The Mike Abundo Effect

The penultimate episode of Gundam 00 season one was a bloodbath, but evidence suggests cocky comic relief cockroach Patrick Corlasawar may have survived his latest and greatest defeat. Compare the location of the GN-X’s cockpit with the remains of Patrick’s GN-X.

The cockpit is clearly intact. Even through the bloodiest episode of the series so far, that bumbling diehard Patrick may have cheated death yet again. I don’t know whether to laugh or scream. If this is an Easter egg for eagle-eyed Gundam 00 fans, then it’s a damn good Easter egg.

Oh well. If he did survive, at least his last word wasn’t “Eh?”

If you’ve got to go, go out with a bang. After narrowly cheating death two episodes ago, Gundam 00’s Lockon Stratos faces death like a true anime badass. After personally firing a giant gun in outer space, he does a Spike Spiegel right before the weapon detonates.

Lockon is survived by an evil twin, a loli, and a Haro. See you, Space Cowboy.
