Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (episode2)

Episode 2:
By: bluesnow




Second episode of Gundam 00 has finally come!!!
A little more of the base story has been revealed, but still the audience is being kept in the dark of alot of the main story plotXD
First half of the episode is alot of talking, and the second half is another beautiful battle. Not as good as the first in my oppionion, but its getting there.

The episode starts off discribing the world’s situation.

After the orbital Elevators were created the world split into three major spheres of power.

World Economic Union (*Union), which is all of the Americas.

Humanity Reformation Associates: China, Russia, and India

Advanced European Union: Europe for the most part

Those three super powers, and smaller countries not part of any of them have been fighting amongst themselves for power. Out of that fighting arose the neutral military organization: Celestial being, which claims they will put down any war by force.

The opinions about Celestial being are mixed; some think they are super hero’s and to volunteer to keep peace is great. Another group believe that it seems too good for an organization to do this without gaining any profit for themselves.

The first 1/2 of the episode was about rulers of the super power’s talking about their opinions on Celestial Being, which is mostly they’re a nuisance, but they won’t strike back until they get in the way.

Graham and Billy talk about the potential of the Gundam Machines. Not only do their sparklies (Photon Decay particlesO.o) Mess up electronic devices and radar, but the Gundams are strong enough to deal with Space to Earth entry through the atmostphere. Graham seems really intrigued about them and wants to find out everything.

Wong Ryuumin shows up and gives Setsuna and Lockon their second mission, this time they will be accompanied by Allelujah and Tieria coming to earth from space. The mission is to put down a battle is the former Sri Langa; an ethnic conflic that had been going on for decades.

They get there and destroy both sides with ease. After completing the mission they get ambushed by a random mobile suit (Flag?) Piloted by Lt. Graham, and the episode ends on that note.

While this episode seemed a little bit boring at first in my opinion, the battle at the end made up for it. I kinda want some more character development to start happening though, maybe I’m just being a little impatient.

I also love the battles. Not only do the gundams look really sleek, but the battles have alot of action and swift interesting movement (which is making it hell for me to screenshot themXD)

Since I really have nothing else to Say I just thought I’d clarify the 4 revealed gundam meisters and their gundams.

Gundam 00 Setsuna

Setsuna: His origin is the Kurdish Republic of the Middle east. Pilots the Exia Gundam and has a blue suit. His gundam seems to specialize in special knives of some sort that cut through metal with ease=) Lots of slashing.

Gundam 00 Lockon

Lockon Stratos: His origin was Ireland. He pilots the Dynamos Gundam and his color is Green. His gundam seems to be specialized with a sniper Riffle=) He really reminds me in both character and battle strategy of Kurz Weber from FullMetal panicXD

Gundam 00 Allelujah

Alleluja Haptism: His Origin was somewhere in the HRA. He pilots the Kyrios and his color is Orange. His gundam has been shown to transform and likes dropping bombs… His emo, cover one eye haircut reminds me so much of Troa from Gundam wingO.o

Tieria

Tieria Erde: His Origin is unknown… He pilots the Virtue gundam, and his color is purple. His gundam looks like a sumo wrestlerO.o Its really big compared to the others, but I guesse it needs to be because it has this huge lazer beam of mass destruction on it… One random note is he doesn’t wear his glasses in his mobile suit so it can be hard to tell who he isXD

All the pilots are so pretty=) Well In the words for Konata from Lucky Star, these days mecha’s seem to focus a lot on pretty characters XD whahahahah~
