Episode 43 - Ver. 9.0
Soon Iok the great will get his grounded sentence revoked so he can go back out there.
>>15211021
Is there any reason NOT to like Gaelio?

rip
>>15211030
He's still siding with Rustal and doing his dirty work.
>>15211027
>>15211052
>Rustal
>Bad
>>15211027
Will he take someone important down before he dies?
I'm curious on what happened to his family which lead to him becoming the current head.
>>15211040
>it
>>15211030
>waits 17 episodes to get revenge for no good reason
I usually don't care about revenge to begin with but if you're going to do it, do it fast, or have a good reason for doing it slow. Tekkadan at least gets the job done in two episodes max when they have a revenge to execute.
>>15211059
Go to bed Iok, you're grounded.
>>15211071
>didn't see next episode's teaser
He's back with a vengance.
>>15211075
Nothing about the image speaks for this.
>>15211040
>When criticized or countered, they become aggressive and started attacking the people with shitposts and buzzwords
I've been frequently posting in these threads since Sunday, i have zero investment in any character (i'm just here for the Gundam designs at this point) and this has literally never happened yet.
In fact if anything it's the Gaelio haters who have seemed to be by far the most shitposty of posters this week. The hate they have for him all of a sudden is fucking intense to the point of nonsense when they knew this moment was coming for about four months.
>>15211086
>not feeling it in your heart
Really hoping we get to at least see this fight happen.
>>15211040
He had a chance to stop this mess and protect his family, but he "couldn't" understand the shady motivations of his old crush, even after Macky pretty much told him everything in a very well organized monologue.
Poor Rustal, seriously. His whole faction is pure crap.
Is there any reason NOT to like Iok?
Actually, it's okay if you don't like Iok, great men can't win every heart.
>>15211177
It'll not happen.
>>15211195
It will. Vidar and Mika have no reason to fight anymore, thematically that is. And Gaelio has publically announced he'll duel McGillis. Final confrontations are going to be between Mika and Julietta (who will 100% get a surgery of some sort) and Gealio & McGillis.
Gealio, if emerges victorious will be a broken man in accordance to the "revenge is empty" theme.
I also don't expect both parties will win both matches. It's either McGillis wins but Mika loses or McGillis loses but Mika wins. I don't expect both Gaelio and Julietta to win/lose.

Where have I seen that before?
>>15211194
He just wants to do what he thinks is right! He is a good boy
44 The man who obtained a soul
The Arianrhod fleet led by Rustal Elion is massing their entire force to counter the coup d'etat.
45 If this is the end
After some twists and turns, Orga and Tekkadan also face Arianrhod in battle, but...
>>15211235
You don't need to do this as long as there's no actual gaeliofagging in the thread. Please stop.
>>15211242
BUT WHAT?
>it's bad to protect a terrible status quo
>every single Gundam protag was secretly the bad guy!
>Char was right all along!
Zeekfags everyone, scum of the Earth.
>>15211237
Iok is too pure
>>15211235
Hey look, the AZ spamming faggot is back.
>>15211242
Leave Tekkadan to me.
>>15211246
eugene or akihiro a kill
also along w a bunch of minor tekkadan dudes
>>15211253
You're trying too hard
>>15211246
Choco betrays them. Everyone dies. And being a pedo is completely fine in the new regime.
What a time to be alive.
>>15211246
they get rekt
>>15211256
>eugene or akihiro a kill
Akihiro might die for drama
Eugene? That's too bad, he nearly done jackshit lately, so unless they pull an Amida on him, nobody would bat an eyelash if he bites it.
>>15211260
>Choco betrays them.
But he promised...
>>15211261
Phrasing makes it sound more like the battle itself gets interrupted.
>>15211271
Maybe another MA shows up to job.
>>15211265
They will pull an Amida on him, it's pretty obvious. Plus, he's the Tekkadan member most likely to try to go out in a blaze of glory, as all he ever wanted in life was for them to rely on him and so on and to help Orga out.
He gets promoted three months in a row in both newtype and animage, and aside from Mcgillis, Kudelia, Orga and Mika, he's the only main cast member who has yet to voice a preview. Incredibly obvious.
>>15211271
Vidar gets a strong diarrhea, Rustal needs to call it off.
>>15211253
MUH AZ samefag boogeyman
Atra and Kudelia are so cute
>>15211271
Rustal is summoning Iok, and where Rustal needs shit done and iok is there, julietta is going to be there too. The Aryanhood battle will have some pretty weird wildcards in it if that's the case, especially if Iok uses the dan's leaf again. If it's to squash a coup, what is really off the table?
>>15211274
Space-type MA?
>>15211260
That's for later.
>>15211294
Just slap a rocket on the Pluma. It's not like they need to breathe or anything.
