Today marks a glorious day in Azadistani history. The Federation after years of investigation has finally put Mariana Ismail under arrest. For over four years her misrule of Azadistan had reduced a once well off population into an army of starving beggars who live under constant terrorism. This is change we can believe in. Kataron says that we are being unjust in arresting her for graft, but all I have to say is… YES WE CAN. - Federation President 00bama.
You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, and Lasse Lies, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better. I repeat then that, by the original compact of government, the Federation had certain rights in Azadistan, which have never been relinquished and never will be; that the Kataron began the war by seizing forts, arsenals, mints, custom-houses, etc., etc., long before Mr. 00bama was elected, and before Kataron had one jot or title of provocation. I myself have seen in Egypt, Azadistan, Lebanon, and Jordan, hundreds and thousands of women and children fleeing from Kataron’s armies and desperadoes, hungry and with bleeding feet. In Beirut, Alexandria, and Jerusalem, we fed thousands and thousands of the families of Kataron soldiers left on our hands, and whom we could not see starve. Now that war comes to Kataron, they feel very different. They deprecate its horrors, but did not feel them when they sent truck-loads of soldiers and ammunition, and Realdos, Hellions, Tierens, Enacts, and Flags, to carry war into Turkey and Israel, to desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people who only asked to live in peace at their old homes, and under the Federation of their inheritance. But these comparisons are idle. I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success. – Sergei “Wild Bear” Smirnov
I see my Leutnant has really grown up. She looks much more womanly now.
Not to be a bother, but where Patrick I thought he’d be here by now…you know where Katie leads Patrick follows.
Mein Oberst still looks lovely even after four years, unlike her counter part she has made much wiser decisions about her post war lifestyle.
Four years since their last act of terrorism the miscreants of CB have gathered once more to kill more people in the name of Aeolia’s dream (or rather everyone’s nightmare). The millions they killed then were not enough to realize their ambitions and they have rejected the Federation due to the landslide election of 00bama because no one wanted to elect the untried Wang Liu Ming who was caught stuffing ballot boxes and whose racism was made plain after their first debate when she called 00bama, and I quote, “That Nigger.” Unwilling to wait for the next election like good citizens the CB terrorists instead build new armaments to wage war and manufacture lies of every sort in order to ease their guilt and shame. Jihad-kun strikes an unholy bargain with the rats of Kataron in order to depose the rightfully elected President 00bama and place himself as the Gundam Emperor of Mankind.
I miss her hat…rather I still think she belongs in that lovely AEU uniform.
Mein Oberst Katie will now be mom to Soma, may she upgrade Soma like she upgraded Patrick. Oh as for Andrei, we shall test his mettle as son of Wild Bear first…
I take it Sergei has not talked much about his son…
However the Federation has not been idle since their founding, and Federation Army has sent mein Oberst Katie and Soma to keep and eye on Bushido Bob and Darth Louise. Katie suspects that the A-Laws are keeping too many secrets and with the help of Soma she hopes to verify some rumors about the elite A-Laws. While Katie and Soma were in the mess hall they tried to be cordial with Bushido Bob because he had gotten a little unhinged in the past four years. Katie had hoped to get Bushido Bob a customized FLAG instead but it seems that Bob had declined and then proceeded to write a haiku about Gundam. Soma just felt that Graham Acre was truely dead from his heart break over the loss of his FLAG and was now some cosplaying hentai that drank cheap instant coffee and kept staring at her lewdly without so much as a hello. Both felt that Graham needed a new FLAG. When asked about his mask no one seemed to know why he wore it… he wasn’t mutilated or anything he just seemed to like the mask. Apparently it was one of the seven mysteries of the A-Laws, why Bushido Bob had a mask, the reason behind the strange Ahead, why Prince Ali was still driving a cab, why Louise was there, why no one called Wild Bear, where Captain KFC gets his rations, and where is the AEU Ace Patrick. Andrei remains an unknown factor despite being the son of Wild Bear. Kujo, aka Sumeragi, has been spending the last four years drinking and of those two years shagging Billy at the same time. Setsuna destroys her hideout by blabbing out to Billy that they are with CB, clearly information security under a Jihad-kun regime would be notably lax if non-existent. Grabbing the drunken ‘tactician’ of CB Setsuna leaves Billy behind to clean up the mess and the bill for four years worth of hard liquor. Jihad-kun called it an intervention and thus declared that he would no have to pay for any damage done during his visit. Such policies are the hall mark of CB who wrought untold devastation upon the world and never once paid the bill, they even tried to file damages to their equipment as a write off and charitable donation in their last tax return, which was 210 years ago.
Homer disowned Billy for being a loser…isn’t that right Bushido Bob?
Pfft…Lassie learn to lie better, that’s under 20 and it was more like 50 dead and it was one incident, which was a prison riot. Still even if it were 14 nothing beats the crime you are commiting right now by given Saji a padded room, a Haro, and loli room service…
That was always her problem thinking with her breasts and not her head…looks like they got downgraded too.
The drunken bitch Sumeragi not only has been shagging Billy Goat for the past 2 years, but in the years following her last defeat at the hands of Wild Bear and Katie, Sumeragi has not exhausted her stream of lies. She claims that little has changed when in fact many things have changed for the better. Under the Federation the three old power blocs united and now solve their problems through diplomacy rather than with saber rattling, the Middle East was under going a flowering of change with Mariana Ismail being tossed into jail for mismanaging Azadistan, keeping it’s people dependent on Federation Aid which she stole to build more palaces and pay for her satellite TV, and allowing the country to be a hot bed for terrorism while she sat in front of the TV instead of handling affairs of state. The quality of alcohol has improved, but because Sumeragi is so used to drinking booze that did not pass quality check she never knew how awesome a real bottle of Jack was.
WTF? Unemplyed losers should not be allowed to drink, Billy you have been spoling the bitch…
What Sumeragi is a dude?!
Jihad-kun the negotiator, suffice to say Roger Smith has seen much more employment…
While der Fuhrer Klaus claims that the Federation has been monopolizing energy, the prices have remained fair and stable, but Klaus longs for he days of oil and charging over 9000 Euros per liter and misses his days as oil mogul where he lit Cuban cigars with 500 Euro notes while he sat on his golden toilets with his BFFL Alejandro Corner. Kataron wants a free ride and wish to reap the benefits of the solar elevators without paying the taxes to maintain them. Instead they have opted to steal Realdos, Flags, Tierens, Hellions, and Enacts to try and seize the elevators for themselves. Not limiting themselves to grand theft of mobile suits, they have also created terror cells within the Federation in order to better harass Federation citizens. Fortunately Federation authorities have been cracking down with ruthless efficiency against this fifth column. Member states have joined the Federation to share the burden of cost for maintaining the elevators and guarantee their access to affordable energy, but the rogues of Kataron wish to pollute the Earth with their oil based economy and restore OPEC under Klaus and his squeeze Shirin. Clearly Klaus believes Global Warming to be a myth and that fossil fuels are the wave of the future. Everytime i hear der Furher Klaus talk of oppression I am reminded of the words of Federation President 00bama, “I am 00bama, and I’m here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says Klaus, ‘It belongs to the lazy.’ ‘No!’ says Setsuna, ‘It belongs to Gundam.’ ‘No!’ says Mariana, ‘It belongs to me.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose…the Federation, a world where the doujin artist would not fear the censor, where the otaku would not be bound by petty finances, where the grunts would not be constrained by emo wangsty young aces! And with the sweat of your brow, the Federation can become your world, as well.” It is easy to see why so many have joined the Federation and stayed out of the Middle East quagmire. Still I hope Captian Planet kicks Klaus’ loot’n and pollut’n ass.
Oh finally a FLAG, still I prefer them black and piloted by guys name Acre…
Well they did build it…and it’s not like you paid for it…How cruel of them not to give lazy people hand outs, how cruel of them to earn enough money to keep the system in a decent state of repair?
Oh fucking build one yourself or invest in wind power, the Federation does not give hand outs to those who refuse to work and earn a living. Get a job Klaus…
The crimes of Kataron and CB are not limited to tax evasion, terrorism, public drunkenness, child labor, vandalism, murder, and theft; they have also committed one of the greatest crimes of the century in keeping Saji alive. Not only is his so called “cell” more like a padded hotel suite, he also get loli-room service and free Haro internet. Saji lives like a king while the poor oppressed denizens outside of the Federation in places such as the hell hole of Azadistan starve and die of exposure. The hateful Wang Liu Ming has also been trying to play Ribbons for a sucker but she severely underestimates Ribbons if she is relying on Nena for her muscle. Soon Prince Ali will be brought into the employ of the Federation and my lord Prince Ali will finish the job he started four years ago by killing Nena and sending her off to meet with her brothers, IN HELL. Despite Ms. Wang’s illusions of being an agent of chaos her name is already on Prince Ali’s raep and shank list after calling for his cab as a prank. Very soon shall Prince Ali make his triumphant return to kill Lasse to the point that he cannot be brought back and he will kill this new Lockon because my good Prince has declared that Feldt will be his warprice.
