First Impressions / Gundam

Summary:

Fourteen years ago, during a losing battle, Sergei had issued the order to retreat to their final defense line so that they could protect all the people building the orbital elevator. Doing so, however, meant abandoning Holly on the battlefield. Andrei now recounts how his mother’s body was never found, and ever since then, he hasn’t spoken with his father normally. He believes that in maintaining military discipline, his father had killed his mother. Back near the Africa Tower, the Ptolemaios crew has realized that A-LAWS has another satellite weapon. Kati has figured out the same thing and can’t believe that they’re going to be attacking the low orbit station, but Billy suspects that in order to achieve a permanent peace, Homer is willing to shoulder all the sins. Ribbons and Regene meanwhile discuss how mankind hasn’t learned anything from the past and how that’s why Aeolia Schenberg created the Innovators. Ribbons, however, reminds Regene that he created him, so he should be treated as the Maker, and it will be he who leads mankind, not the Innovators.

By now, Tieria, Lyle, and Allelujah have launched in their Gundams and are headed towards the Africa Tower. When he sees the Katharon forces getting decimated by the Federation forces, Lyle rushes ahead and engages the enemy. Sumeragi wants to try to fly the Ptolemaios back into space to attack the Memento Mori again, but the ship isn’t in any condition to do so. Fortunately, Setsuna decides to head out in the 00 Raiser because at this point, that’s the only thing that can stop the Memento Mori. Since the 0 Raiser needs a pilot, Setsuna instructs Saji to do it, and he reminds Saji that there are 60,000 lives at stake. The idea of protecting those people motivates Saji, and he soon launches in the 0 Raiser and docks it with the 00 Gundam. While this is going on, onboard the low orbit station, Hercule wants to stay behind and urges Sergei to escape, but Sergei convinces Hercule to escape as well by reminding him that they have to protect the people.

With the Memento Mori about ready to fire at this point, Arthur orders the Empruss out to intercept the incoming 00 Raiser. Devine has the Empruss grab onto and electrify the 00 Raiser, but Setsuna is able to activate its Trans-Am, and he fires a massive particle beam that annihilates the Empruss. This beam doesn’t stop with the Empruss though, and Setsuna is able to use it like an extremely long beam saber to hit the Memento Mori. This does a considerable amount of damage to the satellite weapon, but it’s not quite enough, and the Memento Mori is still able to fire off a shot at the low orbit station before it itself explodes. One of the explosions causes the firing angle to be different though, so the Memento Mori beam ends up hitting part of the orbital elevator structure below the low orbit station. The result is that the outside wall of the orbital elevator starts falling apart, and its various pieces plunge down towards Earth. This also means that all of the people still on the trains heading down die as their trains fall off their tracks and collide.

Given the dire situation, Sumeragi broadcasts a message to all the forces around the Africa Tower asking them to destroy the fragments of the falling pillar in order to protect all the people on the ground. The Gundam Meisters are the first to spring into action destroying the falling fragments, and they get some help in the form of Marie piloting the GN Archer. They are then joined by Katharon, the coup forces, the regular Federation military, and even by some of Kati’s A-LAWS units, including Andrei and Louise. During all this, Sergei and Hercule emerge from the shaft and start helping out as well, and Marie recognizes Sergei’s mobile suit. When Andrei realizes that Hercule is here and was behind the coup, he turns his weapon towards his father’s friend, but before he can do anything, he’s alerted to a massive pillar fragment that’s falling towards them. Normal weapons fire doesn’t have any effect on such a big piece, so Tieria activates Trans-Am on the Seravee Gundam and fires its GN Bazooka in hyper burst mode. This splits the fragment into two, and the 00 Raiser swoops in to finish the job.

