Iok is a good reminder that one of the few things Gundam 00 did right was keeping Patrick in check from being Iok

Yay! The vid.me version isn't bad, but having the build up like Lemon-Lime's webm definitely seems to help things. I admittedly didn't expect someone to actually try to throw a version together just because I'd mentioned the lack of one.

Neddy Seagoon posted:They clearly did if their first leap of logic to McGillis' potential plans were "holy poo poo, he's going to try and snag himself an Order Sure but that was specifically the group of Gjallarhorn that were aligning themselves against McGillis. If you were already suspecting his motives, there's no way this was just going to be something small, otherwise why risk a secret meeting? And if their speculation was right, it doesn't mean they'd lay down and let McGillis elevate the Fareed family with another Order. But why take that risk? Unless it's enshrined in Gjallarhorn's rules as a thing, it's not really enforceable without just leaning on a tradition that's basically been buried and forgotten for 300 years because it hasn't been relevant. The Order, as it stands, doesn't really have a place in the modern Gjallarhorn. Even Vidar, in the subs at least, doesn't really bring it up as a concrete rule, just hearsay. I mean, we don't see the full meeting but the Order is only brought up during the meeting of the seven family heads as an accusation by Iok. There's no mention of there being an obligation to reward McGillis or Mika or Tekkadan with an Order. Plus, the whole idea was brought up by Vidar in the first place and it's not quite clear what his motives are. He doesn't seem to truly align with the Elion faction and is just using them.

No one has mentioned this so I thought that enough time has passed since airing that I'd put up a post about it. Just before Mikazuki destroys the Hashmal there is a shot of the underside of the Mobile Armour's head that clearly shows two of the symbol that was so prevalent on Barbatos during the first season (present on the knees and torso) and to a lesser extent the second (on it's sword-mace-club thing and an altered state on the knees).  I wonder If this is going to be referenced at all within the program regarding the Calamity War's history or if it was just an inconsequential detail. It's inclusion makes me think that it is going to be a plot point later in the season, otherwise why have it be there at all?

I mean one of the few conclusions you can make is that whoever made the mobile armors also made the gundams. Its not really far fetch given what we know, the economic powers probably hosed everything up by releasing a plague of autonomous wars and the only solution was to create the means to stop it themselves. It also makes sense that Agnika told everyone to go gently caress themselves after all they went through, because no way are they going to be in power after that so that it can happen all over again. It would be pretty funny if the real villain was some sort of Anaheim Electronics that was like the sole provider of military equipment for all the economic blocs and they flipped the switch on the MAs systems to go into genocide knowing that the economic blocs would have to pay for new equipment to get rid of them.

The gundam equivalent of Shinra is so good that I'm gonna be disappointed if it doesn't happen. I think that symbol is specific enough that it's not  to make that leap. If there wasn't a manufacturing connection between them then why even bother putting it there? It might also be a standard MS/MA decal but I don't recall seeing it on other mobile suits. Or other Gundams, actually, so perhaps the connection is just between Barbatos and the MAs?

McGillis's first-season exposition says that the Gundams were amongst the last suits built in the Calamity War. I'd guess that a few surviving defectors from whichever faction first built the Mobile Armours helped the rest of humanity build their nemesis. It'd also help explain how specifically similar their name-schemes are - not just angels and demons, but angels and demons that were prominent in late-second-millennium European mysticism.

So, apparently today's extra week of delay did produce another preview for next week. Gone from the twitter already, but it's... interesting. Flashbacks to when Naze and Amida first met. Naze looking sad but resigned while Amida looks away. Orga yelling into a monitor. No points for guessing what that adds up to.

Someone pointed out that after each remodel the Barbatos red chin part of the face armor keeps getting bigger. Like if it had a beard that kept getting bigger as time went on. Fitting for a suit named Barbatos. Someone posted a synopsis of the live event and I dont know why anyone would produce something that makes it so loving obvious that people are going to start dying soon. Like in two episodes soon.

Oh, hey, looks like the Hekija is Lafter's machine after all. Makes sense, I guess, but the Arianrhod colour scheme really threw me off. Unless she, like, stole it from Jasley's faction or something.

Teiwaz's MS's are the only ones that encase the legs completely like that (aside from the Rodhi's). The shoulder profile is also very reminiscent of the Hyakuri.

No, I know it's a Hyakuren frame, but the colour scheme and design similarities to the Reginlaze made me think it might be a Teiwaz/Gjallarhorn collaboration. That gun in particular looks a lot more like the Reginlaze's weapon, with its sleek-but-busy, almost organic design than one of Teiwaz's smooth, minimalist, no-frills pieces.

Also, just spotted that the forearm-knife locks the gun onto the wrist just like the weapons used by the Graze family, and the foot-thrusters apparently take inspiration from the Kimaris. Yeah, that has to be intentional. Raises serious questions about how Lafter gets her hands on one, though.

Manual info for the Hekija. While it remains unclear whether there was any direct technological exchange, it does indeed appear to be Teiwaz's answer to the Reginlaze, an early prototype of an advanced general-purpose machine incorporating elements from all variants of its predecessor units. One interesting detail from the Japanese text that's not translated into English is that its high performance and sensitive, responsive control system are designed to help it counter other factions' increasing use of Alaya-Vijnana-equipped child soldiers. Gee, that's not sinister at all.

Gee, that's not sinister at all. We've known that last part since the start of the season. Tekkadan humiliating the poo poo out of Gjallarhorn with just a bunch of AV'ed children was a real oops moment in that it suddenly made all those mercenary and pirate groups realize just how formidable a fighting force they could make on the cheap out of those lousy child slaves they have by the hundreds. Or can just grab off the street of any lovely town on Mars.
