NEW ANIME BLOG!

Hi, long time haven't shown myself. There isn't much to add for GSD in this blog, since poor Gundam Seed Stargazer only has 3 episodes, so I will just put the summary on Anime Genkai.

I am planning to start a new blog. Yes, a blog like this one, and not like my DNAngel site. I will be targeting D.Gray-man! Please visit the new blog at http://crossgrave.blogspot.com!

Thank you for all your long support and encouragement!

Mood: Pissed by the broke down of my anit-virus T_T

News for anime fans! I am starting on my next project right now, not just a blog, but a general D.N.Angel site! It is currently under construction, but some characters info, gallery, wallpapers and graphics are up. Url is at http://dnangel.pandela.net. It's corresponding forum can be found at http://z9.invisionfree.com/whitefeather/. Please support my next project! Thank you very much =D

Mood: LOL Long time no write.

Gundam Seed Stargazer 01

Um... from many sources of mine, I get to know that there is a new Gundam Seed series, known as Gundam Seed Stargazer. However, I didn't pay much attention when I watch episode 1, so I could not write the summery here. Kira & co. have disappeared. The new main lead is some guy with white (or grey?) hair. The new MS is Strike Noir (looks like Strike?). Most of the time in this episode is war and description, story telling... I can say that this series is going to be boring T_T

The opening song in not known yet, but the ending theme is okay in my opinion. I will be keeping track on a few more episodes before I decide whether I will continue with the episode summaries on this new series =)

For more details please visit the official site: http://www.seed-stargazer.net/index.html

By someone's request, I am putting a brief paragraph on Akatsuki Gundam. (I tried my best to translate from Japanese, please inform me if there are mistakes. Thanks.)



"Akatsuki Gundam is the MS which Cagalli's father left for her, a real form of Orb's ideal. It has a body of gold and special contents. It has a thick wing for higher protection."

Mood: Sick...

Gundam Seed News

Good news to some Gundam Seed fans, but bad news to some others. It is confirmed (I think) that there will be a third series for Gundam Seed, and it is called Gundam Seed Astray (forgotten the subtitle, sorry). However, Kira & co. will not appear in this series, neither do Shinn & co., and the artist this time is someone who did the previous Gundam series, and not Fukada (or whatever you call him). Trailer is out for some fansub groups, but I am not sure which.

So, if you like Gundam Seed Astray (if you have read the manga, I guess it is similar in content), please continue to support the 3rd Gundam Seed series =]

(Reactions from fans: Why the heck is there so many unsure statements???? *Kira got thrown stuff at* Sorry for the "I think", "whatever"... because I read that last month and have forgotten most of the information)

PS. I will not be working on this new Seed series. I will update this blog if there are any other information regarding Gundam Seed or SDestiny. Meanwhile please support my next project - Black Cat.

Mood: Tired after lab...

Final Plus The Chosen Future

This is actually a lengthened version of episode 50. In order to have a world with no wars and where the coordinators rule over the naturals, the highest chairman of PLANT Gilbert Durandal carried out the Destiny Plan. He had this giant laser beam which was planned for destroy Orb. Kira & co. with Freedom, Justice, Akatsuki, Archangel and Eternal all set off to PLANT intending to destroy the beam. Rey and Shin came to stop them. They had a fight when Kira sensed something about Rey. Shin fought Athrun, who destroyed Impulse's leg because Lunamaria wanted to stop him. However, he couldn't stop himself from stabbing when Lunamaria shielded Athrun. Luckily Athrun was fast enough to use Seed and Shin was defeated. Rey told Kira that he is in fact Raww, whom Kira had defeated in the previous war. Kira said that one must treasure one's life, since there is only one, and it belongs to no one but oneself. Rey was shocked at his words. Athrun and Andrew destroyed the beam and Kira went into Gilbert's headquarters. As he was about to shoot Gilbert, Rey took a step faster and Gil was killed. Talia arrived to see Gilbert being shot on the spot. She hugged him tight and called Rey to go to their side. Rey discovered that Talia was his mother. Kira and Athrun escaped from PLANT and the war ended. Orb has peace maintained by later signing a peace treaty with the EA. Lacus was invited back to PLANT with the highest authority. Shin and Athrun visited the graves of all those who had died and gave them flowers. Kira arrived with Lacus and Shin was shocked when Athrun introduced Kira as the pilot of Freedom. Shin remembered his first encounter with Kira and Lacus, and he cried. Then, Athrun and Meyrin went, so as Kira and Lacus, leaving Shin and Lunamaria behind. Cagalli took back full charge of the control of Orb, and peace was with everyone once again.

