yes, OZ is a global organization that wants to separate themselves from earth.

So Relena isn't really Darlian's daughter.. And the final part was awesome where Duo and Heero confront each other.

Poor Relena. Her "father" was killed. Peacecraft, right? I remembered Lt. Zechs lady friend once mentioned Peacecraft. Is Zechs true identity is Peacecraft?

Maybe Relena is the sister of Zechs?

So in this episode, you learn that Lady Unn is a sneaky little twat.
I never liked her character, honestly.
I can't believe she made the colonists look like terrorists.

And I really liked Relena's father,
even though that wasn't her real father.
He was right in being suspicious of Lady Unn the entire time though.

Relena really should have held onto the compact and gotten herself killed.
i feel like she's constantly escaping death in nearly every episode thus far.

And doesn't Duo's repairman kinda look like Master Roshi from DBZ?

For some reason, I found Relena bringing the bomb back to Une hilarious.

Darlian: "Relena....." (*heavy darth vader style breathing*)  "I'm not your father" LOL!

lol Relena gave the bomb back to Lady Une 10 seconds before it detonated. xD

What is Relena's obsession with wanting Heero to kill her?

I'm pretty sure Relena's dubbed voice is the same as Jelanda, from the PS1 game Valkyrie Profile. It could be Jelanda or some other character, but I'm pretty sure it's from this game.

Yeah, finally some back story! At first, I didn't understand why did they want to kill Relena's father, but as they explained, it became clear. It was useful to understand how the colonies managed to have enough resourses to build those five Gundams, even thought I can't imagine how they had the money to spend on their development.

I think Heero is one of the worst main characters from Gundam, even worst than Uso, Kamile or that guy from 0083. At least, they're laughable. Heero is a total b*tch!

great episode :)

i find it hard to believe on how Relena can travel to space and earth simultaneously with ease O__O

guess the future will be able to do that huh? :D

damn that bastard Lady Une, even labeling the innocent colonist as terrorist. so Relena is not the real daughter of the Darlian family? so there was a senator of peace named Heero Yuy and was killed by the same organization that killed Relena's adoptive father?

i really doubt Heero Yuy was given to him Heero as a code name. i have a feeling that was Heero's real father or some relative.

if only Relena threw the make up on the ground towards Lady Une.

though if the colony only sent Heero Yuy to do the mission, then what about the other Gundam pilots? what's their relation on this mission?

finally Heero Yuy returning the favor to Duo! and that maniacally laugh! HA HA HA!

can't wait for next episode!!

Yes, she really should have. I'm still not sure what to think of her, she seems both stupid and reckless at the same time, as well as her weird fascination/obsession with Heero. How the heck does she know that Heero is actually a nice person (although I'm sure he is, after we get some character development) when the very few interactions they had with each other, Heero was either telling her that he will kill her, or pointing a gun at her. Yup, nice alright. She must be delusional.

Wow that sucks for the nice people who just want peace to be framed as terrorists...anyways, I laughed when Relena gave back the make up to Lady Une.

So Heero Yuy is a codename that no one on Earth picked up on?

OZ is the problem? Isn't the Alliance Military conducting the violence on the colonies?

Relena bringing the compact of death back to Une was gold.
Too bad it didn't detonate on Une like in a Warner Brothers cartoon

So they named their “secret” agent after the most famous political figure in the colonies and sent him on a big ass Gundam on a “secret” mission to destroy OZ. Okay…
Let’s also have none of the other Gundam pilots know about each other, because group work is overrated.

I think Lady Une is my favorite character of the show.

Gundam pilots randomly encountering each other for drama I guess.

Heero is a "kind hearted boy"? I have seen zero evidence for that but okay...

Helena blames the group that rescued her for killing her father instead of the woman who literally threw a bomb into the room he was in right in front of her.

Show is rather absurd but at least some backstory was gained here. But naming an agent after your political hero? Stupid beyond measure.

Around 8:55 into the English dub I found, after Lady Une is nearly hit by the van:
“Are you hurt, Lady Une?”
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm”
LMAO. Her low grumble without any words is just killing me.

All this tech and apparently no CCTV footage of her throwing a bomb through the window of a government building lol

Good episode overall, finally stuff is starting to come together.
