Virtue and Kyrios used the particle shield as a heat shield when they performed their atmospheric re-entry back in ep....2?Originally Posted by masamuneehs
And to get from a Jihadist to Gundam pilot, take a look back at ep1. Exia pretty much appeared a god in front of Setsuna.
I'm actually surprised Ali can remember a guy from years back based on seeing a sword style, though we didn't really get to know how long they've known each other for.
i still don't like the GN particle shield... I never really liked 'energy shields'. I suppose my problem with them is that they make the gap between the Gundams and regular MS even wider, something I don't think they really need to do... must be pressure to make the Virtue look cooler for model kit sales...
I don't know how much time Ali spent with Setsuna, but it looks like he proved to be a very good conman in recruiting him as a child soldier... Him seeing Setsuna in how he pilots the Exia is a stretch, but it's anime stapler for connecting characters when one has a secret identity.
Also, Setsuna's comment about "If that is Ali, where is his God now?" I couldn't tell if that was a rhetorical, semi-sarcastic question meant to mean that Setsuna knows Ali wasn't really in Kurdistan for religious goals, or if it's some kind of benchmark that Setsuna sets. Buffalo's comment about Exia being pretty much a god to Setsuna makes me think that maybe his "jihadist" ways haven't changed at all. He simply got a "god" that answers his prayers... so he serves that one now...
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
What Im really looking forward to is the meeting between Setsuna and "his fated person", whose identity everyone knows by now. Its high time they meet. Its already been 7 episodes. I wonder how Setsuna willchange though.
Peace.
I think this is a reference to his days as a child soldier. The fact that he survived as a child soldier in the middle of a war involving mobile suits must have caught Veda's (or whoever this person is) eyes as he needed someone who had the instincts and experience of a good soldier? Or sheer coincidence that had to do with the gundam he saw and the mysterious circumstances involved in Ep. 1 they haven't revealed?What did he mean by, "I'm the one still alive" in that context?
