I thought this fight was a lot better than I anticipated, considering the outcome was obvious, and at the same time one of the best fights in the show so far. Although I don't know why the hound was such a shock, but the man-models were pretty funny as a detail. The Renato brothers really were fighting a war rather than a simple Gundam duel.

Above all it was good to see Meijin taken down a notch in a believable manner. I'm sure Yuuki's behavior is largely theater dictated by Kawaguchi's character, but it's still annoying.

Mao's fate was pretty funny: He botched his own date and then happened upon the happy group date of Sei, China, Reiji, and Aila.
