| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh silly Sayla. Captain heard your conversation. Nice backstory for the brother and sister though. I want more clarification of newtypes though... |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Indeed... I hope they explain what the hell is a newtype. |
| So Amuro's all psychic now? 0o |

| Ok am I the only one who missed the memo? What the hell is a newtype and since when does Amuro know he's all super-powered and stuff... |
| Amuro gained some psychic powers? Heh? |
 |
| I'm guessing Newtypes are pretty much the same as G00 Innovators.. |
| I do have to say even with pre knowledge of what a New Type is...it's not exactly sprung out of nowhere. There have been subtle hints thrown all around for the past ten or so episodes. Amuro randomly knowing exactly how missles will go, Amuro fighting ten Doms and wining, Amuro meeting Char, ect ect ect. |
| I know I'm pretty hazy on what a Newtype is from the context of this show sofar, but the basic idea should be common knowledge for animu fans who have seen every sci fi cliche done a million times. Its like mitochlorians in Star Wars or coordinators in SEED or something like that |

| Amuro's being an esper explains a lot but it's more than a bit sudden. |

VictimOfFate said: Amuro's being an esper explains a lot but it's more than a bit sudden. It really isn't. It's been foreshadowed to hell and back the last ten episodes. Great episode. Loved the sound effects at the end there it came off as somewhat unsettling when Amuro and Lahla found one another. |

| Swordplay in this episode was badass. M'Quve's battle was cool. |
| Sleggar dies, so Bright immediately takes the opportunity to flirt with Mirai now. I've always thought of them as together for whatever reason, but it still feels weird. I guess the dub's voice acting delivers the lines too forcibly. Bright's voice is better suited for the commands and diplomacy. Oh, is the Indian psychic girl /actually/ psychic? Lila, I guess, is her name. Amuro is actually psychic, too! He has the spidey sense-thing going for him and everything! It's organic enough, I guess, but psychic abilities do not seem to fit the series at all.It might work well after more is revealed, but it still feels like a random mechanic. Anyways, that's why Charr has this Lila person around - so he can train his own psychic pilot like Amuro. I wonder if the final epic fight will be between Amuro and Lila, then. Enemy mobile suits being able to communicate telepathically would be potentially cool. I'd rather have him fight Charr, though. Scenes with Amuro and Charr are too much awesome. Speaking of which, Charr's charisma (oh gosh, no pun intended) is insufferable. He always smiles like that. He's so perfectly gracious. Can't wait for more Charr and Sayla drama! |
 |
| The tension in this episode was genius. I've been getting an unsettling vibe as well for the past couple of episodes.. |
| So they finally just come out with it. There has been nothing normal about Amuro's abilities since he started piloting the gundam when the series started, and there's been plenty of foreshadowing about him being a newtype. Earliest I can recall is Mitilda (or someone else speaking for her, I forgot) mentioning he might have "psychic abilities". Not to mention how ramped up those abilities have become in the last few episodes. |
 |
| Ok I don't even know wtf is going on now, with psychic powers n shit |
 |
| Great episode. There was so much tension in this episode. I'm expecting a lot in the last few episodes. |
 |
| Gyan vs. Gundam was an excellent fight. Too bad M'Quve was no match for Amuro who is now a Newtype. Did anyone else notice the animation and drawings in this episodes were much better than before¿ |
| Another amazing episode!! Pure action!! Glad Frau Bow and Amuro are now talking again. It seems Amuro is much more mature now. He may regret not spending too much time on Frau in the near future. And no one commented Sayla's bath time!?!?! It was close to seeing her full naked body!!! M'Queve it's not running anymore. I actually thought Char and him will double team Amuro which would be unfair. I'm glad Char let them be and see who can win one on one. For someone who escape the battle of Odessa, he got owned pretty quickly and badly the moment he step into the ring with Amuro. So M'Queve know this type of people?? I'm guessing they are experiment or just plain gifted? And what was the thing he was saying to give Kycilia? That glass thing that he always holds during his break time? And wow Amuro is now a psychic?? Maybe Matilda is right on how Amuro is an Esper :) Seems Lalah and Amuro has the same brainwaves. Char would want an explanation on this! We're getting closer to the end T__T It does feel rush, i wouldn't be surprise if they kill Hayato on the next episode or two :( Can't wait for it though!!! |
| lol, I love how they keep calling it the "Texas Zone" XD Whoa! Check out that Sayla fanservice! The battle this episode was pretty exhilarating. Not sure how I feel about the mystical powers being added into the storyline here... seems kind of out-of-place with the rest of the series. |

