem's tactics anyway, a frontal assault is not the answer to every situation. Desil lost because of his incompetence, Asem didn't do anything drastically different than the way he usually fights.

None of that inherently makes you a good pilot. That comes with experience and the ability to analyze your situation. Asemu has neither experience, nor level-headed thinking to analyze a situation. This reminds me of the situation where people claimed Shinn was a good pilot when downing the Freedom when all he did was follow Rey's plan and Kira was busy looking in the rear-view mirror at the Archangel the entire fight. |

Physical fitness factors into piloting ability. If you're in crap shape, then your body will limit your effectiveness in combat and likely get you killed. As for the aptitude tests themselves, IIRC some of them tested his combat capabilities to measure his abilities. Except for his aptitude as an X-Rounder, Asem passed with flying colors with only a small issue concerning his concentration.
That said, Asem underwent a year's worth of training before he was even assigned to the Diva and the Gundam AGE-2. On top of that, unlike most of his fellow trainees, he had actual piloting and combat experience--he was the combat pilot in the civilian tournaments and did remarkably well, and also fought against and defeated three Vagan MS with only rudimentary know-how on operating a fully-fledged war machine. Also by this time, Asem has had a set amount of time in a simulator where he got to practice against Zeheart in the Zeydra and Ambat-era!Flit in the Gundam AGE-1. He has also participated in several battles since then, usually going up against superior opponents like Zeheart and Desil and coming out alive, which is more than a lot of other people can say. So stop writing him off as some rookie who doesn't know what he's doing. He's not perfect but he's improved. If you're so biased against the show as to not be able to see that, then no one here can help you.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Asemu turns out to be the best pilot in-universe, at least it really feels like they've been building him up to be just that: the great pilot with nothing but pure talent. Its also why I won't be the least bit surprised if he's dead/missing for the majority of AGE-3 because he'd be a game breaker (The Vagan's mightiest double-edge sword is useless against someone in a Gundam? G.G.). Unlike X-Rounder talent isn't a hereditary detail and so his son may take after the grandfather more than the father.... especially if said father is missing.
