The Way of the Samurai is found in death. When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death. It is not particularly difficult. Be determined and advance. To say that dying without reaching one’s aim is to die a dog’s death is the frivolous way of sophisticates. When pressed with the choice of life or death, it is not necessary to gain one’s aim. We all want to live. And in large part we make our logic according to what we like. But not having attained our aim and continuing to live is cowardice. This is a thin dangerous line. To die without gaining one’s aim is a dog’s death and fanaticism. But there is no shame in this. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai. If by setting one’s heart right every morning and evening, one is able to live as though his body were already dead, he gains freedom in the Way. His whole life will be without blame, and he will succeed in his calling. – Bushido Bob, The Record of the Flag Fighters.
Yeah I’d cry too if I was a little bitch that took orders from Hatpsim. Otherwise those better be for missing Louise.
Real Gangsta there, Lyle…
Carrier has arrived. Oh if only this were katie’s, what FIght have been…
So it turns out Lyle is a little bitch after all as he could not shoot Jihad-kun in the face at point blank I guess he and Anew had that in common. Still Lyle wanted to shoot gangsta style like the little pansy so I hope that he is not loing for the world Prince Ali was howling from the bench that Ribbons allow him to sortie and correct this mistake. Jihad-kun is using all manner of cheat codes and makes himself an innovator because he knows that on a one on one fight with Dark Amuro the little rag head will lose. Revival misses Katie so much that he is using his quantum brain waves to ask himself, “What would Katie do?” and guess correctly that Jihad-kun be cheating. Louise is taking her medicine like a good girl when Andrei waltzes into ask for a date., Louise tells him to piss off at which point Bushido Bob picks her oup and they go out. Goodman has fucking had it with the license holders and their inability to defeat CB so he assembles the might of the Federation Fleet. He lamented how it should have been Katie’s command, but it seems that her honeymoon with Patrick was just that great.
Goodman >>> Sumeragi Goodman also wonders where is Prince Ali.
Jihad-kun is cheating, get use to it…Sunrise can’t code for shit.
Even Louise is raging at Jihad-kun’s unsportsmanlike conduct.
Wang is cornered on one of the many abandoned colonies that just seem to be every where these days. She goes on to blame Hong Long for being smart enough to not take the job as head Wang. She lies again saying how she only wanted a future of her own and would have sacrificed all her wealth and fame, I see the bitch subscribes to the Touya school of bullshits. It seems that Prince Ali did leave a little bit of himself in Nena and she storms in and kills Hong Long for being a cunt. Seems the great ninja who rescued the Ayatolla Rachmadi forgot that he could dodge bullets. Wang runs away thinking that she could escape and hands off the plans to Memento Mori, many Bothans died to bring Jihad-kun this information. Nena was simpy playing with her prey like Prince Ali taught her when he violated her many eps ago. Mrs. Wang is finally kaput and so ends her terrible shitty plot line of living forever to look down on the poor. Nena tells Dark Haro that she plans on using Ribbons, at which point it is revealed that Dark Amuro was the one who forged Dark Haro in the fires of A Baoa Qu.
Since you have a telepathic link with Katie mind telling us what awesome honeymoon Patrick had been planning all these years?
Louise I applaud your dedication in ensuring that you have prevented any chance of you bearing Saji’s child.
Rebellious Louise is smexy. She’ll be as great as Kanako someday.
Nena expected Ali to finish off the job but the good Prince was held up by delays at the Africa Tower. Louise was given Ali blessing to kill his former mistress as Prince Ali had long ago tired of Nena. Louise does Prince Ali proud and tears Nena to shreds and avenges her family. Louise is happy that she has finally achieved more in life than all of Kataron and CB combined. Andrei who has been stalking Louise ever since she sortied with Bob arrives on the scene to find Louise in a giddy state. Bushido Bob had for a while reverted to being Graham Aker again an gives a rousing speech about how Jihad-kun had polluted the skies, killed his friends, his teacher, and had trampled on the pride of the Flag Fighters. The fight goes well for Bob as Jihad-kun’s hacks are no match for Bob and Susanoo. Sadly things are interrupted by a nakkid Jihad-kun sequence to please Sunrise’s most favored Fujoshi fans. Turns out that Aeolia Josef Mengele a National Socialist who wanted to turn every one into an innovator without their consent…
You.
