![]() ![]() As they drift together in the void, she assures him he doesn’t have nothing, and she and many others will celebrate his birthday.Īs Elan flashes perhaps his first genuine smile, Miorine sits in the repair pod with Nana and endures this bit of “minor two-timing”, which extends to a second date for Suletta and Elan, so he can fulfill the stakes of the duel. The light of the candle becomes the light of the glowing debris as Suletta stretches out her hand for him, and he takes it. Elan drifts in defeat, but his memory finally comes into focus: a mother, his real mother, with loving eyes, presenting him with a birthday cake. Suletta has won, her house has more than doubled their money, which means they eat next month, and Miorine doesn’t have to worry about Elan becoming the Holder and her new groom. The laughter of children can be heard as Aerial’s Bits form a spinning ring around her and then blast Pharact to hell. Now a drifting sitting duck, Pharact’s Bits prepare to envelop Aerial as they did Guel last week, but in a development that may even come as a surprise to Suletta, an emergency defense system is activated that neutralizes the Bits and Pharact. He and Suletta trade flurries of beams, and the latter’s flight suit is damaged. He even predicted this would be his last duel, judging from Bel’s reports on his testing. It looks bad for Suletta, but she has an advantage Elan doesn’t: time.Įlan has to continually up his Permet Score to maintain his edge, which takes a toll on his already depleted body. The entire school is watching, including Guel from his new home-a tent in the woods (I’ll admit to laughing out loud as this uncommented-on development, and part of me hoped Shimarin or Honda Tooru would show up). Perhaps they know that they need every edge they can get against Suletta and Aerial. Once again the corporate bigwigs-in this case Peil-arranged for unfair conditions. This further rankles an Elan already understandably frustrated by his lot in life from his perspective he has absolutely nothing, while Suletta has everything, and yet still wants more from him, and won’t let him have this victory.Ī thrilling space battle ensues, with both Aerial and Pharact’s Bit Control Systems dueling, and the latter suit’s superior mobility creating a long-range disadvantage for Suletta and her jury-rigged unit. But we know better her singing briefly brought his hazy memory into focus.īut the die is cast, and the next day the duel unfolds as planned, with Suletta announcing that her stake is that if she wins, Elan has to tell her all about himself. ![]() She’s put over house-wide loudspeakers calling out to Elan, asking if he meant everything he said, and then singing him “Happy Birthday.” He only calls her to tell her to go home, saying he has no birthday. Suletta snaps out of it and gets back to testing, then afterwards visits Peil House insisting to speak to Elan. Miorine is out there assisting with Nana, and gives her bridegroom a bit of tough love, as well as reflect back Suletta’s “move forward, gain two” credo. ![]() I suspect the memories of his past life have been subordinated by the Permet conditioning.ĭuring flight testing out in open space, Suletta is down in the dumps, feeling dumb and annoying after Elan’s hurtful words. The “Elan” we’ve known thus far is no villain, only a pawn and victim, though he apparently volunteered for this with the promise he’d get his “face” back and a citizens ID should he prevail. He’s every bit the smug, privileged aristocrat you’d imagine would be heading up Peil House, and is the rightful recipient of a future face-punch from Chuchu, Miorine, and/or even Suletta herself. Meanwhile, Elan undergoes more lonely testing and his blurry recurring image of a candle is interrupted by a surprise visitor in Elan … the real Elan Ceres. I can only imagine Suletta’s mom didn’t provide her such a unit because she was confident her daughter would make the necessary connections. Led by Nana’s cautiously-can-do attitude, they scrounge around scrap and spare parts to cobble together a flight unit for Aerial. She and Elan meet for pre-duel formalities, but she has yet to decide her stakes.Įarth House know theirs: the 2.7-to-1 odds they’ll enjoy if Suletta wins. He leaves with his head held high, having done what he (and I believed) to be the right thing in standing up for Suletta. While Earth House reconsiders their opinion on Elan in light of his treatment of their new housemate, Guel is thrown out of House Jeturk and cut off from all but the remaining school tuition. She asks Prospera why she’s using her daughter as an instrument of revent, but Bel retorts by asking “how many” Gundam pilots there have been before Elan. Lady Prospera has a chilly reunion with her former Vanadis colleague, Bel, AKA Belmeria Winston, who says she had little choice but to join Peil Group in order to survive after the punitive assault on their facility years ago. ![]()