Indeed how dare the Federation stop the killing in Darfur! How dare they give Somalia a stable government! This Federation is so “morally bankrupt”…for the record Klaus supports the Janjaweed Militia.
CB is run by a clique of rich bastards who answer to no one. This is just one of the many mansions owned by Ms. Wang, under CB the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, just look at what they did to Azdaistan…
I still think Ribbons and Renge will fuck this bitch up…any one who keeps Nena around is obviously stupid.
The A-Laws attack CB and Ginin proves that Tieria is still a loser as Ginin’s inferior Ahead was able to go toe to toe with Tieria’s fat ass beam spammer Gundam. Sadly many GN-XIIIs and one Ahead were lost to Sumeragi’s hax (or what they call randomly firing off their superior weapons, and calling it tactics) and that infernal TRANS-AM BS. Thankfully despite the loss of many fine pilots, it was not a total massacre as Ginin survived and the A-Laws proved themselves to be no pushovers. Had there been no TRANS-AM Jihad-kun would have died and Ginin would have wasted Tieria. After the battle CB celebrated how they had better technology to make up for their suckage and Lockon Mk II was introduced. While Feldt was ready to jump all over Lyle, Tieria is holding out, but in then end he too will be added to Lyle’s tally. Their next mission appears to be breaking that rapist Hannibal Haptism from jail along with that Poverty Princess. Nevertheless the A-Laws and Federation Army will not allow CB to do as they please without a fight, already Soma and Darth Louise have been sent to bolster the guards, it is hoped that Soma leaves Haptim’s heart broken and unable to function.
Guess what Ms. Wang Ribbons sees all, and he has the A-Laws to your Nena.
It came to me. My own, my love, my own, my… preccciouss…
There is one other who knew that Louise had the Ring. I looked everywhere for the creature Saji, but the enemy found him first. I don’t know how long they ‘tortured’ him, but amidst the endless screams and insane babble, they discerned two words. SPAIN! LOUISE! Three Rings for the HRL-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Euro-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Union Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Moon of Luna where the shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
On the Moon of Luna where the shadows lie. - Captian Ginin
Impression:
Well I still think Kataron is up to no good with their rather poor excuse that the Federation is monopolizing energy and using its control to keep member states and shut out non-members. Hell the founding governments of the Federation paid for the construction of the solar elevators, they are not obligated to give Azadistan and the old OPEC nations a free ride after they were gouged for oil in the past. If they want some of that solar energy they could still just join the Federation and help foot the bill to keep those elevators working, but no they go on and use terrorism to secure their energy supply instead of paying for it like every one else. They are free, they just chose to starve, nevertheless they need only stop bugging and bombing the Federation about giving them a hand outs, and stop inserting terror cells within Federation territory if peace is what they really want. The way I see it Kataron is made up of douche bags who don’t want to pay taxes but still want access to social security and public health. Freedom doesn’t mean you get free shit, but that’s the angle I am getting from Klaus. It’s kind of hard to swallow the allegations of Federation dictatorship when 00bama is elected and there is a standing council made up of member states. If government by Mariana Ismail is what Kataron wants then I have to say only an idiot would want to be ruled under such an ineffective leader such as that. All Princess Poverty seems to do is waste Azaditsani tax payer money on trips around the globe for a few bags of food and sit in front of the TV instead of filling out paper work or otherwise trying to find a solution to her country’s problems. It doesn’t matter if she is a nice lady, she sucks at ruling a nation and four years on under the Federation she is finally deposed. That is not a bad thing my view it’s an improvement since Princess Poverty could not improve the standard of living four years later, heck in another four years the only building that would have stood would have been her palaces.
Go Ginin! You’ll be this series’ Machida yet!
Don’t worry Louise once you are under Katie’s command she will make a woman out of you…
Sadly none of the CB bridge crew were killed…
We still have to go on their word that the Federation is being dictatorial when all they have done so far, that we have seen, is kill Kataron members and arrest Mariana Ismail. Going after Saji isn’t what I would classify as a high crime against humanity, besides Saji was hanging out and getting chummy with a known Kataron insurgent and Saji was accepting their aid and going off with Setsuna. Until I see this so called “pressure” on outside states even if Lasse starts declaring that millions have died since the A-Laws were created it can easily be dismissed and more CB lies. Right now the A-Laws haven’t gassed a whole colony and seem to have a more surgical streak to them rather than a propensity for random massacre. I wish the Sunrise team would show me how bad these A-Laws are instead of just telling me through their opponents. Right now the only thing we can be certain of is that the A-Laws keep secrets, arrest incompetent dictators like Poverty Princess, are gunning after Saji, and are keen on stopping CB and Kataron. Wiping out a prison riot that was under way isn’t exactly like shooting non-combatants given that these Kataron terrorists were trying to escape. Also I still hate this A-Laws name, they should just make it Arrows instead. It would not surprise me if Kataron and the A-Laws are merely different dies to the same coin though sine Lyle seems to be the smug spy type.
It’s crude…
…but effective.
If only…at least these A-Laws have courage.
I am a bit disappointed that they had to use Trans-Am hax to save CB instead of making it more tooth and nail. Certainly Ginin should have been able to hand Tieria his ass or have one lone GN-XIII point something at the bridge instead of having the guy sit idly there to enjoy the Gundam 00 light show. Still at least the A-Laws did not get steamrolled since that beam dispersion grenade was neat trick even if Gundam 00 can cut through everything. Ginin is still alive and hopefully he will be the Machida of this series. I am glad he left Louise behind after her last screw up. I still can’t wait to see Katie and Soma swing into action, but I grow impatient with regards to their holding back of Prince Ali. I am sure Patrick will show up sooner or later given how he follows his Katie every where she goes. No doubt much fun wil be had when he tries to get another Katie Kiss for his good behavior. While we have seen Graham as Bushido Bob I hope they plan on using him better this time instead of making him late again. Having Ginin lead the grunt war against CB is well and fine, but I still want to see the Feddie Aces Bushido Bob, Prince Ali, Soma, Wild Bear, and Patrick take on CB sooner rather than later. These guys need no introduction and certainly by now, since CB has been confirmed to be active that Bushido Bob and Prince Ali ought to be at the tip of the spear. Overall it was still a good episode since the Federation has proven itself to be rather likeable given how they finally put Mariana into a jail cell (if they were evil they would have simply shot her), while CB gets to prove that they are rather evil in giving Saji a hotel suite instead of a cold dank cell where he belongs.
Stupid TRANS-AM…
I am the bone of my gun.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand AKs.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, “Unlimited Gun Works.”
Soma’s got a gun…
Calawain’s Fanboyisms
I can’t believe they didn’t ask the Bear to come fight for A-Laws, he’s got plenty of anti-CB experience. His son is a bit of a dick though, and by the OP imagery I would find it extremely hilarious if he’s hooking up with crazy Louise by the end of this thing. I think the space loli is reserved for pedobear.
Sumeragi has turned into such a drunk whore that not even Billygoat wants to deal with her. How far she has fallen, from being the de facto commander of CB to being not even good enough for Billygoat. Disgusting, and I’m not talking about her saggy rack. And for a supposedly secure and secret group, CB sure has lax security, as Setsuna revealed himself and Sumeragi as top CB members to an A-Laws commander. At least, I assume that’s the “Commander Katagiri” other characters have been referring to. I could be mistaken though, maybe it’s his daddy.
And thus the way is paved for Saji to pilot his own Gundam! And maybe he will kill Louise and not realize it was her until after so he can emo away some more! I would like to see him find out that Nena was the one who did that to Louise and then have a nice chat with her.
So the new Lockon is working as a pseudo-spy for Marina’s ex-maid and her boytoy. Although, the goals of both groups coincide for now so I don’t foresee much in the way of conflict between them for now at least.
She may be older now, but she’s no less crazy…and still hot.
I find the whole head on the back of the mobile suit thing to be a bit creepy.
The new mobile suit is pretty neat overall, Setsuna is an entertaining pilot to watch at least. From a practical standpoint though, having your engines out on the edge of your shoulders like that is probably a bad idea. Having them out on the edge makes them vulnerable to being sliced off, and mecha shows generally enjoy showing pieces of machines hacked off like that. Having the engines centralized behind the pilot at least ensured that if the drive went so did the pilot. But this is Gundam, and the laws of physics and military design don’t really apply.
Poor Billygoat got his poontang taken away.
I was wondering if Marina would do anything this season, and it didn’t take long for them to bring her back. I wonder if she’s holed up in the same prison that Allelujah is so they can both be rescued next week.
Good stuff overall this week, still in the re-introduction/gather your party stage though so I’m not totally satisfied. Looking forward to getting back into the meat of things when they start their fight against A-Laws and a pissed-off looking Ribbons.

