For Marina, she's always portrayed as a nice, caring, and naive character, so helping out someone who she thought as a fellow countryman on a foreign land is quite natural for her too. |

However, I have deliberately avoided using the word "naive" for Marina. She is nice, caring etc... but she also correctly guessed that Setsuna fought, even though he had to be a child at the time. A naive person would have just been confused and said things like "what do you mean?". Marina is 24 and certainly has a mature body, and I certainly don't think she's immature. However, I do think she lacks real world experience. She probably doesn't get out much and it seems unlikely she would have been raised expecting to take over ruling the country. |

An okay episode.
The Setsuna-Maria meeting itself was cliche, but the details of the conversation shows what type of characters they are (which was excellent). AEU's use of CB against the terrorists could be what Veda had calculated: Instead of the superpowers using force, have the CB do the dirty job! The Jewel of this episode: Felt. How she was "close" with Haro...... Next episode: Spoiler for Stuff:

The episode itself is extremely poorly written - it's much worse in this regard than in any of the preceding ones. I can only imagine that the creators couldn't figure out any better way to set up a few of the story points, so they settled for this hack job.

Besides that, the rest was in line with everything we know so far. |

I agree that the plot and dialogue was a bit forced in this ep though. Which is nothing new for the series in that respect. Hope it does get better or Kuroda will turn into another Morosawa (though, at least to the best of my knowledge, Kuroda and Seiji Mizushima are not married).

Yea, honestly, this episode totally blew....
I was so looking forward for Setsuna's and Maria's first encounter, but it fell flat. I don't understand why Setsuna would reveal his identity as a CB. For what purpose? Is he like trying to threaten her and her country?( Seriously, Tiera would have probably shot him on the spot if he was nearby). I guess it's a shame for me to say that the highlight for this episode is the fanservice and Fei. Her obsession with Haro is very cute :3

I'm sure Setsuna F. Seiei had no real purpose for revealing that information to Maria.
He just did it because he can. Setsuna is a renegade by all standards. He's the new Heero. In a way, that encounter was the highlight of the episode. The bathing suits and lack of mercy were just added bonuses. I thought it was a good episode. Even though I knew what Setsuna would say to Maria I was still blown away by him actually doing it.

Unlike last week watching the Raw really left alot to be desired...A pretty dialog based episode it seems...Was surprised to see how fast Setsuna's encounter with the princess was and how abruptly it ended...It seemed so planned out as opposed to the a coincidental circumstance many of us were thinking...Still not sure what the nature of their relationship is but Setsuna looked pretty pi$$ed and seemed to turn the tables on the whole age dynamic as he looked liked the stronger, older character in comparison...Wonder why Marina seemed so fragile around him, even falling out in tears IIRC?? But this ep will defiantly need a sub to be judged with any validity...Guess I can do that now since my jaw is about to fall off from seeing Shinsen actually dropping an ep faster than other guys for once...A day that will live in infamy indeed ...Hmm, I wonder how much it'll get ripped if it's subpar?
