Is this a reference to some other series?

Bleach indeed. Here are the two pages concerned:
Compare page 1
Compare page 2

I don't know who got the idea, but that's awesome.

Next episode: Rebirth. Nice, we get to see what the whole deal was about Aeolia's plan.

Healing and Revive will still try and fry Setsuna next time. Guess they have had it coming for a long time...

Allelujah is aware of Hallelujah. Let's see what he makes of it.

Destiny Gundam: so what? Ali was a mad dog of war. He was an awesome bastard on the surface, but just a conflict loving annoying poodle underneath. It's only fitting he was put down in the simplest way possible, i.e. a shameful death. That way, even if Ali's fan scream blue murder, a point will be m...

Coming dialogue with whom? Perhaps will we see Ze Balmari Empire?:mrgreen: In the sub I got, Lasse was not complaining about the 0 Gundam, but merely stating that at close quarters, Trans-Am was useless. Thus the clones are just as disadvantaged as he is. And it's about time we get the full explanat...

They have made the game harder than W (not that surprising, considering W's easiness...), I would say it is about at the level of the OG games for GBA. I actually had to think about my actions on the first stage, which did not occur since A Portable. I would say it is balanced. The new presentation ...

What's more, all the new equipment for Seravee is actually affixed on Seraphim. We might still see those backborn cannons or whatever in action. Tieria has changed even more than I suspected: he actually showed anger this episode, when blasting the Divine clones to bits. Since his declaration of hum...

Well, the nickname Baka was given by the US forces. There was no reason to be a nice nickname... The Japanese name was Ohka, as I mentionned. We saw where Seraphim's cockpit was. Tieria used it as an emergency exit, since Seravee's one seems to have been totaled and it was blocked under the suit. Th...

Good episode. Truly shows what a bastard Ribbons truly is.
Kantian categorical imperative for clones? Nope...

There was an aircraft at the end of WW2 dedicated to kamikaze attacks in the Japanese army called the Baka. I guess somebody has been reviewing its classics.
The full name was Yokosuka Ohka.
The parallel to the Gaga is rather nice.

Yes, that would be under the super soldier trope.
Thanks

Or it's simply Ribbons can only control what cannot defend itself against such intrusions. Anew did not know she was an Innovator, that information had been locked inside her mind, so she couldn't defend herself against such intrusions: she did not know they could happen.

A favourite series system is pretty much confirmed, since there are pics of upgrade screens with the specific blue tiles.

Ah, yes, indeed. Kinda hard to recognise people you just scooped up from the ground with a spoon...
Thanks

I am a major in Law and I'm preparing another degree in bioethics. My teacher asked me to look for possible applications of genetics in the military field (and see what it could garner as opposition in national law, but that, I can manage.). I have a few ideas, ye ol'super soldier, new diseases, dis...

The Rats in the Wall, seconded. One of the scariest short stories I've ever read. I re-read it in our old family house at night (I had forgotten it was so scary...), I almost shat myself when my dear cat came into the room by pushing the door and making it produce one of those nerve-wracking creakin...

There are such things as internal locking mechanisms. The GN Sword II's quite obviously "clamps" into position whenever it switches forms. Sure, but somehow, I always feel better using an old lockable folding knife than a balisong, which is just as safe, but does not have a visible lock.....

The GN Sword IIs don't fold, the blade just rotates There is an axis around wich the blade swivels, without any sort of external locking mechanism to block it into position. I would say that's the difference between a normal Swiss army knife and your lockable switchblades (don't know if I'm really ...

While the GN Sword III looks cool, I don't see why it's necessary.

Bacause the current swords are not rigid enough? Remember, they actually fold when going from one function to another. Given Murphy's law, it would be almost unavoidable for them to fold when entering a GN Field.

Lyle will fight Innovators by his own will, not Catharon's, not Celestial Being's, just before remembering his brother. Interesting... Could it be he is not so detached from his brother that he implied? Allelujah tells Soma about the promise he made Sergei. Unfortunately, my Japanese is not good en...

Sein is the standard form of the word "being" in German. Actually, it would rather be Wesen . Japanese German is always a good laugh. The Schwert Gewehr bit did not strike as odd: it does after all use a sword combined with a rifle. I guess they will add SEED-exclusive MS (Duel, Buster, e...
