You can learn a lot from Guel: - Recognize when you've made a mistake - Be honest about your feelings - Kill your dad - Don't be afraid to ask for help
Guel is honestly becoming one of those S-tier gundam side characters! a really good dark horse rival for Suletta, and great for pushing her development, whether that's helping her gain confidence by taking those Ls in early season 1, or breaking her completely at the end of this episode. honestly very excited to see where he and Suletta end up, especially because he obviously wasn't comfortable with what he helped do to her in this episode
lol, a “side” character? He may not be one of this show’s two protagonists, but Guel’s been hyped up on the main Gundam website as one of G-Witch’s *main cast* since the beginning.
@@lawrence8015 i like Guel but the "he should be the protag" people legit baffle me. most of the best stuff about him is his interactions with Suletta and how they push her, that wouldn't work if he was the mc
SuleBETA: CRINGEWORTHILY manipulated into doing terrible things just because she was RAISED IN ISOLATION by an EXTREMELY ABUSIVE MOTHER, cries like a little BITCH just because the woman she loved BROKE HER BITCH ASS BETA-CUCK HEART, dumb FLAT character because her development isn't OBVIOUSLY SIGNPOSTED to the AUDIENCE Guel CHADterk: has a FASTER and MORE EXPLICIT arc because he's a SIDE CHARACTER who the script obviously has to TREAT DIFFERENTLY from a main character who is meant to carry the ENTIRE RUN OF THE SHOW
@@potatomongrel She was already trying to kill him in that duel lol When she stole the Darilbalde's arm bits, she aimed that at his cockpit. Then she started charging up her big gun, a gun that was shown to cause serious damage even when it's set at the duel parameters and you don't need to score a direct hit to destroy stuff. If she was aiming that gun at the Darilbalde's head, guel's cockpit would have been melted
Great video, four little nitpicks. You forgot to mention that he did the Char kick and that he felt really bad about beating Suletta because he knows how devastated she's going to be. You forgot to mention that he reality checked Miorine about how there's no magic place in the solar system free from corporate war and mobile suits. You also forgot to mention that he developed the alter ego of Bob, a man who can mesh with the working folk and do an honest day's work well.
He's the best male Spacian (better than Grassley House's members too), while the other male Spacians are cruel, scheming and always up to someting no good, look at Shaddiq Zenelli, who didn't just allow terrorists into the school but led to Guel losing his father. The only other Spacian male I knew who atleast had something was Elan 4 (Ice Prince), he shouldn't have been grilled.
@@ohishwaddup the Haro kid too, he's neutral. But what I mean to say is as he is a male spacian, he is better than most other male spacians I have seen.
something that itch me, is that his brother has something strange on him, and his father were developing a gundam... remember that suletta could pilot the gundam because eri were there, if bandai put the brother of guel in the gundam developed by the jeturk company, it is almost possible that guel can pilot it without dying, but that can be just a mere theory.
If I had to say one thing, it's that that Happy Birthday was never for Guel. It was for Suletta's innocence/mental state. Everything else checks out and we love a supporting character with great character development
@@HubiKoshi to be fair, AGAIN. It's Eri decision to stop Suletta beaming Guel, tho. Remember the short novel when aERIal want to embrace Prospera revenge but didn't want Suletta follow it.
@@HubiKoshi he would not have died, the schools OS stops mobile suits from targeting the cockpit or doing any lethal damage, plus if Sulletta killed the CEO of Jeturk in a school based duel, all hell would break loose.
@@captainchungus2140 That thing melted legs off of a Mobile Suit in Vacuum just by passing by while still under the regulations you mentioned. Hitting anywhere Near Guel's suit would have melted it and even if not then it would cook him alive inside of it. Those regulations were not made with consideration for the kind of firepower Aerial has at its disposal. And honestly considering Aerial is a True AI I'm not even sure how effective those OS limitations truly are.
episode 17 shows how messed up suletta's way of thinking, even though she didn't realize how bad it is. Look, she even willing to do stupid thing in order to win. If colony walls can be compromised with Lfrith Ur's beam gatling gun, imagine what will happen if the beam cannon hit it.
