I have an idea, my only basis is that they have done it in other Gundam timelines.
She is his clone, that way you can say they are sibling in a sense, the sci fi sense. But she could also been one of Quatre's many test tube sisters who was late to the game so to speak.

Regardless, thank you for putting up the pictures, Relena looks very pretty and badass....well pretty badass/badass pretty something like that.

I'm liking this idea of bringing more girls into the action so to speak with now currently two girls as potential gundam pilots, and Relena playing the role of the Char expy, without the hair color, (lest she dyed it, effect of brainwashing i presume). It is refreshing to see pilots that are girls and not be regulated to supporting or recurring status in the male centric genre. Not that there is a dearth of girl pilots in the Gundam series, just not as many as the male pilots.

Oh yeah, so did anyone else notice this in the new GotD chapter?



Is there a bar passing through that lion's head!? XDD

Agreed on the girls getting in on the action. I'm pretty sure Relena's hair hasn't changed though, guys, it's just slightly different coloring and the printing quality of the magazine... >.>

Perhaps the meaning of existence lies within their will to fight.
People feel a sense of accomplishment through battle.

Assuming anyone from the Long Clan is still alive.

Thanks a lot for the GotD chapter Peacecraft!

Maybe that lion is Aslan.

I'm looking forward to reading the translated version of Howard's flashback.

See, that's the thing. They were supposed to have all perished when they detonated their colony, but (IF you're counting it) BT showed Wufei with a group of what appeared to be at least Long clan descendants or relations (they were calling him Master, after all, and he was an heir...)
It's also an easy asspull for Sumisawa to make, if he wants to. XD

Same on the Howard flashback! That's new. :0

Eh, his flashback isn't anything major.

At any rate, MC stands for Mars Century, for those interested.

The beginning starts with a "MC File" from Dorothy circa AC-195. Then a flash back to MC-0021...

Good lord there are oodles of tidbits here...

- So Relena City is located on Elysium Island, situated along the Martian equator.
- Lady Une is a Presidential Aide
- Sylvia Noventa is an Ambassador
- Doctor T. Trowa it ain't. Triton it is. (I'll spell out the scene later)
- Zechs scene explained a bit more...

It's not European. It's from Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. I called it Europan because "algae from Europa" was cumbersome. And yea, there's a section on it. I'll return to it shortly

Mars has mobile suits, but they're referred to as "Mars TerraFormers"

Sumisawa: Just as planned?

Really glad to see Une back in action! Sylvia Noventa wtf that's random...

Very interested to hear about Triton vs Trowa. Is that to say Dokter T is not the Gundam pilot Trowa Barton?

Either that or its a confirmation that Trowa = Triton and he now knows.

The blurb at the beginning says Doktor T is Trowa Barton... but this convo was weird. So much to dissect. I'm too busy photoshopping the final image together

Veeery interesting. I suppose we'll have to wait and see when you post the translation/summary

@Obsidiandagger Yes.

@TendouSouji Not Deacon but... the blogs I've been looking at don't seem to be exploding with anger, and there's been plenty of apparent positive reaction in art and cosplay, so from what I can tell, fairly well?

Oh thanks, I didn't see it when I scanned through so I thought I'd put it up.

And on the discussion of if Kathy is to be Wu Fei's replacement since we are only so far into the novel I think Sumisawa might give us a younger character to fill that void, being in ones 20s like Kathy would put her more into team mom position if anything. But then again you never know, she seems pretty likable to me so thus far so as long as she sticks around in some capacity i'm fine with it.