Good Day I am Bushido Bob, I am here to pick up Miss Louise Halevy.
Yep, Louise would rather go out with Bob than you.
Impression:
So fucking finally the terrorists of CB finally get picked off, Nena, Hong Long, and Ms. Wang are all finally dead. It is a great day for the Federation as it seems that Goodman has no love for the Innovators while Jihad-kun loves them so much he wants to be one. Not since Michael Jackson have I seen such base betrayal of one’s ethnicity. Though, to be fair great were the cheers of Kurds everywhere that Jihad-kun was expelled from their ranks. With four left to go unless they pull out all the stops Gundam 00 will fall somewhere between ambitious but decent or if they elect to have a shopping episode it will be consigned to the shit pile of Cosmic Era, a cancerous blight upon the franchise. I say this because we still have no idea what Goodman, Lindt, Homer, and 00bama were fighting for and nary a mention of their motivations. I would like to know since Goodman and Homer were suspicious of these Permit holding Innovators and it seems Goodman has a sort of hero worship going for Homer. It is a pity that they have been all but forgotten, but an even greater tragedy is that Prince Ali is no where to be seen, though the blurb about mercenaries gives me hope that the most famous mercenary of the age will join us for the final countdown.
I applaud Louse’s policy of any one but Andrei and Saji.
Oh Andrei when will you learn…
Great knock off iPod Shuffle ya got there Klaus… let me guess 64 kb?
Still Bob is finally off the bench though if he still has his pride in being a Flag Fighter he will simply beat up Jihad-kun, if he joins him then it will soon be every one vs Ribbons, in which case Nu Gundam 00 Raiser with Dark Haro better be up to snuff as Mr. Gundam himself will be at the controls. I am saddened that Louise is being forced down the path of Quess instead of Gato. I still hold out faint hope that Louise will go out in a blaze of glory after killing the Hataway wannabe Saji and use her mobile armor to decimate the Kataron fleet before plowing into Klaus and Shirin’s flag ship. Speaking of endings it seems that Sunrise has opted to copy Kawamori and his music endings. Normally I would welcome this but Princess Poverty and the Chipmunks are terrible musicians and singers. Not enough has gone into making these losers top tier stars to make a good Macrossian finale. Such a pity, only now do they want to have Marina say LISTEN TO MY SONG. I hope Fire Bomber or Krauser II is brought in at the last minute to save us from the fail that is Princess Poverty. Still their pathetic attempts at trying to make Kataron and CB look like the good guys is getting desperate. Hell, the Fat Seelian Kid is getting fatter by the episode, and they did not even put on their seat belts and want us all to convert our music into midi files ridden with static.
The Fat kid got fatter I see, and if only a train hit them…that would have taught these stupid fucks to CLICK IT OR TICKET.
I for one welcome our Dark Amuro Overlord.
Hong Long liek stupid question long time…
Soma is dead to me, if Soma were alive and well she would not have let Haptism make her cry. No the Soma I knew would have kicked E-57 in the balls and claimed Arios as the price for his insolence. Sadly it was not to be and I am left wondering what Fight Have Been. Still now that Lyle is a certified sissy I hope that he will be killed off so he can join Anew in the I can’t shoot for shit hell. I hope that if Katie and Patrick show up at the head of a massive Feddie Fleet that they do it later rather than sooner so they won’t risk being hit with the fail stick like Ms. Wang was. I am still disappointed at how pitiful her motivations were and I found it laughable that Hong Long bought all her bullshit. Still good riddance at least back in S1 she provided fap material to balance out the Fujoshi pandering, but now after getting old and ugly she long ago out lived her usefulness. Renge is playing her hand very late in the game and I hope Ribbons makes her pay dearly for her ingratitude. With any luck Ribbons will be piloting Nu Gundam 00 Raiser with Prince Ali as his wingman as they try to drop Axis Proud Colony onto the Earth. Lyle will pull a Nina Purpleton to piss every one off. The GN Pixie dust will reach near toxic levels banishing Marie to the depths of hell. Revival will survive through the power of love to return to Katie, Louise will be a crazy version of Gato and kill Saji for a happy ending. Katie and Patrick will end their honeymoon and Katie will take command of Londo Bell, Patrick will then take a powered up Ahead Custom with his Immortal 4th Team or he could be Katie’s Helmsman. Krauser II will come out of hell rape Marina and sing Satsugai on the bridge of Katie’s Flagship to end the war for BEST END. Then cut to Katie and Patick kissing, with Soma and Louise getting FRIENDLY. Worse comes to worse if Maria and her chipmuncks do sing then I hope Eej and his band of merry men will kindly dub over it like they did last time…
As if Ms. Wang can think…
If only they had the sense to do a sordid the Rise and Fall of the Wangs documentary…
Should have stuck with Naruto Hong Long…
The Wang Head is a sacred position…and here I though Wang was always sick. After all who throws pool parties in the middle of an operation?
