lol Minerva is the ship now and since AA has served its purpose in Seed.

Now i look forward to grabbing a copy of Newtype magazine when it comes out in May (but its gonna hurt my pockets a little) cos it has nice Gundam pictures inside every issue…

My next avatar should be lacus so look out for it :D

Majek

Lacus eh? good, very good :)

Forte EXE

Nice….My friend over in the Gundam Seed forums has a Freedom+Meteor avatar....

Majek

so has anyone seen ep 24 yet? i'd like ot but i can't play it onm my old comp so i ahvne't even bother to dl it.

StrawHatLuffy

Yep I did. Spoilers aheead:

From what I understood from their covo, Kira said something about not trusting chairman dillundal and then Athrun retaliated by asking whether Kira had seen or heard whatever that chairman has been doing - he wants a quick end. Then Kira mentioned about the fake Lacus and Lacus's assisanation and Athrun was stunned. That damned Luna was eavesdropping!!!

Miriaria was like "huh?" when she heard Athrun mention Dearka.. lol…

And Rey got that "Rau Le Crusset-not-eaten-my-medicine" reaction when he saw something at the end.

Majek

damn. sounds interesting :D hopefully i'll convince my dad to give me back my comp …. :|

Arthur's being a baka, maybe cause he's been spending too much time with Shinn. I mean, didn't he learn from the previous experience not to trust anyone. Now he's completely trusting Dullindal & Zaft while labelling AA (along with its crew) a bunch of idiots.

I wonder who sent Luna? Herself or Captain Gladys? I wonder how she'll react after hearing this.

Miriaria was like "huh?" when she heard Athrun mention Dearka <–--- :blink: I gotta see that, hope that meant something :P

From what I can see from picture-clips, Rey was shocked at looking some kind of tube or something. From previous episode spoilers that STrawHatLuffy mentioned, they were at EAF lab where people like Stellar was made. Does this mean Dullindal was involved in the lab!?

Thank you for the spoiler StrawHatLuffy

Forte EXE

Thnx for the spoiler.
I wonder if Dullindal is involved somehow…..
Well,I wonder that the Destroy Gundam will make its appearance soon....

StrawHatLuffy

Finally got to finish the special eps of Gundam Seed that Anime-Kraze has released. Some new scences including the face of Rau Le Crusset :D

Here's some screens:

Croto's new death (by Dearka)
http://img222.exs.cx/img222/3515/bscap0220pq.jpg
http://img222.exs.cx/img222/591/bscap0197cc.jpg

http://img223.exs.cx/img223/5853/bscap0218yn.jpg

And a sign that Mu is probably not dead since they removed his helmet after Strike was busted. I wonder if this has anything to do with Neo..

Before:

After:

Now for HIS face:

Knight

Thank you for the pictures StrawHatLuffy. You great contribution is this thread is always greatly appreciated :D

I really hope that Mwu's helmet don't mean anything. I mean, Strike was literally melted by the beam. His death was a tragic but it was very heroic. It would kind of ruin the moment to see him alive now, especially that he's now on the other side…...the 'dark' side. Besides, I kinda like the interaction between Andrew and Murrue now :P

Any new scenes added between Deakka & Milliaria in the special episode StrawHatLuffy? :)

Wow, Rau's face the long awaited face finally revealed. I'm glad he wore a mask during the series. It brings out the evile more out of him

Majek

hehehenice pics. and great avi man :)

StrawHatLuffy

I really hope that Mwu's helmet don't mean anything. I mean, Strike was literally melted by the beam. His death was a tragic but it was very heroic. It would kind of ruin the moment to see him alive now, especially that he's now on the other side…...the 'dark' side. Besides, I kinda like the interaction between Andrew and Murrue now

lol, yea. It was kinda impossible for him to block a positron (aka positive electron) beam in the first place and many laws of physics and if he survives, I think he might not be human. There are some speculations going on that Neo is one of the failed clones of Al Da Flaga..

Any new scenes added between Deakka & Milliaria in the special episode StrawHatLuffy?

Nope, not any that I can remember.

