Bandai Hobby MG Gundam Exia Gundam 00" (BAN159452)

Product Information

Enfant Terrible: The Innovades. Ribbons Almark himself is a classic example of this trope, presented as a beautiful, young, angelic boy, a facade which cleverly and effectively masks his God complex and rather unhinged state of mind. While the completion of the GN Drive was an important step in the establishment of GN Drive-equipped mobile weapons, it also required the development of ancillary technologies and materials like E-Carbon that is capable of withstanding the machines' high output. [3] No matter how revolutionary a specific part is, it would not be able to demonstrate its full capabilities until surrounding technologies have also developed enough. [7] As such the completion of the 0 Gundam was a triumph as it established the basic concepts and systems for later Gundams. [2] [5] [8] This included the use of the GN Drive as the main engine unit, use of the GN Drive's high output to drive beam weapons, presence of clavicle antennae on the torso for controlling GN Particles, and head-mounted v-fin antenna as well as twin eye camera. [5] [8] [9] [10] The Seven Swords mode of Exia is a reference to the Hong Kong action movie Seven Swords; Kenji Kawai scored the music for both the movie and this Gundam show.

Energy Weapons: Played with. Before Celestial Being and the Gundams showed up beam weaponry was considered too unconventional for mobile suit combat. Eventually, though, almost everyone had them. In its Combination SP move, 00 Raiser rushes towards the enemies while riding on the 0 Raiser(in a fashion similar to a sub-flight unit), something that has never been seen in other media.One-Federation Limit: Subverted and played straight with The Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations and the Advanced European Union. However, the Advanced European Union is always referred as the "AEU". The 0 Gundam was a general-purpose mobile suit developed during the Solar Power Wars, 15 – 20 years prior to the revelation of Celestial Being, and was completed around A.D. 2290. [1] [2] [3] The first Gundam created by Celestial Being, it was also known as the first generation machine. [2] [4] [5] Data obtained from it was used in creating the second generation Gundams such as the GNY-001 Gundam Astraea. [5] Unbeknownst to the organization, the 0 Gundam's data was copied by Ribbons Almark and the Corner Family, who later used it to create the Throne series. [6] Although Ribbons was once the 0 Gundam's pilot, he was not its official Gundam Meister as the suit did not switch its rollout color scheme (white, grey and yellow) to a custom one, a standard procedure whenever a Gundam has an official Meister. [5] Celestial Being. Justified that the organization is an irregular private militia, many of its members are non-military, and its people are eccentric. Then there’s Tieria Erde’s Gundams: Virtue (four GN Cannons and a Wave-Motion Gun) —> Seravee (four even more powerful GN Cannons and two Wave Motion Guns that can combine) —> Upgraded to have two more cannons. Hero Antagonist: Sergei Smirnov, Kati Mannequin, and Graham Aker until he becomes what is essentially an embodiment of Occidental Otaku and a Deconstruction of Everything's Better with Samurai.

Psychotic Smirk: Ribbons Almark and Alejandro Corner each pull one off in episode 19 of the first season ( for different reasons).

This show provides examples of:

Take My Hand!: Setsuna F. Seiei in the last two OPs. The third is with Marina Ismail, while the fourth is with an unseen character. Fans naming this unseen character could result in Ship-to-Ship Combat though... Boom, Headshot!: Okay, let's count: there's Aeolia Schenberg, Hong Long, Ali al-Saachez, Ribbons Almark, and Tieria Erde. The last two subvert this almost immediately, since Death Is Cheap for Artificial Humans like them. Lyle Dylandy is another example, leaking information on the Gundams' operations to Katharon. He's not very good at it though, since Celestial Being already knows he's a member of Katharon and that he's faking being a bad pilot. May be Celestial Being's very own Unwitting Pawn because of this. Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Billy Katagiri and Graham Aker, Saji Crossroad and Setsuna F. Seiei, Allelujah and Hallelujah can be seen as the two in one body, Dr. Moreno and Ian Vashti, Litchy Tsery and Lasse Aeon, Devine Nova and Bring Stabity. GN-000 0 Gundam | GN-0000 00 Gundam | GN-001 Gundam Exia | GN-002 Gundam Dynames | GN-002/DG014 Gundam Dynames Torpedo | GN-003 Gundam Kyrios | GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh | GN-005 Gundam Virtue | GNW-001 Gundam Throne Eins | GNW-002 Gundam Throne Zwei | GNW-003 Gundam Throne Drei | GNY-001F Gundam Astraea Type F | GNY-001F2 Gundam Astraea Type F2 | GNY-002F Gundam Sadalsuud Type F | GNY-003F Gundam Abulhool Type F | GNY-004 Gundam Plutone

