Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - Episode 06 Discussion / Poll

[SoldierOfDarkness]

Stupid moron needs to get over his past and lighten up, and he'll become better a pilot if he actually puts some heart into it, rather than simply taking everything as a "roger" mission.

Now I have never met a child soldier before but I'm quite positive that children who were raised to fight right from the start are quite emotionally detached or lonely within themselves. Not to mention the shock they'd have to overcome to kill a person.

By the way, Gundams' armor is strong enough to take multiple hit of Enact's weapon and still no sigh of damage

There's two settings I believe if it follows with the Union's rifle.
1. The standard one shot round which has penetration power and range.
2. The rapid fire mode which sacrifices penetration power and range for speed.

If anything, the Gundams' armor can withstand small arms fire but not heavy rounds (Such as the Terien's 300mm cannon which Exia blocked with his shield)

Everyone likes Exia, huh?

^not me i prefer kyrios.

after watching ep 6 ive come to 2 conclusions. first is that the battles are awesome since theres no truly large scale battle (so far).
second is the character designs having 3 categories: normal, female looking guys and masculine women. solution: hav a good talk with the character designer to fix future characters.

I won't go as far as that, but Exia is definitely the reincarnation of the one true Gundam in the current series.

Exia=gundam
Virtue=guntank
Dynames=guncannon
Kyrios=zeta (?)

huh?

[Demongod86]

Exia the gundam? My ass. If you'd paint the dynames red white and blue, you'd have the same effect.

Exia is no more the gundam than all the others are. Exia has a shadow of its melee capabilities, dynames has its range, kyrios a shadow of its flight capabilities, and virtue a sad imitation of its all-out power.

In case you don't realize, the gundam is not some piece of junk from the UC. The gundam can only be the Wing Gundam Zero in its original incarnation.

I think you're over idolizing the old RX-78 a bit there.

sure, with Amuro in the pilot seat it was certainly a force to be reckoned with. But lets be realistic here, it never had to eliminate more than a ~dozen suits, and in most to all cases it was with support from White Base and/or Guntank and/or Guncannon. Hell, it nearly got destroyed by a bunch of guys on nothing but floating platforms throwing bombs. It was nothing like the super robot level gundams we see now-a-days, running around and destroying entire legions in a single sitting.

Did you even bother reading the last line of my post? I can see you didn't.

Well, at least he doesn't detonate them.....

If he did that, he'd have class :P.

But seriously, for a 16 year old fighting against war vets much older and more experienced than he is, at least his not doing a Shinji and bitching every time he gets into the cockpit...

He's also the only Gundam meister to fight them so far. Besides, in most of these fights, it was the Gundam, not Setsuna, who won.

So far, it really looks like it's the Gundams owning, not the Meisters.

[Hypernova]

The bit at the start was a interesting nod to the "collation of the willing".

Setuna now have two opponents who can go toe to toe with him - Graham in using SuperFlag and Ali with 1337 skills from the years of battle.

[Papaya]

Hopefully we can add Sergei (if he's not already on the list) and Soma there too.

[dreamless]

although the animation quality drops steeply, the plot just becomes more and more interesting each episode. It's nice to know that Celestial Beings have indirectly blocked the Princess efforts of seeking foreign assistance, and that they have caused price inflation

The AEU's top ace still ROCKS as always Somehow Moralia reminds me of Big Boss' Outer Haven.

Now Felt reminds me of Ruri Hoshino too

[KiNA]

The way he flew away kinda remind me of Team Rocket

Now all that he need is their screams

[LightningZERO]

And the 'bling' effect

Sergei is definitely much more skilled than Setsuna, and I'd say he's more skilled than Graham. He used a Tieren, the slowest of the grunt-type MS of the three factions, and out-maneuvered Exia.

He used a Tieren High Mobility Type, probably the fastest of the Tieren units, so he wasn't that far behind the others.

Well to me, it's more like:
Exia <- Strike Freedom <- Destiny <- Impulse <- Freedom <- Strike <- ... <- RX-78-2

Of course, you can count those SD Gundams in red, blue and white too.

Borrowing a line from Clinton, "It's the pilot, stupid!"

Of course, i don't mind if Lockon learns a thing or two from Kira Yamato and steals Setsuna's thunder.

Everytime i see Lockton, i think of Kurz Weber. Setsuna is like Sagara Sousuke sans the comedic side. And in this episode, we finally get our new Gauron in Ali. There's a lot of resemblance here. The Gundam guys may be watching too much Fullmeta! If Ali can survive multiple mobile suit explosions in the future, then i'm ready to accuse Sunrise of plagiarism.
