>Io has settled in Von Braun with Lily and Callisto (the cloned Levan Fu head installed on the Perfect Zeong), the latter with a swanky new robot body.>Anaheim/Titans finds itself allies in the Republic of Zeon (with Hi-Zaks and Rick Dias) and the Mua Brotherhood (with Nemos and at least one Irish-class), presumably to defend themselves from the Federation, EUREKA and the monks.>Despite Io's reluctance to drag his new family back into a battle, they decide to fight together as Team Thunderbolt with... whatever the fuck is this.
>>23528821 (previous chapters)>Sonia is alive. After recovering, she and Creed are tasked with training MS pilots for the coming conflict against the Titans (AE).>Billy was blinded by the Solar Ray. Hiding with Janice in a remote island, he uses his Newtype powers to invest in the stock market and becomes a millionaire, using his money to build a boarding school hideout for Newtype children.>The Federation advances into the South Seas Alliance's territory, but the faith has expanded in the space colonies. While they have officially renounced the teachings of Levan Fuu, Daryl and Karla are worshipped as saints (her betrayal is kept as a secret from the faithful), complete with rosaries shaped like Darryl's prosthetic hand.>Kaufman has become a bishop for the cult; JJ Sexton working for them. And they have at least three Psycho Zaku Mk-IIs.>At Confeito, the EFSF garrison deploys its latest mainline MS model: the Gunbullet, a mass-produced Guncannon. Without AE, the Federation must now rely on older designs.>McGregor, Confeito's commander, has enough of Jaburo's incompetence and secedes Confeito from the EF as its own anti-Federation force: EUREKA (using the AEUG's emblem from the "prime" timeline).>supporting the newly formed EUREKA is none other than Scirocco's Jupitris, with Messalas, Palace Athenes and Bolinoak Sammahns.>Chow Ming survives the battle of the Solar Ray, but gets captured by Richard Simms, a Federation pilot from Gaiden 1 that had himself been a POW after rescuing a Zeon pilot in the Thunderbolt sector. He's put in jail, learns Xiangqi (Chinese chess) from Richard and becomes a grandmaster after his release.>Lambert, Andy Wellington's robotic pillar assistant/pilots, are cloned brains from a Newtype test subject, not AI>Bianca tells Io that she will join the Titans, mostly out of personal ambition to fight (and die) against a powerful enemy while piloting the most kickass MS. Dialogue hints that she is NOT romantically involved with Io.
Every day I feel more vindicated with dropping it shortly after the OYW ends. I'll look at the cool acguys and then I'm done, thanks.
>>23528821Looks like a mash up with ZZ Gundam & Bull Gundam.
>>23528821The mega cannon on the head screams ZZ to me
>>23528937I mean, sure, there's that, but there are other weird elements I can't place from anywhere:>the animalistic jaw (Bull-G?)>the round cockpit hatch (Atlas?)>the swiveling backpack cannons (FA?)>the raised antenna (Strike-esque?)
>>23528845>Dialogue hints that she is NOT romantically involved with Io.Why the hell are you obsessed with saying and why are your words capitalized? Is Bianca your waifu or something? You don't need to be romantically involve to kiss and sleep together. She's already banged Io.
>>23528945>Why the hell are you obsessed with saying and why are your words capitalized?Because shippers are a blight upon mankind and I want any and all bullshit speculation to stop.>Is Bianca your waifu or something?Blerg, I'm not into body mutilation.
>>23528945>You don't need to be romantically involve to kiss and sleep together. She's already banged Io.they haven't fucked, dumb shit
>>23528955Yes they did. Stop being weird about it and move on with your life.
>>23528960>Yes they did. Stop being weird about it and move on with your life.post the page where they fucked, then. should be easyoh, wait, you cant. because IT DID NOT HAPPEN
>>23528962Wow you are mad about this.
>>23528965post the fucking page, shithead
I'm just glad they didn't give the zeta designs 1 million subarms that held extra shields. I'm sure the mk 2 would have that shit, but the jupiter lads seem to be ok.
>>23528972>I'm just glad they didn't give the zeta designs 1 million subarms that held extra shields.They did give the GM Custom a new backpack, however.
