Does he really? It sounded more like he just said what the girl wanted to hear/could understand and not that it was his personal motivation.
We have to keep the running joke up!
Well he can tell that to the judge!
Did he need to get that close to her face and sit her like that on his lap to do it?

I believe the running joke is that it was supposed to be most of the older guys who liked her (hence Chad's "I thought we were comrades"), while the younger boys liked Fumitan & Kudelia
Edit: Caption Translations
1: Fumitan - "Popular with kids"
2: Kudelia - "Popular with kids"
3: Atra - "Not Popular with kids"
4: Merribit "Others"
"But your honor, she said she was a 1000 year old drago- I mean, she said she wanted to live in a world that listened to her true desires and didn't mock her for being like 7 years old!"

Pretty good episode with some lows bits. Highlight for me is Masked Men fighting, the hype was real and Ein confirmed alive and ready for revenge. Some funny bits too with Hush annoying Mika and the whole Chad bit, but what does Orga think about this? Is he gonna die alone or what? And uh that last scene... it made me very uncomfortable.

I really thought they would kiss right then and there.
I really thought no fucks would be given.

lol, I remember someone during S1 making a joke about the Chocolate man endgame being to lower the age of consent.
But as Basileus777 said, I'm still not sold about him being a lolicon for some reason. Any other character I would believe, but given his past history of manipulations...
Orga never paid her any attention, most of the interactions came from Merribit trying to reach out to him, but honestly they came off as motherly more than anything to me. She always saw him as a kid. But shippers gonna ship.
Oh hey, Yamagi was narrating the preview, I wonder if anything will come of that.
Thoughts (in sequential order)
* Naze is so, so gonna die
* So Ein is inside that gundam. Spiffy
* Oh god, did Okawara design this thing? This gundam screams Fukada-era sensibilities. Dual fucking pistols? Come the fuck on...
* Oh hey, what's McGillis doing? Reading a book....*camera pans down* OHGODOHGODABORTABORTABORT~

Not reading the thread yet since I haven't caught up on S2; Just finished up S1 the other day after taking a break from about Episode 15 or so, I think the season wrapped up nicely and kind of question the reason for S2. None of the new characters are particularly interesting and I question their ability to not beat the exact same themes they had last season to death.
Also: Lafter, Azee and
should have died. Probably my biggest beef with the show.

Please dont let Ride get bulky. Im glad he remembers Takaki.
I guess we got this because we needed an action break. I didnt know Merribitto Orga would be noncanon.

IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Episode 35:
Such a lust for revenge... WHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!?!?!
(^Will make sense at the end of the episode)

Damn this went in a totally different direction from what I thought they would be going with the Mobile Armor. Props to the IBO team for actually doing something creative with the trope and making the history of this setting so much more interesting now.

This was kind of a frightening episode. Why turn on an unknown suit in closed quarters of your ship That was just asking for trouble. But at least they managed to live somehow.
I hope those other Gjallerhorns are defeated, all three of them + Bauduin are really annoying.
I loved the money managing part, and poor Shino, why wont he just get with Yamagi instead of failing with random girl xyz,

Age had SID, it's the only exemple I can think of.
If we are talking an none human controlled MA. Because gundam had tons of MA has enemy.
I think what makes the IBO angle here really original, is not that the MA is AI controlled, but rather that they're positioning the creation of Gundams in ancient history as a response to having to fight Mobile Armors, which is a unique spin on two things which have otherwise always existed in Gundam as complements - Mobile Armors are support/expansions for Mobile Suits, not destined enemies.
Of course I'm sure 5-6 episodes from now, we'll be back to the status quo where Mika has "tamed" the unstoppable Mobile Armor and instead of destroying it, it will dock with Barbartos as the docking add-on. LOL. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts!

That is beam weapon, right? I wonder if it'll start being used by mobile suit after this. Hopefully it's one of those ancient tech like ahab reactor that can't be replicated
It'll become a Meteor like weapon system.
It's a Nakamura Production episode. They're the backup outsource studio that handles the GBF and IBO episodes when Sunrise is out of manpower.

Wow this show just made a turn towards epicness! The last scene gave me chills! Rest of the episode was average but wow, Mika was legit shooked.
Episode 35
I'm sure it's still true that this series has avoided beam weapons until now in order to give the combat scenes a very physical, weighty, crunchy feel, but now it seems there is at least one more reason: The impact of the final scene of this episode. It is not just the power of the mobile armor's weapon that surprises, but its very nature. It feels foreign, even wrong, now that this setting has been so well-established, and lends this new enemy greater menace.

Did not expect that ending. The world of IBO is so interesting. It'd be cool if we got some OVAs of the Calamity War.
I wonder if the Ein tech they showed at the end of S1, and the hints that Ein is part of Vidar now, are elements of the Mobile Armor tech from the Calamity War. The way they animated the Mobile Armor awakening scene reminds me quite a bit of what Ein was like when he was fused into the giant Mobile Suit. Maybe it's not AI after all?

Whoa, the end of ep 35. Metal Gear RAY and beam weaponry!?
I definitely love the idea they're doing with Mobile Armors being the reason Suits were created. Such a unique idea and twist on the usual gundam tropes. Plumas definitely seem like they're the G-Bits of this series and not just standard funnels/bits.

So it looks like Shun was right all along.

I'm happy they are fighting mobile armor because it's a neat concept.
FUCK why did they have to bring out beam weapons? I was enjoying a series without them for once.

Oh man that ending.
Were you doubting Shun?
Maybe. Remember how insane Ein was after just a few days of being a mobile suit? Now imagine that for years, or centuries, and with beam weapons and little helper attack bots.

I think it's okay if only the MA have them, gives them a real sense of threat different from the MS.
Like the MS have 'realistic' projectile weapons while the MA have these fantastic laser beam funnel technology.
Imagine if Ein is now a brain in a jar and he hacks and pilots a MA...
Let's face it, once the genie is out of the bottle in Gundam, it never goes back in. There's almost zero chance that beam weapons will be limited just to MAs moving forward. Once the technology appears on the show, it's just a matter of time before it is appropriated and used by everyone. Escalation.

Mika already has swords, they're gonna give him beam weapons within the next five episodes I'd bet money on it.
?????
I have no reason to joke about it, I've been giving you all hints to this prior and during Season 1 and 2.

They're just going to chop them off of the MA and super glue them onto Barbatos.

More After war X
With Gundam X, unmanned GX units were controlled by powerful Newtypes. This is straight up AI ala the Mobile Dolls.

You are even more right if you are talking about the guard dog of the Wing manga, Battlefield of pacifist, that happened between the series and EW. It's only job was to protect the mobile dolls factoy and it was completly AI controlled.
