Gundam 00: A wakening of the Trailblazer - Expectations and Speculation

[rocawarde]

Im surprise we're talking about the size of Raphael's Gun We all saw the last trailer, we know that the rifle gonna pack alot of firepower.

As for Qan[T] new GN Keybla....eh... I mean sword. Since it is entirely made of that green material would it be to much of a stretch to suggest the blade double as a rifle.

For Example, Mixing the same tech to make the Rasier Sword using GN Sword III and Seravee's Shoulder and Knee GN Cannons could create a GN Sword where it fires beams using the Blade as a Catalysis.

Please let me know if I'm making any sense, but seeing the GN Sword III better handle the raiser sword. It seem practical to try and develop a GN Sword entirely out of GNC and then see if beam can be fire directly from the blade

Well, until today we didn't know Raphael would have such a small rifle. We're talking about the next entry into the heavy assault Gundam. I think it's safe to saw we all expected it to be shown with a new gigantic GN Bazooka III. I mean, we know it has one, or two, w/e. But I was surprised it wasn't shown with the Raphael in our first clear still image view.

As technology gets better, it also gets smaller. The GN-Bazooka II was smaller than the GN-Bazooka, after all.

Smaller, bit hell of a lot longer. Also, it was a lot bigger when it was combined.

No, the word 'scientist' is as specific as the word 'doctor'. A scientis is any person who engages in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge.

I'm open to another source of where it's stated that Mizushima loves Nena, but for that specific fan report, I think it's a very, shaky source. Just note that the report in Bunka Extend actually mentioned that they typed out the specific way the speakers spoke (which they did), so it's very likely that they had a recorder at hand. If this is the only "source" that says that Mizushima loves Nena, then I believe people should stop using it as a reliable source and building their arguments based on it, don't you think?

I'll ask Hellcat later what source he got his quote from. Maybe he got his info from a difference place than me? Hellcat however is not the source I was talking about. It was a Japanese site.

As for bunkaextend -- even if what they only print exactly what Mizushima said, that doesn't they printed everything he said. That expo done by bunkaextend seems awfully short doesn't it? Isn't it possible that there were a lot of things that they decided not to include? Even If he said he loved Shirin in that particular line, he might have mentioned Nena earlier or later in that interview as well.

So if the other source also was there at the interview they would be able to tell us things that wasn't included on the bunkaextend. (just saying)

[mike_s_6]

I will be waiting for the official source for that then

4 down...3 to go.

This is Hellcat's source, an /m/ thread by brinkmanship:

About the "official source" for Mizushima liking Nena, I found this:
http://www.411mania.com/movies/colum...9---Sunday.htm

but I'm suspecting that this "Jeffrey Harris" guy uses 4chan to get his info, because some of the parts look as if pasted verbatim like the exact wording "newscaster babe" or "the staff talked about the Gundam-meisters facing off against non-humans" which is not the same with the Japanese source saying "CB are aliens" as a joke. Now the question is how come that error crops up so often. Maybe it's an error on the AX Jp-En translator's part? Or my suspicion is correct that the 411 writer is lying about being in the event and uses 4chan? Alternatively, the 411 writer IS brinkmanship.

I tried to google several combinations related to Mizushima, Shirin, Nena, AX 2009, Anime Expo 2009 in Japanese but the only thing that cropped up is the BunkaExtend article, or fan discussions linking to it.

Looking at how Qan[T] holding his GN Sword....the position of its hand looks awkward, I don't know how they going to do in the model, maybe extra joint or extra hands for holding the sword

Liking the designs so far, especially Harute's

[bio9205]

Anyone notice that Raphael has two guns, not one? Take a look next to his left leg, looks like he's got one stored on the back there.

[Rising Dragon]

We've known about those since the first lineart came out for it. There are two of those and they appear to be cannons, though in unusual places for cannons.

It's awkward, but it's not like they haven't done such hands in model form before - look at the "HG" 1/144 Gundam Sandrock Custom, or any model with hands molded with the beam sabers. Although why they choose to have the hand in that position as the default stance for the Qan[T] GN Sword is still puzzling: if you notice, the GN Sword's blue parts line up perfectly with the blue forearm guards in the image, suggesting it's the default stance.

So wait those things on it sides could be containers for gun and double up as shield bits/rifle bits?. maybe it can be used to pass weapons to the other gundams

Well, we were told they would carry weapons, but...look at them, they in no way possible look big enough to carry weapons. They're too thin. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed from being weapon containers, to new shield bits. The original design of Zabanya had its containers look like weapon holsters, this one now makes em look like bits.

Who the hell knows.

Who the hell knows.

i wonder where else could zabanya get those sub machine gun from,other then those containers. Also the gundam it self is described as a armory but i guess rifle bits do count as arms. Rifle bits are still guns but are remote weapons. But then there is still the question of where those sub machine guns came from.

[LightningZERO]

The container looks big enough to me to store guns and rifle. Maybe this time it's wireless controlled weapon containers with guns inside, with the container material strong like those used on a shield...

Harute being a two seater still puzzles me. Why does it need it? It's not like the back booster can remove and become a fighter on its own...or wait, maybe it does?

Two super soldiers + high maneuverability Gundam = down right incredibly hax.

Look at how super lame Arios was until the last episode of season 2. It whooped the Garazzo's ass, and all because of Alle's QBW. Now add another to that, you get the idea.