You’d still be old and ugly though…
Like you ever risked those…dignity? Sure, but fame? Never, not even once.
Really should have stayed in Naruto there Hong Long…
Whipped…henpecked, need I go on?
Shit you knocked her up?
I see Prine Ali’s memento has made you powerful…
The feeling is most mutual.
Say goodby Releena Wang.
The man who could dodge pullets could not dodge a pistol…EPIC AN HERO there Hong Long.
The greatest crime of all you shall feel in thyself!
Casaval Nii-sama!
Well Nena…If it had been Prince Ali the first shot…
…would have been all yo needed.
Peince Ali only played with his prey as a reward for aevery head shot… don’t get cocky Nena.
Wang no date poor people.
Oh Bob it wants to be with you…
BRO FIST.
This is why I am furious that he’s been kept on the bench this long.
Remember the Flag Fighters! Honor their sacrifice!
Translation: Are you a pussy Jihad-kun?
I’ll take that as a yes.
Damn now which one ot get first…
Never a personal sacrifice I see…
O RLY?
Is that fear Terrorist?
Nena, Hero of the Soviet Union…
O RLY?
It was built by Armuro…
Unlike other Haros mine are better than the ones I built in UC. That little pussy Athrun ain’t got nothing on me.
That night Prince Ali taught Nena so many things…like how to kill properly. Still the Good Prince succeeded greatly in non-combat thngs.
Make way for Prince Ali!
Say hey! It’s Prince Ali!
Hey! Clear the way of his taxi cab!
Hey you!
Let him through!
Or it’s you he’ll stab!
You don’t wanna be the first one to earn his ire!
CUT! What? Prince Ali couldn’t make it…and he’s sending in a replacement? Hello your highness you sure she can do the job? I understand she has a private army… No that won’t be a problem we can make do. Well see you soon your highness. Okay his highness says we will roll with it… Take 2!
Make way!
Here she comes!
Sound the bells! Load the guns!
‘Cause you’re gonna hate this guy!
Prince Louise! Murderous she!
Louise Hal-evy
Kills for fun
Give her a gun
Then watch the spree!
Now Gundam pilot is dead.
And Saji’s gonna get vent-ed
‘Cause Louise’s sick in the head–Undoubtedly!
Prince Louise! Mighty is she!
Louise Hal-evy!
Strong as ten regular men
Take it from me!
She faced the Throne Trinity
Who’d make a saner man flee
But whos Gundam kill-count’s will soon be three?
Why, Prince Louise!
She’s got so many shadowy backers
Private armies
But they’d work for free
When it comes to expensive mobile suits
Yeah she’s had a few,
I’m telling you,
It’s a world-wide conspiracy!
Prince Louise! Handsome is she!
Louise Hal-evy!
That goatee! I wish it could be!
Closer to me!
Well, get on out in that square
Come steel your nerves and prepare!
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Louise!
She’s got ninety-five brown Kurdish jihad-kuns!
(She’s called the jihad, let’s fight the jihad)
And to join her she charges no fee!
(‘Cept your parents! Kill your parents!)
She bends nations to her will for fun!
(Proud to work for him)
They bow to her whim!
It’s best for them!
They’re just scared into loyalty to Halevy!
Prince Louise!
Prince Louise!
The adversary! Louise Halevy!
Mike Trinity, wishes that he, was half as crazy
Well he saw the Regnant and thought “Why,–I think I’ll give it a try.”
Next thing you know, Andrei’s hit the floor,
She’s got beams, GN drives
And fang-oos galore!
Takes no alias, heads up to space,
And shows stupid Nena what for!
Can’t flee from Prince Louisei!
Bravo Louise Bravo!
Great Job Louise not quite up to Prince Ali’s level but you did good. I am sure the Prince would like to congratulate you for taking care of his unfinished business…
Can a I get a Trans GARham?
