Fun easter egg. The girls who Chu Chu fed were the bullies from the piloting test episode.
Those bullies are still alive? Dammit! They should’ve died during Norea’s attack on the school! Those bullies don’t deserve to be forgiven!
ChuChu didn't even bat an eye, take your tomatoes kids
And Caliban, which is a nod to a character in Shakespeare's play 'The Tempest'. In fact, WfM has taken a lot of elements from this play. For example, the protagonist of the Tempest is named Prospero, which is the basis for Prospera. Then theres Prospero's henchmen, a monstrous creature named Caliban and a fairy named Ariel.
I thought Chuchu killed one of them? lmao
@@MarxMayhemJust passed out from blunt force.
Quiet Zero was Delling's baby, Prospera probably took all the remaining staff and resources to complete it with her GUND technology.
Hiding in space is not that complicated if you avoid emitting heat or signals (correct me if I'm wrong, I mostly learn this from watching The Expanse and reading a bit about it), but it's probably something they will handwave just like they did with the Celestial Being Ship in 00
The problem is money. For a company like the Benerit Group which has been hellbent on showing a profit on every facet, QZ is a red flag for any accountant.
I mean QZ is probably running at least 50-100 Billion, considering it's size and the proprietary technologies thrown into there.
And you're telling me absolutely NO ONE didn't see a stream of money and materials to that amount and go HMMMMMMM.
I mean being able to hide it after it's build sure. But being able to hide such a gigantic project like this from any decent audit? Lol
Look episode 12 how the section all the fighting going on is floating around severed from the rest this shown when Prospera finishes talking to Suletta. Then Back to 11 this entire base build at Plant Quetta where Delling and Prospera are looking the long way down at part of it. This is roughly the same as the big section of the base that was cut loose. So basically this thing was one section of Plant Quetta they built it inside of it. As Plant Quetta is part of the Mega Corp Delling can certainly hide the thing, fund it and have a computer code that shuts down the Plant Quetta sensor and cameria's when this thing launched.
Honestly, I cannot see EVERYTHING being resolved within the remainder of this season.
Prospera might be dealt with, but there will definitely have to be at least one more season to settle all of this political drama.
Prospera won't be dealt with. She will win even if she dies.
i was right
gundam massacre alot of people
the gundam and mother wil l be suprise see sollate pilot a gundam
her enemy use salutte to end her dream,
they will be piss and regret will mother lose another child for her dream
@@truthoftheuniverse4179
> people
They were SAL soldiers, the organization behind the Vanadis incident, Dawn of Fold, who are actively hunting witches like Eri and Suletta while still funding their own fucked up gundam program in secret. They deserve nothing.
My hopium:Shakespeare's the tempest has a happy ending
My bet: big tragic finish. No need to wrap things up if they're all dead ☠️
@@stevenrosello4948 Well if Prospera turns the entire human race into Permet Beings like Eri they will all be sort of dead.
So, the finale for this arc will be Suletta doing the trench run inside the Death St-Quiet Zero
I fucking hope so! Then her father comes to her in the Data Storm saying "Follow you Instincts Suletta."
Quiet zero is only effective against the fronts (space colonies) because all the technology there is pemet reliant. In gundam, resource asteroids are carefully taken from asteroid belt and placed at the lagrange points within the earth/moon system for materials for colonies. you could hide quiet zero among the debris there or it has optical camouflage
Yeah the students picked up on that. Earth weapons are mostly permet it seems also, as evident in Quinharbor. I was thinking DoF suits would be unaffected, but they probably have permet too. And yeah, space is pretty vast so hiding Quiet Zero isn't too much of an issue, but I still found it pretty funny with how big the thing is. I guess if it isn't active it doesn't have that red glow on it also, so it's just a big floating thing
@@RevoSKL Quiet Zera was at Plant Quetta Delling and Prospera were looking at it. Like the section that got cut loose in the fighting this was inside another section that opened to launch it and with Selling a sensors and camera at the Plant shut down when it launched.
I for once welcome our AIrial overlord. May she bring peace and prosper upon the human kind.
it's do or die for suletta, either she has it or not! Mio is on the brink of despair and is nearly ready too jump! Lauda is only listening too the voice's in his head due too everything that's happened he thinks EP 1 Guel is prime peak Guel! The peil snakes seemingly never shed they're skin! Guel, Sarrius, and MR 2 are trying too stop the fire's, Meanwhile Elnora has a HIGHLY advanced drone army with an imtimidating space fortress to boot and is ready to finally settle the score!!!!!!!
