Gundam 00 - Episode 20

気持ち嫌気。I’m just so disgusted. In a good way…tabun. It’s just, everything is so wrong. I don’t know what I saw in Liu Mei, but that girl has some issues. I mean, destroy the planet if it refuses to change so you can start anew? Lagna being the person behind the GN Drive giveaway and being the person behind the Trinity siblings? Which one is it? You can’t play with both sides like the entire world is your fucking sandbox. I’d get into Ali, but we’ve known for a while that he’s a warloving freak. We learned he’s as obsessed with Sestuna as he is with fighting, though, with being so proud that he had taken Sestuna and molded him to the oh-so-normal emotionless child killing machine he is today.

I think Sestuna actually has a valid excuse against what happened with Lockon last episode, for he was certainly an impressionable little child when Ali got a hold of him. While I’m on the topic of Ali, kudos to Kinue for having the guts to get into a car alone with Ali. I thought she might’ve made it out of the vehicle unscathed even when Ali spilled his guts about the GN Drive and such because I thought that was him making more trouble to cause more fights and get back at Lagna for not immediately getting a Gundam of his own. Unfortunately, she’s on the brink of death at the end of the conversation.
But I swear, if she ends up dying, Saji will have practically no other path to go but be the Shinn Asuka for Gundam 00. My girlfriend has no chance of getting her hand back due to the toxicity of the GN beams, my sister got killed because of the fighting revolving around these Gundams, and I’m sure my father was in it on, too, for Kinue wouldn’t stop going on about him… So let’s join the nearest army and pilot the very things that have ruined my life -sadistic grin- Aa, though I’m saying that because I’ve yet to really see how else Saji could become more involved in the story.
Libbons is really starting to irk me. Not only is he the same as Tiera with the power to somehow connect with computerized machinery, he has something going on behind that stupid annoying smirk of his. Revenge of Veda, who may or may not be what is left of Aeolia Schenberg? I think revenge is something that Alejandro at least is after, if the conversation between him and Libbons is anything to go by.
What does all of this mean? The eventual collapse of the entire world. Those GN Drives cannot be entirely legit, and even if they are, power corrupts, and I could tell that the sheer power of piloting a Gundam was going to Soma’s head. I’m glad Graham declined to pilot one. For some reason, when everything goes even more haywire than it already is, I can see him and the original Gundam Meisters fighting on the same side for that very reason. It’ll get old to see everyone pilot a damn Gundam. Maybe CB has a trick up it’s sleeve with these GN Arms they spoke about.
Oh, and I’m beginning to really like the Sestuna x Marina pairing, though Marina’s appearance is a non-factor filler so far. I’m sure she and all these other loose people (I mean, honestly, what is with Patrick and Kathy?) will come together.
I was really surprised about what happened to Kinue. I didn’t expect for something to happen to her so soon after Louise. Every gundam series needs a good emo character!
I can also see Graham siding with the original meisters. He strikes me as that kind of person, and plus, he’s already had that one incident with Setsuna.
Honestly, there’s several episodes left that they could’ve waited to make something happen to Kinue, if anything. Why put it back to back is one of the reasons I think they want to make Kaji the Shinn of 00 xDD; But I guess a Gundam series wouldn’t be complete without someone being emo xP
Mm, unfortnately Graham hasn’t had the chance to meet with Sestuna again.
