Pretty damn good episode. True Uso's move wasn't the brightest one evr... but the rest of the episode was really good, and they are children after all, they are bound to make mistakes and learn from them.

And lol at all the female pilots xD

Damn, no show can turn war into a childish playground better than Gundam.

Btw is the Federation completely non existent in this show?

Katejima is a traitor D: or, a spy? I don't know, but I think that she's a spy because of this letter (I don't know it's content, but I think she says she's going to spy)

It was going to be better if he had killed Katejima and then saw her letter saying she would become a spy, and them realize that he killed his friend for nothing.

Oh, and the background music is very good. It's like an epic adventure theme song xD

katejina is most definitely a traitor, at this point shes a ticking time bomb before she starts fighting the good guys. Also why the fuck does victory even have legs, like it went through 3 pairs of them and kept discarding them yet never once were they any use

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

The idea of having spare Gundam legs wouldn't be a bad idea if he didn't get them destroyed so many times. In Victory Gundam they make legs like they make shields in other shows.

I don't know what game katejina is playing (if she is just a traitor or is acting like a double agent) but I can already tell I won't like her character progression either way. Otherwise I really liked this ep.

Cronicle keeps being the interesting nice guy on the other side. Katejina starts to send bad vibrations again, Shakti is... blind? (seriously, she has Cronicle on her family photo!!) Not sure what to say about Uso.
Oh, and they got what looks like a second pilot, but he will be limited to the classic role of "Core" thingy pilot. Yeaah....

The musics are not memorable but they are all pretty good. My favourite until now: http://youtu.be/phV2urHdSbo

It had already become terrible between UC0093 and UC123: the Londo Bell forces were so weak in comparison to Bright's time. And the leaders were practically at the level of Leijiverse politicians.

@Sapewloth So you succumbed to the soundtrack too?
My personal choice is Adrenalin High, probably because its effect on me never faded through the entire series. (its name fits it perfectly XD)

The letter drama... you'll have to bear it.

And the Federation, we all saw them handing their future doom over to Char for gold. And we saw what a shame became their once glorious (elite) forces of Londo Bell. Victory will be their swan song.


@St0rmblade And you were trying to get me to aknowledge spoilers? XD Not criticizing of course since you seem to ve willing to take the right path, and the episode made it quite obvious again.
I wonder how you can be all over Katejina while Shakti is actually the irritatingly stupid character at this time, if I remember well. Also, have a good time with the "letter drama" !

My freaking God if Shakti doesn't give Uso that letter...

I don't like Katejina much and I'm not sure what game she's playing either, but I can't help but feel her progression is gonna be catastrophic in the most fascinating kind of way. I'm most curious to see how her relationship with Cronicle will affect the latter, though, as he seems to be a genuinely nice guy (see the friend with animals cliché). The absence of the Federation is also disturbing, as somebody else pointed out, but their degradation since CCA gives some context to their total lack of presence.

As for my favorite part of the show thus far, i.e. the music, I'd say my favorite piece is this one:

Heroic yet slightly ominous at the same time, really fitting for a ghost Mobile Suit from a distant past.

Considering Katejina's actions and given her flair for admiring mobile weapons during sunrise (displayed in the previous episode), I guess her allegiance is finally clear. It ought to liven things up quite a bit, though. Of course, Shakti won't relay Uso any correspondence, for better or worse.

I can't believe that a GM is more durable than this new mobile suit. If someone told me that Gundam V is made of foil paper I would believe it... *Sigh*

Katejina wanted to "learn more about Zanscare philosophies"? The philosophy of guillotining people?

By the way, Victory may be the first (?) Gundam yet to show pilots reading the damn manual xD

And of course Shakti didn't show Uso the letter.

Kinda puzzled by the fact that this pink-haired woman is still allowed to command. Wasn't she going to be sent to a court martial?

P.S. Just realized that Katejina's "avatar" in the character list on MAL shows her wearing Zanscare uniform. Well I see where this is going.

---------
@Rei_III Spoiler culture has gone so far as to putting spoilers directly into anime character avatars. Unthinkable!

Shakti feels like a reactive character right now (responding to the circumstances, not taking any active action). So she hasn't managed to become irritating so far.