The battle against the falling fragments continues until evening time, and the population under the orbital elevator is mostly saved. After surveying the destruction, Sergei finds Hercule in disbelief over what happened, but this is short-lived because Hercule’s mobile suit is suddenly destroyed by Andrei. Andrei blames them for causing all this, and when he realizes that the other mobile suit is piloted by his father, he’s fueled by his belief that his father killed his mother and that his father had participated in the coup. Marie tries to help Sergei, and although she’s briefly pushed back by Louise’s Ahead, Louise then gets occupied with Saji and the 00 Raiser. Unfortunately, Marie isn’t able to reach Sergei in time, and Andrei’s GN-XIII proceeds to stab Sergei’s Tieren. In his final moments, Sergei remembers how Holly had asked him to take care of Andrei if something happened to her during their next military operation. During her funeral, however, it was Hercule who had comforted Andrei, and Sergei hadn’t said anything to his son afterward. Covered in blood now, Sergei tries to apologize to his son and confesses that he didn’t know how to deal with Andrei who had closed off his heart. He then pushes his son’s mobile suit away from his own, and in his mind, he apologizes to Holly. Sergei’s Tieren then explodes, and Marie is only able to watch in horror.

Preview

Bah. Everything was working out so well with everyone, even Kati’s A-LAWS forces, banding together to destroy the falling pieces of the orbital elevator. In a series like this where they emphasize how much humanity tends to fight itself, it was good to see a moment of actual unity. But then stupid Andrei had to ruin it all by killing Hercule and then Sergei (at which point I was yelling “Noooo” at my screen). Story-wise, it made sense that if Sergei were going to die, it was going to be by A-LAWS or Andrei – being killed by his own son was definitely the more tragic route – but I still didn’t want it to happen. I really hope Marie kicks Andrei’s ass now, and it looks like in the preview that she’s pissed off and wants revenge.

Speaking of Marie, she finally debuted the GN Archer and showed off it’s mobile suit form. It looks quite feminine and resembles a U.C. GM like with its single visor and coloring scheme. All it needs to do now is to combine with the Arios (I think this is the point where I wonder if there’d be any sexual connotations). This week also had the fall of another Innovator, Devine, who died in a rather unceremonious fashion – so much for his revenge. Four more of them to go (not including Anew or Tieria). I found it interesting that Ribbons flaunts his superiority over Regene – maybe that’ll be his downfall. The story will be jumping ahead four months before that can happen though, and I would guess that they’re going to start building up towards the finale now. That time period is probably long enough for Louise’s new mobile armor to be completed, and it looks like Anew’s relationship with Lyle might be heating up as well.

As a side note, with all the Obama stuff in anime and manga (I’ve seen at least five different references/appearances now, including in some recent chapters of Air Gear), I’m sure I’m not the only who thought of him when they showed this in the preview.

    Epic episode is epic.

    No one can stop Marie now, and if it’s her and Al together, oh man, better get out of the way.

    Another time skip is a surprise, but I don’t complain. What’s up in the preview with Anew blushing? Her and Lcokon2 getting closer and closer eh? Sounds good to me really.

  21. So Sergei is finally gone. I wonder if at least a quarter of the characters will remain standing at the end.

    I wonder how the public will go against A-Laws and co. I doubt it would happen like the ‘
    Dakar’s Day’ episode from Z Gundam series. Not with the Innovator and A-Laws far more tighther control over information than the Titans ever did in Z Gundam. Hmm. Tieria might be the key… but anyway anything is still possible.

    The Earth Federation President certainly ain’t United States President Obama. President Obama looks much better.

  30. Andrei is definitely a punk ass. Anyone else think he was a prick when he was about to fire on Hercule while everyone was trying to clear the debris? Definitely gotta feel sorry for Big Papa Bear, all he was trying to do was talk some sense to his good ol’ buddy then his low-life son starts making assumptions and ends up killing him, A-Laws definitely must have been suspicious of him.

  43. The Federation President looks nothing like Obama. They are not alluding to him either since they showed him in the very beginning of season two talking to Ribbons via audio before Obama was even elected President.

    Another one of 00-Raizer’s peaks was used, but this one requires Saji.

    … and I don’t see why you people are sad about Sergei’s death, I mean he was SO deathflaged since episode 7! (I’m astonished he lasted 10 more episodes)

    I wonder though, how will A-Laws explain the Elevator drop incident to the world? (Probably by blaming the Now-dead rebels or something?)