You can get it from Anime-Kraze site @ http://www.anime-kraze.org/

EDIT: There's op 3 in phase 25… cool :D :lol:

Knight

WOW, episode 25 is out and I hear people saying that it has a new opening.
Would anyone please comment on the song and visuals shown? Any major spoilers from the opening? :P

I, for one, would enjoy a bit more shots of AA and its crews

StrawHatLuffy

wahahaha there is a major spoiler XDXD

I will attach the screens. You can download the 10mb clip from a torrent.. http://www.point-blank.cc:7000/torrents/%5…62ed6ffcaaefd5f

The song seems ok-ish..

Knight

Thanks for link and pic StrawHatLuffy :D

Hmm, didn't quite get a good look at Destiny & Nu-Freedom (which actually is true, at first I thought it was just rumour), as everything in the opening went by fast. Was it Nu Freedom that appeared first followed by Destiny somewhere in the middle?

Typical of Gundam Seed, their opening reveals so many secret :lol:

Three things bother me from the opening (SPOILERS ALERT):

1. As StrawHatLuffy predicted, looks like Mwu might still be alive. It's not I dislike Mwu, it's just that I like to see the rythm between Murrue & Andrew but now looks like Mwu is back in the picture

2. That baka Arthrun keeps walking farther away from Cagalli T_T

3. Is the pilot of Destroy Gundam who I think it is!?

StrawHatLuffy

Unfortunately, yes :( Destroy gundam's pilot might be that…

hehe if Mu really is alive, he really made the impossible possible... xD

Have to wait for the subs, in the meanwhile, some screens..

OMG, is this Meer trying to lacus-ify herself? You can she is not lacus from her skirt. XD

New Sponsors screen, the nice pic we have been seeing from May Newtype scans (damn I must get that issue ASAP)

And it's interesting to see that they used Nu-Freedom as the silhouette for the title screen instead of Destiny. Is this becoming Kira's show again? :lol:

Knight

:lol: Whose the afro dude!? Is that who I think it is (the scar is the hint). Oh man , I can't stop laughing from that. Is afro a trend in anime now (Yakitate Japan & OP).
Nice disguise by those two but they're taking a big risk. Maybe….just maybe Deakka will step in to save them later on and join AA (crosses finger)

WOW yes, go sponsors, support Kira. Kira owns Shinn :P

Is Destroy Gundam's pilot is really that person then it's quite unexpected and a great twist, which has been spoilt by the opening :rolleyes:

One last thing I need to mention after looking at the new opening again......WHAT IS ARTHRUN BECOMING!? Gundam Playboy of the year? Did anyone take a look at his scene on the opening. I think he broke the record of all the Gundam guys in history.

StrawHatLuffy

Oh, I was thinking it had to be Meer and didnt realize that he might be there. wahahahaha/..

It's really a twist, I was thinking that it could be Neo… and it seems like Kisaka is back.

And WTF is Athrun doing? Abandoning Cagalli? hmmm...

hehe I think the series should be renamed Gundam Seed Freedom.

Knight

I didn't notice him at first either. I noticed it because I didn't like Meer and I was looking at the picture thinking how she can smile on other people's popularity. That's when I noticed the 'afro' dude with funny spectacles :lol: Actually the summary of preview episodes that you posted also helps too StrawHatLuffy :)

My memory is playing tricks on me. Who is Kisaka again?

StrawHatLuffy

Cagalli's bodyguard back in Seed.. More spoilers are here. Actually you can get a lot of news from http://aeug.blogspot.com.

Spoilers:
spoilers:
ep 26 "Promise" - Shinn shivers after seeing Earth Alliance's enhanced human research facility. He defeats Gaia, which came to defend the facility. But he finds out the pilot is Stellar. Shinn brings her to Minerva's medical room where he finds out the truth, she is an "extended", an enhanced human being. Lacus tells Kira that she is going to PLANT.

ep 27 "Unreachable Feelings" - Djibril reprimands Neo after losing Stellar. Meanwhile Stellar is groaning onboard Minerva's medical room. She is an "extended" meaning she cannot maintain herself without the medicine. She cannot live without the Earth Alliance. In order to recapture Stellar, Neo orders his forces to block Minerva's path. Seeing EA/Orb and Minerva on another collision course, Archangel moves again.

ep 28 "Those who survive, those who die" - Minerva battles against Earth Alliance and Orb forces. While Shinn and Athrun struggle against Chaos and Abyss, Freedom and Archangel come to their rescue. Angered at the presence of Archangel, Shinn goes into berserk mode and takes out the enemies.

ep 29 "FATES" - Dullindal begins to talk about the past. Memories of those who have died and ones who continue to fight come across his mind.

from may issue of newtype.

