MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS - Ep 30:INAUGURATION OF THE ARBRAU DEFENSE FORCES

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS - Ep 30: INAUGURATION OF THE ARBRAU DEFENSE FORCES


Summary of previous episode, then Tekkadan Earth Branch was the highlight for the next political battle of Gjallahorn McGillis and Rustal. Kudelia got contacted by Mr Makanai, and invited for the inauguration of Arbrau Defense Force thanks to Tekkadan, as most other countries now form their own defense force to be independent from Gjallahorn. Kudelia said she couldn't make it in time, and regretted the incident with Mr Allium and Terra Liberionis.
The scene shift to Tekkadan youths gathering at the hangar because Arbrau army is having a meeting and they take a break from training. Takaki leads the youths, and they complained about Radice, a man sent from Teiwaz to monitor Tekkadan Earth branch. Chad wears a coat and prepare to be the personal guard of Makanai. Tekkadan youths volunteered to guard the venue during the inauguration, and Radice passed a tablet with the details of Arbrau Defence Force commencement ceremony.
Radice is actually disdainful towards the Tekkadan members of Earth branch. Takaki and Aston walked at the back alley stairs, and invited Aston to his home. Aston rejected, saying he wants Fuka to concentrate her exam studies. Fuka ask about Aston, but Takaki said he didn't come. Fuka is good at studies and she likes it She like to stay at Earth. Takaki offer to cook so that his sister can study, but it rains and they went to pick the clothes, with Takaki fetching the basket.

The Mars Tekkadan prepares to send their Shiden Mobile Suits to Earth. Akihiro, Ride and Tekkadan third Mobile Suit user are setting up the units.
The newbie is still babbling about piloting a Mobile Suit. Dane and others are worried about him.

Orga came late for his dinner, and prefer his dish cold, because he believe life should be deal with as they come. Mikazuki adds his favourite dates into Orga's dish, and made it taste weird. He thinks Orga is getting thin due to overwork.

At Rustel's fleet, Iok and Julieta report to him. Julieta and Iok has a tense relationship. Rustel made his next move on Earth, McGillis stronghold. Julieta go to meet the masked man, said to be a bearded oji-san. Julieta is jealous of him for being the favourite of Rustel. Masked man smirked and said the same can be said of Julieta among the ship crew.

Chad debrief Takkedan members. Chad assigned Takaki to take care of matter when he's not around. The ceremony is held at parliament building. Aston chat with Takaki, and said he's proud of Chad, although he's not educated or smart.

in Makanai's room, Chad Chaddan is adderessed formally by Makanai, and his advisor came in to his room to call him to get ready for his speech, and noticed a flower vase that wasn't there before. Chad quickly take action and protected Makanai as the vase is actually an explosive that packs a punch and activated by touch.
Takkedan members of Earth wasn't allow to get near the site due to bureaucracy matter. This was utilized by Radice to deny access to Takkedan from getting in touch with Chad and or contact Takkedan HQ. Suspected spoiler <spoiler> the bearded guy should be the masked guy at Rustel's place </spoiler>. Radice can be seen talking with a bearded guy wearing jacket, and ask him to settle his payment. His disdain and hatred for the kids is stated as his reason to put them into war.
Guilty eyes
McGillis receive a report about the incident. He suspected that the true cause of the incident is due to many countries begin to sought independent military force as their country's defense, prompting a backlash from Gjallahorn.
Tekkadan Earth branch is in panic as Chad's condition still wasn't known after three days and the members begin to look up to Takaki to request Radice to inform them about Chad. Radice repeats the same answer, that Chad is still unconscious. Radice controls the communication with Tekkadan HQ at Mars. The workers are raring to take revenge for Chad, but they can't move as they can't get instruction from HQ, and they can't contact them due to Radice's intervention. Radice report that Makanai is still unconscious and the investigation still unsure where to start.

