I'm sure most Zeon pilots did not do space kicks it's just Char is a badass. I agree with Zeong engineer that the Zeong is essentially complete, I don't think Char would have done better with a 100% Zeong vs an 80% no leg Zeong. Specialized vehicles seem more practical, without arms and legs a fighter plane in space or in the atmosphere should have more maneuverability and in the Gundam series with similar fire power like the core fighter. Put a beam weapon on core fighters and then mobile suits should be obsolete. The whole thing is just the romance of mechas. A fighter plane design is sleeker and should be able to do the same things mechs can do, but you don't get that manly duel feel like Amuro vs Char here as you would if they were in fighter planes. There's always Macross. | ||

The only thing weird about the char designs is that they are using that style (must be the studio) that makes them all so fucking pale most of the time they look like vampires. | ||

Such cool"... [15:48:23] <Wikt> 1,1i suppose its fair to say that he's starting to seem shady based on that [15:50:11] <Toad|> 1,1 he's not even arguing wether or not he's the 7th or not after he found out about the fog. He just straight up tells her if shit goes south you're next lol. [Making it sound like he cares about her when really after you take out the pretty words all he does is planting fear as well as] trying to plant the idea that it's NOT him in her head without any basis... by just repeating it enough times [15:50:50] <Toad|> 1,1 if he's NOT the 7th I'd be really sad at this point in time [15:54:22] <Toad|> tbf, I think the only reason we have to think otherwise is 1,1 that he's MC after all and you go into those things thinking "well I 'm seeing it from his PoV, so I know it's not him" because we just assume we have all the information (about him) or he was tricked some way and is doing it unintentionally (could still be possible) [16:01:40] <Wikt> [agreeing somewhere earlier] 1,1we've literally been shown nothing to indicate he's the 7th, although we know less about naschetanya and the rest of the crew than we do about adlet. [16:02:16] <Wikt> 1,1it's easier to suspect anyone from the rest exactly because we do not have their PoV. so for it to be adlet, it has to be incomplete or unreliable PoV. + the ending scene makes it pretty obvious unless there's heavy bullshit involved. Wether MC is doing it or intentional or not idk but it just straight up makes no sense for Flamie, who in her own words thinks it's MC with a 99% chance, to interpret what MC said as him trying to safe her when all he did was put fear in her head about the what-if-it's-not-him scenario. Wether it's him or not isn't even the point, from Flamie's PoV we know: 1) She thinks it's him in 99% of the cases 2) He tried to talk his way out of it with some explanation when alone with her twice already and has been told that there are major flaws in his tinfoil theories 3) After the 2nd time he resorts to fearmongering and scaretactics rather than actually try to convince her of his innocence It makes absolutely no sense to come to the conclusion that MC is trying to protect Flamie from her PoV. None at all. If she is indeed 99% sure about him (granted, it could have gone down) she has to acknowledge that there are two ways to interpret what he said and she just picked the one that doesn't fit with what she thinks about him because!?!? Literally she let him go because she at that time was only 99% sure about it and wants to make up her mind or get a better idea to judge wether her judgement of the situation is correct. She gets a scene that makes it only more likely that it's indeed him and she... just doesn't realize that thus, flamie the standard innocent guy/girl who just has the dumbs imo | ||

+ Show Spoiler + She doesn't trust him still. Remember what Hans said? She literally does not trust anyone and she can't even understand him because of her background. She is more calculating and flexible. What he says IS true, that she will be killed next if Adelt dies and isn't the 7th. Her not killing him gives her time to think and plan in case he isn't (and gives him time to clear his name). They still have some time so if she isn't convinced by w/e his solution is then she can just kill him anytime since to her he acts weird and makes himself vulnerable to her all the time. I also happen to know how this all shakes out (and some minor added details) from reading the LNs hue. | ||

Yes it obviously boils down to (for her)
It just doesn't make a lot of sense to come to the conclusion that it is the first one from where she is at. Maybe I'm putting too much into what she said afterwards but it DID sound like she started to think he's less likely the 7th after that conversation. I agree that waiting in her position isn't a bad thing, I just don't think she should be trusting him more than before after that conversation | ||

She simply doesn't trust anyone and thinks that everyone is pretty much just as likely to be the 7th (with Adelt being #1 suspect right now). She is honestly just baffled by his behavior because of her background and that plus her distrust of everyone plus the fact that she is next on the to be killed list makes it more or less to not act rashly and kill him right away. | ||

He could have just not met with her instead, so it wasn't a move to survive but a move to influence her. Granted, that failed so he changed plans to "crap I need to get out, no matter how" and because of that she ends up saying she wants to believe him? :/ in the end it's probably more an issue with the author than with her. It makes perfect sense to wait in her situation like you said and I agree with that. I just don't think her change of heart besides the tactical decision to wait makes sense at that point in time | ||
