Episode 49 - ver. 11.0
>>9663
First for best boy
Everything ends like how it started
>>9665
>You're a big Gundam
>4u 4u 4u 4u
>>9663
Is the Monkey going to finally do something useful ?
Will Iok do anything useful ?
Will Rustal do anything other then smile ?
How much of the ep do you guys think will be the battle? I'll guess 18 minutes followed by a 10 year timeskip
So its just going to be Mika, Akihiro, Eugene, Dante, and whoever is in Ride's Shiden vs Julieta and a lot of Grazes. Sounds like its going to be a boring fight unless Julieta brings something that can challenge the Gundams.
>>9667
Is Ein kill for good? If so will Gali and Mika both get turned into potatos in the final battle?
I hope Juli puts Gali in an Ein Jar to become Vidar2.0
Why do the normalfags, fujos, Evageeks and Macross World hate Mika so much?
>>9670
Are you retarded? Gaelio will do nothing more. He doesn't have a fucking Gundam.
>>9665
akihiro has a nice gundam but his scissors look like ass
rex lupus looks gangly, he should have done some quadraped shit by now with how long those arms and thick those legs are
vidar was the best mech this series, lots of weapons besides
flauros would have been either first or 2nd if we actually got to see it in action transforming outside of just the OP
>>15381208
is this even a preview
>>9671
Why do the normalfags, fujos, Evageeks and Macross World hate Mika so much?
That's a lie, tho. Those cancerous fanbases love him
>>9674
Yes. You should be capable to see some frames in that storyboard.
>>9668
10-15 with cuts into Kudellia and Atra, then flashforwards after a cliffhanger, then epilouge from what happened then through said flashforward.
does anyone else think orga died to late in the game?
or better, if he died after the battle, which would have been much later but everything else was done
>>15361330
Wrongneighborhoodfatherfucker.jpg
>>9678
He died way too late
>>9678
Everybody in Tekkadan should have died in s1, the story would have been way better off
>>9668
>How much of the ep do you guys think will be the battle? I'll guess 18 minutes followed by a 10 year timeskip
Maybe they'll go for the Dougram ending, the episode where the professor dies and everybody just goes home. Pretty anticlimatic as endings go. But no, IBO will go for a shittier ending, after all Okada hasn't yet done enough damage.
>>9681
Literally this.
Meat team vs McGillis should have been the second season.
In part it's like that, actually.
>>9683
but mcgillis died like a bitch?
>muh bael
lol uninspired design lasts like 3 eps and loses to a chump, absolutely nothing impressive
the only way he could have possibly succeeded was to get mika to fight for him
I dont see how anyone tekkadan lives after this
the guys going to earth to get their shit changed probably can but no one else
>>9684
>Died trying to solo the entire fleet
What would be a manly way to die then ?
>>9685
sudoku
>>9686
Sudokuing yourself by taking down dozen of ennemy MS, wrecking the ace pilot robot and blowing up two of those big ships, probably destroying even more graze along the way is a pretty good sudoku.
>ride isn't the pilot
so who is?
>>9671
There is nothing new in that of course.
>>9675
>That's a lie, tho. Those cancerous fanbases love him
That's not true, tho. they prefer the characters with little or no Mecha action or non-action characters, focused on Drama, SoL, Music, Slice of life, Melodrama, idol's career, Shojo, fujo, yuri and other fucking shit.
Eugene
>>9688
>so who is?
Takaki
>>9687
the only real accomplishment was wrecking the ein suit in the grand scheme of things
>>9693
I already made peace with the manlet dying, but I really don't want Eugene to die on me too.
>>9688
I really like these executioner Grazes. By the way, can anyone confirm if they're derived from the Ground Types or not?
>>9691
Takaki is busy enjoying life after getting off the wild ride.
BTW that screenshot is from episode 7 of season 2 I think.
>>9672
This. Gaelio is more than likely out now for good. His sole reason for affiliating with Rustal was killing McGillis and now it's been fulfilled. He's done unless it's for Julietta's sake.
Maybe he'll rescue her again or something after combat like he did before, but i don't see anything happening with him other than some passive epilogue bullshit.
>>9695
Pretty sure that they're just repaints of the standard graze with new weapons. They're even using the standard graze thrusters in the butt/ground configuration like we saw back in the first couple episodes of S1.
>>9695
>executioner Grazes
No, it's a variation of the Standard Graze, model number EB06Q Graze Schild.
>>9665
>Dino barbie
Its dumb, i like it.
>>9700
>EB06Q Graze Schild
Ahh, I didn't know their official designation until now.
Eugene is in the unicorn graze, Black Mechanics might be in the Riden go
>your face when Julieta and her special squad are just the Reginlaze Julia and some Graze with special paintjobs