Back in HQ, everyone is worried, as they can't get any info. They can't get Takaki, so they suspect something was off. Orga asked if the transport ship for Shiden Mobile Suit can take off immediately.
Orga tasked Akihiro and the others to go to Earth in the shipment and to come in contact with the Tekkadan staffs there. One Tekkadan staff at Earth branch overheard Arbrau staffs mention that they could go into war anytime. They report that SAU was involved with the bombing.

Takaki approach Radice about the issue, and he tried to detract Takaki from pursuing HQ's input by saying that Mars wouldn't know better if they themselves don't know the issue.




The scene back to Mars, Kudelia wants to follow the crew that go to Earth to see Mr. Makanai. Then back at Earth, Takaki told Aston of Radice's decision for Tekkadan Earth branch to go to war without input from HQ. Takaki wished to live on Earth, that's why he decide to fight.

Back in McGillis office, SAU has sent an official request to Gjallahorn to arbitrate this matter. Back in Tekkadan Mars HQ, Orga informed the members of possibility of war with SAU. Also it will take three weeks to reach Earth by their ship.

Radice introduce the bearded guy to Takaki as Arbrau's Defense Force commander, Galan Mossa. He then proceed to force a handshake on Takaki

End of episode.

 Mikazuki and Julieta is in a stalemate, and Mikazuki can't get to admoral Sandoval. Sandoval decide to attack with a long-range roped weapon, and Mikazuki kicked Julieta away so that both can avoid the attack. When both Mikazuki and Julieta got near Admiral Sandoval's Gundam, the two expert Gundam pilot shot at the two of them.
Why the boss is only using melee weapon

The main ships of Dawn Horizon are being brought down by the backup of Gjallahorn, taking credits for the main battle. Orga prioritize Miakzuki to capture Sandoval to redeem some credit. The captain of Gjallahorn ship under McGillis pilots a Mobile Suit to aid in Mikazuki's engagement with Admiral Sandoval and his expert Mobile Suit pilots. Julieta go in solo against the three Gundam, hoping to take all the credit alone. She was captured and was about to lose her Mobile Suit's arms, when she launched out her shoulders and slam the two expert pilots of Dawn Horizon against each other, and prepare to hit the Mobile Suit piloted by Admiral Sandoval but missed. Admiral Sandoval got hit by a sniper fire from Gjallahorn fleet under Rustel. Julieta aimed for the kill of Sandoval and refuse the aid of Captain Iok, asking him to stall Mikazuki. Gjallahorn captain under McGillis pilots his Schwalbe Mobile Suit and attacks Julieta, allowing Mikazuki to attack and capture Sandoval. Iok and other Mobile Suits open fire on Mikazuki's Barbatos Gundam. They can't get a clean hit on Mikazuki.
Gjallahorn army can't hit stable targets, please re-examine their test syllabus

Mikazuki got latched by one of Sandoval's expert Gundam pilot, only to be used as a weapon to hit Julieta with. Sandoval got into a melee battle with Mikazuki, and is losing, shooting his missiles at close range and also fail at it.




The bitter face after getting his arse handed to him, just after his grand talk-down

Admiral Sandoval surrendered after taking some beatings on his Gundam, Hugo. Orga launch a cease-fire signal flare and declare that they have capture Admiral Sandoval and demand that the Dawn Horizon Corps to stop resisting and surrender themselves. Julieta got furious with the loss.

Teiwaz top father decide to award Tekkadan with the operation and handling of a new half-metal mine located at Chryse, that will be the largest mine there, as a reward. There is one subsidiary leader that object to Tekkadan's growth and award. Naze thinks Orga can't handle upper politics well.

In Gjallahorn, Major Proto Arae got promoted from acting to official Chief of Staff of Gjallahorn Mars branch. He was tasked with welcoming McGillis Fareed en route to Mars.

