Bingo! He's more of a joke character now since he serves no importance to the plot then being the archrival. In fact he's more like Jerrid in Zeta Gundam (he might die a similar fashion too)

Graham is season 2's Patrick. He serves no real purpose to plot. He will somehow fight Setsuna to a stand still here, disappear for 5 episodes, and come back with a better suit later. It will be Ali's turn to fight Setsuna again. :lmao

No relevance to the plot?

Fools. That sentence seems to be thrown around too freely in the anime community these days. Unless someone is directly related to the overall turn of events and those who manipulate them, they are plot irrelevant.

No, characters are the plot. Mister Bushido is his own fucking plot.

And that's what makes him epic. Because that is his subplot, and whenever he turns up on screen, you know the shit is about to go down.

I could facepalm right now but my head is too sore and the fact that you have a Mister Bushido avatar won't make anything better eitherway, but what the hell, please tell me WHAT HAS MISTER BUSHIDO DONE TO MOVE THE PLOT FORWARD?! What has been done to further develop his character and for god's sake what the hell happened to Graham Aker these past four years to turn him into this masked samurai, and the answer is..........nothing. Honestly he only seems to be there for the sake of having a maskedman in every Gundam series I mean even Rau Le Creuset had plot relevance and regardless how shitty the turn of events became I'll go on a limb and say Neo Roanoke is better than Mister Bushido at this point.

What exactly do you define as plot? That's like asking what Setsuna has done to advance the plot in S2. Nothing, he is the plot. Bushido is a subplot. You're just raging hard because you dislike the character and can't handle the anime not focusing on the big picture the entire time.

Notice how you've failed to answer my question by adding another question in the mix thus proving you yourself have no idea what the hell your talking about. Setsuna along with Celestial Being advances the plot through their interventions whether breaking Allejuah out of the A-LAWS facility or by taking down their doomsday weapon, we've learned a hell of alot more about Setsuna then Mister Bushido (who we still don't know shit about 15 episodes in) and his presence doesn't conceal nothing but his own selfish nature and ego that it's depressing to say the least, he doesn't fight for the world or even his comrades sake just for his own ego and Mister Bushido shares more in common with Jarrid then anything the difference being Jarrid had more development.

Your question was loaded, and wrong. I explained why. You're ignoring my point while simultaneously insulting me. Good job on that.

Setsuna along with Celestial Being advances the plot through their interventions whether breaking Allejuah out of the A-LAWS facility or by taking down their doomsday weapon, we've learned a hell of alot more about Setsuna then Mister Bushido (who we still don't know shit about 15 episodes in) and his presence doesn't conceal nothing but his own selfish nature and ego that it's depressing to say the least, he doesn't fight for the world or even his comrades sake just for his own ego and Mister Bushido shares more in common with Jarrid then anything the difference being Jarrid had more development.

Mister Bushido/Graham along with Union Flag fighters advances the plot through their armed operations whether fighting Gundam Thrones or by Mr Bushido stopping Setsuna from taking down the doomsday weapon. We've learned around the same amount of information on Bushido and Setsuna, ie, some of their past, (We do know shit about Mr Bushido, and we didn't exactly see what Setsuna was doing for 4 years either) and his presence doesn't conceal anything but his own idealist nature or even his comrades sake just for his own Gundam and Setsuna F Seiei shares more in common with Heero than anything the difference being Heero had more development.


You see how easy that was to type out? I could repeat that a 100 times for any character I wanted, but it wouldn't get us anywhere.

First, nice copypasta you manage to fill an entire paragraph without proving a damn point, not only is it hilariously wrong in areas and you obviously need to do some backtracking on the series before you start spouting BS across the board.

was mister there when CB was about to take out the doomsday weapon I don't think so.... I think it was one of the Innovators who was being annoying....didn't it die?

It's true that Graham had relevance in the first season but now, he said it himself,he only wants to fight Setsuna.

IMO the only thing Mister has contributed to this season is having Bill make a nice new toy and annoy setsuna

Ow and every time Setsuna and Mister fought it didn't affect the result of the mission a lot.

Stop being so antagonistic, it makes you look like you want to go post in the Konoha Library.

Why has my fanboyism gotten into the way of an actual argument? Explain, without backing your point you are just spouting off about me.

Yes, it was nice copypasta, yes I didn't prove anything, and yes it was hilariously wrong in areas. That's the entire point of it, you did exactly the same and if you compared the paragraph I obviously parodied of yours, you'd see the similiarities and inconsistencies in your own argument. It seems to have gone over your head.

Answer this without name calling or trying to escape from it, please:
What exactly do you define as plot? That's like asking what Setsuna has done to advance the plot in S2. Nothing, he is the plot. Bushido is a subplot. You're just raging hard because you dislike the character and can't handle the anime not focusing on the big picture the entire time.


You haven't done that here:

Setsuna along with Celestial Being advances the plot through their interventions whether breaking Allejuah out of the A-LAWS facility or by taking down their doomsday weapon, we've learned a hell of alot more about Setsuna then Mister Bushido (who we still don't know shit about 15 episodes in) and his presence doesn't conceal nothing but his own selfish nature and ego that it's depressing to say the least, he doesn't fight for the world or even his comrades sake just for his own ego and Mister Bushido shares more in common with Jarrid then anything the difference being Jarrid had more development.

That's just you describing CB's story and then somehow implying that learning more about a character's backstory automatically moves the current plotline along forward, which is incorrect as you do not need backstory to move the "plot" foward.

