gundam 00 season 2 episode 2

This week settles into the old Gundam 00 pace of lots of talk for mains with just a side of action, but fortunately it's not too bad because it clears up a number of things as well as add a whole heap of other problems.

It's nice to know that they had a lot of difficulty getting the two GN Drives to synchronise on the new Gundams, instead of just plonking an extra one on and voila~ (otherwise, why didn't they try it earlier?) This was ultimately solved by Setsuna making sweet talk to his Gundam, hence the moral of the story is - talk to your computer if it crashes on you =D


Gundam 00 powers up for the first time
Saji's still holed up in the punishment room, but they've given him a free pink Haro for him to access the internet, during which he discovers that the Thrones Gundam (which killed Louise's family) is different from CB Gundam, and a gradual and inevitable change of heart begins..............

Apart from talking Lyle into Celestial Beings, Setsuna also descended upon Sumeragi, who's been enjoying her years off from war by getting herself piss-drunk at Billy's house. As soon as he stepped in the door, he greets her as "Sumeragi Li Noriega, strategist of Celestial Beings." Which leads to the biggest WTF from Billy, as Setsuna then adds, poker-faced, "Now you HAVE to come with me (since you obviously can't stay here any more)."

So Sumeragi gets dragged onto the space elevator by Setsuna, still moaning and whining that she doesn't want to go back to the battlefield, that nothing's changed for the better. She then goes WTF after meeting Lyle, who at first sighs "Gee, do I look that much like my (elder) brother?" (YES YOU DO YOU STUPID PLOT DEVICE YOU) And then corrects Setsuna and introduces himself as "Nope, I'm Lockon Stratos."

Back at the Katalon base, we find out that Lyle had given them some information about CB before he left. Will he continue to work for both organisations?...!

Wang Liumei continues to be a double agent by passing information about the CB's location to A-Laws, and at the same time of A-Laws impending attack to CB. Her motive - "Only warfare will result in change." CB gets attacked at the same time Setsuna et co is trying to get back to ship, and lots of sparkly explosions later, Setsuna now has a new sparkly functional Gundam, Sumeragi has regained some of her cool-headed strategist, and new Lockon is busy being awed by...well, everything.

So after the most glittery battle ever, everyone on CB greets the new Lockon with none other than a group "WTF?!", a reception new Lockon seems pretty happy with. Tieria, still lost around the ship, mutters to himself..."That man is not him!"

For some reason, Marina is now sitting in a dungeon too.

There's a shortened version of the opening theme this time. The ending sequence is a boring sequence of them walking..and walking..and walking. Although it's interesting to note that Tieria is walking in a grassy cemetery (like the one Lockon went to), while new Lockon is walking away from a window.

Although I'd be interested in knowing who this person hiding behind the curtains/wings/white stuff is:


I'd laugh if they're both Lockon XDDDDDDD