The solar system is BIG. It is trivial to hide something. It’s harder to find it if you lose track of it
And us Humans can't really understand how big the solar system is let alone stuff like fastest we could reasonably get a spaceship to nearest star 4.2 light years is 70,000 years. Source Astronomy Magazine.
I mean, I know Benerit was also fronting money for Quiet Zero, and that space is big, but still. Kinda funny they kept it under wraps with how much went into it.
probably stored/hid it under the guise of a newly-constructed front/R&D space station
The problem is the fronting of money for a project like that without an audit or a question is suspect. Benerit is a company, it has to run a profit in order to continue.
I mean the Gerald R Ford, the newest aircraft carrier, runs for 13 billion dollars, and almost every single facet is run over with a fine-toothed comb. QZ based upon its size and prototypical tech probably runs at least a 50 billion if we user today's money.
Yet everyone and their dog is surprised by QZ? It doesn't add up.
Its why most super weapons at least have some explanation in Gundam that they are governmentally funded (except you 00, I don't even know what the hell you are), which can be at least handwaved in that government doesn't need to run a profit.
So yeah, the accountant in me is just staring at this thing wondering what sort of black magic they used to hide the money trail and explanations.
agreed esp on the 00 being a wtf blackhole of funds
@@TR-qf2gt It was right there at Plant Quetta Delling and Prospera were looking down at part of it. It roughly the size of the section cut loose and floating in the battle shown at end of Prospera's talk to Suletta.
@@DanteYuy Well SAL the investigators where following the money trail thus the money spent did out the project just too late. But these Corporate Groups are like countries and have military. So they can hide a lot more than a company can more like what a Nation can hide. And they built it slowly probably starting when Mio was small.
I really hope we get another season cause I think the remaining episodes aren't enough to give a satisfying conclusion, but that's just me.
Really liked this episode, El5n becoming even more likeable (ACTUALLY apologizing for his scumminess) and I wanted to tear up when Suletta asked him to tell her about the Elan she knew. I'm biased but I'm really happy her memories of my boy won't be dishonored anymore.
Pretty much every mainline Gundam is around 50 episodes, so we should just based on expectation
Also yeah, Elan 5 got over Norea pretty quick, I kinda expected him to be feral about it still. Apologizing to Suletta and offering her help was nice. I doubt he has any real ulterior motives, save for maybe hitting at Peil. Some rando sniped Norea and he ripped and teared him up immediately before bailing, so he got his revenge for the most part. Not sure how the Pharact is gonna play in now though since he said he refuses to pilot a Gundam
I also expected Elan 5 to be more feral about losing Norea, unless this is him trying to keep cool so he can strike at Peil and the original Elan Ceres decisively.
I wonder if they'll let him pilot a different suit or if he'll manage to sneak in somewhere and shoot people in person.
Quite Zero is Plant Quetta, that's how they "hide" it. Pretty on the nose if you realize it.
Throughout the series many people in the show had made comment how there are a lot of resources being pour into this place without anyone knowing for what purpose. Some people think this is a Mobile Suite factory and some we know of those resources are used to upgrade Aerial into Aerial Rebuild. But as turns out, overall, the resources are used to make Quite Zero.
Knowing that Plant Quetta = Quite Zero, it explain why Prospera is so furious with Shadiq in the beginning of Season 2. Dawn of Fold attack could've eliminate Quite Zero permanently. It could've killed Delling (who is the main sponsor), it could've killed Prospera (the mastermind), it could've killed Suletta (the key to Permet Score 8), it could've destroyed Aerial (the one that can make Quite Zero happen), and it could've damage Plant Quetta permanently (which mean Quite Zero can never be completed). It is ironic that Shadiq was so closed in preventing the apocalypse, and yet, because he only touched the surface of the issue, he failed to do it properly. Just like his all other actions.
Not the whole Plant that think is truly huge. The huge shown by interior part of the station blown free by the Earth Witches is shown from the outside. And it not that large compared to the entire Plant.
Quite Zero is probably a few sections of the Plant.
With regard to how Prospera built Quiet Zero remember back to the Attack at Plant Quetta it was revealed that Prospera and Delling were collaborating on this project, with Delling's motivation likely being Mio's dead mom, so Quiet Zero had access to all of the Benerit Group's resources and funding. Prospera also likely had a contingency in place to secretly move Quiet Zero from Plant Quetta to a new location if it became necessary, likely reassigning patrols and fudging documents to say "This is definitely not a doomsday device but a prototype movable mining platform."
Engineer: "What about the fact that it's coffin shaped and has red skulls on the side."
Prospera: "To remind people how dangerous it is to be around an active mining site without the proper precautions."
Engineer: "... makes sense."
Ah Yes and Prospera's company is a mining company. So of course it just a new mining rig quite sophisticated even has smelters to process the ore.