Oh Katie it all could have been yours…oh what Fight have been?
Nena jumps to fourth before getting offed by Louise who leaps ahead of the pack through her numerous almost rapes. Patrick is still MIA with Katie for their honeymoon while Prince Ali had better DON”T BE LATE if he wants to keep his lead.

You forgot the best part. The kiddie meat shield is going to space!
Translation: Are you a pussy Jihad-kun?
It’s quite obvious he is since he wants Lyle all to himself by killing Anew and then took Lyle’s girly punches. He couldn’t even look at Bushido-san in the eyes. By the way, Lyle had such a good angle (thumbs up on a good angle right, Matsurika?) to shoot Setsuna. What a wuss!
Like I had mentioned before about Sunrise’s fake death scenerio. Those Chinese/Taiwanese fugitives who can miraculously speak Japanese aren’t dead until no third season is confirmed or until they pop out of nowhere. It seems they took the later and gave us whiny Yomi impersonator (from Gai-Rei) who blamed her brother. I knew that bro would die since he just had to act GAR in which he failed.
Anyways, it seems we might see Prince Ali pretty soon as well as Setsuna becoming a full-fledged Innovator. I prefer SEED Mode, but Innovator is fine too. The Black Haro freaked me out, but for some reason, I wanted to see more Nena. ^^
Lastly, the only way Louise can be the next Kanako is by accepting the fact that Yuri is Power! BELIEVE IN CHANGE and anything is possible!
46 episodes and Wang and Nena didn’t get a lick of backstory. WTF was the point of keeping them around Sunrise? Shit, no main characters are dead – Neil doesn’t count since he’s been replaced by Lyle.
All we’ve had so far is minor character deaths and Sergei. This will be one fucked up resolution if Ali, Sergei and Ribbons are the only major characters that die.
I want to hear more about the evil magics that went into forging Dark Haro. I am waiting for some Dark Haro TransAm. Speaking of which, I think it’s pretty clear that Aeolia’s plan was to use Setsuna to get all the guys in the universe naked at the same time.
Man, I hate Klaus now for spreading that crappy Marina song to the radio stations. How is that the best signal they could get? They can build freaking city-destroying lasers, but not decent satellite radio? Or was the recording studio that bad in their cave?
The end of Wang made no sense, but I was glad to see it. Poor poor Setsuna couldn’t get a date =(. You know when Louise was spazzing, Andrei was thinking that he’d still hit it.
I think its probably for the best every main/minor character but Saji dies just to add a little more irony to the series and possibly tip his sanity scale. Then a 3rd season where Saji goes berserk, wears a mask and vows to ‘change the world’ except only this time it should be made clear that ‘change’ in the 00 series is synonymous with ‘i don’t really know wtf i’m doing, i’m listening to that guy’
Seriously hasn’t this series waffled long enough? I’m hoping for some redeeming finale episodes so I can say to myself “i haven’t wasted my time over these months”
Whilst there’s great animation and production values (as expected for Sunrise’s pet series) why is it so lacking? Lackluster story and fight choreography… I could probably name more things, but so can everyone else.
Wow, this one’s got a lot of nekkid manservice! (though i’m kinda disappointed you didn’t screencap any. we’re not all guys here, y’know) I remember way back someone once wrote against the rayearth oav why the girls had to pilot their ‘bots in their birthday suits, i kinda thought what if Gundam was that way….
in a way i was hoping for bushie bob and rug head to cross their swords, just to balance the craving for yuri power on this thread. to quote soyachange, “BELIEVE IN CHANGE and anything is possible!”
oops, rapid fangirl alert. my bad.
Still trying to find an excuse to downgrade Jihad-kun I see. I’am beginning to see things in 00. Louis -> Stellar + big mobile armor/suit. Jihad-kun -> Kira.
hah, ribbons’ newtype racket has been busted when setsuna revealed you get the results without the painfull expensive high risk proceedure, revive just realised that he’d been duped
a couple things i must pick at with nena this ep, firstly, love the logic you displayed, you don’t like wang cos she briefly sided with the people who killed your dear brothers, so what do you do, you side with the people who killed your brothers in order to kill her, right. amazing logic there
plus way to show your gratitude considering wang took you in, gave you a roof over your head, 3 meals a day, fancy clothes, etc etc, and shooting your host(s) up is how you thank them. death was too good for you nena.
and louise, dear oh dear louise, you have sunk so far it’s impossible to describe, immediately after ripping your arch nemesis apart in Qubeley mkII you revert to a child and start demanding praise from your dead parents like a brat? yeah, no doubt about it, ribbons will get rid of her once she becomes useless, like he does with everything else.
i can sympathise with wang in regards to her brother, as would anyone who has a sibling that never pulls their weight and just sits around dithering over every possibly thing without thinking for themselves.
