Gundam 00 Episode 14: A Song is Heard

POWER SUMMARY GO!!!

After destroying the Memento Mori, Saji marvels at Celestial Being. Marie detects three approaching units, which are revealed to be a new mobile armor piloted by Divine, a Garazzo piloted by Bring, and a Gadessa piloted by Revive (both mobile suits are equipped with the boosters that were on the Garazzo during its first sortie).

The new OP is beautiful and has plenty of stuff going on in it.

Just a few shots from the OP. Then there was…

THIS. I came so fucking hard. It’s no secret I’m a huge Flag fanboy so I saw this and emitted the following sound: “GAAHUDFUSDFSDJNSDLKJFBSDKLJFBSDJKFD.”\

Setsuna arrives at the rendezvous point with the Ptolemy and finds debris. Nena shows up and greets Setsuna, informing him the Ptolemy went down to Earth. Setsuna runs off without another word, much to Nena’s dismay.

Hercules and Sergei are shown talking. Hercules informs Sergei of a planned coup d’état of the Federation.

Ian awakens and is fully recovered. He promptly discovers there is a gaping hole in the side of the Ptolemy.

The Ptolemy crew discusses repairs, which Saji is helping with along with the Haros. It is revealed that the mobile armor that shot them down has a massive death cannon similar to the Alvatore. Marie arrives with food (because she does little else these days), and Mileina gets like preposterously excited about it. Meanwhile outside, Lockon and Anew talk for a bit, at a certain point Lockon insists Anew call him Lyle. Sumeragi is also briefly shown apologizing to Allelujah for involving Marie in the battle.

On Earth, Setsuna comes across the gaping hole that was once Seel when the Arche Gundam flies by. As Setsuna quickly heads after it, it is obvious Ali is intentionally luring him somewhere.

At the Katharon base, Klaus, Shirin, and the others are shown discussing the potential coup d’état. They soon hear singing voices, which is shown to be the children led by Marina.

Ali and Setsuna reach Krugis, where the Arche Gundam turns around and starts descending. While still in the air, Ali gets out of his cockpit. After landing, Setsuna follows suit. The two converse briefly as Setsuna accuses Ali of helping the Innovators. Setsuna quickly pulls his gun on Ali who stops him by saying that he should wait until he meets his sponsor.

Ribbons walks out from behind a tower behind the Arche Gundam. He greets Setsuna as Setsuna F. Seiei, and the Soran Ibrahim. Ribbons reveals that he was the pilot of the 0 Gundam that saved Setsuna years ago and asks Setsuna to join the Innovators to change the world. Setsuna appears to hesitate, considering his proposition, before pulling his gun on Ribbons.

A gunshot is heard and Setsuna falls down in the palm of the 00 Raiser, hit in the shoulder by a bullet from Ali’s gun. He presses a button on the palm of the Gundam to return him back to the cockpit.

Back at the Ptolemy it is decided to sortie the Seravee and Arios to search for Setsuna.

Meanwhile Setsuna and Ali are locked in combat. Setsuna clearly is under quite a bit of stress, likely due to the bullet in his fucking shoulder/upper arm. Amidst the battle, Setsuna manages to use the 00 Raiser’s shoulder pieces to slice one of the Arche’s legs.

The Seravee and Arios are intercepted by the Garazzo and Gadessa, respectively.

Bring damages the Seravee considerably, chopping in half the GN Bazooka and cutting off its right arm. The Seravee grabs the Garazzo with its remaining arm and its leg-cannon-arms and goes Trans-Am.

AND THEN SUDDENLY!!!

The backpack transforms and launches off of the Seravee. It is clear this isn’t a drone as once suspected but an MS that brings both Tieria and the GN Drive with it.

Tieria announces that since he can’t use Nadleeh, he instead will use the Seraphim Gundam. Ribbons is shown briefly being shocked due to detecting what had happened through Veda.

The Seraphim leaps over the Seravee as the Garazzo turns on its GN Field. The Seraphim’s hands penetrate through the GN Field before transforming back into beam cannons, which shoot within the GN Field, destroying the Garazzo and killing Bring.

Ali intercepts a Katharon carrier, holding Klaus, Shirin, and their crew (just to note, not Marina). Before he can damage it, a Trans-Am 00 Raiser pops out to fight Ali.

Setsuna essentially starts taking the Arche to the house. The massive beams shot out during Trans-Am destroy the Arche’s fangs, and the 00 Raiser starts cutting the Gundam to pieces.

As Setsuna moves to stab the Arche in the cockpit, he hears Marina saying his name echoing, causing him to pause with the blade meters away from stabbing through the Arche.

Marina’s song begins to fill the cockpit, and it is shown everyone can hear it as well, due to the link caused by the 00 Raiser’s Trans-Am. The Arche Gundam explodes as Ali escapes in a similar manner to the escape pod in the Gadessa and Garazzo. Marina’s song serves as the ED for this episode.

The new mobile armor is shown to be docked on the same ship as Louise, who meets Divine. Quick sidenote: Louise appears to be piloting a recolored version of this mobile armor in the OP.

Meanwhile, Billy presents Mr. Bushido with his new suit. When Mr. Bushido/Graham notes that it resembles a Flag, Billy denotes it the Samurai Flag, noting that Professor Eifman had an influence on it and it incorporates a feature that he had discovered prior to his death.

As Graham heads to his new unit, Billy turns and pulls out a photo of Sumeragi and himself from the university. He rips it up and throws its pieces into the air, whispering “Goodbye, Kujo.”

The only real thing of significant importance from the next episode preview is the picture above.

Anyhow… Another summary down. Hope you rofl’d a bit. When you see the episode you’ll omfg a few times.