    Patrick piloted GN-XIII and the last time he was a pilot of a plane. He hasn’t got a new suit to pilot. And if he would be this episode in the battlefield they would show his face. Plus this episode was dedicated only for Sergei that’s why they didn’t included Mr. Busdido(they let him to fight to his limits in 15ep.) and made an excuse for Patrick didn’t show up in the battle and mobile suit, because Kati doesn’t let Patrick anymore to pilot mobile suits(he now pilots planes).

  67. Seems like the 60.000 people that were coming back to Earth are died… or perhaps one or two make it to Earth but seems like all have died… At least, everyone was together to stop the falling wreckage.

    Sumeragi shows her face to everyone back there. They were so shocked to realize the elevator falling they took time to protect the cities.

    I bet A -LAWS will accuse the anti-gouvernement factions.

    I would like this incident to make more anti -A-LAWS people. If Memento Mori had not been ready to fire the elevator would have been alright.

  71. Wow. Awsome! It has been a while since i had a feeling like that. Last time was from Code Geass and it was the best anime in 2008. No doubt that Gundam is going to be the number one anime in 2009. Second best anime is probably going to be Chrome Shelled Regios.

    I wonder if Sergey’s son will ever realize that he killed the wrong people. Same for Louis, what will she think that she have been killing people because she was pursuing the wrong enemies.

  76. Oh my god! I was pleasantly surprised by this episode! Oh man, to think the guy’s own son would kill him! I mean, come on! Ugh, I hope the bastard get’s killed by Marie, thus completing the horrible cycle of war that Gundam shows love to shove in people’s faces.

    “He killed my brother, so I killed his!”
    “He killed my brother, so I killed another of his!”
    “He killed another brother of mine, so I killed his whole family with a colony drop!”
    “…Dude, that is going way too far! But not far enough which is why I am going to drop the moon on your whole family!”
    Etc…

    Cycle’s of revenge and death only bring more pain. Louise has no clue how much pain she has brought through her funding of A-Laws. But she will hopefully before the end of the series.

  84. One more thing. Because Andrei is so used to kill in A-LAWS, for him killing his father is not much of anything. That is how soldiers are trained and once they kill; they just disregard of the consequences. (really complicated in real life)

    Hehe, Lyle X Anew will workout just fine I guess. The curtains scene in the first ED sure convinced me that it was Lyle and Feldt, and the gun in his hand meant somehow that it will end in a tragic way for the couple. But look like it has more to do with the fact that Anew is an innovator.

    Louise’s funding had nothing to do with Memento Mori. She’s rich, but not THAT rich. Louise funded their mobile armor development program, and possibly their mobile suits too. IIRC, it was Wang Liu Mei who funded Memento Mori. Though Ribbons himself no doubt has access to tremendous wealth; he probably took control of the Corner family fortune when Alejandro died.

    @GundamFan112

    The “ZOMG black politician = Obama!” crap comes because it’s fairly rare to see black people AT ALL in anime.

    @banzemanga

    Killing your fellow soldiers, though, is generally regarded as a treasonous activity.

    Yes but killing fellow soldiers that are for some reason declared “traitor” is not regarded as a “treasonous activity”. In this case, Andrei pretty much killed his father because in the A-LAWS point of view, his father is pretty much a traitor.

  95. FFFFF can’t wait for the subs 🙁
    If this one part is like the last bit in CCA where all factions cooperate, imagine if… there’s a second one with Ribbons making a worse plan than the elevator collapse, and Setsuna holds up whatever’s gonna fall in Trans-Am with massive GN particle output and combines the wills of humanity… well you get the idea. Far-fetched, I know, but still would be brilliant.

    Hmm… now that you think about it I guess Andrei living while realizing all that he’s said and done would be enough to make him become an hero. Bah, I never liked the Shinn types anyway, except for Kamille only he wasn’t a blind bat who became one of the antagonists to be beaten by the former hero (Amuro in this case). Still hoping for a Marie/Soma and Andrei encounter.

  97. EPIC WIN.

    – Kataron + Coup + Military + A-Laws + CB = Unified World XD. Looks like the statement is that all the sides wants to help humanity; they just disagree on how to do it most of the time.

