Bright and Char never met in the original MSG, at least during non-combat situations. Plus he was always wearing a mask.

No body knows what happened to Ecole Du Ciel? I checked manga updated the volume is still stuck on 11. I just wana know what happened to the series. Cancelled? Break?

I think you mean Reccoa, we don't meet Roux until ZZ

[jmaximum]

you are correct Fizz. I meant Reccoa. Too many female characters to to keep track of in the series

But wouldnt Cptn Bright recognize Lt Quattro as Char? And it was kind of odd that Kai Shinden just happened to be out in the middle of the jungle, wearing a white suit, outside Jaburo where Roux was spying.

Thanks for the clarifications!

I found that pretty odd too.

[jmaximum]

right? just *poof* there he is, in a WHITE suit in the middle of the amazon jungle, and conveniently in the right spot at the right time to save reccoa from the guards. that was a little cheesy, but other than that, I am really enjoying the series. the character development is amazing.

The pilots of the Nu Gundam and Sazabi are arch enemies, not the mobile suits.

The Jagd Doga's pilot, Gyneu and the Kämpfer's, Mikhail, were minor characters and didn't really have an arch enemy.

Just watched Z Gundam episode 27: Char's Return, where Char/Lt Quattro returns from Earth to the Argama, and two Zaku-II fire some gigantic mega ultra cannon at the Z Gundam, missing it but destroying the shuttle Char just disembarked. Now, it looked like Kai Shinden was piloting that shuttle, and if he was, he's definitely dead. What I dont understand is that the main characters just kind of mentioned off-hand that the blast 'made the shuttle disappear.' but no mention of their long time ally's death.
so: Is Kai dead? If so, what an anticlimactic way to go.
Also: Amuro, Hayato, Kai, and Cptn Bright all spent the one year war fighting against Char and Zeon. I am a little confused as to why there is no tension between any of them, especially Char and Amuro, in the Z Gundam series. did i miss something?

Kai is still alive. The shuttle pilot may have looked like him but it was just a coincidence.

As for enemies working together, there was some tension, especially between Amuro and Char but they were fighting a powerful common enemy in the Titans so they had to put their issues aside.

[jmaximum]

I must have have missed the subtle tensions between char and amuro, because to me it looked like they just shook hands and said "Nice to see you again buddy" (obviously not in those words).
I dont have an issue with the adolescent pilots (I figure Kamille is in his late teens and Kotz is 13 or 14), but what is up with the really young kids on the Argama (Sheta and Ko)?

Both definitely still blamed the other for Lalah's death but it wasn't something they were going to argue about on the Audhumla.

Shinta and Qum were simply a nod to the three orphans on White Base in the original series.

Oh ok, from the way it was starting to sound in the series, i thought they were going to end up being reccoa's kids.

Nope. Let's just say Reccoa has other interests...

[jmaximum]

Yeah i know
I did not see the episode yet, but I know she turns sides and goes over to Scirocco.
But if the kids are not hers, then what is their relationship to Fah? Why did she get stuck taking care of them?

Reccoa's reasons for defecting are equally hilarious and interesting.

Fa Yuiry couldn't really contribute much/very well on the battlefield so she took on common chores like serving meals and taking care of the kids.

In Gundam 00 when the Thrones pilots visit the Ptolemaios I was really confused when Lockon's Haro came around and called the purple haro his "older brother". Then when the purple haro told him to "go and die", why did Lockon's Haro say, "Are you sick?"

Likely Lockon's Haro has been around almost as long as Bad Haro--hell, likely all of the other Haros have. Therefore, Haro's likely encountered Bad Haro before, when it undoubtedly had different personality programming.

more Zeta Gundam stuff:
in the episode "Dakkar's Day", when Quattro/Char goes to the city to address the AEUG cause, a Titan pilot named Mike is shot down in his Ashimar. It doesnt seem like he's killed, as they show a shot of him unconscious in the cockpit when the Ashimar crashes. He seemed to start sympathizing with the AEUG, I was wondering if we will see mroe of him in the future?
