Yes, yes you are Gundam Jesus. I like Real Jesus better, he at least has a manly beard.
So it seems that we have finally been given a map of the balance of power in the 24th Century as decreed by Sunrise. More on that later, but as much things change many things stay the same. Apparently 24 hour news only ever gets one hour worth of news that they constantly repeat, much like in the 21st Century. Even the blond has taken notice so it must more than on the hour every hour. I’d wager every five minutes. At least until some celebrity scandal or Angelina Jolie (what can I say she ages well) adopts another kid…
What and the ANZACs don’t get any credit?! For shame. Guess Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro did not live to see the 24th Century.
So the world has been divided into 3 major blocks and an indeterminate number of failed states or non-aligned nations, but let’s be real they are irrelevant. The Middle East especially since there is no more oil. At least Israel is gone, though I assume all the Jews decided that being in the desert for another 40 or more years was a complete waste of time. Besides if they wanted to live in a place where every one hated each other they may as well move to New York City because they at least have running water. I believe that in the 24th Century that they will have taken Solomon’s Temple and moved it to the NYC where the head of Mayor Michael Bloomberg was more than willing to make space by demolishing Yankee Stadium after the Red Sox had beaten the Yankees continuously for the past 300 years. Heck even the Mets had more MVP winners than the Yankees had wins by 2307.
I guess Pakistan did not meet the criteria for joining the League. Funny how South Korea still exists, but the North does not…
The good news is not limited to the Middle East though, for the US has defeated communism in the Western hemisphere. Cuba and Venezuela, after the collapse of oil, have been admonished for their socialist ways and have been dragged back into the free market. The invisible hand sure gave them a beating. The British Commonwealth disintegrates as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand have opted to join the Union rather than put up with Mother England. The Union has their elevator in South America, so I guess the US still has not solved that outsourcing problem yet. I take back what I said about Japan, they did join the Union after all. The AEU put theirs on what I hope is some prime African real estate, though they have bitten off a sizable chunk of Russia claiming St. Petersburg, Volgograd, and Moscow so that the Human Reformation League can’t visit Lenin’s Tomb (better that Mao’s tomb, Ho’s tomb, and Kim’s tomb combined), famous Red Squares, or anything past the Urals. The Human Reformation League counts resource rich or was rich Siberia and wisely placed their elevator in the South Pacific in the middle of the old SOSUS network. I bet they are gambling that the Union has no use for an system that they used to track nuclear subs and marine life.
Hey you forgot Poland.
In other news Wang Liu Ming not only wears the qipao in a show of Chinese backwardness but has bound feet as well since she needs a manservant to carry her. Rejoice otakudom of Japan not only does she wear backward clothing that accentuates he loli stature and large cup size, her bound feet means that she can’t run far or fast. Apparently Ms. Wang goes on safari Hollywood style, always carried and never afraid to wear heels instead of boots for Ms. Wang has no fear of stepping onto a pit viper… Sumeragi calls forth an armed intervention in Ceylon to halt their 300 year conflict and put an end to the HRL support for the Tamil Tigers. While these Gundams have stealth their heading was made bare and for some strange reason instead of a prepared defense ala Market Garden for the airdropped interlopers the HRL was woefully unprepared.
Whoa you are going to mate here? I guess Jungle Fever is the only tropical disease there.
As usual the Japanese guy Setsuna charges in like the tactically inept douche that he is; I knew he was not a Kurd! While the HRL has Russia it seems that they lost all that research regarding howitzers against heavily armored opponents, after all the Soviets figured out that turning the crew of a tank to mush was just as good as getting a penetrating hit. It seems this lesson was lost or Setsuna is not bound by the rules human squishiness… So declaring himself Gundam Jesus he strides forth and eliminates HRL forces despite their superior numbers and artillery support on a nearby hill. At least the HRL is using over watch tactics and the battle buddy system. The HRL navy must be run by idiots since they kept a carrier dangerously close to shore and used it as a battleship trying to give Virtue a pitiful broadside instead of using electronic countermeasures and smoke screen to make a hard rudder left in a bid to escape.
Ah, Windows 2307 Business Edition Standard. Like I said as much things change many things stay the same.
Kyrios makes a bombing run and wipes out a base while crying and whining about killing the peons that work there. Dynames makes short work of the HRL battery while Exia uses its swiss army knife to slice and dice. The HRL wisely though belatedly retreats while their enemies get chopped down in their attempt to pursue. Sumeragi’s plan to end the war is to have both sides bleed out so that they will be forced to negotiate a cease fire, or they could opt to simply fight to the last man woman and child. After all in a civil war both sides even the losing side will maintain a measure of reason… We all know that 300 years to build up hate can be easily dispelled by interventions against military targets over the course of a couple months. Setsuna leaves ahead of the others because he does not need a battle buddy or need to maintain formation. He gets mugged by Union’s Flag whose pilot Graham Acre is hardo gei for Gundam and demands that Setsuna give up his perfect grade gunpala.
Yep Cheez Whiz and beer make your job worth while. How about a pint of ice cream to drown your depression?
As to the AEU, Union, and HRL speculation on where the Celestial Beings get their funding, the JNN figures out that they are funded by Nazi gold procured by one Aeolia Schenberg. As Schenberg allegedly died 200 years prior he is the oldest surviving Nazi though I suspect he gained immortality from his work at Castle Wolfenstien.
