Mobile Suit Gundam AGE 14

Flit and allies continue to attack the UE hideout at Ambat.

Time for ace pilot vs ace pilot.

Let's make this a handicap match.

Funnels are no trouble if you can dance like a maniac.

Summary:
After destroying the UE carrier ship, the Diva and allies continue towards Ambat. The plan is break a hole in the UE defenses so the Diva can dock and launch an assault team into the base. Mukred returns to his space station factory and plans on providing repair support for Grodek and allies. Flit and the other mobile suit pilots continue to battle the UE in space, but Flit is then drawn away from the main battle by Decil's telepathic messages. Decil appears in his Zedas and starts battling Flit and the Gundam. The battle is fairly even at the start, but then Decil summons his "special weapon": a pink UE mobile suit with remote gun barrels with Yurin strapped inside. Flit is reluctant to attack because Yurin is inside the suit. Decil only needs Yurin's presence and he can use the X-rounder resonance to control Yurin's mobile suit, and Decil uses this to his full advantage to deal damage to the Gundam. Flit is in deep trouble and Decil flies to finish him off, but Yurin momentarily takes control of her mobile suits and takes the hit for Flit.

Can't say we didn't see this coming.

Goodbye, Yurin. We hardly knew thee.

Yurin is killed in the resulting explosion and Flit is devastated. The feeling soon turns to anger and Flit takes it out on Decil by cutting off the Zeda's limbs and disabling its controls, but Flit doesn't kill Decil outright and lets the Zedas drift off into space. After defeating Decil, Flit returns to the main battle and re-equips with the Titus pack. Flit then takes the Gundam Titus and uses its full power to force open a docking bay door on Ambat, and in the process the Titus pack suffers heavy damage. The Divas flies into the bay and docks, and Grodek leads an assault team into the fortress. Flit returns to Diva to re-equip with the Normal pack, but he is unresponsive to Vargas' calls. After launching again, Flit vows to make the UE pay for what they've done.

That's the least that you deserve.

I'm pretty sure being left to drift in space is losing a fight, Decil.

Flit still needs something to fight next episode, so lets bring this out.

Somewhere in Ambat, Geera Zoi gets into a ancient but powerful mobile armor to get ready for battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Operation "Kill Off Yurin" went off without a hitch. Anyone who is somewhat familiar with the Gundam franchise could see this coming. It's something of a tradition in Gundam to kill off a love interest in battle, and even the supposedly "kid-friendly" Gundam AGE isn't exempt. Everything went off the way you'd expect: Decil brings out Yurin as his secret weapon; Flit gets beaten down, but Yurin sacrifices herself at the last moment to save Flit, and then Flit uses the power of rage to beat Decil down. It's kind of sad that Yurin's main purpose in the series is to die in front of Flit, but that's just how Gundam likes it. We finally saw the use of remote gun barrels/funnels in the series, and chances are we'll get more funnel spam in what remains of the series. I guess Decil's whining at the end of the fight was what prompted Flit to spare his life. Decil is probably done in this part of the series, but chances are he'll be back when Flit's son takes the helm.

Now that Yurin and Decil are out of the way, the battle will likely end next week when Grodek leads the ground assault team into the fortress and Flit takes on the big mobile armor. I'm confused as to is Yark Dole the same person as Geera Zoi (the guy who got into the mobile armor in the end)? I assume the guy with the mask was Yark, but then the guy who got into the mobile armor didn't have the mask. Regardless, Flit will defeat him anyways. The main question remaining is the UE's motivation in attacking Federation colonies, but we probably won't get the complete answer given that this is only the first of three arcs in the series.
