...Daryl was outstandingly good?

No, seriously, I only ever saw him fight a Gundam twice, and one attempt ended in his death.

But that aside, I like that lesser units can fight the Gundams. I'm just saying that, if Barrack died in episode 2, it wouldn't really have changed anything, and, hey, it would have been perfectly feasible, since the 00 was in monster mode.

Plus I'm sure the A-LAWS have many replacements.

Different kind of reaction from Louise?

Not to mention, if they keep on introduction new face, people will complain about the skills of A-LAWS (Not like they don't right now, but just it'll be more than the current state).

Barrack being killed in this episode could play some sort of role for Louise --- especially seeing as who she meets at the end.

NyxOne · 2008-12-14, 08:41

Well, exactly.

And I suppose people may complain about the skill of the A-LAWS if he died early, but...hey, we had Soma, Bushido and the Innovators to fill the gap.

FUYOOOHHHHH!!!!!

AWESOMEEEEE

that OO light ring at OO Gundam back really cool. its look like a brand new wings.

But the funny tings is look like setsuna piggy back saji

duotiga · 2008-12-14, 08:49

Now i am convince Anew is Innovator spy. When lockon call her, she doesnt seems to respond until slightly later.....

LoweGear · 2008-12-14, 08:52

So apparently there are more letters on the forehead...

Spoiler for 00 Raiser:

"The Crying Game" all over again? (Lockon is Irish after all...)

PS Thank you Saji. Without you, we'd have to see Setsuna nekkid with Ian

LightningZERO · 2008-12-14, 08:57

Just watched the 00 Raiser docking and battle, it doesn't seem too powerful now, but nevertheless very cool. Can't wait to see its true power next week

And thank god for no naked Ian too

Spoiler for 00 Raiser:

Yup. (I noticed first time I watched the ep, though that was HD...)

Also, when the 0 Riser docks, you see the 00's power gauge go 98, 98, "MAX"

So at least he did contribute something, didn't he?

Vallen Chaos Valiant · 2008-12-14, 09:12

About the Newtype thing, I suspect it exists just to allow a shouting match between mobile suits in the last episode, even when both sides don't have the luxury of chatting. How else could you have the classic "beating each other up while throwing insults" element, unless they can hear one another?
(In some ways, that's how the UC Newtype mind link worked too. It's so characters can interact even when they are not suppose to able to communicate normally.)

And we call that character development......

Well, it isn't character development on its own. But it IS necessary at times, as a storytelling tool, in order to HAVE character development.

The Newtype mind-meld allows characters to say what they really feel, even if they might have lied or otherwise refused to talk about what they are thinking in an ordinary setting.

Uhh, I'm not seeing the similarities between 00-Raiser and Strike Freedom at all. For example, one of them does not fight with stock animations of beamspam nor does it completely overpower every single opponent in a 1km radius upon first appearing.

StratoSpear · 2008-12-14, 09:30

Told ya his role with the 0-Raiser will make his meeting with Louise convenient.

Pointers:
- Papa Bear lives!!
- Sudden pop-outs of unnamed CB operatives.
- CB Asteroid base goes KaB00M along with about a handful of operatives.
- Shocked Wang(pretty rare)
- Captain Zinin goes KaB00M as well.... (See Below)
- 00 Rais--- 00 Rampage!
- Louise Fanservice!! H0T!

Eh, always next episode.

LoweGear · 2008-12-14, 09:35

Next episode the 00 Raiser is shown in combat against the Garazzo in Trans-Am with a time limit.

And the 00 doesn't have enough weapons to beam spam on the level as Strike Freedom anyway.

Also, the 00 Raiser's kill count in this episode was... a single Ahead. Not even close to the record of an overpowered debut.

faiz blaster Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008	A few thoughts: Spoiler for random: At first I felt some sympathy for Wang Liu Mei when she made that shocked face at seeing the Memento Mori in action, but when she gave that smile 3 seconds later my hate for her increased tenfold. I admit that there is a possibility that Nena was raped by Ali (she sounded pretty shaken up on that scene with the bruised face), but I am still waiting for confirmation. So OO Raiser does have a time-limit for the Trans-Am. Level of haxx dropped a little just from that... After last week's preview I was looking forward to see Hallelluya's comeback, so I was quite disappointed with his vanishing act after the end of OO's Trans-Am. Am I the only one that is getting bad vibes from this whole Anew/Lockon thing? Saji on action with O Raiser: good to know that his piloting skills are good enough to at least dodge enemy fire. I think we all agree that we DON'T need another Katz! Shame he let Red Halo do all the work after that. *OO Raiser creating artificial Newtypes when on Trans-Am: surprising but with a lack of originality. This is probably going to be used as a plot devise for the sake of character development latter in the series. I predict some SetsunaxSaji scenes going along those lines will show up on the future.
