[Nayrael]

WHAT IS THAT?! I demand pics like from the former tread!!!

[Rob`]

boycott this thread untill nayraels demands are met !

[RAGING BONER]

agreed ^

[Aeon]

Seems it's almost time. :hmm

[SilentBobX]

Coup d'etat makes kids cry! XD

[Aeon]

Well that was one long speech. I wonder what he was saying.

[Aeon]

People really liked to sit and talk on benches in the past, didn't they?

[SilentBobX]

Man, where's that Setsuna VS. MR. Bushido fight?

[Aeon]

Yeah, this sucks. I want to see the fight as well.

[Moon Light]

Darn the A-Laws just killing innocent people... :mad

[Aeon]

I didn't expect A-Laws to attack so quickly.

[SilentBobX]

Man, A-laws, have good film editors!

DAMN! 'BOUT TIME SETS'!

[Aeon]

So they're using propaganda now? I can't believe they did that.

[Aeon]

Aw, damn them. Why did they have to interfere? :mad

[Masurao]

Aw, damn them. Why did they have to interfere? :mad

Let me guess.....Graham and Setsuna's battle got interrupted?

[Aeon]

Yup, after making us wait almost the entire episode, when they finally showed it, it lasted but about 2 minutes before being interrupted by the other Gundams.

[Graham Aker]

Well what a disappointing fight. :facepalm

I think it would have been better if the staff didn't write in the fight at all, it ruined the episode for me.
I guess Mister vs. Setsuna won't happen until the finale. At any rate, I'm setting my expectations absurdly low from this point forward, when it comes to those two.

A-LAWS is brutal. Loving Goodman though, hehehe. He's a pretty nasty fatty. :LOS
And it looks like they're going to blow up one of the space elevators. Not to worry though since A-LAWS pretty much control ALL information and can just have the coup members take all the blame.
Sergei/Andrei back story was also interesting, can't wait to see more of it next ep.

[Aeon]

Also, the introduction of another Memento Mori. :facepalm

[Masurao]

Yup, after making us wait almost the entire episode, when they finally showed it, it lasted but about 2 minutes before being interrupted by the other Gundams.

Lol, figures. Damn you Sunrise.

Oh, well...I'm still looking forward to watching the episode tomorrow.

[Graham Aker]

MM 2 didn't surprise/bothered me. The A-LAWS and Ribbons were awfully calm when the thing was destroyed. Heck, I'm even expecting more of those encircling the whole planet.

Interesting theory. :hmm

If that proves to be true, they could fire them all at once and pretty much wreck the planet to get everyone into space.

[IchiTenshou]

..well looking forward for the Sub ^^ lol

[Blaze of Glory]

Sorry about the lack of recap images you guys I was sick yesterday :P

Got a sinus infection so I wasn't feeling like my usual self. I'm at a 190% currently. :amuse

I'm so mad I missed the episode yesterday :wth

GODDAMIT! :angry

[Aeon]

If you were expecting an awesome Setsuna, Bushido fight then you didn't miss much. :zaru

[Chrno]

I found the little fight between Setsuna and Trans-graham atleast fun to watch, I expected it to be interrupted or Graham let Setsuna live again anyways.

[Blaze of Glory]

If you were expecting an awesome Setsuna, Bushido fight then you didn't miss much. :zaru

I just saw the episode

I'm incredibly upset over this new development :oh

There is much that could,ve happened in this episode but didn't. :notrust Truly, a dissappointment. Also Memento Mori 2. :zaru What a surprise. :awesome Well, considering this I guess it was alright that I was sick yesterday.

[Tachi67]

I find this episode kind of sucky. Too much talking, need more action, especially the fight between Setsuna and Graham.

[staradderdragoon]

it looks like graham cant last long in the fight. he was bleeding like when he fought in that souped up flag from S1.

[MasterKakuzu]

any online links?

For streaming watch that is.

[MasterKakuzu]

bleh, just watched it RAW, pretty damn gay how it was like a 2 minute fight. The fight was so short a person who prematurely ejaculates takes longer to do so.

[Graham Aker]

Why'd you think that? He retreated in the fight because Tieria and the others were coming, not because he himself was getting drained.

It wasn't even that long.

It was also a pretty lazily made fight. They just had them clashing from far away that all we could see was just the particles blazing in the sky. :apathy

[staradderdragoon]

yeah but he was bleeding because his body still cant handle the speed.

