>Main characters suit is actually considered to be underpowered against the majority of things its up against

Its a shame this died with Zeta. Even back in Gundam when they introduced the Gelgoogs it really added to the tension that the cast really was coasting on skill and not hyper durability or portable shields. From ZZ to Wing to 00 and on only major figures have the firepower to take out the MC and thus dont have to deploy strategically

I like the idea of the most state of the art mecha that team good guys have barely gives a fighting chance for the pilot against the enemy.
Pacific Rim was kinda like this to an extent but I'm thinking along the lines of what the maneuver gear was against the titans in SnK.
>>
>>23904900
IIRC GQX didn't have special armor for its pilots

the bit staves in WFM could block beams but otherwise the gundams didn't have special armor

by gundam seed freedom only one side character's machine had beamproof armor, the rest of them are all vulnerable to varying degrees

narrative gundam was underwhelming as fuck and gets trashed before the end of the movie fighting against the villain

in thunderbolt the MC fights the rival to a virtual draw where both their machines get trashed. technically the gundam survives sorta intact but the rival's reinforcements arrive to capture the MC

>>
>>23903896
With how much the manga has been loving it's two parters recently, I'm not going to hold my breath on that front. Especially since this "fight" between Azir/Raniya and Urut is going to continue on to July's chapter at minimum. I initially thought Tougo being gone would only last until about October or November (both because of the fact that regardless of how many two parters there would be between now and then, that would be at least 4 to 5 "whole" chapters with him gone, which is an entire tankobon's worth, which I feel is plenty long enough to have the main character and main selling point of the manga be completely removed from the story, and because that would be around when we hit chapter number 55 for the obvious "Stella Five vs Kizuna Five" bit), but if we are going to be doing a bunch of what are effectively 1v1s for a while, there's a good chance we might not get back to him until some time next year.
>>
>>23903928
Yeah good point. Plus looks like Yihdra also won't be getting involved in this situation given the predicament she is in right now so yeah it looks like it will be a decent amount of time until it's Tougo x Yihdra's time to shine (Possibly along with the Kizuna 5 and Kiyohiro)
>>
>>23903866
This also makes it stand out even more that we only saw this with four of them, and not Olley, the only one who has been shown any doubt consistently at the situation. Him not being fully converted and will defect to try and save the others seems more and more likely.

Also, just wanted to share that I finally landed a new job recently. Wishing everyone here the best of luck, anons.

Beside Judau himself, Roux was the only one in the Argama crew that would quickly put those Shangri-La scoundrels in their place and turn them into an actual squad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvZvynJjaWA
The only thing Emma was good for was slapping Kamille around because she was too afraid to be an actual parent figure to him.
There's really no contest here. Roux is better than all those AEUG, Titans, and Neo Zeon bitches besides Haman, who most of the times relied on newtype shenanigans for everything she did anyway
>>
I hate lime 90% of the new characters introduced in ZZ. Watching the show is a chore given how fucking boring I find Judau. Him amd his crew do nothing for me.

There was a very strong backlash to Kou shooting up with amphetamines in 0083 among Japanese audiences, causing this retcon
Some fans went so far as to say from that moment, it was impossible for Kou to be considered a heroic character (never mind that him not living up to the standards of a gundam protagonist is a deliberate part of the narrative and themes of 0083)

The novels are written from a time where they weren't forced to sell as much merch as possible so it's more barebones. The movies are literally adding more mecha like the Alyzeus just so there's more to see onscreen and sell to kids afterward.

Ok, so what is the difference between a FAG and the F90, 91, and Victorys when it comes to attachments and add-ons? Is the hardpoint system any different than when a ZZ is equiped with full armor?
>>
>>23904796
FAG keeps the entire package of armor and weapons installed more or less permanently. it could switch forms but ideally requires a couple of hours in the hangar to be worked on by a team of engineers. I guess there could be a quick and dramatic armor purge feature if it's an emergency and the pilot doesn't mind dropping all the parts outside.

the modular F90 and victories are similar but they took the parts swapping system to an extreme where it's more than one set of armor and weapons and it can be swapped on and off in minutes, not hours. they can also mix-and-match parts from multiple sets of specialized gear, and add fancy futuristic stuff like energy shields and energy wings and anti-gravity levitation and stuff. not even all of the equipment sets include extra armor or cover that much of the body, so they stopped calling it "full armor"