People calling for Suletta to pilot the Schwarzette makes me wonder if we'll get another Proto Zero vs Epyon situation where Suletta rides the Caliburn vs Lauda on the Schwarzette, but they trade mechs for some reason.
Would be a sweet little reference for the fans
I don't see em trading tbh, Caliburn makes too much thematic sense as both Caliban and Excalibur, Schwarzette is just kinda... doesn't really mean anything lol
I’m certain Suletta would encounters Miorine again, and the scenario involving Suletta having the high ground.
They really need to have a chat, a lot has happened since the last time they've seen each other. Mio should heavily confide in Suletta since she's pretty broken right now. She may not have wanted Suletta involved before, but she needs her now
@@RevoSKL I don't see Miorine having any agency in the matter, which is both ironic and satisfying considering what she pulled with Suletta. If Suletta helps her, Suletta would be the one forcing help onto her, I do not see Miorine asking her.
@@Peasham Mio probably certain Suletta hates her and wants nothing to do with her.
Plus Mio pushed Suletta out to keep her away from the Corporate dangers will not want to have her pulled in. Mio of course found out what happens when you make a deal with the devil even if it saves the life of a loved one it will turn out better they died.
The Calibarn looks badass O o
I always love your g witch videos keep up the good work!!!
GIANT COFFIN
And what makes it better is that some of the red lights on it look like skulls. Truly a floating death box
i think alot of people are forgetting about the no-filter part
because the filters serve a purpose as a restrictor, that restrict stuff going in, and out
So a Gundam without a filter can be a dual edge sword
because it is fully suspectable to Ariel's data storm, and also might boost sluetta's handling performance
she might actually die because this is her first actually handling the brunt of the Gundarm system in combat
you know part of me wonder, why send all those ships, I feel like sending a asteroid crashing into Quiet zero might be the most safe way to destroy it, offc, trying to find an asteroid that big in the fist place might be a problem but hey
Basically pulling a reverse Char. Throw a massive asteroid at something but this time for good intentions (destroying a potentially godlike superweapon)
You can just built a solid object with 10km length & 5km diametricly & strap rocket to it
I think its common strategy in UC, instead of colony drop, its colony crash
Suletta ain't gonna die cuz she's the main character I'm telling ya that right now lmao. Having said that, Aerial herself has the firepower to vaporize an MS from a sizable distance at low power, chucking something big on it might only work if it couldn't defend itself, and tbh just the Aerial could solo an asteroid lmao
@@Peasham even if she not gonna die there will be consequence for sure , either nerve damage or other kind of damage that gundam is basically a GUND format with steroid if what belmeria say its true, i mean in previous series mikazuki become cripled when he overclock Barbatos system
@@jnss9440 I mean she either dies or she's fine is the thing, considering what Caliban is, and the series ain't about to end in the next episode I can tell ya that much lmao. As for Mikazuki, the circumstances there were much different, not to mention what both series are going for. IBO had abysmal rating and wasn't very well liked in Japan, and I don't see them doing a repeat of it anytime soon.
Prospera is working with Delling directly so she has the funds of the Benerit Group
Quite the investment. Really want him to wake up and see it in action now lol
Oh crap, i forgot This Sunday is father's day, so hypothetical theory, what if calibarn and nadim are connected somehow and maybe suletta might reunite with her father intellectualy when she pilots Calibarn
I think I might be the only one who thinks the series will not go on to get 50 episodes. At the rate things are going, the story is approaching its climax.
Fun tomato fact: if you refrigerate them, you make them lose some flavor.
This is information I need in my fictional giant robot space political story
@@RevoSKL that was ALL I was thinking about on that scene: "Girl! You messed them up!"
Which actually emphasized just how bad the students’ food situation is when they actually thought the tomato was yummy. So shhhhhhh, don’t spoil it for them! 😂
Futuristic Flash Freezing does not allow ice crystals to form inside the fruit.
Called it
Knew there was another gundam
Interestingly I don't think it was ever alluded to by anyone. The ones we know of are the Aerial, Lfrith/Lfrith Ur/Thorn/Pre-Pro, Schwarzette and Pharact. I wonder if it was in the prologue episode, since they said the League took it during the Vanadis Incident. Either way, they considered that one a "monster" so I can't wait to see it in action!
@@RevoSKLSome people have questioning whether or not we'll get this new Gundam. You see, since WFM is heavily inspired by *The Tempest*, if this show has Prospero (Prospera) & Ariel (Aerial), there must be a *Caliban* somewhere in the story. And it turns out to be this *Calibarn* Gundam. Japanese like their puns, so the name "Calibarn" sounds like a fusion of "Caliban" (the monster) & "Caliburn" (the sword).