>>15211194
>Iok
Guts will kill him.
>>15211280
yeah, this is what i'm thinking. the "bloody, tearful" development is going to be a lot of tekkadan will be wiped out, so i'm guessing others will die like chad/dante/that brewers kid maybe, plus other random tekkadan members and crew. eugene will pull some bro/hero move to turn the tide and save what's left remaining. then it's early enough for orga and mika to still live on until the end, for orga to pilot the unicorn shiden/king's throne, and for one or both to die at the very end.
>>15211301
guts didn't even kill jasley, there's no way he'll get to kill iok
>>15211215
Gaelio apologizing didn't meant nothing. Mika will side with him to beat Macky screencap this
>>15211285
So, are you telling me that Vidar has this advanced Allah Vagina system, but somehow doesn't have a fucking toilet in the cockpit?
Who designed this mess?
>>15211265
he got high on the character poll recently and people mustered up shits to give about amida and even takaki/aston drama, they will care about this if it happens.
>>15211242
this weeks episode is 44 right?
>>15211304
will poor akihiro ever get anything other than dead friends and families?
seriously, at least let him score some for the team.
>>15211318
Yep
>>15211312
Not Tomino thats for sure
>>15211317
nope, he's gotta live to inherit tekkadan once orga bites it. i'll be genuinely surprised if they kill him, let alone wipe out a bunch of tekkadan.
>>15211215
Lol you haven't watched this show much then. Even if juli gets an upgrade she'll still job to Mika. Gali and Macky? Ehhh idk about that one. There's some suspense to that situation.
Leave ships battle to us!
>>15211235
Okada can have imagination but lack creativity and innovation.
This is a really serious problem that affects most Japanese authors
>>15211349
the way they pose looks like something out of a random battle in eo/smt
>>15211271
Vidar was heading for the moon
We know from season 1 that the moon was heavily damaged
Maybe there's something on/in the moon
>>15211349
>all of them are non-AV stationary grazes
All it takes is a few Angry Vagina teenages nimble enough to avoid the shots while taking them out one by one.
>>15211057
I WILL FIGHT YOU
>>15211100
that's a nice sketch
>>15211030
You mean aside from the fact that he was a glorified loading screen for more than half the season?
>>15211349
>>15211358
>Dainsleif Graze stares intensely...
>>Surrender
>>Stare back
>>15211242
>45 If this is the end
>After some twists and turns, Orga and Tekkadan also face Arianrhod in battle, but...
WHY LEAVE US IN SUSPENSE
>>15211361
>Maybe there's something on/in the moon
A Gundam? MA?
Astaroth was found in a crater there after all.
we need more Olga
Why did McGillis feel the need to show his nude torso to the entire galaxy when he made his speech?
>>15211361
>Maybe there's something on/in the moon
It's Arianrhod's mother base anon.
>>15211302
>people die in battle
>NO ONE COULD SEE IT COMING
No, I definitely think it's the Almiria wrist slitting or something equally out of the blue.
>>15211402
He worked for it and he will damned show it.
>>15211402
Well, he was raped as a kid and had a crush for Agnika, than was a hot-blooded shonen heroe, so Choco-ho tries to imitate him imitating tipical tekkaden stuff, and ìloting while flaunting his MANLY MAN-PECS is a way to reafirm his masculinity or something.
>>15211403
she didn't slit her wrists and that wouldn't be a bloody and tearful development. it's supposed to be on a grander scale with the way it was phrased originally, not a little girl slitting her wrists. it was also mentioned in comparison to the recent stuff, so it's on a larger scale than the turbines bullshit
>>15211353
>Okada can have imagination but lack creativity and innovation.
This is truth
>>15211402
cutting holes for AV in clothes is a waste
>>15211402
He was channeling Ulube.
>>15211403
DOEs anyone see it coming though? all /m/ is ever full of are people shouting that tekkadan face no consequences and that barely any of their characters die and the stakes never feel high because of mika, which is true. this is why i don't even think they'll do it.
>>15211402
As suggested by >>15211408, there's a good chance McGillis might actually have a bit of a hero worship thing towards Tekkadan for representing that childhood acquisition of power that he himself sought when abused as a youth.
We're going to find out that McGillis's endgame is going to be a really fucked up interpretation of the recurring Gundam theme of "THE FUTURE SHOULD BE ENTRUSTED TO THE NEXT GENERATION," by having him essentially promote warlord states ruled by children. Like, it's probably going to be some twisted Big Boss tier notion of EVERYONE A SOLDIER, EVERYWHERE A BATTLE.
Leave holding sword to me
Why isn't it written as "Alaya-Shiki"?
>>15211410
>it's supposed to be on a grander scale with the way it was phrased originally
You're making stuff up anon, his wording was pretty simple and general. And what makes you think Nobunaga wasn't simply exaggerating? He also said Shino and Yamagi were the most romantic aspect of the show.