    – GN-Archer looks cool, and is our “actually feminine” suit for this season. Go kick some ass Marie. Though I do wonder how the heck she got her pilot suit (she isn’t supposed to pilot at all, yet she has a color coded suit with pilot helmet? Note that the color of her uni is a bit paler than Ale’s uni, so no “used a spare” possible)

    – Hurray, Saji is now officially useful! And he has his own pilot helmet too! Note this is not qute the same as “Why does Marie have a uniform?” because people have been pressuring him to fight from day 1.

    – Best after-eppy ever, even though I now want Andrei to die, then get resurrected so he can die again.

  113. Dayum, Setsuna messed up big time. Can’t blame him though, who knew that him blowing up the Memento Mori would just so happen to angle its Death Ray right towards the orbital elevator?

    On an unrelated note, how is it that Setsuna’s 00 can have a higher-output laser than the Seravee? I’m pretty sure that the 00’s weapons weren’t built for such massive output, even if it has the energy levels to deliver it.

  116. Am I seeing things or did another innovator just bite the dust, he looked pretty dead to me.. But man what an episode, I expected Hercule to die as soon as Andrei showed up, but coronel Smirrnof as well.. Bummer! But still this is going to get things moving, I wonder when Louise is going to turn round, Marie will definitly be the one that makes this happen now that she has shown up on the battlefield.

    And an interesting part from Ribbons as well. He has revealed that he and Tieria where the only official innovators. He made the others. That perfectly explains why he is taking this path. I’m not gonna explain all my thinking, to much of a hassle, but my guess is that CB is following the true plan of Aeolia. Ribbons was probably shoved aside when Tieria was created. That’s why he didn’t now about Trans-am and 00-raiser. So the guy’s jealous and thinks he’s a god. He hacked into Veda and is now creating the future where he rules the world and where he doesn’t have to follow Aeolia’s plan.

    @jordiblau – that is a possibility, the fact that he was left out of the knowledge of Trans-Am and Twin Drive System, is definite proof that he was not in on the plan, or at least wasn’t entirely trusted by Aoelia.

    In other news, I hope Nena will be okay. It really worries me that she’s not in the opening, because it either means that she’s going to die before/during EnD GaMe, or that she doesn’t participate in anything risky thus leading to her survival in this series. Personally, I hope that the animators just botched the opening and forgot to add her in, and that she does something productive like against Momento Mori.

    I was thinking something similar, even if Ribbons piloted 0 Gundam he was replaced by Tieria. This is all for the sake of his ego, like it was for Corner, and to prove he still of value. “If Tieria’s so much better then me how come I’m in charge now old man.”

    All I see is idiots on the side of A-LAWS which contains masses of emotional idiots swirled by bitterness of the past and fear of unknown. A son who kills his father is no son nor is he son of his mother. His a fool. He killed his daddy because he always wanted to, he just needed fucking reason to do it. Gosh, I hate story makers. They just mess up good characters into emotionally screwed-up idiots.

    Also I think the whole 00-Raiser-trans-am-raiser is getting to be a bit much. But the last battle with Andre, Marie, Sergie, Louise, Saji, and Setsuna like a much larger version of the 0079 with Char, Lala, Sayla, and Amuro.

    And I hereby declare Andrei a non-person for his crimes against humanity.

  159. How the fuck could he kill his own father?! That scene when he stabbed Sergei I had to pause. I couldn’t see the rest. I know it sound funny but I had my father in my mind all the time I was about to cry. That Andrei guy is one fucking retarded piece of motherfucking horse shit. Even saying that doesn’t help. it’s just….

    How do you figure? Shinn actually had valid reasons for his actions, Andrei didn’t.

    As for the timeskip, how are they going to explain Soma/Marie not killing Andrei on the spot?

    My guess at the reason for no immediate retribution are either the GN Archer ran out of power because remember it doesn’t have its own GN drive, or she was so devastated she needed time. Probably the first.

  166. Marie probably didn’t kill Andrei for some reason like “That’s not what Sergei would want”. Besides, Andrei is needed for plot movement (more Marie piloting, Louise having second thoughts, yadda yadda).
