Romance in Gundam 00

I highly doubt that. If that was not something that the creators wanted us to focus on they wouldn't remind us of it every few episodes. Their interactions aren't overly romantic, not in the traditional sense, but relationship aren't all about "mushiness". The person that either of them thinks about the most is the other (Setsuna and Mariana, both think of each other often) If that isn't the base for a future romantic relationship I don't know what is. Also think about the first few episodes. Setsuna's rescue, Marina's tears, Marina's offer to Setsuna to follow her, Setsuna's desire to hear her song and return to her side. Much of Setsuna's growth has come from Marina the same is true the other way around. There are many more things that could be discussed. No, if setsuna ends up with someone, which he may not, it will be Marina. IMO.

I agree... if he ends up with Felt cause of a flower I'm just going to rage. What is the point of dropping Setsuna x Marina hints in the OPs and some eps only for him to end up with Felt? -_-

well maybe this just sunrise's secret "pairings" twist?

or else this would be 2nd different time era gundam series in a row where the guy get the pink hair (with chantal strand as the english dub)

besides set said he don't got a thing for mar but maybe a sister-mom figure but feldt that just like out of no where if say the flower did it?!

I'm not into secret paring twists... if Setsuna got with Nena at least I would be like "ok" even though I hated the idea of it. I just don't understand the Felt x Setsuna stuff. Hell... I don't get Setsuna x Marina either because it's hinted at so much in the OPs yet we recive almost nothing in the actual show.

So here is a mind twister for fans...

at the end of the 2nd OP, who's hand is Setsuna actually holding? Marina or Felt?

OK.. GO!

well here the op http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Ug1u1otiM and by the look the hand look like 50/50 choice of either marina (as a mom figure) or feldt besides it took bright to see.

but still if he get feldt any guess of shades of her again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacus_Clyne with her english doing feldt???

The only way I can see Setsuna ending up with Felt is if Marina dies and he's in grief

that one theory for that or else he get "whacked" & we can all bury the mar-set-feldt triangle.

but still if sunrise would "pull" for that & yet i'm no idea what in those sunrise's writers minds these days.

The hand is glowing pink like Feldt is at the beginning of the OP, rather than green like Marina (Louise is also glowing green, but a different shade of green) . Setsuna's own arm is glowing white.

I WIN!!

No seriously, I don't care. I like Feldt, but I don't really care if she finds romance in Setsuna or anyone or never find romance at all. Also, it's too damn sudden unless we have a continuation for which all the development will be put into. On the other side, with Marina, everything that we see about their relationship comes across as familial, and Setsuna sees his mother in Marina. So I seriously don't see a romance there.

I'd probably prefer that Setsuna gets no one simply because he doesn't come off as the type who'd settle down with someone, but I honestly don't really care at this point.

overall you want him to be like 00 herro by wander in the crowd ending in waltz?

geez that might be or wait to see the ending itself.

If you look at the facts or just listen to Setsuna then it is quite obvious that Setsuna doesn't have that type of relationship with Marina, or does he feel that way about her. From a productions standpoint if they had intended for a Marina X Setsuna pair then the they would definitely have more screen time together instead of having all but like 3-5 episodes or something.

I am not saying Feldt x Setsuna is going to happen but it's more likely given that they can be developed through side stories.

I'm actually neutral to the outcome of Setsuna's love life, whether he ends up with someone or anyone, but from a production standpoint, I think it's more logical for Setsuna/Marina to happen than Setsuna/Feldt. They have a lot of moments together ever since S1, which all along have not been depicted as romantic, but all it needed to make it romantic is just a little push to break the ambiguity. Like giving Setsuna a line realising that he wants to be with Marina, and not just admire the motherly qualities of the woman. Setsuna/Feldt needed more work, because episode 22 was the first time they have ever spoke with each other in Season 2. Feldt was never in Setsuna's mind ever, and at least until S2 episode 4 Feldt was still carrying a torch for Neil. The shift from Neil to Setsuna is still unexplained. They can give it something in the last 2 episodes, and hook Setsuna and Feldt up in the epilogue or something, but there still needs to be a closure to Setsuna and Marina non-romantic relationship. After all, their parting words was to meet again and listen to the children sing.

Side stories might be used to develop a Setsuna/Feldt romance, but we're not talking minor character or sidekick romance here, we're talking about the lead character. From a production standpoint, it would be out of place if the other lead's love life takes center stage (Saji/Louise) but Setsuna's is developed off-series, unless it's just for plot device like the Goku/Chichi pairing in Dragon Ball, which is prerequisite to have half-Saiyan kids in the next generation.

well ya set-feldt is like just like pop out of nowhere trick by sunrise but still if that finally happen well let say it all on the pink hair & chantal strand did it again.

I'm new here. Since I read on this thread I saw you always repeat age of Marina and I understand what you feel about this, you may be young.

I agree with Sinta. I really sympathize on Marina because I thought she was the heroine in This Gundam series in the first place, but she is faded away little by little till I can't see her anymore, just a little , why the director does that to her. However, she still is a protagonist in Gundam 00. I have seen 1st season 26 eps in a row (few weeks ago) and then I downloaded 20 eps and was hooked all night long. So that Marina is still my heroine for Gundam 00, Setsuna definitely is my hero (sure he is). It doesn't matter for me if Setusna doesn't end up with Marina even if I'm anxious and push forward on them (to be lover) but of course I wasn't the scrip writer, so I just wait and see (then sure disappointed).

I'm quite sure that he will not end up with any women but his Gundam because he always says he is Gundam (one thing he is only sure for himself that he loves). We just saw 1 scene between FeltxSetsuna and we think further for them . I don't see any romantic feeling between them, I feel more with scenes of SetsunaxMarina, there are hints since 1st season to 2nd season, but why these seem to be wrong. I always see a tsundere character like Setsuna ever say something like that (never accept) and I suppose that he doesn't know what he is talking about "I'm thinking about my Gundam" . Anyway I'm really not certain anything for Romance in Gundam 00. MariexAllah is sure romantic couple here and will be happy ending in my opinion. LouisxSaji will be tragic.

...Setsuna tsundere?

ha ha ha that is no SnS or Zero series or even hayate comate & not even taiga besides a male version of it geez i rather watch shana dub.

but really him & marina still difficult with 8yrs gap & besides he not interested in her.

As i said...
Feldt's Moe level over 9000!
That's why she can turn the whole sure Setsuna X Marina relationship to doubt!
Perhaps it would be nonsense if Feldt ends up with Setsuna(it would be like in Akane-iro ni Somaru Sakawhere the lead guy ends up with his sister suddenly on the last two episode)
I personaly would like a Feld X Lockon 2.0 pairing...just for fun(at last Feldt lived happily from now on with Lockon[even though not with the Neil one])

yet if did happen when it's dub ya strand did it again.