Thats the point, suletta is too gullible in her innocence, she doesn't fully understand what she is doing at times and i am damn sure she does a lot of stuff just to be liked by others, i am afraid this is a bioshock protagonist situation... if you know, you know
I would say wanting to win on his own terms in the second duel also qualifies him. I was rooting for him that fight because his pride meant he wanted to win because of his own skill. Also, frantically trying to save a child who only moments before was trying to kill him. One of the best Gundam characters in a long time
He had that luxury because he's a side character , it takes a lot more for a main character because some would feel it cheap. A side character doesn't need much screen time in order to be good just needs proper execution. A main character needs more than execution to be like by a lot and they suffer more if they aren't well done.
The people who say "Guel is the real protagonist!" are deluded. However there is no doubt that this dude is the tritagonist of this story, to Suletta's protagonist & Miorine's deuteragonist. Man was getting solo scenes completely apart from the main setting to further develop his character before once again becoming an integral part of the main plot. Guel Jeturk has got a character arc that any creative would be proud to have written & participated in. Love my shitkids who wind up breaking good, one of my favorite character tropes.
yeah fr like, the reason his arc is so clear and quick is because he's a side character and that lets the script skip over a lot of what he's doing. like, it's a good arc, and Guel is 100% a good character, but if he was the protaganist he literally would not have had this character arc, it's insane to say he should be the mc
That just says how good his arc is. Guel basically speedrun Amuro's development from 0079 to Zeta. MC or not, you can't deny he's a great contender for the good guys' side against the inevitable war vs Shaddiq's side.
@@TheRibbonRed idk i think Guel's arc is way closer to someone like Kamille than Amuro. Guel and Kamille both start out very violent and try to solve all their problems by punching them, and then suffer a gauntlet of horrible traumas (including accidentally killing their parents and then being drafted by terrorist groups) that kinda beat a lot of that toxic masculinity out of them
@@concon09090 not exactly, no. Kamille's tendency to violence stayed with him up until the end of Zeta. Meanwhile, Guel ditched that the 2nd time he lost to Suletta; becoming a recluse much like Amuro did mid 0079 war to Zeta. They both even come with the trauma of piloting an MS, though Amuro lost two of his loved ones (his dad & Lalah) while Guel just lost his father.
The first fight with Aerial gave me goosebumps when Suletta won. But the third fight gave me even greater goosebumps. Guel was not only fighting a beast of an AI and Suletta, he was also fighting his PTSD from excidently killing his father, all the lives he failed to protect on Earth, the Pride of his family company, the hopes of his brother and friends, all while using a previous suit but with different weapons. I dont care at all how he’d won with help, he stood his ground,fought proudly and clearly was at a disadvantage the entire fight. Gigachad certified.
he wasn't fighting the ai this time, the first duel with the darilbalde him and the ai are constantly fighting for control of the darilbalde, in the second fight guel learns to fight WITH the ai, and let it do the support while he does the main suits controls, mirroring him as a character becoming more open and accepting not only other peoples help, but getting rid of his pride and ego, and btw I agree with you, guel was winning the duel until sulletta used the basically cheat power of aerial to shut down the darilbalde, to which miorine did the exact same thing to sulletta, realistically guel won due to sulletta getting all spiteful and taking out her giant zeta/hyakushiki buster rifle, to take out guel, instead of just finishing him off quickly, sulletta would've lost before she shut down the darilbalde anyway
@@Peasham he doesent care about Earthians, he cares about the stray childrens because he was also cast away. He can relate to them, that is why he tried to save them.
Failure is supposed to be the greatest teacher. Guel failed to beat Suletta twice, Elan 4 also beat him. Humbled the man to the point he ran away and became Bob. Then he learns what he’s willing to do to stay alive and his father gives him nice parting words. I had high hopes when he soared up with the little girl, that he’d finally find a win, but no. That’s not how real life is, and Guel is about as real as a character can be in Gundam. But now he’s doing everything he can for the woman he loves, even if she won’t understand what he’s doing. I feel genuine sorrow for him, yet I have hopes he will save Suletta in the end.
