Ultimately, each of the Gundam meisters is on a quest for identity. Setsuna is from a country that no longer exists and a faith he no longer follows. Krugis was absorbed into Azadistan, and after his experiences as a child soldier, Setsuna no longer believes in a god or higher power. Lockon is from a country that has fought tooth and nail for its independence for centuries, and he has to watch his country slowly fade out of existence. While Neil undeniably cares for the rest of the Ptolemaios crew, he doesn’t know who he is outside his quest for revenge. Lyle steps into the shoes and cockpit of a dead man and every time his crew mates look at him, all they see is the ghost of the brother whose shadow he is trying to escape. Allelujah is perhaps the most obvious case, given his DID. He tries to suppress Hallelujah and keep his alter hidden, but when he accepts his alter he is even stronger than before. Tieria was created by a computer and has to discover who he wants to be aside from his programming, what being an Innovator means for him and how to be walk the line of being both Innovator and human.

need to get this off my chest..

i want lyle to buy a fucking plushie, the cutest pink plushie he can find. just so he can make me hump it until its a dark pink— if i cant hump it n grind against it, he'll rub it all over my face then start rubbing it manually against my pussy. the plushie's color is darkened forever, it smells like my pussy all the time and he keeps it tucked neatly in his room. when im gone, he'll bite onto it and jack off because he just misses me so much.

lyle dylandy, i fucking love you.

Finished Gundam 00. My closing thoughts, in no particular order:

I’m glad that almost everyone has their happy ending and something to keep working toward

I enjoyed how Graham’s arc was about learning to live for something other than revenge (you may be noticing a recurring pattern with me). He spent most of season two being driven only by his desire to fight Setsuna again for honor, and how it closes with him finding something new to live for.

I still find Katagiri’s story a bit frustrating. Like yes Sumeragi shouldn’t have used his feelings to her advantage, but my guy. Becoming a fascist is already a bad idea, somehow it’s even worse when it’s motivated by relationship issues

Lyle killing Al-Saachez is just as deserved as if Setsuna had done it. I know we’d just had the whole big realization about the necessity of understanding each other, but Al-Saachez had no interest in trying to understand anyone else.

I was so upset about Tieria, but if he’s still alive inside Veda he’s not really gone. It’s like how in Ninjago Pixal went from an android body to being a program in Zane’s memory bank. Idk, it’s been a long time since I watched Ninjago

This show takes a very interesting philosophy on war. Wing asked more vague questions on the ethics of war, and what happens when you take humanity out of the fight and replace it with technology. IBO comes closest to truly analyzing the role of capitalism in war. But 00 questions the interplay of diplomacy and war, and how our approach to interpersonal conflict affects how we approach conflict on a broader scale. The message I feel 00 was aiming for is one that aligns with some of my core beliefs: in order for us to live at peace, we must see each other as equals and make every possible effort to understand each other. We may not always succeed, but if we approach our problems with the goal to find common ground and work together, the world will be a better place. Will it be perfect? No. But we don’t have to be perfect, we just have to try to be better

I’m really fascinated by the angle this show has on religion, sin, and deity. The religious themes are baked into the show, starting with a protagonist raised in a militaristic religious war, to the final villain being a man who wants to make himself God because he sees humanity as below him. There is also an element of guilt, the idea that there is blood on everyone’s hands. There is blood on the hands of the soldiers, but there is also blood on the hands of the civilians who choose to remain ignorant and look away. But the show does not say that we have to find a way to wash off that blood, only that we learn from the past and keep growing and trying to be better each day.

I did feel like all of this was slightly undercut by the fact that at the end, Celestial Being is still active. However, it did seem that Celestial Being would be looking less to act as they did in season one and more to work in conjunction with diplomatic forces, as a last resort when all else failed or intervening to help the innocent. I’m still a bit saddened that Setsuna doesn’t get to settle down and live a peaceful life, but that wouldn’t be realistic with him, to be fair. Marina says it herself, all he knows how to do is fight; if he cannot stop fighting, he has to change how and why he fights.

I really enjoyed this show overall. To be fair, there’s yet to be a single Gundam piece I wholeheartedly dislike, but I like a lot of how this story was told.

I feel like this one was a lot less character-oriented than other Gundam stories were. It works for this particular story, because like Wing, it’s interested in asking a broader philosophical question and less on the characters themselves in the situations. The characters’ backstories are important to why they choose to become involved with Celestial Being, but their life experiences did not have much influence on them otherwise. I do think that’s because the scope of this show was so big, and we as the audience are looking at this entire story from a much broader scope, so the extreme minutiae of character are less important than the broad strokes that lay the scene for a much bigger conversation.

and why would there possibly be twins in gundam DOUBLE 0 where counterparts are a MAJOR ELEMENT anyway. could it be... hmm....... thematic???? i'm going to scream it's 2024 we can't still be at this level of failing to grasp what is literally right here on screen

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE DYLANDY TWINS!!

I’m off by 21 minutes in my timezone as of posting this, but I got it finished before the day turned so that’s all that matters to me