The 00 Gundam only has two, but they're proper GN Drives and are "synchronized" squaring the power output. Eventually, Ribbons Almark figures out how to do this with two GN Tau Drives, resulting in Reborns Gundam. In the early concept stages, the 0 Gundam was known as the "King Gundam" which acted as a command unit for the team that can predict battle situations. It was loaded with a powerful quantum computer to help it with its analysis and tactical roles. Like the king in chess, its did not have any offensive ability whatsoever. Its role in the storyline was that of an important older unit that was critical in the beginning of the series. Later on, the quantum computer idea would be developed into Veda, while the tactical center idea developed into Ptolemaios. The pilot was also initially stated to be a "Sumeragi type" tactical character that eventually appeared although the initial concept character in question was a man rather than a woman. Replacement Goldfish: At first it appears that Lyle might be one for Feldt's crush on his late brother Neil. Then Lyle makes an open pass at her, causing her to slap him and storm off. Lyle admits to Haro after she leaves that he did it on purpose so that she wouldn't see him as an extension of his brother. Cyber Cyclops: The Enact, Flag, Tieren, Anf, Taozi, Hellion... pretty much every mass-produced mobile suit without a GN Drive (except for the Masurao/Susanowo). Raiser can carry a GN Shield made of E-Carbon. An improved version of the GN Shield carried by Exia, it can be stored as two separate pieces either near the GN Drives or on the wings of the 0 Raiser.Mid-Season Upgrade: More like "Mid-Story Upgrade", since most of those who survive at the end of the first season went on to pilot new units in the second season. Same goes to those who survive at the end of the second season, who went on to pilot new units in The Movie. The 0 Gundam while at the edge of GN technology at the time, it was very inefficient and it's massive GN Feathers caused a big loss of power. The 00 Gundam would later follow into this territory in that while the twin drive is both powerful and efficient it suffered from severe stability issues and could in worst case scenario cause the engines to surge. It would take the later 0 Riser to fix this issue. Katanas Are Just Better: Mr. Bushido’s mobile suits tend to wield katana-esque beam sabers, which is kinda fitting considering the Character Development. Episode 11 of season two sent Saji Crossroad well on his way to badassery as the pilot of the 0 Raiser. Raiser does a pretty good job for a melee-unit. Granted, its biggest beam-weapon is actually a several kilometers long Beam Sword, but even its GN Rifle Swords when used as regular rifles turn out to be nearly as powerful as Virtue was.

Done literally with Ribbons Almark's army of Bring and Divine clones in episode 23 of the second season, if the red pilot suits weren't a big enough hint.

Gundam 00 is split into two seasons; with the first airing from October 2007 to March 2008, while the second from October 2008 to March 2009. The series also spawned several side-stories, detailed here, and a movie wrapping up the universe (called A Wakening of the Trailblazer) came out in September 2010. In 2018, a sequel anime to A Wakening of the Trailblazer was announced with Seiji Mizushima returning as director, currently slated for 2027, on Gundam 00's 20th anniversary. Damsel in Distress: Louise Halevy in the second season, psychologically, if you think about it. In the end, she is rescued and redeemed by Saji and Setsuna. Fanservice: The Exia Repair and Exia R2 certainly qualify. Same goes for Arche Gundam and 0 Gundam ACD (Actual Combat Deployment colors). Same actually also goes for Lyle, though he was already introduced in season 1. The operating system of the Gundams is linked to Veda, allowing the quantum computer to provide support to the Gundams and their pilots. As suggested by Ian Vashti, Fereshte severed their links to Veda when it is evident that Celestial Being's plans were being compromised, and Sherilyn Hyde replaced the Veda-linked Operating System used in Fereshte's Gundams with a copy of the Ptolemaios team's stand-alone operation system. [15] Without support from Veda, piloting the Gundams and completing missions will be tougher for the pilots. [16] Variants [ ] All There in the Manual: The six official 00 related works, 00P, 00F, 00V, 00V Senki, 00N, and 00I fill in various details left unexplained in the series, such as who and what happened to Feldt Grace's parents, what happened in the gap between the two seasons, and so on.
