Gundam 00 Second Season Spoilers and Discussions

Just read report on the Gundam 00 portion of the 555 Fest and omg soooooo many good spoilers. Report came from this awesome blog which has been good with keeping track of things. This is the more detailed version of the last spoiler post on this comm which is probably taken from this source.

Translated the important parts (like the dialogues and monologues).

Seems like the videos they showed at this portion (not the trailer but at the actual event portion with seiyuu) are from the Episode 1 of 2nd season. And damn is it good.

This is a report of a blogger who recounted what happened at the event. This is dependent on this person's memory. Still, this person should have the gist down. !



The blog gives "天使再生" (Angel Reborn) which I think is the title of ep 1. Could be wrong though.

Tieria finds Setsuna at Lagrange 4, 2312 AD

Tieria: You've changed quite a bit.
Setsuna: You haven't changed at all. Still the same as back then.
Tieria: I hear that a lot. What have you been doing until now?
Setsuna: Traveling.

[<3 aw ;o; banter]

Inside a spaceship, 2312 AD

Tieria
"To us back then, the sense of us being companions and even comrades was rare. You can even say we were hostile to each other."

[T/N: companions = nakama; comrade = senyuu; "Nakama" is a tricky word with different nuances and meanings. Before in a magazine, I translated "nakama" as "comrade" but here, Tieria makes the clear distinction that "nakama" is something more than a comrade, which "companion" is a decent translation for. It's something between comrade and friend.]

Setsuna
"How we're able to talk like this is also because of him. Lockon Stratos..."

[Excuse me while I BAWWW T_______T 00 hurts so good]

*

Next part, the person didn't hear all of Tieria's lines so I can't translate that part. Anyway, Tieria talks about how he feels a bit embarrassed when he thinks about himself back then. How he put the mission above anything else and something that the blogger didn't catch. He goes on to say that Lockon was the one who made him realize.

Tieria: Lockon is the one who created the bonds between us Meisters.

[I love that line because I think about that "Bonds" special in Animedia July issue and how "bonds" is a theme in 00]

Some scenes of Lockon taking the hit for Tieria from ep 19.

Tieria: He protected me and hurt his dominant eye.

Scene of Lockon and Tieria in that room from ep 22.

Tieria
"That's right. Lockon's words at this time changed my ways. Rather than being alone, I chose to fight with companions."

*

Scenes of Lockon's final battle and final moments.

After the blast, his helmet's visor was broken and the scene showed the expression that remained after death. It was an expression of anguish, angry eyes open. Contrary to what most people thought, his body actually did not vaporize. His corpse floated with the debris in space.

[Sunrise really likes to twist that knife. ._.]

*

Tieria
"For his sake also, we have the duty to fight."

Setsuna
"To exist is to live. To shoulder the thoughts of the people who are gone and to face the world. Not for God's sake, but by my own will."

*

Back to the spaceship, 2312 AD

Setsuna asks Tieria about CB members' whereabouts. Feldt and Ian are well but Tieria tells him about Lichty (sp) and Chris' deaths 4 years ago. Also tells him that Sumeragi quit CB.

Setsuna asks about Allelujah but Tieria answers that Allelujah is MIA.

*

Video cuts to the building where bound Allelujah is being kept. He's alone in the room and dark building while it's raining.

Allelujah
"I've always been thinking. About the person who's from the same Super Soldier facility as me, Soma Peries. No, it's really about Marie Parfashi (sp?? Paafashii)."

[ooh Marie's full name is out~]

Allelujah
"Could it be that I saw Marie again that time. But now I know. There is no one else who can interfere with my quantum brain waves other than Marie."

Scenes of ep 10 and 11 (blowing up of Super Soldier Facility)

Allelujah
"It is the Human Reform League, no all three blocs, that have sinned. Their power game warped the world and people like them gave birth to the super soldiers. But because of that, I had to kill them, my companions. But I might have been wrong. Ahh Marie, if it were you, what would your answer be?"

Allelujah then says that there is a reason for hiding the power of cooperating with Hallelujah. When he uses this, he can be pulled toward Hallelujah.

Allelujah
"I'm sorry, Marie. For thinking about killing you. I didn't know. You were the one who gave me light when I had no memories of my past due to the super soldier surgery. Just like the name, you are Maria. Despite that, you who gave me blessing, I..."

[!!! Virgin Mary analogies!]

Allelujah
"I lost Hallelujah and even got captured by the enemy but I don't want to die yet. Not until I save her... Marie"

*

Back to the spaceship

Setsuna: Allelujah... It'd be good if he's all right.
Tieria: He believes. He believes that his companions are alive.

[T/N: 僕は信じる。彼が、仲間が生きていることを; my interpretation is the above that Alle believes that his companions are alive, rather than Tieria saying that he believes in Allelujah and that Allelujah knows that they're alive. hope it's right lol]

Tieria: Soon we will arrive at Ptolemaios' rendezvous point. Our battle begins now.
Setsuna: I know. We are Gundam.

"Mission Start"; all 4 Meisters

Setsuna
"If pressing for revolution in the world is a sin, then the only thing that can make up for the sin is to change this world once more."

Tieria talks about 00 Gundam's two solar furnaces but the blogger couldn't hear the rest of the sentence. They will increase output of GN Particles by 2 times.

Lockon
"My name is Lockon Stratos. Celestial Being's...Gundam Meister."

The blogger comments that this is the new Lockon's first words and they sound negative or sarcastic. There's definitely a difference between Neil's voice and new Lockon Lyle's voice.

アレルヤ
「自ら引き金を引こうとすらしないなんて！　
罪の意識すら持つ気がないのか！」

I think he's saying how he won't even pull the trigger by himself and asks if he even is aware of the sins. Not 100% sure though.

Setsuna
"(says something that blogger didn't catch) No matter what we do, I still want to save Allelujah, my companion."

Allelujah
"Thank you, for helping me live. Thank you, for giving someone like me a raison d'etre."

Setsuna
"00 Gundam Setsuna F. Seiei, sortie!"
