There were already hints that the history of Geiseric is the origin of Skullknight, only his transition into becoming the Skullknight and his Rivalry with one of the Godhand has yet to be explained. We can also note the similarity of the relationships between Skullknight and the old Witch with Guts and the young Witch (sorry, their names are at the tip of my tongue). I do wonder what would Griffith do next when he obtains his kingdom. As is seems with the current pace of the manga, that's not really far away. I'm also curio, us as to if Griffith still has the power of the Godhand since he was reborn. So far we have only seen unexplained miracles happening to Griffith. (like arrows not hitting him, etc.) Perhaps this is part and parcel of that power?

I don't think Griffith would have any "fighting form" since he was reborn as a human in Gut's unborn child. So technically, Griffith is a result of Guts X Caska X Griffith. *shudder* And his army is not only his weapons, remember he was also a member of Godhand. As with Guts, there are hints that his future are somewhat similar to what has happened to Skullknight, and probably this time Guts has to struggle the same fight as the Skullknight only not making the mistake that he once did, if he ever did.

Lockon, Lockon...... Lockon, Lockon...... Lockon, Lockon..... Man, that just sucks. And here I was hoping that won't happen. Guess this is one of those last minute changes they were talking about. But wait, they didn't actually show it right? So there is still a chance.....

I find it odd that the Trial system not working on the GN-X. If that is not the case, why is Tiera so furious when he revealed the existence of Nadaleh to the opposing forces? Perhaps the Trial system is some sort of an enhance Minovsky Particle emitter that renders GN drives (or even other mobile suits) useless, something which is similar to an EMP, but without the after effects. It seems that the first season will be coming to an end. I've read spoilers out there and things are pretty exciting. People are dying left and right, and will leave us hanging for more. I'm convinced that it's no rumor since it was posted way back in mid february and it's prediction for the episode that just came out a week ago were spot on. I hope Code Geas 2 comes out immediately after Gundam 00 ends.

I think that it would be related to the GN drives. As it seems that the GN drives are directly linked to Veda. But I'm wondering if the GN drives of the United Nations are linked to Veda as well.

Well, it is evident that Togashi's "sickness" started when he was doing Yuyu. The art sometimes looks like childrens scribbles. But you have to hand it to him, People gets hooked to the stories he tell. I just can't understand why a guy like him who is married to the author of Sailormoon and is currently the highest paid (correct me if I'm mistaken) mangaka, can't put out a consistent Manga on schedule. Well, forgive me as I know this is not a thread for Togashi but his works on Yuyu. Anyway, I liked the fights of Hiei during the tournament. Especially how he resorted to using a "weak" technique of Kuwabara's. (Forgot the name of the guy he fought)

This is probably the only series of Tagashi I've seen from start to finish. This is actually the series that introduced me to Hunter X Hunter. Although I don't know what the arcs are called, but I liked the fight up to the point where Urameshi is fighting Sensui, then after that, I'm kinda disappointed. And of all monsters..... Enki????

I don't think that every one of them has the same ability like this one, that would defeat the purpose of their uniqueness. So far, we only managed to see the semi special abilities of Dynames and Virtue, their full potential might be somehow linked to that. Also, I think this pinkish mode is more similar to the after image of F91. Imagine how much G-force the pilot has to endure in that mode. I'd like to imagine Exia doing that afterimage while docked into the GN Arms.

Episode 22. Woohoo!! Nice upgrades.

It could be possible that Balcus has never bothered to design a Zoanoid in a feminine form. If you notice, all zoanoids are in the shape of male, or could be that Balcus is a male chauvinist.

Will take me longer to translate the following pages as patience is not one of my virtues. Goodluck with the typsetting. Page 130 Guyver Chronicle Bioboost Armor glossary Because [bioboost Guyver] has been running longer than 10 years, these are enourmous information being presented.

Enzyme III Augmented to be nimble, the newest version of the Enzyme series that can fly when the wings in its back are spread. Including the Bioboost armor disassembly enzyme in it's body, an Anti Aptom Antibody is also present. [t/l note: I'm cutting the text in the last sentence in the next page and put it here as it will make absolutely no sense if I place the ending sentence in the next page.] Page 131 Oswald A Risker ->Risker Odagiri Mansion An old western styled house somewhere in the Setagaya District. There is a experimental processing establishment underground, this is where Hayami and the others experimented in invalidating the virus via processing experiment.

VDF-061 Page 128 Enourmous Bio spaceship "Ark" A giant bio spaceship that was processed in the dead sea. It's total lenght reaches 50 kilometers. Inside it, is a preparation of habitable environment for living organisms, it should be capable of prolonged interstellar flight, the crew (Zoanoids) serves as the center capable of forming an independent ecosystem onboard. The living organism composed in the hull, was the cell of the "relic" ship that was scattered by the explosion in mount minakami, and reinforced. Again, the 12 located energy amps scattered in the ships hull is the gravity control system, this enables the "Ark" for propulsion. These energy amps, is the same as those found originally in the body of Gigantic which is related to the "Relic", and that the "Ark" and Gigantic can be related as siblings. Again, these 12 energy amps corresponds to the 12 Zoacrystals, and requires the 12 members for the full functionality. Page 129 Shuttle Pod A 12 holy commanders exclusive space shuttle serves as a sattelite railway between the Ark and Earth. Capacity is 4 people. Although it won't live long after it separates from the Ark, it's longevity can be extended by Amniotic fluids. For Atmospheric escape it is pulled by the effect of the Ark.

