Alright, I actually got a couple requests to keep doing summaries, so I'm going to. I had fun with the geass thread last time, so I hope this will be as well.

For those that don't know, 00 is a lot more difficult to translate than Geass, so I'm more likely to make mistakes (a lot of scientific and political terms you don't hear very often, I think I looked up the word for magnification 2 or 3 times last season because I kept forgetting).

I haven't done quite as much spoiler research on 00 yet, so excuse me if my predictions are already outdated.

Those are just the basic points though. I'd really have to sit down with a raw and read some lines twice to get all of it, honestly.

-We begin with a battle between blue and red GN-equipped suits.
-Shirin (Marina's adviser) is a member of the anti-government organization.
-Saji is sent to a work camp.
-Drill-hair bridge bunny gets a line before Feldt >:[.
-Soma is apparently living with Smirnoff. I think he mentions wanting her to think about retiring, but I'm not positive here.
-Tieria says "if he's alive, he'll come". Apparently there's a planned attack on the work camp Saji has been sent to.
-Cut to Setsuna infiltrating said base. He shoots a bystander's spacepack, and asks him "what the plan is". Naturally, the man has no idea :haha: .
-The government (is the current translation Arrows or A-Laws? I'd like to be official, but I don't know the name) attacks said base, launching a crate of robots inside to assault the workers.
-Most of them are massacred, but Saji is saved by Setsuna. They have a moment of recognition. They escape with Setsuna lamenting that things are exactly the same for him, complete with flashbacks to his childhood.
-Saji discovers that Setsuna is a Gundam meister.
-Louise is in an MS...
-Setsuna goes out in his gimped Exia (which apparently he has been wandering around in for years) and tries to fight the aggressors. He's dismantled almost immediately, but is saved by Tieria in his upgraded Gundam.
-Ribbons recognizes Exia through Louise. Apparently she's had some sort of implant that allows him to do so. Ribbons says that she now has a reason to fight.
-Setsuna, Tieria, and Saji return to Celestial Being's base.
-Feldt is glad that Setsuna is safe!
-Setsuna is given 00, Saji doesn't shoot him because "he would be no better than them."
-Liumin meets with Ribbons and Tieria's female innovator counterpart.
-Marina watches the Gundam's new appearence.
-Soma meets Smirnoff's son.
-Allelujah is captured.
-Setsuna approaches Lyle Dilandy, announcing himself as a gundam meister and declaring that Lyle will be as well, naming him "Lockon Stratos".

Predictions:
-Allelujah rescue operation within the next couple episodes.
-Saji vs. Louise mech battle. It [i]will[/i] happen.
-Marina will somehow inevitably end up with Celestial Being, since she's clearly meant to be Setsuna's love interest.
-Tieria will die this season.

.

So, thoughts and predictions of others? Anyone else excited (well, I know people are, but be vocal! 🤣

Quote from Crenshinibon

-Setsuna approaches Lyle Dilandy, announcing himself as a gundam meister and declaring that Lyle will be as well, naming him "Lockon Stratos".

...What? 😕 I don't get it...

Wasn't Lockon's name Neil Dilandy? Is it the real Lockon with no memories? Brother perhaps?

If you remember from season 1, Neil has a twin brother named Lyle. He was in the graveyard scene in episode 8 or so, don't remember the exact number. Basically, this confirms that Lockon is dead.

Also, it appears that I missed a line about Lyle working for Kataron(sp?), the anti-government group. I really don't recall hearing that, but enough people are saying so that I must have missed it.

Oh, I completely forgot about that scene...

EDIT:

Strange that I'm suddenly drawing comparisons between Louise and Stella from SEED, I hope it doesn't end tragically

Ok yeah, super excited for this season. I've been looking forward to it since the minute after the last episode ended.

The Mariana-Setsuna link is pretty obvious I agree there. THey will most likely end up together.
Saving Allelujah Haptism is likewise pretty much a given considering they still list him as a miester on the web site, and I don't think he has a twin brother laying around like Lockon did.
I also agree with a Saji Vs. Loise battle, and it will probably be pretty epic.
I'll hold judgement on where megane-boy bites it or not but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did.

As for predictions:
-Feldt will have a rather emotional response when Lyle is brought in and maybe even a little breakdown when she realizes it's not the guy she fell for.
-More people that should by all rights be dead will surface to cause havoc, I'm particularly looking for Ali Al-Saachez to reappear.
-Setsuna will actually show an emotional response other than anger.

They may not be the best predictions but hey I've never claimed to be omniscient. I am looking forward to seeing the new Gundams in action, however.

Since I slept past the episode premier due to sickness, no summary this week (you can already get that from dozens of blogs. If you want me to, I will, but the information's already out there).

Updated predictions:

-New promotional art and Saji's discovery of Gundam Throne lead me to believe he will become a Gundam Meister, probably piloting GN 000, the suit that rescued Setsuna at the very beginning of the series (Gundam 00 is ironically GN 0000). And yes, I am aware 00 has its solar furnace right now.
-Next episode is obviously about rescuing Allelujah given the title. It appears both of his personalities survived as well, since he still has multicolored eyes.
-Marina seems to be held in the same prison, so I suppose Setsuna will rescue her as well.
-Feldt will have an especially hard time dealing with Lyle. That will probably be her only real role for the first half of the season.
-Nena is killed by either Saji or Louise.
-Soma either defects from the A-LAWs or is captured by Allelujah.
-Sergei will die this season.
-Billy will attempt to kill Sumeragi at some point in time.

I think that's enough for now. I'm not paying a ton of attention to 00 spoilers, so I could be proven wrong already 🤣

Good Episodes so far and I think the same as you Crenshinibon

-Ali ali sargees will appear by or in the fifth Episode
-Nena will be killed by either Saji or Loiuse [kinda obvious when you consider Saji learning about the Thrones]
-A good number of A-laws higher ranked members from the First season will rebel or switch sides some point in the middle of the season
-Wang Liu Mei will be killed near the end of the season after Celestial Being learns about her duplicity
-Sergei will die this season.
-Billy will attempt to kill Sumeragi at some point in time.
-Mister Masked Virgo [I have no idea who he is :rolleyes:] will destroy One Gundam or at least do serious damage to it

Well Fifth Ep time and guess what

Ali appears in a firey fashion

If there was a real evil in the universe it would be the illusion that man creates to defend its Forsaken Ideals.