| That battle was pretty intense. Too bad it took this long for the battles to be this decent. |
  |
| Summary of the last few episodes: *pew pew, space fights!* Can't say the show is particularly strong right now. The Newtypes are peaking my interest, though: I don't mind combining my sci-fi with a bit of fantasy (after all, the Mynovski particles are already fantasy enough ;p) So yeah, looking forward to see how this concept gets worked out. Glad to see creepy-as-hell M'quive (however it's spelled) is dead now - and I'm curious about what is so important about that vase! There are still two characters that need to be killed and six episodes to do it in. I hope the ending of this show will be good... The Ending is Paramount. |

| I don't know what new types are, but the psychic-like abilities have been foreshadowed a lot. I'm surprised anyone is just now noticing it and thinking it doesn't fit with the series. I was thinking the same thing many episodes ago, but I've already grown accustomed to the idea since it's been here for a bit. Amuro and Lalah's "meeting" was kinda creepy. I think the OST did a really good job here. Also, I don't think Char knows Amuro is like Lalah. He might treat the Gundam even more gravely if he did know that. |
| And finally the word Newtype enters the public domain. Oh Mquve...your vase was a piece of junk. |
 |
| Episode that marks the starting point where it begins to circulate the concept of New Type and voices on the Flanagan Institute. Clash between Amuro and M'Quve nice enough, ditto for the clash between the White Base and the enemy, the final part of the episode quite charming, who knows what hides Lalah and history that ties her to Casval. |
 |
| That sure was an intense lightsaber fight! And quite the explosion! Let's see what happens next. I do wonder what's up with the whole telekinetic stuff though. |
 |
| Definitely one of my favorite episodes so far and a big step up for the lackluster ep 36. Not sure how i feel about amuros new power Excited for Sayla and Char next episode! |
| M'Quve pretty much did everything you could do to try to take down Gundam and it didn't work. Amuro Ray Kill Count: 2 Dom kills, 1 Gyan kill; 3 kills total this episode 69 kills total |
| One of my favorite episodes of the series. The battle between Amuro and M'Queve was so damn good. The background music set up an intense atmosphere.. that was such a perfect touch. |
| Well,that really explains a lot,amongs other things also why Amuro recognized Char at Side 6. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Trippiest episode yet. |
 |
| We've been going to the 'supernatural' for the past few episodes? I thought Gundam is all about grounded action, Mechas fighting each other with beam rifles and lightsabers? |
 |
| Since I watched the first two movies, I know what a newtype is. Kinda late at this point, the movies explained this early and they didn't seem like an asspull. Here it was hinted but never mentioned until this episode. Another recurrent antagonist, M'Quve, is gone. RIP. |

| The show should have explained Newtypes a bit better. All of a sudden the term starts getting used without much explanation. It confused my girlfriend a bit. This episode was excellent otherwise, and I didn't expect that at all. M'Quve's aristocratic arrogance brought out his villainous intent. We also saw more of Char, Lalah, and Sayla. |
VictimOfFate said: Amuro's being an esper explains a lot but it's more than a bit sudden. I remember hearing somebody say Amuro might be an esper in the first half of the series, I just can't remember exactly when. Maybe during the Ramba Ral stuff? satyrelfheim said: The show should have explained Newtypes a bit better. All of a sudden the term starts getting used without much explanation.

We also saw more of Char, Lalah, and Sayla. I assumed that they were intentionally making it vague at first so you're like "oh, what's a newtype?" |
 |
| That really did NOT come out of left field. The term Newtype maybe, but Amuro being psychic was hinted at so often that I'm surprised some people didn't see it coming. Wasn't expecting Amuro to fight M'quve and Char at once. Of course Char survived, like he always does, but M'quve with his shitty mobile suit is gone for good this time. |
| Hm, so Char's motives seemed like revenge, but now he's more morally grey is what I'm getting? Guess we'll see. |
| Not sure how to feel about this. Definitely one of the most interesting episodes with how different it is. The tension with Amuro entering the station and the massive shadow the gundam casts is fantastic, as well as the unsettling sound and visuals when he connects with Lalah. Not sure how I feel about the show introducing psychics though. |
