Gundam in Reconguista episode 8 continued just last week assault from the Mask and his subordinate. Bellri had already taken back the G-unit and sent Raraiya to the pirate custody. This episode introduced Aida's father; General Surugan and also new enhancement for the G-self unit. After giving Raraiya to the reinforcement and making sure that she was safe, Bellri equipped the pink armaments to the back of the G-unit manually by positioning the unit and move it backward until it was locked in position.

In the air the Green Mobile Armor, which named Armorzagan, kept the Mask squad busy with it continues laser beam shots. Combined with the Klim Nick's Montero, the huge green monster shot down several of the Mask squads Mobile suits. In one of the scene, the Armorzagan even transformed into a giant mobile suits and broke the Capital support unit rifle using it enormous arms. It seemed that Armorzagan also worked as a support unit as it could worked as a stand for a mobile suit while entering a Mobile armor mode.

Meanwhile, Director Wilmit who started to descend into the earth atmosphere saw the light of the battle from faraway and instantly, she instinctively knew that Bellri took part in the ensuing battle. Fortunately for her, the glider could stabilize so she could take a little breather knowing that it did not ended getting burn while entering the atmosphere.

Back to the battlefield, the Amerian pirate radar caught a glimpse of an incoming unknown; which was actually the one Wilmit board. Without given any command, Aida moved the arcane to intercept the intruder. Bellri asked her why did she move away from his father as she was supposed to protect him. Yet, the later still moved the unit to the higher atmosphere.

The mask unit could take down many of the pirate units most with a single shot. Yet the battle was boring and one sided, which reminded me to the time when char took down the Federation army's GMs back in the original Gundam. The only good battle that I could see from this episode was when the G-self; with it new upgrade pack, fought directly with Luin's lee mobile suits. Luin thought that if he could get above the unit, he might have bigger chance to take the unit down. To his surprise, the G-self attacked him using an alter image and after receiving the pressure (the pink pressure to be exact) his unit's joints started to rumble uncontrollably. Then, Bellri pink G-self punched the Mask unit right in the right torso and threw the unit off balance.

Knowing that he was at the disadvantages, the mask fled the battle once again. Bellri thought it was all over when he realized that Aida's Arcane still went above the atmosphere to catch the unknown. Without wasting any moment, he took the pink G-self to the higher plane to met with her. I feel that Aida was being reckless when she decided to drive the unit above the atmosphere because the first thing I saw when she appeared was his unit struggling to stabilize with the space gravity. Just when Bellri also entered the space, he heard a voice that he familiar with. It was her mother voice and when he looked to his side, Aida's unit was in position to shot the plane. Fortunately, Bellri still could crashed his unit to the arcane in order to disrupt the later shooting and later on, he position the unit to catch the space glider. I thought it was quite ironic that she said she was about to be murderer when she pilot a mobile suit herself. Not only that it was heavily armed, she participated in the war where people killed other to survive.

Both Aida's father and Belri's mother started a fast conference. It was the part when once again I got overwhelmed with information that still did not make sense to me. I was hoping that this episode would clear some to the confusing story line but the informations when they discuss the plan about the Amerian next step only made me more confused. What is the thing called roses of the Hermes blueprint looked like? and what technology from the Universal Century that the Amerian space pirate wanted to revive? I was worried that I might not give clear explanations about the war between Amerian and the Capital Tower (Gondwan??) using the scattered puzzle from this episode. Alas, let see the next episode and hope that the next one will play the story in a more simple and straightforward manner.

Tad predictable was the impression I got from watching Gundam in Reconguista. From the appearance of the Mask, his real identity, and the dead of Dellelsen. And I have to admit the pace of the series started to bore me. Just like usual, the Capital Guard sent their army to avenge their fallen comrades (again). This time around the mask guy (luin) led the cadets who originally also came from Kuntala. He explained to us that Kuntala clan was considered as a clan that came from the lowest society in the past. Therefore, he encouraged his fellow Kuntalas to seize the opportunity to improved their position by taking down the Amerians pirates.

The scene moved to the colony in which Director Wilmit (Belri's mother) inspected the surrounding area. As she checked them, she could not conceal his disgust that the capital army used the colony as if it was their front line base. This time around however, she held back to start a fight and focusing more about the ship that took her son.

Back to the Megafauna, the pirate inflated a giant balloon that look exactly like a Megafauna and hoped that they could create a diversion. In addition, they also received yet another G-self upgrade parts and armaments. Yet, this episode had not reveal how the new upgrade looks like. It was mentioned that there was a space upgrade unit for the G-self. Speaking of upgrade, it seemed that the color of the G-self unit change according to the unit upgrade that it equipped with.

