"The New Mobile Suit V2"

Ok, the scene w/ Lupe & Uso bothers me, what the hell were they going for? Was it some kind of poor attempt at humor, misguided torture, or is she a pedo? That was some weird sh*t.

Moving on, Zanscare seriously gets on my nerves w/ their pompous & ruthless attitude. But at least poor Uso gets an upgraded mobile suit to compete w/ the weird Zanscare weapons. Hopefully with the V2, Uso will be able to push things in League Militaire's direction. Because right now they need all the help they can get.

Another major revelation is that Uso's mom is alive and is an enginer for the League. I wonder if we'll get a chance to see her. I just hope she doesn't meet the same fate as Kamille's mom.

Lupe attempted to seduce Uso I guess. And I must say this incarnation of the Haro is the most useful yet.

Uso naked with that dog struggling in that cockpit looked like a crazy bestiality show, lol.
And he actually beat that woman's breast. lol.
Also free pee pee(subs are awesome) show for the other girls.
The guy is unstoppable,. What fetish will he make come to reality next? And his just 13 years old. He will have surpassed any crazy doujin before his 20.

She wanted to test his newtype abilities into pussy licking. If he was really a newtype he would know immediately what to do. Didn't you know that is the best method of confirming a newtype?

The bathtub fight was just plane weird. Got a few chuckles out of it anyway.

So Uso's mother's last name is Miguel...

In Char's Counterattack Char was banging this chick with the last name Miguel, I wonder if Uso could be his grandson. Uso's mother is blonde too...

The weirdest fanservice ever. Very lulzy though "He bit my boob" Uso has done what no Gundam protag has done before at his age grope and bite a woman's boob. After that he was naked with his dog in a questionable position. Then Martina and her older sis sees his penis. Stay classy thar Uso.

What the fuck was Tomino smoking. The bath scene itself wasn't a problem as much the whole naked chase scene was. The Flanders x naked Uso moments were fucking gold. I couldn't stop laughing. Was Tomino depressed or on lsd?

HAHAHAHAHA out of all the things Tomino has done, this was some top level bullshit. So Uso was able to escape from a Zanscare palace full of guards naked with the help of a pet dog and mobile suit projections. I wish I knew Tomino was thinking while writing this episode.

The second half made up for it though, with the reveal of VICTORY GUNDAM TYPE 2. Damn that thing was sexy, it had laser wings n shit. Interesting, so the parents of the newtype are involved with the MS production yet again...

This might be the strangest episode of Gundam I've seen.
Uso and Lupe in the tub.
Haro and Flanders sent out to retrieve Uso.
Haro's soap bubble tricking the soldiers into thinking it's a MS even though it was produced right in front of them.
Haro's soap bubble protecting Uso in space.

The bath scene reminded me of Haman trying to seduce Judau in ZZ Gundam. Also it was implied that Lupe had done this before when she told her subordinate to prepare "the tank"; the whole getting in the tub too might be unique to this situation though.

A bath scene "to test" a Newtype? o_O Nothing against those scenes that are in every Gundam, but why did they attempt so poorly to justify it?

The Haro/Flanders duo, obviously still relevant because of children, got a nice use. I suppose the naked escape was also present for children's laugh (I would have smiled if I was still young enough)

The Victory type-2 revelation made me a bit angry: everyone but me knew. Uso talked about it so casually!


3/5 Being late on my schedule, I hope I won't get burned with too much stupidity with the next 5 episodes.


@St0rmblade Probably a cross between pleasing the "new" target audience and Tomino's will to develop his skills on women characters and themes.

A dog, a naked child and a grown woman with pedophilic tendencies? What the shit is wrong with you, Tomino? Did you get high before writing the script for this tripe? Seriously, I was talking about Zeta earlier but this is reaching ZZ levels of stupidity, and at fucking light speed. I mean, what the FuCK.

Uso is right to be angry at the Resistance guys; they all knew he was looking for his parents and could've published info about his achievements as one of the League Militaire's ace pilots way earlier, if they weren't so preoccupied with using a child for their own gain. Users and assholes all around.

edit: att least the Victory 2 looks neat.

How awesome is that Victory V2 Gundam?!?

It still makes me feel uncomfortable seeing Uso, WHO IS 13 IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, blowing someone up to kill them in war.

Almost fell off of my chair when Lupe entered the bathroom where Uso was

"What's wrong with your boob?"
"He bit it"

Just what on Earth was that episode lmao xDD It was even more ridiculous than the comedy from ZZ early episodes. I really want to know what was Tomino thinking. Did he decide to give Uso some kind of sexual education after mentally torturing him with all the deaths? First teasing from Junko, Mahalia and Peggy, than a kiss from Marbet, next the marriage thing, now this...I don't understand him. Or maybe it was some weird idea from another member of the staff...it was waaay too distinct from anything that came before.

About Victory 2: nice "wings" (out of "beam technology"?). Are they also used for acceleration?
Also, can't really see the reason for Uso to shoot the fighter when he could've just aimed at the enemy MS...and what was that sight on Gundam's eye lol

Anyway, it was definitely the craziest episode of Gundam ever, surpassing ZZ levels

Zanscare security never fails to dissapoint even futher and wtf was that bathroom scene.

At least they tried to justificate this episode as "Let him escape so he show us the way to Shakti". Unlike the previous episode wedding.

Definitely surpassed the watered down Haman Karn from ZZ.

All this discussion naturally centers on that main thing, but I have to say, "...Suzy, stop helping with the war.", is the single funniest line in this whole series to me. It's funnier than a lot of intentional humor from across the franchise. A video could be done on why it's funny, like the subversion of not just the usual expectations but also of the tropes and genre implicit to that scene. Whatever flaws inherent in the portrayal of Shakti's pacifism amidst this equally flawed entry into the franchise, it was all necessary if solely for the setup to that punchline.

Uso's naked escapades are definitely a Tomino moment. I'm starting to worry how this is becoming more and more like ZZ in tone.

Let me assume writer's thoughts...

"Uso gonna get a new mobile suit this episode, V2. It's as if he's gonna be reborn... reborn people are born naked. Hmm, then i should include a scene of Uso being naked here to symbolize that!"

So... yeah, i assume he wanted to use "Nudity" as a metaphor of "Rebirth"

Even though it's a shameless fanservice, you won't find scene like this in most anime, so i won't criticize it XD
