I'm most excited to see the two human factions duking it out in this episode. Can't wait to see how those Zaku MS do in battle.

Plus, the Baqto is making its debut!

I was disappointed in the last episode so I hope this one cane make up for it.

This one looks like it'll have more action than usual. From the factions at Fardain fighting, to the arrival of the UE.

What the...the episode has already started, but it's not time yet, is it?

The episodes usually start at 1am my time...what gives?

Will GundamInfo be uploading this episode as well?

We'll find it out in more than an hour from now. I'm hopeful that they will

For episodes 4 and 5, I'm the one who posted the link here first. I was actually surprised that they got episode 5 up since someone said that GundmInfo will only sub until episode 4.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Man, judging from the screencaps, this episode looked pretty damn good. The Zaku MS look fantastic, I love their guns, and the Baqto, looks far meaner than the Zedas. Can't wait to see the episode. It also looks like Woolf sneaks off with and contracts someone to make the G-Exes, just by going from the screen caps that is.

Some screen caps I thought were neat.

Well, they did say they would upload episodes for a month, and I guess uploading episode 5's a stretch. We'll see, but I do hope they upload.

Gundam Age Episode 6 Korean UP! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL1yx...&feature=feedu

Gundam Age Episode 6 English UP! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru06E...&feature=feedu

Spoiler for My thoughts:

LOL @Desperado using heat shovel and heat pickaxe. I was like, "what's he gonna do this those, then suddenly, it became a heated weapon.

This episode pretty much confirms about G-Exes pilot. It's no other than Woolf. Maybe not at first and will be delivered by someone else but it's clear to me that it'll be his.

Flit using his Gundam inside a colony spells trouble for him in the future.

Episode shows more of Grodek's past, but that's not that hard to figure, really. He's willing to negotiate even with non-trustworthy people. He seems that desperate for revenge.

Seems like Age isn't a season for "sortie without notice". they always go out leisurely. Seems fun IMO, LOL!

Baqto suddenly appearing is a WINNER! It looks badass when it landed beside the Gundam. It's actually strong enough to deflect a beam from DODS rifle.

[bio9205]

Interesting. Could the Baqto have been specially developed by the UE to be resistant against the AGE-1's Dods Rifle? And yay for the Titus finally making its appearance next episode.

[casval cehack]

6/10. Make way for Desperado's Spade (and Pick) of Power.

With Captain Grodek (and soon to be Commodore) buying four ships to assault the UE fortress and Woolf's acquisition of the G-EXES (upgraded Genoace Custom?), the fleets and MS armies of old that were locked into the EZ7 folder by the Silver Chalice Treaty can now be rebuilt. Baqto's debut was impressive, but the animation was noticeably unpolished in some parts. Looks like Largan's double armored Genoace will get tested next episode.

Funniest scene would be when one of the "melef" was decapitated by a shield deflected bullet fired from their own rifle.

[maknaedik]

The appearance of Baqto is very fishy. How the hell would those puny Zaku like MS know that the Baqto will appear and disappear. Its appearance is very convenient for them.

[KaiDamien]

The MS from the 2 factions looked like human in suits rather then MS. If Grodek do get the 4 warships i wonder who will be the commanders of the warships, Diva clearly are lacking people in that department.

Maybe a hint that there are actual UE units garrisoned in Fardain. The Diva didn't even detect the Baqto (well, the crew were not on their posts) but the Zalam and Euba MS appears to have a schedule when and where to fight, without UE interruption.

[bio9205]

G-Exes seems to be more of an upgrade of the Shalldol, not the Genoace Custom.

[Sides]

Awesome, beam deflector. DOTS rifle now kind of useless against new UE suits.
Now we know where the Shalldol and G-Exes are coming from. Woolf must be loaded, I doubt the defense force is going to pay for his toys.
Grodek magical transformation was A+, he manage to swap his hat at the same time as he threw away his coat.
AGE-1 titus is obviously design for combat inside sensitive areas, where range weapons are not desirable.

1. AGE weapons are ineffective against UE mobile suits.
2. AGE Builder creates new weapons.
3. UE brings out new mobile suits.
4. Repeat step 1 for 100 years, 3 generations, and 50 episodes?

Clearly, Grodek is man of many talents.

With Woolf ordering a new white custom unit just like that, he must be some preferred client of the Mardonner Workshop. Or even a bigshot member of this faction, one with its own small colony and custom designed suits that are probably better than the Zakus of Euba and Zalam.

[aeriolewinters]

is it me or the Zalab emblem awfully reminds me of ZAFT.
