A three-way battle involving the Federation and the Zeon remnants intensifies over the Reuse P Device which was stolen by the South Seas Alliance. Meanwhile, the Federation and the Alliance finally duke it out! During their close combat, Io witnesses a shocking sight! Just what did he see?!
>>14181500
Reuse P Device might be the stupidest name for something important I've heard in a while.
>>14181508
More than the FAG?
>>14181513
At least that one's just an unfortunate acronym.
Zeeks operate out of a ship modified into a submarine mother base
>>14181525
Is that a fucking Dolos? How the fuck did that end up on Earth?
>>14181525
What the fuck? How did they hide a fucking Dolos on EARTH? Let alone move it there through the atmosphere?
>>14181540
Not to mention they apparently only made 2 of them, so this third one just suddenly exists.
>>14181540
>>14181547
It may have been a third that was under construction, but not completed. So they used its airtight structure as a submarine instead
I don't think the Federation is expecting them to be hiding at the bottom of the ocean
>>14181551
How the hell did it even get on Earth in the first place? The only explanation is they built it there, but that's just flat out impossible without the Federation noticing.
>>14181551
Spaceships can't survive in the deep sea for the same reason you wouldn't send a submarine through space.
>>14181547
So business as usual for Neo/Secret/Ultra/Mega/Super/Duper/Hyper Zeon Mk2 Plus Alpha? they've been pulling shit out of nowhere since the OYW ended.
>>14181500
Does anybody have a link to ZeonicScanlations translation of the first volume? The only links I've found have been all taken down.
>>14181553
Yeah! Too high profile!
Spoilers from the latest chapter:
-Darry meets with the high bishop, the bishop asks for cooperation against the feds and says he can have the Psycozaku
-Darryl's friends escape
-The Spartan appears above the floating city
Ground-Types
>>14181572
They look a lot like the GMs, but their cockpits and backpacks distinguish them from the regular GM body type
>>14181564
You really have no idea how massive a Dolos is.
>>14181553
Even if that's the only reasonable way to explained them having it still doesn't explain why if they have the resorces for a Dolo's they didn't just build an actual underwater base instead of a Ship only
designed to handle space because modding that would have been harder than building from scratch.
>>14181576
Aside from the obvious Gundam heads that is

It's almost like Thunderbolt takes place in an alternate UC and the author was told to write what he wants without worrying how it fits with other established UC works.
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/hyIfBIQ.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>14181582
It's almost like they've been doing that with every UC Sidestory since forever
>>14181582
don't care about continuity, I want to know how they technically managed to move a dolos onto earth
>>14181588
Yeah but Thunderbolt is an egregious example. Even worse than 08th MS team, by a mile.
>>14181582
I thought there was so a page that said either Gihren or Kycilia escaped Solomon with their lives, making this in some alternate UC.
>>14181505
GTFO Gundam Ashtaron. This is not Gundam X, and the Frosts are nowhere to be found.
>>14181593
Crashed and was repaired? Built on earth for some reason? In thunderbolt's setting it can into atmosphere? Purpose built to act as a aquatic variant of the space design?
Take your pick.
>>14181599
There's an interview with the author where he says he was given permission to write what he wants without worrying about how it fits in the established setting. Which is why everything is heavily redesigned, instead of just remnants it's half the Zeon forces, and an EF nation is trying to go independent among smaller changes.
SOUTH SEAS ALLIANCE FUCKING SHITS
>>14181617
>>14181616
But I thought there was a reference to a Zabi besides Mineva surviving.
>>14181576
I knew they'd be all talk, but they were pathetic in that fight.
>>14181602
It's the Grublo.
>>14181616
Yep, but he hasn't pushed it that hard. Aside from design changes (which already happened with the ova's), you could fit this into UC without a care.
>>14181621

Guntank is fucking based though
Can someone spoon feed me where I can start reading
>>14181639
Chapter 1.
>>14181637
It was, but it's not like they could do more with a Guntank on a ship in flight. So those two get a pass, but the Gundam Heads are pathetic.
>>14181647
Thanks dad
What volume did the anime get up to? Zeonic apparently lost some files so not every volume is up to download
>>14182173
Volume 4
>>14181578
>You really have no idea how massive a Dolos is.
>Dimensions: overall length 492 meters; overall width 351.5 meters; overall height 123.7 meters
Also it would be impossible to make it into a submarine those writers are fucking dumb.
>>14181621
I want a kit of this
>>14181634
OVAs don't do the same.
>>14181553
Keep in mind that the Federation basically lost their navy to the Zeon so it's not all that impossible. No different than the Zeon taking that abandoned diamond mine in africa...
>>14182319
It's not about control of the seas, it's about moving a fuckmassive giant base from space to earth.
>>14182344
And what's to say they didn't use the resources on the planet to build this? The Dolos isn't capable of atmospheric reentry anyways so it would've had to be build on the ground.
>>14181554
>you wouldn't send a submarine through space
>>14182398
That has a battleship on top so it's okay.