Will Kudelia confront Mcgillis?
>>15211425
Because iok will be responsible for it yet again. Also, Shino and Yamagi were the best couple of the show/"true love", not most romantic aspect. And they are since every other couple is shit tier. You'll feel retarded when you're proven wrong, anon.
>>15211423
Or why is it pronounced as such rather than Alaya-Vijnana?
>>15211237
>IOK IS A GOOD BOI
>HE DINDU NUFFIN!!!!
I see what you did there.
>>15211422
Shut up, jobber.
>>15211321
>mfw Iok kills him
>>15211416
Japan is not /m/. As far as they're concerned the series keeps hitting them where it hurts by systematically killing off anything people have cared about on any level. It matters less that not that many characters have died, they are going to be scared regardless.
>>15211437
Iok finally dies!!!
>>15211235
Shinn Asuka?
>>15211321
Reminder that Rebake never lose a single fight since S1.
Also it stopped being relevant after raping Galan Mossa.
>>15211473
>Reminder that Rebake never lose a single fight since S1.
It's fought Galan Mossa, and after that only mooks. Not surprising.
>>15211253
my goodness that is a wonderful looking still.
>>15211450
Iok is Immortal. Unless his death could cause a great disaster like killing the sun.
>>15211421
but that would be interesting writing.
>>15211494
What's the most catastrophic thing Iok can do for the next few episodes?
>>15211506
>Get in a Gundam
>Kill a Gundam Pilot
>Get Vidar, Julietta or Rustal killed
>Awaken a Space MA
>Destroy a Colony
>Colony Drop
>Geneva Convention breaking weaponry
>All of the Above
>>15211506
kill Mika
>>15211513
Ah, so Iok accidentally did Australia then?
>>15211473
Akihiro is shit anyway, who cares?
>>15211521
>Europe in the African Union
Always cracks me up
>>15211100
>and this has literally never happened yet.
Wow, they believe their own bullshit.
>>15211521
His ancestor did.
Kiwis and shitposters then love Kujan for saving them despite the cost of lives.
>>15211040
>Massive gains in a short time
It is like you didn't watch S1 when you can see Gaelio already have gains when you see him injured
>>15211515
>Implying Mika wouldn't ending killing himself (or at least crippled enough that he might as well be dead) when he decides to have Barbartos to overclock itself again
>>15211587
Nah, he'll just accidentally upload himself into Barbie when he overclock again.Then he'll use his new body for farming in Mars
>>15211587
You know some guy noted that all MS had those boxes in their cockpit.
Would be suprised if that is brought up before Mika goes full gundam or that concept is used by both sides.
Like Trans-am
>>15211593
Would be an interesting thing.
>>15211587
>>15211593
Would that be before or after he kills Orga, if it comes to that?
Mika will kill Gaelio and McGillis, dying in the process. If you believe otherwise, you're retarded.
>>15211059
As much as I hate the faggot, I have a feeling Iok is going to live. He's too stupid. It's like beating up a retarded child.
The reason it was okay to kill Carta was because she wasn't stupid as much as she was devoted to protocol. If anything, Carta was the kind of person Gjallarhorn needed more of. Sure, she was arrogant, but she had a sense of honor and chivalry. It was just that she was in an era where things like honor and chivalry had become meaningless and the only way to get anything done was through backstabbing, subterfuge and being a sociopath
>>15211587
>Gaelio already have gains when you see him injured
Which?
>>15211410
They have to kill Almiria before McGillis consummates with her because "muh lolicon propaganda"
It's the same reason that although McGillis was queen of the shotacon brothel, Atra apparently never got fucked by some pervy old Martian dude
>>15211194
I want at least him to live.
>>15211624
no one wanted Atra
>>15211624
Almiria must survive and remain pure for his brother.
>>15211593
Near the beginning Episode 6 of S1 when Mcgillis and Gaelio were discussing about Gundams, you can Gaelio being ripped already.Not sure if MUH REVENGE makes him made even more gains though
>>15211633
but why?
>>15211648
because she's a shit. A SHIT!
>>15211653
Don't bully Atra!
>>15211648
Probably would have been seen as the equivalent of screwing a midget, given her growth problems.
Why is Kuelia so HOT?
Just how high is Iok's magical charisma?
>>15211689
>Why is Kuelia so HOT?
A dead fish is hotter than Sugoi-hime-sama.
>>15211696
>EX+++
Even Julieta loves him
>>15211194
He is a fucking retard, doe?
>>15211696
He maxed it out and then spent all his ability slots on charisma boosting traits too.
>>15211642
> Almiria must survive and remain pure for his >brother.