Knight

Thanks for the episodes summary StrawHatLuffy :)
I wonder…..how many past/reacp episodes do they need in one Gundam Seed series? I thought we had a recap not too long ago.

Man, episode 28 is something to be looked forward. Shinn, I dislike your character even more now. You and your childish arrogance & anger. Even Arthrun is falling low by believing everything that Dullindal say. I wonder if it's a contagious disease in Minerva. I mean, as a veteran of the previous war, he should know better than to completely trust someone.

Majek

woah ep 30 might be even more fun that 28 :lol:

must download the raw ASAP.

edit: interesting. can't wait for the subs :wacko:
and that Destroy gundam woah whn it's introdoced i bet that something big will be destroyed :o

Forte EXE

I want that Dullin All's base/house/country to be destroyed first.
useless piece o' crap

StrawHatLuffy

huh?

Just watched the subbed version. So Athrun did not really fall out with AA after all.. And from the opening, we are seeing less of Cagalli!!! nooo… Does this means that something bad is gonna happen to her? Hmm and it seems like her relation with Athrun is gonna sour.. sigh..

Knight

I don't think anything's going to happen to Cagalli. I think the song signifies that Arthur will get farther away from Cagalli, mainly because competition and how Arthur is more into Minerva than AA.

For some reason. GSD really puts people's love relationship to the test.

Forte EXE

The new intro is really cool?
It shows…SPOILERS.

Stella with the Destroy.

StrawHatLuffy

ahahaha, I am still worried about the Cagalli dying part XD She is the no2 fav. female character on my list.. Oh well..

And here comes the official profile of "Super Freedom" codenamed Nu/Freedom from the official destiny site @ http://www.gundam-seed-d.net/mechanics/main5.html

Super Freedom Gundam: "The final trump card which was developed to break the deadlocked situation between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT that continues to cause more confusion. It possesses several times the combat ability of the Freedom thanks to a new type of engine, etc. One characteristic is the golden color of the joints."

Looks cool to me :lol:

Forte EXE

Wow…just wow.
I'm going to send this pic to all my frnds.
THNX A LOT!

Knight

Thanks for the Freedom picture StrawHatLuffy. I reall like the new wing and some of the parts that are painted gold. It may be a biased opinion since I'm more of a fan to Kira than Shin but I think that Nu Freedom looks better than Destiny. However, will they really name it Super Freedom? I think that Nu Freedom sounds better.
Anyone know its specs or special capabilities?

StrawHatLuffy, I don't think you need to worry. Cagalli is the least character you would expect to die because she has an important role in Orb once the war has ended. I'm more worried about the others because I'm very sure that at least one known crew from AA or Minerva will die.
However, I really do feel sorry for Cagalli because she is the one that needs most sympathy at this point of storyline. Her country turned her back on her, her lover gave her the cold shoulder and her believe as well as her father's death was deemed useless by Shinn

Majek

damn no HAro^Tori sub yet. :(

Nu Freedom looks great. two beams sabers on the waist eh? and ever more combat ability? so it can make piruettes in the air now? :lol:
can't wait to see it introduced. i wonder who made it or upgraded or whatever. and i agree it does look better that Destiny.

[snapback]29164[/snapback]**

Well at least Cagalli still has his brother and her AA crew..