Mood: Having a headache.

Hello all, since Gundam Seed Destiny has ended and I am waiting for the Special Release, if there is one, I have decided to work on a new anime. I have chosen Black Cat as my next project. Similar to this one, I will be putting up chapter summaries for it (hope there aren't as much episodes as in Naruto or Bleach T_T). If you are a Black Cat fan, or a Train fan, visit the new blog at http://www.train-heartnet.blogspot.com

It was such a pity that the domains blackcat and black-cat are taken, so I have no choice but to use Train's name. Hope you like that blog as well.

I don't think I will have much updates on this one till the special release, but I still come here often, so leave your comments in the tagbox =D

NOTICE: About the Kira site I put up last time, sorry that it is down at the moment. If you want the song Ima Kono Shunkan ga Subete, right-click this link and save it:

Mood: Betsuni. T_T

Updates...

Long time haven't updated here, that's because I don't know what to update... GSD has ended but I got information from Stellar that there will be a special... next year T_T so I am actually waiting for it now.

Meanwhile I don't know what I write, anyone who wants GS and GSD songs can request them at Anime Genkai.

I have also got a new Kira fanpage up here. I have uploaded the only song sung by Kira - Ima Kono Shunkan ga Subete on the music page. There is only 500Mb bandwidth each month so if you want to download, be quick ;)

Mood: Genki desho.

Strike Freedom Gundam



ATTENTION: Since I learnt Japanese by myself, I am just trying my best to translate the following paragraph. There may be some minor mistakes but this is what I think it is:

"Last MS manufactured during the chaotic situation. It has a newly developed engine and fire power of multiple times that of the Freedom Gundam. The wings at the back can be detached and controlled by remote for attacks. Large beam situated at the chest, and two powerful rifles at the sides. Pilot is Kira Yamato."

Mood: Heck...

Episode 50 Saigo no Chikara (The Last Strength)

Kira fought Shin and Rey while Athrun took the chance to get to the laser beam. However, Rey, who was actually the clone of Raww, asked Shin to go after Athrun while he dealt with Kira. Kira convinced Rey that one's life belongs to oneself, not others, and Rey was defeated. Athrun met Lunamaria on the way who tried to stop him, and destroyed her MS' arms and legs. Shin came to the rescue, but he was no match for Athrun with Seed. Eternal & co. destroyed the laser just in time for its firing at Orb and Kira went to meet Durandal in his room. While Durandal and Kira were about to shoot each other, Durandal was shot by Rey with Talia's presence. He was shocked, but he smiled. Kira left Zaft's headquarters, leaving Talia, Rey and Durandal together. Rey recognized at last that Talia was his mother. The laser was blew up and everyone watched the red flames faded out to darkness.

Mood: Sad... no one joins the forum...

Episode 49 Rey

Archangel & co. reached space attempting to destroy the laser beam where they were welcomed by Zaft forces. Kira and Athrun launched and flew at a high speed while Archangel and Eternal took care of Zaft's zakus. Durandal called Rey and Shin and asked them to fight for the new world. Archangel was met by Minerva not long after and just as Minerva had its beam shot towards Archangel, Neo, who was in Akatsuki, helped them blocked the blow as Mwu did in the previous war. He then remembered his past and how he became Neo. Lunamaria was also launched but she was not able to shoot Eternal because Meyrin called her from inside. Shin was launched against Athrun while Rey fought Kira.

Mood: Seed mode (for school)...

Episode 48 Towards the New World

Durandal introduced his new world to the whole world through mass media. It was a world in which everyone would be given their positions according to their genetic abilities. Shin was not really into this system after watching the broadcast, but Rey insisted that the chairman and the new world were what they were all hoping for. During their talk, Lunamaria came to find Shin, but she was rejected by Rey immediately saying that they were talking about some important matters. Orb and Altoche (own translation) were the only countries which opposed to this plan. Durandal ordered Zaft to fire the laser which they got from Logos at Altoche. Everyone were shocked. "Be destroyed if you do not obey, the only way to stop this is to have war". Kira and Athrun decided to fight Durandal although they didn't want to.

Mood: Heck...