Ah so we've gone from :
Iron Blooded Orphans : A child's rape rhapsody
to
Iron Blooded Orphans : Family incest galore
>>15211726
Well, True Tears had incest
>>15211696
He speced his SPECIAL in charisma and luck and opted for the Brown noser , Magnetic personality and Ferocious Loyalty perks
>>15211696
Why does his charisma doesn't work on Rustal?
>>15211713
ugh she makes me feel some way i love it hard
>>15211587
>Not realising that his injuries are "The Gains"
chicks love scars
>>15211740
Rustal has the Oblivious perk; it makes him immune to all charisma based techniques.Harem series about a young Rustal in Gjallarhorn academy when?
PLEASE! SOMEONE PLEASE!!
TELL ME WHY THEY KEEP SHOWING MIZAKUKI EATING THOSE CHOCOLATES THAT MCGILLIS GAVE HIM
>>15211726
Literally the purest form of love.
>>15211758
Easy.
Mika loves his shit :^)
>>15211758
Makcy is offering Mika a tiny semblamce of a normal childhood, something neither of them ever had.
>>15211587
Imaginary gains
>>15211758
Because Macky will offer Mika his own chocolate factory in exchange for betraying Orga.
>>15211696
Its not, he's just the face of a very prominent and well liked noble house. Iok could have been replaced with any schmuck and the soldiers under his houses banner would probably be just as fervent in their loyalty.
>>15211242
>but...
Betting on Tekkadan realigning themselves with Arianrhod. Their morals line up much more with Rustal's group, whilst McGillis is emphatically the opposite.
>44. The Arianrhod Fleet, led by Rustal Elion, gather their forces to deal with the coup d'etat.
>45. After many complications, Orga and Tekkadan have to face the decision to take on Arianrhod Fleet.
>>15211327
Ride/Azee is some top-tier stuff.
>>15211593
>Spoiler
Reminds me of Parody on Titan.
Eren gets dismissed from the army, decides to become a farmer to support the war effort instead.

>>15211854

>Said dude sacrificed half of his body for a power boost
No fucking shit before Type-E he was struggling.
>>15211851
>>15211854
Gaelio is a loser with random asspull powerups + massive gains in a short time
>>15211892
He spent 17 episodes making gains.
>>15211830
Oh my god is that like two episodes of no fighting
>>15211919
What do you think would compel Tekkadan to fight Rustal if not for the fact that a threat and some fighting occurred? McGillis' comrades are going to get recked by him.
>>15211307
Stupid sexy Gali
>>15211682
Yeah it mostly falls to what was those places purpose, McGillis was in a pedo fuck hole, while Atra was in a normal whore house, the people that went there weren’t after small midgets they wanted fully developed women so Atra was “safe” there
>>15211919
HAHAHA YOU THINK YOU'LL GET FIGHTING BAKA GAIJIN ONLY SUPERIOR TALKY TALKY FOR INTELLIGENT NIPPON TO UNDERSTAND
Ywn get to see Hush man the fuck up and give Mika a run for his money, because having danger for the protagonist is for chumps.
>>15212038
Orga is going to be Mika's final boss
>>15212038
>Hush doing anything of worth
I know he has fans here, but oh god it's best to come to terms with it now before the show ends. He's a giant waste of time.
>>15212051
Man I miss Lupus.
>>15212038
Nah, he'll just get killed off unceremoniously like a mook in the final battle.
>>15212060
Nah, they'll just make it look like they killed him and at the end he'll pop up right as rain.
>>15211894
>He spent 17 episodes making gains.
he was conversing with Julietta 90% of the time. he only got “2 minutes of mech action” in 16 episodes.
>>15211892
>Gaelio is a loser with random asspull powerups + massive gains in a short time
You forgot to add he is a coward.
>>15211829
How so?
>>15211894
I wish Hashmal included him, maybe he uses type-E to save Julietta but then midway through Mika steals the rest of the fight.
Something to give him more importance before unmask.
>>15211892
This is a show where the ultimate piloting skill comes from a surgery. Literally just a surgery. Every single "top pilot" is therefore there because of asspull power ups, except Amida and Lafter.
>>15211892
>random asspull powerups
IBO detractors are getting really desperate aren't they.
Why are you fags even on /m/.
>>15212109
What about McGillis before Bael?
Dude was skilled with that special Graze.
>>15212122
True.
But the point is that nearly all the top faggots in this show are top tier because they have the allahuvagina and not because they trained hard or have talent. Look at Ein, he was the most average guy and then he got the same triple AV as Mika and he was tearing everybody's asshole and dancing around like a big robot Muhammad Ali.
>>15212103
>How so?
Gaelio explains that he values "Respectable Feelings" such as love, friendship and trust. This morality led to him aligning himself with Rustal. We see Rustal's group frequently displaying such feelings, with deep trust and admiration clear in many of the relationships present among them. They, like Tekkadan, seem to function more like a family. This is in contrast to McGillis, whom Gaelio calls out as finding such sentiments utterly meaningless.
