"Mother or Shakti?"

The motorad fleet is STILL rolling across North America & killing everything in sight. But the League Militaire and Federation are giving them hell. Meanwhile, the game of hot potato with Shakti continues. As Uso's mother helps them escape, not giving a thought to the possibility of her being captured again.

Finally a great episode, Uso's mother has the guts. She had to sacrifice herself again for Shakti.... I can't see a good ending for them...

I agree with OP though, this game of hot-potato with Shakti is getting kind of stupid, if she gets captured again in the future I will hate this series.

Uso playing with Karl's hand while they're trying to space. It was so random, but so cute at the same time :3

Poor Odelo. I guess he went crazy when he saw he killed that girl...

And whoa, Uso's mother is amazing!

yeah shatki getting captured and then saved is pretty tedious but who cares in this case, this was one of the best episodes in the series, also can i mention i cracked a huge smile when uso without hesitation tried to kill katejina, glad to finally see hes realized she is one of the most evil people in this series.

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

Up to this point, what purpose did that toddler, Karlmann, serve? Shakti's shenanigans almost always puts him in danger. I mean, what was she even thinking? Her mother couldn't do anything to stop Zanscare, what can she do? Talk-no-jutsu her uncle and the rest of Zanscare?

A good infiltration episode for once ! And a very funny play on the traditional Gundam lack of security !

So glad someone (Odelo) was able to tell Shakti about the uselessness of her plans.

5/5 Now that Shakti's wanderings have finally generated a good episode, time to let go the concept, please.

Looks like the Federation coming into the game will be the trigger to end the series, they emphasize their importance so much. Until then, I suppose the story will simply be "wait and fight a few battles".

She never learned about who is really ruling Zanscare.

For once the infiltration made sense on both sides of the conflict, with realistic levels of tactics and security.

Holy shit though, Shakti needs to stop getting her ass captured and taken back every other episode, this is seriously getting tedious. Aside from that it was an excellent episode, and the suffering was great (if you can even use such a word to describe it). Seeing Uso in despair is as painful as ever, and I'm very worried about his emotional and psychological health, especially as a Newtype, who are known for their hightened sensitivity. I hope he won't end up like Kamille.

At this point Shakti naivety is beyond stupid now, she's seen and experienced more than once that she has no say or impact on the decisions that Chronicle will make. Yet she still saying she wants to try change her uncle's mind.

Even Suzy has shown way more maturity and foresight than Shakiti, I don't want Tomino was trying to go for with her character coming off as unintended hated character.

Hopefully she's grows a bit.

Damn, what a fantastic episode! Uso's mom is unreal and Katejina still remains a massive bitch.

I'm with ya'll about Shakti being super annoying in this episode. Although to her credit, she did finally realize there was zero point in trying to persuade her uncle from stopping the Zanscare attack on earth.

Is this the first Gundam episode where the Gundamjacking was planned? Nice idea, and indeed a good infiltration. Lol'd when Karl was just thrown into the Gundam with someone's clothes.

By the way, was it implied that Odelo accidentally killed the girl from laundry? Or was she just a casualty from some explosion?

Those battleships have plot armor, before Uso left, he could have at least put some holes in this ship! It's the biggest threat, but....