If someone from AA is gonna die, I hope its one of the more "useless" ones. I like all of them ;)

As for the new freedom specs, http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/sfreedom.htm has them. I think Nu/Freedom is its codename while Super freedom is its "conventional name" much like the codename of Freedom, whcih was ZGMF-X10A

OMG!!! I got this from a forum and they said they got this from a japanese blog:

PHASE-28「残る命、散る命」
クレタ沖の激戦の最中、ミネルバは再び現れたアークエンジェルによって危機を救われたが彼らの身勝手な行動を納得できないシンは連合への攻撃を続け、またフリーダムにはセイバーが立ちはだかる。
攻撃を続行するミネルバを阻止しようとするアークエンジェル、しかしその結果ルナマリアが被弾、ミネルバは窮地に立たされる、大切な者の命が脅かされるさまを再び目の当たりにしたシンの中で力が目覚めâ€¦

PHASE-29「悔恨の空」
シンの目覚めた力により、窮地を脱したミネルバ、ルナマリアの命に別状がないことに安心するシン、またルナマリアは命がけで自分を救ってくれたシンを見直す。
アスランは今まで散っていった者達、命を脅かされたミネルバクルー達の事を思いカガリの死を割り切ろうとするがâ€¦
一方フリーダムが損傷し、カガリを失ったアークエンジェルは補給のためスカンジナビアに向かっていたが、そこへ同じく帰還途上のファントムペインが襲い掛かる

PHASE-30「哀しみは宇宙へ」
ついにプラントにおいてデュランダルと対面したラクス、デュランダルの真意を問うラクスに、彼は、ラクス暗殺の司令を出したのは自分であると告白し、ラクスの存在がプラントにとってどれほど危険であるかを語る。
一方シンとアスランはデュランダルの命令によりプラントに戻る事に地上に置いていくことになるステラを心配するシン、またカガリの死を割り切る事が出来ないアスランは同じシャトルにに便乗したミーアに対してつらく当たってしまう

Which translates to

Phase 28 - Life remained, Life gone - In the fiercest battle of Kulador (Katakana, don't blame me.), The Minerva was saved by the ArchAngel, but Shinn continues the attack on the EA, and the Freedom confronts the Saviour.

Phase 29 - The sky of Regret - ArchAngel tried to stop the Minerva, which was in pursue of the EA, but resulted in Lunamaria taking a hit, and once again the Minerva is in a pinch. Shinn, who have a person important to him which was in danger, the Seed in Shinn's eyes again awakens…

Shinn's strenght awakened, and let the Minerva escape from the pinch. Shinn is relieved that Lunamaria's life is alright, and Lunamaria went honest with the saviour of her life, Shinn.

Athrun is torn... between the comrades he lost, the Crew of the Minerva whose lives were threatened, and Cagali's death...

Phase 30 - Towards a sorrowful Space(Sky) - Lacus, who confronted Dullindal in the PLANT, asked for his true intention. He, however, responded by confessing that he is the mastermind behind the operation of her assasination, and also said that her mere existance is threatening PLANT.

Back on Earth, Athrun and Shinn recieved orders from Dullindal to return to PLANT. Shinn, who left Stellar in safe hands, and a still mourning Athrun [over Cagali's death], got onboard the same shuttle, and encountered Mia.

sobs Though I really hope this is not true…

Another quote:

"Specifically Episode 28 ^^ Well, as most have been predicting, in this episode, Shinn attacks Strike Rogue. As Strike Rogue disappears into the ocean, Athrun screams Cagalli's name. She does not die, but is MIA. This was from a forum I frequent and the source is from BonBon."

Comforts me a bit ;)

I am becomeing a hopeless fanboy XD

Forte EXE

NOOOOOOOOOOO!
runs away
CAGALLI MUST NOT DIEEEEE!
koff
They just HAD to kill her off.

StrawHatLuffy

I really hope that she isnt killed but only that her Strike Rogue is damaged. Well, since this is not from any of the magazines, we cannot confirm it yet. They are as good as 2-chan rumours XD

And I bet I will really cry if she died.

Forte EXE

Course you will.
pats SHL's back

Majek

SHOCK damn i know i said post spoilers but please don't post something that you're not sure it's true. my heart almost stopped when i read "and Cagali's death…" :(
i feel better now that i've i read your post to the end but still whoooh. :|

well if these summaries are real :
i wonder how did kira reacts to whatever happens to Cagalli. he just let's Shinn get away? even in Seed mode a battle between these too would be one sided at the moment.

if they're not real well i'll wait for the real ones :)

drifts away still a bit shaken

StrawHatLuffy

If that really happens, Kira will throw away his no-kill policy and start on a universal raping with Shinn as his first target..