The Thunderbolt Dolos should be the same size as the Origin Dolos, both of which could house warships.
It is estimated to be more than 7km long.
Try hiding that in the ocean.

I think you are drastically underestimating the size and depth of the ocean.

>>14183011

Oh origin zeon.
>>14183067
For all intents and purposes the brainwashing she underwent makes her a monk. She is also Raven Fuu's right hand person.
But, then again, in later chapters none of the women at their place of worship have short hair, so go figure. Doesn't matter anyways now does it?
>>14183181
Just because you're a really devout chirstians doesn't mean you can call yourself a priest.
>>14183181
I don't think she's necessarily a monk, but she is his main military advisor
>>14183011
So it is half the length of the Executor from Star Wars.
>>14183067
Why does Io care when he already has best girl?
At this point the Zeon remnants feel unnecessary. They feel like they're just there so Japan has Zeon somewhere because the fans, for whatever reason, can't handle a story about Feddies.
God I hope Amuro and Char don't show up randomly.
>>14184099
It's going to hurt when she dies, and we all fucking know it's happening.
>>14184118
As long as she doesn't fall in love with Io or Io doesn't fall in love with her she's safe. Author gave her a custom unit that falls into the holy trinity of the original Gundam team.
Now if she does fall in love with Io, or it's mutual, then she's going to get nuked by Claudia and Io is going to have a scene just staring at the piano while some sappy song plays.
>>14181554
It is so sad that G-Reco is the most realistic Gundam we got in years.
Jesta's gun?
Remind me again, who was the Buddhist on Federation ship?
>>14184125

I've only seen the OVA
How did Io escape and what happened to Daryl?
>>14184125
>just staring at the piano while some sappy song plays
Meanwhile, the Zeon remnants has just achieved some major victory in a recent campaign.
And the soldiers could hear some crazy ass free jazz playing from within the new Psycho Zaku.
>>14184168
Rejoice, for we now have IBO which is far more realistic than Reco.
No psychic powers, mega-beams, force fields, reflector bits, shield beams, or after-images-with-mass, just good old high-speed lead.
>>14184347
>psychic powers
>what is Alala Vagina
>>14184355
That's a cybernetic connection, that's actually not far off from real-world technology. We can already achieve motor control from implants in paralysis victims, they're working on perfecting audio and video input, and transfer of other kinds of information is just the next step.

What exactly is the difference between space proof and water proof?
>>14184430
Shouldnt the difference be that you dont need to factor in pressure for a space ship ?
>>14182627
That girl on the zeon recon plane?
>>14184347
Too bad the production values are so shit. They should have just made IBO manga and call it a day.
>>14184430
https://youtu.be/O4RLOo6bchU
>>14184430
Under water you need to worry about everything flooding in. About pressure pressing in. In space you have to worry about the opposite, everything popping out. Essentially the exact opposite. The steps to prevent damage are similar, but different.
>>14181616
That sounds like any Gundam manga not written by a continuity wanker. Japan has a historical tendency to simply not give a fuck about the details.
>>14184645
It's not a Japanese thing. Just look at Marvel/DC. And you get the same amount of fan autism out of it too.
latest chapter stuff:
-Zeon remnants destroyed a buddhist village
-They then infiltrate a platform rig where the budhists take handicapped people to test the Reuse P Device
-Darryl grabs their attention, Claudia appears to check on him
-High bishop probes Darryls mind using Claudia as a relay
-Claudia learns Darryl killed her friends in the sector
-Bishop asks Darryl to help him and offers the Psyco Zaku
-Rest of the Zeon soldiers flee
-Just then Spartan appears over the oil rig