What he and Miorine did directly resulted in Suletta being brainwashed even worse, with the addition of now hating herself, he ain't saving anyone lmao
That’s such a good point that people HEAVILY underestimate how op aerial is in comparison to even other gundarms. She has her own Funnels and this timeline’s version of an I field RIGHT FROM THE GETGO. This is the kind of shit gundam mc’s get as their end-of-series power up. Not to mention now she’s out here CONTROLLING funnels too and that was before we were even halfway into season two. Really does almost feel fanmade at that point
yeah shows that have a really powerful protag can't possibly still have interesting emotional drama and conflicts. everyone hates Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man
@@concon09090 well that’s not the point I made at all dumbass. Show isn’t bad nor good because of aerial’s strength, it’s just a fact that her suit is way stronger than any other in the series so far.
@@concon09090 I can see how hard it is to do so, but at least Saitama from One Punch Man has a character, and it's just dumb fun to see him on action. No need for a complex power system/power ups, just a dude doing dumb things but are super powerful. I haven't seen Mob Psycho 100 yet so no comment on that.
@@ducpham1478 I just don't understand the argument that Suletta doesn't have a character. Like, it's right there, on the screen, that she's an abused kid with a very weak sense of self who is desperate to feel useful to the people she cares about, because she equates being useful with being loved. She is not the boisterous, over the top presence of a protagonist like Domon from G-Fighter, she's closer to someone like Amuro whose characteristics have to be taken in context with the extreme levels of trauma they've been through. That doesn't make her a flat character, that just makes her a different kind of character. On the subject of her being OP, yes, she is, but so is literally every Gundam protagonist. Amuro is a powerful Newtype in the specialest robot ever, Mikazuki can kill an AI monster in single combat, Setsuna F. Seiei is the first of a new generation of Innovators, Kira Yamato is... Kira Yamato. A Gundam protagonist being overpowered isn't inherently good or bad, it's a function of the formula that can be executed well, or badly. In Suletta's case, it's executed well, because her power comes from that weak sense of self being exploited by her mother, and it plays into her loneliness because her power alienates people and isolates her socially. Her ability to pilot the robot real good doesn't help the fact that the girl she likes just ripped her heart out, or that her mother doesn't love her, or that she's so neurotic that she had a meltdown over a missing packed lunch. It's almost like her character is a really solid exploration of one of Gundam's main themes, which is that brute force is an insufficient tool for humans to understand one another.
Maybe it's just my nitpick, but it would be nicer if he returns to the academy a few episodes after episode 15. I'd be interested to see his journey on Earth while he makes his way to the space elevator. He can learn about how Earth people live and change his perspective.
He’s not an MC and should never be one. If you start focusing on him like an MC you’ll realize a lot of his growth has holes in it due to being a side character, which makes sense but would suck under an MC lens
Honestly, what the fuck was Suletta thinking when preparing that Wing Gundam buster canon? She was so in her emotions that I wonder if she would of killed Guel, especially since his suit lost a lot of its mobility. Sure, you can argue that Suletta is capable, and has done so many duels to where she would likely just blow off the head. However, were there any duels that she would bust out the canon? (Were there actually, because I don’t remember).
He is already great after chapter 1. When his father arranged his duel loss to Suletta to be voided, he already appear to be ashamed of it himself as he toned down his bullying. And when he lost once again after every help he gotten with his father’s schemes, and lost his pretigious position and reputation, he didnt show any hate or resentment towards Suletta who defeated him. Instead he fell for her and asked for marriage. But yeah. What a big hearted man he is. Imagine you losing everything from your prestigious reputation, trust, and even his place to live as he had to live as a hobo after he got kicked out of his dorm, and you didnt have the slighest resentment towards the one who caused it even if she won it fair and square. He is truly a man destined for greatness.
@@Peasham frfr, i'd rather take that than overpowered mc from the beginning of the series that doesn't have any hardship and goal, and his whole purpose of existence is to make girls moan and shake their assets
i mean he did have ptsd mid fight at the perfect opportunity to win the match, not to mentioned Aerial is pretty much the most OP MS in the story, the fact that he has a chance against it at all is a feat on its own.
Does anyone think this guy would have his own side story manga? There are mangas for fan favourite rival characters like Char, Athrun and others... I think Guel deserves his own WFM side story manga... He has good character development and he's becoming a fan favourite too...