Episode 47 Meer

Meer died from protecting Lacus and was carried on board Archangel for the funeral. Lacus found Meer's dairy in her handbag with which Meer described how she became Lacus and acted as her imitation. Meer was happy that she could finally be the same as Lacus, whom she was a big fan of. On the other hand, Durandal introduced his Destiny Plan to the world, a new world where there would be no war because everyone would know about themselves and their future. Everyone was shocked in hearing this, but Gilbert insisted that war would never end unless a world like this was accomplished.

Mood: T.T

Episode 46 The Song of Truth

Lunamaria was still not completely recovered from the news that Meyrin and Athrun were dead, and Shin was there to encourage her. Athrun told Kira about Shin, Minerva and the Destiny Gundam. Before they launch, Archangel & co. decided to go shopping in a small town nearby. There, they received a letter from Meer saying that someone was going to kill her. Kira, Athrun, Lacus and Meyrin arrived at the location and found Meer alone. Athrun knew that this was a trap and he convinced Meer to come with them. Meer insisted that she was the real Lacus, and Lacus said it is okay for her to have her name and appearance if she liked. Zaft's secret agent Sara shot at Lacus, but missed and a gun fight began. Sara wasn't dead, and when Kira was asking Meer to go with them, she shot at Lacus, and Meer helped her block the shot. Meer died in the incident and told Lacus never to forget her song.

Mood: This is delicious XD *having lunch*

Episode 45 The Opening of Revolution

Minerva arrived in space after receiving the command to destroy the laser beam on the moon. Shin, Rey and Lunamaria were all launched to attack the system on different sides. Jibril was surprised at the sudden appearance of more fleets from Zaft and he decided to fire the beam again, which, at that time was not fully recharged. Jibril escaped in another shuttle but Rey caught his course and shot it down. The mission was completed and Durandal smiled to himself in his room. Archangel and co. launched for space, but Cagalli couldn't go with them.

Mood: *sigh...*

Episode 44 Two Lacus

The appearance of the real Lacus in Orb created many confusuions on Earth and in Plant. Durandal and Meer was far too surprised at this, and so Durandal ordered Meer to hide for a while first till the matter was settled down. On the other hand, Jibril landed on the moon and fired a lazer beam at Plant, which was supposed to aim at Durandal's place, but missed because of miscalculations. Yzak and Dearka was also sent to defeat some unknown MS gathering around the moon and saw the attack. Plant was in chaos, and Minerva was ordered back to space. Archangel and co. decided to stop Durandal from creating a world of perfect co-ordinators, a world where everyone's future would be decided by their genes. Neo, Meyrin, Lacus, Cagalli and Ramius all agreed to help Kira & Athrun.

Mood: ......

Episode 43 The Sound of Retaliation

Archangel was putting up a hard fight with Minerva, but just as Minerva was greatly forcing Archangel back, a Sky Grasper came into rescue. Athrun launched and helped Kira, who was being attacked by both Shin and Rey. Athrun tried to convince Shin about fighting for the things he really wanted, but Shin went berserk and couldn't listen. However he was not as skilful as Athrun and he lost. Yuna was killed during his attempt to run away from the soldiers and Jibril fled by a shuttle. Lunamaria was launched, trying to stop Jibril but he escaped. Cagalli made a speech after the war, but was interrupted by Meer's broadcast. Lacus decided that it was time to stop staying silent and her appearance beside Cagalli shocked the whole world.

Mood: T_T...

Episode 42 Freedom and Justice

Akatsuki put up a hard fight with Destiny, but Shin's skill was better than Cagalli. Akatsuki's arms were damaged, and Shin was about to give the final blow, when he was suddenly distracted by some fast moving MS approaching him. To his great surprise, Strike Freedom appeared in front of him and blocked his blow. Together with Strike Freedom was another MS which Lacus was inside and was landed into Archangel. Rey called for the return of Shin after noticing that Kira was too strong for him. He said in order to defeat Kira, Shin must have his supports reloaded. Lacus went on board Archangel and showed Athrun his new unit, the Infinite Justice. Athrun, despite his wounds, decided to launch.

Mood: Super sleepy @_@

Episode 41 Refrain

Basically, this is another recap episode again. This time Athrun is the narrator and he described the story from Gundam Seed to Seed Destiny. He remembered how he was assigned on his first mission and met Kira on the fight. He had wanted to know very much why he had to fight Kira over and over again. It seemed that Kira's views weren't the same as his, and he didn't know why. He thought they both had the same objective. He also recalled the time he met Shin, the missions he had gone through with him, and Heine's joining till he died...

