Monthly Archive for December, 2005

Renton apparently has time to reflect back on his past and present experiences with his new “family” and admits that he’s fallen in love with his angel Eureka, although he would still like to know who (or what) she is and hopes that he’ll find the answer to his question sometime in the near future. The Corelian is still under heavy investigation of why it exists and what it is exactly, and everyone has described it as either a ghost or a monster. However, neither description is applicable since it cannot be described in words alone. In order to fully understand it, one must become the phenomenon.

Dominic has been busy investigating the Gekko-Go and its members and discovers from past reports that the TypeZERO was the first LFO the military had found and was discovered by three scientists - Doctor Yauchi, Doctor Diamond, and Adrock Thorston, who was famous for saving the world. He’s also learned that the LFO’s pilot, Eureka, was controlled under complete secrecy by the U.F. Force with no explanation as to why she was assigned to the SOF 1st Mobile Corps. She had mysteriously disappeared from the military two years and nine months ago, around the same time when a new ship had been built under the strictest secrecy and was not even off the assembly line, known as the SL-1200 Mk-II. Not only was the development of the ship unapproved by high-ranking military officials and the Prohibition Council, but its very existence had already been terminated to begin with.

Holland had brilliantly used this knowledge to his advantage by falsifying on-site documents as well as manipulating information in order to create a non-existent battle that made it possible for him to have the ship easily handed over to him. The military hadn’t even known about the ship’s existence beforehand and was undoubtedly taken by complete surprise. Not only did Holland send out a loud and clear “F*** You” message to the military, but he also made sure that everyone else knew about this new ship by exposing it to the public and even created his own media (ray=out), disclosing information on the Coralian that the military had carefully kept hidden from the public all that time. Basically, he wanted to create as much chaos for the military as possible and succeeded in achieving his goal.

This episode was pretty much a recap of past episodes, but it was nicely done and still very entertaining. I always wondered why the military was so invested on destroying the Gekko Go and especially its leader, and this episode was successful in explaining some of the questions that were unanswered from previous episodes. However, new questions have arisen such as the contents of the Ageha Plan and why it was unexpectedly dropped? Perhaps it’s been mentioned in previous episodes and I somehow missed it? If so, I’ll have to rewatch the previous episodes to see what I missed. In any case, this episode has definitely proven that Holland was and still is worthy of Renton’s admiration.
