[Gundam Thunderbolt] The contrast between light and dark is too extreme.

I’ll be targeting you someday… You laughed at my prosthetic leg… I’m Corporal Daryl Lawrence. Lieutenant Io Fleming, keep the speaker ON at all times. If Zeon is listening… I’ll be singing in a full chorus.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does Io completely lack the potential of a New Type?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

>>1

There is a little.

If there were absolutely none, you wouldn’t even be able to receive.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

If I’m called to the NT space, I can enter it, and I do have some potential, after all.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

If only Darryl didn’t get caught up with the monk…

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>4

I feel like even without the priest, I would have fought alongside the Zeon remnants if it were the Zeon remnants.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>7

It actually happened like that.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, I wonder how Daryl is treated back in his home country.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>5

From the perspective of the republic, they are nothing but deserters.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Deserter

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

It’s not at all the Federation vs. Zeon!

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before I knew it, Io had become like a typical protagonist.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it normal?

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Too bright and cheerful, getting along well with Callisto.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

Originally, Io and Darryl are not much different from the young people around them.

Religion is scary.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>14

War drives people mad…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Daryl was fortunate to go there without knowing that Fisher and the others had killed their comrades.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

It’s still too early to think that it will end with the light and dark divided like this.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It is undeniable that Daryl is seeking conflict, but the fact that he has ended up with a combat prosthetic is a big reason for that.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

When I think about it that way, it seems like it rolled down in the same manner as Mikazuki Augus.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>19

It’s not so much that I’m seeking conflict; outside of the battlefield, I’m just a mere disabled person.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather than light and dark, it’s more like bipolar disorder.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

I’m sweating a lot, but it’s a relaxed kind of tension…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Karla was also quite careful with her words since it was something she started herself.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most of the works are just about the battle against cults.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

The Zanskar Empire is also, in a sense, quite large.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s true that the P Zak was too free, but that aside, the person themselves is to blame.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I think the author’s idea that the new type of sensitivity is perfect for the leader of a new religion is genius.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

What is that light instead?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

In other words, the original work’s theory of Newtypes also contains religious elements, so there is a high affinity.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a trap.

>>62

Isn’t it the Maria Church?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

No one has said that being bright is good, so it’s safe.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do you think the Paong Trio will survive?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I hadn’t had a limited lifespan, there was a possibility that I could have genuinely become a great leader in religion.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I want Callisto to survive.

It’s doubtful whether Lily can survive.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>32

I like those three, so I hope they continue their duo like this.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both allies and enemies are getting worse and worse, aren’t they?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought that once the South Seas chapter started, I would keep charging forward while being completely absorbed in religion all this time…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

To me, both seem obscure…

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

At least let it be called a trio.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really didn’t think it would be so indecisive and dragging on until the end.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unleash the fury of justice, Atlas Gundam!

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Both are dark, right?

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Daryl was getting carried away, so the author put a stop to it.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>41

It’s unfair that Io has to suffer so much…

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Daryl was a good guy before he became a fighting alien…

I wonder if they want a sense that the loss of their limbs wasn’t in vain or that there was some sort of compensation for it.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the Atlas Gundam because it’s cool.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

In war, one is a hero, but in peacetime, they’re a disabled person, so it’s a given that they will find some reason to join the remnants of the army.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

There has never been a route to the Republic, even without mentioning the battlefield.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

But there are also people like Sean who have found their place and are having fun…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Shall I kill until the dormitory… and without even a death scene, just the corpse…”

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t believe Darryl died from that.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>50

Well, I’m alive.

I think they will come to take revenge at the peak of Io’s life from now on.

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

Are you not satisfied with tormenting Io yet?!

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

It’s attacking me while being in such a fused state with my psychoframe that I can’t go back anymore, going “Iooooo!”

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Becoming a vanguard of a new religious movement with lost limbs.

The Gundam pilot who continues to lose close friends, companions, and cadets who look up to him, yet does not break.

Which one do you want to be?

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>54

I don’t like either.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you become a regular hero like this…

I want you to join the Titans and go back to being a damn jerk.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Religion seems to just be used as a disguise, and fundamentally, it looks like they just want to wreak havoc with Newtype abilities.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Goodbye, Darryl Lawrenc. Sleep quietly…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Have you finally survived by sacrificing your sister?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

I thought there might be something at the end, but the Zong Trio somehow survived.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it still around the year 0081?

It’s too hellish compared to the official history…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it a future where Io starts wearing sunglasses and using a pseudonym, and Daryl gets placed under house arrest?

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>63

To be honest, I don’t think Darryl is worth keeping under house arrest.

Without the Psycho Zaku, Darryl is just a disabled soldier without limbs.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>72

For now, I guess I’m a Newtype…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

As a sniper, it’s good, but the lack of another ace class as an MS pilot feels a bit raw.

It’s not much other than that one skill, which makes it even more…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not so much about being a new type, but the psychic and spiritual occult trends of that time have become the framework for new religions, so there’s definitely a connection.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

The person on the left is just seriously working hard.

The one on the right is a terrorist.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought Fisher was definitely alive, but then I was surprised to find myself in a dream filled with Daryl’s dead bodies.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like Billy and Chow Min weren’t in the battlefield, but if they’re alive, I’m a little scared they might let out a final fart.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cutting off my limbs seems stronger, right?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s surprisingly painful for Io to lose her two childhood friends at such an early stage.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it quite a natural consequence that Daryl, who lost his limbs, is now losing his freedom and is tied to “Psycho” and “Gundam”?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too bright to get along with the Monk Device.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like Daryl might end up becoming a mass-produced Daryl device.

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Rather, I’ve awakened as a Newtype with full vitality, so I have value now, right?