I laugh every time the 2nd head on Seravee pop-up. It’s pretty cool but makes me think of the weirdest things ever.
Jayers added these pithy words on Oct 12 08 at 10:09 pmI’ll look forward to next week. I wonder if CB will make an interesting entrance and say “Hello, guys.” before popping the beam weapons.
And yeah, wonder if the A-LAWs soldiers knocked out the guy by the hallway with CQC? Big Boss much? XP
Ominae added these pithy words on Oct 12 08 at 10:25 pmWow LoL this was funny as hell. If your posts about gundam are going to be like this in the future I’ll have to vist every week hahaha, support 00bama, YES WE CAN!

Holy shit, there was another kindred soul in this morass of pseudo-morality known as the internet….
skoll added these pithy words on Oct 12 08 at 11:29 pmAbout engines on the shoulders, it’s a rule of cool thing. I’ve always thought that Gundam is more super than real as mecha anime, despite supposedly starting the genre.
I find Macross mecha to behave more consistently with supposed attributes of real robot shows.
That said, I enjoy Gundam 00 a lot.
Hey Crusader, reading your coverage of Macross Frontier inspired me to finally put up my own blog (We Remember Love). I don’t mind not having a lot of readers, but I’d appreciate it if you’d drop by every once in a while.
ghostlightning added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 1:33 amnice review, though i personally find calawains take on it more balanced and objective than crusaders,
“I find Macross mecha to behave more consistently with supposed attributes of real robot shows.”
with the exception of having their powerplants in their legs…in which if one were to get hacked off half their available power would go with it, other than that i’m in agreement
random hero added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 2:16 amahhha marina remanded me of that chick from gundam wing, ohoho yeah relina pieceofcrap, what the hell has she done for her country in the last 4 years, if her country had a real goverment she would have being stoned or detrone years a go, i should get used to it by now every gundam series seems to lack womens with real drive,charisma and cojones from the series as of now o yeah lockon’s clone has arrive now may the deux(sunrise)machina begin!!! quite looking foward to it >:3.
lucky_huh? added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 3:22 amso now saji= the new suzaku?
yoyomq added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 3:36 amIm totally rooting for the A-Laws and dreading the typical “massacare” that will eventually try hard to make them look evil. Heavens forbid their just men trying to protect their homes from gun totting rebels.
Also, hurry Graham and kill one of them!
Ratwedge added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 3:53 amWell, Sergei seems less of a pedobear now that Soma is back in the military. Still…
Myssa Rei added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 4:06 amSomebody needs to have Sumeragi killed…enough said.
raile added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 6:16 amit seems all the orgs this season have put vipers near their hearts.
Wang has the unstable Nena (she’ll go bat shit the first time she sees Ali)
CB has Lyle (he’s totality going to jack a gundam + pivotal information and give it to Kataron but will later say, “wait that probably wasn’t a good idea, emo a bit, and then rejoin CB to fix his mistake but not really cause you can’t fix problems by breaking more stuff)
Ribbons\A-laws have Louise (serious we all know she’s a cyborg that Ribbons uses as his “eyes”. Please, Ribbons was probably watching Macross Frontier and wished he had an ounce of the evil that Grace O’Connor possessed so he made his own cyborg puppet complete with “slave” mode)
Oh Saji does have a super power this season, all thanks to CB, it’s his proximity to Setsuna. What Aeolia Schenberg did not project in this drug induced haze of fortune telling is the power of the Twin Emos. Much like the Twin Drives, when synchronized, The Emos will have their emotional black hole effect squared rather than doubled. Since both on their own have an emo factor of 100, the Twin Emo effect will drive it to 10,000… ok say it with me “IT’S OVER 9000!”
Oh they didn’t ask Sergei to join A-laws because he’d own everyone with his strategy to take down the gundams day 1. It would go something like this, “well the gundams main advantage is their mobility, make them fight in an enclosed area to limit their advantage. Since we know about Trans AM know we will attack in multiple waves as we have done in the past (seriously, did you not read my tactician’s manual, memoirs from the war, or attend my history lectures?). Since their numbers are limited, we will again commit a divide and conquer strategy (again seriously, did you not read at least Colonel Mannequin’s strategy manual, biography, or attend her strategy workshops?)”
Consequently, he would fire all of the A-Law’s command staff (he can do that since he’s probably a close friend of President 00Bama), promote Katie to his 2nd, and would have successful plans to totally smash CB’s and Kataron’s ability to project any sort of military strength within a week. He would then leave the mopping up of the remains terrorist cells to the various intelligence agencies, anti terror groups, and homeland security so that they make sure these groups don’t come to power again, so he can enjoy his retirement and publish several more books.
Square added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 7:15 amThis episode was awesome.
Considering the title of the show is Gundam 00, I don’t think anyone’s beating Setsuna this season. Unless the 00 somehow undergoes an upgrade or two, it’s safe to say everyone’s getting their asses kicked this season: A-Laws, Masked Graham, Ali Al-Sarshes, Louise, Nena Trinity, Wang Liu Mei.
The Revolution will be begin as soon as the A-Team is assembled. Only bipolar Allelujah is left to complete Team Awesome. I can’t wait to see the new Gundams for Lockon and Allelujah in action.
Saji seems like he might become part of the support staff under Sumeragi. Hopefully this experience will help him to grow some balls instead of crying in the fetal position about “but..but… you’re killing people”. STFU Saji if it wasn’t for Setsuna you’d still be a POW, McCaining it up in 10x gravity work camps until you collapsed.
Halcyon added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 8:21 amDespite what everyone says about Sumeragi, you cannot deny that she is a tactical genius. Since the Aheads can now counter the GN drive’s stealth, Sumeragi gave them that advantage back by scattering GN particles everywhere so the AHEADS got a nice big contact to white out their radar and had to rely on visual range combat once again… She knew that the nature of Gundam Virtue’s weapons wouldn’t be affected since he doesn’t even need to aim but just shoot his Twin Buster Rifle randomly and pwn everyone. And as you saw, 00 is like the Guren…YOU DON’T GET CLOSE TO IT. EVER! That grunt didnt realize canceling out beam weapons was the biggest mistake he could make against Setsuna…. SO WELCOME BACK SUMERAGI!
Jedikid129 added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 9:22 amOh Crusader, you and your angry rants. 
By the way, 00 was not using Trans-Am during the fight. The Trans-Am was simply to reach synchro. After that, the Twin Drive spits out so many particles, that it doesn’t need Trans-Am. Delicious 00 is delicious. Thought the anti-beam grenade was win though. Seeing Seravee’s slow ass get kicked around some was fun too. I may not be a firm supporter of the A-Laws like you, but I certainly don’t want them to get steam rolled, for the sake of dynamic battles. If faceless grunts are putting up a fight, I can’t wait to see what Bushido Bob and Ali will do.
Amuro1X added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 10:25 amI am liking the way the series is shaping up hopefully they won’t mess it up…hopefully
-I actually like the new CB uniforms much better than the old ones
-Allelujah will be freed next ep yay!
-Sumeragi is more drunken than ever lulz
-Saji gets a good treatment in his little “jail” but you haven’t seen the terrorist being held in Guantanamo Bay now those guys have it made if that’s the punishment for terrorism I might as well start my own celestial being, have a few laughs and when I get caught have it made for the rest of my life.
-I had a closer look at the intro and Graham’s helmet also has horns WTF???
-Prince Ali’s gundam looks cool probably more overpowered than anything not because of the technology but because of it’s pilot PRINCE ALI
-ALL HAIL PRINCE ALI WHY HASN’T HE APPEARED YET?
-BillyGoat will be Celestial Being’s doom he will take revenge for the little kid who took his woman
-Azadistan will finally find peace and
-2 GN drives are better than one……. WHO COULD’VE POSSIBLY THOUGHT THAT POSSIBLE (SARCASM)
-I still support what I said last episode no matter how you look at it Sunrise has no balls They kill lockon but replace him with a twin brother????? ok either:
A. they wanted to “prove” they could kill a main character but replaced him with someone who looks exactly the same as to not anger the fans but please the fans who want main characters dead. smooth move sunrise smooth move
B. they’re to lazy to design a new character so they recycle old artwork…. lazy move sunrise lazy move
C. They brought character revival to the next level replacing with twin brothers who are exactly the same and even have similar names…. what assholes sunrise what assholes
D. They like to mess with the viewers…. again assholes
Damit my fanboyism tells me that this is a good thing but my logic tells me otherwise aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I have to stop taking sunrise shows seriously there really is no point.
-Shenberg is God he predicted 400 years of human history even though to a point human kind is sort of predictable.
-I have the feeling wang liu mei is going to EPIC FAIL trying to mess up Ribbons plans or CB
-I agree with you anyone who keeps Neena around is an idiot, a five year old could do her job…. wait she is a five year old
-Saji will go on a psychotic fit of rage and kill Louise and Neena.
Why Marina is always watching TV and sitting on sofa?
How she can bet the ruller of the Azadistan?
I am The Soul of My Gundam
GN Drive is my body and Particles is my blood
I have created over a thousand Beams
Unknown to death,
Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to created many weapons
yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as i pray “Unlimited GN-Blade works”
Finally GN 00 ready for action I loved it
Actually the design was great but The silly thing that stuck in my mind is the double twin GN drives in the shoulders.
The absurd thing since gundam 00 show has been started is :
the technology in anno domini era surpassed technology of Cosmic era with the proof is Irrational Super Versatile GN Particles
Coz with GN particles now everybody can use it for Hijacking communication devices, use it for propulsive Power, Defense power and Compressing GN Particle as a Beam laser to attack enemy
MSG 00 technology ends up ignored the reality and the law of physics itself
Survival from hit chance with unit that used GN Particles is 30% Safer than unit used phase shift armor
If Fossils Power has been depleted why C.E still uses fuel and Nuclear energy beside solar technology why,why,why…?????
Seriously GN particles looks like magic light and the wizard is aeolia schenberg
In season 1 we know celestial being Declared itself a Paramilitary organization But for me the name sounded like a religious/missionary organization than paramilitary Tee-hee….
Now in season 2 we have A-LAWS or (ALols) also KATARON (Organizations with Weirdo Names)
Oh Sunrise why sunrise???
Why u put blonde masked man in every gundam shows…??
Why u put unhealthy blonde crazy girl with deep and dark traumatic past as a pilot again..?? my bad feeling this trend will continue in the next gundam series, i hope not.
Now U changed Bring the dead back to life stereotype with Bring the twin back (I didn’t blame it though since original lockon stated that he had a twin brother in season 1) Now lockon back to Ptolemaios and Grace panties sort of wet after 4 years alone
At last MSG 00 always Full of Twins yeah Twin Lockon, Twin Drive and Twin Tieria with different Gender.

