A love triangle that looks like it'll be the death of more pilots than the one next to Bermuda.

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.

I don't think Machu was particularly well off. I think it's just that her mother has a well-connected government job and got her into that school.

Well, she doesn't seem to be risking hunger, losing the roof over her head or anything like that. Compared to Shuji and Nyaan, the contrast is huge.
