This is one predictable episode. I mean, the title “Broken Wings” pretty much spoils any element of suspense that Sunrise’s scriptwriters can possibly muster, assuming they try at all.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam<\/p>\n

So yeah, the Gundams all get owned in a spectacular fashion, clearing the way for newer and better Gundams to take over the mess. G00, like most recent Gundams, is really just a series of 25-minute weekly commercials promoting Gunpla.<\/p>\n

Also, Liu Mei in se-ra-fuku<\/em>. :O<\/p>\n

Episode Summary<\/h3>\n

\"Gundam<\/p>\n

The HRL chose Taklamakan for the location of the military exercise because it has information that terrorists are planning to attack its enriched uranium facility there, ergo Celestial Being has to go there to stop the terrorists. This utterly makes no sense because the combined might of the entire world’s armies is going to be there, and I don’t think there are any terrorists stupid enough to mount an attack under such circumstances.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, we have three mobile suits and three cute little trucks conducting a head-on suicide attack while the entire world’s armies try hard to act blind and pretend to not notice. As storyline goes, this is as contrived a plot as it gets. Any more and we will have to invent a new word to describe it.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam<\/p>\n

And what’s even stupider is that Celestial Being actually takes the bait and sends four measly Gundams to destroy a small group of terrorists in the middle of a desert crawling with nearly one thousand Union, AEU and HRL mobile suits. I mean, seriously? I’m sure HRL would’ve taken care of the terrorists on their own if they realized that the Gundams weren’t going to show up after all.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nIf only Virtue could fly<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nAllelujah didn’t do much<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nLockon should watch his back around Graham…<\/p>\n

So anyway, the Gundams all get pwned after this. Kyrios is captured by the HRL, Virtue by the AEU and Dynames by the Union. Exia almost fell to the French thanks to Ali’s new mobile armor, but a timely deus ex machina intervention by one of those new Throne Gundams saves Setsuna’s day.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nEnact is backwards compatible with a Solar Conflict relic<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nGod is here<\/p>\n

Screencaps<\/h3>\n

\"Gundam
\nWhiny bitch<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nObligatory airtime<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nKyrios and Dynames mating<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nThe new bitch<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“They should really keep me informed beforehand about these traps.”<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“Hold steady damn it!”<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nDynames cheating on Kyrios with a Realdo<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“We totally didn’t notice this huge row of Tierens as we rushed into this obvious trap.”<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“Nope, didn’t notice these either.”<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nMan, Realdos look lame<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“If my calculations are correct, we should be completely pwned by now.”<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nIs that her school uniform?<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nGN bazooka in burst mode<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nThe perfect desert camouflage<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“I will make you a man.” Actual quotation<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nThe design makes no sense<\/p>\n

By the way, Mendoi-Conclave’s<\/a> episode 14 is super delayed because we are still finishing up the karaoke effects. Personally I don’t really care that much about karaoke, but I’m not the one making the decisions. It should be out soon together with episode 15. (Our new tracker is here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Probably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