I replied by giving an obvious parody, in the same way describing Graham and the Flag Fighter's story, and then telling you we know the same amount of stuff about Graham's backstory as we do Setsuna's - ie, Setsuna was a religious extremist who killed his parents when ordered to do so by Ali, saw the 0 Gundam, and later joined CB. Graham on the other hand, we have learned that he came from a rich family, was an ace pilot, and when he went into a training exercise with his superior, accidently killed him and got promoted leading to his hate of comrades dying and his bad reputation as someone who gets promoted by killing his commanders.

None of that is relevant to plot advancement though, it's backstory enhancement.

You go on to describe Graham's character, again as if it has relevance to what constitutes "plot". That's the point I asked you to address, I asked you to define what plot was, not what Graham's character is.

Why am I being a jackass? Having a different opinion to you is being a jackass? You're the one throwing names around here, pal.

well this is similar to part one of gundam 00, all season the Solar Drive was getting CB out of tight spots and then everyone got it, and CB got trans-am and owned. Now everyone is gonna get Trans-am after being owned by it all season, and CB get the 00-Raiser which is like Mega Trans-am and own some more.... seems a bit repetitive :)

Graham Aker
01-25-2009, 04:49 PM
Only the Innovators, Ali and Louise will probably get Trans-Am. This season has shown that the A-LAWS can defeat Gundams through stategy. Like during the assault on Lagrange 3 where they nearly won if not for the 00 Raiser. Really, 00 Raiser' the only Gundam they need Trans-Am to deal with. And it's most likely that it's going to be the Innovators/Louise who'll fight it. And Mister Bushido of course.

The Empruss can pretty much deal with the rest.

So I guess it's a safe bet they're not really breaking down the raw capability of Gundams in the briefing room or in simulators are they? That was one thing bothered me from last season. Only four Gundams in existence and they never really seemed to have built any tactical scenarios for taking them down. Like "this is what this Gundam does, this is what you should do relative to it in order to win. This is the enemy and this what we're going to do to prepare."

Basically stood around for an entire year without considering the mechanical limitations of their oppenents.

Exatcly noticed how 00 can do the molecular phase out, while The Masuro (SP?) can't. Can keep up in terms of speed but can't molecular phase out from what I can see. Would probably need 2 GN drives. Besides when you think about it this fight was like season's 1 final battle. Setsuna had fight ali and used up particles, also used up particles flying to africa. Didn't refeul and he was in bad shape himself. So one can deduct he was not figthing at his peak. Also on a final note he was rushed. So even though I love Graham. I think it's sensible to say 00 > Masuaro(SP?)

I think you do. Grunts repeatedly did stupid things in the show, using the same failed tactics over and over again. You'd think training would be expanded to encompass the new threat. "Don't fly directly at this one" "Keep away from that one" "This one is probably sitting around somewhere hiding, when it pops up, find him and suppress him" "This one is kind of conventional, so we'll rely on traditional dog-fighting tactics".

You know, tactical stuff that goes beyond simply the operation of their machines.

Overarching strategies are fine, but micro-managing your forces tends to hurt performance, rather than help.

Kati disagrees, and she doesn't like you now.

If they mentioned things like E-Carbon and GN-Particles, it was never in the context of how they would fight against them.

So that's why Sergei used tactical formations against ther thrones why tactical formations and planning to rotate units where used during the first co-operative attempt to capture Gundam's, why Healing Care and Kati planned a means of hurding Ptolemy so when it took off into space Healin could shoot it with the Gadessa's main gun? Hell, with a small force Kati has managed to rountinely make life tough for the Gundam pilots this season, though admittedly they've also begunt rhowing the newest models available to try and stop CB but that's the case with every Gundam.

Only that they were things they didn't have themselves.

x.x What the hell are you talking about now? But I do remember Sergei being the one to originate using the Gundam's mysterious GN particle to use as a means of tracking their movements, and I do recall it being used in the Desert as well.

There's strategy and there's tactics. I don't know where to draw the line. I do know they never bothered to break down each Gundams capabilities and if they did, they didn't do it in the first twenty episodes. Certainly they never seemed to brief pilots on what exactly it was they were dealing with and what would get them killed if they screwed up.

yes they did....they knew tierra's gundam was a wide beam attack gundam and to get him at close range. They knew Allejuah's could transform and had short guns. They knew exia was equiped with blades and 2 beam swords and they knew lockon was the long range sniper


go watch the space battle where sergie tries to capture the gundams and the battle on earth where the gundams were saved by the thrones. They knew everything about Celestial beings gundams

Funny, they sure didn't act like it, with the Flag Fighters, a supposedly elite squadron, getting themselves shot down for doing stupid crap. Especially against largely known and familiar oppenents.

they did know...it was because of that stupid hot shot pilot rushing in that everybody else followed him. The original plan was to stay in formation and execute w/e plan to get lockon, they knew he had long range sniper fire



and Remember patrick? yeah he practically had an entire plan made just for tierra's gundam

Prove it. I'm not giving credit where it isn't due.

I know exactly what you're talking about. You're making assumptions that they were actually briefed on the Gundams. Fine, they're flying in formation. That's supposed to indicate a plan of attack? Maybe they were just flying in formation because that's what they saw in the recruitment films? Or maybe that it simply looked cool to them?

your kidding right?:notrust they were in a formation to take out the sniping gundam but the whole thing was ruined because of an idiot in the ranks




and patrick was obviously briefed on tierra's gundam because as I said he had a whole plan for capturing it
