To have him do this after "Months of happieness" is more then a little odd and a reversal of character instead of growth. This is one of the reasons it's odd to not go into more detail on this subject. Is it happiness for Relena? Is it actually both of them are happy as the passage implies? Does Heero open up to her at all?

If we are to just take him up and bouncing one day and saying jack shit it really begs to question just how realistic is that Heero has had any character growth in that time and just how happy those two actually are.

Had Heero jetted right after he woke up and healed, or when Relena was in the shower or some shit then it wouldn't be a problem. It smacks of weird though they decided to pull Kira/Lacus with Heero and Relena only to have Heero pull Midseason Gundam Wing Heero type action.

I see where you're coming from and totally agree.

I still can't think of what he was recovering from after the whole Barton incident... he stumbled out of a wreaked gundam and from what I was able to tell, collapsed of plain exhaustion. Whatever, it would be nice to get an expansion on this.

On a side note, why is Rashid and the rest of the Manguanac Corp. upset with Quatre? They were with him at New Edwards... even though they seemed to have disappeared halfway through the battle. Dammit Sumizawa! Get it together!

As it is, so long as they aren't going to end AGE early then there is likely little to worry about Frozen Teardrop or Glory being ended early. Granted neither seem to be doing raving well among fans either so anyone holding out hope for something to be animated when it comes to either is holding out hope for something that will likely never happen.

Maybe you're right!

But I do hope it gets animated just for the sake of having GW animated again. One can hope

What makes you say they aren't doing well with fans? They still sell, right?

I didn't say it was doing badly.

However it certainly isn't doing amazing either if we just look at fansites, listing on blogs and overall fan outcry from Japan. Nothing suggests to me that Frozen Teardrop is doing amazing or badly it, just kinda is.

Unless you are talking about Age, then there is plenty to suggest that things are going very very negativly even if it is starting to win people over slowly.

Hell, an explosion in the face should have scarred him a little, but he came out unscathed... also, is it just me, or the damage the serpents did to wing zero was trivial?

By the way, the other thing is that Heero and Duo are both imbeciles... do they think they are too broken, or what?

Spoiler for reasoning:

The two of them forsook thei chances of tranquility... although in Duo's cases, his relationship with Hilde was forced, I admit... how did they go from the enemy zone to the "friends-semilovers" zone? so, their breakuo prior to Mars was obvious... by the way, which chapter of the novel states that Hilde is dead?

On the other hand, Heero is just like I said before... despite being one of my favorite characters ever, he is an imbecile for thinking that he is too broken or something like that... at least trowa recognizes which is his home... let me make this comparison, Sousuke from FMP is simply dumb, but Heero is an idiot...........I apologize to Heero Yui's fans, hope no one got too pissed off, but even if i like him as a character, he pisses me off a lot... and even more, after he said in the novel that he will kill again, specially after EW

Well the damage to Zero is odd. He takes way to much damage that we just don't see being done to him and then they use the odd excuse that it was the TBR that finishes it off.

As for Heero, he does have a weird habbit of avoiding damage but I don't think it's any worse then say Kira who takes Aegis self detonating right to the freaking mug.

I know Age is doing terribly but I haven't really seen Japanese fan opinion on Frozen Teardrop. Just the vocal Western members. Where is the Japanese fan outcry?

That's really the issue.

There isn't any. Thus far Frozen Teardrop seems to have avoided AGE's fate, but neither has it gained any real traction or push so that we Gundam fans really hear alot about it from our Asian counterparts like we did with Crossbone/Unicorn/Astray/Stargazer.

Maybe when we actually get to see Snow White, or something of substance happens we might see a pick up, but as it stands Frozen Teardrop seems to be in a state of Limbo bordering on Meh which could be even more damning then AGE.

Right now the closest thing we can really compare it to G Gundam Manga remake/retelling that while not doing badly didn't lite the Gundam world on fire either. Of course this from everything I've seen. I surf more then a few places popular with Gundam and talk to more then a few buds who are apart of the Japanese gundam scene, that said it's all hearsay so of course it could be wrong, but until Bandai or something showing a strong following from Japan I'm comfortable going with this mindset.

