Get out there and kick some ass!

Best teacher and master in the biz

Yup

Edit: wrong thread

Biscuit is the best

Yeah, that's the stuff I recall. Felt like they kept getting attacked so at the time it didn't seem like they could avoid it and say "we've gotten far enough" but maybe that was just me reading it wrong since it seems to come up a lot in comments that Tekkadan could have just stopped at that point with what they had gotten like you said too, so maybe they could have and those were smaller incidents than I thought.

No, she purposefully refused the surgery as she considered using it to become a "demon" as a short cut. I agree though, the writers could have set it up much better to give her some kind of proper edge in this fight to explain how she gave "killer Mika" so much trouble, instead she's a lesser skilled pilot (and doesn't have the implant), in a way worse mobile suit, the only edge she had was speed on the suit (which gave Lafter the edge when she once fought Mika back at the beginning of the show), but even then shouldn't the Barbatos Lupus Rex be performing better after all those upgrades? The writers could have just done a better job making this outcome more believable. Amida was beating her with her shitty mobile suit only a couple of episodes ago before she died.

Rustal

"You're already in my trap" Not bad Rustal, but you do have things way too easy. And for being a schemer and plotter that side of McGillis has all but disappeared.

Hmmm. I've wondered about that but didn't they get attacked at the beginning of the season again to kick things off?

4 to go after this one

"You're just now figuring that out?"

Subtle! Gee I wonder what's different!

Yeah, definitely feel like something happened behind the scenes that changed their plans and whatever they originally had planned for Hush basically got dropped for the most part.

Feels.

"Julieta managed to escape death somehow" Even the show knows.

Yup

There goes another

Oh right, these two are dueling. It's almost like a weird afterthought.

Welp, he didn't finish her off even after all that.

If you're going to do it then do it already, Mika!

Kamikaze run...damn, seems like it's gonna be a heavy death count tonight

Suit up!