Mood: Tired & Sleepy

Episode 40 The Golden Will

Shin had a nightmare about the past war, and became unsire of himself. Jibril was found to be hiding in Orb so Durandal sent out Minerva to capture him, alive or dead. Receiving this news, Cagalli decided to launch the Sky Grasper with some of Orb's units, but she was given a new unit instead. The new gundam, Akatsuki, was a present from her father when she would be in need of power. Cagalli flew back to Orb and took control of the Orb forces. Just at this moment Minerva arrived and Shin launched.

Mood: ._.

Episode 39 Kira in the Sky

All members of Logos, except Jibril, were caught because Jibril abandoned them. Archangel were doing it repairs when they received information on the Eternal being launched as they were discovered by Zaft forces. Since Lacus was in danger, Kira launched the Strike and went up to space. Andrew used Gaia against the Golfs and Zakus but since there were many he wasn't able to hit them all. Kira met Lacus again in the Eternal and got his new unit, the Strike Freedom Gundam. Using his new unit, Kira disabled all enemies in a flash, leaving them all stunned in amazement.

Mood: Busy @_@

Episode 38 The New Flag

The Logos imposed a sudden attack on Zaft on the sea. Shin, Lunamaria and Rey launched the Destiny, Impulse and Legend respectively to fight against them. Jibril, together with the EA forces sent out 5 Destroy gundams and tons of MSs against Minerva, saying that they would let Durandal regret going to the front line so abruptly. However Shin got mad and turned into seed mode, and defeating all the Destroys for victory. On the other hand, Athrun and Merlin were saved by Archangel, and Athrun met Kira and Cagalli once again.

Mood: Sorry for the lateness...

Episode 37 Darkness with Thunder

Athrun escaped with Merlin after he realized the chairman's plans. Rey and Shin were assigned to go after them, and Rey got permission from Durandal to shot down the traitors. Shin was shocked at the fact that Athrun and Merlin would betray Zaft, and he was confused by his own feelings whether to be against or not against them. Rey encouraged Shin to draw his weapons. Thinking about how Mayu and Stellar died, Shin went into seed mode and cut his sword right into Athrun's zaku. Everyone on Minerva was shocked by this. Lunamaria cried for her sister, whom she thought was lost. Durandal said he felt pity for them, and just leave the matter aside. On the other hand, Lacus & Kira started their action in stopping Durandal's plan.

Mood: TT_TT

Episode 36 Athrun Escapes

Back in his room, Athrun was thinking about the war and the new unit. Suddenly Meer came to find him and told him what she overheard at the chairman's room. Rey had told Gilbert about him and Gilbert said that he may not qualify for what they wanted to do. Meer also showed him a photo she picked outside the room, showing Athrun's meeting with Kira and Cagalli. Athrun planned to escape. He jumped out of the window just as the soldiers arrived and enter Merlin's room, whom saved him from the soldiers. Taking Merlin with him, Athrun stole a zaku and escaped, but was discovered by Rey. Gilbert commanded Shin and Rey to go after them.

Gilbert asked Shin and Athrun to see him and led them to the inner area of the Zaft station. There, he showed them their latest gundams, the Destiny and Legend. Shin was very happy with his new unit, but Athrun didn't said a word. Athrun thought about this new unit again and again, and of the conversation before with Kira and Cagalli.

Mood: Ha~ finally back

Episode 34 Nightmare

Archangel attempted to get away from the sea, so it started its route towards the ocean. Zaft ordered troops and the Minerva to stop it, and command them to sink it. Archangel and Freedom dealt with all the small guns before Minerva arrived, which launched Shin against Kira. Crazily mad, Shin thought of nothing except to destroy Kira. Minerva fires the Taunhasser at Archangel just at the point Archangel finished diving into the sea, and Shin stabbed Freedom, which also fell onto the sea... (damn Shin!)

Mood: =D LOL

Gundam Seed Destiny Gifs......

Hello all, just to inform you that Kira is busy this month (piloting Freedom for war XD *just kidding*) so I will not update the summaries as I don't have time to watch the anime. I will write all the summaries in a few days after I resume my web project works. Some days ago I have made some gifs (avatars) for several characters in Gundam Seed Destiny. My skills are that of a beginner's so ... If you like them you can use them =]

Mood: Yosh!