I bet its for turning into a big super Gundam when all four combine…

Indeed if it had been Wild Bear CB would have been defeated on day one because Sumeragi is no match for Wild Bear. If Prince Ali has resp[ect for the man you know he’s good. Just imagine what Sergei could do with those Aheads and GN-XIIIs.
@Halcyon
Get of Jihad-kun’s nuts comrade, we all know Prince Ali is the best damn pilot in the series (he was raping Exia with an Enact), Setsuna has spent the last 4 years in hiding while Ali has spent those same 4 years killing more people in creative new ways as a taxi driver. I look forward to seeing my Liege Lord maintain his six kill lead over all the meisters as he culls this cast in the name of his God. In fact Ali will do his utmost to widen the gap.
CB =/= A-Team that’s just silly…

I bet Saji is going to drag CB down and never grow a pair.
@Jedikid129
The drunk bitch spent four years downing booze and shagging Billy not reading technical manuals, no way she could have known the abilities of the Gundams in the span of less than a day. She used hax and the A-Laws were surprised by this new Gundam 00 once Sergei and Katie take command from Captain KFC things will be very different. Ginin got out alive with one other guy, so much for pwning every one, hell Captain KFC is still alive. Fact Captain Fat Ass still lives proves your vaunted Sumeragi sucks. 
@Amuro1X
Ewww… Gundam 00 is OP all the time… I hope that the Ahead doesn’t become irrelevant because of that, so far the Aheads and GN-XIIIs in groups can match the uncoordinated Gundams, and if Bushido Bob has to take an Ahead for a while then it would suck if Jihad-kun wins every time because of his Gundam 00. I hope Prince Ali shows how much of a novice these Meisters are and kills a bunch of them off in the name of Kurdistan. Bushido Bob better not embarrass himself on his first outing, otherwise leaving the FLAG would have been meaningless.
@CJ
Sunrise has no balls but the can earn them back by haveing Prince Ali kill the last of hte Dylandy Family and wipe their seed from the population for all time.
Also Saji will kill no one, rather Lousie will kill him and Nena after Prince Ali, Katie, and Bushido Bob make a woman out of her.
@lilu
She is and she sucks at it, hence why she was arrested by the Federation.
@Setsuna-kun
Sunrise thinks that they can surprise us by revealing who Bushido Bob really is…
@Crusader
While I appreciate your zeal, your allegiance is misplaced. No current mecha has the ability to match the TWIN DRIVE of the 00 Gundam. On top of that, it can even use the Trans Am system and this is BEFORE any upgrades are made to it. Regardless of piloting ability 2 drives > 1 drive. Not even the FINAL BOSS Ribbons knows the full extent of the 00 and he’s shitting bricks over it.
I predict Setsuna will destroy any and all establishment characters, thus prompting them to upgrade their mechas to fight evenly with the 00, thus prompting the CB staff to implement the “new drive” plan that Aeolia Schoenenberg left behind for CB. With the new upgrade, 00 and LALLALALALALALLAALJIHAAAAAAAAAD will destroy everyone, including final boss pilot Masked Graham.
It’s inevitable. Good guys always win in franchise anime, bad guys always lose. The federation has already been established as the “bad guys” through their fascist suppression of any dissidents. Jihad-kun will fulfill his lead character/messianic role in bringing a new world order.
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!
Halcyon added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 5:07 pmOf course the lousy CB bastards will win Sunrise lacks the swagger and the balls to let the professionals beat out the their emo kids, they are but slaves for the teenage crowds whose passion for Yaoi brought Lasse and Lockon back.
I just want the A-Laws to make them pay a heavy price for their vaunted revolution (Lord Tomino demands that many of CB’s lackey’s die to prove that Gundam is SRS Business, and there is no one alive who can argue against his HIGHNESS Tomino). As for the Federation being evil pffft… Sergei and 00bama evil? Please get your head out of the Communist Manifesto and Jihad-kun’s ass, comrade. Just because they are not in the business of giving lazy people like your Fuhrer Klaus and that incompetent Princess Poverty of yours a hand out does not make them evil. You throw around the word fascist so often it loses meaning…
My allegiance is not as misplaced as yours with your support for terrorism, drunken harlot, Poverty Princess, Saji, and Jihad-kuns, with your cop out Lockon, fifth rate trap, wedding killer Nena, and some lazy Fuhrer. Oh and just to reiterate SAJI you are supporting SAJI. Frankly comrade your support for CB and by extension Saji makes me sick.
No comrade I think my support for grunts like Ginin, Pill Popper Louise, Katie, Patrick, Bushido Bob, Wild Bear, Soma, 00bama, and Prince Ali makes this Federation a good and just one. If you beg to differ against clean energy then go back to Azadistan where you belong and reap the benefits of the government that you support so whole heartedly. The Federation has done much to advance humanity, clean energy, the end of the Darfur situation, and the restoration of order in war torn Somalia. What has your CB done other than kill and reduce the people of Azadistan to abject poverty? Sorry comrade despite the Lasse Propaganda I think that the Federation is not so evil as you make it out to be. I suspect your opposition to 00bama has less to do with his policies than it has to do with his color…
Four more years for 00bama. YES WE CAN comrade YES WE CAN.
I still look forward to Setsuna/Marina, despite having little interaction.
In this civil war, I’m on the side of Celestial Being.
PS - I’m a secret ninja agent for CB. XP
Ominae added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 7:15 pmCrusader, the only CB staff that die are usually the 2nd string characters that aren’t needed anyway (yes that includes Lockon because they had a spare Lockon already lined up)
A-Laws are basically untested punks that haven’t had to deal with a real challenge since the Gundam Meisters left the stage 4 years ago. Now that the Gundams are back, expect this seasons A-Laws to look exactly the same as last season’s HRL.
The Federation is evil because the protagonists of the show are the Gundams. Seriously, when have you ever seen a Gundam lose at the end of the series? We all know the Gundams will win in the end. For once, join the winning side!
My allegiance is not as misplaced as yours with your support for terrorism, drunken harlot, Poverty Princess, Saji, and Jihad-kuns, with your cop out Lockon, fifth rate trap, wedding killer Nena, and some lazy Fuhrer.
I go where the tits are. Shirin, Marina, Sumeragi, Feldt CB has MASSIVE boobs on their side. Who does the federation have? Soma and Mannequin? Pfffft.
Oh and just to reiterate SAJI you are supporting SAJI. Frankly comrade your support for CB and by extension Saji makes me sick.
Hey man, I’m just hoping the little guy grows up this season. Sure he’s an emo pussy now, but maybe being in the middle of a warzone instead of on the sidelines as a civilian will get him to man-up.
No comrade I think my support for grunts like Ginin, Pill Popper Louise, Katie, Patrick, Bushido Bob, Wild Bear, Soma, 00bama, and Prince Ali makes this Federation a good and just one.
So, basically you support the losing side? haha. Have fun riding on the Titanic.
The Federation has done much to advance humanity, clean energy, the end of the Darfur situation, and the restoration of order in war torn Somalia.
Yeah, but do they have tits on their side? The answer is no and this anime is all about robots and boobs. CB has both. What do the Federation have to get them by?
The best part of all this is that Gundam 00 kicks ass with only 87% synchro between the 2 GN drives. Can you imagine what Jihad-kun could do with 100% Synchro AND Trans-Am activated? The Federation doesn’t stand a chance.
Halcyon added these pithy words on Oct 13 08 at 8:04 pmCrusader, Halcyon has outargued you XD

