Overview:
Behind the scenes of the vibrant Open Campus, Suletta learns what Sophie wants to get from their duel. Nina, meanwhile, feels responsible for the situation. As they each pursue their respective desires and strategies, the battle royal-style dueling event known as the Rumble Ring kicks off.
Our Take (Spoilers):
Just a warning I can’t really go into how this episode changes absolutely everything for the series moving forward without going into spoilers. So you have been warned!
I was wondering if it would be addressed how Suletta and Eri kind of look different but not only that the name change. It also seemed like Suletta had no recollection of what happened in the past to her but now it seems like we might have some clarity on why. Turns out that Eri is IN the Gundam, now I don’t know how or what that means but it seems like the operating system that Suletta keeps calling her family is in fact Eri. Now of course this is messed up but it is exciting because that means we are getting into what makes Gundam great… how absolutely bonkers and messed up it can get.
All it took for everyone to realize the two new Earth girls were the terrorists was for them to show up in their mobile suits and start killing people. I have to say that everyone taking part in a duel realizing they might die when their cockpits start getting targeted was a bit more haunting than I thought it would be. After the disappointment of the last episode, I think we are firmly on track for some awesome Gundam moving forward.
