"I'm Selling This Gundam!"
-Garrod

Comments: "Delicate" cockpits from Victory Gundam make a brief comeback. Brightslap is more effective than yelling. You don't f*ck with a man's family or money! Garrod is acting really selfish, childish and dumb right now. He has street smarts but he just doesn't know how to accommodate other people. Ennil... a pedobear?

How can you expect a teenager who's used to living alone to behave like a responsible adult? You heard what blonde girl said: 'i don't think that kid can work with a team'. Also because of him, several crew members were injured, and then even a captain almost died because of him too! After making so much trouble there's no way he could feel good and something have to be done. So what can he do? To instantly change his personality and behavior, drop his old habits and grow up? Easier said than done. Naturally he choses to return to his old way of living where he feels confident instead of staying in that ship and causing more troubles to everyone.

You're very quick to label people. Obviously this girl is only interested in his Gundam and will make anything to achieve her goal, but i don't think she'll do it the way you think.

^^ I agree your point there. I really felt sorry for Garrod. And it was pure coincidence that he couldn't even talk to Tiffa at that time. Maybe if he had somebody to tell how sorry he felt, then there wouldn't be any problem here now. It was netural that he couldn't look in the eyes of everyone.

of course Garrod was acting like a dumb kid, he has been an orphan from the get go, he knows no other way to act.

Its how he's survived on his own for so long.

Don't mess with Witz's money or he'll follow you to hell and back to get it back. I really like him I hope he don't die. I also thought he sounded familiar his seiyuu voices Hijikata from Gintama. xD

Garrod is very smart when it comes to tricking others and sneaking around, but he fails when it comes to groups or common sense (power plant incident). Kinda understandable since he is an orphan.

We really needed to see the bandit woman's ass, it was really crucial to the plot. Is it me or is anime obsessed with older women coming onto teenage boys, probably just the writers fantasy because he didn't get any in his teens. Also is it me or is Witz a really bad shot, he can't hit the broadside of a barn.

Poor Garroud. Even Tiffa, the only person he can really talk won't to talk him. Sara just had to makes it bad for her. Ennil planning something bad about Garroud. I have to find out when I find time to continue watching this series.

Honestly i feel really sorry for Garrod, he has been reckless but his actions had the intent of helping the crew, he was just unlucky, and being an orphan in that situation, this was the only way he knew how to act
I think selling the Gundam was the right choice.

Wow yeah Garrod really messed up. Teenagers are like that though. They’re awkward and don’t really know how to react to harsh backlash like that. So I’m not like mad at him or anything. Another good episode.

Ending is still great!

Garrod is lost, and Ennil has her seemingly in her trap. The other plot with the gold is cool (makes me think of a Sergio Leone movie).

Once again, Poor Tiffa. Guess, she wanted to make sure Jamil was okay after the Nuclear Plant incident.

Also, looks like either Garrod is having possible second thoughts about leaving the crew as well as offering the Gundam to a bidding or offering sell it. I don't know what to feel about all of this, but then again, he can't be blamed for acting the way he does as he is feeling jealousy on his end now as well and is just trying to go back to his original life as a thief after feeling alone from a crew that he feels is getting hurt just because he's with them. And after all, he is still just a teenager.

We're also seeing more Ennil, who's building up to be the next antagonist in this arc (Ngl, the ending shot of her and Garrod on the bed was honestly pretty weird, though).

And poor Witz, considering the real purpose of the gold he's collected, I feel bad for what he's going through all on his own. Hopefully, the signal that was sent by Freeden can help.

Overall, a pretty sad yet interesting episode from all the focused characters in this one. And with Jamil currently out of commission, too. Although, the next episode appears to giving hopes of change.