That’s understating it - CB has overpowered Gundam mecha and boobs - what nearly every mecha otaku fantasies. By default, in a Gundam series, they will ultimately win at whatever price Sunrise thinks they can get away with - whether it be by way of channelling Zeta Gundam/Tomino or Gundam Wing/Gundam SEED.

So go follow your dick and fap to your old tits that have been used to death by Billy Goat and your Fuhrer Klaus. But you are a god forsaken communist after all so I suppose sharing your tits will not bother you at all, by the way your number is 9001 happy waiting.
You are the cancer that is killing mecha by demanding more hax and more Code Geasses and ignoring gems like VOTOMS, I support the good pilots win or lose. I like grunt suits because their pilots are usually hard working folk instead of emo teenagers that you like fapping furiously to.
I will enjoy watching Ali have the highest kill count in the series and possibly the franchise. If tits are all you care about so be it, but do not pretend for a minute that your little terrorists are doing anything good by intervening on the peaceful places of the world where were they when Somalia and Darfur burned and their people starved? In space fapping like you so enjoy your ivory tower and high minded fapping as CB kills more people than it saves.
I don’t like hax suits, I don’t like emo teenagers like Saji. It’s good of you to believe that Saji will grow up when he failed to do so last season, but good luck making love to your Saji dakimakura. I will support my liege lord by spreading his gospel so that he may rob you of your old tits and rape Feldt as he kills some meisters. Villains get to have fun goody little dicks like your beloved Saji have emotional problems and they have crises of faith. Prince Ali is not crazy he’s just ahead of the curve…

Honestly, I don’t even LIKE Mecha. The only Mecha I’ve enjoyed watching were MS 08th Team, Macross Plus and Gundam 00 so far. I, personally, don’t like when a production company makes the protagonist of a high-tech series a teenager. The only notable exception to this was Banner of the Stars, which is still the best sci-fi series I’ve ever seen to this day. But I also, understand why they do it. It’s so they can identify with the shounen demographic that marketing companies covet to sell them vast amounts of merchandise and let’s face it any mecha franchise is less about plot than it is about product and product placement through subtle advertising, if it weren’t companies like Sunrise wouldn’t be so keen on shoving as many model kits and figurines down your throat as humanly possible.
I will enjoy watching Ali have the highest kill count in the series and possibly the franchise.
Highest kill count? Are you high? Ali hasn’t killed anything but time. He spent most of the first series having little kids do all the killing for him and when it wasn’t little kids it was his subordinates. He’s the laziest mercenary I’ve ever seen. He’s going to get his ass handed to him mid-season just like he did last season. He’s a joke of a boss who’s only real talent is riling up Lockon. He’s a plot device, nothing more.
If tits are all you care about so be it, but do not pretend for a minute that your little terrorists are doing anything good by intervening on the peaceful places of the world where were they when Somalia and Darfur burned and their people starved? In space fapping like you so enjoy your ivory tower and high minded fapping as CB kills more people than it saves.
Hey man, change is good. Embrace change. Stop clinging to the old archaic ways. If it wasn’t for CB, your beloved Federation would’ve never even been formed. Shouldn’t you be thanking them? At least, until CB destroys what it created forming another beautiful cycle of revolution and reconstruction.
I don’t like hax suits, I don’t like emo teenagers like Saji.
LOL Then why do you watch Gundam? Gundam is ALL about hax suits. The only exception was MS 08th Team. Every other Gundam series has been a weapons race to acquire the most powerful suit to destroy its opposition. As I’ve previously stated, it’s all about selling products to shounen.
It’s good of you to believe that Saji will grow up when he failed to do so last season, but good luck making love to your Saji dakimakura.
I don’t “believe” he’ll grow up but I am hoping some time on the front lines will force some maturity into him. As a soldier, you, above all should know that being an active participant in combat tends to change a person. That’s what I’m hoping will happen to Saji. That seeing some heads fly and some beam weapons pass by his head will make him realize that he can no longer sit idly by on the sidelines and that he will have to fight for what he believes in (whatever that is) instead of relying on others to do the fighting for him.
I will support my liege lord by spreading his gospel so that he may rob you of your old tits and rape Feldt as he kills some meisters. Villains get to have fun goody little dicks like your beloved Saji have emotional problems and they have crises of faith. Prince Ali is not crazy he’s just ahead of the curve…
LOL Have fun on the Titanic. Cause at the end of the day, Ali will most likely get killed by Jihad-kun or the new Lockon Stratus, thus completing the circle of revenge.
I care not that you “win” my only concern is seeing how much of CB and Kataron Prince Ali will set a flame for lulz.
My guess is Ali won’t touch a single member of CB, but he’ll get a high kill on Kataron (and really, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel anyway). The main opposition to CB will be Ribbons and his army of FABULOUS robohomos along with Masked Graham.
Halcyon added these pithy words on Oct 14 08 at 6:40 amIn season one we have “secret police” which is called Celestial Being.
In season two we have “secret police” which is called A-LAWS.
This is very interesting, because both organizations use the same methods and have many secrets.
It’s Celestial Beings fault that A-LAWS was created, because it obvious that Celetial Being was A-LAWS model(in other words Celstial Being inspired to create A-LAWS). Celestial Being showed the world how you should deal with the ones who doesn’t listen to you. So now A-LAWS continues their unfinished work. In fact CB should be glad that such organization excist, becausea it means that CB is no needed anymore.
So this season is CB vs CB(in other words that the world could live in peace Celestial Being should destroy themselves and noone else).
I don’t root for CB and A-LAWS, but I root for Sergei, Kati, Soma, Patrick.
And Ali always gives a “good ride”. I think that a least one meister will die by his hands.
JUST FOR LOL
In this show there are two persons who always introduces themselves:
1)Patrick: I’m am AEU ACE, Patrick Colasour. I’m the king of war games.
2)Setsuna: I’m Setsuna F. Seiei, gundam meister. I’m gundam.
Crusader i am REALLY getting offended by you throwing the word terrorist around, it seems to have become the latest catch all term to refer to resistance movements.
plus that black and white standpoint of “your either with us or against us” is narrowminded, childish, tribal, and is often what causes wars in the first place
A terrorist is someone who attacks civiliains indiscriminately, often through cowardly means, in order to outline a political message, with the exception of the thrones (who don’t really count as part of celestial being) CB attacked other armies head-on, and considering their civillian status, that makes the gundam meisters unlawful combatants at most.
the un forces, when they killed lichty and christina in the first season by definition commited murder, as thosee two were unarmed civilians and weren’t actually doing any fighting and were therefore non-combatants.
@Halcyon
Prince Ali has killed more bad guys than Setsuna, Lagna Harvey, Johann Trinity, and Michael Trinity. Ali has also killed off two Dylandys, and offed Kinue for poking around and being useless. Prince Ali is the killer of useless characters and has done more for the side of justice by offing two Trinities and it would have been three had Setsuna not intervened to save Nena. Decry him in you jealous rage if you must, but never forget Ali has killed more than time and certainly more bad guys than you beloved Jihad-kun and Saji.
I hope one day you will be forced to understand when someone burns your home annually so you can rebuild it anew. Change you pay for… Also that is this hateful new regime of Sunrise, it did now use to be this way Tomino would have never allowed for shit like SEED to see the light of day, but you would no know because you will never revisit old series because you think new is better.
Unlike cowards such as yourself and your beloved Saji Prince Ali does not fear death.
I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air–
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath–
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows ’twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear . . .
But I’ve a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.
@lilu
So sad to see that most people have written off Bushido Bob, still supporting the real heroes of the show is always good.
@random hero
The summary is a joke comrade, take it or leave it. Wang Liu Ming is part of CB and she accepted the Trinities hence CB is a terrorist organization, just because some cells behave and others do not doesn’t mean the movement is not terrorist in character if cells like Trinity were getting support. The Jihad-kunc cell might be well behaved, but Wang Liu Ming, Ribbons, and Nena are undoubtedly up to no good and all are part of CB as all draw upon the same pool of resources. Lichty and Christine were on a hostile warship and giving support to combat units, they were not murdered as civilians they died as combatants, just because they did not have the good sense to carry a weapon is not the fault of the UN. War is unpleasant business and by supporting CB they accepted that they to be in the line of fire, your “civilians” were in a combat zone on a hostile warship on a hostile bridge, they merely shot the bridge because in war you want to trash your enemy’s command and control center, their intention was not to just to kill both of them. They just happened to be there at the wrong place at the wrong time. Tough luck, CB declared total war when they did not stop the Trinities and subsequently accepted them under the aegis of Wang Li Ming, as far as the UN was concerned CB had declared total war. They disguised themselves as civilians without ties to any state and were treated accordingly. War is brutal get use to it, which is why you don’t want it in the first place, but once it starts the brutality should come as no surprise. The UN was not discriminating between the Trinities and Jihad-kun’s cell, they couldn’t and since they had Gundams attacking them they were not in the business of asking questions while there was a hostile force intent on blowing them all to hell.
For all your moralistic platitudes about war, you forget that it is barbarism at best (it isn’t fair, but that’s what war is). Clausewitz was right, “Kind-hearted people might of course think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat the enemy without too much bloodshed, and might imagine this is the true goal of the art of war. Pleasant as it sounds, it is a fallacy that must be exposed: war is such a dangerous business that the mistakes which come from kindness are the very worst.” From the safety of your own home it’s easy to wish for nice things, but out there your will find that not all men are good, and that when things breakdown it’s hard to tell who is being naughty and who is being nice. The world is a dangerous place it is hardly pleasant all of the time and while you have a nice life where you live somewhere out there someone is getting trampled by an uncaring world.

