This episode definitely impressed me. We find out that it was indeed Laguna Harvey who built and sold the GN-X to the world powers. I was surprised that Alejandro wasn’t aware of this though. Laguna Harvey is also found dead in his office. My suspicions are that Ali was the one who killed him due to not getting a GN-X unit. He was also backing the Trinity Siblings. The pieces are now starting to fit together.

The GN-X units were also sent to attack the Trinity’s base. We see one GN-X destroyed during the battle. The Thrones seem outnumbered and unable to hold their own at this point. I don’t think that the Trinity siblings will live much longer due to this.

19 GN-X units also head towards the Ptolemaeus. The GN-X suits must have some decent armor to be able to deflect the gundam beam rifle. Alejandro orders Ribbons to turn off the Gundam’s operating system. However, Sumeragi planned ahead and had a backup system created. That was a very smart move on her part. After the backup sytem is online the meisters seem to have more of an advantage.

Tieria’s system does not load for some reason when they switch to the backup. Lockon then rushes in front of Patrick’s beam saber to protect Tieria. The appearance of the GN-Arms causes the enemies to retreat. We see blood and a cracked helmet after the battle is finished.

At this point Gundam 00 can go into many directions. They could take Lockon off of Dynames if he is that badly injured. They could also use another pilot for it. We’ll have to wait and see in the next episode. In the preview we see that Ali is in a Throne Gundam somehow. I’m going to guess that someone leaves their cockpit door open, or they just have little to no security on the suits. I love how cautious the Trinity siblings are…

Most of this episode was rather dull at the beginning. However, the new GN-X units are given to each of the 3 world powers. That’s a total of 30 new units. It seems that the Celestial Being traitor revealed the location of the Antarctic base with 30 GN-X units.  These units seem to be as tough as a gundam.

Ali met with Laguna Harvey in order to pilot one of the GN-X suits. However, it looks as if he was turned down. We then see Kinue Crossroad trying to get info out of Ali while he leaves. However, Ali tells her quite a bit about the GN Drive and Setsuna. She then is wounded and dropped off to die in an alley. I really dislike Ali at this point. I’m hoping he never makes it to season 2.

Wang Liu Mei introduces herself to the Throne pilots. It seems she is siding herself with the Trinity siblings. Her character is very suspicious right now. I’m unsure if she has another motive. It’d be very interesting if the creators decided to show her past. I’m interested to see why she hates the current world so much.

The Thrones end up battling the new GN-X units and have to retreat. I’m surprised they made it out alive. Alejandro and Ribbons make their way into Veda which is hidden on the moon. I’m definitely interested to see what is inside Veda. I’m taking a guess that Nena, Tieria, and Ribbons are all somewhat related to Veda.

Well some interesting developments turned out this episode. We learn that Setsuna was involved with the terrorist group that killed Lockon’s parents. Their friendship and involvement as Gundam Meisters are challenged here. It’ll be interesting to see what else the Trinity siblings have dug up about the Gundam Meisters.

Setsuna and Tieria willingly fight against the Thrones. Lockon shortly joins them and Tieria exposes Nadleeh once again. This time we learn that Nadleeh has the ability to stop all functioning mobile suits in its range when it’s linked to Veda. Quite an interesting gundam.

More development with Saji and Louise happens. Louise tells Saji to leave her and head to space. I don’t see why Louise is pushing Saji away like this. Just because her hand is gone, doesn’t mean that she can’t be with Saji still. My guess is that Saji will play some sort of an important role in season 2.

Ribbons seems to be plotting something. I’m unsure what he has in store for us but I’m sure it’s something regarding Celestial Being. We also see at the end that someone gave info out about a secret Antarctic base with GN Drives. Things will definitely become interesting and intense.
