To be fair, it's not like that was her call, but yeah, Mika's totally justified in not wanting to play their game, it's been survival for him since day one. Pride is a luxury Tekkadan can't afford on their mission to get Kudelia to her destination.

[@cherrybomb0388]

Hardly, this bitch talks about fighting fair but last time they met she attacked a mobile worker because she knew their leader was in it. Fuck her, Mikazuki is totally justified if going all out, no warning.

[@farkhanplanet8304]

[@psychogunner7062]

I love the contrast with this duel and the first one with Crank
When fighting Crank, he showed actual skill, and Mika was far more respectful to him. He even replied with his name when Crank gave his own. Overall, Mika might have disliked his speeches, but showed him the due
With Carta, he doesn't care. He went straight for the kill and didn't give her breathing room. For Mika, she was simply the enemy, since Gjallarhorn kept taking everything from them and now had killed Biscuit. Now it was far more personal

[@Double_D__]

I'd argue that it was that Mikazuki was getting more and more aggravated with how Gjallarhorn handled itself on Earth.
Crank showed the group a FUCKTON more respect than Carta did. Crank recognized them as fellow soldiers and didn't hold back. And in his final moments, he understood that they were soldiers who signed on of their own free will, not exploited children who couldn't handle themselves.
Meanwhile, Carta treated them as impertinent children to be "taught some manners," no matter how many times Tekkadan handed her shit back to her on a silver platter. From start to finish, she was too busy posturing and expecting them to follow her rules of combat despite the fact that Tekkadan had never shown themselves to do stuff like that, and they had proven time and again that their will to fight demanded respect.

[@conradpham]

Nah he has huge beef with her

[@Chinesetakeout382]

Crank also recognized he was fighting children, didn’t talk all high and mighty over them, and ultimately disliked that they had to get involved.
Carta attacked and killed a member of their family, showed no regrets about killing a child and a member of their family, isn’t really that skillful and had the audacity to request a duel, not as equals, but from a place of superiority. Which is why crank’s duel ended swiftly and respectfully, and Carta’s was a brutal humiliation through the whole thing.

[@kerbodynamicx472]

@@Double_D__ Crank is one of few opponents that Mika respected. He treated the child soldiers of Tekkadan as his equals, as warriors who fight for change, fight for hope, and fight for their own will. Crank accepted his defeat at the hands of Mika, and even his death as he can no longer go back.
To the contrary, Carta was seeking to squash an easy target to boost her reputation, but Tekkadan is no easy target. She asks for an even fight when she's on the losing side, but had no problem fighting Mika 3 on 1 or destroying a mobile worker with her MS. She can't accept defeat and that's OK, then prepare to die in glory. But she can't do that either. She said "I will not accept humiliation" and then "please help me", showing that she does not have the courage corresponding to that pride.

[@titan133760]

The actual reason why he's much more aggressive here is because she had a hand at the death Biscuit Griffon, a core member of Tekkadan, who was also a dear friend and a loving brother

[@fazadhikarizqkoswara9429]

I'd say it'll took him around 3 to 4 minutes... Hey, cut down the talk mid fight and pretty much stop switching between everyone's point of view, it'll probably 2 minutes and 30 seconds tops.
That's pretty generous for Mika and it includes margin of error on my calculations from this clip alone😂
But yes, it'll take a minute or less for him with these bunch of soldiers wanting "honor" or desired standard in a fight.😂

[@Nverdis]

You know, whether this was intentional or not, this really drives home what makes Iron Blooded Orphans unique. Tekkadan is composed of working-class, 1920s-worker-inspired orphan children. To ask them to sit there and listen to some spoiled rich noblewoman’s idea of how things should be is just plain insulting.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

True

[@asdfghjlqwerty156]

it's not really about that. she killed one of the core members of their tekkadan.
tekkadan at this point is pretty rich with backing from turbines and teiwaz. they didn't need to take the job from that old man in the train but tekkadan being tekkadan, being kids desperate to be recognized, have always ended up in a position where they have to take high risk high rewards job to get results the fastest way possible.

I think Orphans does something better than any other Gundam shows do. They convey the scene of scale and weight of the mobile suits really well. From the animation to the sound effects to the visual effects, for the first time I actually feel like these are giant 18 meter mechas clashing away at each other.