Uh, this blog’s take on Gundam blogging is getting more stale every time, anyone else think so ? Just take your pills already, and stop it with the stupid Alladin song, will ya ? I doubt anyone is still amused by it. I must say that your Gundam posts starting from season 2 contain 00 bits of actual interesting information. Geez.
Oh god, louise took the bloody mess perk.
Death of two hot chicks(one not so much anymore)in a single episode? Sunrise really hate their wimminz.
Man finally some people actually died. Now all they gotta do is actually kill off some important people and then we’ll get somewhere. Also Lyle is a TK’ing bitch (pardon my language) trying to shoot Setsuna in the back like that, if anything shoot him in the face. On a last and final note that ending scene when Setsuna was going all hentai rapist on bushido Bob and trying to seduce him, you should’ve added that.
@Karry
Yeah, well it’s not like his posts were completely able to immerse you to begin with. And Crusader isn’t one to rage when everyone else on the internet is due to 00 S2 being as big of a fail as Macross Frontier almost. I mean, if it weren’t for the HD/Color Palettes/Hotchix/Robots, you bet your ass this show would be just as badly rated and ignored as Tytania.
I mean, lawl. Two innovators getting insta-gibbed yet somehow making it out alive AND not being captured or shot down. Another borefest with Bob. 3 people die in ways that make you go . so yeah……….
At this point, I’m thinking opposite of everyone else and I’d rather have Ali not take part in jack squat just so Sunrise won’t fuck up his legendary appearances. The fight choreograph is so bad at this point I’d rather take Frontier’s recycled trash scenes. I mean, god damn. Gundam 00 a budget show, WHO KNEW?
Best part of this show was definitely the TALKING. And I mean Wang talking about herself and stuff, and then Nena with the LOL STUPID BITCH from Ribbons. Like, at first glance, yes the things are completely stupid. But think of it this way, if we ignore the fact that Wang in this episode is the subject of LOLURDUMB because well, pretty much 99% of the characters in this show ALWAYS do something that warrants LOLURDUMB, then she’s pretty wise. I mean, assuming Innovators last THAT long, that’s pretty much the best chance she had. Granted she was an idiot, but she still tried instead of doing something wasteful. E for Effort you know? Hong Long ruined it with his inability to be magically infused with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris abilities despite zero gravity making it even easier for him to use the damn window as a spring. Nena gives a very generic speech that sadly beats out meaningless crap that CB says like SAJI HEADING OUT or BLAH BLAH BLAH crap that we all know we CAN’T REMEMBER CAUSE IT’S SO GENERIC. Ironically, it’s her dumb Shonen series style fate that she must TALK and not THINK therefore getting Ribbons to screw her over.
I mean, REALLY, at this point, the character who’s made the LEAST dumbass mistakes is a tie between Ian and Linda. Second place is a tie between Prince Ali and Ribbons making single digit errors such as DUR ILL TALK WHILE DOING NOTHING AND LET THIS GUNDAM BLINDSIGHT ME or DUR IM ALMIGHTY BUT I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THAT SUPER 00 CAN BEAT MY FORCES…..
And yes, Ian and Linda are by FAR the most professional. They DO their job, they don’t do stupid things that cost their side a loss, they don’t SAY stupid things (AKA SIDE CHARACTER ADVANTAGE), and hell they just don’t SHOW UP THAT OFTEN making it REAL HARD TO SCREW THINGS UP.
If Bobby from Frontier was in this show, he’d take #1 because he’d be the only guy who contributes, but as a minor character doesn’t make retarded mistakes, AND has an epic ability to make a ship WHEEL control the ENTIRE MOVEMENTS of a giant robot. That’s a plus point right there. It’s like playing a MMO with a Racing Wheel. HOW2PLAY?
