EPISODE 05: FATHER AND SON
Ah, flashbacks!
NO WAIT THIS IS THE MILKY WAY.
THE MILKY WAY OF WRECKAGE AND DEATH.
And narration to make us feel guilty JUST FOR BEING ALIVE.
Then back to the story line!
TITANS
Jamaican: Wow uh we really suck you know.
Bask Om: Shut up and find AEUG's secret base.
AEUG
Henken: I bet they're trying to find our secret base. Good thing we don't have one!
Reccoa: We're painting the Gundams a new color since that's clearly the most important thing we must do now!
Taking a look at the paint job, we see the head engineer KAMILLE'S DAD having a fucking fit over his worthless mechanics.
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH TOO BAD WE DON'T REALLY GIVE A SHIT, SIR
Mr. Bidan is a true mechaphile, as he holds the REAL head engineer hostage to get a real good look at some Rick Dias. Oooh.
And the real head engineer's a total wuss.
"YOU SNAKE! >x"
*SHOVE* "AHHHH! ARGAMA HEEEEEELP!"
Adorable useless engineers. ♥
So Mr. Bidan jacks a Rick Dias. The Bidan family has a history of grand theft mecha.
Lt. Quattro dashes off to save the day! Running down the length of hallway, breeze rolling through his long golden hair, the camera slows down as a gentle saxophone begins to play--
As he calls up Henken to tell him that they really need to make ths elevator bigger.
Henken replies that maybe they could have if they didn't already invest in a shiplength hallway for Quattro to run down whenever he felt like being a TV drama hero.
Charzo-- QUATTROZOOM!
Strangely enough Mr. Bidan really DID steal the Rick Dias just to look at it. He's practically rolling in the cockpit drooling over the features. He should probably be careful, since that suit belongs to Quattro, so who knows what sort of dirty pictures of the Zeon Prince from the One Year War secrets he hides in there.
Quattro enters the hangar and sees Kamille's trying to jack a Gundam to follow his dad. But Quattro isn't mad at Kamille at all.
In fact he's eager to tell Kamille that it's okay to feel--
16
I HOPE YOU LIKE 'EM FEISTY, QUATTRO.
Quattro then does a slick acrobatic maneuver and slips into the Mk. II while Kamille is wrestled away.
...FAMILIAR
CAN'T QUITE PLACE MY FINGER ON IT.
I then hear the most unbelievable argument ever between Quattro and Apolly that can basically be summed up as THE RICK DIAS IS BETTER countered with and I quote "YEAH, WHATEVER" like it's a battle between two high school girls.
Then, ever so subtley,
"Have you ever heard of a man they called The Red Comet?"
Why no.
Actually Henken replies with tl;dr "Yeah he was a real asshole." "Really?" "Yeah just like Lt. Quattro." "Oh I see."
Technology!
Mr. Bidan seems surprised that he was followed. He seems even more suprised by
Quattro's Rape Tackle.
But now ~NEWTYPE FLASH!~ they're getting fired at by a bunch of lasers! Quattro doesn't give up though and continues to molest the backside of the Rick Dias until the lasers finally LAND A HIT.
"I'm actually testing a mobile suit I designed against myself in an enemy machine!" *INSERT SCREENS OF A SLUTTY WOMAN* "NO ENGINEER CAN BE LUCKIER THAN THIS."
Oh, Kamille's dad!
Kamille returns to the hangar to jack a Gundam.
The head engineer is totally fooled by Kamille's manly voice and just lets him take it even though the Gundam is missing half its parts.
I'm seeing a pattern here.
A battle between ships occurs! I'd like to comment how I like the whole second bridge idea.
...
SO THIS IS KAMILLE ATTEMPTING TO STOP HIS FATHER.
*SHRUG*
IT EVEN ZOOMS IN ON THAT. THEN!
EPIC BATTLE TIME?!
AND THAT MAKES TWO DEAD PARENTS IN OUR FIRST FIVE EPISODES.
COMFORT TIME.
Although this lacks the amazing badtouch/backrub that A New Translation had, I like this version a lot better.
Emma shows up, and while everyone (even Reccoa!) is like DAT EMMA, Quattro sees through her sultry ways and is immune! Emma takes on the defense, unable to believe that Quattro still thinks she's a spy, she asks if he really believes such a thing, and Quattro cheerfully replies,
"Yeah! Of course I do!"
Emma tries to comfort Kamille but KAMILLE DOES NOT WANT. So he rages. And rages. Then rages some more. An ever so comforting "I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT..." from Quattro and Kamille rages more.
This is another reason I hated A New Translation, they changed Quattro from being a total jerk to being a nice guy.
ARRRRGH YOU PEOPLE.
BUT QUATTRO TRIES TO FIX IT!
"Have you ever heard of a man with the name Char Aznable?"
I now believe I'm watching some kind of indirect flirting between Kamille and Quattro.
Reccoa knows this and does not fucking approve.
Kamille's deadpan "I'LL NEVER GET TO MEET HIM" makes this all the more hilarious. I mean. Seriously now, who knows and who doesn't and all those who still don't know please raise your hand so I can smack you. I haven't upped the counter in a while.
KAMILLE RUNS AWAY BUT TRIPS OVER EMMA'S FOOT IN THE PROCESS.
So moe.
Reccoa calls Quattro an idiot, and Quattro comes back with a 'yeah but at least I'm not Char'. Or something like that. Yeah.
DAMN THIS SERIES!!
