@wjs018 I loved this episode, too bad we have to wait 2 weeks to see what Machu does next.
What does everyone think the "rose" is?
I had a shower thought the other day. What if the rose was Garma? And the entirety of GQX is just an elaborate fanship of extra-dimensional Char trying to get back with his long lost love?
Look, I didn't say l liked the idea, just that it came to mind.
Anyway, given how much they're leaning on UC lore to tie the original story bits together, my money is on Lalah being the rose (possibly in a role similar to Marion Welch, just not as extreme).
@MelodiousFunk I don't understand charma, I think Garma's death was one of the only things that made Char truly happy lol.
The rose "awakened" somehow so I am not sure what triggered that... maybe it's something in the Gqux? Since it seemed to wake up and help Machu. I don't know if we ahould assume it's a person though it might be.
Have you seen or read Gundam the Origin? They spend a lot of time together there.
@Unboxious I've read the manga and watched most of the anime (not the last 2 parts.) I know they were roommates and all but it didn't seem like they ever let their guard down around the other. But then again people will ship characters just for standing next to each other so I guess I shouldn't try to find logic in it.
Garma sure did eventually lmao
Yes, and Char is half of one of the most classic yaoi ships so naturally people expect his relationships to move 3x faster.
Really though what I've noticed is that anime fans will basically take whichever two characters have the most screen time together and ship them no matter what. See: Deku x Bakugo.
