Could have sworn we agreed on “killing at a twelfth grade level” for the title. Although the newt one might be better.

According to a post on GundamInfo, the GundamInfo simulcast of the series will be exclusive to Asia and parts of Oceania, with the worldwide simulcast being exclusive to CR.

the more obvious complication is whatever revenge scheme suletta's mum has in the works

Pretty sure Suletta's mom killing Miorine's dad would make her more attracted to Suletta.

I feel like it's quite possible Guel was adhering to some code of "honor" and just shooting near Aerial until he saw it make a move. He hits dead on exactly when the shield is raised, and it looks like he fired a stronger beam that time?

I get the sense Guel has always seen kindness as weakness because that's what his father taught him. Suletta has blown his goddamn mind and he's in totally uncharted territory.

Gruel.

Also a fun little thing I noticed is how Suletta speaks differently to her mom than to strangers. Much more casual and confident.

Her mother is the only person she actually has a lot of practice speaking to.

This isn't exclusive to G-Witch but I get annoyed when there's obviously english writing on the screen and the subtitles still feel the need to reiterate it. It's not the 90s anymore, we can read English with a much smaller chance of it being Engrish.

It's possibly that they grabbed the spot where the Japanese subtitle would be and filled it without thinking about it.

Didn't one of the interviews suggest the prologue was written after the main thrust of the plot was decided? We probably shouldn't speculate too much based on anything in it.

If we do somehow have a "Suletta isn't Eri" thing I'm gonna assume it plays out more like Hallelujah/Allelujah rather than being actually separate.

I feel like at this point photon torpedoes and/or trans-am are the only real upgrade routes left. Aerial could easily be an end-of-series Gundam for SEED or AGE or something.

The ability to use the bits as an I-field and weapons simultaneously is kinda OP, though. Like imagine how boned a hypothetical Pharact without bits would have been.

Kinda feels like Aerial went for the pilot kill and then went "Oh uh wait, this is a duel..." and half-assed blowing off the horn.

I think it/they was/were pissed about Elan trying to snipe one of the bits. They wanted to give him a near death experience too.

Tae posted:

I mean, we saw that 30 years ago in char's counter attack. This is only the franchise catching back up to the peak of Nu Gundam.

Unlike Nu, Aerial can refuel its bits. So it's more of a Hi-Nu. Also I don't think the Nu's funnels could form the shield and shoot at the same time.

When did that episode confirm genetic modification if not full on cloning?

Yeah pretty sure that's just really good plastic surgery.

It does confirm memory modification IIRC, which fits with the OP having a line about "the memories sleeping inside you" with respect to Suletta.

It's worth pointing out that being connected to GUND brought out Elan 4's suppressed memories. (Specifically, the vision of the birthday candle). So an easy explanation of the giggling stuff is that it's Suletta's suppressed memories of being Eri being transmitted along the GUND link to Elan.

Doesn't the English translation of the OP literally have a line about "the memories sleeping inside you" sung from Aerial to Suletta?

I'm thinking blue permet lines is "download" compared to red's "upload" color.

Eri was sending data to Lfrith, rather than the normal receiving data.

We don't actually know what the deal is with that, but it's definitely more complicated than just "Suletta's doing her own piloting now".

But when I say Suletta's relying more on the bits, I'm talking about stuff like the Darilblade fight where she was getting almost overwhelmed in melee and even had trouble with it at longer ranges. In general, most of her accomplishments have been down to the bits; she seems to be generally pretty bad with the saber, with the rifle, and with dodging.

I'm not saying she's a terrible or incompetent pilot, but it seems pretty clear that she wouldn't be Holder material in a Dilanza or Demi Trainer. She can certainly handle them well enough to do basic tasks, but all of her victories have been reliant on using the bits to overwhelm the opponent, except for whatever GUND Format Fuckery happened in the team fight.

Suletta didn't do that bad in the Daribalde fight, she would have won in the rain at one point if the beam saber had an anti-slip grip. She also presumably is the one who came up with using the chest to break the antenna.
