New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop (2010 Novel)

[IkuzeMinna]

Ah, so that was it. I did understand that Dorothy got under their skin somehow, but I wasn't sure what exactly ticked them off. Thanks for the input Tendou.

And I don't know if Dorothy is worse than before. I find all the stuff she pulled on Libra to be way worse than trying to off a Zechs knock-off minus Gundam who pops up randomly and throws tea parties. I dunno, I'd shoot Relena too, if only for the silly plot and drama.

Heck, Dorothy is probably just jealous that Relena is still young. She did make her hologram look like her younger self after all (if I'm not mistaken).

Damn... That's just mean Dorothy... By those standards, she should have said it to Quatre himself as well. But props to Trowa 2.0 for the apple tossing.

So, is Deacon still doing Glory? I haven't seen/heard anything on that.

Spoiler for for Elo "continuing to beat the dead horse":

However, as Treize's self-sacrifice at the end of the Eve Wars alone proved, he was very much of aware of his role in the AC universe and how he could shape it with his actions. No matter how deep his feelings truly were for Une, he wasn't going to go of-course just to protect her and lose sight of the bigger picture. However, he did implore Zechs (who had severed ties from him) to save her. To say he didn't seem "bothered" after Une is shot is a bad assumption because there simply wasn't a scene involving him receiving the news. We only see him a few episodes later on his way to exile. However, he reminisces about her in the same episode, holds up two pictures of her and refers to her as his "beloved" and "love". Pretty explicit declarations in my opinion.

Moving on to Duo and Hilde, like your opinion on Treize's reaction to Une being shot, you're assuming that Duo never thought of Hilde when he was away. Based on what he know about them, I'd say it's a poor assumption. Heero and Relena are obviously the primary characters in the series. Just because we weren't treated to moments of Duo longingly uttering Hilde's name doesn't mean he never thought ofher. He went from being on opposite sides of the conflict with a girl to living with her within the span of a couple of months. Their relationship was deeper than Duo simply having no one else to settle down with.

Ya... my argument with Une and Traize is super weak. I really can't say anything.

As far as Duo and Hilde go, I know that Relena and Heero are the primary characters and thus get everything (or just about everything) shown whereas everyone else gets a scene or a sentence. But you get nothing between Duo and Hilde. Trowa gets a few scenes where he's thinking about Cathrine and her relative safety. As a character, he was given some screen time to show his relationship/bond/concern towards his adoptive sister. Noin shows tons of concern over Zechs throughout the whole series. Duo shows nothing... other then anger about her getting herself hurt. He doesn't have to whisper her name in a passing moment or wonder what she's doing right now. But he showed nothing. He shows nothing towards her when he interacts with her. She's just there... like a friend your doing business with. Again, this is all my interpretation.

Yes, I finally ordered Glory 5... ugh, killed my wallet :/

Spoiler for Can't let it die...:

Fair enough.

Gotta disagree again. Firstly, I wouldn't compare the full dynamics of their relationship to others the way you have. Both Noin and Catherine had been introduced by Episode 4 and we saw them interact with the Zechs and Torwa respectively for the remainder of the series. When you consider Hilde didn't make her debut till Episode 23 and wasn't seen again for another 9 episodes, the series didn't allow for a lot of focus on Duo and Hilde's relationship.

That said, a lot still transpired between them and Duo clearly showed something towards Hilde. Beyond their initial meeting, which was full of notable moments (like Duo separating his Leo from Hilde's so only he would get hit with blasts from the OZ shuttle), take his longing look at Hilde as she's running away after he met with the parts dealer in Episode 32. The creators wouldn't have added that if they weren't trying to convey something.

That Duo lived with Hilde alone is a testament to their bond. Of all the places he could have gone to after escaping from the Lunar Base, why did he settle down with her? It would have made infinitely more sense to lay low solo but he instead chose to stick with someone he had met once, when they were on opposite sides of the conflict.

