Cause maybe they lost their parents?

Geez Shakti your going to get someone killed if you keep on doing stupid shit like that. Poor baby is going to be scared to death before even learning to walk or talk cause of you. >_>

Well there goes the first person from Oliver's harem.

5/5

Poor Shakti, she's going insane...

I bet that no one of this random bitches will live to the end of this series.

I love Shakti and the baby voices <3

I noticed that in this show (as in Gundam F91) the woman were taller than the man, in general. Ok, most of the men in Victory are old guys or kids, but even Oliver is shorter than the womans at his harem. I don't know if they didn't think about that or if it was porposeful

THIS. The strain's too much for her.
I thought, what the hell, is she planting seeds or something. Holy godoka, now's not the time for that, things are blowing sky high.

My thoughts exactly, lol. I think its Tomino's poorly excused mood swing trademark. lol
And I love how we're supposed to care about that Helen chick's death without getting to know her.. Hope we at least to know the other chicks before they become canon fodder.

i was enjoying the series until this episode, what the fuck was anyone doing in this episode, and ooohhh noooo the character introduced last episode that we didnt even know the name of till she died, died. They couldnt have waited like a few more episodes until offing here so we could remotely give a shit

Who says that you're supposed to give a shit about her? It's just the death of a soldier. Things like that happen. It's war. Nobody dying in a battle would be stupid. It's the same like random soldiers getting shot on White Base during Ramba Ral's attack. With your logic, the city destruction in the previous episodes was also bad because we didn't know these civilians that died.

You didn't?! I knew it the moment they were introduced someone, if not all would die pretty soon.
And what the hell was wrong with Shakti this episode, total mental breakdown in the worst moment, ugh.

First: very glad that the heroes start using several Victories ! Though Marbett and Oliver, no matter what an entertaining pair they are, didn't even prove their abilities.

A new ennemy pilot, a woman, is introduced. With her soft voice, she wronged me until she killed two civilians ("for fun"?)
First female soldier killed in action ! It was obvious but my bet was more like 2 episodes later.
Shakti lost her mind after going through war for too long, it seems. Someone needs to take her place as the baby caretaker.

About the fact Helen died early, before the audience got attached to her, I am supporting ZetaZaku's answer. There is still a bad thing in her death: the way her comrades reactions are described. It's good that they care about it (especially coming after ZZ) but the dialogue, music... simply the overall direction of those scenes is clearly too much in the way it handles it (it even looks like it is trying to reach us, wich it should not).

5/5 More to come about Uso's father? (an engineer probably? XD) Also, Uso's mother is named Miguel, like Nanai from Char's Counterattack?!


@Sapewloth Shakti being a potential baby killer is one of the many unintended running gags of this show. A last thing: this episode will be repeated over the show a few times.
"epidemia of Zet stupidity" , I hope you have some more of this kind in stock. I'll be waiting for your imminent reactions.

I didn't really understand what the fuck was happening this episode.

Shakti what the fuck? I am as mad about the fights destroying nature as you are but damn, girl. Her shenanigans could've gotten her, the baby and others fucking killed. The new BESPA woman murdered two civilians in cold blood for no goddam reason? Odelo beating the shit out of Uso because he thinks he should feel sorry for still having a family? Uso and co. crying their eyeballs out about some random hoe I can't even remember the name of? Did an epidemia of Zeta stupidity suddenly break out and infect half of the cast? Come on, show. Come on.

Best moment of the episode: Gundam destroying a bike by throwing a spade xD

Not only was Shakti doing some nonsense here (planting seeds because of a trauma, but badly executed), she was impudent enough to read Uso's letter!

Helen's death didn't have any impact at all (on me). It shouldn't, because she's just another pilot, but I almost felt like the show was trying to feed me with sorrow for her.

For some reason I really liked Roberto's seiyuu, just ranting with a grandpa's voice xD
