Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

The scene focused a lot more on Hush than it did Mika. The cinematography and even the inner thoughts. Mika showed development by speaking out that Tekkadan (and especially he) need to continue Orga's orders - but he still focused on being the "blunt instrument" you mentioned. Meanwhile, l...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Mecha Thread Mk III

I only noticed when I re-watched that the blade he tossed away was already broken - it happened when Bael and Kimaris clashed and he stabbed Kimaris twice - one in the hand and the other in the main body. It seems that the blade stuck in the main body was broken before he could remove it.

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Mecha Thread Mk III

Bael's swords were breakable after all - proves they are just extremely durable

Once broken, McGillis lost his composure. Perhaps he shouldn't have thrown away his other blade.

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

Ultimately Hush was recognized by Mika not only as someone to protect but as a capable comrade hence why he "left that area to Hush" eventhough he knew he was dead/dying. Ultimately he was recognized as a capable pilot. I thought Mika was just saying nice words that one would say to a dyi...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

I would say that the point of his character arc was a tragic, visceral demonstration that the romanticized, fanfic-y notion of "Anyone can become an ace pilot!" is simply not true. It takes talent, skill, and battle sense, all of which Hush lacked. Is Hush's status of becoming a human wal...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Mecha Thread Mk III

Is it me or did McGillis fire his wing binder cannons at the Kimaris Vidar at the end of their duel (after being impaled by the drill)?

I'm curious to know what rounds it was firing. It didn't seem to be vulcans as the port size may indicate.

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

I feel bad for you guys. I haven't been this engaged with a Gundam show in a long time. It's too bad it's falling flat for you guys. I hope nothing like a redo happens. Because that sounds awful. This is the path we've been going down since the beginning of the season. I agree Gundam IBO is the fir...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

Shocker episode for me! I never expected McGillis to die before he even got the chance to face off against Rustal. I'm disappointed that all he did with Bael was slice and dice....really, no ranged weapons at all? I'm sure it has electromagnetic cannons. Still, he went out in a blaze of glory. Rusta...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Mecha Thread Mk IV

Fair points but there's also been sometime that's passed - as evidenced by the return to Mars from Earth and Rustal was still on his way catching up to them.

If Flaurios won't be repaired then what was the "new" mecha/Gundam silhouette teased a few weeks ago?

Has anything been announced about Julieta getting a replacement mobile suit or will her Reginlaze Julia be repaired/retrofitted? I'm obviously curious if she will be piloting a repaired Flaurios

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

Entirely possible that McGillis did more than just switch clothes when he left the base to "check on something". He may have been predicting they'd seek assistance from Admoss at some point. That's basically what he did to manipulate Tekkadan and other forces in season 1 Otherwise, McGilli...

Re: Gundam Vs. Series Discussion Topic

I've heard talk that there's going to be 3-on-3 battles, but not sure whether it'll become the new standard or if it'll simply be an alternate mode. I've also been told that now matches won't even start until there's a full room, unlike Full Boost where they'd dump you into side-matches with bots u...

That's very interesting

Does that mean there is now a choice between having a 2 or 3 suit team?

Thanks for sharing

The cost system has been confused. It's changed from the 6000 total right?

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

I'm not even sure that Ride and Chad will make it back to the base and if they don't....then how will the rest know of Azee's offer to help? Tekkadan's survival is riding (pun intended?) on them being able to escape via that tunnel. That tunnel doesn't look large enough to transport the Gundams though

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

Kudelia would support them - assuming Rustal isn't planning to make an example of her too. Admoss most likely has not cut ties with Tekkadan publicly and it's probably too late to do that now

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

I agree - there isn't a "nice ending" in store for the Tekkadan team however it's likely that Astra and Kudellia will be spared....unless Rustal is really a ruthless bastard I found it interesting that McGillis said "Goodbye Tekkadan" when he saw Orga and the others had broken pa...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

So what are the chances that McGillis was the one who orchestrated that attack? He's the only non-Tekkadan member that knew that Orga is even out there and he has command of some soldiers still. And he was the one talking about Mika being without his own direction without Orga and tried to even &qu...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV

I doubt that Dainslefs can be used that easily in atmosphere. Those huge cannons would be difficult to manipulate under gravity.

Even Flaurios had to transform and brace itself before it fired its cannons