Well this series just gets better and better; Nazi gold and ending ethnic conflicts that are hundreds of years old. Really with such impeccable logic maybe that is what needs to be done to bring peace to the Balkans; kill everybody. I cannot help but wonder what Ms. Wang is supposed to do. She just watches, I think that she might be a cheerleader. Sumeragi is drinking on duty though her best friend is not yet a bottle of whiskey; this makes me sad. So I am wagering that only one perhaps two more interventions are required before both sides accept Gundam Jesus as their personal savior.

That’s not Windows, it’s probably Linux-Apple; we all know in the future, Microsoft will be dissolved due to losses with Xbox 740 mangling his users due to faulty Green-Ray readers and Mecha-Steve Jobs will have bought the copyrights.
hmmm…you think by the 24th century, solution for AIDS was discovered/solved? haha…don’t forget Ebola…
by the 24th century (assuming) Hentai would still be a popular genre? hehehehehe!
anyway…I want to see President Bush piloting a Gundam! LOL!
ahhh…I think its Mac OS XXIV Century Edition. Cool. Haha.
Ey, where’s the DOCK? LOL!
Rollchan, You never heard of Metal Wolf Chaos for Xbox?

Her feet are obviously not bound! Bound feet are much smaller than those. Those are what we call fashionable shoes, Mr Otaku. 300 year old fashion obviously.
@Extrange
So you must be a Linux fan, still in the 24th century i doubt humanity would have gotten over laziness; the biggest reason why Linux is not the OS of choice for the mass market.
Mac OSX maybe but the window commands are still on the right…
Richard!!!!!!
@rollchan
Indeed there are a bit too many unknowns, in fact I wonder if they will have solved world hunger yet…
@tj han
No those must be bound feet since only an idiot would wear heels on safari. In fact if she does not wish to walk why where heels? The only reason I can think of that women wear the damn things is to give them bionik bounce in their tuckus.
Isn’t that iTunes symbol on the OS?
And bound feet are not supposed to be longer than 6 inches.
Crusader, if Apple stole the windows based Os from Mosaic (which was consequently stolen by Microsoft.), why they can’t steal the windows enviroment? Besides, programs like Windows Blinds and such can emulate several skins; they could be using a Windows skin because they are retro
Anyway, I’m not really a Linux user, I use Windows but mostly because I can get free legal copies since I work with Microsoft Service Providers.
@Extrange: HOLY COW! its President Bush! errr…Wilson I mean. Hehehehe! My dream came true! The US Prez is now a fighting executive! Hell yeah! Thanks for that insight! Haha! =D
I wonder what happened to the Secret Service…hmmmm…imagine the US President, welcoming you to the White House with his Mech. Haha! So COOL! hehe! =P
Wang Liu Ming is such a beaut! =D
btw, when I clicked on the poland link, my intelligence level dropped by 10%. Yes, it’s that bad. Very bad stuff you have there, crusader. Do not engage biological warfare on the readers. I swear that I will curse you using the power of our lord, gundam jesus.
AMEN.
XD
i don’t know if your just mocking or not but Setsuna is not jap
You know i think this style of blogging should be used on Turn A… should be more of a laugh.. while this is just a negative blob
I laughed at several points during my reading of this post, good stuff. As someone with a degree in political science and history, the way Gundam portrays the world in 300 years is just plain ridiculous. However, I wasn’t expecting anything resembling well thought out projections on the world’s geopolitical future, I was expecting mechas fighting each other and angsty pilots. Looks like we will get plenty of the latter categories and none of the former.
Gundam doesn’t need to be precise on history, politics, economics and the like. Because in the end it’s only two parties fighting each other. I wish they wouldn’t talk so much, it’s tiring…
@Anon
iTunes is not definitive proof of the existence of Mecha Steve Jobs’ victory over Mecha Gates. However if I see many more iMacs than generic PCs then Mac OSX’s ascendancy is all but assured.
As for foot binding, perhaps Ms. Wang has big feet…
@Extrange
We will not know until we determine the PC to iMac ration in the 24th century. As stealing things all things do come full circle eventually…
Yeah I am not a fan of Linux because I am a lazy person.
@Impz
It’s not biological warfare, its psychological warfare.
@Tenryu
I am not sure what Setsuna is but he is definitely no a Kurd. Since he has a Japanese name with emo personality, and made a banzai charge I could not help but to pigeon hole him. As for mockability this one is just as good, never did get to see Turn A…
@Calawain
you know they never even explained how NATO became defunct or how the Russians lost everything west of the Urals. That would make for an interesting piece, yet we get this. As for Gundam Jesus and his disciples roaming the earth and pwning everything while being emo and angsty, I have a feeling we will get what what we came for.
@David
Yes, they all need a big cup of shut the fuck up. I doubt that there are many who are interested in the Sunrise’s take on world affairs. Less talking and more fighting please, this is supposed to be a war to end all wars so it has to be the mother of all wars.
i feel so sad…linux is being dumped here… Win and Mac are always on the lead… =/
Use Linspire/Freespire.
LOL! XD~
hey what video player u use????and its h264 not xvid right?
use VLC media player. plays all vid formats and music as well. yep, gundam 00 is offered in h264 (HD) baashion.
i haven’t actually sat down to watch due to many anime series this fall xD
but i’m watching it tonight. hope that it will be a good show!
it is.
Nyoro~n’s translation is pretty much garbage – see here:
http://www.darkmirage.com/2007/10/22/gundam-00-nyoron-translation-errors/
You’re much better off getting Conclave & Mendoi’s or even Anon’s – both are MUCH better than Nyoro~n’s subs, which have completely opposite meanings half the time.
If gundam jesus can turn water into wine, I’m all for accepting him as my savior.
Between Gundam Jesus and Nazi gold and Wolfenstein, I lol’d.
