You pretty sum up what i feel already Sumdumgai. Perfectly infact.
... the 21 was the better fighter, Isamu was the better piot, with both pilots possesing freakish skill, but Isamu willing to die for that extra % move to get him ahead.
I chose Guld though, i don't believe he raped Myung, he just lost it, and imo it was his Zentran blood.
Problems aside, he was genuine to the end. Isamu didn't posses this kind of character, not that i fault him for that.
Guld cut loose with that limiter cut, and imo that's one of the if not THE most memoriable moment of all Macross for me.
