Spoiler warning
If you haven't watch
the episode, I suggested that you stop reading right now as the
writing would spoil the events of the episode and ruining your
enjoyment in following the story
I honestly thought that
Gundam in reconguista had a very complicated terms in storyline
especially for a Gundam series. It mentioned how the capital used
radar to avoid space debris, and how the tense political situation
affected the capital decision to change the system. Then, the soldier
who gave the speech said that capital tower worked to distribute the
photon batteries. It still not explained how the photon batteries
work and how the capital used the energy but I assumed that the
gigantic elevators used the photon batteries to work. Indeed, I found
myself staggered with the amount of detailed information that the
series gave and how the political view affected the rule of wars. I
assumed that in this year, Sunrise purposely divided the Gundam into
two entirely different series. Gundam in reconguista with it complex story and
simple Gundam design for older audiences and Gundam build fighter
try, with it simple story and more Gundams with various design for younger
audiences.

The four main characters;
Belrii, Aida, Nuedo, and Raraiya arrived at the pirate's spaceship
called Megafauna. And in an instant, Aida run toward the ship's
captain and hugged him. In a burst of emotion, she kept apologizing
for being careless and in the end cost the life of captain Cahill. He
replied that he also apologized for letting her taking the mission
using the G-self unit and how he knew about her tormented feelings.
Later on it was explained that when the G-self unit was escorted to
the pirate's hideout, the pilot (Raraiya) was already missing. Clim
Nick tried to activate the unit but the more advanced system did not
allow him to started it and in the end, only Aida could made it.

The scene follow to Belri
and Nuedo having conversation with Aida and the captain. They argued
about why the pirate started the invasion and induced the war while
the other side believed that the Capital tower distributed the photon
battery unjustly. In the other side, Colonel Cumpa used the
kidnapping as an excuse to mobilize the army. Several veteran pilots
including the the instructor, Dellelsen were sent to retrieve the
hostages. Belri's mother disagreed with the rescue mission as Colonel
Cumpa did not ask permission from the holiness (the religion leader
of Capital tower) beforehand.

Back to the Megafauna,
Clim Nick forced Belri to activate the G-self unit and perform simple
task like flying the unit. In order to do so, he threatened Belri
that he would harm both Nuredo and Raraiya if he disagreed. It seems
that Clim Nick was jealous because even if he was genius at piloting
a mobile suits, he could not even started the unit while there were
other persons like Raraiya and Belri, who were capable of piloting
it. Without no other option, Belri Zenam took the pilot seat, started
the unit and move it above the Megafauna. Just at that moment,
several recten units that belong to the Capital tower appeared and moved closer to the ship.

The situation turned
chaotic and the Megafauna captain, knowing that their hideout was
found, ordered his crews to retaliate and attack the invader. Belrii,
still feeling indebted and guilty for killing captain Cahill, decided
to take arm to stop the Capital army. Moreover, with Noredo and
Raraiya aboard the Megafauna, if he did not try to stop them, the
capital army might ended up destroyed the ship. As the battle
continues, Dellelsen proved himself as a very capable pilots but due
to Belrii interferences and his sudden ability to unleash the G-self
Su-cord system, some rectens were destroyed in the ensuing battles.
In the end, the instructor left the scene with some of the
Capital army survivors and decided to avoid more casualties.

| Raraiya wonder if Noredo should forget Belrii and Date Chuchumy instead :D |
I was a bit confused with
many terms used in this Gundam series but I have a hope that with
more episodes, all the questions will be answered. Which side will
Belrii choose to Defend? Is it the Capital army which trained him or
do he choose the space pirate in order to pay his debt to Aida? Well,
I'll see the next episode to find out