It doesn't even end here. He then proceeds to defeat Shaddiq in his first ever triumphant win with no caveats or downsides, and then finally almost sacrifices himself to prevent Lauda from going through the same thing he did (before being saved by best girl Felsi)
Just wanna remind people that Guel is already a prodigy in piloting mobile suit, the reason he lost twice is because his pride gets the better of him. First he blindly charged at Aerial unknowingly it has bits and second Darilbalde has a learning AI installed but instead of using it he deactivate it proudly believing his skill alone would be enough to defeat Aerial Rebuild. That's why he said, "pride alone won't be enough to defeat Suletta Mercury" and proceed to leave the AI in Darilbalde Kai to help him fight. This proves works because the AI learning how the enemy's pattern move set work and proceed to help Guel win the fight, that and a little bit of help from his friends (to overcome his mental state from PTSD) and Miorine. PS : also just wanna add his style of wearing his jacket. At first i thought it's kinda lame that he wore the jacket like that (looking like a highschool bully fanboy) but after all this, the way he wear his jacket remind me of Artoria Pendragon (Lancer) from FGO/Fate series. She's a king who wear a cape just like how Guel did to his jacket and her armor has the shape of a lion, just like the emblem of Jeturk. So that makes Guel Jeturk, "The Lion King".
Our guy was an asshole at the start, but man did he really go through it over the course of the series. And in the end when he is fighting his brother, I couldn't help but think "A true paladin will sheathe his sword"
I don't know why, Bob-... I mean Guel feels more like the protagonist that Bandai hides. from now on I named you as Guel Aznable & give this man the most RED MS!
I think the scariest thing here is how Suletta was ready to straight up kill Guel to win that duel - the UberLaser9000 was capaple of cutting swathes through a fleet at the same level it was during the duel. Even if it wasn't aimed at the cockpit, Guel almost certainly would've died if she had fired it.
Can't help but repeatedly watch his comback against Suletta after pushing through his PTSD. Favorite moment even though it's short and mostly his Suit's AI's doing.
@@THEBEAST-yo8uu Yeah. The only person she has killed so far she was brainwashed into killing and was still 100% justified. Without the brainwashing, she broke down at her mother killing people in self defense and begged Aerial not to kill Sophie, which was also in self-defense.
@@squishmellowspeaks6785 You're right, I think Mio has more of a sexual tension with Shaddiq. But I see Guel as a better person, and he deserves to win more than Shaddiq.
@@MrWhiterunGuard bro what? She hates Shaddiq and is not interested in Guel. Literally the only person she has interest in is Suletta, and the ending song already hinted at them ending up together

You can learn a lot from Guel:
- Recognize when you've made a mistake
- Be honest about your feelings
- Kill your dad
- Don't be afraid to ask for help
Wait a just goddamn minute----
Yeah!
Yeah!
Eh???
Yeah!
"Don't be afraid to ask for help-" killing your dad.
Wait the third point is what?
@@Devinarde the most important bit
Surviving the Happy Birthday song is a big triumph.
True, but I feel like the Happy Birthday song had a different target in mind; Suletta's winning streak.
True, I believe the Happy Birthday tone was not ment for Guel
For now that is..
It wasn't his birthday
Sulleta looked like she was about to vaporize him lmao
Guel went from my least favourite and most hated to my fav out of them all.
He's such an amazing character with great development
Agree. The last time my least favourite character went into my most favourite is Kazami. Both has great character development.
Ep3 made him instantly likable
Like man that sudden proposal was GOLDEN
@@RickyFSeiei ayeee saaaaammeeeee 😂never thought I'd hear him randomly
Guel is a great character, only Thorfinn in Vinland Saga had a more dramatic transformation this season.
Let's be real, he's the only character in the show to get good character development.
Guel overcoming his PTSD head-on tears me up. also impressive battle there.
He did it while fighting the most op gundam too
My man beat plot armor
Guel is honestly becoming one of those S-tier gundam side characters! a really good dark horse rival for Suletta, and great for pushing her development, whether that's helping her gain confidence by taking those Ls in early season 1, or breaking her completely at the end of this episode. honestly very excited to see where he and Suletta end up, especially because he obviously wasn't comfortable with what he helped do to her in this episode

This comment has spoilers doesn't it? God damnit
“Gigachad is no particular person but a state of mind all humanity wishes to achieve”
True, is like a state when someone can overcome his weakness but staying in good character
We are all weighed down by gravity tho
Guel radiating big shonen protagonist vibe is hilariously glorious and ironic considering how he was first introduced.