While circumstances have put Tekkadan in McGillis' corner, frequently opposed by Rustal's faction, it's pretty clear that they have much more in common than they do with McGillis.
>>15212097
Gaelio is a giant waste of time. Too much drama and blah blah blah literally kills the mecha action.
People forget that Gaelio was evenly matched with Mika in their final battle of S1 before McGillis jumped in, and before Mika donated his bodily functions to Barbatos.
He's not a bad pilot.
It's shouldn't be a surprise that him+AV System would be an incredibly formidable foe.
>>15212130
>>15212148
Ein was a pretty damn good pilot too even before being turned into an AV Graze.
After Gaelio upgraded to the Kimaris and gave his old suit to him, he was able to go up against Shino in his AV-equipped Ryusei-Go II and kick his shit in.
>>15212148
I find it pretty sad that people forgot all about S1 just because it was pretty garbage in comparison to most of S2 so far
>>15212111
You're trying too hard
>>15212165
People give Ein a lot of shit, but he obliterated everyone he fights in Edmonton except Mika, but nothing can really take on him so what’s the surprise with Ein defeat?
>>15212206
Because when Ein failed to kill a single named character it made him look really fucking pathetic. Like it was all for nothing.
>>15212135
Wait what? I get that Julieta and Rustal/Galan are close, but that's pretty much it. Iok and Gaelio are there but neither of them have really acted like family to anyone in gjallarhorn.
Those are basic emotional connections and feelings. They bear almost no relevance where a political conflict is at hand.
>>15212216
>but that's pretty much it.
They are the focus of the group. There's also Iok's devotion to Rustal, coming across rather like a son desperate for his father's approval, though he keeps fucking up his attempts at proving himself. To say nothing of the downright fanatical devotion of Iok's men to him.
>Those are basic emotional connections and feelings. They bear almost no relevance where a political conflict is at hand.
Yeah. Because Tekkadan has always been super-concerned about maintaining their political clout over acting on their raw feelings and emotions.
>>15212212
Ein didn't even get killed himself, literally no named characters died in that battle.
>>15212206
Ein was unfit for combat. Not only was he so sloppy that he didn't confirm his opponents were dead, he entered a non-combatant zone, attacked civilians and monologued like a lunatic.
I don't know why Gaelio would see Ein in that mental state and give him the okay to head into combat, considering he was his direct superior. He failed as both a Gjallarhorn official and a friend. (He's still failing, even now)
>>15212212
Yeah, it felt like a huge contrivance. Like they wanted the shock value of Ein being this incredible badass who went around killing anyone, but without any of the actual consequences. Especially when everyone else whose mobile suit has suffered as much brutality as Ein inflicted on his targets either dies or is horrible crippled. Hell, it happened to Ein. Why do Shino and Lafter and Azee get a pass when he doesn't?
>>15212225
You think that Akihiro is going to be chill with Galan's boss as an ally?
Or that Orga is going to side with the guy who Dainsleif'd the Turbines?
Because Rustal's faction demonstrate love, friendship and trust, while McGillis doesn't I'm not getting something here...
I can understand Tekkadan breaking their contract/obligations to McGillis and operating as an independent entity. But they won't do that and then proceed to ally themselves with Rustal. Come on now.
>>15212274
Yeah, that is a fair point.
I might see a lot of similarities between the two groups, but that doesn't change the fact that Rustal's machinations have cost Tekkadan a lot, and they're exceedingly unlikely to forgive and forget.
It is stunning to see the degree some people will go to totally rewrite history whenever they like a character.
>>15212098
He wasn't a coward in the first season. He was basically a victim of circumstance, lies and manipulation trying to put together some sense of the situation as it descent with Tekkadan out of control. He was ignorant and arrogant until his world came crashing down on him by the end.
He's even less one now facing down his nemesis and benefactors challenging them in full view of a planet looking on in anticipation. But i guess we'll soon see what happens to him with the Rustal battle coming up with Tekkadan and McGillis.
So what was this exactly? Was it Vidar?
So how would destroying Tekkadan benefit McGillis anyhow?
Covering his tracks?
Salvaging their Gundam Frames?
>>15212381
It doesn’t, right now I see no reason for him to betray them, Tekkadan in the other hand may betray him if he ends up behaving like a mad man
>>15212400
Yeah it would be better for him to just continue to use Tekkadan
Just started S2 yesterday, 7~ish episodes in now. I'm not sure if it's because I get to watch it all in one go without waiting a week between episodes, but I don't see anything wrong with S2 so far. It's a HUGE improvement over season 1, and is actually pretty enjoyable so far.