I wanted to show something valuable, even just the neck like Callisto.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Lost limbs in the war (not saying lost them in combat).

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

I mean, why are you still alive with just your head, Callisto?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

If you connect to a heart-lung machine, the brain can survive even if the physical heart stops, so it’s not that simple.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really admire how Io managed to recover her mental state from there.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I hate to say it, but when I think about it, this isn’t even technically warfare…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

A religious organization suddenly transformed into terrorists and sank a battleship.

It seemed that they were about to cause great damage to the colony and the moon by manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.

Private companies have managed to get by with their own resources.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too much of a bright character to get along with Callisto.

When you laugh while pointing at a person with a disability, you are a dark extrovert.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it okay for Callisto to feel like it’s connected to the Geong with its whole head?

It’s like a normal human would be dead, but when connected and powered on, it seems that consciousness exists thanks to electric signals and some special liquid.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like corporate terrorism and companies defending themselves with the federal army…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both Io and Daryl have reached a point where it’s okay for them to rest, but I wonder what the Titans will do.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, what does Daryl want to do?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

I want to settle things with Io riding the Psycho Zaku!

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

I want to fight for someone else’s justice.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

I want to ride the Psycho Zaku and play around~~~!!

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>93

Die already~

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

The war junkie just fell into a cult and was dancing while leaking brain juice! Know your place!

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

When viewed in its entirety, the time of the One Year War, when both sides were filled with killing intent, was definitely the most intense… I wonder if we can never go back to those days.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought I could make a compilation of this snobby Io’s crying face…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

I probably want something to replace the lost limbs!

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>98

So if it was the Federation or AE giving that, they would have been there.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Which one is more tragic now?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>101

No matter how you think about it, Daryl.

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Daryl, just die quietly… please don’t humiliate yourself any further…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>102

Will you let me die quietly?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

Daryl will probably become completely unable to move after this, right?

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Then I have to balance it out.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

As mentioned above, Daryl, who is not on the battlefield, is simply a person with disabilities needing care.

Daryl has no value without RPD.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

After this, there will be an inner portrayal of Daryl, right?

Otherwise, it would end up being like, what was that person even if they were supposed to be one half of the protagonist…

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>107

Seeing many people I killed, I committed suicide out of a sense of guilt.

You can understand it from the picture, right?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

Moreover, it can be controlled with brainwaves!

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be scary.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t cults and corporations just like cosmic aristocrats?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

I wonder if there are Hauserlies in this world too.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

That’s scary!

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the end, Daryl was just a disabled person who was excited to receive a big toy.

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>115

That’s expressed in how Io acts excitedly in AE that it’s not changing.

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>116

In the beginning, Io was aware that she just wanted to have fun with MS, right?

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>116

No, it was about how good MS would be provided to soldiers, making it harder for them to die, that Io was excited about in AE…

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

I think if you only interpret it through the dialogue, you might misunderstand because they’re showing an item called a toy airplane.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>127

Was Io excited after riding the Gerbera Tetra?

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>127

Iao appears to be a war junkie, but the depiction shows that his true feelings are different.

Constantly being compared to Daryl.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>134

Different.

There is a side that craves war, but also a feeling of camaraderie that comes naturally as a soldier.

It coexists without contradiction.

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>140

No, I’m saluting Darryl.

If you’re a war junkie, you won’t salute rivals who can no longer fight.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>143

Now that you mention it, that’s true.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>116

Daryl is completely different in that he is just rampaging immaturely without any significant prospects.

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>132

In terms of outlook, I’m seeing much broader and further ahead than Io.

Io is just one pilot after all.

The composition around here is just like Amuro and Char.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>132

Daryl must have seen the view, right!? What the hell are you saying!? Are you really reading the manga!?

117: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>115

Both superficially and deeply important/serious.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

Larayya, you’ve become a bit foul-mouthed, haven’t you?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you chose to ride the Psycho Zaku yourself, then that’s one thing, but if you obtained power in a situation where you have to cut off your remaining hand to ride it, or else both you and your comrades face total annihilation, then this is what happens.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Io is somewhat aware of something, but Darryl…

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like the early art style.

I wonder why I stopped drawing Io’s eyebrows.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

I’ve reached my limit with my hands…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Callisto seems to have even more expressions now…

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m just grateful that the author’s tendonitis has worsened but we can still see the continuation.

It wouldn’t have been strange if it had ended unfinished.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, that prosthetic leg is laughable, isn’t it?

131: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Daryl is a war junkie acting like a saint, but

Io pretends to be a war junkie, but it’s been thoroughly depicted that his true feelings are different. He got excited seeing the new model at AE, but it’s a discussion that if this exists, the war will be over.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Daryl is a victim who, after losing his limbs, had nothing else to cling to and had no choice but to cling to what he could.

I think the mistakes in what I’m doing have gone a little beyond what I can accept…

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are quite a few advocates for Io…

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>137

Well, I do feel sorry for Daryl, but what do you want to do? It’s been a bit much lately.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s clear that Io is just desperately trying to take on the hate as the crazy ace of the Bonbon collapse in order to protect the lives and hearts of those around him…

I can’t protect all the things that are closest and most important to me.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

If I’m called Io’s spokesperson, I don’t feel bad about it, but if I’m called Daryl’s spokesperson, it feels unpleasant because that just means I’m someone who got caught up in a cult and acted out like a disabled person.

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

So the story goes that Daryl is good at talking but at heart he’s just a crazy person who wants to go to war.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>142

Different.

It is true that Daryl is trying to achieve self-actualization by obtaining replacements for his lost limbs.

That being said, I also want to correct the distortion called AE.

This is also a purpose that can coexist without contradiction.
