Gundam 00 - 18

by: Tales

This episode really disappointed me.   In terms of plot and action, this episode wasn’t too bad.  However,  on the ethical and moral standpoint, it was pretty bad. I can’t wait for this season to finish up.  We do learn more about the origins of the Throne Gundams though.  It seems that the Throne Gundams are almost identical, but run on a fake GN Drive.  We also learn that Veda doesn’t contain information about the creation of the GN Drives either.

Nena definitely has a few screws loose in her head.  She feels the need to shoot innocent civilians since they are enjoying themselves at a party.  Not only does Louise lose her hand but her parents as well.  I used to find Neena somewhat funny, but now she’s just downright crazy.  She also sends the message out that Celestial Being will even harm civilians for no reason.

I take back what I said earlier in my previous post.  The Trinity siblings do not have much experience fighting at all.  We see Graham Acre totally take control of the battle with Johann Trinity.  He slices his arm off with his own sword. That’s definitely something one wouldn’t expect.

Setsuna feels the need to act on his own again.  He heads to destroy the Throne Gundams and stop them from this needless killing that has been happening.  I doubt he can beat all 3 of them alone.  The next episode seems to be focusing on the aftermath of Setsuna’s action.  I’m hoping something good happens for Louise and Saji.  That scene was just too sad.
