GUNDAM WING - REWATCH - 43 - 44

43. Target: Earth

Sally: What’s up bitch, bet you thought you saw the last of me

Why does Quatre know Wufei’s name??? According to my notes, he may have heard Dup say it in episode 17

This is the first time all the pilots are in once place, without being in their Gundams. EPISODE 43. 

I love that Heero and Duo are like we haven’t seen each other in a few arcs, but they go right back into bickering like an old married couple, it’s what we do best

Noin: Oh, Zechs? I guess we’ll just sit there and let him do whatever

Quinze (Spelt CANS for the rest of the recap for maximum effect) Why are you even still here when there is a 15 year old girl as Zech’s right hand?

CANS should have thought about what he was doing when he was recruiting for a terrorist organization if he has a problem with Zech’s tactics.

Noin watching Zechs do a thing: Zechs would never do that thing. 

It’s great that Trowa can just see Catherine in a newsfeed

I feel like Trowa picked Wing Zero because he had piloted Wing when Heero borrowed Heavyarms, but @mpanighetti reminded me he has no memory of that, and Wing Zero was the closest to the door... OK FINE

Relena has been known to fly into a battle between Heero and Zechs to try to break it up before. WHY NOT IN SPACE?!

How great would it be if it was revealed that Pagan was flying Relena’s shuttle?? That he’s secretly the most competent of any character, but he just chooses to be a butler. 

The head of the circus’ name is Manager??? Like Jeff Manager??? Is Manager is first name??

Oh, Manager likes Trowa now. 

Trowa going through all the emotions within the Zero system

For those of you on acid, Trowa’s flashback happened in the show

Quatre’s space heart means that he knows the moment Trowa’s memory comes back. What can’t it do?!

Deathscythe Hell is so damn awesome. The double scythe, the wings, the ribcage. SO GOOD

Zechs does not give a shit that he almost kills his sister. I’m beginning to think that maybe she really doesn’t have the ability to stop him. Hmm. 

Heero & Wufei: It was obviously Earth was the target. Are we the only ones who did the required reading?

44. Go Forth, Gundam Team

“Go forth, Gundam Team” is the thing the Scientist sHOULD HAVE SAID IN EPISODE 1

This is the worst lovers tiff ever. Treize hurt Zech’s feeling because he didn’t do a good job of pretending Zechs was dead, so Zechs is now gonna blow up the earth. They should just key each other’s mobile suits.

CANS is the worst cult leader ever, aside from dressing the part

Relena just slid into view WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY

Dorothy: What’s up, Relena. We have some catching up to do. Do you like my new uniform? It’s not pink, but it’s from the military

Noin, you gotta shape up and fly right; if you think Zechs is your friend we have a problem...

Wufei: I’m 2% less sure of my plan now that Duo agrees with me… 

Heero’s like, yeah I’m just gonna sit this team mission out and do some light tinkering

“I won’t be pushed around by you” Wufei, there is no one in that mobile doll, who you talking to? 

Dorothy is like, what if I leave this gun here and it goes off and maybe something would happen??? 

The Gundams are just running on floppy disks apparently?? The super advanced ZERO system can just be slotted into any old gundam? Also,

 I bet Heero finds the disk for Reader Rabbit in there. (I just dated myself)

What is Wufei doing? Just floating around meditating???

We’ll all just kick it in the cafeteria

I guess, we’re just going to go with the Enders Game plot here with Dorothy in the simulator 

The code is “ZERO” Heero is once again a strategic mastermind. Z3R0 it’ll help make it more secure, trust me. It’s called L337 and I’ll teach it to you all later (an A+ @mpanighetti​ joke)

Trowa needs to learn not to blow his load so early in the battle 

Dorothy strikes me as someone who has watched a lot of porn, and now things they can write a better version of the Kama Sutra

What’s this?! The Gudnam Pilots are actually good at their job? This is my shocked face. 

