Yes, everyone has a new toys to show off in upcoming episodes. I think having Hallelujah personality back in Allelujah system might help him in terms of fighting against A-LAWS/Innovator, however it might affect the relationship his newly found relationship with Marie in negative way. And, I guess Marie with be piloting GN Archer and that makes things more complicated. Plus, she might worried what had happened to Sergei in the aftermath of Seel destruction using Memento Mori.

kagetasan

also, anew returner, yeah, she's an innovator or i'm some kind of platypus.

No, I think she is Wang Liu Mei undercover agent and a product just like the Thrones. I think she has a quantum brainwave ability just like Nena and Innovator. Speaking of Nena, I have a strange feeling she will opt to seduction to get her vengeance but I think Ali is a not fool to get snared easily.

So, the Twin Drive system was envisioned by Aelioa but somehow it was lost/destroyed after the all five original GN Drive were complete or in the data purge after Trans-Am was activated. Ian was able to get theory from Veda and wrong around it. I think only Arios and 00 are battle-able to face two Innovator new suits. Assuming A-LAWS able to located and damaged/destroyed Celestial Being base, leaving Seravee and Cheridum only able to deal with A-LAWS Aheads. This leave a ratio 2:5 unless Ian has a hidden second base with the rest of the Celestial Being Gundam upgrade cache.

This mobile suit race reminds me of Zeta Gundam as many different and improved mobile suit were introduced throughout the series. I expecting more tensed situation in upcoming episodes.

For some reason I don't think Returner is an undercover agent. But the problem with that theory is the fact that she can't be an Innovator either. All the Innovators are males, despite their flamboyant appearances. So in that case, Anew has to be an undercover agent for Wang Liu Mei.

About Hallelujah returning...I thought he was dead? I hope they have an explanation for his return. Other than GN particles affecting Allelujah. But in all honesty, I want to know what this "Memento Mori" is other than another weapon of mass destruction. If there is anything else. I'm curious if it was 00's GN particles or the activation of the Memento Mori that cause the switch in personalities. But then, what's the "sensation" that Tieria felt? Hey, maybe Hallelujah and Soma will get together and everything will be dandy~! XD iJoke. Unlikely, just 'cause the two of 'em are super soldiers.

I wonder what this "Gun Archer" is too. Improve Arios' mobility?

Im more curious about what mobile suit is on the GN archer...and that 0-riser seriously made 00 more bad ass as it is...

and lagrange3 will fall because of the given preview... can't wait to see the next episode
hope they don't kill off the vhasti family...

Anew returner sounds like an innovator name, and what is up with wang liu mei? does she just enjoy playing all sides? sheesh. i also want to see nena's reintroduction to the meisters.

I hope Hallelujah reappearance doesn't affect Marie too much. I also wonder if shes going to be the one to pilot the GN-Archer, as it would be interesting plot twist to have her go crazy while teamed with H/Allelujah. Speaking of which, I also wonder what exactly the GN-Archer does.

...She could actually be a he with a good disguise, like Tierria was earlier. So yeah, I think she's an innovator...the resemblance to that Revive can't be a coincidence. I don't know about her being...grown..(like the Thrown meisters) by Wang Liu Mei, though.

Anyway, what's got me most concerned right now is this odd feeling that the show is setting itself up for some tragedies;
1. lagrange3 is probably going to attacked next episode, and that can't happen without someone dying.
2. Hallelujah is back, which is good because unlike Allelujah, he can actually pilot a mobile suit competently. It is very bad though, because Hallelujah is a lunatic a$$-fish who will probably end up doing something horrible like killing Marie (such a touching, feel-good reunion of two lovers couldn't possibly go without something tearing them apart again...) who might have reverted back to Soma, who I doubt will be ecstatic to know that her foster father might have died and that she is currently on an enemy ship.
3. The conversation between Saji and Marie reminded me that Saji has to figure out that Louis is in the A-laws someday, and by then it'll probably be to late to save the situation. I mean she'll actually end up fighting the gundams, and either dying or killing one of them (doubtful with that drug addiction of hers, though.)
4. Even the reappearance of Mr. comic relief, Patrick , is a bit foreboding to me because it seems like the only thing that he could actually do at this point to warrant any screen time is die -probably at the hands of a gundam. And when that happens, Kati might try to...um, step up her game to out-strategist Sumeragi in order to get revenge.

Complicated show...

A la NewType scene straight from Universal Century and Saji learns the harsh truth which in turn he will be whining throughout the next episode.

Whoa there, Lyle. He just met Anew on the last episode and now his is try to hit her in the next. How convenient they are in the same ship. Looks like Feldt gonna be a bit jealous after all. On another note, she the double agent and Wang lending her to the Innovator to reveal the Lagrange 3 base to the A-LAWS assault team. This might implicate things further into the series.

It's a good timing for Tierra to reveal the info about the Innovator as they able size up the situation more clearly. And not a moment too soon (or too late).

I hope as the second season comes to the mid of the series, more revelation will complete the puzzle and the action is getting hotter and more tense. Just I don't like idea of recap episode when it hit the mid-series.