The newbie with brown blonde hair requested Mikazuki to allow him to pilot a Mobile Suit. Mikazuki agreed to ask Orga on his behalf. Kudelia waters the plants, and Atra came to visit.
Then scene change to Mr. Allium Gyojan that hired Dawn Horizon Corp for his dirty work begin to try to get in contact with Nobliss Gordon to get him off the hook. Orga went directly to his office for a "talk". Mr. Allium Gyojan try to talk his way out with Orga, taking him as a kid, but Orga just ignore it and ask him to pay double the damage cost incurred during the battle with Dawn Horizon Corps. Mr. Allium said he will pay up after rejecting it once and was forced to pay, and instead contacted Gjallahorn to back him up, but Gjallahorn abandoned him. He decides to take matters in his own hands, but his staff over the phone got attacked and arrested by Akihiro, Ride, and the newbie with brown blonde hair. Orga asked him to pay up, which Mr Allium try to stall again, only for Mikazuki to open fire at him after dropping four of his favourite dates on the floor.

Back at Sakura Farm, Atra and Kudelia have a talk. Kudelia can go back to her office the next day, They discuss about Mikzuki's study and the farm under his research.Embi and other kids can read and write better than Mikazuki. Kudelia blamed her approach caused Allium to act that way. She wants to stop the cycle of revenge for the sake of Tekkadan. Allium's murder was silenced by Gjallahorn under McGillis Fareed. Ride, Tekkadan chief mechanic, and the blonde hair with black base boy are at Chryse half-metal mine surveying the outlook, which doesn't look prospecting. They found another Gundam Frame from the ground, and another one that is even larger nearby and wasn't shown.
Gaviscon, no Gjallahorn to provide some stomach relief
Something alien

Orga got invited to Ares, Gjallahorn's Mars HQ, to meet with McGillis Fareed. They meet, and Orga thanked McGillis for his help to clear the issue with Terra Liberion. McGillis offered Orga an alliance with his Gjallahorn, proclaimed to reform the corrupted Gjallahorn. Orga asked for the benefit of their alliance, and after McGillis said he will continue to offer benefits for Tekkadan, they both agreed to form an alliance.
Your enemy is my enemy

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS-Episode 28

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS-Episode 28


The episode start with Kurdelia watching Biscuit's sisters (Cookie and Cracker) introduce her farm to her. Mikazuki is trying to introduce crops other than corns because corns alone is insufficient. The girls are going back to school, so the farm was given to Kurdelia for care.

The transport team of Tekkadan was given full access to space logistical route of Gjallahorn.
They meet up with Gjallahorn ship, which is only one instead of five. The reason is because the fastest ship was sent to aid them to combat 3 Dawn Horizon ships at the Mars route located 12 hours from their coordinate. The leader of that Dawn Horizon corps is Sandoval Reuters. Mcgillis Fareed ask Tekkadan and the single ship of Gjallahorn to engage the Dawn Horizon fleet before they regroup with their main fleet. Orga was unhappy that they were used as a gambling chip, and Gjallahorn promised reward for Orga for the mission's success. Orga agreed, but demand to take command of the operation. Eugene was tasked with control of Tekkadan's Isaribi ship.
Orga was forced to take a break by the lady from Teiwaz, and go to meet with Mikazuki. Orga warned Mikazuki of the danger from both sides, and Mikazuki promised to make way for Tekkadan's success. Atra was outside the door, listening.
Gjallahorn's ship Adriadne and Tekkadan's Isaribi both engaged Dawn Horizon Corps ships at the designated coordinate. Tekkadan's scout reported that there are 10 ships in total, greatly outnumbered the original report of Gjallahorn's 3 ships. The ships all stacked serially when traveling in space. One of the Horizon Dawn's ship ferry 3 others to reduce Ahab wave reading and mask the presence of other ships. The enemy ship sends a LCS communication to Isaribi.
Dawn Horizon Corps admiral Sandoval Reuters offer Orga a chance to surrender, and Orga replid that he will give the admiral a chance to apologize for disturbing their operations. They both reach a stalemate and battle commence. Eugene takes full command of Isaribi. They plan to dash right trough the blockade of ships to avoid being surrounded. Mikazuki is to rush in front and attract enemy's mobile suit's attention with his Gundam Barbatos. Akihiro Altland was tasked in the defense of Isaribi with Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City. The battle commence, and the defense team takes down enemy mobile suits in good co-op.
Some ship shot 3 Nano-Mirror smoke missiles and exploded near enemy ship to provide smoke screen. The three ships exit from Nano-Mirror smoke after shooting and charging blindly into the smoke. and decide to counter-attack from the left wing of the Dawn Horizon Corps. Dawn Horizon decide to make a turn to the rear of the three ships, and all Tekkadan's Mobile Suits have been recalled back for resupply.