>>14183011

That's about as long as the Excelion
>>14185263
Thanks!
>>14185348
>why would they make it 7000m long in Origin?
Why make a ship that can be used a mobile fortress that can be deployed anywhere in the Earth Sphere and solo entire enemy fleets?
Screw mobile armors, Zeon needed to invest more in super weapons. Imagine if they created a network of kinetic weapon satellite array to deploy all around orbit. It wouldn't have the ump of a colony drop but they could destroy any non Jaburo tier Federation installation or column with impunity.
>>14185475
That would be easy as shit to destroy. It's a shame you weren't in charge or the Federation would have been able to call it the Six Month War and remnants would be too embarrassed to call themselves Zeon, if they could swallow their pride enough to return at all.
>>14185500
>Easy to destroy
Only if the main character with plot armor showed up where anytime they shoot the bridge the entire ship somehow explodes.
Did you not read Origin? The Dolos shows up and solo'd a Federation Fleet.

Io escapes during the attack on A Boa Qu.
Darryl is given a Goog, a special emblem, team t-shirts, and a vendetta to recapture the data pertaining the the psycho reuse device on earth.
Io is given Atlas Gundam RX78-AL and a new mother-base, the Spartan.
Claudia and shithead scientist man are saved by space monks that were employed by the feddies to salvage battlefields.
Sean survived the Thunderbolt sector and his run-in with the full armor Gundam, and is now on earth as a desert-rat scrapper combing through Africa in a custom Gouf he financed.
Karla is battle-retarded still.
>>14184238
Silly Zeeks can't contain a man so based
Going to be honest here. The Dolos in Thunderbolt doesn't look as big as the Origin version got.
It really depends on the size of the sub that came out of it. I give it, maybe, 3km in length if the sub is around the size of an Ohio class submarine.
>>14189455
It looks like a Jukon-class, which should be around 200m in length. Thunderbolt could have changed its size to someting closer to real-life subs. Still pretty retarded though considering it would be a good half of average ocean depth height-wise. Also the water pressure at the bottom of the Dolos would be 100x that of the top. The writer is simply retarded.
>>14186083
>Claudia and shithead scientist man are saved by space monks that were employed by the feddies to salvage battlefields.
Aren't they the SSA?

The SSA is an autonomous part of the Federation that is seeking full independence after the war

So that last panel at the end have an grey haired Cornelius looking to Char's counterattack in a canonically questionable space ship while supervising maintenance of equally canonically questionable mobile suits while reminiscing about Io ,his used tissue papers and his rivalry to that Amputee Zeek pilot and how things are same at the very after all these years.
>>14201590
Io kicking ass (both literally and figuratively ) with a GM was the best thing in the story so far.
At least redeems the Zeek wankiness of the manga a bit for me.

When the Zeeks are distracted, Io breaks free and kills a handful of them with his bare hands. Then he proceeds to walk through the ship naked, while gunning down everyone in his way.
Daryl briefly fights in A Bao Qu in a Gelgoog, but he's notably a lot less effective when he's using a machine that isn't the Psycho Zaku. (In fact, it's actually pretty fascinating that he can pilot at all, given his prosthetics.)
>>14210588
What did they use the weight for the height or something? Makes no sense...
>>14192560
>Io's direct missile to Krillin's cockpit doesn't even dent the chest and just sends him swirling
Did you mean this scene?
That was Chao Ming's 360mm bazooka exploding because Io shot it with his gun. Io never used missiles in the battle.
>>14210562
Do you know spoiler tags anon?
Is there any chance Sunrise will turn these earth arcs straight into OVA? The premise and plot are ridiculous to the point of being hilarious.
>>14214200
we're just in for the mecha porn anyway
>>14211539
It's not confusing weight for height, it's saying the Sazabi's cockpit sphere is poorly scaled.
>>14214200
Judging by how well the BD preorders are going, there's a good chance. They just need the mangaka to finish the series
>>14214261
It does seem likely, the ep4 of the OVA also deliberately left it wide open for a sequel. But I mean the change of tone and "seriousness" into the earth arc is fine for a manga, but obviously not the same for animation. I find it hard to imagine how to watch the monks reciting their chants without laughing at the scene.
>>14212161
That is very clearly a projectile and not a bullet flying towards him in the first panel. The explosion was right in front of the chest area.
Those bazooka rounds could one shot a Gouf to begin with, now it explodes in front of his face and his cockpit doesn't even get a scratch?