Episode 33 The Revealed World

Shin buried Stellar under a lake. Feeling down and vexed, he simulated the fighting techniques of Freedom back in his room. Athrun wanted to stop him, but Rey was on Shin's side (I really want to beat Shin up!) Chairman Durandal broadcasted a speech from Plant throughout the whole world. He claimed that EA and the Naturals were not their enemies. The one who were against them were the people behind the Blue Cosmos, known as the Logos. These people wanted the naturals to hate the coordinators and fight against them. Durandal said that the people of Plant would fight against the Logos in order to maintain peace, but in his movie of Destroy burning the cities, Freedom was not shown.

Mood: X)

Episode 32 Stellar

Stellar piloted Destroy Gundam and destroyed many cities in a short time. In order to stay alive and counter the people against her, Stellar had no choice but to fight. Kira launched Freedom and fought with Stellar, meanwhile Sting and Neo also joined in the war.

Shin tried to calm Stellar down, however, realizing that Kira had defeated Neo, Stellar went berserk again. Kira stabbed Destroy in the main cannon (Kira ownz! XD) and Stellar died. Only considering his own feelings, Shin cried out loud while he held on to Stellar.

Mood: ......

Kira and co. had themselves under the sea once again, but Kira was worrying about Lacus and Cagalli. The Orb forces finally joined Archangel under Cagalli after their captain's death. Archangel heard about the appearance of Destroy Gundam and Kira decided to launch.

Mood: I am so bored... T_T

Episode 30 The Fleeting Dream

Athrun was silent back in his room after Saviour being damaged by Freedom. Shin was angry that Athrun was not as strong as he had heard and yet he was assigned into Faith. On the other hand, Lunamaria was worrying about Athrun , despite her own injuries.

That night, Shin kidnapped Stellar from the medical room and got on Impulse with Rey's help. Stellar was returned to Neo and Shin asked Neo to promise that he would not let Stellar die or fight again.

Mood: A ha~

Episode 29 FATES

Actually this is another one of those recap boring episodes. The extent to the recaps are till two years before (I mean from Gundam Seed) The war from two years ago is once again shown and reminds us of the numerous deaths of the naturals and coordinators. Kira first met Lacus in Archangel, Fllay's hatred for Lacus, how Cagalli met Athrun and the final war between Kira and Raww. However, recalling these memories, Chairman Durandall seemed to have planned something...

Once again, Cagalli urged Orb forces to stop attacking Minerva as they were not their enemy. Neo called Yuuna and asked why, not knowing what to do, Yuuna commanded to attack. During the war, Auel was killed, and Saviour was severely damaged by Freedom. Yuuna and some of Orb's crew succeeded in escaping, but the captain (I forgot his name) was killed as the vessel was sliced by Impulse.

Mood: Ready for action... *sigh*

Episode 27 Unreaching Feelings

Neo talked to Jibril about the plan for the second war. Jibril believed that the coordinators would never lend a hand to the naturals, and the citizens were stupid to choose what is most convenient for them. Neo agreed to fight against Minerva & co. again. Meanwhile, Cagalli thought about the ideals of Orb again and what had happened in the past. Kira helped her to stop the war, so Archangel launched once again.

Mood: =]

It was found out that Stellar is one of the Phantom Pain produced in the research lab. Shin didn't want to believe this and he managed to calm Stallar down after receiving several wounds from her. Stellar also seemed to remember him. Lacus went and took Mia's place back to Plant, but was discovered by Mia when Andrew tried to fly the shuttle away with her, luckily Freedom appeared and saved them.

Episode 25 The Place of Sin

Rey fainted after entering the research lab and Shin took him back to Minerva for rest.

His choice of reentering Zaft cause him to be against Orb and the earth once again, but despite Cagalli's request, Athrun decided to continue serving Minerva & the Chairman. In Neo's place, Auel suddenly thought of his mother and went mad.

However, Athrun didn't know that Lunamaria was following him and she heard everything that they said. Kira said he could not trust Plant because the Chairman is not trustworthy. Cagalli was angry that Athrun went back to Zaft, but Athrun said he though this was the best solution at that time.

Mood: Extremely happy XD

Episode 23 The Shadow of War

In order to stop Orb from joining the EA wars, Cagalli decided to speak to the army.

Zaft's rescue team came and brought them back to the shore where Auel and Sting happened to pass by and Stellar left.