They'll tease it as some custom or command variant because they really love pushing Graze models, its been such a weakpoint of IBO. Lack of variety, its like 10 different Graze models, some one offs, Gundams, and the ugly shit Teiwaz used.
>>9703
Riden Go requires AV and black mechanic doesn't have it.
>>9674
> that was all the previews
what the shit, is the episode really going to be so balls to the walls insane they cant show a few more stills without spoiling stuff?
>Literal Fedora Gundam will never be seen on screen
What a waste.
>>9707
>Fedora Gundam
>Gundam
It's a variant of the Hyakuren.
>>9707
>fedora
>switchblade
goddamn its all checks out
>>9688
One of the little kids from S1
Either the one with the baseball cap or the one with the knit hat.
>>9707
I unironically like this thing.
don't forget to go to the polls and exercise your voting rights
http://www.strawpoll.me/12646206
>>9711
>>9690
He was ruined in s2
I don't think he had a single line that wasn't about muh leader Orga
>>9715
He was barely even a character in S1, so there wasn't a great deal to 'ruin'.
>>9688
That kid with one arm that Akihiro was talking to? Have to make Akihiro suffer more, last chance they got to go on about MUH HUMAN DEBRIS
>>9715
Remember when he was presented like this?:
>Unhappy at having his position usurped by Orga, he begins to nurture a grudge.
>>9710
>h-he-he said so himself so that means it's true!
Because Gaelio always said the truth and nothing but the truth to Rustal right?
>I found Julietta who was drifting in deep space alone somewhere in a nanomirror chaff ridden battlefield by coincidence while getting back to the ship
>I couldn't prevent him from taking the Bael
Not to mention the OOC stuff like pic related, whenever he's with Rustal he's basically always behaving like a faithful dog.
>>9710
this
>>9699
>in the hangar
You, I like you.
Gaelio always looks best when he's standing in a hangar.
>>9720
In the end he's actually not that different that he was before. He just broods more. When we first see him, he's a naive whining brat. And he's STILL a naive, whining brat. He just whines about different things now.
>episode 25
deaths
>>9724
>Mika not dead
A piece of shit to the very end.
>>9724
>I belong where Orga is
>I'll apologize in the next life when we're reborn
Mika and Guts have been dead men walking for like 7 episodes.
>>9726
Guts staying alive is more suffering for him than dying.
>>9707
Fixed
>>9729
>>9723
>naive, whining brat
You again? It's really just a few of us here, isn't it.
If you have so many problems with someone expressing his anguish through a bit of eye liquid, I'd suggest a trip to the psychologist or buying a book titled "how to manage my emotions". You probably need it.
>>9688
>so who is?
Carta
I finally watched the last three episodes. Iok died stupidly, just like he lived; and did Julieta got AV'd while the doctors repaired her body and is going to pilot Bael now? Because that engineer woman was awfully happy.
>>9734
>Iok died stupidly
No body, no confirmation.
Maybe engineer is happy with whatever happened to MS Julia or the special forces. Julietta seemed the same and we had that scene with Gali in ep 46 man.
>>9734
If Julieta got AV'd it was McGillis-style and not Ein because she looks exactly the same when she's talking to Rustal in this episode.
Iok's not dead.
>>9735
>Julietta seemed the same and we had that scene with Gali in ep 46 man.
She could still have an AV port under the uniform, just like Makky did.
>>9733
At least she has 1 good doujin
>>9665
Is this a preview image ?
>>9738
McGillis wore a high, loose colar, Julieta's is shorter and tighter so it would have been a bit more obvious if she had the surgery.
>>9742
McGillis's AV is on the lower part of the spine. We see it when he gets in Bael.
>>9743
I had forgot about that, though I still doubt she had the surgery. Would she have had the time to get it?
>>9741
yes, previews are
>>15381154
>>15381159
>>15381205
>>15381208
only 4 this week
>>9740
>only one good doujin
It's not fair.
>>9737
Here you go
>>9747
Not fair is that the best girl doesn't have one, and another that's a Julieta and Luka crossover
>>9749
>ベドロラのヒント
Not even close, literally just a random string of katakana.
If you really stop and think about it, IBO has a Faustian thing going for it. Sure, there's Mika giving up parts of his body to power up Barbatos, but there's more than that.
Despite initially being afraid of Mika, Orga believed as long as he had the murderhobo at his side he could do anything, so they entered into an agreement. In exchange for following Orga, Orga would lead Mika to the place where they belong. This is Orga selling his soul to Mika, and afterwards Orga feels he has to live up to Mika's expectations of him, so they have to do crazy shit in order to move forward. When Orga is breaking down after Biscuit's death, Mika is there to remind him of their deal and push him into being the leader Mika expected him to be. Orga had to take on a badass persona, and his speeches ended up poisoning the minds of those he was leading so they all had the same expectations in him that Mika did. Orga wanted to lead his men to a happy ending, but they were all so poisoned he ended up making decisions that ended up destroying Tekkadan.