[Ratwedge]

The reason is bleeding is the exact same reason he did when he was piloting the OverFlag. While his Mobile Suit has the ability to match the Gundams in raw performance his suit has no way to nullify the acceleration, or Gee forces. While the Gundams are sufficiently advanced enough to manage the acceleration on their pilots while using Trans-AM, Mr Bushido's MS is unable to and thus placing a huge amount of strain on his body, that is half the attraction of him, hes fighting under stresses that would blackout or redout most pilots while fighting a Gundam.

[son_michael]

episode felt way too fast......dammit I hate A Laws....I hope hercs death isn't in vain:cry I'm assuming sergei will carry on his will and stage another coup de tah in the future or at the very least join forces that oppose A Laws...Perhaps he will join Katharon?



So about 60,000 people escaped from orbital station, I wonder if in latter episodes the truth really will come out....You know I cant help but laugh at louise she thinks she's fighting for peace but in reality she's a mindless drone working under the man who killed her parents:laugh Billy is just like"she dumped me!!, I will give my all for A laws!!:mad" and then there's sergeis son..who knows how awesome hercules is but dosen't stop to think..."maybe he's right? maybe he's doing this for a good reason?"


there all just pathetic fools under Ribbons

[RED MINOTAUR~!]

What a fucking shit episode.

[qks]

If you were expecting an awesome Setsuna, Bushido fight then you didn't miss much. :zaru

isaw lots of people saying that, didnt expect anything other than a few seconds it wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be



next ep shits really going to kick off tho

[Rob`]

im calling this now

those 60000 civilians are dead

also anticlimatic fight or what? =/

[Nayrael]

Unlike most people here, I liked the episode (subbed, f'corse). It is allright to have an actionless episode from time to time IMO.

[Rob`]

it's not the lack of fighting i found dissapointing, i just wish they had thrown the setsuna thing in at the start, i spent the whole time thinking ye ye this is cool but i wanna see setsuna and graham, if we had already passed that bit id have found the plot development more enjoyable

[Logic]

This is one of my favorite episodes.

Now really can people STILL claim A-LAWS is on the up and up? Absolutely not.

[reaperunique]

one doomsday weapon wasn't enough ofcourse....nooo.....they just had to have another one so that they can blow up the tower :notrust

well done Sunrise, another piece of marvelous story telling :zaru

And every story just has to have it's ignorant children, I already know that by the end of the show I'll laugh my ass off with those two.

[Biolink]

Why is it so surprising?

As a matter of fact, theory now is that they would actually need 3 Memento Mori's to control the world. 3 for the amount of Orbital Elevators there are.

Besides that, if you already have 1, why can't the weapon be mass produced, as long as it fits within the A-Laws budget?

Ribbons wasn't even upset that the first one got destroyed. Almost like he was expecting it to be destroyed :wink

[Nayrael]

Thats something every sane villain woul do. How can people expect them to have only one weapon of mass destruction and have almost unlimited budget (they do control almost the entire world, after all).

[The Big G]

I'd say the shit is about to hit the fan next week

[Tempest]

I'd say the shit is about to hit the fan next week

There`s like 9 Episodes/Weeks left, about damn time is all I gotta say! :yell

[Donkey Show]

Considering how large the orbital elevator is let alone the world, you didn't expect them to just have one MM lugging around that orbital track whenever they needed to use it, did you?

[qks]

i expcected a upgraded orbital weapon but i guess another MM is alrite

also did i miss something Sergi is in a tiren toazi, isnt that unit designed for super soliders and people with QBW


n i know a-laws control the media but has nobody really noticed a giant laser blowing a city/country(acnt really rember which one it was) off the map

Yeah I agree, I expected an upgraded MM, for all we know it probably is.

Well, it was stated that Sergei was/is a top Pilot in 00, so it really wouldn`t surprise me he if he were to pilot a Gundam, though it would make me go "wtf, DOES NOT COMPUTE!" cuz it looks weird.

Well the city was blown off the map. Everyone who knew/saw it were either obliterated or are/were associated with the Federation, IE the Federation Army and the A-Laws, oh and Kataron and CB.

[Fubar]

1 is never enough. + the characters have watched enough Gundam to know that they need spares. Great job saving the world from wmd's kira but um we have 3 more.

[kulgan18]

Thats a mighty fine question.
Another one would be, why the hell are people even surprised?.

They have the technology, i would expect they build all the weapons their budget allows them(with it looks pretty unlimited).

Is like expecting the united states or any country to build just one nuclear bomb and thats it.
