[EDIT] Short version of the interesting/new stuff as far as I’m concerned:
- Wang’s lost all her money by some point after ep 17.
- Marina’s song got on the radio because a soldier happened to hear it, decided to record it and sent it to a radio station.
- Lyle is a massive faggot and saw Anew’s gold eyes multiple times and noticed that they always got attacked a few hours after it happened, but he still NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO HIS COMRADES.
- When Revive is captured, Hiling decides that, once they’re done unifying the world, she’ll ask Ribbons to build a useless facility near the North Pole and have Revive demoted to a position there. (I would pay to see the scene of her imagining this in the SE)
- Anew didn’t shoot Feldt because Anew’s a female model and has an unconscious aversion to harming members of the same sex.
- Tieria honed combat, MS development and general battleship operation skills during the timeskip (hence why he’s a competent pilot for Ptolemy among other things)
- Nena gets sliced in half by the Regenant’s claws.
- Susano-o’s swords, Shiranui and Unryuu, were built with some components from Masurao’s beam sabres named Howard and Daryl {corrected because I’m not up on my gunpla box info}
[EDIT] Shot of the illustration advertising the final volume from 2ch via /m/:

Mmm, delicious Ribbons.
[EDIT] Speaking of Ribbons, oh god wat:
No I don’t know what it’s from, just saw it on one of the 2ch image upload sites. I’m scared.
From kouryakukan, updating as I go:
00 S2 Novel 4 Summary
{some bits of this are more paraphrased than directly translated; I’m only noting parts where I’m skipping sections/heavily abbreviating it}
It covers up until Setsuna and Bushido’s final battle.
The episode with Lyle and Anew has been drastically revised.
Nena’s death scene was made more gory.
{Info about the cover and illustrations, we’ve seen the front cover, back cover is Cheridum, the pinup is of Gadessa, Garazzo and Gadess and the backside of it is Lyle and Anew again}
Since it went on sale after the series ended, there isn’t much in the way of spoilers but there are many new episodes.
Mainly with respect to the emotional component.
P23 Prologue
Lyle and Anew
{through P29, just Lyle and Anew flirting, there’s a kiss scene, idk I’m gonna skim over most of their romance shit because I don’t really like either of them — check this post on the 00 LJ com if you’re interested in those bits, they kindly filled in the gaps caused by my laziness/character bias}
P29 Chapter 1
Marie’s turned into Souma again and has a scene with Saji.
Saji fails miserably at trying to get Souma to understand Al’s feelings about keeping her out of battle.
“Are you trying to rob me of my chance to express my anger and my grief!?”
P55

It’s clear that Wang Liu Mei’s assets have been depleted.

She reflects on Sergei’s death and her hatred of Andrei.

Added scene depicting Andrei’s feelings.
“It’s not a joke! I still haven’t even called her by her first name!” {sorry, no context to make that make more sense}
P158
Tieria vs Revive; Revive’s captured by Seravee.
P171
Revive imagines Hiling snidely reporting his capture to Goodman.
In her stubborn mind, Hiling swore that once the world was unified, she’d ask Ribbons to build a useless facility somewhere near the North Pole and have that stuck-up man demoted [to a position there]. {Note: According to kouryakukan at least, Hiling does expressly use the word “man” in reference to Revive; also, lol Hiling}
P177
Chapter 3
P186-7
2 page spread. Lyle, Sumeragi and Tieria across from Revive. And Anew with a gun to Millena’s head.
P190
Anew’s rampaging through Ptolemy, pretty much the same as what we saw in the anime. Apparently she didn’t hurt Feldt because Anew was made female and had an unconscious dislike of hurting members of her sex.

P257-63
{blah, Lyle and Anew both recognized that there was something missing in each other, Lyle angsts meh…}
P267

Setsuna thinks Lyle ought to hit him some more.
P283
Chapter 4

P309-10
Depiction of Setsuna’s awakening as an Innovator.
[The wound to his right shoulder was healing bit by bit for the first time]
[Setsuna was becoming aware that he himself was changing from the start]
Saji and dream-Lockon (Neil)’s words crossed Setsuna’s mind.
“I’m… changing. I wonder what the result will be.”
P317-28
{Nena kills Hong Long. Wang bitches about having to take the head-ship in her brother’s place}

P361-4
Louise rejoicing after killing Nena:
“I did it. I did it. I killed her.”
“The sensation from when the [my] talons {and something, nfc what ずむり is} thrust into her stomach is still on my hands.”
“I went as far as killing someone for revenge, I wonder if my parents would be proud.”
[Louise's world was changed]
[But, there was no love there]
P365-88
Setsuna vs Bushido
P365-66 Description of Susano-o’s weapons
In the left hand “Shiranui” and in the right “Unryuu” were the beam sabres from Masurao’s left and right hands respectively, which used the beam oscillators from Howard and Daryl’s beam sabers {;~; I’m touched!}
The beam oscillators for “Shiranui” in the left hand and “Unryuu” in the right came from Masurao’s left and right weapons, “Howard” and “Daryl” respectively. {thank you LJ for alerting me to my error!}
P366
Susano-o was equipped the ability to deploy a GN field, but didn’t really think he should use it.
P366
In the beginning of the battle, Setsuna was distracted by Louise vs Nena, but Bushido’s attacks didn’t make him turn around even once.
“Are you finally putting your all into this?”
P367
Susano-o illustration.
P368
Bushido’s monologue:
“I’ve already accumulated so many weapons I can’t even count them all.
To be precise, let me say it 182 times!” {umm… I think I may have something wrong in here, fucking Bushido speak}
P369-70
Bushido’s monologue goes on and on:
“I want to fight. I want to fight and win. Against a Gundam!
It’s fine if you’re an obstacle to my desires from the beginning to the end!
That’s where my sky is clear!
There isn’t a single cloud in that sky!
Even space too! (“space” is glossed “sky”)”
P372