McGillis also sold his soul to Mika. Mika and Tekkadan's strength inspired him to begin his plans and throw his lot in with them. He even went so far as to sacrifice his friends to do so.
In the end they're all drinking that kool-aid of power Mikazuki is handing out, leading to their own destruction. And remember, Mikazuki's nickname is the Devil of Tekkadan.
>>9752
i like this pottery
>>9752
I like that interpretation. Though I'd say Choco was denied the pact. Mika is, ironically enough, monogamous for this stuff.
Isn't a faustian deal supposed to be asymetrical though? Both Orga and Mika sacrificed a lot for one another. Though Mika was always the one the devil imagery was pushed on.
>>9752
Wow, I never thought of that, IBO is so deep
Cannot wait for Iron Blooded Ovaries to finally be over.
>>9665
I am expecting a reversal of what happened in S1 finale.
So far we've got Gaelio killing McGliss.
I think Mika will die to Julietta.
Guts will die to 12 Grazes engulfing him, cutting his limbs off and impaling him with multiple spears.
>>9757
>I think Mika will die to Julietta
How awesome would it be if Julietta killed Mika in a Flauros/Graze equipped with AV type GM?
I was hoping for Julietta avenging Galan Mossa by killing Guts, but that may not happen.
WHO WILL HE KILL?
>>9759
She sees revenge as something essentially bad and negative. She told Gaelio as much. It makes sense that she wouldn't suscribe to it.
>>9760
i don't want him to go out and fight he needs to be protected at all costs.
>>9752
You're looking into it too much, this isn't a deep series.
>>9763
2deep4u apparently
>>9722
That's just indicative the establishing shots with his Gundam are fucking sweet.
Like spoiler alert:all of his Gundam designs are great
>>9760He will kill Julietta by shooting Mika through her(Possibly at her behest), Mika will get a IMPLIED Death Scene only to show up in the last scene to reunite with BABBY and harem while in a wheelchair, never mind that he is already crippled, gotta have the /visual/ damage too.
>>9764
Nice post my friend, I see that you too, like myself, are what is known here as an "oldfag".
>>9766
This, 100% Okada
>>9763
Different anon, but I'd like to say that I think there can be something to be said for interpretations that aren't intended by the author. Although IBO has pretty poor writing, the show is certainly more interesting when viewed in >>9752 's context.
It can be interesting to look at shows from different angles. Then again, I guess you could also defend some pretty retarded interpretations with the same line of thinking. Ultimately I think it's more of a subjective thing about what interpretations a given viewer finds interesting. Even bad shows can sometimes be interesting when viewed in a different light.
Get ready for one last hot steaming load in 36 hours from now. Let this failure end in a raging ember of true gundam and mecha fans rejecting and standing tall.
>>9770
Fuck off shitter.
When comes the spoilers, when we should leave ?
>>9769
>interpretations that aren't intended by the author
Okada wrote on the theme of Faust before. Pic related, say Hi to Proto Choco (we can even go further with Proto Proto Choco who was a BL character from the 70s named Gilbert). This is definitely intentional.
Moreover I'd like to remind you Okada is a professional story teller. Bad or not it doesn't matter, whatever interpretation a bunch of average retards are coming up with on an anonymous board, she probably had 95% of those and a whole other bunch of literrary references we never heard of in mind when writing IBO.
That's why it always makes me laugh when people are whining about headcanons and people looking too deep into a work. Sure it happens, but sometime it's like people forget that everything that happens in a story happens by the will of someone with a brain.
>>9770
So what's 'true' Gundam?
Is it more early UC because Japanese businessmen are deathly afraid of progress and innovation?
>>9771
After you ANN
Requesting someone parody Final Countdown by Europe.
>>9765
Gundam are much like clothes, they make the man.
>>9773
alois a cute
>>9778
I couldn't find him cute back when I watched this. Only whiny and annoying. I must have been too young to understand the appeal of sluts.
>>9780
No it's a male(male), identifying as male.
>>9670
I want to see a Graze Ein derivative that actually wrecks shit.
>>9774
aye, gotta fit in another side story that was never mentioned before where there were other gundams too, perhaps during march 22nd of 0082....or we could go completely new and original...more neo neo zeon remnants.
>>9717