Freedom and Justice fought for the protection of plant against the nuclear missles, the laser by Patrick Zala and how he joined Zaft, in order to have power, to protect the ones he loved.

Minerva went onshore once again and met by Zaft officers. They wanted Minerva crew to join them in breaking their way through to Giblartar. Since Minerva crew had to get there also, they accepted the request and made plans. Shin was still angry at Athrun, because Athrun had a higher position than he, and because Athrun was involved in the previous war.

Episode 12 The Ocean dyed in Blood

Minerva was leaving the waters of Orb when they were welcomed by EA forces' attack. At the same time, Orb was sending its battleships behind them and would not allow them to enter Orb's waters again. Shin was launched to fight with the EA mobile suits while Rey and Lunamaria protected Minerva. Cagalli went to Orb's military headquarters where she saw Yuuna directing the fight. Yuuna scolded her for being too ignorant of the present situation and always thinking of maintaining peace without fighting, which, according to Yuuna, is the wrong objective. As Minerva had nowhere to escape and under EA forces' strong attack, Shin turned into seed mode and save them all, including defeating an EA mobile suit which even Minerva's greatest Tannhausser cannot destroy. On the other hand, Athrun was assigned into Faith and Saviour was launched from Plant.

Mood: As usual

While being in the Chairman's room, Athrun saw a speech of "Lacus" and was shocked. Gilbert told him that that was not the real Lacus, but he had no other choice. Gilbert then led Athrun to the mobile suit room and entrusted Saviour to him. Athrun left the Chairman's room and met "Lacus".

Mood: Exhausted...

Many places on earth were damaged; many people were hurt; many people lost their homes, the Earth Alliance continued to urge people against Plant.

"Ah, wakarimasho." Kira answered.

Episode 06 The Time when the World Ends

Junius Seven was moving out of its orbit. Everyone were concerned about this catastrophe if it really fell on earth. Cagalli woked up from her sleep to find Athrun missing, and Gilbert told her that he volunteered to help in the operation. Yzak's team, Athrun's team and Neo's team all arrived at Junius Seven and a fight began. The people who wanted to destroy earth were in fact co-ordinators. There were still some of them who believed what Patrick Zala, Athrun's father chose was the right path. During this time, the Earth Alliance took action in convincing the people to hate Zaft, and Plant. Junius Seven was finally disintegrated, but the force from the explosion was so large that Minerva had to enter the earth's atmosphere, as well as Shin and Athrun were attracted towards the earth...

Mood: Bored...

Episode 05 The Cured Scar

Junius Seven was detected to go out of its original track. It was found that this was not due to some natural factors, but due to human factors. If Junius Seven continued along this new track, it would hit the Earth and a large part of Earth would be destroyed. Minerva planned to assist in the stopping of Junius Seven. Yzak Jule's team was also assigned to this project. In the meantime, the Blue Cosmos on Earth wanted to use this opportunity to raise the natural's hatred towards the co-ordinators and start a war. Bogey 1 also stuck its hands in the project so Minerva had to launch Shin, Rey, Lunamaria and Athrun to deal with them.

Mood: Sleepy...

Episode 04 The Battlefield of Stars

Shin and Lunamaria were launched for battle while Rey awaited inside Minerva. However, Minerva was forced to fly alongside a huge rock and suddenly attacked from behind. Lunamaria had a duel with Stellar while Shin dealt with Auel and Sting so none of them were able to help Minerva. Since Minerva is inside the gap of the rock, Rey could not launch due to limited space. At this time, Athrun suggested an idea - to use the shells and energy they had to break through from the rock. Gilbert agreed to this, so as Talia at last. Minerva made a grand escape and attacked Bogey 1, Neo's ship. Neo signalled to retreat and everyone was saved.

Mood: Angry

Suddenly Minerva lost the location of the enemy ship and while they were figuring out what to do, they were attacked. Minerva somehow managed to dodge the attack with little dmamge. Athrun and Cagalli were brought to the captain's room and introduced by Gilbert. They were then led around Minerva. Lunamaria and Shin were talking about the green Zaku and the pilot when Athrun and Cagalli were brought to the mobile suit room. Shin realized that Cagalli was the princess of Orb and he was fustrated. He blamed Cagalli for the death of his family without understanding what Cagalli had gone through. Neo launched the next attack and Impulse was ready to launch.