Ooh Dorothy and Quatre are totally drift compatible, right? They can see each other through the Zero systems? Or is this like whatever the fuck Rey and Kylo Ren had going on (I never watched the last one)

Sally: did we dodge it???;  Well, you’re not dead, Sally

Wow Dorothy, Maybe you’re zero military experience is beginning to show?? You done fucked that up, didn’t you??

I kinda dig the reluctantly enemies thing that Heero and Zechs have going on. 

Thoughts:

Based on all the promo pics from this show, this is what I would have expected all the episodes to be like: all the G-Boys hanging out in a spaceship, going out on missions, and fighting together from the go. But no, it took FORTY-FOUR episodes for this to happen, and even then Heero’s like, “pass.”

Can I just say that I love Dorothy’s arrogance and that Zechs is like “ugh I, a person who is barely an adult, can’t believe this literal child fucked this up while I was out fighting with another literal child.” CLASSIC.

What I think I remember for the next episode(s):

I honestly have no recollection of how we get from here to the last 2 episodes, even when looking at the episode titles. All the boys have piloted Wing Zero... so now we just need to get Treize into space and prepare for the final fights with everyone?

The G Gundam Rewatch! Episode 2

Alright, episode 2!

Today’s episode takes place in New York City! It’s just as jacked up looking as Rome. Everything is cracked and filthy (just like real life). Domon is in town because Neo America is the next nation on his list. What’s this list all about? Who’s the guy in the picture? You’ll find out. Also there’s a Gundam fighter there. Who this Gundam fighter? I’m gonna tell you.

The fighter for Neo America is the living embodiment of the American Dream, Chibodee Crocket. A man who bleeds red, white, and blue. He was once a mere street urchin, fighting to survive. Like really fighting. And not just other kids. I’m talking about giant adults. NOT TO MENTION WINNING. He was so good at punching adults that he got scouted and brought up to the colonies to be a boxer. And become a boxer he did! In fact he became the champ!

So, our boy was chosen as Neo America’s Gundam Fighter. He’s in town to fight the Earth...Champ...? But he’s not alone. He brought his girl crew and they’re pretty dang wonderful. Quality ladies, all of ‘em. I mean “crew” by the way. They make the Gundam go. Quality ladies. The people of New York love Chib’s by the way. He’s their hero, their inspiration and he in turn loves them! He fights to keep their dreams alive and not to let them down because he love’s America so damn much! SO. MUCH.

His Gundam is the magnificent Gundam Maxter! A boxing, surfing, footballer Gundam. It has beam six-shooters like a cowboy. Its shoulder armor comes off and attaches to its hands to act as boxing gloves. It’s chest armor comes of as well. What does that do you ask? Oh nothing much. It just reveals it’s AMAZING GUNDAM PECTORALS! I’m serious.

But It’s not just him. He’s got some shady government types with him, and they want to use Chibodee to worm their way up the success ladder (just like real life). They know Domon is in town and don’t want Chib-Dog to fight him because he’s dangerous. That actually makes some sense. Protect the meal ticket. Domon want’s to lay down a challenge and does the logical thing. He sneaks into Chibodee’s boxing match and beats up his opponent so he can take his place! Not sure how no one notices that Domon looks nothing like the champ, but hey, life’s funny.

As soon as Chibodee enters the ring good ol’ Domon attacks with the cheapest shot he can muster. He challenges our boy to a Gundam Fight Match and Chibodee accepts with vigor and fire! Then he chases Domon around the ring for a bit before landing a good shot on ‘em. Domon then makes his escape as security shows up. Later on, Chibodee sends one of his gal pals to deliver the location and time of their fight, but she gets kidnapped by the shady government types! They use mind control to have her deliver a bogus location so that they can ambush kill Domon! Can you believe that? I can.

