Gundam 00 — Episode 23
My exams are next week, so I don’t have time to say too much. Not that I have much to say anyway since episode 23 consists of twenty minutes of pretty explosions and ambiguous character deaths.
Pseudo Summary
Remember in the previous entry where I joked that Exia moves three times as fast with TRANS-AM because it turns red? Well, it turns out that it DOES move three times as fast. TRANS-AM boosts performance by releasing all GN particles stored on the Gundam at once, faster than the solar furnace can replenish them. Once TRANS-AM runs out of juice, the Gundam becomes underpowered until its GN drive can restore the particle count to normal level.
And GN-X has officially been downgraded to the cannon fodder units. They drop like flies in this episode.
Patrick’s cool streak is put to an end when he gets owned by a piece of flying space rock and spins off into the distance Team Rocket style. A few characters may or may not have died in this episode, but if they really do die, you can be sure that they will be resurrected in season two.
Also, lasers! Explosions! Green missile trails! Big guns! Non-stop action! And that’s about all I have to say about this episode.
Screencaps
Just so you know he’s dead
“I AM GUNDAM!”
Virginia class moving practice targets
“I will protect Lockon! *wub*”
Obsolete technology
Why does AEU let him keep the Gundam?
He received too much airtime for his own good
This formation is also called the cam whore formation
The director found a new plaything
Three times as fast!
The Gundam is sort of just standing there
It all returns to nothing / It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
This sequence seriously reminded me of Evangelion
She has nothing on Lafiel
“RAAAAWR!”
We can rebuild him. We have the technology
Déjà vu happens when they sudo gedit /usr/conf/matrix
Apparently that oversize futuristic Wiimote is detachable
Basically it’s a hollow tube with a piece of cellophane paper taped over the front lens
Right: a live alien speciment
Tieria mourns the loss of his seme
Geometric isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism caused by the restriction of rotation about a double bond or a cyclo-compound and the presence of different functional groups bonded to each of the two carbon atoms involved. I hate chemistry.

I couldnt believe that they actually let lockon die but the right after that they let half of the ptolemaeus crew die this series is some heavy stuff im really looking forward to the second season now

well they did have a meaningful talk about their pasts before the fighting started
(phil ken sebben: HA HA!!foreshadowing)
gundam cast rule #37: under no circumstances should you reveal large portions of your backstory all at once, it’ll only ensure a firey demise
and the dr guy fulfilled the role of sacrifical ensign redshirt quite nicely
in short all the gundam standard foreshadowing was there

I’m back again. This episodes got dam alot of fighting, but there are many things that dont seem right…
1) Did Exia Pang Sei Nena?
2) If I’m not wrong Dynames needed a few months to be repaired?
3) How did e UN get spare parts for Zwei? And if limbs were cut off how do they replace them?
4) The GN container looked like it was cruising when it was obvious the ship was goin to get owned by e GN-X
5) In e last episode Virtue’s GN field got crapped up by TWO shots. Now it can withstand the GN-X continuos fire. Maybe they changed the particle density?
6) After Zwei’s attack Virtue’s GN field got penetrated, and the damages were gone at the next scene?
7) How the hell did Lockon break out of e room?
8) Why didnt Hallelujah block out the quantam brainwaves
9) Virtue’s beam was dam inba, and it was like say 7-8 times larger than him? If u notice the TRANS-AM display he used 60% +-. He destroyed 1 GN-X (the retard guy from AEU not counted). And he’s gun wont over-heat?
10) The GN arms is a rip-off from e METEOR system.
11) The G’s in the gundam wont kill them? I presume the normal ones would be from 9-10. 3 times as fast = ?
12) How long does it take to charge TRANS-AM? Cause Setsuna was using it like say 12 hrs after the fight?
13) Lockon din use his TRANS-AM >>> I’m sure u noticed tt.
14) Was Lockon’s helmet CRACKED when he went into space?
15) I wonder how long he took to conect e cables to his funny thingy
16) Take note that Zwei was blasted, and after a lag time it shot DIRECTLY into the middle of the GN arms.
17) The sniper thingy was DIRECTLY on the GN arms… I tot it was supposed to float or sumthing?
18) I presume from the preview that Nadleeh can use TRANS-AM
This is bout it. The storyline is great, but they should make it more realistic. I mean this is wat separates it from SEED and DESTINY. Where Zaku’s can fly anywhere and gundams are not so ownage.
I dont know whether michael gundam was called Zwei but…
I wondered wat would happen if a person kept on crying and he din take off his helmet?
Ready 4 ep 25

Lockon died for a good reason and with a good scene (i like that scene when he tried to hold the earth… T-T). No need to resurrect him.
