I think they did this because there going to try and pair mika up with the new "princess" type character thus freeing up kudelia to be with someone else (orga maybe?).
That would be so out of no where even by a franchise that shares its standards with zeta gundam's bizarre romances. They will either make merbit orga's love interest or just not give him one altogether. Its doubtful mika will even make much progress on the romantic front given the guy's lack of understanding of the subject in addition to his increasingly poorer chances of surviving this series.
I doubt any new 'princess' would appear, especially after Kudelia was specifically refered to as the 'princess' in the 1st episode of the new season already.

Gotta agree with Mika's chances of surviving the series dropping with practically each episode (*damn*). In which case, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if he confessed on the verge of dying - probably to Kudelia (Okada is involved, and it seems to me that she usually tends to stick to the most obvious pairing more often than not, in which case Atra's chances don't look too good, if she survives at all, that is).

In any case, I'm still mostly for Mika/Kudelia, but I've started getting the feeling that Orga/Kudelia is not completely out of question either back in season 1, closer to its finish, and Mika's low chances of surviving don't help eradicate the possibility. Orga and Kudelia seem to be more or less on the same intellectual wavelenght and clearly respect each other, a nice bonus is that they'd be a very good looking couple (sorry, Merribit, Kudelia clearly has you beaten in the looks department).

The problem that I see with Merribit is that before any romance happening, she has to conclusively demonstrate that she's stopped seeing Orga as a reckless teen that unintentionally tugs at the strings of her mother instinct and makes her want to stop and protect him, and sees him as a young strong man instead, or I'd have a very hard time buying into the romance between them. From where things stood at the time of the s1 finale and the fuss that she kicked up, clearly not understanding a jack of what was going on with Orga, she fails as Orga's potential romantic partner in my eyes. If things don't change and she won't openly acknowledge Orga as an adult (he has to be at least 18, possibly older, right? And that's the age of coming of age in many countries, so he should qualify even officially) on equal footing, then I'd rather not see any romance between them, because Orga deserves better.


Ah, on an unrelated note: Gaelio is still present in the new IBO goods, should we take it as a sign that the new Masked man is really him?

I missed the series and this was a good way for it to come back. I'm especially glad about the fact that it keeps delivering on the opening front, this is 3 out of 3.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

It's finally back!
Great start, glad to see everyone together. I've been waiting so much for this season!!!
Glad to see Mikazuki with both arms xD
That moment you know that you already lost the battle when Barbatos appeared in the sky xD
I was so thrilled when Barbatos appeared in the sky, it's one of those epic moments that i get goosebumps xD

Who are you talking about? Both previews exclusively used scenes from the first episode.

Good start. Straight to the point with S1 recap and ramifications of events from S1. Nice background setting for what's happening with Tekkadan now and previewing future conflicts. If done well, S2 will wrap up what's perhaps the most substantive Gundam to date and set the future foundations for a Gundam franchise that's historically been heavy on mecha fights with people repeating dumbass slogans and with actual plot nowhere to be found.

Wouldn't be surprised if Gaelio is the masked man.

I rechecked them, too, and I don't see anyone like that either? So could you maybe specify the source, the timing, etc?

Good start, better than the start of the prequel obviously due to the show having a story base to work on :D Looks like McGillis still have battles to fight within his own circle so things should be interesting.

Good start but I liked the previous weapon that could shoot a metal bar more, it was different.
I am quite interested if Mika's condition will worsen in the future.

Good to see the 2nd season of Gundam IBO. >.<
Barbatos Lupus is badass.

Really hope that new guy Hash is not going to become a traitor...
and for the masked guy, it can be Gaelio or Ein, but leaning more towards Gaelio.

And of course, Spyair's opening sounds really cool. Can't wait to see more.

Cookie and Cracker lost a literal brother already, so they don't want to lose their figurative brother, Mikazuki.


lol the younger kids being more serious about fighting than Gintoki Saitama guy

Gjallarhorn got Nils Yajima on their side lol, I wonder if there's more to eccentric butter fly eater's past than meets the eye. Is she gonna be a character along the lines of Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV or along the lines of a Trinity sibling?

Damn, Mikazuki still knows how to make an entrance.

His new nickname of "Devil" reminds of Suzaku, from Code Geass, being called the "White Devil," lol.

Amuro Ray from the first Gundam series is called White Devil too. Asemu from Gundam Age is called the same too. It's now a Sunrise staple name apparently.

They set up an orphanage, how nice. I wonder how many of them are going to die. They're too happy and that's an indicator that something foul is about to go down.

Julietta seems like an interesting character. Can't wait to see her kill some people.

I really liked the first season, but it's been a while since I saw it. I don't remember everything that happened, so I do wish they had gone over some of it more (not necessarily upset about that though either, just wanted a little more). This episode felt kind of whatever to me. It was fine. I'm not sure I'm gonna like Tekkadan as much as a big dog instead of a little guy, but we'll see.

i also have the feeling that the new white haired guy will betray them, i don't know why.
anyway, a great fisrt episode after a wonderful season, i hope it keep up with the good things that IBO previously had.
unfortunately someone spoiled me the most important thing in this season, i hate people.
