o so the rumor's kind of true... it is saji's fault that a base got blown up... and wonder what's gonna happen to soma... seems like she won't be staying with a-laws for long
The Episode Starts with a Press Conferance where the Federation links Celestial Being with Catalon. And uses them as a excuse to push forward A-Laws. The scene later changes to Ribons where we get introduced 1 more Inovator and the mention of more. The suit Ali will be using is a Inovator suit devoloped by them Ali is now linked to Inovator's as a "human operative" After this the Opening Starts.
After the opening its seen several Haro's working on repairs all over the ship. Feldt and Maline ? Talks on the bridge mentioning the repairs, Twin Drive system and a little more that i dont remember fully.
The scene then changes to Cheradim and Arios escorting the Shuttle, Lyle goes on how the base has remained hidden. Its due to GN Particals that seams to be operating some sort of energy grid.
Shortly after they arive at the Catalon Base. Lyla shows his face even after Tiera's disaproval of the request from Catalon's operatives. Tiera and Allelujah just reveals their faces behind their helmet visors.
The scene then moves towards Catalon and CB conversation. Marina gets mentioned and the conversation starts around that and some "half non existant introductions", Children then runs into the room and surrounds Marina and pulls her away.
The conversation changes to discussing cooperation between CB and Catalon. Catalon starts by mentioning their fighting the same Federation, CB then corrects them saying their nemy is not the Federation but A-Laws. Klaus ends up stating they want to help stil and some more i couldent really catch watching the feed and remember now at the end. But it was mentioned anything from maintance to other's. CB also comments that there is no GN Drive suits amount Catalon's suits.
Yeah, I'd hate Saji, but there's the fact that he didn't really mean for this to happen, he was just being stupid. Also, that guy was listening in on the conversation between Sergei and Saji, and leaked the info to A-Laws.
Soma really doesn't like the methods that are being used by A-Laws, just more fuel to use for the defection speculation.
o so the rumor's kind of true... it is saji's fault that a base got blown up... and wonder what's gonna happen to soma... seems like she won't be staying with a-laws for long
lol lets not hope
Spoiler for scene:
he pilot the o riser
man hes probably gonna get fuk up ,many have died due to his action
-Kataron having some discussion with CB crew (they are so much in the guerilla tendency that they have their children at base, but unlike setsuna, they are obviously not taking part to any battle)
-Saji is still very hostile to Setsuna and CB and manages to get out, thanks for being mistaken as part of CB by a Kataron guard
Meanwhile, the gundams took a sortie.
-A LAWS retrieved Saji as he was getting out by car. Soldiers interrogate him as they obviously think he is part of Kataron.
Smirnov barge in, stop them and have a talk with Saji alone, knowing already that he is by no means a soldier.
However, a soldier is eavesdropping them
-The leaked info reached the good ol' lieutenant, and the platoon will launch a pack of automatons in "kill mode", which is horrifying Cathi and Soma.
-Kataron launches a platoon of Ahead with Soma and Graham. They order the automatons deployment to much soma's disagreement.
As they are dropped, they simply cause a utter massacre.
-Gundams are back, and clash with the aheads. Graham refuses to fight them as they are obviously trying to save Katarons civilians and crew. Lyle is enraged by A LAWS.
A Laws aheads retreat, but Katarons is completely wiped off
-Saji is in the desert and sees the carnaged form afar, mourning about his fault
-End ep: Setsuna brings back Marina to azadhistan, but the country is in flames and they see a gundam there: it is the gundam throne and Ali is having "fun".
Nice outline there. But it's actually a Federation ship that retrieved/captured Saji when he was out in the desert. Also, think you got a typo there, A-LAWs instead of Kataron launches a platoon of Aheads.
Overall, this episode isn't that interesting, except the very end. I'd give it a 7/10.
And the trend continues where the Earth grunts look somewhat better than the Gundams, and especially the Thrones looking the worst out of the whole lot.
I didn't like the original 3 Thrones' design too much, but this just takes the cake. Sorry but I don't share the aesthetic sense that Yanase and Co. have.
The Episode continues after changing the Scene to A-Laws. The mention of the Loss of the Trilibyte meant a huge failiure and Kati gets pushed back in charge. She also asks cooperation from "Mr Bushido" but he mentions he is not bound by A-Laws rankings. And is a 1 Man Army, free to act independant. The scene continues when changing to a "Phone" conversation between Sergei and Soma. it gets revealed that Sergei was a bad father to Andrei and some reflects some on it.