That’s simply not true. Setsuna has gunned down scores of infidels as a child and has eliminated his fare share of Federation scum in his Gundam Exia. The only people Ali has wiped out were Neil Dylandy, Kinue (who was fucking useless anyway), and the 2 Trinity Brothers. Nena Trinity has had a higher kill count than Ali and that was just with the wedding. Ali has very rarely gotten his mittens dirty because he’s a sissyboy who likes to watch the battle from the sidelines and then ambush someone as opposed to fighting face to face.
Prince Ali is the killer of useless characters and has done more for the side of justice by offing two Trinities and it would have been three had Setsuna not intervened to save Nena. Decry him in you jealous rage if you must, but never forget Ali has killed more than time and certainly more bad guys than you beloved Jihad-kun and Saji.
By my count, Ali has killed all of 4 people. Nena wiped out a whole family. Jihad-kun is a stone cold killer that killed his own family and then became the highest scorer ever in RL kills, killing off Alejandro Corner and most of his cronies in SINGLE combat.
I hope one day you will be forced to understand when someone burns your home annually so you can rebuild it anew.
I have homeowner’s insurance. If it burns down, I get a new house AND money!!
Change you pay for… Also that is this hateful new regime of Sunrise, it did now use to be this way Tomino would have never allowed for shit like SEED to see the light of day, but you would no know because you will never revisit old series because you think new is better.
I never said “new” is better. But why watch older versions of the same old shit?
The franchise has not essentially changed much in the last 20 years, with the exception of a cosmetic face lift, it’s always the same story. Underdog takes on large conglomerate empire in shiny suit. Underdog gets an upgrade and then beats the crap out of conglomerate empire.
Unlike cowards such as yourself and your beloved Saji Prince Ali does not fear death.
Sure he does. That’s why he retreats from battle anytime he’s in danger. When the Trinity Brothers first came on the scene to help Gundam Exia, Ali ran like a little bitch. Why? Because he’s a coward. Always has been. He always has someone else do most of the work for him while he sits and waits (just look at the last battle, how long did it take for him to finally engage?). The only way Ali can get any kills is through backstabbing and surprise attacks. He’s a long-haired, Fabio-esque, limp-wristed Merc and in this season the power of Almighty Allah shall shower his shitty mecha in delicious GN particle justice in the form of his messenger, Setsuna F. Awesome.
@lilu
In season one we have “secret police” which is called Celestial Being.
They weren’t really a “secret police” since 1. They pretty much announced themselves to the entire world via satellite and 2. They weren’t sanctioned or supported by any nations. If anything, they were an outlaw vigilante group enforcing their own idea of justice.
In season two we have “secret police” which is called A-LAWS.
This is accurate.
This is very interesting, because both organizations use the same methods and have many secrets.
This is not accurate. The only thing secret about Celestial Being were the identity of the Gundam pilots. Everything else was known.
Secondly, Gundams only intervened when someone started an armed conflict. The A-Laws are dispatched as a suppression force to any opposition regardless of whether or not they start an armed conflict (for example, See Marina ‘Pacifist’ Ismael getting arrest for sitting and watching TV).
It’s Celestial Beings fault that A-LAWS was created, because it obvious that Celetial Being was A-LAWS model(in other words Celstial Being inspired to create A-LAWS).
True.
Celestial Being showed the world how you should deal with the ones who doesn’t listen to you. So now A-LAWS continues their unfinished work.
False. A-Laws does not continue the work of CB. What A-Laws tries to do is enforce a monopoly and crush the opposition. Celestial Being never toppled governments, they just toppled their military organizations.
In fact CB should be glad that such organization excist, becausea it means that CB is no needed anymore.
Heresy! So long as there is injustice and the threat of War, CB will always been needed!!
So this season is CB vs CB(in other words that the world could live in peace Celestial Being should destroy themselves and noone else).
Nah. This season is more like CB vs. Shitty CB wannabes.
I don’t root for CB and A-LAWS, but I root for Sergei, Kati, Soma, Patrick.
Why do people always root for the side that sucks? Aside from delicious megane-Kati, the other pilots were a joke. Sergei was a pedophile. Soma was a loli and Patrick was Kati’s bitchboy. Patrick lost every fight he was ever in. LOL. He’s like Gundam’s version of Tamaki from Code Geass.
And Ali always gives a “good ride”. I think that a least one meister will die by his hands.
Ali is a mid-level boss. He’ll probably get killed by Lockon #2 to avenge the death of Lockon #1. Count on it. Since Ribbons has a Tierde clone, we know it’s going to be Ribbons vs. Tierde at or near the finale. Setsuna won’t die because he has to fight Masked Graham and Allelujah won’t die because he has to fight Soma. So, Ali is pretty much screwed. He might get to kill some of Kataron or some of the extra CB support staff but he won’t touch any of the newly minted Gundam pilots.

Bah killing nameless grunts and people off screen does not count, by my reckoning Ali has lived longer and killed more. Shouta Jihad-kun kills belong to Ali because Setsuna never took responsibility for them, so Ali gets credit besides he took a bunch of loser kidd and made them his weapons, Setsuna was just defective and broken a failure tht was not caught by quality control. Anyways killing nameless grunts is not an accomplishment, its a fucking given harem animu fag. Named Characters please, besides Ali founded a whole movement to kill thousands just because Setsuna is too stupid to found his own movement and make his own little jihad-kuns doesn’t make Prince Ali any less of a villain because we all know corporations are the biggest crooks of them all and Prince Ali founded Jihad Unlimited. Every great villain has lackeys hell even the Joker had try outs while you cower in your parent’s home.
How dare you claim to be a fan of anime when you have not seen all of LOGH! Heresy REPENT HEATHEN! REPENT FOR TOMORROW YOU DIE!
No seriously there are streams and DDL if you know where to look hint hint ask your harem animu f/a/gs or some kind gentle/m/en. Still WTF? Try harder to see one of the best space operas out there, you are less than half way through, I cannot convey how disappointed and disgusted I am with you right now…The Goddess of Victory waves her panties at at you. What next now your are going to tell me you never watched Escaflowne or other such heresy. You love SEED and GSD but never finished LOGH?! what is the world coming to?
@Zentari
I never said it as real only gritty and dark. The Barcoff Team makes the meisters look like children, and they have GODLY HAX that makes planets implode, far superior to this TRANS-AM bullshit and chips. We all know that the holy grail of mecha was G Gundam, because Master Asia can kill mecha with his scarf and the EAST IS BURNING RED!

