Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Discussion & News [Spoilers]

[Lugia_Tsuyu]

マリナ

マリナというキャラは戦うことしか知らない刹那に影響を及ぼす役割を担うために創造した
戦いで変革を起こそうとする刹那と戦わずに変革を起こそうとするマリナ
元々、立場や置かれている状況が違うために二人の出会いのシーンはあまり考えていなかった
刹那にとって「そんな考えもあるのか」と認識するくらい
しかし水島監督が「彼女はヒロインだ！」を公言してしまったためにとんでもなく扱いづかいキャラに（黒田に とって）
刹那に会わせる機会を増やすために貧乏道に突き進む事に（冗談ですが…）
すみません、姫様


恒松要約
一見、儚げですが実はちゃんと強さをもった女性。その強さは目に見えない「優しさ」
00の世界で非戦を貫くのは容易ではない。でも、未来の子供達にとっては必要なもの
演じていてもどかしい時もあるが、それがマリナ。そんな彼女が好きです



クラウス

第２シーズンからカタロン（最初はリビターという名前）を登場させることは決まっていた
クラウスというキャラ造形は水島の意向が大きく反映
個人的には「連邦政府打倒のために手段を選ばない系」にするつもりが「理想に燃える熱血漢」に キャラ変更
今はそうしてよかったと思っている
中東第２支部のリーダーだがヨーロッパ人
だからライルとも親交がある
つまりクラウスというキャラは、理想に燃え、苦境に立たされている中東を見かねてあえて行くこ とを志願した
彼にはその理想を貫いてほしいです

川島要約
どんな困難な状況でも仲間を思い、平和を願うスーパーマン
将来の子供達の暮らす世界を心配し、その実現のために自らを犠牲にするなんてすごい
そんなクラウスを演じることが出来て光栄です



シーリン

理想を追い求める姫様の対となる存在として現実主義者のシーリンが登場
女性の参加を拒まれる中東政治の中で、理想を阻まれ続けた彼女は現実主義者になるしかなかった
だからマリナにも必要以上に辛くあたっていた
しかもCBの武力介入で世界は変わり、故国の危機を救おうと考えたシーリンは、マリナの元を離れてカタロン へ。
彼女は本当に頭がいい。でもそんな彼女にも足りないものが一つあります
その足りないものを視聴者に感じて貰おうと水島と一緒に台詞を吟味し続けた
その「何か」を感じ取っていただければ幸い

根谷要約
マリナの傍にいた時は感情の出し方などわかりづらかったが、回を重ねる毎に距離が近くなったよ うな気がする
クラウスにちょっとだけみせる柔らかい雰囲気はいつもと違って新鮮ですし
芯が強くてまっすぐな女性は大好き！
これから何に気づき、どう変わって、どこを変わらずにいられるのか楽しみです


Can someone translate these? It's from DVD 4 of the second season. It's a character comments on Marina, Kluas, and Shirin.

P.S. Can someone translate what the big, dark blue text in the Setsuna x Marina picture above says?

on jupiter's moons?

[RAVNEN]

Uh..i guess those 5 green light on jupiter is CB orbital station for GN Drive construction.The center one could be deep in Jupiter & act as main command center.Just my theory actually.

Oh i do hope Set & gangs goes to Jupiter.

hrm, but then there must be a reason to go back there right? Just because of 1 (or 2) destroyed GN drives?

probably guessing its going to be more of a prequel.. if i remb correctly, the space stations there all got destroyed or something. the movie can be about what happened during that period?

None of the true GN drive were destroyed. An explicit picture showed that Exia's sword missed the 0 Gundam drive, and that the true GN-drives were inherently protected by some sort of repulsive field.

But I also think that the movie will have to do with the event of the past. Maybe some sort of A.I. went rampant and seized control of the facility and of the last 5 GN-drives that were still on construction.

[Kaioshin Sama]

So alon with Mizushima and Kuroda they've now got Yun Kouga for Anime Expo as well. There's definitely a Gundam 00 theme being built up behind the scenes of this one.

[Kirbyeggs]

if i recall, the special part of GN drives are built in the upper layer of Jupiter's atmosphere and cannot be built anywhere else (as of now) because of that part, which i forget the name, its like something blanket, the "original" GN drives are different from the GN drives made by the UN.

Also i never noticed the 5th light in Jupiter

And i personally think its a sequel just because its said something like "the children of humanity" or something like that during the teaser.

Complete Mission Fanbook summary translation
mike_s_6 has translated the summary of Complete Mission Fanbook (not to be confused with Mission Complete 2307-2312, a different data book). According to smileydays this is where the casual Meisters posters yesterday come from.


