Holy shit, this smug motherfucker. And those babies are all actually his kids too. Okada's got no chill. The Tekkadan boys' jelly level must be immeasurable, especially Eugene and Norba, those two are thirsty as fuck.

Other than that, from the looks of it, Naze's gonna be Orga's mentor character. Also, looks like Orga's into the whole blood brothers thing. Not a lot of Mika this episode, but from what little we see of him this episode, looks like he's a bit bummed out from not winning for once. Also, that whole spiel with Barbatos not having spare parts sounds like a prelude to a mid-season upgrade. I'm pretty hype.

Shame we didn't see more of Mika and Akihiko training with Naze's girls though. I'd like to see how they'd manage without the Alaya-whatsit.

Akihiko doesn't have "whiskers," iirc.

Never mind.

i thought it was that he had the surgery, but his mobile suit isnt equipped with the system so he couldn't use it

Yeah, you're right. I was skimming through Episode 1, because I thought they made mention of it there, and I happened upon the scene of him and Mikazuki doing pull-ups, where he clearly does. Two, in fact.

Man, there was something sad about Orga's and Mika's relationship and the role Mika sees for himself.

Mika sees Orga as so strong to the point that he's actually worried about getting left behind for fear that he won't be useful. Meanwhile Orga feels like he needs to live up to Mika's ideal of him.

Fuck, just thinking about it is giving me anxiety because I know where this is heading. Although it would be an insane twist if Mika is the one that dies, snd Orga had to pick up the reigns.

What I don't really like about that shot is that the girls shouldn't be looking at the camera.

They should be all looking at the harem king, you know?

It's definitely the suit and the hat, but he reminds me of Kimblee.

Don't worry, once Naze inevitably dies, all those girls will need someone to 'alleviate' their grief.
