I think something was mentioned about 1st and 2nd generation gundams in one of the previous episodes(the current gundams beeing third generation).
So I guess the gundam from Setsunas past is exia's precursor(the GN drives are probably passed down from gundam to gundam once the previous generation becomes obsolete)

What an episode. These last episodes have really been epic. They even showed Saiji wanting the Gundams to die. Maybe Nena will join will Celestial Being now, since they now have some common ground. I can't believe Aeolia was able to calculate this far. I'm starting to feel a little sad that the season will be over soon, so much is happening.


I suspect Aeolia is not so much in cold storage(as Corner seems to think) but more that he is some sort of Gundam version of Gustaf Brackman(from Supreme Commander), interfaced with Veda that is. But a last resort command shouldn't be much of a suprise though, If you have valuable data that you under no circumstance would see fall into enemy hands a self-destruct or some other last resort command is fairly standard.

If you take a look at the manga, it definitely confirms that the current Gundams we see are 3rd generation and that there were Gundams before them. I just wonder why the world took no notice of them until now.

And the episode was epic. Sad I read spoilers on it so I wasn't as surprised when Exia goes into 'Super Mario' mode or when the Trinitys got axed.

There's one thing bothering me. When the Flag was upgraded, Graham had hard times pushing it because of the forces his body took. What will it do now when he gets a GN Drive on it? Will they modify the cockpit to make it more Gundam-ish or will he push his body so far that it could kill him, just for the sake of taking the Gundams down? Maybe he'll go with normal pace but with increased powers only. That's what's bothering me.

^ I think that might be a non-issue w/ GN Drives, for w/e reason.

And, yes, it appears in the manga that all of the previous Gundams retain their GN Drives (the first chapter had someone launching in a Gundam...).

The Trans-Am is garbage. Like some other people, I was hoping that the Gundams were going to be nerfed for 00, after the ridiculousness of the Strike Freedom. I was also holding out for Nena to be killed and Johann to live... oh well. I hope Nena doesn't end up joining CB, though. I'm also hoping that Lockon gets his eye fixed, but it's prolly not going to happen.

What'll be interesting to see is the actual purpose of the GN Arms. Is it a support system? Is it a ferry? It'll also be interesting to see the thread that ties Corner, Harvey, the Thrones and Ali together. I think the implication of "you were made to be sacrifices" is that they were part of the plan, but who knows?

The script is becoming even weaker than that of Destiny with all the futile over-dramatization and the obvious "coincidences", and the characters develop to be as bad as those of Gundam Wing (Bishonen ftl !).

There are some good things though, the OST by Kenji Kawai, the series has a very good pace and this Gundam looked somewhat promising at the beginning... but it's almost screwed now. Hope that the second season will be more interesting, but I'm starting to doubt it. Maybe Sunrise will get serious for their next Gundam series (Tomino come baaaack !).

But maybe I don't enter in the core target of this series which is more aimed towards girls and teenagers than the real Gundam series. Still for a Gundam fan like me, it's a real disappointment, SEED was MUCH better, even if it was far from the best...


This was Gundam Wing v.2 from the start, but you gotta stop insulting it and saying that POS SEED is anything NEAR as good.

I'm a HUGE Gundam fan, by the way, and I think this series is excellent. I haven't liked one this much since 08th MS. Even Zeta isn't as good. (Kamille was awesome, but EVERYONE in the show seemed to think they had carte blanche to beat the hell out of the kid. Fuckers.)

For people who don't know yet....this is seriously Gundam Wing version 2. If you absolutely hated G Wing, pull out now. I mean, could it have gotten anymore obvious when the girl called the GN-X mobile suits "dolls"? (Like, Mobile Dolls.) And there were painfully obvious hints before then. So while this show is far, far better than Wing was, its still got most of its roots from that series.

Anyway, I loved this episode:

1.) They killed most of the Trinity Family! AWESOME. The way they were running around like they owned the place had gotten real tired, real fast.