Domon is lured into the ambush and quickly summons the Shining Gundam! Where was it hiding you ask? Oh, it was INSIDE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WHICH PROMPTLY EXPLODES. Meanwhile, Chibodee is waiting at the correct location which is a stadium packed with civilians. How that’s a good idea is anyone’s guess. They soon hear the sounds of the ambush and Chibodee quickly puts things together and makes his way over their. Via air surfing on his shield! He makes quick work of the g-men. By killing them.

It’s on now! The clash of the titans! It begins and ends just as quickly as we find out that Domon (or Shining) is stronger then Chibodee (or Maxter). Domon one shots Chibodee with a Shining Finger, destroying his arm. Chibodee demands Domon finish him of, to end his disgrace quickly. But just before Domon ends it, they hear the voices of the people! They’re still cheering for Chibodee! They believe in him! In America! Domon is moved, and opts to spare Chib-slice, who then swears to rise again and make his people proud. It’s beautiful. I’m proud.

All in all, a beautiful moment. A magical adventure. Not a great fight. I heart Chibodee Crocket. I’d like to think he hearts me.

The G Gundam Rewatch! Episode 24

So, we’re in Neo Hong Kong, everyone has made it. All the rivals and their crews and the like. Rain gets to be reunited with her dad, so that’s nice. But where’s Domon? Boy I sure hope he makes it in time, he only has three hours!

Back in Guiana, the pod has landed. Domon gets ready to head over when Master Gundam comes crawling out of the ground like a god damned zombie! Domon asks Master Asia what his damn deal is, so Master Asia goes “I’M THE MASTER DAMMIT!” and slaps the shit out of Domon. So Domon tells him to grow the hell up and then punches the crap out of him. They use their Finger moves on each other and collapse.

His Gundam down for the count, Domon hops out of Shining and makes a break for the drop pod. Master Gundam manages to get up and launch its arm at Domon. To Master Asia’s surprise however, Shining Gundam get’s in the way of the attack, being impaled in the process and using the last of its energy. Domon programed one last move before he got out of his Gundam.

Domon reaches the pod, but Master attacks and sends it sliding off the cliff along with Domon. He’s fine though. He crawls into the new Gundam, but it isn’t working. Something is wrong. Master Asia, on the other hand, is going on and on. Trying to get Domon mad again and get him to come out. It doesn’t work.

Meanwhile, in Neo Hong Kong, everyone is getting nervous. Domon only has an hour left to reach the finals! The Neo Japan folks detect that Burning is activated. However they realize that they need transfer the battle data of Shining into Burning. They will have Rain use a fancy Gundam headband that lets her use some kind of cyber telepathy to reach out to Domon. It’s because they’re so close you see.

So Rain manages to reach Domon, passing through his memories and seeing the important people in his life. This includes her, ooooo hoo hoo. Scandalous. She takes remote control of Shining Gundam somehow, and starts crawling over to Burning and Domon. The two Gundam’s hold hands as the data is transfered and its very romantic. Domon and Rain are technically having the moment, but it’s way better with the Gundam’s.

The Burning Gundam awakens, cradling its beloved Shining. Burning Gundam is radical! It’s a great example of a hero Gundam as well as a great example of a mid season upgrade. Take what Shining did and do it better. It keeps the samurai aesthetic as well as going a bit farther when it comes to details. There’s more going on over all, as there should be. Also, same color scheme.

Well, Master Gundam is no match for the Burning Gundam, even after regenerating. Burning Gundam stuffs him into the ground and BLOWS HIM UP WITH HIS JETS. He bids a tender good bye to Shining Gundam, and flies up into space. With not much time left, Domon BOUNCES BURNING GUNDAM OFF OF THE LASER ROPES SURROUNDING THE PLANET. The scaling makes zero sense but whatever. So he launches towards Hong Kong at super speed, the timer ticking down. As he approaches, he’s suddenly attacked by four unknown machines. They can’t stop him though, and he reaches the gathering point right as the clock strikes zero. He made it.

And so begins the tournament half of the show!