Regarding when Hilde was attacked by the souped-up mobile dolls, Duo clearly showed more than just angry that she had put herself in harm's way. The guy was obviously concerned, especially after hearing her distress call (photo evidence).

Obviously, we're all entitled to our opinions and interpretations but I think the bond between Duo and Hilde being deeper than casual friendship was relatively clear.

Much appreciated, man.

Hi, I'm new here.
I'm a fan of Gundam, Especially Gundam Wing

I know this topic is about Frozen Teardrops, But today when I was watching Ep 37
I noticed something strange, First let me show you the photo:

Spoiler for The Photo:

The strange thing is: Why didn't Tubarov do anything to Sedici who was wearing the old - Terize - OZ uniform?
In other words: Why was Sedici was wearing that uniform when everyone in OZ replace it with the new uniform?

[IkuzeMinna]

Is Sedici wearing an old uniform? To me it looks like a black variation of Zechs' uniform. In other words, nothing that suggests he belongs to the Treize faction.

[He00Ro]

Well, This is a possibility I haven't thought of. But his comrades who arrested Tubarov said to the last that they were known as Treize faction

[IkuzeMinna]

Indeed. But remember that in the beginning White Fang consisted of both angry colonists and Treize loyalists, who all hated Romefeller. Once Treize took Queen Relena's position though, the Treize faction members switched sides (because fighting against the guy to whom they pledged their loyalty would be kinda awkward).

From what I see Sedici is hanging out with Quinze, so I believe he is an angry colonist rather than a Treize loyalist. Then again, who knows, they guy was blown to dust by Barge before Treize officially became Earth's ruler, so he might have turned out to be loyal to him..? Doubt it though.

Well, hope that clears up some confusion.

[He00Ro]

The main concern to me was the color of the uniform and after you told me that it was the same version of Zechs's uniform and not a normal uniform everything get cleared. As for the other things, I was aware of it

[Deacon Blues]

Oh goodie. The second Gundam Wing boxed set is gonna have a picture drama of Frozen Teardrop. Yaushi Aoki is going to direct it. Original cast will be brought back it seems.

We're doomed.

FT anime? Count me in

[He00Ro]

I saw the picture of FT, But I didn't see any news about turn it to anime. Is this official or just expectations?

[gordol]

speculation since 2015 is the 20th anniversary of Wing and FT was made as means to make a sequel to EW.

[Tendou Souji]

I was wondering what 2Ch was going crazy over. The FT threads over there blew up recently. They were talking voice actors and tons of stuff about Quatre and Relena.

[IkuzeMinna]

Meh. Here I was hoping they would animate a few battles, but I guess hearing the cast assembled again is something, too. And the pictures have always been pretty, so...

...

Can't we get a short animated clip of the Corsica battle from GoL instead? Even if it's just thirty seconds, I'd take that over FT pic dramas any day.

[Tendou Souji]

Maybe we'll finally get designs for the older characters and some suits?

[gordol]

Late 2015 when they release MG Snow White

[Tendou Souji]

2015 is the most obvious time to drop the stuff but how can we do a picture drama without the characters? The older cast is around a whole lot so some of them should be revealed. Especially if they do the beginning of the novel starting with Heero being awoken.

[Aldaeus]

I'm just gonna say this now... if this picture drama is half as bad as the plot of the novel, it will be terrible. If it is an exact carbon copy of the novel it will be an abomination.

They pretty much need to scrap the story that was written save for the characters and start over. The only way they can really make it work is if they scrap all of the prelude to wing (TV series) stuff, and just do things relating to the Mars plot.

Sedici was among the angry colonists. Remember, his mother, Artimis Sedici, led a rebellion against OZ.

Couldn't agree more.

Regarding what Aldaeus wrote, I actually loved most of FT's background story. It fleshed out the AC universe as well as a number of central characters rather well. While the picture drama will likely be focused on the Mars plot, I wouldn't mind if some flashbacks were included.
