Why are you all suddenly three feet tall? |
Diva continues to fly through space, as the "mysterious soldier" takes a shower, puts on cologne, and congratulates himself on being awesome. Cue opening. (Seriously.)
In the hangar, Flit plugs the AGE unit into his Haro to upload the combat data to the AGE system so the AGE Builder can make him more hax weapons later. He says it's his duty, making Emily worry that he sounds too much like a soldier. Dique finally realizes that Nora's really gone and wonders about them and his parents. Flit says that they can ask Grodek about them, and they go to his room, but he blows them off and tells them to ask the other crew about it.
You look strange without your hat |
...What is up with that guy? |
Woolf takes an early lead, but Flit starts getting used to hsi movements and starts closing the point gap. After a few minutes, their battle is interrupted by the arrival of another UE Gafran. The two struggle for a moment over who gets to attack, but Flit eventually gets ahead, blinds it with the training gun, and rushes it with the beam dagger. Just before he hits the unit, Woolf notices something unusual and knocks him away from the Gafran. The two take cover behind an asteroid, and Woolfe points out a gigantic UE ship that Flit didn't notice.
It's so easy to miss |
Damn it Woolf, let me stab it! |
The writers want to make me look like the bad guy |
Next up, Emily. She's suddenly concerned that Flit "sounds like a soldier" because he's talking about his duty with the Gundam, and wanting to fight. His entire character background so far is wanting to use the Gundam against the UE! This sort of thing should be normal for him! Then forcing Flit into a duel for the Gundam because she doesn't want him piloting. Because if you take away his entire reason for living, everything will be all flowers and sunshine, right?
Third, Dique. If you're going to be super concerned about your parents and whatnot, you should have gone into the core to start with, or transferred over when it was still hooked up to the Diva.
Next, the UE. Their one scouting (?) unit encounters two mobile suits, and takes a little damage. Does it call for support? Of course not. It stays still for several minutes, then... uses its beam saber to clear its visor? Then, when multiple units engage Woolf, they don't send a couple more after what should be a super-high priority target? The Gundam has already destroyed more UE units than the rest of the Federation combined, and they just let him fly around unhindered? Or heck, send a few units to sink the Diva. Oh well, Grodek figured them out, so with a little luck, maybe we'll find out next episode.
And finally, Flit. He's still a kid, so he gets a pass for being constantly baited by Woolf. However, when he reconnects with Diva after being sent back by Woolf, he starts screaming for the DOTS Rifle, without explaining why. For all they knew, he wanted to kill Woolf or something, and they sent it anyway? No, it's not "Send me my gun, oh, btw, there's UE all over the place", it's "There's a huge UE ship and lots of mobile suits, send me my gun."
