Gundam 00 Episode 03

[Ryllharu]

What I took from this episode is that it's definitely a matter of tactics and pilots. The HRL Lt Colonel at least had a better idea about fighting Setsuna than Graham did. Why fight what is clearly an air superiority mech (shown from how many plane/mobile suits Exia annihilated in eps 1?) when you can try to handicap.

Granted, it didn't pan out too well, but at least Setsuna got serious and pissed off.

If not for the overwhelmingly superior Gundam, Setsuna could have been in a bit of trouble. I'm guessing that the white-haired girl is the HRL's ace, like Graham is to the Union. Perhaps things won't go so smoothly next time.

It could have just been Nyoro~n's translation, but I thought that the Gundams ran off the solar energy collected by the Ptolemaios, not the other way around. That's why the others were complaining about having to return to space occasionally.

Mendoi&Conclave's translations definitely said that the Flagship had very limited operating time without the Gundams, and the mechanism was used to transfer power from Virtue (and others when they come back).

Agreed that the Lieutenant was smart. Then again, he was clearly out to investigate and "see for himself", whereas Graham was just on an adrenaline rush. (and maybe also a bit of testosterone)

Lockon seems to be the one holding the group together. Setsuna's still a rookie. Hallelujah's introverted and has a bit of a loose tongue, whereas Tieria's just emotionally detached from the group.

Talking about character development, looks like we'll get some info on the girl who resembles a Chinese princess.
