Gundam 00 - 22




This episode proved quite good. We see that Lockon did in fact survive. His only real injury is his right eye. I’ve no idea if it’ll heal, however he’s supposed to be back up and running in 3 weeks. I doubt he listens to this advice in the end. Also the damages on Dynames seem great. It was said they’ll have to replace most of the unit. Lockon also meets up with Tieria to comfort him. He feels like the big brother in this series to me.
It seems that the name of these "fake GN Drives" are GN Drive Tau. Graham’s Flag fighter seems to be getting a GN Drive Tau modified for it. It’ll be interesting how long the Flag will run with a GN Drive. It might be able to top a GN-X unit. It’s been regrettable that Graham hasn’t had much airtime lately. I kind of miss him shouting off his gundam phrases.
More GN-X units attack the Trinity siblings as they are resting. Their GN Drives are almost out of battery life, so Johann advises them to keep the fighting to a minimum. Soma feels like some unbeatable super soldier at this point. I’m really hoping someone puts her in her place in the next couple episodes.
Later after the battle, Ali shows up and uses morse code in his Enact to signal to the Trinity siblings. He shoots Michael right away and is able to subdue Johann. While Johann gets into Eins, Ali rewrites the security coding for the Zwei and takes off in it. This to me really seems unbelievable. However, they were stupid enough to stay outside of their suits while an unknown Enact was hovering over them. Ali kills Johann and then moves onto Nena. Luckily for her, Exia and the GN-Arms save her.
Ribbons opens the chamber that held Aeolia’s coffin for Alejandro. He shoots the coffin, however we don’t know for sure if Aeolia is dead. That could have been bullet-proof glass. This triggers a trap within Veda, which allows the Trans-Am system for the original 4 GN Drives to be used. Because of this, Setsuna is able to evade Ali at god-like speed in Exia. Setsuna literally toys with Ali at this point. However, Ali manages to escape with the Zwei.
The next episode shows Lockon firing at Ali. He looks eager to pull the trigger. I’m guessing he wants to take revenge for his parents. We also see the GN-Arms on Dynames which will be interesting.
