1. True. Her higher up tells all he knows about it to Saji.
2. Wrong. Its a dream/hallucination. It seems Setsuna has a bit of problems with his sub-consciousness making him doubt his own actions. his "peaceful" side of mind was just taking up her image in that dream/illusion.

And the Ed screenshot was a fake - that person is still in that scene.


As for episode: true... EPIC. GOtta give props for thrones for

I still hope our Gundam Meister comes out of this all right, but after watching the ending credits, it's looking relatively unlikely.

Lockon isn't dead. At least not yet. They just said he took heavy damage. He might still be alive we still don't know for sure. Tiera was pretty useless. I guess he isn't human and he is just too depended on Veda.

Well, there weren't any videos of Lockon in the trailer for ep 22, but I think they purposly did that so that people think that he's dead... at least, I hope he doesn't die...

Can't wait for next week...!!

I doubt that Lockon's dead because Sunrise writers only kill characters that are not popular and given all those badly written turns in previous episodes there will be happy ending for the meister crew for sure.

I feel extremely bad for Saji, losing his sister and his girlfriend lost her arm. I have overflowing sympathy for him ): .

I hope they don't kill Lockon Off, hes probably my favorite meister along with Setsuna.

BETRAYED, they were completely betrayed....

Because of the selfishness of one man, the world is now in danger.... Do I sense a crisis coming up?

We know now that VEDA has the power to control all the GN Drives, including both the false and real ones.... So there may be a REASON why Graham doesn't use GN Drive. If that will come to use in the next few episodes, it means that the alliance of the three nations will be BETRAYED another time by Alejandro...

What will Saji do now? What is this? One sad event for him per episode????? What's next? Louise will die of cancer??? His fate is way too twisted for a normal human to handle.....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I'm wondering when the green guy is going to kill Alejandro... not if, when.

Great episode. I wonder if Saji's going to continue where his sister left off... but I can't see it. I don't think he's aggressive enough. I'm really interested to see how all of these events are going to change him.

I'm sure Lockon will be okay :) This new development seems like another turning point for Teiria. And yay for Sumeragi for anticipating it!!

umm then that would totally mess up the whole beginning of the story where his dream is to go into space and also wait for his g/f..etc. I don't doubt that he will try and figure out what really happened to his sister in turn finding out that CB was not the real killers, but I do doubt that he would join the news place and pick the story back up. It would seem pointless in my opinion.

Why would Veda be so easy to tamper with? Why is Veda located on the moon, didnt they think that someone might find it? After seeing this ep I feel like its all planned out and this is all "part of the plan".

I agree with the above people that think the GN Drives play an important role in all this. As soon as they mentioned "mass production" it all seemed to click together. I'm not sure how the story will pan out but assuming they all "adopt" this stolen technology from CB. Veda could, theoretically shut everything down thus stopping war. But then again the fake GN Drives don't seem to be linked to Veda so I could be wrong about the forced shut down part.

Definitely a great episode.

hmm...i tihnk i missed out on something when it came to the mass reproduction part...because...

well if you remember one of the intervention of Trinity where they took out the professor...he was about to discover something about an expedition going to jupiter or saturn if i remember correctly and some weird msg poped up on his monitor..soo...if the speculation is right..and i really think it is..or else why would they have showed that message...and that those new GN drives are indeed made similarly than the ones on the gundams, well..they wouldnt be able to mass reproduce them in time anyways...

Lol Setsuna n00bing out. I was soooo angry when Lockon got stabzored, though (especially for a character like Tieria). Lockon's prolly not dead (he's not seen w/ the other pilots because he obviously can't participate in missions if he's injured), but then again, some of us said Kiune might live, and we all saw how THAT turned out...
I'd think that the fake GN drives can prolly be shut down by Veda, too, or have some exploitable weakness for Corner to be so confident.
And Setsuna's still crazy.

That was freaking EPIC. Looks like the season's definitely going to end with a lot of loose ends at this rate... And I give it a less than 5% chance that Lockon is dead. He's too integral to the organization to be wiped out yet.

I thought of a few ideas...

so Tieria isn't human, ok fine. Now his gundam seems to be more dependant on Veda than the other three. It might have something to do with the Trial system of Nadleeh that forces other units connected to Veda to malfunction. (basically getting cut off of the Veda internet XD ) I think Tieria might get Lockon's Gundam. Only because Virtue is out of commision though, not because Lockon is dead.

I hope Lockon is just going to have Issac's scar like in Gundam SEED or be blind. If he goes blind then he loses his ability as a sniper, thus his use in Celestia Being would be removed. Or he could go melee crazy like Exia, or support in a GN arms. I hope hes not dead, but it could happen.

Honestly, it was the worst episode in a while. A lot of things happen, yes, but they were so easy (scenaristically speaking) that it isn't even worth mentioning. I really don't catch the role of Saji in the series now...
Oh and of course Lockon isn't dead, do you really think that a main Gundam character will die before the last episode ? (except for Gundam First I never saw that happen)
And the sudden change in Tieria and Setsuna's personnality was not really necessary and do not improve the story at all. SEED was not my favorite Gundam, but at least the characters were good, in 00 they are average at most.
Oh and I felt a big drop in the quality of the animation in this ep too, it was way weaker than the previous one.

Really good episode!
The music playing when the Gundams shut down, was really well choosen. I think Saji will resume his sister research on Aeolia.
Also, I'm pretty sure Lockon isn't dead (or at least I hope =P).
Can't wait for the next episode, just 4 more episodes until the 6 month break =(

I really don't know what you mean by "easy," but not worth mentioning? Well lets see. The Ptolemaios has pretty much become independent of Veda. The new GN-X models can stand up to Gundams pretty easily, meaning that CB is now on the defensive. Lockon is taken out of commision. Seems worth mentioning to me.

I really don't catch the role of Saji in the series now...

It's called patience. His sister just died, he's not going to just jump into the middle of the conflict right away. He'll probably have a much bigger role come season 2.

Oh and of course Lockon isn't dead, do you really think that a main Gundam character will die before the last episode ?

spoilers that predicted:
- Saji finds out from his sister's boss that she was investigating Aeolia
- Sumaragi switching the Gundams off of the Veda system
- Dynamis saves Virtue, in the process Dynamis is heavily damaged.
have said that Lockon is now blind. So no he isn't dead.

(except for Gundam First I never saw that happen)

Which Gundam main character died before the end of Gundam First again?


And the sudden change in Tieria and Setsuna's personnality was not really necessary and do not improve the story at all.

It's called character growth, and it really isn't logic breaking like some of SEEDs character development (mainly Kira). Setsuna has been changing since we first met him, we've seen him become a better pilot, more determined, willing to work with his teamates (even forge bonds), all the while holding a notion of becoming a "Gundam" - aka the embodiment of Celestial Beings (apparent) goal of eliminating war. Tieria on the other hand was simply cold, emotionless, and willing to sacrifice everything for his missions and Veda. But once he lost Veda, his character growth kicked in. Frankly he's still a bit of a mystery.


SEED was not my favorite Gundam, but at least the characters were good, in 00 they are average at most.

Opinions. Personally I like the 00 cast much more.

Oh and I felt a big drop in the quality of the animation in this ep too, it was way weaker than the previous one.

I noticed this too, but it might just be the raws that Shinsen used (the sub group I watched). I'll wait till menclave release theres so I can see if it was truly a drop in animation quality. And I really wouldn't call it "big."