I heard about the Prospero thing, but not the Caliban. I'm not much of a Shakespeare reader so this is beyond me. Cool connections though, looks like that is all coming together, since this Calibarn is considered a monster
@@RevoSKL
Once Suletta was rejected by Aerial
and reveal that Ochs Earth Corporation had built UR and Thorn as well as the existing pre-production models that Prospera destroyed, that all be confirmed another gundam
I thought Guel was going to Suletta his gundam but after Guel's mech was destroyed
Plus the question of how Suletta would fight against Aerial
I feel like there will be a season 3 and it could be dealing with the fallout of Prospera. Since after whatever happened, the Assembly, Earth, Benerit, Peil, and Shaddiq’ ambitious still need to be dealt wit, as well as Miorine’s development. I doubt they could conclude it all in the next few episodes. Imagine it like this…
Next few episodes remaining have all the MCs dealing with Prospera while the other conflicts are being push beyond the boiling point. Shaddiq plots and probably have a backup plan. Earth’s anti-spacian sparked a full out war (remember some of the characters that were introduce in the Earth episode? They seem important). The Assembly will now launch another witch hunt after what Prospera did. The Benerit needs to salvage what they can with Guel dealing with his brother. Peil does what it always does: Scheme and manipulate for their own gain. Finally, Miorine possibly finding peace with her father, finding her resolve, and then embarks on trying to fix Prospera and Earth’s mess as well as reconcile with Suletta.
All the setups leads to the ultimate finale of season 2, where whatever happened, Suletta connects with Eri once more, Miorine and her were about to resolve their issue together…and then a cliffhanger comes in that leaves us angst until the Fall, knowing full well that the next season will be a full out war between everyone, and only the new power Suletta and Eri share will determine our MCs salvation or destruction.
Also, someone pointed out to me before that there’s also the Dawn of Fold to consider as another big player.
Yes they just started a War need to finish it and continue to have record model kit sales.
Delling funded her all along. She probably hid it inside that space base at the end of season 1.
I really need to start watching season 1 atleast before the final episode, I still have no clue what is going on
I think suletta will end up a gundam like eri did and mio will pilot her and that’s how and the only way they will be able to be with each other
Miorine doesn’t deserve to ride a Gundam. Besides, she sucks at being a pilot. And btw, Miorine betrayed Suletta, so Miorine should just die, because she has a death flag now.
Yea Mother Dear will embed her, on Caliban maybe.
I cannot describe to you how hard Eri would murder the person responsible for that, and a person needs to be responsible for that
Agreed on Eri protecting Suletta from the datastorm as a red herring. There are a lot of clues supporting that. ED2 is a big one. But also the shows theme about finding yourself and getting free of the sins of your parents. A bit Doylist but she's the main character gundam pilot. Of course she's special. Lauda is throwing a lot of Garma and Riddhe flags. Suletta and co are also going to Benerit HQ so they will probably fight and I give good odds she kills him. Maybe not intentionally, because that's not Suletta. But Lauda is a normie trying to pilot a gundam while blood lusted. He's going to pop.
I've had the feeling for a while, but especially after that scene where Suletta is outside the Aerial and gets that data storm through her as a baby and it doesn't affect her at all
And yeah, Lauda is about to go rogue and make some very poor and emotionally charged decisions. I do wonder if the Schwarzette has the whole "Gundam curse" though. We assume all of them do. Belmeria specifically called out the Calibarn for not having a "filter" for data storm and I wonder if the Schwarzette was developed any differently. Guess we'll see, it'll be sad if Lauda does "pop" as you put it lol
@@RevoSKL I think anything using GUND tech does. And Permet 3-4 seems to be where normal people die. So he doesn't have to push that far before he's puking blood. Alternatively, Suletta may pull hax and just disable Schwarzette like Eri would and end the fight there.
I don't think Eri protecting her is a red herring in that she really was protecting her, as in, Eri didn't let her even link with Permet, the red herring would be that Eri didn't have to protect her.
well i donno any more lol
if this is macross the girls will sing n somehow give the MC the super power skills to over come Quiet zero
but in gundam who knows lol
at this point let prospera cook! this is great! let her get her revenge against everyone that involved vanadis accident.
also i dont trust these SAL people. guston guy and (dead) feng don't want war but obviously other guys using war to accuse benerict, absolute BS.
dont you think these SAL people also responsible even involved of vanadis accident. they even have confiscated gundam with them.
I mean they were en route to the school to do a Vanadis 2.0 so she was 100% justified here
Idk why I just can't stand the MC.