See? Everyone can complain about how bad this damn show is. Because it’s not like R2, it’s NOT beyond reproach. Like WTF was with the upgrade to Masurao? MAGIC upgrade with ZERO REASONS after ONE FRIGGIN BATTLE. We gonna get the RAINBOW COLORED version by episode 26?
I liked that episode, wanted those two bitches dead for a LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time.Could have gone for more dismemberment and screaming but it will have to suffice.
@Nazarielle
I hope they meet an unfortunate accident on the way to space. Also it sounds like B-Movie sci-fi…
@soyahoney
I hope Louise will be more rebellious in the future.
Oddly enough becoming an innovator means giving up your manhood, just ask Tieria.
So far we are at four dead Chinamen…I am seeing a pattern here…
@lubczyk
Sunrise fears the fan backlash of staying faithful to Tomino, Mwu was only the beginning now they fear to even kill off one as useless as Yellow an Lasse.
@Kabitzin
Three Haros for the U.C.-kings under the sky,
Seven for the F.C.-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for the stupid Meer doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Ribbons where the Shadows lie.
One Haro to rule them all, One Haro to find them,
One Haro to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Ribbons where the Shadows lie.
We all know Klaus is such a poser he tried to intimidate Steve Jobs with terror bombings to promote his version DRM. As such Klaus has the crappiest mp3 players, it’s not even a Zune!
@SDS
If they do kill off Saji it will be one of the better decisions they have made in the entire run.
I expect a lot of WTF to go down, at least we can hope for Nu Gundam 00.
@uruMIE
You get plenty of nekkid manservice IRL…I reserve the right to not post any more. CAN”T UNSEE THE GOGGLES THEY DO NOTHING!
@infinite07
Until Jihad-kun stops running around the ED with a bayonet fixed he will always be a loser in my book. Besides how can that tawt compare to Bushido Bob who lives the otaku dream…
Damn am I the only one holding out hope that Louise will buck the trend and got Gato on us?
@blind_dead_mcjones
Nena has always been dumb who asks for sweets while Wild Bear his holding a grand hunt for you? Wang was just as dumb as her motivation, I suppose idiot magnetism really is the glue that hold CB together…
Don’t be so hard on Louise, at least she wasn’t calling out for Saji. Let us hope that Louise will kill Saji to earn praise from her dead parents.
@Karry
So i herd u liek mudkipz
@triggerhappypilot
Eh…it could have been bloodier.
@Shin
Indeed women never seem long for the world in these new AU series.
@TorontoSyrup
No Weeaboo Bob does teh raeping. Let’s not forget how Jihad-kun always has Saji behind him…
@D=
I am hoping that since the disposables are the first to go that Linda will not be long for the world. I say we ratchet up the tragedy by having Prince Ali slay a whole family named Vashti.
@Zentari
Indeed this Sunday time slot is crap, should have been more bloody and we should have seen Hong Long pwned face.
Uho, look at what my QC eye has caught in this post!
>I see Prine Ali’s memento has made you powerful…
>Damn now which one ot get first…
Also this episode owned. We got rid of two annoying bitches and then we had lots of “SHOUNEN!” and bossing Andrei around like the useless faggot he is. Then we had Susanoo skating on an abandoned colony and NAKED TIME. We also learned Mr. Bushido’s TRUE IDENTITY.
This is everything I wanted this episode to be.
Don’t know what’s worse…
- Louise acting like a kid after killing Nena.
- Setsuna and Graham in an alternate reality while being naked.
- Setsuna showing signs of being an Innovator
Not sure on how to take three deaths at once… I mean, Wang and Hong didn’t do anything much for the meantime. Maybe Nena too. And dang, where the heck’s Billy?
Healing and Revive deserve a mercy killing now… it’s simply too embarrassing for those two to live. On second thought maybe they can go join Patrick’s club if Revive can find Kati.
It’s not enough that they make the 00-Raiser so overpowered, but then they just had to make Setsuna into a super-pilot… Bushido Bob still looks totally inadequate to take Setsuna on despite repainting his MS so it looks like a police cruiser. At least he stopped Saji for a speeding ticket lol. So when is the Nu 00-Raiser going to appear again?
@uruMIE
soyachange? I LOVE that nickname. I might use it next time. ^^ Great to know, there are other girls around here.
