I felt annoyed watching how equally stubborn Nina and Kou were. Nina's stubbornness, in particular, felt like it wasn't worth risking Kou's life to go into battle with his mediocre Gundam skills. On the other hand, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end when Delaz's speech was delivered in the middle of the battle, witnessed by the entire Federation fleet. Zeon's patriotism is truly undeniable.