No... it's one year.

Also, don't try shipping Heero and Relena together with that blurb, folks. The author states that she watched over him protectively like a nurse. That doesn't mean he's reciprocating anything.

Edit: secret clause it is! 機密事項

You know... I think you're going too fanfic on this. Duo, okay, maybe that's an explanation, since I never thought he'd have become such a jerk, but Heero... well... we only assumed that he liked Relena.
But I don't believe he's going to actually kill her. Do you?

[Deacon Blues]

Continuing on... (does this satisfy people btw?)

Spoiler:

* * *

Secret Clause 203, Part 51 referred to the details surrounding the formation of a special agency to prevent war and their activities recorded therein. In other words, the agency was none other than Preventer. Of course, the budget expenses for this secret intelligence are carried out in absolute secrecy.

By disclosing that to the public, dissolving the organization and informing the populace is the same as losing methods of peacekeeping for the future. And to pay the ransom simply could not be done. It was an impossible demand.

The executives at the President’s office decided to firmly reject this and gave a special order to Preventer

“Retrieve the nuclear warhead and rescue the hostages.”

A resulting investigation determined that the nuclear weapon in question was genuine. It was a narrow area nuclear explosive device used for cut mining on the resource satellites at the asteroid belts between Mars and Jupiter. The bomb has very little residual radioactivity. Even though it can be used in confined spaces, there’s no doubt that the Sanc Kingdom would be leveled in an instant.

“I never thought it’d be something left behind by the Alliance Forces. I wonder if this is intentional political propaganda. “

“Indeed.” WuFei said upon hearing Sally Po’s report. He was usually calm.

“’Manten kakai’ {瞞天過海}, huh? Seems like their target is something different.”

“What do you mean?”

“Deceive heaven and cross the ocean.”

“So you’re saying…?”

WuFei gave a tiresome reply.

“Their goal is to buy more time. They ask unreasonable demands from our side and while we’re running around like a chicken with its head cut off, they’re likely intending to carry out their real objective.”

“Take over the Earth Sphere, huh?”

Around this time, WuFei was flying around the L-4 colony sector on another mission. Sally, on the other hand, was orbiting the moon. They were the only two Preventer agents who could freely move as their director, Lady Une, was currently being taken hostage.

“Although they’re calling themselves the ‘Epyon de Telos’, they must be terrorists in disguise. We don’t have to release their comrades, give ourselves up or prepare the money for that matter.”

“Still, the fact is an armed group has taken 200 hostages and barricaded themselves in the castle.”

“If we forget about the hostages, I can go finish this right now…”

“No! That’s not acceptable!”

“So shall we join forces with them and take over the world?” WuFei joked with a serious face.

“Yeah, real funny… There must be another way?”

“Force our way in.” WuFei said with clear eyes.

Sally couldn’t think of any other way.

“As I thought, we’d have no choice…”

“Can you call for backup?”

“I’m organizing a strike team.”

Sally was calculating in her head the number of people she could possibly call on.

“How many do you need? I can get 1000 people together within 48 hours.”

“By then the Sanc Kingdom will be a mushroom cloud.”

“Then I’ll get 500 in 24 hours!”

“We hardly need that many to take over a castle.” WuFei said, a steadfast look on his face.

“Five, including myself, will be enough.”

As one would expect, Sally replied in shock, “Five?! Only Five people?!”

“We don’t have much time. I’ll tell you where to find them.”

When he said this, Sally finally realized the five people he meant.

“Because it’s a fairly large area to cover, I’ll help you too.”

“Right. I’ll meet with them personally and ask for their help.”

“Otherwise they won’t move either.”

at last they talked about something... relena for president ......may not be something romantic but at least they had some dialogue.....

Thanks for the translations Deacon. They're highly appreciated, even if it's basically reading Preventer 5 lol.