We shall have to wait and see…

Knight

WOW, I didn't see this thread for a few days and I'm confronted by a massive story.
I don't think Cagalli will die…...imagine the rage by Cagalli fanboys (including StrawHatLuffy) to Sunrise. This might be similar to Kira's MIA situation back in Seed. Maybe her MIA status is where she'll be saved by Kisaka.

However, the summary story of episodes 28-30 that was posted the first time and second time kinda contradicts each other. I wonder which one is true, hopefully not the second one :P

For some reason, after reading the episodes summary, everyone in Gundam Seed Destiny really ticks me off (apart from everyone in AA though), especially Shinn.......and Arthur. Kira, you're my last hope of teaching then a lesson.

One question, anyone has a theory of how Kira will get his Super Freedom. Shinn's Destiny will probably be produced by PLANT but what about Super Freedom? Will it be the work of EAF, PLANT or ORB's underground movement (the creator is that hot scientist from ORB)

StrawHatLuffy

Probably one of the junk guild (some independent group that was featured in the Astrray manga, I would love to see them animated) or most propbably Orb. It might also be the remaining Clyne faction in PLANT ;) I think it is highly impossible for the EAF to be making it.

And your Kisaka saving Cagalli theory makes sense, he has always been her bodyguard anyway ;)

Anyway, preview for ep 27 came out earlier on GSD's site @ http://mbs.jp/gundamseed-d/bb/gundamss27_kain.asx

The chairman is seen again, most probably on Minerva. A fight is going on again between Orb and Minerva. AND ETERNAL IS STILL THERE! Screenshot is below. And the "thing" the narrator mentions at the end of the preview is Archangel. And I could only make out the starting portion saying "Why are we fighting? What do we fight to protect?" Sounds poetic XD It has long since any spoiler has been included in the words of GSD previews…

Majek

can't wait for tommorow and the raw :)

StrawHatLuffy

well there is some weird suit between Impulse and Destiny (well i think that those twp are that ) that i don't know. do you know what it is?

StrawHatLuffy

No, I have no idea..

Just got the raw, and they played Stellar's song again :D Damn, the OSt comes out next week and I can't wait to hear the full version of that song. And at the ending when Lacus and Andrew is in a shuttle, it really looks like a dejavu with missles flying at them and kira coming out to save them at the last moment… XD

Andrew awestruck as Lacus signs autographs in the place of Meer who was acting as Lacus in the first place…

Forte EXE

OH GOD!
Its Aokiji!

StrawHatLuffy

XD

Well, it kind of reminds me of Aokiji.. But anyway this time saiyaman's raws seem to have improved in quality and somemore, the preview for the next ep seems different from the one they had on the website. It seems rushed. Probably cos they were out of time at the broadcast.. shrugs

Majek

yeah that bit when Lacus was pretending to be Meer was great. and juding formt he speed she singed those pic she must've signed a lot of autographs in her day :lol: and the faces she made when Freedom appeared :D this ep was fun :D

StrawHatLuffy

http://www.lwq.buildtolearn.net/chuayw/ind…p?p=home&no=248 <– scrolldown for a nicer picture of NU/Freedom :D Enjoy....

the PV for the ending is out, you can find them at www.tokyotosho.com and of course, along with them are the MP3 rips….

The ending sounds good :D

Majek

everywhere i look they talk about Caggalli's "death" . i wish that that damned ep will be here soon so we can finally see what happens. <_<

StrawHatLuffy

There's another followup to that rumour from the same source. It doesn't even make sense. The worst part is that Minerva is going to be destroyed. I don't see how that can happen. So, I am not bothering to post it here.

My conclusion: It sounds like a 2chan rumour.

yeah i've seen that at animeSuki forums. i guess i'l just have to stop reading these rumors or "confirmed spoilers" if i want to remain sane.

StrawHatLuffy

I have learnt that the only things to trust are the rumours magazines like Newtype or Gundam Ace. Even then, they should be taken with a grain of salt.