Ride was almost wipe out by enemy Mobile Suit unit when the Naze girls helped him out. The interface is very hard to control. Then Akihiro also was out of ammo when fighting enemy Mobile suit, so he abandon his guns and raise his hand weapon, a Space Cutter for workers. The enemy Mobile suit surrenders, so the girls of Naze request Akihiro to retreat. Mikazuki is targeting Dawn Horizon Corps' admiral ship alone, still fighting, and decide to destroy enemy Mobile Suit one by one. The admiral said to his staff that human debris are easy to use, they have nowhere to go, so they fight wildly, like animals. He then felt that their fighting power is insufficient, and decide to deploy their expert Gundam pilots.
Dawn Horizon Gundam pilots
The battle got tied up, and the Dawn Horizon Corp Gundam pilot managed to disarm the new Mobile Suits of Tekkadan. Mikazuki return back to ship to repair, refuel and restock. Atra come in from a connected chamber and passed some Tortillas filled with meat and vegetable.
Ahh! Fresh meat
The refuelers commented that Mikazuki has the highest fuel efficiency. He moves most but use the least fuel. Ride's Mobile Suit and Akihiro's Gusion sustain many damage and the repair equipment is too complex for the dock worker to repair on time. Orga requested them to do it as fast as possible, because he felt that victory is very near. Gjallahorn arrive and provide support fire at the left flank of Dawn Horizon fleet. Captain Iok lead the Gjallahorn support fleet. The phantom mask man felt agitated when Tekkadan and McGillis was linked to the ships involved in battle. The fleet is under Commander Rustel Elion of the Seven Star, Outer Orbit fleet.
 Don't attack us or we strike your back
The Tekkadan enter into a short scuffle with the Gjallahorn Outer Orbit fleet because they are of different command. Orga ordered his fleet and Mobile Suits to avoid contact as much as possible with the new Gjallahorn fleet. Dawn Horizon admiral is angry for the sudden backup, and demand his ships to make their route to the debris zone (caused by Calamity Wars 300 years prior)
The admiral Sandoval decides to pilot a Gundam to lure enemy fire. Iok of Gjallahorn also decide to pilot a Gundam (Reginlaze) and go into battle. The crzy blond girl working for Rustel, Julieta Juris, launch out first to try to kill enemy and gain credit. Sandoval then pilot his Gundam (Hugo) and move to battle. A Mobile Suit attacking his underling became his victim. One of Tekkadan Mobile Suit pilot send image of the mobile suit piloted by Dawn Horizon Corps' admiral
Alive and kicking after his suit is broken to pieces.
Julieta blocked Mikazuki from going after Sandoval, wanting to claim the credit for her superior.
Killjoy. The type of prick that will dump the food than let anyone have it
That concludes the end of the anime

Thank you GundamInfo, Sunrise, and GunPla for the anime.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS-Episode 26: NEW BLOOD

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS-Episode 26: NEW BLOOD

Teiwaz accepts Takkaden as their subsidiary, and take on many businesses, including making new mass manufactured Mobile Suits (based off Hyakurin and Hyakudan) for combat. Takkaden accepts many new recruits that knew not the real person in the legend, but admired the heroes in the battle that place Kurdelia as the heroine that brought equality and peace for people oppressed by Gjallahorn. Children became more prominent in the military usage due to the success of Takkaden that consist of children in battle.