Well when the pilot of Gadessa acitvated quantum brainwaves, Anew had lost it for a few seconds, and they found CB's position. If it wasnt because of her, then it was the sensing of Tieria.

And Marie will become increasingly useful, coz for some reason she has the innate ability to once again detect quantum brainwaves, and eventually find its source.

Well, Ian's in trouble if not ready to kick the bucket right now. And I'm pretty sure that Anew chick is definitely an Innovator. Too bad. Though I figured "Anew" is a bit strange of a name--even for a codename. Despite "Lockon". Yeah, I was wrong, Anew is definitely an Innovator.

Ah yes, Saji and Louise have learned the cold hard truth. I wonder what will shape of it now...looks like her superior officer is going to teacher her some "life lessons about war" in the next episode though. Question is: what's Saji going to do now? And I betcha he won't be using the 0-Riser any time soon. He can't handle the speed at which 00 moves with that thing equipped. It would have to be Marie/Soma.

Yeahhhh, I hate Wang...and her look of shock in the wake of the Memento Mori...nice. She deserved it definitely--I bet that isn't what she was expecting or wanted for that matter. But it's definitely what she deserves. I haven't seen Hong too much lately though; I wonder what he's been up to? And Nena's drunk off the destruction, she loves the Memento Mori. The problem is she's conflicted with Wang and on top of that Wang just insulted her. I wonder what Nena will do now too.

And it seems when the 00 uses the 0-Riser, both Soma and Hallelujah resurface. So I'm assuming that high concentrations of GN particles is what triggers their alter egos. Not sure if that's good or bad. And quantum brainwave users are all connected by telepathy of some form...I wonder, are the Innovators are to quantum brainwaves as the Gundams were to the mobile suits used in the first half of season 1? I hope Marie tattles, spies aren't needed for CB right now. x-x

ChaosNataku

Well, Ian's in trouble if not ready to kick the bucket right now.

I dont know, it seems pretty weird if they were to kick him off now. Besides his daughter, his wife and Anew, the lifeblood of Celestial Being runs through this guys genius and hard work... completely oblivious.

ChaosNataku

Yeah, I was wrong, Anew is definitely an Innovator.

Unknown, but its still out there.

ChaosNataku

Ah yes, Saji and Louise have learned the cold hard truth. I wonder what will shape of it now

Saji: "I will save her from the A-LAWS".
Louise: "I will save him from Celestial Being".

Both die trying to save each other... LOL

Although it was evidently the GN particles, that necessarily isnt the answer. your statement implies that if you pushed both of them into a Gundam battlefield both of them would re-awaken coz all Gundams now produce GN particles.

However from a physics point of view this can be answered. Energy is released in photons, known as quanta. They would only reawaken when the level exceeds a minimum value per photon. As such your point is therefore valid. Awaiting an answer as to how GN particles convert into waking up other ppl.

As for Wang Liu Mei playing both sides, it adds an interesting twist to the plot. Her reaction after the firing of Memento Mori was certainly a sight.

Yes, but in a battlefield, there's space where the dispersed GN particles are free to float around and aren't as concentrated as in the enclosed space of Lagrange 3 where CB was hiding. It's like adding salt to a cup of water, a tub of water, or a lake. The concentration of salt becomes lower if you add it to a larger body of water. The GN particles dispersed by the 00 was highly concentrated in a confined space. We've already seen that battlefields don't affect Allelujah, so the concentrations are definitely weaker than inside the asteroid. Base. Thing.

Most Gundam series are 50ish episodes however 00 was supposed to be shorted than the average. Due to the large popularity they are probably making the second season will probably match the first giving the series 50 episodes in general. I would also look out for a closer at the end and a movie trilogy as that seems to be the theme for old and new Gundam series.

It was? Where did you hear this Gemneus?

Minus any ova's or ending movies, the gundam series usually end at 50.

I don't care how many episodes they what to produce as long as they able to deliver decent/above the average content and stay focus with the main story development. However, I like how they use 24-25 episodes per season format in this production as the story plot not tend to stray far from the main and manageable to watch without the audience lost in the mist of complex plot. Adding cliffhanger conclusion at the end series and significant time leap (in years) are a plus in which makes the audience wants more.

By the end of episode 12, Louise resolve to forget everything about Saji and hell-bent to defeat Celestial Being. In other hand, Saji in the state of confusion as before he manage to hijack 0-Raiser to get off the boat to see her, he been reminded by Tiera words that his foolishness will cause the lost of others. The Innovator begin to questions where Wang Liu Mei royalty lies and her intentions also 00-Raiser is a threat of their plan. Sergei is feeling discontent of A-LAWS eradicating Middle East nations that oppose the Federation representative government plan on their country using Memento Mori and the gag order. He might dessert the Federation later on.

I think if Katharon manage to get hold Memento Mori, it will give them an upper hand in the conflict but they have miscalculate the orbital satellite capability of using high energy laser output to fire into space. This might devastate their space fleet once and for all. Unless Celestial Being able to reach in time to reinforce the Katharon assault plan.
