I love it
Not only did her friend to turn out to be a love rival, she is actually her equal in skill and determination
This is so interesting and the pretty city pictures/clothes are just the cherry on top of this mountain of corpses this trio of disaster will produce

Drinking newtypery juice usually has different reactions depending on the individual.

A neat little detail we didn't know before is Machu is apparently pretty well off and doesn't seem like she's struggled for survival much, which reflects in her optimistic and bright piloting and how she sees the world through the Omega-Psycommu.

On the other hand, Nyaan is bitter, beaten down, and vengeful. The Gundam gives her the power to lash out against everything that caused her grief, and now I think she's started to wonder why she has to put up with any of that at all anymore - and, moreover, why would she give that power up to anyone now that she has it.

We kinda knew Machu was well off.
Nice school and her mom works for the gov and only cares about securing machus future (which she finds suffocating).
But yeah the trios dynamic is going to be very interesting from now on.
I don't think Nyyan would relquish her new place easily

I hope that it ends with Nyaan and Machu piloting together somehow, maybe with Shuji riding delirious shotgun

If this were a trigger show he would be the villain 1000%
And then the match up makes sense again

Nah, the matchup makes the most sense if it’s a triad

I mean, to have a mind-merge and just use it for two people feels wasteful, you know?
