Head to the enemy headquarter; Gundam in Reqonguista episode 3 Impression

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

This episode have just finished airing and I managed to watch the episode in a very tight schedule. The third episode deal mainly with how Belri and his friends end up joining the band of the pirate. I though this episode was quite simple and straight forward. The pirate girl is back in custody, one of her friend tried to do solo mission to retrieve her, the main character along with the three girls accidentally got inside the G-self cockpit, the pirate girl brought the main and the two girls back to the pirate headquarters.

Every war always has its reason

After the end of the small skirmish between the G-self and the space pirates mobile suits, the capital guard military took Aida as their prisoner again. Since she was not a part of the army, standard army procedure did not work on her and she had no right to defend herself. Belri still feeling a bit guilty for killing her superior watched her closely. Nuredo Nug, the red haired cheerleader kept getting angry on him whenever he looked at her. Back to his mansion, Belri asked her mother; the director, to release Aida from the detainment, which made Nuredo threw a sarcastic remark; saying the he was fallen in love to her. In the following morning, he tried to visit Aida secretly but once again Nuredo tagged along. It was pretty obvious who got crush to whom in this series.

Yandere mode activated XP

In the pirate hideout, Klim Nick, a young pilot just found out that their captain; cahill, was killed in action. Knowing that Aida was now in the capital custody, he took his mobile suit to take her back. Certainly, he was very confident to his own ability as he decided to take on the mission alone. One interesting feature that I found was that the seat in the cockpit also have a working toilet in it.

But the touching never stop

Back to the capital, Belri and Nuredo met with Colonel Cumpa to talk about Aida. Then, she met Belri and told him to leave her as the colonel have treated her well and he should not worry about her well being. Regardless of her anger toward Belri for killing Cahill, he retaliated by saying that their action also damage the capital tower. One interesting note was how Belri cited about not repeating the same mistake as the universal century. So, there is a possibility that the series will give a flashback to the universal century, in which the original Gundam series happened. There was still a mystery about the word “mistake” as it still not fully explained to the audience but I was more or less wanting to know about the series relation to its predecessor.

I like the unit design. They are simple and look very similar to the older series

Suddenly as they were having arguments, Klim Nick threatened the capital tower to give lady Aida back. The Capital retaliated by sending their mobile suits yet, he proved his skill in piloting through taking down some of the capital's mobile suits. The reason why he was more capable was because he had more experience in real battles while his opponents barely encountered the real battlefield. Aida took the chance to get inside the G-self cockpit but Raraiya, Belri, and Nuredo also followed her. In the end, Aida explained to Klim Nick that she was in a good condition and ordered him to cease his attack. In the end of the episode, she piloted the G-self unit back to the pirate's hideout

Seems like he got his own harem now

With the main characters went into the pirate hideout, it was possible that they will end up becoming the enemy of the capital tower (while I still just making a simple assumption). What will happen to Belri and Nuredo in the enemy's den? Will they become a hostage? Or did they end up joining the pirate in order to stop the Capital's energy monopolization. Let's wait for the next chapter to find out how the events work out.
