S2 Official File 6 is really interesting

Now this is what a fucking Official File should look like!

[Sauce]

{From the section titled: ‘00′ story analyze Core of GUNDAM00 SECOND SEASON}

P4-7: Celestial Being
• Aeolia was neither a particularly good or bad man.
• The Observers do not know the entire plan. [The Observers] were randomly assembled from important persons of the era who support the plan.
• The five GN Drives aren’t necessarily safe.
*It seems that Mizushima is retracting his statement from a previous interview in which he said that “the five [drives] are being left alone.” It seems that the movie will be very entertaining, don’t you think?
• The GN Drive was Aeolia’s theoretical work. It was nothing but a design. It was the later scientists who discovered that it was impossible without Jupiter’s environment, and so with Jupiter the GN Drives were produced.
• Trans-am Burst was originally intended as the 00-Raiser’s [normal] Trans-am [mode]. Although it [should be] impossible in practice, Setsuna, having become an Innovator, made it a reality.
• When Aeolia was alive, Veda too was just an idea of his. Quantum Computing, Innovators and GN Drives were all just theoretical. (lol)

P8-11: Enemy Camp
• QBW levels (A, B and so on) were something the Innovedo came up with on their own. The Innovedo were under the impression that they were A-Level, but in reality they were B. The [only] one who can utilize A-Level QBW is Setsuna. Souma’s QBW level is lower than that of the Innovedo. And Louise’s is even lower.
• What Souma can do at her level is perceive QBW. Since she can perceive them, she can quickly/nimbly interact with things. Machines designed for use by super-soldiers takes advantage of this interaction speed. Although she can perceive [QBW] she cannot transmit them.
• Super-soldiers get [QBW] headaches when they repel QBW of the same frequency, much like magnets with like charges repel each other.
• Ribbons gave Louise the same substance that is used in the bodies of the Innovedo to develop QBW.
• It is established that the GN Drives and GN Particles are behind the QBW leveling up.

• The era the Innovado were created in and their tuning varies.
Ribbons’ type was most likely borne from an earlier model, and was given qualities which differ from the later types.
The personalities of the Innovedo who were born from then on were regulated to an extent.
• The biggest mistake of CB and Veda in producing the Innovedo was the construction of combat type Innovedo. “My kind are stronger than humans,” this sort of simple sentiment began to develop, and Ribbons was the first to realize the fundamental contradiction [behind the idea].
• Ribbons told Regene and the others, “I created you,” but he didn’t really create them so to speak, rather it’s just that data obtained from Ribbons went into [their creation].

And there’s still a shitton more, I’ll post more as I get further along.

[EDIT] Moar, going slow because ~stuff~ is happening at home:

P12-13: People dragged into the fight
• Regarding Marina’s song, the world was unaware that it was something she created. It’s a song that spread by word of mouth.
• Katharon participating in the Federation government was one part of the Federation’s reconciliation policy. They were ushered into parliament under the condition that they disarm.

P14-15: Innovedo
• Ribbons was the very first Innovedo produced.
• Through Alejandro Corner, Ribbons eliminated all of the Observers.
• Setsuna managed to defeat Ribbons because he had much more combat experience. In the beginning when Ribbons was created, he was allowed to develop the characteristics he happened to posses purely on his own, but it’s been a long time since he was on the front lines.
• Ribbons was O Gundam’s original Meister, but he knew that according to the plan the Meisters were to perish. Because of that, Ribbons considered surrendering [his position as a] Meister. “I want to see Aeolia’s plan to the end!” he thought. Ribbons didn’t want to die. Even though he didn’t understand that to the end, it was tied to the plan’s failure.
• Regene is a child. It’s not like he had his eye on the top position from the beginning. Beforehand, (the Innovedo) were unconsciously [programed with the command] “enforce Aeolia’s plan.” And so he cooperated with Tieria.
• “00″ is what you might call a “hivemind” (lol)

  Some more:

P16-17 Gundam Development Tree
P18-19 Enemy MS Development Tree

P20-22 Mizushima x Kuroda Interview
• In the midst of my life as a screenwriter throughout the series, I think I probably went through more drafts than ever with this project. More than one episode had to be rewritten 6-7 times.
It felt like I was in the deepest pits of hell (lol).
In the middle of it, I’d become defiant and [say things like] “If I rewrite it eight times it’ll be perfect!” (Kuroda)
{more general stuff about writing the series, skipping because I’m bored}

P23-25 Mizushima and Kuroda talk about the main cast.