Klim Nick, who noticed Raraiya before, suddenly asked her to pilot the G-self. Knowing very well that the amnesiac girl loved his pretty eyes, he manipulated her to take the unit seat and asked her to activate it. I don't know very well about his main intention. However, he might wanted to check whether Raraiya could work as Belri's replacement if he was not available. Or maybe, he intended to take special notice on how she worked the unit so that he could pilot it later.

In the other place, Director willmit went to a hangar to check a space glider. Unfortunately to her, she accidentally activated the machine with her locked inside it. The glider thrown out of the colony and the worst part was that it had no space suits inside so the Director life was at stake since if the glider happened to fall into the earth atmosphere, it might get burn while entering the earth atmosphere not to mention that it was possible that Director Willmit had no experience to operate the glider.

When the Mask team attacked the Megafauna, Belri was dumbfounded as someone (Raraiya) already deployed using the G-self unit. In order to get the unit back, he entered a Zaku like mobile suit named Jahanam and deployed. Just as the Mask shot down the G-self, which made it drown to the sea, Belri's Jahanam took it hand and guided it to a nearby island and in the aftermath, he replaced Raraiya again as the unit's pilot. Just as the Mask and his subordinates started to win the favour, a reinforcement in form of a green Mobile Armor came and started blasting at the Capital Armies.

I am still clueless about the series direction and who was fighting who in the series. However, I assumed that in few episodes later, the questions will be answered. What was the fate of Belri's mother? Will they survive the attack? Lets see the next episode to find out.

The main theme from today episode was the accidental demise of Instructor Dellelsen in Bellri's hand. To be frank, it was very predictable that Dellelsen will die in this episode and from the last episode preview, Bellri mentioned that he made his greatest mistake. From that statement alone, I immediately know that he would make the Capital Guard's biggest enemy because he killed one of the Capital's best Ace pilot. Then, due to the mistake, Bellri's chance to get back as a Capital Army's cadet had diminished as his former team will hunt him down as their enemy. In reality, I expected this turn of event long before due to how the ending sequence foreshadowed the dead of Dellelsen in Bellri's hand. I noticed that Bellri hold hands with Cahill and Dellelsen so I could make a safe bet that sooner or later, he might accidentally killed his instructor just as he did to Cahill.

In the first sequence of the episode, the instructor prepared to sortie with the new mobile suit; the Elf bull, to regain his honor, to avenge his fallen comrades, and to save Bellri. In any case, Bellri's mother still disagree with the army mobilization and she argued with one of the commander of the army to cease the attack. Nevertheless, The imperial army still condone the mission and sent the captain and some of the soldiers. In any case, Megafauna already entered the space so you could expect some space battle from this episode

In the Megafauna, Bellri asked Noredo to prepare herself and Raraiya about taking the leave from the space pirate. He said that he need to count how many space ships that the Amerian army have before taking leave, which surprised Noredo that he still considered himself as the Capital's guard cadet. Interestingly, while she was hearing about their plan, Aida did not seem to object about Bellri and Noredo escape plan. Maybe she already knew that it was impossible for a capital cadet to change side to their enemy in an instant. Not to mention he was the person responsible for killing her lover.

The G self unit also got another upgrade in this episode as it got a beam reflector placed in its back. It was not tested before so Bellri felt that the pirate used him to test their new armaments. What amazed me was how the Amerian's pirate easily entrusted him with the most advanced upgrade for the G-self. After all, he still belong to the capital guard's cadet even if he did save them twice. Meanwhile, Instructor Dellelsen in his elf bull along with his Gironde team were preparing to storm the space pirates. Just as the G-self unit was launched to the space, the new reflector system turned the unit color into purple and its reflector part behind the unit resemble those twin satellite system from Gundam Double X

The irony from this episode was that neither Bellri or Dellelsen knew that they battled each other because they did not realize who their enemy was. Dellelsen thought that the Pirate got their hand in the G-self unit and sent their best pilot to thwart their mission. In the other hand, Bellri did not know that his instructor was the person who operated the new Elf-bull machine. Should he knew, he might try to negotiate with Dellelsen and told him that he was still sided with the Capital Guard and worked with them in order to spy how many spaceships that the Ameria army had. Alas, Bellri who tried to save Klim's montero from Dellelsen's Elf Bull shot the unit and just before the Elf Bull destroyed, he could listen to Dellelsen voice and realizing just too late.

It was problematic for Bellri who already killed Cahill to remain in the Amerian's space pirate squad. Yet, his accidental killing of Dellelsen also made the G-self unit as the main target for the capital guard cadet. In addition, his grief for killing his mentor might haunt him later on. Well, I have a problem with how formulaic the pace of the story went. Yet, with a complicated wove of the storyline, I still could not predict what was the main problem or issue that happen in this Gundam universe. I was hoping that the story will be more simple and straightforward