[@557deadpool]

pistendee r the lack of beam weapons helps too

[@alifpaltasya3821]

Well most of their weapons are bullet and physical weapons

[@Maramara13Fly]

I think the reason being is that, the Gundams of this series are in a way, less advance compared to the other series.
It was stated that, GMs are even more advance and stronger than Grazes and with the right pilot, can even go toe to toe with a gundam frame...
The only hightech hardware IBO for mobile suits are the ahab reactors, which are difficult to mass produce, and the AV system, which outside of Gallarjhorn, is nearly impossible to reproduce, everything else is close to our current level of technology which is why compared to 00 gundams, they move more realistically.. plus i think because animation has improved hahaha

[@GundamReviver]

The ones in wing also did this well, especially when you see the tall geese or the heavyarms fight in close combat. (though the tall geese is literally a pair of thrusters with a gundam hanging on for dear life so... Yeah)

[@MusicFan752]

@@Maramara13Fly where and who said that cause honestly I don't think it's that much of a gap between the two mobile suit lines. Plus if their nano laminate armor works with their beam weapons like with the hashimal, gms don't have as much of an edge as others would think with beam weaponry.

To me this fight stands out from other anime because the characters don’t stand around talking for 30 minutes. Mikazuki just goes straight for the jugular. Even an anime that claim to be more realistic they tend to have an Excessive amount of flourish. This fight is just quick and brutal and I find that to be refreshing.

[@iceninja1997]

The way this show conveys its feelings through fights is amazing. The moment Barbatos came to massacre what's left of Carta's squad made me feel angry in a good way. You can feel the thirst for revenge and anger the way Mikazuki went wild with its fighting style.
God, I love this series so much

[@Athrun82]

Kind of funny that Carta was still grandstanding on dueling. When they atacked the small island they landed, proclaimed loudly who they are and one of Tekkadan MS blasts at them confusedly saying "It's ok to shoot right?" which makes Carta screech.

[@claresaprama499]

Damn... that's... GORY AND BRUTAL!!! Among all those Gundam series, this is what i like.

Actually that's not the gundams real weapon , its just a replacement watch the show if you want to find out more.

[@Floraclaw]

Replacement or not, that weapon kicks ass.

[@Piper9080]

The Barbatos Gundam itself had a variety of weapons. A Mace that can shoot a little punch in the center, a cannon, a katana and a few upgrades from enemy scraps.

[@kii-bou7153]

and in season 2 Barbatos (Now called Barbatos Lupus) will have one broadsword for his main weapon,and i guess later in the series he'll have two arm attachment guns,an assault rifle (not the same one he uses in season 1),2 mini maces (apparently) and a Cloud Strife-like Sword

I am pretty sure that was actually a maintenance tool he just ripped of the train tho😂

[@mandeelyn6895]

still getting goosebumps on Mikazuki, just pure Ideology and Bloodlust plus revenge on his buddy getting killed, not my personal favorite Gundam series but Mika is my favorite MS pilot ever imagine giving him an OP MS like Strike Freedom

[@tannerbarnes7392]

It sounds cool on paper, but I don't think Mika would like Strike Freedom. That is definitely a ranged combat MS and Mika is not a ranged combat type of guy. Barbatos is perfect for him.
Nah, if we wanna talk about guys who would do work in the SF, we gotta start with Amuro.

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

The way the pilot hit the ground and went splat just being nothing more than a faint patter like a rain drop really drives in the scale of these things lol

It starts off alright, but it does get a lot better throughout, and it's easy to keep up with the story, unlike a certain show beforehand *cough*G-Reco*cough*

[@berserkchip]

striker0 Ugh G-Reco. I gave that show a chance but the dialogue was just too awkward. Idk if it was bad subtitles/translation or what, but as soon as Bellri said "Stop being pirates!" while launching randomly, I was done. Like seriously what?

[@dishantshah5965]

This is one of the few animes where realism is actually high. People die heros or villains doesn't matter. Even this scene- if it were a movie or something else, there would be a long unnecessary dialogue between the two parties, which is just stupid when you are so full of anger. This anime gives me a lot of AOT vibes thanks to the high octane action, realism and intelligent story

[@peterwhite6415]

I think thats one thing i really about IBO, it takes events and other actions seriously.
The moment Tekkadan finished their jobs (both bringing Kudelia and escorting the Old man) they got recognize as a strong and fearsome group... however it also made Human Debris/Child Soldiers become far more common due to the whole group being 90% children or teens.