2.) Ali-Al Sarshes got OWNED by Setsuna! I REALLY hate that guy. He's been a jerk since they first introduced him, and finally he got the beatdown. I kinda hoped he'd die, but he can't have much longer.

3.) Corner got bitchsmacked by Aeolia. After being a more annoying more bishie version of Treize, he got outmanuvered this ep...by a DEAD GUY. ("I got you from the GRAVE, nigga! You'll NEVER get me back! ROFLMAO)

I don't know who didn't see this coming. The GN-X suits were introduced much, much too soon. Still, this upgrade came sooner than expected too. Guess there are a lot more surprises to go with this series...

Johann and Michael kicked the bucket so soon!
Nena should've died then! oh well, she will before this season ends >=)

And Graham is going back on his words to fight CB using GN drives. Hmmm....

Veda has thought up of everything!
But should have made the place self-destruct instead...
coz that Corner guy is really annoying

Lockon lives but he can't pilot a Gundam.

Meanwhile, Setsuna has finally unlocked becoming a full Gundam !!!

Glowing Red Exia. Mmmm...........

Yup. Don't ask me when it's coming out, though.

I watch currently airing anime on a streaming site rather than downloading everything onto my poor little laptop (I do need to do work on it too xD) and whenever a series gets licensed, they stop uploading new eps... so I usually don't find out for 2-3 weeks after the fact, and then I'm so behind T.T

lol yeah since you can always find a way to see it.
I wouldn't mind it to be licensed anyway since I'd buy the DVD so since i haven't heard any other place report the licensing , this came out as a surprise.

I was waiting for Exia to unleash something special! So all the Gundams will have some mad power now? Ali makes a cool antagonist.

Can't say I'm too upset about the Trinity brothers...Although that was a harsh way to bow out.

In conclusion: Lockon looks awesome with an eyepatch!

Whoa, Ali really did a number on Trinity. After I got over my shock I actually felt a little bad for Michel.

Is he the best pilot of all of them? Better even than Graham Acre? I'd love to see them both go at it. I mean, we already know that with equal technology Ali would kick Setsuna's a$$ in a MS fight.

Loved Exia's Trans-Am mode, Tieria's soft side showing, and the Trinities' deaths (Nena should go join her brothers too).

Glad to see the Gundams leveled up. I was wondering what was going to happen, since defeating so many Gundams with eh GN drive was looking impossible. I even started to feel bad for Trinity Gundam pilots and glad at least one of them survived (even though Nena was the one to senselessly kill all those people at the wedding).

Great episode.

Fixed? Why the term fixed?

Poor, Lockon. He lost his right eye. :/

Oh my, this episode is EPIC!
Best episode for me!

So the four original drives had Trans-Am system which makes them faster and stronger.

Poor Nena, losing her two brothers.

To say Aeolia was well-prepared is an understatement. Just how many backup plans does that guy have? Even in death he is still pulling strings from behind!

The arrival of the mass-produced pseudo GN Drives combined with superior tactics by military forces exposed the weakness of the Trinity faction: they weren't very skilled pilots. Nena survived, but what role could she possibly play now that her faction has been eliminated? What about Saji? Last 3 episodes for season 1...

Leave it to Aeolia to have a trick like that stored away - his death triggers his final hope. I couldn't help but feel for Trinity this episode, but I still wish Nena had died instead of Mihael. I wonder what Saji's role is going to be in all of this, it really seems like they're setting him up to either take on his father/sister's will with journalism or possibly become an avenger at some point.

The Trinity's got what they deserved after their slaughter of innocent civilians.

ONe more powerup for the Gundam's. I wonder what else Aeolia had in store for them.

More mystery added to the plot and characters continue dropping like flies. It's weird how it works; I was rooting for the HRL when they stopped Trinity's intervention and knocked their asses out, now all of a sudden I was thrilled that Setsuna showed up and saved Nina. Nina. The most sadistic bitch in the entire group. How the hell did that even happen?

Yeah... I wish Johann was the one saved instead, though. He was the only one I liked. *sigh*
