| Man, I l just love that Gundam design used by Elan. Seriously though, it's a makeover of badass all over it. I hope Suletta knows her own limits though. I mean, duel battles are fine but sometimes, she should try to maybe do some research first before fighting. Seems she's improving herself everyday though. |

| It seems Elan series are kind of similar to Ayanami series. It's too early but a cartridge has been unloaded already. |
| 21 years time skip from the prologue. This made the theory of Suletta ≠ Eri more and more plausible. Guel camping in the forest. lmao... He went from the top student to homeless in just six episodes. Elan is kind of a clone or something similar, and there will be more of him in the future for sure. RIP Elan..... |

| Love the parallels of episode zero of the prologue with the happy birthday song from Suletta. Now that we know 21 years have passed, Suletta can’t be the same girl from the prologue and must be a clone as well. Elan’s comments last week about them being just alike really makes sense now. I think her mom was referring to arial when she talked about having faith in her daughter to win as well. I think she just views Suletta as a means to an end. Her humanity died that day. Feel bad for Elan, he really felt the difference in Suletta’s bond with Arial and his lack of a bond with his gundam. Then when he does finally make a friend, he’s replaced… hope he can break free of that cycle someday. They did my boy Guel so dirty. Had bro in the forest in a tent. but notice he still had Wi-Fi to check up on his boo’s duel lmao Fight was awesome as we’ve come to expect, definitely well worth staying up for. |

| Permet Score Four? finally they are duel on outside. That was incredible fight. so i'm assuming Sulleta won because of her bonding with Arial? Happy Birthday to you!! |
 |
| Sulleta’s wins are mad bs lol, aerial just keeps using hax op mechanics left and right. Shit was eerie af everytime they sang the “Happy Birthday” song. That ending was friggin dark ngl. RIP Elan. 21yrs time skip? Then no way in hell this is the Sulleta from the prologue, this is a clone huh? Loving the twists. |
  |
| Did Aerial just go into NT-D? Elan is most likely a Ple reference. UC Gundam fans will understand what I am talking about~ There is something I have been wondering for some time now. There are more duels than classes~ In a duel, what will happen if a beam hits the cockpit by accident? In Mobile Fighter: G Gundam, the person who hits the cockpit loses by default. EDIT: Does the school suspects that Elan is using a Gundam? Looks like we have 3 tsunderes in this series. Chuchu, Guel, Mio-Mio. |
| Another really cool duel, Aerial used a new move which was impressive. I wonder what that was. Also did Elan just got disposed off? Damn. |
 |
| Wish someone happy birthday that way, and I bet they'll lose their cool. Elan.. you've to feel for the dude. RIP. |
 |
| People die every time there's birthday song RIP Elan |
 |
| RIP Elan. His circumstances were pretty sad. Still didn’t like his attitude towards Suletta, although his jealousy is kinda understandable. Suletta takes another W. Happy Birthday songs in this anime are the announcement that someone’s gonna die at this point lol. |
| Okay, here's a theory. They say the pilot the Aerial should be 21 but Sulleta is 17. Maybe the Eri of the prologue was sacrificed to be a soul within the Gundam so it wouldn't need Sulleta to sacrifice herself to pilot it. In the light novel the Aerial describes Sulleta as a “little sister.” And the little girl in the prologue is called Eiri - Aerial. Probably not the case but this my thoughts right now. If that's the case then I'll brag about this prediction. |
| Singing "Happy Birthday" always is the best way to throw someone off. This duel had the worst prize to Sulleta for now. Get to know number 4, and the prospect of getting funds for the Earth house wasn't possible. They won the bet, at least. Well at least the episode didn't ended with Suletta meeting the real Ellan or another double. |
 |
| Bruh 21 yrs revenge? So she molded her own daughter into one of mechanized humans? Suletta is gonna bonk em all. Also poor Guel. Chasing a girl sent him from the towers to the sewers. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Bel's line dates the prologue to 21 years ago so Suletta (currently 17) can't be Ericht (4 at the time). Prospera proceeds to say she trusts her darling daughter (singular) yet when she was in a private conversation with Suletta, she says daughters (plural). So Prospera trusts Aerial, not Suletta. Furthermore, when the Pharact gets hit by the Aerial's EMP attack, it looks like Enhanced Person Number 4 can see Ericht's silhouette. (We are going the Eva route!) Enhanced Person Number 4 was surgically altered to have the same face as the real Elan in order to win duels at Asticassia (with a Gundam if necessary). Similar to how the Murasame Laboratory held Four's memories hostage, Enhanced Person Number 4 has the prospect of being given a identity if he succeeds. Our first duel outside the Front; Pharact goes all out and uses GUND-BITs. A data storm ensues proving there is at least one Gundam out there (will this be swept under the rug?). Having lost the duel, Peil dispose of Enhanced Person Number 4 in secret. I hope next episode the real Elan or Enhanced Person Number 5 shows up at Asticassia and ghosts Suletta. |