That's not really true, unless you count most characters barely characters. Which you probably do. Most people here don't understand story structure which is why they fall back on very thin criticisms in a story that is addled in its narrative and full of many problems, but most people can only come up with "no personality" "no character" "no development" (not understanding that characters don't need to go through major shifts or changes in thought or emotional process depending on the events of the story).
Eugene serves his role as a supporting character just fine, same as Akihiro and Shino and Yamagi and Ride, all with varying degrees of being underwritten at many moments.
>>9719
But he was still very aggressive with Orga especially when forcing him to pull back and also when he saw him making a deal with Rustal behind their backs. He was barely in the season otherwise, but what we saw shows he's still very much willing to challenge him. Just because he wants to give him a blowjob too it's not a bad thing, his entire character arc revolves around Orga.
Just wondering, do you guys think Mikazuki is a flat or stagnant character or one that has gone through no development and is therefore bad? What do you think of Gaelio surviving and the role he has played so far?
>>9785
>do you guys think Mikazuki is a flat or stagnant character or one that has gone through no development and is therefore bad
Yes "we" do, those are actually one of the few points everyone here agrees on actually.
>What do you think of Gaelio surviving and the role he has played so far?
I'm not objective because I have like 500 pics of him on my computer. Moreover that's just not specific enough a question for me to answer. Apparently you have an opinion on that so why not start by sharing it?
>>9783
I don't get it.
>>9729
>>9730
Looks like Nigel Thornberry in a fedora.
>>9773
>Gilbert
You mean that fag from Song of wind and tree.
It explains everything why IBO so gay in a very angst way.
>>9707
Wasn't there already something like that in Crossbone?
>Gundam has officially at least TWO giant robots with fedoras
>>9783
Now I know what reminded me when he sat in Bael's cockpit for the first time.
>>9786
My opinion on it, despite not being a Gaelio fan, is that it was a storytelling device and infused very old themes into one roll of a character, which is more important than if it's an "asspull" or not. Likewise, how he's propelled the story or affected it matters -- he has by putting the final nail in McGillis's plans when he interrupted his broadcast and has also killed him, while still carrying on a recurring theme in the series while he has and struggling with his own humanity and emotions. I don't think any of this is greatly written at all, in fact none of IBO is, but I think people's "criticism" is usually pretty shitty of it.
>>9665
But when IBO started I still had hope for the series
>>9793
I still have hope, but then again I'm only watching to see Tekkadan get BTFO.
>>9793
>>9794
I never had hope to begin with because i've always liked the show since the first episode
>>9794
It's the only way to redeem this shit. But I expect some asspull like in the last episode of the first season.
>Classicaloid New Project
>Kaiketsu Peypot
>Nothing for Orphans
I'm disappointed.
>>9786
>I'm not objective because I have like 500 pics of him on my computer.
How? I mean, did you screenshot all his appearances or are there a lot of fanarts out there?
I don't want best MS ever to die
so sad
>>9786
>"we"
>''everyone here''
Well... well, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but not everyone is a cancerfag like you.
>''I have like 500 pics of him on my computer.''
There is no need to say any more, this explains very well what type of cancer you really are.
Cancerfags aren't welcome in /m/, please go back to their phaggy ass site.
>>9785
It has nothing to do with 'understanding story structure', Eugene's character has the depth of a Dixie cup. What is there to tarnish?
>>9800
Best frog!
>>9803
A character does not need to have layers and layers of complexity or "depth" to have established traits that can be contradicted or thrown out. I don't think he was "tarnished" anyway and argued against it, but yeah, it does have to do with understanding story structure and what role supporting casts serve otherwise you end up having a bunch of half-thoughts like you do. Do you think Atra has depth? Kudelia? Shino? Yamagi? What do these characters have unique to them that is not shared by Tekkadan as a theme or isn't shared by a lot of characters? What do they show consistently, depth-wise, that is not heavily extrapolated from one or two tiny scenes? What about Lafter or Azee or Almiria? I mean it, you actually sound like a lot of people here in that you don't understand what you're talking about when you're criticizing the story or a character. When most people criticize Mikazuki or Orga here they also sound pretty retarded.