The scene changes back to the Catalon base where Marina is playing with Children, she includes a child that seamed drawn back and not playing with the others. While watching all of this Setsuna gets a flashback from his childhood as he killed his mother and the torture of the past as a child soldier. He gets extremly angry and asks Shirlei about it who rejects the idea totaly and goes on how they take in child victims of the war between them and federation due to their non forgiving approach.
The scene now changes to Saji who mentions how those children are CB's fault and asks even if knowing that why he fights. Setsuna says because he has a reason to, and its okey if he gets hated. The scene now changes to a private conversation between Claus, Jean-1 (Lyle) and Shirlei, its mentioned it dident go as well as hoped and further cooperation seamed impossible. Klaus however says this is enough, and talks to Lyle a little who is unsure in the answer he gives to the question.
The Scene changes again this time to Marina talking with CB, Marina asks for a favor. To be taken directly to Azadistan. CB mentions how its dangerous and that taking Gundam's for this wouldent be a option due to the unforgive approach by A-Laws how they would attack Azadistan as a result. Setsuna decides to take her on the shuttle and that the rest should take the Gundams and head for the ship. While both Catalon and Cb is in "Private conversations" Saji leaves the base, not understanding CB at all and is given a Car to use and he is stil naive on the state of the world as he drives away from the base. Celestial Being also leaves the base at this time taking Marina with them to Shirli's turmoil. The scene changes back to Saji who encounter's the Federation Ship that Sergei is on.
The Scene starts with Saji being contained on the Federation Ship and Questioned what he was doing out there. A second Federation Soldier comes in and mentions a biomatrix match and that he is a "confrimed Catalon Member" he is then hit by the officer. Sergei interupts this and yells at the officer's. Sergei and Saji talks for a little, Sergei mentions that Saji aint a catalon, but is in a questionable spot due to proud and that he was taken away by CB. They talk some more and scene changes to A-Laws.
The Squadron Louise belongs to has been stationed on earth and is reporting to the commander. While this happends A-Laws get the information about Saji and mentions how he had been on Proud and its a high probablity of Gundams in the area where he had been found. Louse and her group requests permission to sortie but commander tells them to rest.
From there the scene moves to Kati's ship. Where order's for the Automatons to be used etc has been issued, she reacts with anger but gets hit down that Order's from above is Absolute. Soma also understands why Sergei was against her comming to A-Laws very well now. But is interupted by Andrei who mentions how Sergei "killed his mother" and that if tis for the mission he would do anything.
The Scene changes back to Saji where it gets revealed that one of Sergei's officer's has reported the issue to Alaws to Sergei's huge anger. He tells Saji to escape, He doesent have the Authority to command A-Las and its nothing he can do to protect Saji now and tells him to get out of there. Saji leaves.
Nena reports that A-Laws has found the Catalon Base and is mobilising. The "young lady" forgot her name in the rush tells she will inform Tieria etc. CB Starts to Mobilise as soon as they get the information. Mentioning how there is Children etc at that base. Celestial Being sorties Cheridum, Seravee and Arios but their to late. A-Laws have already attacked the base, and released the automatos. (There is a smal scene in here how Klaus mentions he belives in Cb will come and when the automatons is revealed that every is to take cover.)
Now the battle starts. In the battle very little is shown except each suit reveals something new. Cherdium uses his duel pistols to destroy the Automato's and afterwords goes on how he wont forgive A-Laws. Seravee is showing his Duel Bazooka Burst Mode and Ario's acts like a Missle and rams into a Suit and cuts it with his "claw" in front. A-Laws retreats and Saji gets back, to his horror he realises that its his fault that this happened. All his fault.
Epilouge:
Setsuna and Marina talks as they approach Azadistan. When they reach visual range they notice a sea of flames and in there a "Gundam Throne" flying. The Pilot is Ali and Setsuna realises it. Ali has put Azadistan in flames.
Preview:
Seams to be an other action episode, CB is Confronted by Catalon for the revealation of the base, Seams to be the launch of several other suits around.