| Obiviously he's number Four... and obiviously he dies. I thoght that maybe they weren't brave enough to kill him, but they were. I'll be expcting other recycled plotlines, because when you can't make something original or outstanding, you can just make an "homage". |
 |
| Well, the battle without surprises!!! |
| Given the similarity to the original system I did expect that Elan's backers were connected to what we saw at mercury but to think that i was right. After that embarrassing loss it seems even his father has had enough of Guel. Got to admire Nika's spirit though. Even when faced with tough situations she adapts. But the stakes this time sure were high. Hmm so Elan is actually a clone of the true heir then created to test their mechs while learning new knowledge. Kudos to Suletta for trying to get through to Elan her way though. The dual between Suletta and Elan though was really something. Suletta's trust in Arial really comes into play here. The gund bits that Suletta has really is flexible in its role though. Though Suletta managed to win thanks to the memory wave that really was close. But damm poor Elan to be discarded like trash by the company as a result of his loss. Overall a solid ep that while focusing the lions share of the dev on Elan also did well to show just how dark companies can be in this age. Suletta will be devastated when she hears what happened next ep. |

| This show is a pretty solid Gundam. Entertaining and with great art and animation. That said, the happy birthday singing scene made me cringe a bit and felt silly. I'm starting to grow a bit bored of Suletta's childish/naive Gundam savant self. I know she's a "newtype" hillbilly, but I really hope they start developing her character a bit more from now and that they give a bit more variety to proceedings. Heck, have her lose a fight for once. |

| i swear this gundam is probably the best gundam series for me !!! |
| Wow, that was a really good fight with the mobility for both units as well as Elan's emotions coming through. I wonder what was what made Aerial able to escape but we'll get into that later. So long Elan, at least this version of him. |

| I think the people are overthinking it with the 21 years thing. Maybe she was referencing a different event. It was confirmed in a summary beforehand that season 1 takes place in AS 122 and the prologue took place in AS 109 and I doubt they would mislead people in a summary. With those years the age of Suletta matches up. |
 |
| Aerial can disable electronics eh it got EMP? RIP Cyber Elan damn he died badly |
| Miorine had like 2 minutes of combined screen time and was always screaming or being annoying, holyshit lmao turns out when the show is not being Utena, its kinda good |
 |
| Damn Suletta Mobile Suit's move during the duel against Elan was really something, but that ending, how depressing it is :'( RIP |
 |
| Seems like Aerial has more secrets than I thought. Suletta is not taking the strain but perhaps someone gave their lives to run the equipment without showing any signs it is a Gundam. It's a shame what happened to Alan(?). Things are going to get a lot more interesting from here on out. Just no more Happy Birthday songs please. |
 |
| I think some of you guys are misunderstanding the timeskip. IIRC it was a confirmed 13 year long timeskip. The "21 years ago" thing is likely referring to a different incident all together no? |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Eri = dead Suletta = Eri's clone Aerial = Advanced version of Lfrith with AI of Eri's personality/soulfuckery Aerial's 12 bits = Eri's previous dead clones before Suletta Suletta = clone who was released as an adult aka has mental age of a child, Tales of the Abyss style, which explains his childish behavior and ignorance Lfrith Ur and Lfrith Thorn from Gunpla promo = Gundams with also Eri's AI or/and Eri's clone pilots that's it. I solved everything. |
