Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt volume 2 - Yasuo Ohtagaki

 For the next manga of this year, it's time for some good old fashioned mecha battling.



As the duel between the sniper and the ace continues.
 
Battle rages on as both fleets engage each other.  Daryl wakes up from the previous engagement, finding out his left hand is amputated to be replaced with a new prostethic.  But in order to save the forces in the sector, he should give up his other hand as well in order to make use of the newly developed Psycho Zaku.

In the meantime, Io finds his captain drugging herself, as she can no longer take the stress of sending people out to their death's, including a new group of teenage recruit pilots.  While they initially manage to seemingly break through to the Zeon fleet, it soon turns out this was an ambush by the far more experienced Zeon soldiers.

The whole squad of teenagers is wiped out by a single Dom suit of the Zeon forces, even though they managed to take out one of the Zaku's first, giving them false confidence.  But the Gundam reaches the Zeon fleet, taking out the bridge of the carrier.



Daryl in the meantime has gotten into a position to snipe on the Federation fleet however, resulting in him also taking out the Federation carrier, leaving both fleets crippled as a result.  The CO of the Federation ship shoots the captain, saying they must go down with the ship.

But the Zeon carrier is captured by the Federation forces, with daryl having them in his sights, so a duel is about to come between the ace and the sniper in their upgraded machines...

I can`t wait to see how this plays out in the next volume!
