Where would you guys rank Io Flemming and Daryl Lorenz among other Gundam pilots.
I think that Io is amazing because of how he deals with multiple targets the fact he does not need heavy augmentation to display that level of control is a testament to his skill and compatibility with his gundam.
Daryl on the other hand(haha see what i did there) has unrivaled devotion to his fight and will literally sacrifice arm and limb to become stronger.
Daryl somewhere is giving me Admech vibes from Warhammer augmenting himself for better synergy with his machine at the cost of his humanity.
I think that the show does an amazing job at conveying that loss of humanity, Gives me goosebumbs thinking of those scenes.
Overal such an amazing good show, so i am very curious as to you guys thoughts :)
Io Fleming is by far my personal favorite pilot, so my view of him is definitely biased. I think skill wise he'd have to be near the top. He was a championship winning racing driver as a kid meaning he has top class reaction time. I don't think Io is a newtype, I haven't read the Manga though so I'm not 100% on that. Assuming he's not a newtype, he'll never n be able to beat people like Amuro or Char.
I like Darryl as an opposition to Io as they're opposites but kind of the same. Skill wise it's kind of hard to tell and depends on level of prosthetics but, best case he's on par with Io. Also probably not a newtype.
Exactly, I like the sacrificing something for more control shtick of some gundam animes