Doubtful. Ali spends more time with his tail between his legs watching fights than causing them. Jihad-kun has been on the front lines and in the trenches since he was old enough to grow body hair. Ali? He sits in a safe place and coddles his himself until all the dirty work is done and mops up after. He’s a janitor, not a soldier.
Shouta Jihad-kun kills belong to Ali because Setsuna never took responsibility for them, so Ali gets credit besides he took a bunch of loser kidd and made them his weapons, Setsuna was just defective and broken a failure tht was not caught by quality control.
You can’t give away kills. Kills are non-transferrable. Fact is, Ali hasn’t killed half the number of people Setsuna has or Nena for that matter.
Anyways killing nameless grunts is not an accomplishment, its a fucking given harem animu fag.
Fact is, Setsuna’s been killing since he was a child. He’s a one-man army. Meanwhile, Ali is a homo that relies on cheap grunts for his kills.
Every great villain has lackeys hell even the Joker had try outs while you cower in your parent’s home.
Joker never relied on his lackeys for his kills though. He got his kills the good old-fashioned way, up close and personal. Hell, even Alejandro Corner got some face to face kills at the end and where was Ali? Hiding behind some damn floating rocks waiting like a sissyboy, pissing his pants because of Exia’s Trans Am.
How dare you claim to be a fan of anime when you have not seen all of LOGH! Heresy REPENT HEATHEN! REPENT FOR TOMORROW YOU DIE!
Bro, I didn’t even know anime existed until early 90s. By the time I got into anime, I had already missed the LoGH boat. Back then, I had to rely on bootleg VHS and LoGH was never among the the list of tapes sold by the greasy japanese kid behind the 7-11.
No seriously there are streams and DDL if you know where to look hint hint ask your harem animu f/a/gs or some kind gentle/m/en.
I’m googling for DDLs now. Hopefully I’ll get some QUALITY sub.
What next now your are going to tell me you never watched Escaflowne or other such heresy.
Saw Escaflowne but I never finished it LOLOLOLOL. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to though. Stupid Fox.
You love SEED and GSD but never finished LOGH?! what is the world coming to?
Wait, wtf? I’ve never watched EITHER Gundam because I know they suck before even watching them. I avoid shit like that because the invincibility of the main character makes me rage like fuck.

Oh god you made me gag you saw Foxaflowne…the real deal is less than 35 USD for crying out loud at Best Buy. Just go go get it and watch, we can talk about Gundam later but for the love of Haruhi-sama we need to bring you up to speed.
Google helps, but 4chan is the place to go for old school stuff. Even if you hate old stuff LOGH is required material. Ignore SEED and GSD stay away, and watch G Gundam instead.
@Zentari
Little has been said of it, but it’s still pretty good.
So hilarious how Saji went to the Celestial Being blog and suddenly became a believer. You can trust anything you read on the internet! Red Haro really is quite the charmer.
What exactly was Sumeragi’s contribution to this battle? They act like she made a great plan, but really Setsuna just pwned everyone with his overpowered Gundam with 2 GN Drives in an SLI config. Still, I love me some emo Sumeragi.

in the last half of your rebuttal you make the mistake of assuming that A) i am under illusions as to what war is like and B) that i have any faith in humanity to begin with.
and those weren’t moral platitudes they were legal definitions.
I am more than aware that human beings are not nice, and have often suffered at the hands of other people, be it physically, finanically or mentally, I am also aware that war nothing more that two groups of people trying to kill eachother for either territory, resources or because they don’t see eye to eye, a.k.a barbarism at best, (hell the whole of human culture is barbarism) so don’t try and patronise me, ever.

@randome Hero
My rules of engagement have legal precedent as well and to be honest I think your legal definitions on terrorism are incorrect if you consider Lichty and Christina “innocent” civilians. I apologize for being patronizing, but your insistence on Christina and Lichty being poor “innocent” civilians who were doing perfectly innocent activities that were not causing the deaths of UN soldiers and were “murdered” led me to believe that your definitions were incorrect. I also found it galling and insulting that two characters who were aiding in the destruction and death of UN Soldiers, not to mention the saving of the last Trinity Nena, were all of a sudden innocent when the bridge to their warship was hit by a well aimed shot. Even if you claim to have lost faith in humanity the fact that you bothered to sympathize with those two gives reason to doubt your cynicism. None of them wore a standard uniform and honestly any person found on a hostile warship is liable to be killed in a combat situation. I reiterate the UN fired on the bridge of a hostile vessel that was firing on them and they had neither the technology nor the means to identify anyone sitting there. They were not murdered they were killed in the line of duty, had they not been part of CB which was in a state of war with the UN then they were merely collateral damage who had no business being on that warship in the first place.
You started off you post with a hint of hostility by putting words in my mouth about “with us or against us” and going on a spiel about childish and narrow mindedness. Don’t insinuate that I am ignorant on the subject of terrorism, opposing it will claim the best years of my life. I hope it will not be the case with you. High cynicism entreats a sort of black humor, I am sorry it was lost on you.

I always have this embedded picture of space-opera (in every kind of forms of entertainment, anime or film) with someone on the top of pseudo-Reichstag, be it puppet-loli-ruler, a masked dictator *cough anakin cough*, the destiny plan guy (whatever his name) in Fukuda-phail-show… it’s always this war with these kind of people
Now I see a pattern moving from villains as not being instrumental as it were before. It’s more on war of ideas (or maybe because Seiji Mizushima is a post-modernist director, unlike many others?); which we just saw the end (or beginning?) of it as Code Geass takes it closure. Like Code Geass as a equivalent (oh alright, a rip off) for “V for Vendetta” in anime medium.. Maybe G00 will experiment on importing more elements of Hollywood. But I should know better that Sunrise is like a Hollywood pop-cracking studio in Japan for anime industry right now. Good stuff ahead (lol, as if).
I just thought that if only they could make A-Laws guys more depth just like Matt Damon in Good Shepherd… Hey even psychopath in anime is not as ingenious as Joker. I’d like to make this comparison with Hollywood, since I thought that although the medium is different, the technique (not the format, but characterization) is not mutually exclusive. They could import something here and there.. What’s your take on this?

i never once said they were innocent, or that i sympathised
and my comments about your use of the word terrorism are mainly directed at your responses to halcyon, zentari and various others, black humour or not, you still come off as very high and mighty and it gets more than a little tiresome after a while, and bear in mind that for some it has become impossible to tell if someone is being serious or not anymore

@random hero
Dude crusader is right Christina and the other guy (not looking up) weren’t in any way civillians, in war when you sink the enemy ship and you kill the crew it isn’t murder even if the crew were unarmed they were part of the enemy force and in no way can be considered as inocent considering they had declared war, they were merely war cassualties. I know I may not know the correct terms but trust me they weren’t civilians to say the least.
@Halcyon
Just because I love seeing Crusader write entire pages of text to respond please keep this up I enjoy reading it XD. But I’m sorry my friend, Ali does have the highest named kill count in the show it doesn’t matter what tactics he used in fact he could’ve used the most underhanded tactic and he still would have a higher kill count (this is war there is no honor that sense of pride is just silly, in it were trying to resemble anything that is real but as most of us know anime characters do tend to follow a deep sense of pride which usually leads to their downfall or uberhaxness because they can talk to machines to make them work when they wouldn’t work any other way any of the two) because he’s killed named characters if we were counting unamed characters in a gundam show then honestly friggin Kira Yamato would have the highest fucking kill count I mean 2 seasons of him pressing a single button and wiping out entire armies come on I think you haven’t watched it but if you admire the destruction of helpless grunts with the push of a button then there you go. Plus even if Ali is a coward he still could take on (sort of) a gundam with uber hax GN particles with a cheap mass production enact so coward or not he still is a great pilot. It’s not being a coward it’s being ahead of the curve. Who ever told you that running in the middle of a battle field with uberhaxness screaming and taking on 1000 people all by yourself is brave think again. It’s not being brave it’s being stupid. Also besides the gundam battle you can’t confirm that Setsuna has been in the front lines when he was a child all we know is that he joined Ali’s group killed his parents and that battle that we see he fell in love with Gundam 0. For all we know he was running around scared to death with a gun in his first battle and Gundam 0 came in and saved him. Setsuna just makes a good anime a traumatized teenager with uberhaxnes. Sure what Ali does is cheap and underhanded but that’s war to ya there is no honor there is no mercy there is only a Winner and a Loser and victory must be achieved by any means necessary. What CB does is also nothing short of underhanded taking uberhax suits and throw the world into turmoil to remake it. Sure it’s a good idea in theory you get rid of the military and people will learn to solve the problems another way but we all know this is impossible as humans we will always fight. When CB disapeared humans would start to find other ways to fight and it would all return to the way it was. But I learned that in Anime none of this applies. Everyone will live happily ever after. So LONG LIVE CB MAY YOUR UBERHAX GN PARTICLES MAKE GN RAINBOWS OVER THE WORLD AND WHEN THE GN PARTICLES FALL ON EARTH MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY AND FORGET ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS. Ali just needs to be around to reduce the cast size so the ending can be a lot more precise. As long As there are less than 10 named characters left I’ll be happy. There probably won’t be.