Especially the part where people and his brother scream Nii-san to get him out of PTSD. I swear I only see those parts happening to anime protag.

One of the best Gundam characters in a long time
The fact he survives happy birthday alone is enough to put him into GOAT status
His character arc was honestly my favorite he went from being a guy I disliked to my precious boy that deserves to be happy
Still, every time Guel wins, he's gonna hurt his loved ones in some ways. There's no easy way for our boi.
He almost went through what all past gundam protagonists have to go through in just one and a half seaons. True chad Guel lol

@@concon09090 well that’s not the point I made at all dumbass. Show isn’t bad nor good because of aerial’s strength, it’s just a fact that her suit is way stronger than any other in the series so far.
@@concon09090 I can see how hard it is to do so, but at least Saitama from One Punch Man has a character, and it's just dumb fun to see him on action. No need for a complex power system/power ups, just a dude doing dumb things but are super powerful.
I haven't seen Mob Psycho 100 yet so no comment on that.
I think the point is that while they have OP weapons, it doesn't really matter in the grand context
@@ducpham1478 I just don't understand the argument that Suletta doesn't have a character. Like, it's right there, on the screen, that she's an abused kid with a very weak sense of self who is desperate to feel useful to the people she cares about, because she equates being useful with being loved. She is not the boisterous, over the top presence of a protagonist like Domon from G-Fighter, she's closer to someone like Amuro whose characteristics have to be taken in context with the extreme levels of trauma they've been through. That doesn't make her a flat character, that just makes her a different kind of character.
On the subject of her being OP, yes, she is, but so is literally every Gundam protagonist. Amuro is a powerful Newtype in the specialest robot ever, Mikazuki can kill an AI monster in single combat, Setsuna F. Seiei is the first of a new generation of Innovators, Kira Yamato is... Kira Yamato. A Gundam protagonist being overpowered isn't inherently good or bad, it's a function of the formula that can be executed well, or badly. In Suletta's case, it's executed well, because her power comes from that weak sense of self being exploited by her mother, and it plays into her loneliness because her power alienates people and isolates her socially. Her ability to pilot the robot real good doesn't help the fact that the girl she likes just ripped her heart out, or that her mother doesn't love her, or that she's so neurotic that she had a meltdown over a missing packed lunch. It's almost like her character is a really solid exploration of one of Gundam's main themes, which is that brute force is an insufficient tool for humans to understand one another.
To the best character in the entire series as well as the only one to have a really good character arc.
Salute!
Bob best boy
Maybe it's just my nitpick, but it would be nicer if he returns to the academy a few episodes after episode 15. I'd be interested to see his journey on Earth while he makes his way to the space elevator. He can learn about how Earth people live and change his perspective.
who knows, maybe we see some of this introduced as flashbacks
hes the main reason im still watching
Honestly, the cheap win probably saved his life. She was preparing to melt him with the big gun 😅
Cheap win? Said that to Eri that didn't want Suletta took Prospera's revenge plan on Delling and took an act tho
the whole aerial being controlled by Eri and Suletta is a cheat too. To be fair Guel fares extremely well against a cheating machine
The MC we deserved, but did not need.
He’s not an MC and should never be one. If you start focusing on him like an MC you’ll realize a lot of his growth has holes in it due to being a side character, which makes sense but would suck under an MC lens
@@squishmellowspeaks6785 shut up Suletta
@@zsazsa3814 So how about that latest episode where he's completely bitchmade and unable to do anything lmao
guel was the true MC this hole time
Honestly, what the fuck was Suletta thinking when preparing that Wing Gundam buster canon? She was so in her emotions that I wonder if she would of killed Guel, especially since his suit lost a lot of its mobility. Sure, you can argue that Suletta is capable, and has done so many duels to where she would likely just blow off the head. However, were there any duels that she would bust out the canon? (Were there actually, because I don’t remember).
