Glad that Iok got that come up from Akihiro of all people. That fukk HAD to die.
IBO was legit. Pacing issues in the first season.... i guess... I actually liked the melodrama. Some people wanted nonstop fights, I get that too, but they had a solid build up for everything and damn near EVERY battle was good stuff. Not too many gundam shows can claim that. Especially not some of the newer ones where people just throw lazers back and forth at each other while talking shyt. People died all the time and it gave the series constant tension. Can't belittle that.
The ending was too tuff tho
I really thought they'd let Mika take up the flag and run Tekkadan 2 but that just wasn't in the cards. The final solution was better though. Tekkadan and Fareed's bytchass still put into the motion the events that changed the world for the better. Tekkadan never would've ended child slavery - if anything they would've just reinforced it.

Ride out there being a hitta
Mika going out like the GOAT a$$hole pilot he is "does he know this is pointless?
*gets smashed by javelins from space* WHY WONT HE DIE
"
IBO is in the top 10 gundams at the very least, but Mika/Barbatos is a top 5 MC/gundam pair off pure savagery and the solo mobile armor victory
