This week on MSB it's Victory Gundam episode 18: 宇宙艦隊戦 or Space Fleet Battle.

Why are continuity errors a problem? What new translation decision is driving Thom batty? What do the contrasting characterizations of Jinn Jahannam and Maria Pure Armonia say about the factions they purport to lead? How much power could a solar satellite like the Hiland actually produce? And just what is our secret theory? The answers to almost all of these questions can be found on this week's podcast! Please listen to it!

Show Notes

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.

I can't deny there are continuity issues in V, but is it possible that the distance of nostalgia (or the less maniacal level of scrutiny in earlier seasons) might tempt us to overlook similar glitches in previous series? There are a lot of howlers in, say, Z and ZZ that nobody seems to notice. Just for example: During the Earth arc of ZZ, they kept mixing up the Mindra and Sandra. Which is kind of an issue if we're meant to assume that Ple-Two is being stored in a cold sleep room aboard whichever one Glemy is commanding this week. There are a lot of things like that if you look really closely.

Oh, and as far as the guillotine symbolism: I assume at some point there'll be a research piece on this (and its connection to Madame Tussaud's wax museum), but one thing I was surprised to learn is that it was also used extensively by the Nazis. It seems like it was mostly used to execute political prisoners, as opposed to the industrial-scale extermination the Third Reich is better known for. As a weapon of single-serving destruction, like a Keurig coffee maker of murder, I guess it's a device you use when you want to make a public example of somebody.

when you were talking about Junko's involvement in the battle i recalled a line spoken by the stowaway kids where Suzy says she saw Oliver's Gundam, but then Shahkti says "how are you sure it's Oliver's? It could have been Junko, there are multiple Victory types out there." Which seems like a strange line considering Oliver's is the only other Victory Gundam we see outside of Uso's. though it's possible this was a translation error on the part of the subtitler

another issue i had about the episode was how the mixup of the stolen Zoloat was portrayed. At the start of the episode they show the repainting work along with talk about how they swapped out its IFF transponder with Leage numbers. The amount of attention they drew to it no longer being a BESPA sided MS. I feel that the confusion over the allegiance of Marbet's Zoloat should have been portrayed as second guessing it being an enemy rather than flat out mistaking it as an ally on the part of BESPA
