| This episode is a good example of how the creators of this anime are very weak in terms of science fiction writing. The conflict between Spacenoids and Earthnoids is not well thought out. It's a great source of conflict that has been key to the Gundam franchise, but it is not well thought out at all in this series. This can be best seen by the test. Learning to operate land bound mobile suits through a minefield has no practical use for space so the test itself is stupid. Those born and raised in space would have little, if any, experience operating in such a large and rocky location. Those from Earth would have a serious advantage because it test the ability to operate in Earth-like conditions. A better test would be maneuvering through a course in outer-space. That would be a test were Spacenoids would have a clear advantage because they would have grown up with opportunities to do similar things in similar conditions. The people from Earth would struggle because they have not grown up in a 0g environment. This anime has not given a good reason for why the school is in space in the first place. Their training would be much cheaper and better if done on Earth because nothing they've done is unique to space. This anime has already shown that those from space own the factories and pretty much rule Earth, so they could do the same with the school. This story would also be more comprehensible if it clearly presents itself as a future where a Zeon equivalent won the war and space now rules Earth. It would make the situations of those from Earth much more understandable if that school trains the military that oppress those on Earth. |
| Chuchu K.O'ed that first girl damn! Yaay Mercury finally joined Earth's house. |
| "Space Capitalism kills Earthian workers", wow i didn't expect a sign this political. Chuchu's punch was so satisfying, those girls totally deserved a lesson, maybe non with violence but they surely are annoying. i like how the main cast is forming, each character is well defined. |

| Class warfare is the topic, and it's interesting to see that the space people are socially above the Earth people. Usually the opposite around. It reminds me of The Troubles and the way that the social hierarchy worked there despite economic problems creating another set of deliminators. Same thing here with Suletta as a low-class Spacian. |