He is already great after chapter 1. When his father arranged his duel loss to Suletta to be voided, he already appear to be ashamed of it himself as he toned down his bullying. And when he lost once again after every help he gotten with his father’s schemes, and lost his pretigious position and reputation, he didnt show any hate or resentment towards Suletta who defeated him. Instead he fell for her and asked for marriage.
But yeah. What a big hearted man he is. Imagine you losing everything from your prestigious reputation, trust, and even his place to live as he had to live as a hobo after he got kicked out of his dorm, and you didnt have the slighest resentment towards the one who caused it even if she won it fair and square. He is truly a man destined for greatness.
True Gundam main character guel, sole reason to keep me watching.
He might be side character, but deep inside, he is the main protagonist
Always has been
I like how the standard for MC is "dude trying and failing to get on the actual protagonist's level"
@@Peasham frfr, i'd rather take that than overpowered mc from the beginning of the series that doesn't have any hardship and goal, and his whole purpose of existence is to make girls moan and shake their assets
Can't wait for Guel to cure Suletta gayness. she obviously loves him
Yeah. Guel’s character development is pretty amazing. I’m hoping he lives.
literally the best written character in the show
That guel fighting scene was make him enough Chad
First person to both survive the "Happy Birthday" curse and won against Suletta.
Albeit illegitimately.
i mean he did have ptsd mid fight at the perfect opportunity to win the match, not to mentioned Aerial is pretty much the most OP MS in the story, the fact that he has a chance against it at all is a feat on its own.
"Survived the Happy Birthday song."
True, but I feel like the song had a different target in mind; Suletta's winning streak.
Or aerial
he fought his own brother to bring him back to his senses almost costing his life
I didn't realize he survived the happy birthday song curse, can't be more gigachad then that
You should have included the part where he got kicked from his own house and got bullied by others in his camp
and firmly held his pride when Shaddiq tried to recruit him.
Does anyone think this guy would have his own side story manga?
There are mangas for fan favourite rival characters like Char, Athrun and others... I think Guel deserves his own WFM side story manga... He has good character development and he's becoming a fan favourite too...
sometimes it took a great push in order for someone to be reborn anew, and guel... i knew he would do that ever since the second duel
It doesn't even end here. He then proceeds to defeat Shaddiq in his first ever triumphant win with no caveats or downsides, and then finally almost sacrifices himself to prevent Lauda from going through the same thing he did (before being saved by best girl Felsi)
i like how that precious person proceeds to break sulleta in the same episode lmao (even if miomio was doing it for sulleta)
What a nice character development .. ❤
Best character in wom
I began to love him when he set up a tent
The best character
Just wanna remind people that Guel is already a prodigy in piloting mobile suit, the reason he lost twice is because his pride gets the better of him. First he blindly charged at Aerial unknowingly it has bits and second Darilbalde has a learning AI installed but instead of using it he deactivate it proudly believing his skill alone would be enough to defeat Aerial Rebuild. That's why he said, "pride alone won't be enough to defeat Suletta Mercury" and proceed to leave the AI in Darilbalde Kai to help him fight. This proves works because the AI learning how the enemy's pattern move set work and proceed to help Guel win the fight, that and a little bit of help from his friends (to overcome his mental state from PTSD) and Miorine.
PS : also just wanna add his style of wearing his jacket. At first i thought it's kinda lame that he wore the jacket like that (looking like a highschool bully fanboy) but after all this, the way he wear his jacket remind me of Artoria Pendragon (Lancer) from FGO/Fate series. She's a king who wear a cape just like how Guel did to his jacket and her armor has the shape of a lion, just like the emblem of Jeturk. So that makes Guel Jeturk, "The Lion King".
guel is a classic gundam protagonist at peak form. suletta is a ple clone even if she's framed as the narrative protagonist here.
great character arc, it was subtle and realistically done, gigachad sigma guel fr fr
BOB IS THE MAN
Everyone else when birthday song being played :☠️☠️☠️
Meanwhile Bob : 😎😎😎
I still hold that happy birthday wan’t playing for Guel. It was playing for Suletta.