>>9805
i understand it's fun to argue with faggots on here but you won't get any actual thought out of them my friend...ibo threads are a shit mess but at least they'll be over soon
>>9803
I can't believe you're making me defend a character I don't give a shit about but ep 1,3,4,5,7,9,14,19,24,25,26,27,46,47,49 all show consistent traits with him, just because he isn't full of angst and conflict doesnt mean hes lacking any depth more than most of the characters who telegraph their constant philosophical questions aloud
>>9786
speak for yourself faggot, i hate mikazuki but no, i don't think he's a flat or stagnant character. i just don't really have serious character discussion in these threads because there isn't any point, but i don't agree at all. mikazuki is boring and unlikable, but he isn't flat. there's a difference.
Hush was the character with the best set up for depth and potential, discuss.
Next is Akihiro who stopped developing somewhere along the way when his arc got redundant and he faded into such irrelevancy that his resolutions to Aston's and Lafter's deaths were meaningless.
>>9810
Hush sucked and an angsty backstory doesn't = depth.
Everyone in IBO is bad because they are either underwritten, unexplored, over-telegraphed and heavyhanded, or had overexposure that led to a derailed or flopped character arc. No characters are good or deep or interesting beyond what people try to extract and turn into something greater. McGillis had potential and blew it as did Gaelio.
Hush is pure
>>9813
He sucks and is the biggest disappointment and embarrassment of the series. Literally a "who" character even more so than the rest who has made his mark by being a wheelchair, dying uselesly, and dropping a character arc the moment Mika stopped him from hitting a girl.
>>9805
>Do you think Atra has depth? Kudelia? Shino? Yamagi?
Maybe, no, no and no in that order.
And your initial point is sound, but the fact remains that claiming his character is 'ruined' when he received barely any meaningful screen time beyond the show's opening episodes and the final stretch is exceedingly melodramatic.
>>9815
Oh, I agree. I guess we don't disagree a lot then. I said that I didn't think his character was ruined because he's kept his established traits, and I think he's been underwritten as he basically became a nonentity in season 2 like Kudelia did and only became relevant when Shino died again. So I mean, I'm not saying he's got all of this amazing depth or anything, I just am saying he was not ruined. Which you were not arguing I guess, but I find that he wasn't "ruined" because he mostly kept what traits he did have in the, what, 2-3 episodes he's been relevant or had a personality in season 2, rather than because he never had any traits to begin with. But I agree that it's melodramatic and dumb regardless to call a character that's been so ignored ruined when he was only a supportive one in the first season anyway.
>>9814
MC's stupid friend is a famous character.
>>9815
>Atra
>maybe
That's definitely a no.
Gaelio will probably live and improve the conditions on Mars, even if it's by force.
>>9819
>improve the conditions on Mars, even if it's by force.
Together with Slaine troyard
>>9688
>executioner graze
>about to hit raiden-go
its a red flag who ever the pilot is will be fine. they doing this to make us think he'll be taken out like hush.
>>9732
>complaining about the image, not the post
You again? There really are a few dedicated Galiofags, aren't there.
In other news it looks like they got Wesker to voice Jasley in season 2's dub, which I don't get since he would have been perfect as Rustal.
>>9821
>Slaine is going to reform and improve the conditions on Mars.
I'm going to hell for laughing at this.
>>9688
Yamagi most likely.
Fighting in the MS the man he loved created? seems likely.
>>9807
>https://youtu.be/GknwL-XWG6c
>her eyes begging to suck his best friend's dick
Why is he so gay?
>>9819
It seems more fitting to me to leave Mars to Kudelia. I wouldn't be surprised if he helped but if Gaelio is going to be improving anything I'd expect it to be Gjhallarhorn.
>>9682
