Well, this is a good heartwarming set-up episode like expected. More character exploration and even a little bit of technical explanation of what Kudelia will propose to the Arbrau representative on Earth. You know, instead of TITANS or A-Laws, I feel the relationship between Gjallarhorn and 4-Block is more like the relationship between OZ and the Alliance from Gundam Wing so far. Who knows, the Seven(?) Star families might be something akin to the Romefeller Foundation in Gundam Wing. But the unique thing here is that the protagonists allied themselves with a space-mafia in preparation for the upcoming war that will most likely happen once Kudelia ask for more rights for Mars to be economically more independent. All in all, it’s a pretty solid story-telling so far that doesn’t rely on battles episode after episode. When a mecha series’ non-battle episodes can be as engaging as the battle episodes, that is a sign of a good work.
Some afterthoughts:

Well finally we can resume the travel to Earth, it has been a long detour
Naze is full of flags, most likely will bit it soon. Same goes with Fumitan. The woman they met in bar is most likely "the one with underground connections" McGilis spoke of Brewers next episode, finally some fight!

Hopefully Eugene and Norba didn't get STDs from their little adventure.
I do believe Amida was talking in euphemism about the meat Atra. Amida may be right you'd make a great wife but she is also right it depends on the chosen husband. While Orga may have found a crush on an older woman I can't help but think he'll end up with Kudelia. As Orga and Kudelia are effectively father and mother of Tekkadan. We get exposition that if Mars becomes economically independent there would be war from various factions with the status quo change. Most likely Gjallarhorn who we learn is the only one who produces Ahab reactors these days. |

While I wouldn't mind Orga x Kudelia at all. They still has as much as one meaningful interaction and that was fanboying over Mika. Well, that can change, but still...
In other hand I really wonder about this new woman and what kind of dynamic she will have with our leader. Great episode overall, I love it. (Oh and Aki is bigger beast than Naze)

Yup, not much to say here, it was fun seeing Orga drunk and the rest letting out some steam, they needed it Mika as always....but we did see a softer side of him again here, and its funny how everyone else he wears looks so much better than his standard attire Cant wait to see the "new" Barbatos in action, the opening now matches up with the Barbatos thats been prominently featured, so we'll get to see the white shoulder armor and its katana Seeing Orga all drunk and still going on about family was touching, and him nearly puking on one of the kids was unexpectedly funny too lol Fumitan death flag???? Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu And yeah....something is definitely going on in that hangar scene between those two guys/kids...... (aside from the old mechanic going on and on about Barbatos) |

Has there ever been any succinct yaoi relationship in a flagship gundam title? Cause that's the only thing I can think of right now between those two.

Second, even if those are true, two of them (Guin & Angelo) are only one-sided. As for Ribbons, given it's true that he slept with Alejandro, he's an Innovedo, and sex and gender mean nothing to them, so they can go either way .

I can't trust someone trying to pressure Kudelia into an immediate, no time to ask her friends decision. Even if I didn't understand what it was about.
Also, she's going to be devastated when she learns of Fumitan's betrayal. Whatever form that betrayal turns out to be. |

Well, it's obvious he want profit and doesn't mind take advantage over Kudelias youth. Trully nice person wouldn't be able lead large criminal organisation. That said MacMurdos pressuring her never stepped into area of extortion and not just he didn't care about Mika stepping in and lessen his advantage over Kudelia, but he even shown great amount of fondness for him instead. He seems to be as trustworthy as Yakuza/Mafia don can be.

LOL, Mika wants to write in kanji more than in Latin alphabet. Good luck with that, young samurai.
Cheers for Orga's first drinking (and vomiting) session. You're officially an adult. Wait did those guys really do prostitute hunting? Damn, that sakazuki ritual. It really gives yakuza vibes. And who exactly is Gjallarhorn spy, Fumitan or that blode girl. My bet is the former. I mean, going back to Episode 1, how the heck did Gjallarhorn find out that Kudelia went to CGS' turf if it was supposed to be a secret?

ANOTHER talk episode? And for what, some alliance that required dressing up? A drunk scene? Pointless poetry crap "I have not killed anyone but the bluud of muh Tekkadan is on meh". Another instance of an episode that could be compacted into a few minutes. I remember being a kid, I sure as hell wouldn't keep watching something this tedious, if the audience takes a nose dive I wouldn't be remotely surprised. Even Age and Turn A knew when to shut the hell up and do something and the next episode looks like more of the same.
