Tomino doesn't really do the whole Gundam vs. Gundam thing. If the Capitol Army does get a G-Selflike (a mobile suit from the Rose of Hermes), then I'm sure it wouldn't look like a Gundam. I think there's going to be more for Luin than being a typical mask asshole.

Also, I want to add, religion was really never a concept explored at all in UC. Anyone else think they were involved in, or a product of the

Hathaway's Flash was actually the first to have Gundam vs Gundam, which even predated Stardust Memory.

I suppose there was Mark II vs Mark II before that.

What's this talk of cannibalism, I've tried reading through the forum but I'm still confused, from what I got some group of people were set aside as emergency food? Can anyone elaborate? Thanks.

So... I just blasted through 7 episode of this show and I love it. Sure the show started out rather weak and I was a bit cautious with the announcement that the show would be "kid friendly", but the 7th episode hooked me to the series. This is not a show for kids, seriously, if my kids watches this show, they will start to ask about all the deaths and why... Holy mother... If Japanese kids takes deaths so easily, I say kudos, but maybe not for my kids. The G Self googly eyed design is definitely aimed for the kids, but the body counts says otherwise, it's a killer teddy bear (like Ted).

I like how the show really harkens to the Tomino shows with lots and lots of explanations, which some might not find it enticing. All in all, the G and Build Fighters complement each other well. Plenty of spirited young people screaming their aspirations on a flashy mechas with optional deaths.

It's all from an earlier interview that Tomino gave. It hasn't been revealed in-series yet.

According to the TV ratings, there are no kids nor teens watching this show... So there :wink:

There's always Build Fighters Try. Every show can appeal to a different age group.

Another pretty good battle this episode. And they finally said what a Kuntala is. It only took 5 seconds to do it. Could have done that earlier.

Also decapitated hippos are hilarious, apparently.

Through the start of the series I had an ominous feeling that something awful was going to happen to Bellri's mother but...
Spoiler
looks like she's about had enough with the Capital Army and its belligerent escalation, and chose to defect to be with her son. I can see where Bellri gets his precociousness and quirky personality from.

Also, confirmation that people use SU-Cord as a prayer/cuss, like Jesus or God. I'm still reasonably certain that the SU-Cords are actually whoever lives in Tosugawa. Raraiya might be one.

Anyone think Raraiya and Klim Nick will be a thing?
