He's totally right, and the booster was shown off at the end of Episode 6 when the banshee was equipped with it, thus used against mobile suits from the Nahel Argama.

I was confused at first when I watched it the first time. Actually, was that the first time it was used in the OVA, I always rewatch the first 5?

Yeah, it was the first time it was used.

@Razorwing: Same here! And this cover image suggests it will among with others from "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Bande Dessinee" suggests that Unicorn Gundam will get it:

Though I'm not sure how far that manga is into the story compared with the OVA.

Also, "Mobile Suit Gundam - Unicorn Bande Dessinee" is partially used for the OVA adaptation. "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Bande Dessinee" started out as being a new story different from the original novelization and OVA. Though they clearly mixed the 2 when they made episode 6 by adding "Armed Armor DE".

She might have said that, but that doesn't make the Delta Plus a Gundam all of a sudden :p Delta Plus is just a powerful mobile suit which is based off of a Gundam and the only Gundam in Gundam Unicorn are Unicorn Gundam and Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee. Delta Plus and Gundam Delta Kai are going to be featured in an upcoming manga in December by the way.

@Razorwing: Good luck :p

Well, if in the anime Unicorn gets it then Bandai will get to make another kit, reusing the Unicorn mold and adding the Armed Armor DE parts.

(or maybe it works in reverse, Bandai affects what gets in as a sponsor?)

Then if such a kit comes some people may regret buying a book or another Norn for the parts.

^As far as I know it's the writers of the series who decides what gets to be put into the anime/manga. The creators of the series also come up with the various mobile suit designs and whatnot. I do believe they have to run it through Bandai for critique and whatnot. But I don't think Bandai has a say in what gets shown in a certain anime/manga. And certainly not if it's an adaption of an already established story, like Gundam Unicorn. IMO, it would also ruin the story if Bandai decides to suddenly add things that aren't even part of the story/original story.

Also, I don't know if anyone has noticed it but Unicorn Gundam actually already has it in episode 6. I can't believe we all missed it.. but I just checked it and he definitely has it.

Really? :p I thought I was the only one who noticed a dozen replies ago when the episode came out. You spoke about it only being in the manga, right? (I'm too lazy to scroll.) :D

Then click the arrow on the post that iron2000 quoted of me in his post :p You'll see we were talking about the fact that Unicorn 02 Banshee had it, and talking about it like Unicorn didn't have it yet. I never said that Armed Armor DE was only in the manga, I suggested that since Unicorn Gundam also has it in the manga that he'll get it in episode 7 as well. But he already has it in episode 6.

Oh! Yea, yea, now I remember, I was thinking about the Banshee rather than the Unicorn. Then again, there's the full armor, which I wondered how it would maneuver so well. :p

Unicorn Gundam even has 3 Armed Armor DE, lol. Can't believe that I missed it :pinch: He has 1 on each arm and one on his back.

Also, the mobile suit is pretty strong so they adjusted his arms to counter the weight. Plus, most of the stuff is on his back as well.

I'm just gonna rewatch all 6 again, eventually, and check out all the armor again along with studying all the character's backgrounds. :p

Haha, same :p Though I'll be watching them before watching episode 7 just to catch up on everything again.

I do the same every time the next one comes out! :D

I wish there was a series where it could just keep going, like additional series for 00. Ahh man, 10 seasons going and still fresh.

I'm glad that Gundam isn't an anime like that. The only anime that kept going on and on that I've seen is Dragonball Z. I'm glad that they never followed that format with Gundam because it wouldn't be fresh with 10 season at all. Gundam 00 also rounded up pretty nicely with the 2nd season so it could've even have gone on for 10 seasons.

There needs to be a start, a middle and a proper ending. You can't really achieve that by going on for 10 seasons. They'd just keep milking it with filler episodes and whatnot. I'd much rather see several series set in 1 universe like they did with Universal Century. But it's now seems to be the trend to start a new universe with each anime they're producing for television.

Totally true, Gundam 00 will always remain my favorite as it seems to store something more logical throughout the story than all the other series besides U.C. Heck I'm still trying to get my mom back into Gundam, but she'd only watch Naruto and Inuyasha.

Actually Naruto Shippuden, given that that new episodes come out every Thursday, and it's the 312th episode, they seem to round it up great now being over 600 episodes in within the 2 series, but of course there are many fillers to it, but the story is vastly huge and connected throughout almost every character.

Gundam 00's film didn't really fit the series IMO though. There shouldn't be aliens in the Gundam Franchise, lol. Also, the 2nd season of it was a bit of a mess as far as I can remember. It was a good season but it was a bit of a mess compared to the 1st season.

Anyway, Gundam shouldn't make a series of 600 episodes like ever. The shorter stories is what makes Gundam a good anime. Also, you can't really compare Naruto with Gundam because Gundam is about wars. Having a war spanned over 600 episodes would become boring pretty quickly.

In the movie, there's only one thing that questions me. The apparent clone of Trinity.

In the 2nd season, it's because they were really trying to fit in the tradition of having newtypes and cyber newtypes, blonde guys with masks, and the main characters who always happen to be lucky to pilot the Gundam in eventuality.