>But no, IBO will go for a shittier ending, after all Okada hasn't yet done enough damage.
dude shitty endings are the cross-universal unifier of all Gundam shows
>>9826
>yamagi flies the MS of his crush
>gets crushed by a giant ax
I want this to happen.
>>9830
Will Okada go for the Ideon movie ending?
>>9828
I'd be surprised if he left it alone after that shit about understanding Isurugi's feelings thanks to Ein, and saying the dreams McGillis gave Isurugi are nothing but a deception. Maybe the writers are just shit and they won't follow up on something that sounds significant but if they have half a brain they'll understand that they didn't just set up Gaelio as McGillis's killer, but also as someone who understands the plight of Martians like Ein and Isurugi, who were both led astray by McGillis, at least according to Gaelio.
>>9752
With this interpretation in mind, I'd be pretty pissed if Mika survives tomorrow's episode. Because willingly or not, he led Tekkadan to their doom as much as Orga did.
>>9834
If that's the interpretation then it's ironic since Mika's a kid who just wants to protect his family because he doesn't know what to do on his own. It's really unfair to Mika who had expectations pushed on him by people who idolized his simple fortitude and power and it's not him that they pushed towards their own demises.
>>9835
>Mika's a kid who just wants to protect his family
No. He kept pushing Orga to take dumber and dumber risks.
If he wanted to protect his family, he would have let him know to be more careful when things were actually going well for Tekkadan.
He also could have prevented the entire McGillis fuck-up by simply speaking his mind at the right time.
But he was blindly following Orga, who was blindly following him, who was blindly following Orga...
It's like a moebius strip of autism and murder.
His inability to reflect kills his family.
Quit making excuses.
>>9707
Looks like something out of Bubuki/Buranki.
>>9836
Only one of them put on airs about what they could do.
Mika was upfront about killing and destroying and he did everything that was asked of him. It's Orga and McGillis who lead themselves thinking they can take advantage of Mika's power to get where they want. Mika's not even autistic, he's borderline retarded and he gets abused by people around him because he's simple. You think he was the one who wanted to put a baby in Atra? When they meet Kudelia it's not "Kudelia I want to stick a baby in you" it's "Do you want one too?" It's Atra who keeps telling Kudelia to have a baby.
Who's the retard who keeps promising that he'll take everyone to the place?
Who's the chuuni who promised Bael was the greatest shit since sliced bread and that Tekkadan would be King of Mars?
Who's the cunt who keeps pushing the love triangle and baby making?
None of them is Mika.
>>9839
But Mika did said he would like to see Atra babies, It was only after Atra said she would only do It with him that he follow with the idea, also is not like Orga, Mcgillis and Atra are that mentaly stable, if been retarded is a good excuse for Mika
>>9839
Mika wasn't that stupid.
And your narrative runs counter to what was said during one of Mika and Orga's final conversations, where he basically says that he was fully aware of the effect he was having on people.
And even if he wasn't, idiocy doesn't override responsibility. Like it or not, he was a key factor in getting this shitshow on the road. He has to share in the blame too.
>>9752
That's an interesting interpretation. Personally I see IBO more as a jab against manchild otakus or even as a deconstruction of shonen mecha shows.
S1: the setup
Generic story about a bunch youngsters getting dragged into the evil schemes of evil adults and somehow succeeding against all odds.
First arcs of S2: foreshadowing
Lots of evil scheming in the background but violence still works
MA arc: full wish-fulfillment
An undefeatable enemy appears but the MC discovers a secret power in himself and solos the big bad.
And then comes the cut, after the MA arc literally anything important happens outside of the battlefield and having super special abilities doesn't do shit anymore.
>Barbatos gets redesigned