Prince Ali! Mighty is he!
Ali al-Sarshes!
Strong as ten regular men
Take it from me!
He faced the Thrones Trinity
Who’d make a saner man flee
But whos Gundam kill-count’s now three?
Why, Prince Ali!
@ Halcyon
i kinda like the fact the fact that Ali is a opportunistic, cunning and devious pilot, it’s makes him more believeable as a character, he’s knows when the odds are in his favour, when to attack, and when to retreat, and he also knows where to attack from in order to press the advantage
all the ‘ace pilots’ in Gundam, and mecha anime as a whole can grouped into one of four combat styles, steamroller, bushwacker, sniper, and plugger
Steamrollers are aggressive types who favor in-your-face frontal assaults, raining blows on their enemy to keep them off-balance. Experienced pilots can almost always dodge a frontal attack, but if you keep pressing the attack, sooner or later they might slip up and take a hit.
Char, for all his acrobatics, basically sticks to this tactic.
Bushwhackers are cunning, devious pilots who eschew easy-to-evade frontal attacks in favor of taking potshots from the rear or other blind spots. When engaged in a duel, they try to wriggle out of it and drop out of the enemy’s field of view so they can come in from another direction and catch the foe off-guard. Frequently, bushwackers will sacrifice spare weapons as decoys, distracting the enemy so they can ambush them from behind.
Amuro Ray and Anavel Gato are masters of this technique.
As was Norris Packard, a major enemy in 08th MS Team whose Crowning Moment Of Awesome seemed designed specifically to show how much more dangerous this form of Ace was compared to “standard” soldiers.
Snipers are similar to bushwackers, but lack the skill to escape a duel. Instead, they hide behind asteroids and colonies, popping up to take potshots at their targets, and try to avoid close combat and running battles at all costs.
Camille Vidan, a textbook example, frequently has to be rescued by his teammates when he gets stuck in a duel and can’t get away to launch surprise sniper attacks.
Pluggers - for want of a better term - are defensive players, who manage to stay calm and collected even under continuing attacks from bushwackers or steamrollers. By continually dodging and deflecting enemy attacks, they can tie up otherwise dangerous foes in time-wasting sparring matches, and may even be able to sneak in the occasional counterattack.
This tactic is typically the province of secondary characters like Emma Sheen and Mavette Fingerhut, but Victory Gundam hero Usso Ebbing also fits the profile.
Many real-life fighter aces used tactics that broke down along these general lines. Boelcke, Immelmann and Manfred von Richthofen himself were all strict tacticians who disdained fancy aerobatics as a fools errand, insisting that combat was all about lining up the shot. By contrast, aces like Lanoe Hawker, Frank Luke and Richthofen’s brother, Lothar, were insanely aggressive, disdaining tactics in favor of brutal, reckless all-out attacks. René Fonk would stalk enemy aircraft for hours before striking, and was such a good shot that he once downed six enemy aircraft with a mere 56 rounds- making him both a Sniper and a Bushwhacker. Werner Voss was both a steamroller and a plugger- in his final fight, he began by engaging eight enemy planes single-handedly, and then managed to not only keep attacking, but keep one step ahead of all of them before finally being brought down. “Pluggers” are more common in reality then fiction, as many dogfights are decided by who makes the least mistakes.
in the case of Gundam 00
Setsuna and Graham are steamrollers
Ali and Allelujah (or more accurately Hallelujah) are bushwackers
lockon stratos is another text book example of a sniper (no brainer really)
and tieria is a plugger
while i cannot speak for crusader, i can say that my reason for liking the bad guys is that they are generally far more interesting characters (and often cooler looking) than the good guys, they are also the catalyst for the events to take place and without them you wouldn’t even have a story now would you. if prince ali hadn’t been around, jihad-kun would probably be living a boring and average life herding cattle or something rather than ‘becoming gundam’, and both he and lockon probably never would’ve joined celestial being in the first place.

Uhh.. 1 of the characters Ali killed was a civilian, not even a combatant so that doesn’t even count. Another one was completely defenseless and unarmed that he shot in the chest while pretending to be an ally.
So, really, the only “combat” kills he has are Lockon and Johann Trinity. A whole big ONE more “named” kill than Setsuna. That really isn’t impressive, especially for someone who’s supposed to be a “badass” villain.
characters in a gundam show then honestly friggin Kira Yamato would have the highest fucking kill count I mean 2 seasons of him pressing a single button and wiping out entire armies come on I think you haven’t watched it but if you admire the destruction of helpless grunts with the push of a button then there you go.
I haven’t watched SEED or SEED Destiny because they’re garbage. I won’t have a clue as to what you’re saying if you bring it up.
Plus even if Ali is a coward he still could take on (sort of) a gundam with uber hax GN particles with a cheap mass production enact so coward or not he still is a great pilot.
Oh? Is that why he ran from the Gundam Thrones? Is that why he hid behind rocks in the final battle? For someone who has such “great” piloting skills, he sure seems scared.
Who ever told you that running in the middle of a battle field with uberhaxness screaming and taking on 1000 people all by yourself is brave think again.
By yourself? He had a full squadron with him during the final battlefield and he sent them ahead of himself while he hid behind a rock. That’s not “great” piloting.
There’s been at least one other occassion in which he sent his squad in ahead of him to, basically, die while he stayed behind and then joined the fight after the fact.
He’s a sorry excuse for a villain and I’ll be glad to see him get axed by either Lockon or Setsuna F. Awesome.
Also besides the gundam battle you can’t confirm that Setsuna has been in the front lines when he was a child all we know is that he joined Ali’s group killed his parents and that battle that we see he fell in love with Gundam 0.
Well, the OPening of Season 2 pretty much shows Setsuna fighting as a child. And the first episode of Season 1 also shows Setsuna fighting as a child. There are numerous clues that Setsuna was a front line soldier in Ali’s camp when he was a kid.
For all we know he was running around scared to death with a gun in his first battle and Gundam 0 came in and saved him.
That wasn’t his first battle. See above.
Setsuna just makes a good anime a traumatized teenager with uberhaxnes. Sure what Ali does is cheap and underhanded but that’s war to ya there is no honor there is no mercy there is only a Winner and a Loser and victory must be achieved by any means necessary.
LOL If you think victory is achieved by any means necessary then why do you complain about HAX suits? If anything goes doesn’t that mean HAX suits also?
You can’t say it’s okay for Ali to do whatever he wants to win, and then complain about Celestial Being having HAX suits to win. It’s either all or nothing. You have to pick a side.
What CB does is also nothing short of underhanded taking uberhax suits and throw the world into turmoil to remake it.
Every Gundam, since the first Gundam has had hax suits and teenage pilots. Amuro Ray was a 15 year old engineer in the first Gundam before he got his Gundam prototype.
Sure it’s a good idea in theory you get rid of the military and people will learn to solve the problems another way but we all know this is impossible as humans we will always fight.
The idea behind CB was not to dismantle the military. It was to prevent Wars. CB only intervened once there were armed conflicts. They didn’t go into peaceful countries and try to take away their self-defense force. They only attacked countries that were ALREADY fighting to STOP them from fighting.
Everyone will live happily ever after. So LONG LIVE CB MAY YOUR UBERHAX GN PARTICLES MAKE GN RAINBOWS OVER THE WORLD AND WHEN THE GN PARTICLES FALL ON EARTH MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY AND FORGET ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS. Ali just needs to be around to reduce the cast size so the ending can be a lot more precise. As long As there ar
