They are doing a great job at making the Gundams and CB look like the bad guys. From Hallelujah being a sadistic bastard (though awesome) to the downright ruthless way Tieria kills people, and even Alejandro being a child molester (imagined, but come on) and Lui-Mei coldly pondering how incompetent they all are.

Even though Soma is supposed to be some soulless genetically modified soldier, she seems to have a really good sense of honor. That and her Taozi can sure take one hell of a beating. Those shots from Kyrios normally explode a generic mobile suit, but Soma took several barrages of it, even if Hallelujah was just toying with her.

By the way, Kyrios' scissor blade is one awesome weapon.

I'm still left trying to figure out why Saji and Louise are in the story. Comedy relief?
