Only CCA and the original series were featured during that sequence. There was nothing from Zeta or ZZ there.

Huh. Still looks cool.
Oh. Heh. Guess I haven't actually watched MSG or CCA in awhile either.
Welp, just preordered Neo Zeong off of HLJ.
Did the final episode influence your decision? Also, how much did shipping cost you?

I was gonna get it anyway, but episode 7 pushed me over the edge. As for shipping, it hasn't been calculated yet, but I'm expecting over $50 for sure if not way more, haha.
iirc,
they flashback to Amuro pushing back Axis then to A Baoa Qu (White Base exploding) then Lalah then the battle of Solomon.
You done goufed, donkey. Just wait until they announce the TITANIUM version.
Holy cow Episode 7 was a ride. The battles were amazing although the final one was a bit anticlimactic. The narrative in this episode surprised me as it was more coherent and less boring than the previous episodes and I really enjoyed it.
Also, I will never understand how they can pull these giant superweapons out of nowhere all the time. Like seriously, how ridiculous was the
I literally laughed out loud at the Unicorn

Neo-Zeong? Where did this magic technology that melts all weaponry come from?

They were building the Neo Zeong aboard the Rewloola (which I'm really sad to see destroyed ;_
in episode 6.
As for it's fate. It was implied that the same thing happened to the Neo Zeong that happened to the Nu Gundam. The psycho frame resonance became too much for it to bear, causing it to disintegrate.

I think he means where the
technology for the Psyco Shard (?) came from, not the Neo Zeong itself.

I think there was a psychological component to it too.
Frontal sees the end of time, realizes that nothing will change anyway and just gives up, so his psycowaves disintegrate the Sinanju. Banagher chooses to keep going, which is why the Unicorn stays intact.
Technically, it's been there since Zeta Gundam, they just keep adding more and more of it to the suits.
Zeta introduces the psycommu, which is a sensor that feeds off the pilot's thoughts and feelings (psycowaves). CCA introduces the concept of the psycoframe, which is just thousands of those psycommus installed throughout the cockpit. Then in UC, we have the Unicorn and Banshee, whose pscyoframe is built in the entire body of the suit instead of just the cockpit -- so figure that's gotta be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of psycommus. The more psycommus in a mobile suit, the greater the pilot's psycowaves become amplified -- and at a certain point, those waves are strong enough to actually manipulate minovsky particles and manifest physically.
So the equipment hasn't really changed, they just use more of it, resulting in weirder aftereffects.

Just finished the final episode. Yeah... was a great series.
Thought the whole newtype/humanity time trip thing was a bit over done and was hoping they would skip doing stuff like that for a more grounded ending, minus of course any main character dying like Mirida which always causes big psychological "woah" in Gundam UC.
Love LOVE LOVE those Jesta spec-opsish dudes though. They should get a spin off show haha.
Finished watching Unicorn 7 today, that last battle was such a let down. I enjoyed it overall, though I barely remember what happened in the other episodes, except 6 which I watched yesterday. So I'm not sure I understood the plot and the whole of the politics. Finally is
Full Frontal just some dude or is he a straight up Char clone?
In the novel, Full Frontal
The OVA isn't really clear, but the implication I got from the ending was that
is a cyber-newtype who has been surgically altered by the Republic of Zeon to look and sound like Char. The Zeons had a piece of psycoframe leftover from the Sazabi that contained an imprint of Char's personality/memories, and they force this into Frontal's mind so that he effectively becomes like Char.
The OVA isn't really clear, but the implication I got from the ending was that
Frontal actually is possessed by some piece of the real Char's ghost, presumably through psycoframe/newtype shenanigans.

I loved that in the end there we heard
Overall episode 7 was amazing and Unicorn is the tightest Gundam show. Just cool, solid, well produced and it understands what makes Gundam great. Also Full Frontal is an awesome antagonist. Every time he's on screen you don't know what he's up to. Maybe he really doesn't know it himself either, but in the final episode he definitely came off as a memorable villain and not just an attempt at trying to capture what made Char so good.
Lalah and Amuro. It's kind of weird to me though. Why would they give a shit about a Char clone?

Well, its supposed to be Bageena or Bajeena. But you know what happens when the japanese try to romanize things!

You haven't seen Zeta? His Hyaku Shiki is the coolest.
I thought those names were supposed to be stupid.
the hyaku shiki?
I used to have the very old HG release of it. wonder if they put out a new one.
looks like they put one one in 2004 with the bazooka, but no gold plating? lols

I've only watched Build Fighters and a bit of Mobile Suit Gundam. Still really new to all this. lol
Also naming their group "Celestial Being" was a weird move. Like, all the names in 00 were odd now that I think about it.
"My name is Saji, and I am from the very japanese family of Crossroads."

I've got the gold played Master Grade Hyaku Shiki kit. Bought it years ago, have yet to build it. Maybe this summer with my daughter.

Same dude then has the audacity to say that Setsuna has a weird name.
I also consider it a plot hole that all the inovades have such obviously stupid names but nobody catches the spy working on their ship.
I'm probably the worst gunpla builder of all time. I completed the shoulders of the Exia only to realize to my -horror- that the right arm actually had a nub catch which apparently got clipped off by mistake. This isn't a huge problem, can probably fix it up with clement if I really needed to, but since I'm going to be replacing the leg part anyway, I might as well just replace that arm part as well. For now the GN cable is just going to have to dangle there. Lol.
I'm definitely not ordering any parts until I finish the weapons as well later this week. Wanna make sure that I've broken everything I can possibly break before replacing stuff. Roflmao. >_<
Enjoy some poorly lit almost-completed RG Exia:

When it comes to 00 though its all good, it just goes with the territory.
It's an alternate universe future where everything is normal except only people with goofy names evolved.

I'd like to think that if the Exia showed up to a battle in that condition, everyone else would stand down from the fear that the pilot is either a complete badass or batshit insane.
I love this.