I hope not. Teira must be feeling very bad now. Especially after their "bond". So how exactly is Tiera linked to Veda? Edit: Also checked MAHQ. The GN Arms are Meteor like attachments. Oooh, wonder what else it can do.

Hmm.... Tom Clancy makes me sleepy. Too many details. I mostly read books by Anne Rice, and other classics like Charles Dickens (which my favorite is Great Expectations) and Jules Verne. I've recently read the "Dark Matters" Trilogy by Philip Pullman and I have to say that it is way better than the movie version The Golden Compass. Also read a few Stephen King Novels. I really liked his "The Stand" book.

Oh sorry (edits above post), I'm not up to date with the anime. So they are currently showing renji fighting right now?

(un)fortunatelyHopefully, Ichigo's ass gets kicked.

Now that the playing fields are leveled, it would be interesting to see what the Gundam Meister can do. And I'm interested with the GN arms they are talking about. Could this be like the Meteor units in Seed? I'm guessing we'll be seeing a lot more of new mechs in the coming months. It's been a tradition in the Gundam universe that the main protagonists gets new powerful units. I hope they don't do the same here. Hopefully, the upgrade they get would only have new attachements. And I'm hoping that the GN arms are like that.

Well, I can't say I didn't see that coming. she was snooping around asking too many questions. Saji, Gundam Meister? Probably unlikely.

yeah, and I was expecting more from Nadaleh. I do wonder if Exia and Dynames has any other secrets or techniques. I also noticed that if both the Gundam Meisters clash, aren't they in conflict with their true purpose. I mean, they are there to end conflict, yet they are also the one starting conflict.

At least things seems to have calmed down a little. Louise is a little level headed and I'm afraid that she might go psycho any moment. Finally seen the Meisters do formation attacks, and a little bonding I might add. Say, any idea on what exactly is Veda? So who's actually directing the Celestial Beings, the old guy (forgot his name), or the rich guy (also forgot his name)? I'm afraid my predictions for this series are way off. Which is probably why I'm enjoying the series.

VDF-060.jpg Page 126 Unit room the 3 units, and also the place where the remover is safekeeped Central Control Brain 1 (Mobility center) The "relics" itself and it's crew members life support, also the living computer that controls the various ability during the space dimension cruise. It is also the autonomous nerves that are expected to assign tasks. Central Control Brain 2 (Memory center) A living computer where different data are stored from the time that this "Relic" space ship was born Propulsion Organ It is obviously expected to be the propulsion organ used to cruise but, the type of propulsion system, maximum output, and also the necessary energy inside the "Relic" that is required for the cruise, and everything about it is unknown [tl note: very useful indeed] "Relics" The Spaceship "Relics" Space Ship interior construction Stability wings Functions as a stabilizer during cruising. Again, can also be intented as a landing gear during alighting Energy Conversion Tool An organ with the role of digestive organs that converts thermal energy sucked up with the energy conversion whip into living energy when the "Relic" moves Page 127 Cruise Use Radar Expected to function as an omni directional radar during space dimension flight. Again, has a high probability to be used as a communication antena Shell - Hypodermis Distinctive in it's multi layers, secretes various kinds of oily solutions. A defense system that dissolves an intruder, with regards to the Unit Biobooster, can open an optional "exit" passage to the interior. Residential Block Comprises of half of the "Relic" Space ship's capacity, a number of "Sheath rooms". The resident wards seems to be expected as a storehouse like space. with regards to different life forms, can be capable of becoming the optimal habitat. Cruise Control Room Throught the medium of the Navigational Metal, the controller's (biobooster's) brain interfaces with the central control brain of the "relics" brain. This allows the controller to control all the functions and memories of the "Relic". Gravity Control System In the course of navigating space dimension, forms a gravity space. Again, during descent on a planet, has also the altitude control. Energy Conversion Whip Rotates internally with the High Density body fluids, sucks up thermal energy and sends it to the "conversion tool" A sleeping giant "Relic" that sleeps underneath the Relic Base, Mount Minakami. It's true form is from the ancient past, a space ship which the advents rode, a base for the purpose of developing living weapons. Again, this ship itself is one of their "living tool". An important databank for Cronos, this "Relic" is, has been seen in 3 locations in the world, the two has stopped it's living activity for a long time and has become "stone", the only "Living" state that was discovered was the "Relic" in Mount Minakami, now and eternally lost.

You would if you've been following the manga. You'll eventually see it if you only watch the anime, unless of course they change the story and events. And with the speed that the Anime is going, I'm guessing that they would be putting another filler here.

Ok, after pointing that out, I've come to think that Saji is a shallow kid. He proposes to Louise and just because she got into that condition he runs away. Isn't he supposed to be there for her even more? Or am I missing something here? Although I don't want to make comparisons, I'm looking at Saji and Louise like how I looked at Flay in Seed.

Well, seems those trinity kids ain't much of a pilot seeng how one of them got wasted by a souped up flag. It's still refreshing to watch a Gundam series not hating the main character. I'm looking forward to the next episode, seems like were going to see some action between the meisters. And judging from the preview, Setsuna gets more than a reprimand again for his actions.

Not up to date as to where the Anime is right now, but I liked the Manga better. I do agree that skills are becoming less relevant in some fights, but I liked the creativity in how new skills are used. Like administering super speed to your opponents, now who in their right mind would do that to your opponent?
