Which subber is better, Shinsen or Conclave?
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
conclave for better quality, but as for subbing idk.
Anyway as to this episode, I kinda found it annoying that everyone and their brother was crying. I like the look of Nadleeh, I wonder how much faster is that suit with all the armor gone. And did anyone think zero-system while watching Tieria and H/Alleluia?

Conclave by far. Shinsen's translation for the names and terms are awful. But if you can't wait this week, they work.
Shinsen missed the point that Tieria went from 'Ore', to 'Boku', to 'Watashi', very masculine to very feminine forms of "I".
That and the "Vader" translation. It's clearly "Veda" calling on the sacred scriptures of India as a name for..whatever it is.

Wow...Hallelujah had restored my faith in psycho Gundam pilots. The way he killed that guy was epic. I liked that everyone was crying though. It's good to see them suffering and lamenting their actions, it means they have some humanity and character. One thing that I felt wasn't done well was Christine, she recovered from her shell shock too quickly to be realistic.
As to Nadleeh, I don't see what the big deal is, from what it looks like it doesn't seem capable of much other then maybe being really fast since it's lighter. But if it's not supposed to be revealed until later what exactly could they have been planning to do later on that would require a Virtue with no heavy armor and hair?
They are doing a great job at making the Gundams and CB look like the bad guys. From Hallelujah being a sadistic bastard (though awesome) to the downright ruthless way Tieria kills people, and even Alejandro being a child molester (imagined, but come on) and Lui-Mei coldly pondering how incompetent they all are.
Even though Soma is supposed to be some soulless genetically modified soldier, she seems to have a really good sense of honor. That and her Taozi can sure take one hell of a beating. Those shots from Kyrios normally explode a generic mobile suit, but Soma took several barrages of it, even if Hallelujah was just toying with her.
By the way, Kyrios' scissor blade is one awesome weapon.
I'm still left trying to figure out why Saji and Louise are in the story. Comedy relief?
Im pretty sure theres a lot more to Nadleeh then just being a armorless Virtue. The only thing im worried about is that Nadleeh is TOO powerful. He took out those 6 suits like nothing. That brought back a flashback of GSD *shivers*.Originally Posted by Yukimura

Yeah, I'm sure there's something too it, I just can't figure out what it could be. It used the same cannon's as Virtue so I wasn't any more impressed by the firepower that I was with Virtue's (though I am amazed at the amount of fire power Virtue has). Other than potentially increased speed and maneuverability it just struck me as a poor display of a "secret ability". However this does at least explain what happened to GN-004...they built GN-005 around it.
great ep... yea CB really was the bad guy in this one. Also, suddenly Setsuna seems extremely normal.
Looking back on this made me think about Vision's of Escaflowne. Though I'd doubt they would do anything like that in this series, unless Tieria is actually a woman and hes just trying to hide it.

i guess you can't call win for CB or HRL, which is perfect. Nadleeh probably uses particals for weapon.

Well, well, this series certainly consistently continues on the action comedy path. I hope Sergei will get fired or a demotion, but I expect he will get a pat on the shoulder instead in this series. Well, maybe he at least learned that being greedy and wanting everything will lead to getting nothing but tears (plenty of those, though).
And I certainly don't expect them to learn anything at all and use neutron weapons the next time to kill the CB pilots. No, that would be too logical considering they wanted a Gundam and never mentioned wanting live CB personnel. After all, if you want to have the machine, it makes no sense at all to kill the pilot inside so that you could render the machine harmless and get it far more easily.
Also, it makes no sense to shoot at the enemy at the same time the enemy is shooting and thus dropping the magical shielding... No, better shoot when the enemy is recharging and safely shielded. After all, when you shoot at somebody, it would be bad if that somebody took damage. Kind of defeats the purpose of shooting at him... In Gundam, that is.
This is a hopeless series. And the Chinese girl is still running free. I guess the major powers have disbanded their own intelligence agencies. No wonder, though, considering how useless they seemed to be. Waste of money.
Well, Conclave didn't add a note about Tieria's feminine progression either, so I'm just glad I noticed it the first time. Looks like all of you who thought he was a she the first time may be right after all.
I'm just going to say it right now, if they have Hallelujah kill off Soma in their now obvious rivalry, I'm going to be really pissed. Hallelujah is a sadist, Allelujah is a wuss, but Soma has both honor and determination. She only lost her cool for a second, but she's also got sense enough to obey orders when she's angry. She's in the "enemy" mobile suit, the likeness to a Zaku is unmistakable, so her chances probably aren't too good.
I hope not. Soma is the best character so far.
Peace.
Well, I think the main secret of Nadleeh, as far as we've seen so far, is that it has the attack power of Virtue, but a lot more speed and manuverability. Virtue's beam and cannon weapons are the most powerful in CB within a certain range. It's only fault is that its slow. I you take the slowness factor off, you get Nadleeh.
/sarcasm
For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
@Kraco It's probably not a good idea to just go around randomly setting off neutron bombs right next to your fancy solar energy equipment.
That said Sergiei is kind of an idiot. I guess he never watched Gundam Wing when he was growing up or else he would have known that cornered Gundam pilots have a nasty habit of blowing themselves up to protect the secrets of their suits. Wrapping a suit up with a net might have impeded the suits mobility some (though this was also fairly ridiculous as well) but just because the pilot is freaking out over the comm and not firing at the moment doesn't mean he can't pull himself together and start shooting at any time...knowing that, maybe he shouldn't have just stuffed the thing into a space ship with a minimal escort and left.
Generally Soma did rather well this ep, except for her blissfully ignorant act of coming into extremely close proximity with her captured foe risking herself and her suit on the hope the pilot would rather be forcibly extracted, interrogated, possibly tortured, imprisoned and/or killed than blow himself up and take her out with him. Good Job...
Allelujah/Hallelujah seriously remind me a lot of Fei/Id from Xenogears and even more so since this is about mecha too.
And yeah, Nadleeh resembles Tallgeese quite a bit.

Only one Gundam was right next to the solar array, protecting the ship, the rest were flying here and there, and considering we are speaking about (nearly) zero gravity space, they could have been tens of kilometers away yet still be only a short flight away but a good distance for a neutron bomb.
Besides, it's the future; it's reasonable to assume they can build some manner of shaped charge neutron emitting nuclear weapons. And come on, man! What kind of weaponry did those HRL fools bring with them at all? Nothing but pea shooters. It's amazing they knew very well how effective and ultimately dangerous the Gundams are yet they didn't bring with them a single decent piece of heavy weaponry.
