"Infiltrate Zanscare"

I guess since it is a Gundam series, especially a UC one, that Uso has to do something dangerous and probably against orders for what he feels is right. Wow, I'm going to have to add those poor trainees to my list of worst pilots. We get an interesting look at the inside of the Zanscare capital and actually see the Queen running around in street clothes. What?

Also, I just thought about something. I'm guessing that since Tomino couldn't have his Gundamjacking in a colony this time, he decided to do an infiltration episode in the series. They make it look way too easy to get into the enemy's capital.

Lol, seriously, this is why Tomino's one of my favorite directors! His small infusion of silliness into everything, while maybe detracting from the serious tone of the shows, is really pretty funny and I think worth having.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

This to me was one of the better episodes. I love space battles though so I'm a bit biased.

Another insect-based model, it was weird and I don't see any valid reason for its design (like the motorbike MA).
The operation itself was rather interesting, and the experiences inside the colony will certainly be worth the trouble, especially seeing Maria xxxa xxxa wandering incognito. Maybe is she less blind than I thought.

4/5 The yellow jackets rookies were so laughable.

It had several precedents. All in the same series. And as much as some of those ZZ episodes were fun or interesting in some scenes, they all suffered from the same idiotic problems: Judau, the Newtype hero has basically the strongest "aura" of all UC heroes and shares a relatively strong NT connection with the ennemy leader. He goes in ennemy territory, is sensed by the ennemy. When an infiltration is decided, who do they send knowing the Zeon chief is there? The hero again, who is obviously detected, etc.
I almost forgot that Seabook in F91 returns secretly in his home colony, made ennemy capital, to find his girlfriend back among other things.

That insect MS was so dumb, I couldn't take the fight seriously at all. Reminded me of the freaking Zakrello.

The infiltration was ridiculously easy, and it was indeed not the first time we had that kind of stuff in a Gundam show. I didn't mind too much though, since it was clearly set up in order for Shakti and co. to meet up with the group again.

Martina's illness appeared out of nowhere and felt like a plot device, honestly. Not that it was used in a bad manner, though. The bug theme was amplified by that weird orange MS lol (just like in the OP). Also Haro's still doing a few useful things.

P.S. Uso is a space immigrant, why did Odelo say that it was "Uso's first time in a space colony"?

Another good episode. Some plot devices, but it wouldn't be Gundam without those.
Also CBT gets inflicted on the Victory... damn.