{fuck Allelujah :D}

Tieria:
• Originally all of the Gundam Meisters were going to be Innovedo.
As a matter of fact, because Ribbons stepped down from being a Gundam Meister, a variety of humans were able to take his place.
Tieria was just Regene’s substitute.
That’s why he wasn’t given any information about it. {not following 100% so I might be reading this wrong}

Concerning Tieria’s “I… I… I…”
(It’s been established that the Innovedo are sexless)
• That was the depiction of his identity falling apart in battle (Mizushima)
• I (Kuroda) think that originally, Tieria used “boku,” but when he became a Gundam Meister, he convinced himself to switch to “ore.” As “ore” he took pride in being able to handle his duties with ease, but with his own failure that [identity] was shaken, “I… I… I…” he sobbed. His “boku” in the second season was the result of figuring out where he stood and finally being at ease with himself. He returned to “boku”.
Well, I guess there are still traces of the original “a beautiful woman disguised as a man” concept (lol)

• In the last episode it’s not exactly as if Tieria was able to make complete use of Veda’s capabilities.

Paraphrased/summarized snippets about the other characters (I’ll go back and do some of these properly later, just picking out the most interesting bits for the moment):

• Sumeragi is Spanish with Japanese ancestors.
• Feldt dyes her hair because she has a complex about not being born/raised on Earth.
• Lasse was supposed to die at the end of S1 but they changed it.
• Wang Liu Ming and Hong Long are half-siblings.
• Christina was a hacker. She had a bad relationship with her stepmother so she ran away from home and became a hacker. She decided to join CB to avoid being arrested.
• Lichty thought that because of the way his body was, he couldn’t fall in love normally. He gave up on the idea of happiness thinking he’d never be able to marry or have children.
{there’s more, I’m just stopping here for the moment}

Also if there was any lingering questions about Innovade genders:

The Innovedo, with the exception of Anew who is listed as female, are sexless.
* They’re not listed as “unknown” anymore, but rather “–.” On a related note, their birthdays and bloodtypes are all listed as “unknown” now.

  1. Lol Aeolia practically didn’t do anything then.

    And this shit makes things so much more interesting, most of it doesn’t even get mentioned in the anime. Awesome.

  2. fuck yea, this shit is interesting…

  3. Thanks, this is interesting, but also kinda “lol, read something instead of just watching the show if you want any answers. Too bad if you don’t speak Japanese and somebody doesn’t bother to translate the details.”

    Many shows get extra stuff that explains things at least a bit but, without this translation, we’d all be in the dark about some of these things.

  4. This makes it sound like Aeolia was just some crazy old kook/ecentric genius whose ideas happened to be funded by people who had money.

  5. “00″ is what you might call a “hivemind”
    Wow, considering the reference to one of my favorite novels I read when I was a kid: the Arthur C. Clark novel, Childhood’s End in the end of gundam 00. The book contains an interstellar hive mind called the Overmind. Interesting parallel.

  6. Hrm, though I seriously wonder what is Al/Hal’s QBW level though. IIRC Hal can transmit messages to Soma in S1.

    • well supposedly Hal/Al were supposed to match Soma (sent him to interact with her), so maybe about the same?

  7. “P16-17 Gundam Development Tree
    P18-19 Enemy MS Development Tree”
    Woah, I’d love to see those.

    • Me too. I hope scans surface eventually.

  8. Is it explained yet why Tieria got any information on the term ‘Innovados’/'Innovades’?

    • I haven’t seen anything yet. I’d guess it has something to do with Regene.

  9. • Trans-am Burst was originally intended as the 00-Raiser’s [normal] Trans-am [mode]. Although it [should be] impossible in practice, Setsuna, having become an Innovator, made it a reality.

    This one seems the most interesting. It seems to almost confirm that S2 was meant to been a lot more about understanding. (As opposed to the S2 we got with lots of pewpew) While The Trans-Am burst might have been too powerful, if they had used it like first intended the story with all the characters different agendas might have been far more interesting. For instance, a character like Wang Liu Mei could have had her real thoughts heard by Setsuna and this is how her true goal would have been revealed to us.

    • The Innovedo, with the exception of Anew who is listed as female, are sexless.¤¤

    So much for all the Newtype info saying Hilling was female. Well I wish there was more to this official file. They never talks about the stuff I found interesting in the show.

    • Hilling is sort of female,shes a “female model” Innovedo,as mentioned in the previous Official File,she’s the only female model Innovedo in Ribbons group [Now it makes more sense of course, since Anew is not counted as one].She’s still sexless,but she is sort of a female model.You can say that Ribbons and the other are still male model Innovedo,but are not real males because they lack the sex organs

      Anew is not just a female model Innovedo,she a real female period,with reproductive parts included.
