This week we cover Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory episode 5: ガンダム、星の海へ or Gundam, to the Sea of Stars. It's an action packed episode featuring new friends, old "friends," and superlative direction. Plus Nina researches the stories of the Imperial Japanese Army's last hold outs in our quest to better understand Lt. Commander Gato.

Show Notes

Japanese WWII Holdouts


The recap music is “80's Synth Rock (Guitar Improvisation)” by Zombie-Fish.

Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario.

You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

The more Gundam I watch & the more Gundam I hear y’all talk about the more convinced I become that “Newtype” (etc.) is just sci-fi for autistic savant

Just as a note, I picked up a Japanese worldbook a bit back which actually had heights for Cima and Gato. Turns out they are, in fact. the same height. I also had a somewhat different impression from Kou's attempts to give an answer for the Gundam equations. With Nina's corrections, he kinda came off as a student trying to check his extra-credit problem. He knew Nina knew the answer, and he wanted to show her that he could do the work like he expected her to expect from him. Not "I know the Gundam better than you!" but "I learned the thing about the Gundam you were trying to teach me!". Not that it came off any better, but the poor dope was trying.