Err...Ali suit look so basic.Now it get even messier,3 faction collide & Ali got in it too. Look like Mr.Bushido is a honorable man,no wonder he's adopt samurai theme.
Oversimplified summary - not really in chronological order.
Spoiler:
Ep starts with a Federation press conference. Livonze watches it from his almighty comfy couch - and Revive is introduced, while Bring is mentioned. Sequence ends with Ali walking towards his new mech and grinning quite ominously.
Back to the desert where all Gundams (along with Marina, Saji and Sumeragi) are beaconed to Kataron's hideout. The guys out there get all giddy at the sight of the 'heroes of Azadistan' finally here. Lyle even dares to take his helmet off in front of the insurgents. I guess that had Tieria not done some soul-searching, he'd be having both an ulcer, a headache and haemorrhoids for lack of respect towards OPSEC.
Marie talks with Sergei (who's in a floating ship above the desert) again - gets a deredere moment.
Kathy takes new orders from Fed fatso - still some tension there with Lindt, as they had to report the Trilobite's loss.
Meeting between Kataron bigwigs and Celestial Being - it was quite down-to-business until a couple children barge in to get a cuddle from the grownups. They take a liking to Marina (whom they recognize) while Setsuna has a disagreeable flashback to his departed mother. The presence of kids in the base obviously unnerves him, but, well, there's nothing he can do about it.
Saji is introduced to Kataron as a victim of A-LAWS' exactions - obviously against his will as he doesn't want to be acquainted with Kataron...just in case. He doesn't like the fact that both Kataron and CB are to fight again, either, so he does the next best thing he can come up with and sneaks away on a Jeep.
As the mid-ep mark is reached, it ends with Sergei's ship flying over Saji's vehicle.
Back online and is Saji is being interrogated - Sergei isn't too fond of coercive action, so he takes the 'good cop' approach - and he manages to extract (Saji being quite obliging, of course) Kataron's location. The hitch is, an overeager interrogation officer is eavesdropping and as pages A-LAWS ASAP.
CB leaves the base, much to Shirin's chagrin. Obviously they were hoping for an alliance but CB ain't that ready to play best chums with them.
Sergei finally notices the A-LAWS informant and immediately releases Saji since he knows A-LAWS procedures dictate the use of automatons. He wants Saji to alert Kataron. In the meantime, A-LAWS dispatches Soma, Bushido Bob and Andrei with an Automaton payload, while Wang Liu Mei receives report of A-LAWS movement from Nena. Data is relayed to Ptolemaios but too late - Arios, Seravee and Cherudim are launched, while Setsuna and Marina continue on to Azadistan with the original plan to drop her there.
A-LAWS get onsite and Kataron's first thoughts are to wonder whether CB didn't snitch on them - that's when the hangar is bombed (I mean, beam-ed) and a vague resistance is put up in the form of outclassed Tierens and Hellions. Soma already doesn't like this as the rebels are unceremoniously slaughtered. And it falls from Charybdis into Scylla for her as one of her teammates swoops in and airdrops the Automaton boxes. The massacre begins.
CB finally gets onsite but there ain't much to salvage - Arios uses its MA-mode claw to snap one MS in two like an oversized stag beetle, while Seravee uses the double bazooka to go DBZ (I mean, it shot a particle sphere rather than a steady stream). Lyle is obviously high on testosterone and adrenalin and uses the beam pistols to sweep through the Automatons.
Soma is still in shock from seeing the Kataron slaughter and can only retreat as Lyle turns his sights on her. With at the very least only two losses, A-LAWS decides to fall back (Bob didn't do anything - he must've regretted that Setsuna wasn't there and called it quits).
Soma backtracks to the ship, evidently distressed.
Not that far from there, Saji sees the ruins and cries out in typical Gundam-angsty fashion.
ED starts.
Epilogue: the shuttle carrying Setsuna and Marina back to Azadistan finally gets through the cloud layer...and shazam, they see the capital engulfed in flames, with Ali's MS hovering above it. Ali spots them and rejoices.
Next ep:
- Shirin and Klaus survived with a certain number of Kataron soldiers, but their base lies in shambles.
I changed my mind, it's 3 factions conflicts (CB, Kataron & A-Laws).
Don't forget the Federation, who aren't the same as the A-LAWs. Also there are the Innovators and finally Wang's group, though that probably isn't big enough to be a faction.