We are 2. Like, I dont want Sulleta to kill Guel, but I didnt want to see her so bad as I saw in this episode
@@lucasgoncalves1390 I don’t want to know what Eri was apologizing to Suletta for right before Mio turned Aerial off…
no it was for Eri. The Ms was shut down durring the battle.
Guel is a badass but can we just notice the fact sullete would have killed him if this wasn’t a farce like sheesh that would have went bad
Hes become my favorite character
So good to see charachter development and growth
What do you mean it's Guel? that's clearly Bob.
Our guy was an asshole at the start, but man did he really go through it over the course of the series. And in the end when he is fighting his brother, I couldn't help but think "A true paladin will sheathe his sword"
I've never been so satisfied seeing a Gundam Lose before, That shit was so fucking op- I was cheering for Guel the entire fight.
If him with suletta married to each other.Their baby gonna be The Goat of WfM verse.
Ngl the whole PTSD space thing made me laugh, but ya he's gigachad now.
Guel's character building is just 👌
The first person to survive the Happy Birthday song.😂😂😂😂😂
Yep, a real gigachad.
he deserve this redemption arc. im happy for him.
You forgot about one of the best scenes where he duels Suletta but in fencing.
Let's not forget that he dueled El4n for making Suletta cry.
underrated. best underrated.
Tbf Guel made a right decision swallowing his pride against Sulleta bro fight a 1 V 12 situation
Unlike other characters he doesn't need new haircut for a character development .
Everytime someone ask me why i love guel, i’ll just send them this
Out of all characters in this show, Guel is my most favorite character due to his strong character growth/development throughout the show.
I don't know why, Bob-... I mean Guel feels more like the protagonist that Bandai hides. from now on I named you as Guel Aznable & give this man the most RED MS!
I think the scariest thing here is how Suletta was ready to straight up kill Guel to win that duel - the UberLaser9000 was capaple of cutting swathes through a fleet at the same level it was during the duel. Even if it wasn't aimed at the cockpit, Guel almost certainly would've died if she had fired it.
Can't help but repeatedly watch his comback against Suletta after pushing through his PTSD. Favorite moment even though it's short and mostly his Suit's AI's doing.
This is why Guel is best-girl!!! ❤❤❤
0:35 the scream was the one that made me got a adhd 😂
That’s why i call him guel chadtuck
If Suletta is Lalah as the main character, Guel is basically Amuro as a supporting character.
He really Would have died to that Happy Birthday song if Miorine didn't hit the button.
Was Suletta going to completely obliterate Guel in that last scene? Would've been tragic if it wasn't for Mio's secret plan.
I can't tell if people are seriously asking this lmao, obviously not, Suletta isn't some insane murderer
@@Peasham yeah sure
@@THEBEAST-yo8uu Yeah. The only person she has killed so far she was brainwashed into killing and was still 100% justified. Without the brainwashing, she broke down at her mother killing people in self defense and begged Aerial not to kill Sophie, which was also in self-defense.
Ah yes the zuko treatment
He has the best character development in the show.
i literally started shtting myself laughing when it said (the first person in the show to survive the happy birthday song)
SULETTA used HAPPY BIRTHDAY CURSE!
It doesn't affect GUEL...
Give GUEL a Gundam.
If this was gundam era 2000s he would have fit the protagonist archetype which is having a trauma or self conflict plot
At the start of the show I hated Guel, now I want him to become the MC or get his own show.
Im happy that Guel managed to win the Miorinebowl.
It’s not won yet lmao. Anyone with half a brain can see that there’s still half a season left and Mio won’t stay with him
@@squishmellowspeaks6785 You're right, I think Mio has more of a sexual tension with Shaddiq. But I see Guel as a better person, and he deserves to win more than Shaddiq.
@@MrWhiterunGuard bro what? She hates Shaddiq and is not interested in Guel. Literally the only person she has interest in is Suletta, and the ending song already hinted at them ending up together
@@MrWhiterunGuard not to mention that the trope of “I’m pushing you away to protect you” always ends up with the couple back together
@@squishmellowspeaks6785 Err Suletta is a girl.
Biggest Chad in the show.
Can't believe you left out the Guelcamp segments.
Guel actually had one of the best character arcs in the series. Went from most hated to my favorite character
Alpha Chad Guel turns Beta chump when Suletta is around.
