Gundam Age 47

Been busy since the school year started, but Gundam Age 47 finally arrived.

The Vagan and the EF have already begun the fight, and things don't seem to be going anywhere. Lots of grunt units keep exploding.

The last surviving desert brother reappears, hellbent on avenging his brothers.  He pilots some sort of lovechild of the Biggro and Ball.  I can't get over this design.. It doesn't even have a face, just a spike protruding from where its face should be.  Plus the commander fin. lol

Crazy guy!

So it turns out this thing's special attack is turning the spike into a laser drill and firing laser drills at people.  At first, things are going well for desert brother.  The Earthers aren't standing a chance until sunglasses guy, Seric (I had no idea this was his name LOL), points out that desert brother doesn't really have a strategy other than firing laser drills at people.  

Flit decides to fire the photon cannon at the Vagan to wipe out most of their forces.  Not much to see here.  Especially with how badly this scene was drawn... What's going on with Flit's face?!?

This guy isn't very convincing...

Zanald informs Zeheart that he does not want to follow his orders.

I don't understand how Zanald is so big.  

Meanwhile, Seric manages to kill the Biggro-Ball thing, but not before having his suit critically damaged. He drifts onto a Vagan ship and is in the line of fire.  Following a brief goodbye between Seric and the captain of the ship, Seric convinces the Diva to fire the photon cannon at him, allowing them to wipe out a large chunk of the Vagan forces.

 This scene was quite bearable. Nothing to laugh about here.

 Kio looks around and is attacked by his old friend from the Vagan ghetto, Deen, in a mobile suit.  

 Yes Kio that is correct...

 The two of them talk for a while and decide they still want to be friends.  Deen just wants to bury his sister on Earth.  Kio is fine with that.  However, Zanald pops up in his ridiculously obese mobile suit and kills Deen.

Kio goes beast mode after seeing Deen die, and activates Gundam Age FX's burst mode.

 I find this particular screen hilarious.

Activating burst mode kind of looked like going super saiyan.  Kio starts flying around like he's a gundam, not unlike what we've seen Kira and Setsuna do in SEED and 00.  

Kio goes into rage mode and kills Zanald.  Shortly afterward he realizes what he'd done. 

End of episode...

It's nice to see Zeheart has somewhat of a Char cape. ^^"

I had mixed feelings about this episode.  On one hand Seric's death was nice, there wasn't a big stupid fuss about it.  At least they killed two bad guys.  On the other hand, I thought the burst mode thing was a bit exaggerated.
Whatever. The biggro-ball made me laugh. It was kind of disappointing to see the desert brother come back and attack Kio instead of Asemu, or was it Flit... I can't really remember. A re-encounter would have been cool.