How the cover looks like, left.

[] = translator comment

[Most of the stuff in the post are descriptions about the illustrations, titles, etc, I skipped most of them.]

The 4 Meisters' "Friendship Level", a square graph with a max score of 5.

Setsuna
- Gundam = 5
- Marina, Saji and Neil = 4

Lockon
- Anew = 5
- Haro and Neil = 4
- Setsuna = 1

Allelujah
- Marie = 5
- Setsuna and Tieria = 2
- Lyle = 1

Tieria
- Neil = 5
- Setsuna = 4
- Veda = 2 [WAT]
- Lyle = 1

- Colasour was placed in A-Laws in place of Peiries when she was said to have died in action.
- Hallelujah's revival in episode 25 was caused by the Trans-am Burst.
- Louise has retired from the military.

Q: Is the barette Feldt uses in the second season one of Chris' things (that she left after dying)?
A: I don't think so. However she perhaps more or less considered the hairstyle.

Q: Does Tieria associate with any female?
A. Probably not. He only associates with Veda, nothing more.

Various News from Kuroda and Director Mizushima

P94-97 Kuroda's interview. Voice artists' and readers' question and answer portion. [blogger comment] Only those portions that interest me.

- Characters' Names
The significance of Allelujah's name is "blessing" and "baptism". Because I can't talk about Tieria's name significance yet, please anticipate the movie for that. Graham's is "ground" and "acre". The significance denoted in his name is "ground" and "extent".

- The Scenes that moved you
In the first season, it was episode 23. In the second season, episode 25's Exia vs. 0 Gundam. [don't understand the rest]

- Is 00 concluded in the theater version?
My plan is the complete settlement of accounts, but whether or not it will done will be Director Mizushima's call.
If the director would propose one more work, then we will continue.

- Your ideal couple?
I like Allelujah and Marie.

- During audition time, Marina's surname was "Raja-ru[Raczar?]" and it became "Ismail". What are the details to the change?
Upon examination, the name Raja-ru was too noble, so the name Ismail was decided upon by the director.

- The Innovaoids have human form, what is their construction?
They are very close to humans. They are designer babies.
Because they are models and distinction is only by numbers, there are many of them with the same face.
By the way, there are very few combat types within the Innovaoids.

[at this point, I no longer know if I am translating wrong, or I just don't get the point, or the point is not meant to be understood]
- Though it looks like he entered Veda when Tieria lost his body, he more of linked rather than entered.
The point is, his consciousness was only saved in a temporary memory buffer.
It doesn't mean that all Innovaoids can do this.

- Was Regene also able to enter?
Regene was not able to enter. While Regene was linking Tieria, he gave to Tieria the access canceling code. Thereupon, he used it to seal Ribbons out. [I don't get the flow of this sentence. Does it mean that Regene was not able to enter because the access canceling code takes out everyone except for the person who owns it?!]

P98-101 Mizushima's interview. Illustration is Tieria in a cooking attire.
- When the movie was not yet decided, some of the characters including main ones have been planned to die
- The photograph of Billy and Sumeragi in the last episode, called "in memory" of Billy, was taken by Mileina.
- Voice actress Ms. Tsunematsu asked about Marina and Setsuna being married, at this point there are no such plans of drawing such episode. Letting the fans imagine is good.
- The story of the movie has already been decided. Probably all main characters will appear. Of course the main character is Setsuna.

To be honest I'm quite happy that most of the character survive in the S2 end but it seems that it wouldn't the case in the movie........ damn you Mizushima and Kuroda

[LightningZERO]

According interviews, some characters survive the series cause the movie is coming. Probably the movie will be kill them all!!!

[Ardi220288]

I knew it .............

[Patriot's Blade]

deos that mean Mizushima has become the next Tomino?,... or not yet?

the SetsunaXMarina ending part made me HOOLA-HOOLA!
*points at the Patrick & Kathy happily ever after ending*

[LordStrike]

so nice so nice can wait for the movie maybe the Jupiter Essene was just a flash back or something O_O imagine that.

[Atlantis_Lux]

How come that Tieria has only a level 2 friendship with Veda!? No way!!

Well, thank you for the info!

[RedWing]

It seems like the events that occurred around Veda STILL haven't been resolved in a way people can actually friggin understand. So much for great storytelling.

[Papaya]

Let fans decide if Marina+Setsuna get married = Setsuna and Marina both survive, zzz.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Aw, come on man, give us a hint as to who is the foe in the movie!

It has to be Ribbons...it just HAS TO BE.