“Please, cut me down!”
P380
Bushido exited Susano-o’s cockpit because the emergency escape function was activated (the hatch opened on it’s own)
P381
Bushido’s feelings
[The enlightenment that was in my mind has vanished, and in it's place the feeling defeat rains down like rain from dark clouds and soaks deeply into his heart]
[It's not just swordsmanship, he feels like he's lost on a level even above that. He's tasting a strong sense of disgrace and defeat that he's never experienced before.]
P382
From Setsuna to Bushido.
“Fight to live.”
P383
Saji says to Setsuna:
“Setsuna…Thank you. I feel the same way.”
P384-8
Bushido’s feelings.
P387
Floating around the cockpit is the trusty sword he received from his teacher.
P388
“Fight to live”
Setsuna’s voice troubles Bushido.
P389 Epilogue
Regene’s monologue.
P392
In the instant the 00 Raiser struck the last blow against Susano-o, Setsuna unconsciously let loose his QBW.
P394-5
2 page spread preview of the next volume
Setsuna and Ribbons in normal suits. Reborns Gundam in the background.
Setsuna “This rebirth you’ve brought about… I’ll destroy it myself!”
This is probably the last volume covering the TV series.
But, since volume 4 was titled “Anew Return” Lyle and Anew were the focus…
There was absolutely no mention of Kati and Patrick….
DONE!
More Lyle/Anew, Anew’s eyes go gold, apparently it’s not the first time Lyle’s seen this happen and has realized that they always get attacked a few hours after it happens {ohmygod what a fucking idiot}
he’s indeed and it still annoys me SO much that he ALWAYS put anew ahead of everything else. once again he was just a selfish bloody jealous moron. i dont think i really disliked any Gundam main characters this much before. even after end of S2, i still cant appreciate him and put in same level as Neil.
{through P29, just Lyle and Anew flirting, there’s a kiss scene, idk I’m gonna skim over most of their romance shit because I don’t really like either of them}
LOL me agrees.

Now you’d think, that having made the connection between Anew’s gold-eye episodes and attacks that Lyle might have bothered to find a way to alert the crew without exposing Anew. It’s not like it’d be terribly difficult to do if he wanted to protect her so badly.

damn lyle if he informed CB about anew earlier then anew wouldn’t of been able to steal data on the twin drive system which was used by the innovators to develope reborns gundam.
But funny how the romance freaks are always willing to overlook that but they didn’t overlook the wangs betrayal.

Thanks for translating, GH.
On P171, isn’t that “man” referring to Goodman? (as in Hiling wants to exile him to the North Pole because of his sarcastic remark about Licensors)
By: anon on 2009/10/30
at 06:18
I guess it could be, but considering the context I’m pretty sure it’s Revive.

>P284
Oh GH, let’s be fair. LESS HATE, HIS ~WOMAN~ JUST DIED.
Anyway, I adore that Bushido used parts of Howard and Daryl’s sabers for his own. It’s so sweet. ;w; I’m also happy he never abused the GN shield, honestly — it would’ve seemed out of place, unnecessary, and not Graham’s style~
I think the best part of this novel is the moe Hiling part, though. She’s so awful to Revive. :3

“{thanks Lyle :D, you sure are useful in a crisis!}”
I dunno about you, but I’d be slightly mopey too if my girlfriend just died. =/
But yes, thanks for the translation. Bawwing at Graham having the Howard and Daryll blades

Creepy Chibi Setsuna/Ribbons scares me.
I love Hilling even more now and good god Lyle’s an idiot.
Thankx as always.

Anew didn’t shoot Feldt because Anew’s a female model and has an unconscious aversion to harming members of the same sex.

Nope. Feldt was not mentioned at all in the summary. Might show up in the last book, idk.

“- Lyle is a massive faggot and saw Anew’s gold eyes multiple times and noticed that they always got attacked a few hours after it happened, but he still NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO HIS COMRADES.”
Compare with:
“P271
{Lyle and Anew in particle space, Lyle has a scar on his head from where he fell out of a tree when he was young and only Anew knows about it}”
He hit his head, maybe?

You know, maybe if he told them, they might’ve been able to save Anew? Just saying.
But any opportunity to beat on Lyle being a massive turd, well…

- Anew didn’t shot Feldt because she is a female type
- A random soldier recorded Marina’s song and sent it to a radio station
I can’t decide which of these excuses is the lamest one LOL