My last comment is, can someone just shoot Marina already? She does nothing! Lacus was 10x better and she even piloted a ship in an awesome wardrobe. I bet you, if Marina was dead, Setsuna would definately BECOME GUNDAM and lose his manhood after the transition to Innovator. Now that is CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
Sorry for the bashing. Lastly, I was hoping for Bushido to add some euphemisms with his encounter of Setsuna. The nekkid manservice was fine. I didn’t need anymore. If I saw more, I wouldn’t be able to watch the next episode.
Until next time, Yuri Powers ACTIVATE!
@Crusader:
I really don’t believe this but do you think that this is a trainwreck, already no show has never been a trainwreck. Are people being too calious for calling the same crap at always but all of this is seemed getting off at hand in anime. But I’m not worried, I care most about the excitement that has given to this series.
“Damn am I the only one holding out hope that Louise will buck the trend and got Gato on us?”
Maybe not. Goodman’s death is somewhat imminent. Most likely to happen next episode. After next episode, maybe Ali will appear on Episode 23 and will be intercepted by Tieria.
Double post: I think you should add Innovator Wannabe (or something worse) in Jihad-kun’s notes in the board due to recent progression in the anime and if you really hate him.
@Eej
Is it so wrong of me to wish that Bob had handed Jihad-kun and Saji their collective asses? I think we got off easy they could have included Saji…
@Ominae
If we are lucky Billy will meet his end for not giving Prince Ali a new mobile suit in time…
@TJ
If we are lucky Nu Gundam 00 Raiser will show up soon once Ribbons has had enough of this shit.
@Highman
Depends on how they handle the end really.
@infinite07
If so then Tieria will be the first to fall as Prince Ali guts him.
@ crusader
Louise will only be redeemed in my eyes when she reduces the traitor ribbons to a mere stain on the side of her Qubeley MkII, for it is he that orchestrated the murder of her family via nena so that she would hate Gundam and be more malleable, as well as giving him access to her family’s fortune.
I was hoping for more comments like:
“Sup Bitch, Ready for Round 2?”
when Nena learned that Soma’s Love doll showed up in the chocolate metal starfish.
@soyahoney,
haha, sorry, my bad again XD and yup, at least Lacus did CE a lot of good by piloting the Infinite Justice, commanding the Eternal, and doing a ‘Fields of hope’ video.
@crusader
actually, what i really like is the captions you write for a certain scene. these blog entries are like a dvd commentary… only funnier. =)
anyway, anybody wonder that since the innovators are in pairs, who is supposed to be diaper head’s genetic twin? is it princess poverty… the weeping willow… or will they be mandated to clone jihad kun? The horror! Just a thought.
That’s three girls in two episodes, Sunrise. Way to go…
If there is any justice left in this show, Saji should be next.
What exactly does Saji do in the 00 Raiser? As soon as they dock (which is essentially as soon as they launch), Setsuna takes the controls away from Saji. Is it possible that 00 Raiser does not have an autopilot/autodock mode? Shouldn’t the 00 Raiser just have its own Haro and ditch Saji?
Most importantly, I want to see Haro in the next naked GNjutsu scene! Not giving Haro any fairy dust is discrimination.
@Kabitzin
Saji’s presence is required to unlock the power of the 00-Raiser Reacharound Powerup.
I noticed that the Purple Haro somehow survived the explosion. I wonder who will take it.
I forgot to post that you can see Purple Haro on this image. To the center left. http://www.thatanimeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/snapshot20090301195812.jpg
You gotta be shitting me. Wow infinite07, you found the most HILARIOUS thing of all time.
This series OFFICIALLY is troll material.
Yep, now I’m just gonna watch this crap the same way Eej and Crusader does. GOOOO BOB!
And yes Crusader, if Ali kills the Vashti family, he offsets his own mistakes of yapping his awesome voice too much and getting owned in combat aka countering his plot hole losses. Of course, on the slight slight slight off chance that he survives like Yazan, he will succeed Yazan as Gundam’s greatest bad ass.
But yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………Haro is STRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Maybe it’s just rubbery and kinda just got knocked off during the impale? Kinda like how it’s completely unscathed though.
Woah wait a second, that would mean Dark Amuro’s ultimate revenge Gundam will be the Haro-Nu v.O
Giant….ball….with funnel balls…in space…..ALRIGHT!
NO MORE SEED NAKEDNESS DAMMIT!
