Eps 6 and 7, rapid fire mode:
Ep 6:
- Tieria is continuing to be awesome this season. First he's telling jokes, and now he's bitching out Saji with a lecture that makes total sense. This
is all kinds of awesome.
- Wang Liu-Min, playing every side against the middle...but whose side is she on? Interestingly, Nena has quantum brainwaves?
- Soma continues her angst about being a super soldier. I really feel for the poor girl.
- Andrei all but had little heart sparkles around his head when he saw Louise. Saji, you have competition!
- Sumeragi backstory alert: Apparently she and Kathy were given misleading information and ended up treating each others units as enemies while they were both
working for the AEU as tactical forecasters. Which lead to multiple deaths, including Sumeragi's apparent boyfriend, who noted before the mission that he
trusted in her tactical forecasts and her...
- Lindt pisses Kathy off with references to the same event, and she almost throttles him....but this also reminds her that the Gundams use tactics like
"Kujouh" used to....
- Using themselves as distractions, Setsuna and Allelujah face off against their opposite numbers, with the 00 Gundam forced to activate Trans-Am to keep up,
while Allelujah refuses to attack "Marie" as fiercely as he could...
- Meanwhile, Saji's manning the gun turrets...and seems about ready to fire at a GN-XIII that, unknowingly, is piloted by none other than Louise....
Ep 7:
- But he fails to pull the trigger in time, and a swerve by the Ptolemy II jerks him away from the controls. Ian reassures him that it's okay that he
couldn't pull the trigger, as Andrei saves Louise from the barrage of GN missiles that takes off one of her GN-XIII's arms and nearly finishes the job.
- Trans-Am Gundam 00 disarms Mr. Bushido!'s Ahead(literally), but causes backfires in the system that shut down both drives. However, Mr. Bushido! is an
honorable man, and refuses to finish Setsuna off in such a state, and retreats.
- Allelujah and Soma crash land on an island, and while both Federation and A-LAWS forces search for Soma, the latter are called off, as Sergei continues
searching.
- Naturally, Allelujah saying her name again triggers Soma's dormant memories, and when she wakes up again, she remembers being Marie. Thus, we get
flashbacks, as Allelujah notes he thought about rescuing her when he escaped, but didn't.
- Which is good, as the craft he and the others escaped in was running out of air and food, so Hallelujah took over and killed everyone else to ensure his
survival.
- Naturally, they're eventually discovered...by Sergei. Sergei recognizes Allelujah from the rescue operation 4 years ago, but still tries to seperate the
two. When he draws his gun on Allelujah, Al's accepting of it, so long as Sergei promises to keep Marie away from the fighting. Sergei promises to do so
and fires....only for Soma to jump in the way...and for Sergei to have fired into the air. He promptly decides that Soma Peries died honorably in battle, and
thanks Allelujah for his assistance 4 years ago.
- Sergei and Soma seperate on decent terms, and Soma notes that the Soma part of her wanted to be his daughter, for which Sergei is thankful. I swear, this
scene just yanks at your heartstrings, especially when Soma starts crying and you can tell Sergei's fighting back his own tears as he flies away and tells
Lyle where to find the two of them. I predict this subplot is not remotely done yet.
- Naturally, Lyle flies in on the two of them kissing. Whoops.
- And CB as a whole is shocked that Al's bring a girl back with him. Sumeragi, however, is just relieved her drinking buddy's okay.
- Meanwhile, Tieria's confronted by his Innovator counterpart, Regene Regetta....and appears totally clueless as to why they'd share DNA. SUSPENSE!
- And the preview shows....Tieria....in a dress...with boobs?! Is it Tieria? Is it Regene? Will we have either of the
two's genders confirmed?!
- Also shown in the preview is a new greenish GN-XIII variant of some kind. Random fandom suspicions suspect this may, indeed, be the return of TEAM PATRICK.