>>23528975I can somehow tolerate veriners, even weapon carousels on the back. Dust shielding is also fine But that shit is going to get ruined if they add a million shields covering its front like every single Thunderbolt design.
>>23528950>>23528845Pretty sure Bianca and Io made out, and it's implied they had sex.
>>23528990>impliedYou gonna have to do better than that. On the manga itself, this is as far as they've gotten.In case you didn't notice, this is with the old art style. Before Ohtagaki injured his hand.
>>23528997>Io traded out the tatted out cumdump for a newtype loliwife. Amuro tier longplay. This bitch is gonna hit the wall like Fraw did in zeta.
>>23528997If you were to ask me, Bianca sounds in this page like, rather than romantic feelings, she has pity for Io after all the stuff he's gone through. This in at the stopover in Von Braun, by the way.And think about it: if Ohtagaki wanted them to end up together, wouldn't this latest chapter (with Io making a family with Lily and Callisto) be the perfect chance to do so? Especially after Bianca saved all three of them at the last battle.
>>23528950It's a manga nobody gives a fuck about why are you seething over shippers for this of all things?
>>23529011>why are you seething over shippers for this of all things?Can't you read? Shippers have ruined the whole internet with their delusional nonsense and fighting about it. I abhor the concept as much as I despise the waifushitters.
>>23529002>BIanca loses her dominant arm>Io gains a daughterwife and a cyborg buddy>Daryl gets a lungful of vaccuum and space dustIOCHADS KEEP WINNING
the crest looks like Barbatos. Thunderbolt confirmed as the Calamity War
>>23529014Feel more like a little sister to me, but it's good for Io anyways. Any storytime?
>>23529021Your best bet are raws, I just use image translators to get a gist of what's going on. The IO family chapter is on 228
>>23528990Yeah other people in the community have been saying there is some romantic feelings between them and they kissed.
>>23529014I believe the author still has several chapters to release. I'm betting Daryl is going to be revealed to be alive in the final chapter. Especially if the author is following the Amuro/Char dynamic.
>10 years later!>IO! I've come back for a rematch! Now bring out your gundam so I can demolish it with my double zeta-zaku!
>>23529033Daryl stopped being a protagonist for me after the newtype cult shit. I hope they come up with a different antagonist, or better yet, different protagonists.Io is somewhat tolerable because he's not exactly that good and just gets better tech and support personnel. But Daryl doing naruto jutsus with an unarmored psycho zaku is the dumbest shit I've seen in the UC side of gundam. Throwing heat hawks like boomerangs and doing dumb martial arts shit should be reserved for G-gundam or IBO. They simply powerscaled him too hard while also assassinating his personality by making him Karla's cuck.
>>23529033I give 90% odds that the final chapter reveals Daryl on a beach somewhere. Maybe in some Zeon colony. Karla probably survived too. but maybe she's bedridden or lost her memory again, and Daryl is taking care of her. They gonna go for that Tekkaman Blade ending.
>>23529040If they were willing to bring back the guntank girl, they can probably handwave Daryl and Karla's death.
>>23529024Yeah, i really feel like this is what Io really need right now. A good new family.
>>23529048Now that I think about it Io lost his entire family, while Daryl just decided to stay in the military while he had a perfectly good one at home.
>>23528821Is this Manga really ending. All these chapters feel like they're leading up for a sequel.
>>23529014Daryl FUBAR'd himself after losing everything. It's the only choice for him to make peace with his inner demons.
>>23528821Io get a pretty full victory over Darly. The ZZ gundam part it's kinda pointless. I would have like it more Io out of the military and in another business.
>>23528845>Dialogue hints that she is NOT romantically involved with Io.The dialog says the opposite you fool. She makes out with Io and says she wants to have sex with him later.
May Ohtagaki never touch Gundam ever again.
>>23528821>>23528845So is this the absolute end of Thunderbolt? Are they planning to make a sequel? With so much stuff revealed, it could easily be done and called something like "Thunderbolt Zeta".
>>23529012Are the shippers in the room with us now?
>>23528821I know this isn't what Thunderbolt was about at all, but I wish the series was just about what if the OYW had kept going past a year and the horrors of war as a consequence of that. Instead we just got a retarded version of UC with extremist space cultists of the distinctly eastern variety. It all just seems like a waste now
