Spoiler
When Asemu saved Kio he used the same move that got Woolf killed but successfully saved Kio and lived it seems he lived out Woolf's last request to surpass him as a pilot

Apparently it's supposed to be some kind of technological database or something. Not sure how that will win them the war unless it has the plans to, like, the Death Star or The Crucible or Reeeeqqquuiiiieeemmmmm!zetatype wrote:LOL, I see what you did thereschwarz ritter wrote:And Laplace's Box doesn't sound at all like something Lord Cutler Beckett wouldn't want, eh?zetatype wrote: Actually I got more of a Laplace's Box vibe with the whole cursed treasure thing.
In all honesty you do make a good point
Tip of the hat to ya
Totally agree, dude.HellCat wrote:I'm really disappointed. It's no secret I think Asemu's arc wasted time overstating his hang ups but ultimately what we got there was a young man who hated how distant his father was, looked out for others and finally found his own way, even promising his newly born son he'd always be there for him.
Now we find he's become a scruffy space pirate, apparently carries little to no concern he hasn't seen his wife or son for 13 years, avoids talking to said son in order to see how well he fights and basically does all this in the name of what sounds like a pretty piss poor plan to combat the Vagan, instead of just flat out talking to his dad and son and being upfront.
....Why am I expected to believe this is the same character who was the second protagonist?

The "war orphans" I was like... why are they in space? And then Wootbit goes and asks the same question. Everything felt explained a bit TOO fast. After spending a dozen or so episodes trying to figure out the Federation spy with a bunch of red herrings, now we don't even get the benefit of the doubt. We just get told.
And we've reached the point where a character no longer feels believable, at all.
Well, although Gundapedia question does sound stupid at first, but thinking back, it's established that the only remains found of Asemu prior to the SUPER PIRATE reunion was the AGE-2 core block and the AGE Device. So unless the EF left the core block alone on space and took only the AGE Device, which seems unlikely, Asemu does need to rebuild his AGE-2 back from scratches, without any blueprints of the machine itself. So how on earth does Asemu able to (re)built the Gundam?Compass wrote:The post-episode Gundam mechanic thing asking "Why does Captain Ash have a Gundam? You'll find out later?" made me want to head desk.
Or it could be a lot simpler and he left the Age-2 core and the Age device floating in space and faked his death with the Gundam intact.Sulendil Zeta wrote:Well, although Gundapedia question does sound stupid at first, but thinking back, it's established that the only remains found of Asemu prior to the SUPER PIRATE reunion was the AGE-2 core block and the AGE Device.

Keep in mind it is Bisidian now, not Visidian.Raptor wrote:Not a bad episode. We definitely weren't left with any doubts as to who Captain Ash was. Not even mere moments after he was shown.
Calling it now, one of three things will happen.
A: Asemu "Ash" Asuno and the Visidian Space Pirates die to save the Diva
2: The Visidian Space Pirates become the "Eternal" of this season, and accompany the Diva to the Final Battle.
Zwei: The Visidian Ship gets destroyed saving the Diva, or Asemu himself, and Asemu rejoins the Diva. If so, expect a repainting, turning the Dark Hound into the AGE-2 Woolf Hound.
-Raptor, out.
Maybe it's just me, but that entire exchange almost sounded to me while I read it like it could have come out of Red vs. Blue.Compass wrote:"Oh, they're not actually war orphans! Their families were shipped to a colony for safety!"
"Oh, and that colony is on the way to the moon!"
"Which is where we're going. On a top secret mission!"
Try reading those lines with Charlie the Unicorn unicorns in your head. Then we'll see who's crazier. Ha ha.Dark Duel wrote:Maybe it's just me, but that entire exchange almost sounded to me while I read it like it could have come out of Red vs. Blue.Compass wrote:"Oh, they're not actually war orphans!

That said, while I have not seen the latest episode yet, I do agree that there does seem to have been a lot of convenience coincidences in the story so far that...kind stretch suspension of disbelief a bit too much.
You guessed it: they can't seem to understand why there's so much hatedom for the show, and with good reason. The haters just hate it due to the character designs and nothing else. Sure, its had its fair load of crap, but the haters have really affected the perception of the show.Arbiter GUNDAM wrote: Or maybe the production team is just not putting forth the effort. I think someone posted an article over in Neo's News that the production team were upset that everybody seems to hate their show.
