Well, I'm more for:
what I like > what is canon At least when it comes to fic... Though it looks like Sumisawa's using some bad fic tropes for this. Mini-Duo? Duo Jr.? A duo of Duos? @_@ |

Also, I just read the translations in their entirety and I'm probably wrong but it seems Sally Po is dead. Also, it'll be interesting to see how Dorothy has changed for her to become the president in a time of peace. |

Before adopting Total Pacifism: *Episode 14: When she called out Romefeller on stage. This was during her "Revenge" phase, when she learned that it was Romefeller and OZ who killed both her adoptive and real fathers: Relena: You're all very mistaken. And the Gundams will come to rectify your mistakes. On behalf of those who're trampled by this whitewash! *Episode 16: When she encouraged Heero to kill Zechs before discovering that Zechs was her brother After adopting Total Pacifism: *Episode 29: Relena admits that she's still learning about Total Pacifism *Episode 33: After surviving an assassination attempt by Romefeller, Relena had doubts about Total Pacifism, before Quatre calmed her down: Relena: Maybe "Total Pacifism'' is nothing but nonsense spouted only by those unable to fight. Also forgot to mention that after Quatre calmed Relena down and encouraged her to follow her beliefs, notice that Relena was in a trance-like state. |
Elo: Might be the case. No one asked Cathy "How's your mother?" -_- As for Dorothy, she's my favorite after Relena and making her not awesome is impossible. xD

Dorothy supports herself and what she believes to be good for everyone else from her point of view. Let's just put it that way. ;) I mean she wanted the ultimate war to bring the world to its senses after she lost her father.
In Battlefield of Pacifists, she's openly disappointed about Heero and Relena's reunion not being "passionate" so one can at least say she's perceptive about those two. Strikes me as the sort of person who get up in other people's business a lot. Just look at her appearance in EW Special Edition. |
*pops in* Man, after years and years, I finally make an account here. Oh Wing, what you do to me.
Yikes, what a curve ball. I thought W was long dead and closed. I'm excited at the concept of more, but equally scared. If it's done well it could be brilliant... or it could just read like awful fic. I would hope Sumisawa would do a good job though. To me this looks branched from the EW manga ending. I'm guessing Aurora is Relena and she's cryogenetically frozen for some reason. The fact that Dr. J seems to have made the chamber leads me to believe Heero was in on it. Also, I'm on the boat for the theory that Duo is watching over Heero's kid while daddy is MIA. Though, I think Heero would punch Duo in the face if he knew Duo was calling his son 'Duo' as well. I'm guessing the kid's name of 'Duo' is an alias, which makes me wanna say '1xR' because the kid's name would have been public knowledge were he Relena's kid. Though, we could all be wrong and it's just a repeat of Episode Zero with Duo taking in a streetrat. That would be kinda lame though, Idea reuse much? Also, I'd hate to see Sally dead. She was my favourite female after Relena. Does anyone have scans or transcripts of the whole prologue? In regard to the 'official' status being granted almost exclusively to animated stuff, thus counting out Ground Zero and Blind Target... what of the Blind Target radio drama? I tend to consider bringing on the seiyuu to be a sign of at least semi-canon. President Catalonia... we're all going to die. =X |

I haven't read Battlefield of Pacifists yet(really want to but haven't been able to find it on the net) but that's interesting she wanted Heero and Relena to be a couple. Her appearance in EW was somewhat surreal in my opinion with her having trucks on standby to take the people to Brussels but no one could've "goaded" them to fight like she did. |

A fair payback, not? ;) |

I'd be fine with the 2xH. That's on my list of prefered pairings and it always seemed rather canon-hinted to me. Would Duo be fronting as 'Father Maxwell' then, or did he take vows... are vows taken in Gundam, I wonder... as a priest post-child. Something happen to Hilde? It would be rather annoying if they ditched Sally and Hilde.
Though, the whole wearing a braid thing doesn't automatically make me think it's his kid. I think the 'unpleasant stare' line just has us all going because we haven't heard from Heero yet. haha. Come on guyz, tell us the kid's eye colour~ Is it colbalt, prussian, or light blue? Hahaha. |
Quote:
I'm sure Hilde's fine. If the boy was someone else's son, I think it would have been hinted. |
I guess too many years of catholic church have me going "Priest =/= Having Children".
Eh, who knows. Must be patient and wait for a transcript... must be patient. |

---------- (lol, hi, another migrant from the LJ discussion. o/) Another one here who would really like to see some actual scans, but... Hm... I'm going with either the speculation that "Princess Aurora/Sleeping Beauty" is either Relena or that it's a 1xR daughter, but honestly we don't know enough yet to make much of a leap of faith for any of this. Either way it makes perfect sense to focus the story on the child of the main characters of the series. Duo's kid, I'm assuming he's either masquerading as a priest and it's a 2xH baby or he really is a priest and it's an adopted orphan. Or maybe he and Hilde adopted, who knows! Either way, he's got a really lame pun going with the name. If it's Hilde's I hope she popped on the head for it :P As for Kathy we haven't even heard her speak yet so we still can't say squat about her.... We don't even know her age. Or anyone's age. It's kinda annoying that they gave an arbitrary year without saying exactly how much time has passed ("middle aged" or "elderly" Duo could mean anywhere from 20 to 50 years, after all...) Always knew Dorothy would take over the world. (On the topic of the side mangas, I always considered Blind Target the only- or most- canon one because it was a radio drama... but that's just me. I also have never gotten to read BoP.) |

Middle-aged says 40+ and elderly is more, but since the pilots were all the same age... Oh god, Hilde's become the sister and it's a rewrite of Duo's Episode Zero story. :twitch: Man. I assume if the pilots are like... say 40-45... Then Sally is/would have been about 44-51. I'd peg Kathy at 20ish? Normally I'd peg this new 'Duo' (are we going to have to make up nicknames for them like the multiple Syaorans in Tsubasa?) at about 15 normally. Haha, that'd keep consistent with the Wing ages. The kid struck me as being younger for some reason though. Which doesn't even make sense becaue we barely got a description of him. I'm just going crazy. |
Quote:
I doubt they'll repeat Duo's story XD Though Duo might be lame and do something like that, I doubt Hilde would though. If they were 15 (the Wingkids, I shall dub them), that would be hilarious. And you know what? I bet that's what they're aiming for.... Though you're right, something about him comes off as younger. That he didn't speak, maybe? Or that Duo spoke for him. if he is younger, and this novel is a branch to a sequel, maybe they would intend for them to be 15 in the sequel. Ahhh, speculation... On the idea of that "Duo" being just a codename and Duo's looking after the 1xR kid, though, I just suddenly got this mental image of Heero punching the shit out of Duo for growing his kid's hair out into a stupid braid while he was away >B| |