>>15212381
The slaves will obviously go against their master
Mainly because Orga is shit and has difficult time making decisions
Especially now since MUH ANIKI is dead

ALL OF THIS MAKES ME FURIOUS.
HE COULD HAVE BEEN THE ANTI-MIKA. HE COULD HAVE BEEN COOL.
INSTEAD HE'S JUST MIKA'S NEW LEGS.
>>15212334
I doubt it, because Vidar was just out by itself in orbit. I don't think they'd mistake a mobile suit for a shuttle.
>>15212381
What if McGillis doesn't want to share power and wants to keep control over Mars?
>>15212316
>It is stunning to see the degree some people will go to totally rewrite history whenever they like a character.
That is frightening and, at the same time, very tragic.
Why the hell have headcanons and fanwanks gotten out of control in the IBO threads?
>>15212381
You guys are retarded. It's not that McGillis will betray Tekkadan in the natural sense. It's that he is using Tekkadan to throw them under the bus basically, he knows that they will fight to the death against his opponents who will try to aim to take them (and his "comrades") out for his coup and leave him with his own plan to execute. In the end, he will face a depleted opposition. If Tekkadan lives through it, so be it, but if they don't, he doesn't really give a shit. He has this information and is smart enough to understand what he got them into and what he was getting them into in the first place. Tekkadan wasn't.
>>15212544
Would he use their sacrifice as propaganda?
>>15212417
It's better than season 1 but suffers at times.
Depends on views on Iok or Vidar.
>>15212584
>the Char becoming a Ghiren
Well, that would be something.
>>15211830
so next episode is the "they're going to fight" ep. then its a cliffhanger. well with ep 45 blurb Makes me think Rustal tells tekkadan what siding with McGillis actually means so Tekkadan is going to have to decide which to do?
>>15212422
Until the 3rd chapter of season 2 i though Hush would be the masked guy until "Gali Gali" happened.
Well, at least he isn't dedfor now.
>>15212381
>Benefit
McGillis is insane and immature enough to trigger another Mars Vs Earth conflict ala the Calamity War after all his enemies have been eradicated to his supremacy in Gjallarhorn.
>>15212422
I mentioned in a prior thread. If Hush's potential would have been achieved as a character he'd be an insufferable prick rival for Mikazuki and their enmity would be entirely one sided and silly.
Just be thankful he got the Hekija in the end as his MS. It's still miles better than some nothing-Shiden variant like all the others.
>>15212624
Next episode Rustal is mobilizing iok, and probably julietta. He's going to be killing McGillis comrades and Tekkadan will decide that even though they have no alliance to those comrades, they have to make sure Mcgillis wins
fuck bael and vidar. Wheres grimgerde??
>>15212381
>>15212400
Attempts to destroy Tekkadan because he's scared of Mika in the Barbatos. McGillis is an insecure faggot and having any possible challengers to his rule is a no go. He simply can't understand that Tekkadan would be satisfied, because he simply can't imagine himself being that.
Heck, even if Mika becomes a vegetable after the penultimate battle, I'm expecting McGillis to order Barbatos destroyed, but Tekkadan won't let it because they want to get Mika out of the Gundam.
>>15212719
>Next episode Rustal is mobilizing iok
>>15212381
he secretly wants mars too. He wants to rule everything and make it mandatory for every boy to get fucked in the ass when theyre 5
>>15212721
in S1 where it belongs
Just only one, ONE(1) scene where we saw him in the after-rape and faggots like >>15212737 come from their woodwork??
>>15212135
My god there are actually gullible retards around here who believe this. Julietta and Iok have blind worship for Rustal and for all we know he could be another McGillis in disguise and Gaelio is simply being a tool again and falling for another dude's bullshit. Maybe that's just in his nature? But sure please write me some more fanfiction, oh faggot desperate to validate the Rustal faction.
>>15212148
Gaelio was ALWAYS struggling against Mika. "Evenly matched" is not the word I'd use.
>>15212785
>for all we know he could be another McGillis in disguise and Gaelio is simply being a tool again and falling for another dude's bullshit.
You're not wrong, but at the same time, that just seems to be totally narratively redundant, when the story seems to be playing up McGillis' more villainous nature as of late.
>>15212730
can't wait for Iok.
>>15212799
Not really, there can be more than one asshole in Gjallarhorn and seeing Rustal's usual conduct as a Gjallarhorn officer it's even more than likely he's no paragon of virtue himself. Just because McGillis doesn't operate on emotion doesn't automatically promote Rustal in that area just to give him an opposition on every level. Every time Rustal interacts with both Lulietta and Iok he talks about "roles" and "purpose" he has for them. I have yet to see Rustal demonstrate a genuine affection for them on the level of Orga buying candy for the children. He is handling them like his personal assets and that's how his interactions with them are presented. He even threatened Iok he'll cut all ties with him if he steppes out of line one too many times.
