Saitama could take on all these Gundams.

So my vague understanding is that this first episode sets up Saitama's conflict with lack of conflict, and the story as it develops is more about the world that needs heroes, yeah?

@ Beary: Saitama could probably tank a Moonlight Butterfly no problem.

@ Enlong: That's what I'm guessing, unless there's some random twist here and there involving whatever villains and monsters are out there.

@ Enlong and X 2 X: There is a twist, but it hasn't been adapted in the Yusuke Murata version of the manga yet, but it is in the original web comic.

I ain't saying what it is though.

Every time I see those augments on those guys in Gundam IBO, I get such an oogy feeling. They're just sticking up where their spines are and all; just looks so dang uncomfortable.

I feel like I've missed too many episodes of this show to really know what the actual plot is about.

@ Demongod: Well, obviously. That'd be no fun. tongue

@ Tsukkomi: It's a bit of a slow starter, but basically, Gjallarhorn, a branch of Earth's military, is targeting Kudelia to prevent her Mars independence movement from getting off the ground, so she's enlisted the children working for Chryse to act as her bodyguards, thanks in no small part to Mika being able to pilot a Gundam.

Teach Me, Ms. Kudelia!

(And Fumitan is Kokonoe, serendipitously enough.)

From what I've absorbed, this company is a bunch of spacenoid slaves from Mars, trying to escort a Martian emissary to Earth so she can negotiate economic independence for the red planet.

Can't remember the exact role of gjallerhorn, though.

I think the plot is the orphans are surviving and fighting some guys and protecting some girl. Gundams are involved.

Something.

I think.

Despite massive differences in detail, I don't think my post is notably different from Enlong's in terms of what matters tbh.

I've kinda been drifting in and out here and there. But it's not like I completely tune out, like with Narrowtoe.

So in a bit of genious bonus, the Gundams in this show are named after the 72 demons from the Ars Goetia (I know I misspelled that) book.

Also fun fact, that little blond boy with the bangs covering one of his blue eyes has a crush on Shino, the big loud fun guy with short brown hair.

These plot explanations seem sufficient enough. Thanks guys. [tup]

Now that I think about it, I've seen exactly one robot fight in this show and I want to see more. If there was one last week then I'm gonna be a tad upset.

@ Maestro: The thing is, would Mika even react at all?

I can't believe it took me so many episodes to point this out, but Mika is pretty much the Kallen to Orga's Zero.