The later doesn't make sense for Gundam 00. It's not like in Mobile Gundam Suit were he decides to pilot a Gundam. Setsuna was basically chosen to be the pilot by Celestial Being. For me those weren't really the reasons why it was a mess. The 1st season just felt way better than the 2nd season. Story telling felt better, the characters felt better. Saji's crap didn't have to be in season 2 and Louise was kinda annoying as well. I'd have to re-watch season 2 to see what made me feel like it was a mess though. But I do remember I had that feeling the 1st time around when I watched it.

Also, Mina Carmine actually is a clone of Nena Trinity. It's nothing new in the Gundam Franchise. Full Frontal is a clone of Char in the manga as well which is even more apparent.

The aliens are the only thing that bothers me about the movie. It just doesn't make sense in the Gundam franchise, IMO. That and that Setsuna and Marina say the same thing at the end is what bothered me.

You're right on being chosen. I suppose Gundam 00should be considered a covert version of the franchise along with MS 08th.

I loved the 1st season for the story, I love the 2nd season for the action. It was episode 11 I believe, when Setsuna first quantized himself, that's where I got crazy about it! I'm the aesthetic type. :p Saji and Louise was definitely annoying. But I don't think it'd be as easy for the creators to cut a character out to the next season unless that character made an exit or was killed.

Gundam 00 came out as one of the most aggressive in my opinion, and one of the few gundams where scenes aren't repetitive like Seed.

Well, 08th MS Team is something completely different than Gundam 00. 08th MS Team is just about a mobile suit infantry in UC. Gundam 00 is about Celestial Being trying to eradicate war.

That's true, but they could've made them appear less annoying in the 2nd season :p Not sure what it was for season 2 that did it for me. The first episode maybe with the stealthy Setsuna. The 2nd time of watching season 2 that episode made some impact on me. Then again, the 2nd time of watching Gundam 00 I was watching it in 1080p, that already did a lot on its own.

You're forgetting about Gundam Wing, which Gundam 00 shares similarities with. Gundam Wing was very aggressive as well and more western than any of the Gundam series.

Gundam 00 also rounded up pretty nicely with the 2nd season so it could've even have gone on for 10 seasons

while true, the movie tried to cram too much in and could have instead been a third season (would have had a LOT of potential doing it that way i think). as it was they hardly got to show off the new gundams in the movie

I'd almost say the G-Gundam was more western than Gundam Wing. but that could just be me

Ehh, Gundam Wing was more of a "take it seriously" version of G-Gundam + Gundam 00. Gundam Seed was too J-pop for me and I just watched the 2 seasons again.

Not really sure how something from the past could be something else from the past mixed with the future :p If any, the creators of Gundam 00 looked at Gundam Wing for inspiration. There's lots of similarities. There's hardly any similarity between G-Gundam and Gundam Wing though if you ask me. And yeah, Gundam Wing was a series with a more serious tone, than the ones after Zeta Gundam.

True that. It would've been a better story if they had done that.

I'd almost say the G-Gundam was more western than Gundam Wing. but that could just be me

Well, Gundam Wing is the first Gundam show to be popular in the US and even more popular than in Japan. That's why I called it a more western Gundam series.

Snip!

Snip!

Seriously? 3.0? Should be interesting.

Very interesting. People thing that it's the RG version in MG form, i.e. color separation and loads of decals. It does look to have more decals than v2.0. I'll definitely be getting v3.0, even though I already have v2.0 :p

    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.

    • Meta will now use data from outside businesses to personalize AI responses by David Uzondu In an update that's rolling out globally (except in a handful of countries), Meta will use your data from outside businesses to personalize your AI responses and your primary feeds. Meta already utilizes your shopping activity to target ads, but the company now plans to expand this tracking to personalize other "parts of your experience" like feed algorithms and AI assistant chats. The company is replacing the two settings ("Your activity off Meta technologies" and "Activity from other businesses") that currently let you disconnect off-platform activity with a single, renamed setting called Activity from other businesses. If you don't want Meta to manipulate your feed and AI responses using your outside history, you can just turn the Activity from other businesses setting off in your account settings. This toggle resides within your Accounts Center, applying your choice to every connected profile. Turning this off will not stop companies from sending your data to Meta. The company will still collect your web interactions, but it only uses them to train products, while still accessing external accounts you connect. When The Verge spoke to Meta spokesperson Emil Vazquez, the representative said that this update will exclude several locations at launch, including the European region, the UK, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, South Korea, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Kenya. The new update comes at a time when the social media giant is recovering from a major PR disaster involving generative AI. Last week, there was a huge security issue on Instagram where attackers figured out a way to trick Meta AI into handing over account ownership (even if the victim had 2FA enabled). Some of the affected accounts include the dormant Obama White House profile, cosmetics brand Sephora, the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force, and security researcher Jane Manchun Wong. Internally, the company also had to scale back plans on its Model Capability Initiative (MCI), an employee-monitoring program designed to train corporate AI models by recording worker keystrokes and screen activity, after employees raised privacy concerns and complained about severe battery life drain.
    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