>>15212334
Vidar coming back from Earth and heading toward Rustal's home base on the Moon.
>>15212434
It's going to be inconvenient for him that Mars happens to be another planet millions of miles away from Earth then.... He's going to have to clone himself and put himself in every office starting from Earth, Moon, Mars and Jupiter. Good luck with that Macky.
Anyone else feel like this show is gonna completely shit itself in the last few episodes? It seems either McGillis is true to this word and we watch Gaelio get cucked and die for real this time or Gaelio and Tekkadan somehow defeat Mcgillis and Tekkadan is left as a bunch of losers again. And somewhere in there Rustal will die of course, but seriously the only conclusion seems to be one that is unsatisfying.
>>15212695
That would be an extreme departure from his character who has been demonstrating nothing but deadly pragmatism for 43 episodes of this show.
>McGillis is insane and immature enough to trigger another Mars Vs Earth conflict ala the Calamity War
>he's scared of Mika in the Barbatos. McGillis is an insecure faggot and having any possible challengers to his rule is a no go.
What's with all these fuckers and their retarded McGillis headcanons?
>>15212859
>his character who has been demonstrating nothing but deadly pragmatism
Deadly pragmatism would dictate him wiping out or subverting any possible threats to his rule. Destroying every single Gundam except the Bael would certainly be pragmatic.
If McGillis misunderstands Tekkadan's intentions as 'accrue more power', which be in character given how he and they share the same background of orphans being shat on, subverting them would not be on the schedule. They would be on the chopping block too.
Of course, it's equally likely that McGillis wouldn't be so blind and let Tekkadan rule Mars, or gets the Full Frontal treatment by Agnika's soul, or dies by GARlio rather than jobbing to him.
>>15212855
Why do you guys think Tekkadan will side with Gaelio? They have 0 reason to. McGillis has them by the balls, they owe shit to him, they're a small faction compared to everyone else, no one in Gjallarhorn including Gaelio would literally promise them automatic royalty and leadership in Mars which is now their goal, and they would never side with Rustal after he got most of their Earth branch killed off. Even if Mika or Orga eventually goes against McGillis in the end, they are not going to side with Gaelio.
>>15212855
Okada can't write endings so definitely
>>15212879
Because if Mcgillis does betray them they are going to get nothing anyways. I'm not saying Gaelio and Mika are gonna shake hands and be friends, but if McGillis goes batshit crazy and betrays Tekkadan they may as well work together temporarily to get rid of him. And really it would only be a satisfying conclusion for Gaelio if he gets his revenge. Why bring him back otherwise?
>>15212097
>he was conversing with Julietta 90% of the time. he only got “2 minutes of mech action” in 16 episodes.
Yeah, Galelio spent most of season 2 just staring at Vidar in a hanger and conversing with Julietta.
Someone posted a picture of a bunch of Ryusei-Go merch a thread or two ago and I got bored, so here's a simple phone background.
>>15212893
Tekkadan are definitely not going to end up as the automatic king of mars. Mars is fighting for independence, and although Tekkadan are seen as heroes to them, it's not even what Orga fully wants. He just wants to come out of it alive in the end. McGillis doesn't really care if they come out of it alive in the end, but I doubt people associated with Gaelio would give any shits either. Ending might be both Gjallarhorn and Tekkadan dissolving in some way, with the only people left just glad to be alive and have a chance to rebuild a life with their loved ones.
>>15212898
>Tekkadan dissolving in some way, with the only people left just glad to be alive and have a chance to rebuild a life with their loved ones.
party at takaki's place
>>15212907
that'd be a pretty depressing party. also, assuming mika will be there at all??? and orga, if he's still alive, won't be crippled with a lifetime of guilt.
>>15212913
well I was being silly but seriously who else would open there doors to a bunch of seriously wounded ex-tekkadan's the guys that sided with McGillis the traitor madman?
>>15212897
Thanks, anon. It's a good background.
>>15212897
Speaking of, if the Graze was the first, the Shiden was the third, and Flauros is the fourth, what was the second Ryusei-Go? Is that supposed to be the joke (because Norba is an idiot) or am I missing something?

KYS
>>15212924
well since his first graze was destroyed by ein. he got a plain shiden (#2) then it was upgraded to the custom (#3). thats my guess but I don't know
>>15212907
Takaki fans should be happy, that guy had a happy ending secured unless Okada decide to be a dick
>>15212913
Yeah everyone else life or fate is currently in danger, unless we somehow get a S1 ending
>>15212934
>that guy had a happy ending secured
totally did, but I could see in the epilogue part of the ending where we see takaki again doing something.
but it'd be too much of a stretch to drag him into the plot to actually hurt him.