A subtle (haha) way to avoid providing arguments. But then again I can't fault you for that, it's hard to find evidence of character development when it doesn't exist.
>>9792
>My opinion on it, despite not being a Gaelio fan, is that it was a storytelling device and infused very old themes into one roll of a character, which is more important than if it's an "asspull" or not
You get it, which is more than I can say for most people here. Though personally I'd argue the concept of parapraxis and just about any observation of McGillis character through a rudimentary freudian lens is enough to explain how it could happen. You always end up fucking up what you don't want to do on a subconscious level.
>I don't think any of this is greatly written at all, in fact none of IBO is
Nah it's far from subtle, but honestly that was still the only part of IBO I was interested in. I love stories about friends and betrayal.

Yeah, he says that. But there's not a lot of evidence there.
He also tells Orga to use him up.

He's like the Miyazaki of mercenaries. He keeps talking about his retirement but never gets around to it.

Personally, I was thinking that this situation reminded me a lot ofFight Club. In that, the reason why the anarchist/rebel leader of a cult-like movement was eventually silenced, was due to his own voice of reason stepping up and actually trying to put a stop to the madness he is causing.
Here, in IBO, since Biscuit died, nobody dared to question Orga and Mika's decisions from that point onwards, so they don't regret this until it's too late.

First off,
>supposedly being the sexslave
There's nothing "supposedly" about that, namefag.
That out of the way, what the fuck does it have to do with a retarded, OOC idea that Gaelio would be down to marry his sister? He spent all of S1 acting jealous of her, and he hasn't mentioned her at all in S2. There isn't even a political benefit behind him marrying Almiria like there was in McGillis' case.
>>21097
>non-mecha cancer
Love this meme of characters and their motivations not mattering in /m/ shows. I also like how you can't type up a coherent sentence.
>>21108
>He spent all of S1 acting jealous of her, and he hasn't mentioned her at all in S2.
He was jealous because Mcgillis noticed her instead of him.
In the end I don't know what to think of Gaelio. I don't know if he loved Mcgillis or was anything else.
>>9846
On a scale of 1-10, how /mo/ are these two?
>>21197
>He was jealous because Mcgillis noticed her instead of him.
I agree with you that he was jealous because McGillis was giving her attention/Almiria was the one who got to be engaged to him, but McGillis literally just spent his dying scene confessing how he always noticed Gaelio, he just tried to deny it because being around him made him happy enough to waver from his goals.
As far as loving McGillis goes, I'm in the camp that he 100% did. It explains all of his actions perfectly, and he never had romantic interactions with anyone else.
>>21129
You again? You sound like a broken record.
>>21197

>>21197
>I don't know if he loved Mcgillis or was anything else.
Even if it was platonic it was love.
>It explains all of his actions perfectly, and he never had romantic interactions with anyone else.
He seemed fine with Carta being in love with McGillis and did they actually do anything romantic?
The closest thing was McGillis trying to touch Gaelio's face in the end.
>>21282
You had this conversation with that Galifag so recently that I actually remembered it, and yet you want to say I'm the broken record. I felt the need to chime in this time because your shitposting is still dumb. I was hoping hearing it from someone else would help you understand, but I guess not.
>>21283
Did one of those delusional tumblr fujoshits made this? Gali is just as much of an idiot as Choco. They should be both holding bread to their heads.
>>21258
>McGillis literally just spent his dying scene confessing how he always noticed Gaelio
I meant that I'm not sure about Mcgillis/Gaelio relationship after that scene. They were friends, but the thing I was trying to say is that I don't know if there was something farther than that friendship.
I hate when some people tend to eliminate friendship seeying romantic or sexual love everywhere. I want to think that most of the time they are friends.
>>21308
>He seemed fine with Carta being in love with McGillis
To me it makes sense Carta being in love with McGillis wouldn't bother him because she's not the one engaged to him. She's on the same playing field.
>did they actually do anything romantic?
I was less trying to say that Gaelio and McGillis had romantic scenes and more that Gaelio never showed any attraction towards a girl. His interactions with Carta and Julieta are distinctly platonic. His final confrontation with McGillis is romantic as fuck though, I agree.
>>21334
That really would make for a much better pic.
>>21318
Don't bother friend, I ignored his post for that very reason. Maybe if we stop answering he'll have the decency to find new bait.
>>21308
>He seemed fine with Carta being in love with McGillis
Because he didn't have to worry about McGillis and Carta hitting it off. There was just no fucking way this was going to happen.
With Almiria on the other hand, obviously Gaelio was a bit insecure.
1/100 Flauros.
Too bad it's fanmade.

Nothing wrong with that, it's obvious they made their relationship so that everyone could see whatever they wanted in it anyways.

Neither does Rustal, Gallus, Guts or Iok.
Essentially the only proof we have is that he didn't want to get married and he didn't think McGillis should marry a child.
The whole notice me shit came about because McGillis was trying to ignore him when he was trying to take revenge and couldn't even look at him when his power trip ended.
>>21522
He doesn't like to talk about Gali/Mc relationship I guess.

>>21542
The problem nowadays in all fiction stories is that everyone does things because is sexually interested in another character. Everyone is reducing everything just to that.
Examples:
Gali wants his senpai to notice him? Then he clearly is in love and wants to fuck him.
Julieta is talking sometimes with Gali? then they are in love and wants to fuck him.
Orga and Mika? Orga is always near Mika, so he clearly loves him.
And so on.
>>21594
IBO threads are 100% cancer
>>21542
>Gallus
Why would you include him? He's married. That aside, I'm just saying, it's suspect when he interacts a decent bit with two girls in a Gundam show run by Okada/Nagai and shows no interest. Meanwhile, you have the running from marriage, bizarre jealousy of his own sister that would make no sense under any other circumstance, the entire sequence this screencap is from, and the entire final confrontation with McGillis. It's just suspect.
>The whole notice me shit came about because McGillis was trying to ignore him when he was trying to take revenge and couldn't even look at him when his power trip ended.
He wanted McGillis to notice him long, long before that though.
>>21605
Literally nobody but two thristy whales cares about any of that. They might as well take it to a private chat where they can talk about the romantic angle of their run of the mill fujobait friendship all they long.