@blind_dead_mcjones
I think Jihad-kun will try to be cool and take on Ribbons in Nu Gundam 00 Raiser, the best Louise can hope for is taking out Marina and the kids, that comrade would be a service to us all in an even bigger way. Kudos if she uses Saji’s escape ball to bust the bridge of the Kataron Flagship.
@Had_Weltall
At least it was a fatality.
@uruMIE
One day i hope that there will be a Mystery Science Theater 3000 for gundamu animu.
@Narrator 1
Sadly the writing staff supports terrorism, there will be no justice Saji will live so that Jihad-kun might fly off with him. we can only hope right smack into the sun.
@Kabitzin
Saji fucks Jihad-kun in the ass and then gives him a reach around for the biggest game breaking hacks in Gundam 00.
They to emphasize the docking quite a bit.
@infinite07
Louise has found a new friend me thinks…
Evil Haro can beat up Red Haro for sure.
@D=
Evil Haro isn’t some CB knock off by Vashitty Industries, it was built by Ribbons himself…
One Haro to rule them all, One Haro to find them,
One Haro to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
@D.J
I doubt it will ever stop the staff is obviously gei for Jihad-kun.
With the ungodly amount of plot armor that the Haros pack, I’m surprised that no one has thought of going around pWning everyone in an MA-sized Haro by now. I’d bet even 00-Raiser can’t stand up to THAT.

Kind of like in Endless Waltz, sending the Gundams into the sun to get destroyed, except in this case Setsuna stupidly decides to send the suit off himself.
@infinite07
Who will take the Haro?
Louise/ Probably would give it to Ribbons and he could talk to it or control it and talk to himself (probably boring)
Setsuna/ He might be able to get a little information out of it for CB, or he can present it to Marina as a gift, kind of like Athrun and lacus.
(conversation:
Setsuna: Marina, here.
Marina: Oh thanks. it’s cute-
E. Haro: Your role has come to an End
Marina: -evil)
Graham/ he would let Billy take a look at it, Another Masuro Custom! probably a little much.
And
Andrei/ He would probably talk to it about wanting louise to like him and the E. Haro could insult him. (Which would be awesome.)
Are any of these mobile suit pilots ever going to realize that a giant odd looking face mask is a lot more noticeable than any scar.
The best part of this episode is Louise: “Mama…, papa……”
The second best part of this episode is Ribbons – bad Haro.
Wang reason was stupid. If she didn’t want to be a head of her family, she could refuse.
That’s some pretty shallow thought right there lilu.
Not only was her reason stupid, but her entire character is stupid and was basically a waste of some poor animators time.
Normally, I’d say fanservice was never a waste of time, but I have to agree with you here. Two-timing for the sake of two-timing never turns out well. Unless you’re awesome about it. Which Little Miss Jailbait definitely wasn’t.
@Ascaloth
If only they replaced Jihad-kun with a Haro.
@treizer
Hopefully Jihad-kun will take Saji along for the ride.
@Salyu
No I don’t think they ever will.
@lilu
Only Louise has family values.
@D.J
Yeah she was a disappointment, they could have killed her off sooner and it would have hardly made a difference.
@Narrator 1
So much for every one those thought she was last boss material…she wasn’t even a mid boss.
Well with four episodes to go, they’ll need to do a lot to turn this damned series around, not to mention Ali is going to have to off an incredibly long list of people for that to happen:
Must kill: Lyle – I think episode 20 is self-explanatory
Side kill: Ribbons – The contradictory BS this guy spills tops any Gundam villain
Quest kill: Gundam Meisters + Celestial Being – Meh… They won’t be missing much
Pity kill: Mr Bushido – Well he won’t have any living purpose if CB is dead
Optional kill*: Louise – Just let the girl join her parents
Requisite kill: Saji – If *
Lesson kill: Marie/Soma – Its time to show her killing can’t bring back the dead
Bonus kill: Haptism – Two for the price of one, no other character offers this!
Karma kill: Andrei – I don’t like my dad but I don’t go out and kill him
Easy kill: Katharon – They’re in this series for this reason no?
Free kill: Marina – Will she sing? Will it work?
Why not kill: ???? – Kill as much as you need to raise audience interest levels!
Well that’s quite a long list. But I’m sure if they knocked all these guys off in the next or so episode which the plot of the series comes together (estimate: episode 112) Gundam 00 will be a much talked series for the coming century. Otherwise it will become a much less talked-about series. Tough choice. Cigarette anyone?
