Well at least the creativity is prominent throughout even though most of the antags are surprisingly flat.

[Benigmatica]

Damn, that GAeon is amazing to look at even though it'll be destroyed next week!

[Galaxian]

Where did the G-Self Space Backpack came from? Because last episode it didn't have one, when Enemy Faction #5 took it from the Megafauna it didn't have one, and when Bellri and Raraiya took it from them it still didn't have one! But when Bellri gets on, it magically appears on it along with the beam rifle and shield...

[Death Usagi]

So... I still don't get it or maybe I have to rewatch the episode, but why did Flaminia and Yaan call the G-IT corps again?

What a whirlpool of a cliffhanger

[Sokaku]

"If you give up, we'll give you some delicious ocean fish"

I like the overall arc of Reconguista but random things like that just make me scratch my head.

All those nice ocean fish will be drained away to space, right?

Dialogue was back to being ridiculous and nonsensical this week, but other than that the episode was pretty interesting with the fights and again the several different factions. There's now a group called the Rosario Ten and the Ten Police to add to the mix too.

Bellri and his group are trying to escape from probably the fiercest group they've faced so far. So it should still be interesting to see what will come next with this new world.

From what I observed, the Gaeon's pilot is showing ideals that was prominent in the Zeon faction of the Universal Century timeline....

I'm wondering if he's trying to go back to reviving these ancient ideals in the Reguild Century.

The Rosario Ten and Police Ten are in the same faction

The Rosario Ten is the governing group/authority that has been running everything while the Police Ten is their security/peace-keeping force

The G IT people are from the labs dealing with the old/forbidden tech, hence their advanced/unique prototype units. The G IT corps here is a faction that broke away from the Rosario Ten due to differences in ideals/how things are run




The different factions are easy to follow in this show, however the pacing and lack of sufficient coherent exposition to give us backstory/information on these factions and their pasts is making it hard for us to really connect with each one



The action in this episode's first half was extremely lackluster, with lots of comedic elements thrown in. They also raised my hopes to actually see the G-Arcane doing something cool, but in the end it ended up as a ferry for Bell to get to the G-Self, sigh


The G IT corps machines were all extremely impressive once the action and animation picked up in the second half. I have to say though, the Gaeon pilot is really not quite using his machine to its fullest potential, as seem to be the norm in this series

We won't have the Arcane's transformation ability shown in the anime because Tomino forgot.

[ReddyRedWolf]

One of these days I wish someone from the UC era gets unfrozen and tell Spacenoids they're full of shit.

The dark age being Spacenoids fault likely by colony dropping Earth too many times and going to war with each other.

Same sentiments as you are... Heck, we won't see Aida pulling off a "big damn heroes" moment!

Yeah, earthnoids started it. Then spacenoids went full on genocide.

Let me correct it for you.

Well, the way you put it is as if all Spacenoids need to be made responsible for the genocides. In that respect, the Earthnoids are not innocent too.

[DuelGundam2099]

........G-Arcane can transform? Did not know.