>>15212924
Mobile worker is the #1 ryuseigo. Graze is #2.
>>15212877
>Deadly pragmatism would dictate him wiping out or subverting any possible threats to his rule. Destroying every single Gundam except the Bael would certainly be pragmatic.
Except no tyrant in history has ever went down the route of destroying all weapons in order to maintain their hegemony. He'd be much more likely to want to have them all for himself. And as recent developements show there is never a shortage of fanatic followers to his bidding.
You got to remember that no man rules alone. And Mars is a separate fucking planet, If he doesn't have his trusted people able to maintain order in that place, it'll fall to the same chaos it has been in for ages.

>>15212893
>Anyone else feel like this show is gonna completely shit itself in the last few episodes? and we watch Gaelio get cucked and die for real this time
Wow, Galifags are getting really desperate. McGillis is the main antagonist and Char clone while Gaelio is just a supporting character.
>>15212859
>What's with all these fuckers and their retarded McGillis headcanons?
these retarded McGillis headcanons are being made by gaeliofag.The hate they have for McGillis and Mika is fucking intense to the point of nonsense.

Char clones
>>15211978
For the time being, if she was old enough she would found by Mika looking like a starved whore and relying on her body to get a meal to show how down on her luck she was before Mika takes pity on her and gets her a job seeing how she had suffered so much.
Makes the whole dynamic different since Shino would have used her as a cumdumpster (And getting a beating once for not letting First Corps guys having their way with her) during the odd visit for proper meals. Talking about how great Atra was and rumor milling about some girl leaving the brothel that he used to visit.
>>15213109
Where's Galio?
>>15213084
>Except no tyrant in history has ever went down the route of destroying all weapons
The tyrant keeps the biggest stick for himself. Making sure that your rebels only have access to shit tier equipment gives you easy mode.
Letting Gundams stick around is asking for a Gundamjack.

The only reason he would do something like that is if it serves his goals.Macky is a pragmatical, manipulative bastard, but he is not insane.A move like that would cost him his allies.The only move he can make right now is sick Tekkaden on Rustal and hope they both sufficiently eakened, for him to mop em up once his power is secured.

I still don't understand how this system actually works and what's exactly going on with Ein's brain, but assuming he's in such condition that it will run forever and will not age/expire, then what then? Gealio had his suit refitted with the system to fight McGillis and Mika but did he think what was going to happen with it after he's done? For example, if he gets killed but the system survives, will it be forced to work for another pilot essentially forever? If Gaelio survives and kills all those he wanted to kill, what then? He retires/euthanizes Ein or keeps the suit and makes him work indefinitely?
I sure hope Gaelio has thought about those things.
>>15212896
>Yeah, Galelio spent most of season 2 just staring at Vidar in a hanger and conversing with Julietta.
A bishounen guy focused on drama and little or no mecha action.
The current fans of Mecha love this kind of character.
Unfortunately, The current fans of Mecha (90% of them are American children) prefer these kinds of shit characters (idols, bishounens, lesbians, shotas, traps, non-pilots, non-action characters, yuri girls, high school girls, Moeblobs, Genki girls and/or shoujo) focused on bullshit (drama, fujo, yuri, music, waifu pandering, yaoi, high school drama, teenage drama, SoL and/or Slice of life) and little or no mecha action.
They watch Mecha for drama, fujo, yuri, music, waifu pandering, yaoi, SoL, Slice of life, high school drama, teenage drama, shoujo, idols, bishounens, Moeblobs, shotas, waifus, lesbians,bishounens, shotas, traps, non-pilots, non-action characters, yuri girls, high school girls, Moeblobs, Genki girls, shoujo and other shit.

It might seem cool on paper but in times of peace you don't really have a lot of life options. Only "heavy" labour and sitting in a hangar. You're also completely dependant on your handlers for maintenance and can only hope they don't deem you unprofitable and scrap you. Your engine disrupts communication so you're never allowed any urban areas. Your frame is susceptible to rusting so you're never allowed in see water, no aquatic exploration. You're too big to pet animals or even be around them not to stomp them. You can't eat, can't have sex, 80% of your life is probably going to be sitting in the hangar in sleep mode. You only "live" during sortie, so life for you is pretty much just battle.

>>15212246
It's that very contradiction I find interesting. Gaelio didn't approve of many things Ein wanted but he still gave them to him out of guilt and fondness.
When Gaelio chose to give Ein the Alaya Vijnana, he also chose to grant the later's wishes regardless of his opinion on the matter. And that pretty much defines their whole relationship since then. Gaelio is merely standing by that choice. What makes it even better is that he was manipulated into making it against everything he stood for by Choco, but he still stands by it.
>>15214628
Gealio is just being an enabler and is showing weak moral backbone, dont try make it sound deep.
