This week, we review and analyze Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (機動戦士ガンダムΖΖ) episode 20 - “Crybaby Cecilia (Part 1)” (泣き虫セシリア (前)) (sometimes also translated to English as "Tearful Cecilia (Part 1)"), discuss our first impressions, and provide commentary and research on the inspiration for the name Milly Childers (and a tangentially related naval disaster), as well as the history of pizza in Japan.

- Sources on Milly's life and works: Wikipedia, the National Portrait Gallery (UK), and this page on British women painters at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and Exposition.

- A collection of Milly Childers' paintings.

- About Milly's father, Hugh Childers.

- A collection of Hugh Childers' papers, including letters to and about Milly:

The Life and Correspondence of the Right Hon. Hugh C. E. Childers: 1827-1896, edited by Edmund S. E. Childers (Murray 1901).

- About the HMS Captain, and its designer, Cowper Phipps Coles.

- The alternative design, HMS Monarch.

- Contemporary articles about the capsizing of the HMS Captain:

J. Scott Russell, The Loss of the "Captain.", Macmillan's Magazine, Vol. 22 (1870). Available at https://books.google.com/books?id=MrcZAQAAIAAJ&source=gbs_navlinks_s

"Loss of H.M.S. Captain.", Sydney Morning Herald, Sept. 24, 1875. Available at https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/13371391.

- Brief overview of the history of pizza in general and pizza in Japan specifically:

Ceccarini, Rossella. “Pizza in Japan.” Education About Asia, vol. 16:3, 2011, doi: https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/pizza-in-japan/.

- Article with some history, but a focus on Japanese localization of pizza.

- About pizza-making in Tokyo, circa 2019.

- Article about the executive tasked with launching Dominoes in Japan, Earnest Higa, a third generation Japanese-American from Honolulu, Hawaii. He discusses how being bicultural helped him adapt an American pizza-chain to the Japanese market.

- Blurb for a book about Nick Zapetti, and crime in occupation-era Japan.

- Supposed personal account of hanging out at Nicola’s and meeting Nick and Rikidozan in “gangster joints” in Tokyo. I cannot speak to it’s accuracy or veracity, but it’s a fun read, and references Whiting’s book.

Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario.

You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.
