Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Discussion & News [Spoilers]

[duckroll]

I can't believe you guys are even arguing about this. Who cares what system it's on, it's a 3D action game by Bec, which means it's going to totally suck by default. :P

[duckroll]

Some tipbits from non-Newtype/Animage magazines from the end of December, and store solicitation whispers:

- Gundam OO blu-ray release scheduled for Summer 2008

Ep titles:
- Ep14: Dawn of Determination, Ep15: Broken Wing, Ep16: Trinity

Mecha designer interview:
- The key point of the second half of the first season will be the appearance of a certain Mobile Suit (not Thrones)
- The Ptolemy was originally designed on paper as a strong battleship
- Exia's design was dictated as "a good Gundam given to a child"

From Official File Vol1:
- Before Lockon joined CB, he was involved in blackmarket dealings
- Allelujah is the thinker, Hallelujah is the fighter in terms of capability
- Allelujah can pilot a MS for a day longer than the other 3 pilots
- The second season will have radical changes in the direction of the story
- The positions of the Gundams will also change by the second season

Interview with Mizushima:
- It is an intentional idea to develop the characters from scratch and watch them grow. You will start by thinking "I don't undersand these characters at all", but upon reflection in October when the second season starts, you'll have a completely different opinion
- The main characters are supposed to be people with "insufficient communication skills"
- Lockon and Allelujah are by design "good people"
- Lockon is a pretty stressed person inside
- Allelujah looks up to Lockon as a wiser and more experienced person
- Tiera has the worst characteristics
- Setsuna is the main character who doesn't speak much
- Patrick will be making a comeback soon


Newtype and Animage details should be surfacing tomorrow, so look forward to more details about the upcoming episodes and the second half of season 1.

So the Throne Gundams will appear in episode 16? Nice

The appearance of a certain MS? The O Gundam!

The positions of Gundams will change in the second seasons? Some Meisters defecting to other factions?

I think what they meant was that the balance of power will shift. It could imply that the Gundams will no longer be the top dogs on the mobile suit food chain come October this year, which will definitely be a massive change in the direction of the series. Good thing Setsuna's improving as a pilot!

[Terra]

Actually I prefer that idea to the pilots defecting. Had enough of people changing sides in GS/GSD. Plus these guys knew what they were getting themselves into, so to see them change sides I wouldn't like so much.

14 決意の朝（MBSの携帯サイトより）

世界規模での大掛かりな軍事演習がけいかくされる中それを自分たちへの挑戦だとわかりつつ、介入作戦を試み るソレスタルビーイングのメンバー達。計画実行までの余暇を楽しむ面々だったが、はしゃぐその表情の裏には 不安の影がぬぐいきれなかった。
各陣営の準備が着々と進む中、ユニオンのグラハムは、正式名称の決まった対ガンダム調査隊に新規で配備され る、カスタムチューンしたフラッグの姿に、高揚感を隠せずにいた。
セルゲイ、ピーリスもまた、立ち並ぶティエレンを前に作戦への決意を改めていた。
母がスペインに帰り落胆するルイスを励まそうと、沙慈は刹那を自分の家に招き入れる。普段の任務とは異なる 弛緩した雰囲気に、馴染めないものを感じる刹那。そこに緊急コールが入り、刹那は飛び出していく。世界を巻 き込んだ最大のミッションが始まろうとしていた。

Hmm...from what I can understand, the 3 superpower decide to perform one huge military exercise (similar with the Moralia situation). Obviously a trap and a challenge to the Celestial Being, the Celestial Being needs to intervene, despite how dangerous it is. Meanwhile, Saji is throwing a party and Setsuna is invited

Found something at chinese wikia, it says that one Throne is piloted by Hong Rong and used to defeat (capture) Gundam Meisters without damaging the Gundams too much, so it's only equipped with one Beam Saber. This is freaking hilarious if it turns out to be true

This has me interested, very interested. Shall we start brainstorming idea's now? (Of course that would be a more suited topic for the future spoiler thread). Shame we have to wait until October though.

You don't even need to ask.

[Terra]

Don't. I see ep 25 ending on a big cliffhanger (well I saw that potentially coming the moment I heard they were splitting the series up into 2 parts). And the potential of what that could be just got a lot bigger. The wait is gonna be a killer.

If anyone defects from Celestial Being, I think it'll be Tieria. He's just too damn stuck up and sneekey.

The new MS? But it would be a waste with piloting skills like his. Unless, he goes through some hardcore training.

[Shadow Angel]

Maybe Patrick could be one of the pilots to the new gundams as for what his comeback may be that will be interesting to see.

[Shiroth]

I dunno, after his past two appearances, i think it's going to be pretty tricky to take him seriously --- that's definitely not the type of image you'd want for a new Gundam. I could be totally wrong though, i mean it would make sense having Patrick as one of the pilots.

[Eidolon Sniper]

What if Patrick is one top secret agent for the CB and it's his job to make a fool of himself so that the entire world will buy the story that Gundams are teh pwn? and that he's the new pilot of the O? OHNOES~~~!!! XD

Ep14 - Dawn of Determination

The meisters learn of a global military exercise that's being arranged. Even though they know it is a trap for Celestial Being, they must intervene.

Ep15 - Broken Wing

The meisters are locked in a fierce battle against almost a thousand mobile suits. In reality, the military exercise is a trap to attempt to capture all four Gundams. As the overwhelming odds stack against their favor the Gundams fine themselves cornered.

Ep16 - Trinity

Alehandro Conner, one of the watchers put in place to survey the intervention of Celestial Being looks back on results of the intervention so far.

Ep17 - Throne Assault

The crew of the Ptolemy are surprised by the appearance of the new mobile suits even they didn't know about. When the three pilots contact the Ptolemy, Sumeragi leads them to the mothership to question their true intentions.

Ep18 - Malicious Target

As the three new mobile suits go forth to destroy and disarm military installations all over the world, Setsuna begins to have doubts about their intervention actions. Meanwhile, Celestial Being's agent Wong Liumei begins her investigation into who they are.

This seems legit, considering quality and art style. The only question is...

Spoiler for Gundam Throne Meisters?:

Spoiler for And also, the Gundam Thrones Drei, in color:

Spoiler:

The girl looks exactly like Wang Liu Mei with red hair.........................NICE! The other two are great designs too. Love the evil looking Haro. XD

The red Thrones Drei is nice, Exceeding what I previous anticipated!

[Selic]

Going by the summaries and the way the three Meisters are dressed... Some super secret group within CB? A faction within CB?

[monster]

Well, if these are true, then:

This could probably be a new record in gundam. Although some battles in Wing or G might still beat it.

It sounds like a recap episode, and I was just beginning to wonder if they would have one.

[LightningZERO]

3 new Meisters? I guess it will be them that save Setsuna and co. from the assaults of 1000 MS. It seems that they maybe some kinda black ops team that do dirty jobs....or they are now taking over Setsuna and co's missions