>>21638
>Literally nobody but two thristy whales cares about any of that.
Funny how I remember leading up to last episode there being quite a few posts mentioning how the only thing they were still invested in was the conflict between McGillis and Gaelio. Also, you're welcome to bring up new discussion topics at any time, in case you forgot.
>>21542
Look, it's never gonna get confirmed in the canon. All we got are hints, loots of hints, and those hints aren't just there to make us fight on another and bait fujos, they're also there to give you a deeper understanding of what's going on. There are no proof Gaelio is straight, and in the same way there are no proofs Gaelio is gay, only hints. Well personally I trust the beaten path with the breadcrumbs on it more than the guy who's about to enter the forest at a random point like "Hey guys! Follow me, I'll clear up a path. That's the first time I go around these parts and I have no idea what I'm doing but we should be fin-AOuch! Fuck! This tree fucking bit me!".
>>21638
Don't reduce it to 'two whales', anon, you'll find same questions and shippings in all series. It doesn't matter if it's homo, hetero or furry.
Actually you can find this "there is no friendship" in almost every fiction work, not only from japanese anime or manga.
To be honest I'm tired of seeying romantic stuff when the story doesn't need it most of the time, but you see, you have to add it (or at least sex scenes) if you want to sell.
>>21624
I dont think its weird to be upset that your friend is pushed into being engaged to a kid.
Gallus was mentioned because he was married and had kids.
Carta was his friend who was overbearing.
He looked up to mcgillis and thought of them as friends. He was fine with being trusted.
>>21605
The issue you are describing is called tumblr and fujioshi.
>>21702

>>21685
And how many of those posters were only interested in analyzing and dissecting the series frame by frame to fish out flimsy evidence for Gaelio being gay? Do you seriously think this is what all those anons were invested in? You're pathetic if you think this. Just as pathetic and desperate it is to repost that same screenshot compilation in every thread, on /m/ of all places, as if that'll sway the general opinion toward the notion that Gaelio is totally gay and thirsty for Macky's dick.

As the person who actually made that, I've barely reposted it. I didn't post it in this thread, for instance. And when I do post it, it's just to have something quick and simple to back up what I'm trying to say. Sure, it'd be nice if it actually persuaded someone else, but its primarily something of convenience for me.
Will they survive?
>>21885

And I'll tell you that by and large nobody in here gives a shit about this whole discussion regurgitated for the umpteenth time and you two are seriously out of place. Why don't you take it to a private chat and by all means talk about this all day. The thing about vague homo bait is that it allows for an endless debate with no clear cut conclusion unless you're desperate to push your interpretation as the ultimate canon.
>that doesn't mean you get to say cholorophylle is yellow because that's your opinion.
Now that's a loaded statement. Wouldn't it suggest anyone who disagrees with your stance on Gaelio's sexual preference is calling chlorophylle yellow? Is there a grain of self awareness in your fiber?
>>21881
>pic
Can't see Gaelio jealous because his sister. All I can see is that having a little girl as fiance is a shit, mostly because you can't do certain thingsActually you can do it, but it's so wrong. And having a fiance means he can't flirt with other people, at least not as freely as before. Perhaps Gaelio won't say anything if he sees Mc with flirting with other person, but think about his father what'd think.
Gallus cares a lot about Almiria. That scene from episode 49 says it all: she doesn't want to leave Fareed's house and his father was just there, trying to change her mind instead of taking her out or just slaping and telling her she should stop her nonsense. I'm sure that a father like that, if he knows his future son-in-law is bad or an asshole, he'd cancel her marriage.
>>21961
>this whole discussion regurgitated for the umpteenth time
Do you know why this discussion happens over and over again? Because someone always says something retardedly OOC like "Gaelio would marry his sister" and discussion spirals from that. Not once have I instigated discussion about this without something prompting it. And once again, why don't you start a discussion of your own? I get tired of having the same conversations over and over again because of idiots too. You might have something refreshing to bring up.

>>22457
I'm sure he does dislike lolicons, but he keeps framing it as being hard for McGillis, rather than showing any concern for his sister.
