The colar is now a big thick solid yellow, has a yellow trim around the wrist, and his chest thing, which were just one green and one white stripe are now doubled. Looks like he might outrank Capt. Ramius from a comparison. Seems kool to me!

Druna Skass Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Just got done watching 45, and all I can say, is they definataly forgot about the Girty Lue and remembered about it when they were trying to come up with this episode. The way it went down was so anti-climactic, I swear it went something like this: Crappy writer 1: Uhh, how should we kill Djibril? Crappy writer 2: ...Hey what if we put him on the Girty Lue and blow it up? Crappy writer 1: What's the Girty Lue? Crappy writer 2: You remember, that one blue ship in the beggining? That ship just went down way too easily, I guess that ship isn't equipped with Laminated Armor. These so called writers should be kept away from all anime projects for the rest of their lives.

Athrun, Murrue, Myu/Neo, Andy and Kisaka are all Colonels. Others characters in AA also have been promoted such as Mili and Arnold Neuman. Check out AnimeSuki for more info.

azrael Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) Hmm I really dont think that AA had the ability in SEED to submerge. I brought this up once when that ep aired when AA escaped by submerging. Maybe I am DUMB and missed the part at GundamOfficial.com where it said that the AA was capable of submerging. If so show me where I missed it. If they could submerge, they would have faced the ZAFT submarine fleet. Not to mention AA had lots of holes already... But I doubt AA had that capability back then.

The colar is now a big thick solid yellow, has a yellow trim around the wrist, and his chest thing, which were just one green and one white stripe are now doubled. Looks like he might outrank Capt.

Panon Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Hey, don't you love nepotism. Orb in GSD shows why things are so damn wrong with these idiotic kingdoms and emirates. Cagalli promotes her brother who has no formal military practice... ha ha, so funny. I didn't even pay attention to that part of the show until today. Sad..... He's been the one giving the orders on Archangel since the beginning so he's not completely without command experience. Not that the actions taken by the Archangel and the various disasters resulting from them speak too well of his actual command ability.
Anubis Posted August 29, 2005 Author Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) I kind of like how Legend's two big Dragoons can be used as drill bits. Djibril's death was nice and graphic. Also note how fast he is with his Dragoons when he lights the Girtly Lue up. Faster then Kira's. "Thank you Djibril, and goodbye." Yzak's group's attacking the first relay was integral too, which was cool. Have them do something important too. Cagalli is still a dumbass too. Thank god she stays in Orb. She shows how much of a cold beyotch she is again though. She could have at least had a short discussion with Athrun, which she didn't, and then she didn't say goodbye. Cagalli may be the head of Orb but no matter how busy she is she should be able to spare a few minutes for the guy. Screw her. Simply showing up without the ring and ignoring him was screwed up. Meyrin should win hands down. I kind of hope Dullindal slings a few nukes at Orb when he goes for the EA remnants. Finish that once and for all. Edited August 29, 2005 by Anubis
azrael Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 There will be time later for those 2 to talk. Cagalli was crying as she finished talking to Meyrin. She was obviously hurt by what she did but it's best for the both of them that they carry on the relationship once all has been settled and once there is time for it. Cagalli never gave back the ring. So there's still a chance, once all is done. And she didn't say goodbye because then she would want to go with him. And she couldn't do that. If Athrun wants to try again, he knows where to find her. Now on to some spoilers (Thanks to the kids at Seed-Forum): Phase-48 "To a New World" The people sense the end of war, and to them Dullandal suddenly announces the introduction of the "Destiny Plan", where people will be graded on their genes and put in the right place according to how their aptitude is judged. Shinn is perplexed, but is persuaded by Rey to "trust the chairman". Meanwhile, the EA base(s) reluctant to go along with the Plan suddenly have a bombardment rained down on them! In an instant, many lives are lost. Even though it is by her former lover, his inhuman acts makes Talia's fists tremble. Kira and Athrun sortie to prevent Dullandal's ambition. Beliving in Dullandal, Shinn and Rey head out to stop that. As though guided by fate, both sides mass large forces. Now, the curtain raises to the start of the final battle! -Starting from ep 48, the karma between Kira and Rey comes to light. -Suffering from a sudden disaster, Rey grasps in his hand the same medicine Creuset once used... -In phase-49, seeing Yzak go to punch (?) Athrun is a must see. Comments: I get the feeling Rey will run into hard times with Kira and require some performance-enhancing drugs... I guess punching Athrun is Yzak's way of saying "Hi, how you doin?". This is probably where they hand over the evidence against Dullindal. Non-spoiler: -The last ep, phase-50 will broadcast on 1st October, from 17:30-18:00.
kalvasflam Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) No more Orb would be good. But unfortunately, Seed without Orb would never work in Fukuda's world, after all, Orb represents Japan, have to be a Japanese centric show. Heh heh. As for Cagalli, well, crying is apparently all she is good for. Meh..... good riddance I say. Panon, he may have had informal ad hoc suggestions to the AA command crew, but that is a long way from true command capacities. AA seem to be run on a friends basis now that there is no formal command structure. For example, Neumann could jump ship tomorrow, and no one would go after him. Actually, that's not true any more since he is a part of Orb. But still, a good pilot doesn't make a good field general. And as a commander, Yamato would need to be buried up to his neck in paperwork. As far as Dullindal is concerned, the spoilers below seem to indicate that he is in fact a moron. Having consolidated power as he has done in ep 45. He is now moving too fast and making sure others turn on him. That would suddenly mean his opposition would have people rallying around them. The smarter move would've been to take down Orb first. If nothing else, Gilbert can point to a mass set of evidence that Orb and AA has sheltered Jibril and company, demand Orb disarm, and that they turn over Athrun Zala (a traitor) and Kira for their instrumental role in helping Jibril escape, and of course dismantle AA. The point is, gradually whittle down all military opposition before unveiling the ultimate plan. Edited August 29, 2005 by kalvasflam
Druna Skass Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 "Both sides...mass forces..." Either Orb has a big space fleet know one knew about, or all the scattered Alliance ships rally around the Archangel. I'd like to see Talia be the one to finally off Gilbert.

As for the big fleet, Orb is probably getting what's left of EA, and the people from CF. (which might actually be a lot, since it's still not obvious how big CF is)

Seriously . . . you've got to be f-ing kidding me. They do realize that there's what only three episodes left. ANd I thought we SAW 90% of the recap footage of her in this episode. Not to mention we had a recap episde about 6 episodes ago. Seed Destiny is starting to remind me of the second episode of the animated clerks series. The sheer laziness of the staff on this entire production amazes me. But we did learn that Arthrun is a badass with a pistol. Edited September 4, 2005 by slideshot
ChrisG Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 But we did learn that Arthrun is a badass with a pistol. 325814[/snapback] Athrun has always been a badass with guns, even back in SEED. Early on in DESTINY, he wowed all the ZAFT newbies with his target practice skills at the shooting range.
kalvasflam Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 And we also learned that ZAFT commandos are still bloody idiots. There were five of them. They had the high ground, all they had to do was jump out and sweep the field with their machine guns. Instead they relied on one sniper in a horribly bad position. So, I see Fukuda isn't limiting idiocy to just EA, although they got the heaviest dose. Fukuda is indeed running the super robot show.
