You're awesome Kitsoru, thanks a ton for these scans. So, GotD isn't the only thing that's basically a retelling of GW, is it? Yes, I'm looking at you Quatrine and Trowa P.
Seriously, I'm starting to feel like FT will be more of a GW AU fic on Mars than a continuation of the series. There's so much recycled stuff, ranging from character design to plot, it's basically like watching Wing all over again. Just with sillier names. Last edited by IkuzeMinna; 2011-02-09 at 17:26. |

Well, they're still laying down the exposition/backstory stuff, so... I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt until the actual plot starts picking up- but yeah, I can definitely agree that all the recycling is kinda lame.
EDIT: Also, ooooooooo REI's new pic.... http://pixiv.blogimg.jp/usabiba/imgs/5/b/5b4bf32f.jpg I likey a lot. |

Sumisawa indicated that he wanted this novel to act as a bridge between the original series and a possible sequel, so I don't know if FT would be animated, but instead maybe whatever sequel they have in mind will be animated instead. I think it'll probably depend on how well the gunpla and collected tankobon sales for the novel go.

*sigh* This chapter. I swear. We open with a narrative from One Thousand and One Nights. But, I can't find a story about a fox... :/
Anyways, Quaterine introduces herself. We learn Quatre's father's full name. Quatre is still blaming himself for people dying, lack of air in outer space (XD if you get the reference) and says that "Once I cried often. Now, maybe my tears are frozen teardrops". Ugh, that term. First Deimos and now his tears? No wonder his sister goes "..." at him. White manteau mobile suit = snow white Black manteau mobile suit = warlock Quote:
Back to the present... Quaterine activates the Maguanac mobile doll team (cur beaucoup de references to famous pieces). Heero and Duo tag team. There seems to be a mirror trace program that gets activated but gets cut short at the last second... And then it all comes crashing down on her. And then it doesn't! Trowa ends up reactivating the crap, kisses her I'm flying off the cuff here and not really reading. Basically... Naina and Mille end up picking up Quaterine. I'll slap up the little dialogue at the end later. Cliffhanger~

Sssssssso Relena's not bad? Quatrine/Katherine is the real villain? And so are Naina and Mille?
wat? @_@ This chapter...oy. Thanks, Deacon! BTW, a friend tells me there are indeed stories about foxes in 1001 Nights, they just aren't as popular and thus not usually in the condensed versions. |

Yeah, trying to find a full version is proving difficult. I just want to see what that part of the story is... it's difficult. Japanese translations of other stories doesn't really work well. Dawn's Voice/Voice of Dawn doesn't really yield much :P

Have you looked through the full list on wiki? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...and_One_Nights
(Maybe it's under a slightly different name here?) |

"The request comes from me and President Dorothy." (Blah, hate the verb tanomu) He is needed to make Mars peaceful now."
...is this White Fang versus OZ again? Hence the Peacecraft. Only she puts on the mask. *headdesk*

Confused but I will wait until you have the time to get it fully translated. Thanks for at least giving us a taste though.

But yeah, I'm confused too. Damn Wing and its flip-flopping sides, I suspect. |

Okay thought so.
Hmmm... Maybe you're right, akigakuyuu. Maybe Dorothy and Relena are cooking up the same scheme that Treize and Zechs respectively executed together (playing the Well Intentioned Extremists in order to pull off a Xanatos Gambit for peace), assuming 'well it worked for the Earth Sphere, so why not try it for Mars'- and assuming that, as before, Heero will come in to save the day and unite the people of Mars? Wouldn't put it past them (or Sumisawa). History is an endless waltz.... 8D;; |

So maybe Relena isn't the one who's memory-addled. Could be a ruse to ruin her credibility. I do know something's wrong with Heero's memory. Can't be perfect with that whole downloading mess. And methinks Relena's been trying to handle all this on her own but now that Heero's awake, she sees him as potential aid.
Maybe she sent Quatrine to lure him? Wonder if she knows he's gonna try to kill her. Again. For the bajillionth time. And I'm liking the idea of two female planetary presidents in cahoots with each other... xD |
