Gundam 00: Badass Lockon
A Gundam-sized beam saber can instantly vaporize a man on contact. My favorite Gundam 00 character, the Irish sniper Lockon Stratos, just took a beam saber in the face to protect his teammate. That’s how badass he is.
Even though he lost sight in one eye, his new eyepatch makes him look even more badass. How fitting that his Gundam sports a mean-looking cyclops mode.

Gundam 00 ED2: Stephanie - Friends
This song took a while to grow on me, but Stephanie’s powerful vocals in the second end theme to Gundam 00, Friends, really put the button on the emotional eighteenth episode.
Never has a Gundam ending sequence so tugged at the heartstrings. I wish more Japanese singers could belt like this.

From Nena’s murderous cuteness to Graham’s badass normalcy to Louise’s poetic tragedy to Setsuna’s insane recklessness, Gundam 00 episode 18 is a rip-roaring emotional rollercoaster ride.
Finally, we’re seeing some of the hardcore stuff we can expect from Fullmetal Alchemist director Seiji Mizushima. Until now, Z Gundam was the darkest Gundam series. Is Mizushima trying to beat that record?
I think I’m developing a crush on Nena Trinity. She just massacred a whole extended family of innocent civilians merely because their merriment annoyed her. There’s a certain dangerous thrill to sleeping with a capricious mass murdererer.