One of the recruit is always in the limelight, though he always seem to like the legend, don't know the real heroes in person. 

Kurdelia rejected the proposal of a company's boss (Terra Librionis) from using her in their business in Chryse, and decide to threaten the mining in Abrau, and the result is the attack of 2500 units of Mobile Miners and Mobile Suits. They duke it out, and Mikazuki joined in midway by dropping from space and tipped the balance back to Takkaden that got outnumbered in Mobile Suit battle.

We have a glimpse of McGillis having a word battle with the Seven Stars, and managed to get their main army to focus on quelling Mars's dissent. That concludes the end of the anime.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS-Episode 24 and 25: TEKKADAN

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS-Episode 24 and 25: TEKKADAN


At episode 24 - 12:15. Orga's speech is most memorable. They (Takkedan) sacrificed their life to break the barricade set by Gjallahorn that prevents Makanai from reaching the parliament. This episode is one of the most memorable if not the most, as all the members of Tekkadan was forced to hold their stance with their life. Members are fighting with Gjallahorn building up barricade outside Oceania parliament.
Ein from Mars (in a gargantuan mobile suit, left pic) entered the civilian area to prevent Makanai and Kudelia Aina Bernstein from reaching the parliament of Oceania. The use of Ahab reactor in a civilian zone forced all electronics, electrical, and communication system to shut down. Mikazuki was forced to enter the civilian zone and managed to protect the armoured vehicle ferrying Kudelia and Makanai. Orga reposition his Mobile Worker and ferry them to the parliament. Ein killed a Tekkadan's Mobile Worker that tried to aim his gun at Ein's Mobile Suit, showing the great prowess and detection of the new Alaya-Vijnana system that incorporates the entire body of Ein with the Mobile Suit. The battle was terrible, with Mikazuki just barely defending.


In Episode 25, Kudelia was asked to make a speech by Makanai on his behalf during his parliamentary election. Mikazuki forces his Alaya-Vijnana system and Barbatos, the Mobile suit he's piloting to produce larger feedback and control to match Ein's system response timing. The battle was still one-sided until Mikazuki experience blood loss on his eyes and nose, indicating a heavy load on his nervous system. Orga asked his follower Tekkadan member to setup LCS drones across the entire battlefield to inform their allies to stop risking their lives and just protect themselves rather than charging headlong into enemy fortifications. McGillis Fareed joined the battle at the outskirts and let known his intention to his childhood friend, Gaelio Bauduin. They both battle it out, with McGillis on the winning side, and corner his friend emotionally and force him to give up his defence. After beraking Gaelio's mind, Gaelio charged at McGillis, only to be pierced by his twin attached retractable blades Mobile Suit. The battle ends with McGillis's victory and no eyewitness, and Mikazuki abandoned all his MS's platings and only with the frame, strike at Ein's MS joints at both arms and killing him by stabbing into the cockpit. The war was over, and what McGillis has envisioned come to pass. Takkedan will continue to grow from then onwards, lead by Orga to make a home for the orphans in Takkedan.
That concludes the ending for the season

Spoiler game synopsis

Cool Gundam Anime - Iron Blooded Orphan


MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS

Episode 1

Episode 3-5 is in English Dub, so if you want pure Japanese English sub, you need to search elsewhere.

The story is basically quite frank, and killings and blood is quite common.
The blood pouring out of the mobile frame when Captain Crank got killed is just strange.
Orgo and Mikazuki have a relationship quite close to BL, they both have full trust with each other.
I think it is beautiful, though I'm not into BL stuff.

I apologize in advance in any spelling mistake from the names, as there is no subtitles and I just hear their names verbally without confirming them in wikipedia. Just send me a message if it offend anyone, and I will correct it.

Thank you Gundam.info for the good quality video.
