Wait... weren't there 12 clones of Elpeo Ple? [starts counting Gun Bits again] Oh I really don't like where this is going.

I KNEW I HAD MADE THIS BEFORE:

Took me a second to find it though.

Oh, really now?

Look, he pulled her out of the coffin! (That is what the cockpits keep getting compared to!) So I'm sure everything's going to be fine now, right?

Ha! Hahahaha! Of course this is all he can think to do!

And she's reduced back to this. Clinging, terrified, helpless. She can fight and be used up and die in the cold comfort of a warrior's stoicism, or she can be this, a pathetic little girl relying on men who can't really protect her, and be killed.

It's what I saw with Four too, but it's so much more blatant here that now I know it's intentional! And Four at least had something resembling a real connection with Kamille, where with Rosammy he just keeps falling back on, "It's me, your big brother!" when he knows perfectly well that's not true and it's just a different mode of brainwashed dissociation. He's playing a role and it's doomed to fail.

#gundam #utena #after Zeta I really need to do a full meta about how Lalah and the cyber newtype girls ALL presage Anthy #but for now here's some notes and screencaps I'm sure will come in handy for that

Sending out a new kind of newtype before fully understanding the consequences...never change federation

#though in this case the cyber newtypes are like artificial newtypes so it's probably a lot worse that they're sending them out so early #Z-17 #〇

*sips red wine and gestures vaguely at everything* Gundam F91 being just okay was not on my bingo card this year

#making one final run at the 'aging millenial' bit before the year is over #I do appreciate them switching it up and making the cyber newtype a super divorced dude instead of Female Hysteria The Character #the art was sick too and the first like 15 minutes of plot was excellent

I love you Four Murasame, I love you Elpeo Ple, Ple-Two, and Ple-Twelve, Marida Cruz, my most dearly beloved. I love you Rita Bernal and Elan Ceres E.P no. 4. I love you Soma Peries/Marie Parfacy and Allelujah/Hallelujah Haptism. I love all you poor souls, forced to become into living weapons but being some of the most human characters in their series.

#gundam #this character is a tragic cyber-newtype or series analogue?#i love them i know they're doomed but they deserve so much more #fucking love gundam...fucking love thinking about these characters and sobbing grossly #it's okay at least Marie and Allelujah had a happier ending than the rest of their series archetype #also is it a coincidence that Marida is the second Ple clone we meet #so she's the 3rd Ple we see and she's Ple Twelve #twelve divided by three is four #so the math gives her the ''oh boy you're going to die" number #funny how that works :cries:

Holding her memories as a bargaining chip like this is wild

Some generic thoughts I’ve recently had about AC6 lore lately after seeing other people’s commentary:

I think it’s notable that 621 is a 4th gen enhanced human on a meta level - while human augmentation is a constant across AC and very common in mecha fiction as a whole, arguably the most famous and one of the most memorable examples is that of Four Murasume, the cyber newtype from Zeta Gundam. In fact “cyber newtype” is a bit of a translation liberty, in Japanese it’s “kyouka ningen” ie. Enhanced human, the exact same term AC6 uses. I think this is notable because Four lost her memories and identity as part of the process, and thus her number and the facility where it was performed became her identity. In my head canon 621 is the same, and as such when Walter refers to them by number it’s not meant to be a slight - he probably has nothing better to call you.

On a related note, emotional instability is noted as one of the side affects of gen 4 augmentation, which may be another call-out to Four’s character, as drastic changes in personality and emotional outbursts were the result of her piloting the Psyco Gundam. It’s also notable that Iguazu is also gen 4 and I think this accounts for why Iguazu is the way he is and probably also why Michigan puts up with his shit to the extent that he does. If I’m thinking along the right lines it probably recontextualises his obsession with you as less pathetic and more tragic - it might be less that he’s just a salty little bitch and more that he has a serious mental illness due to the augmentation. It would also put him in line with the characters of Ypsilon and Rada Niva from Votoms, two other enhanced characters that were similarly insecure and/or obsessed.

If you manage to lose to Invincible Rummy in the grid 86 mission, he immediately starts begging for Carla to reward him with coral. This makes it seem like she’s exploiting Rummy’s and probably the rest of the Dosers working for her through their addiction, highly predatory and immoral behaviour if I’m reading it right.

Open Faith, V2 Snail’s AC, uses predominantly needle-like weapons, some of which use electrical discharge which is kind of like AC6’s version of poison. The cone snail is a marine snail that poisons prey by shooting a poison barb into its prey before devouring it. The laser lance he uses is even shaped a bit like a cone snail shell.

V1 Freud is the most notable user of the laser drone back weapon, that’s an obvious fallout to funnels and other remote controlled “bit” weaponry, which is one of the signatures of the Gundam series. This is usually used to denote characters or technology that goes above and beyond the norm, such as powerful newtypes, or technology that emulates their capabilities. AC6 subverts this in that Freud, as far as I know, is one of the only AC pilots in the game, and certainly the only one amongst the Vespers to have no augments at all, which means that he’s operating his bits on nothing but raw talent - the game even draws attention to this through Carla’s dialogue. With this combined with the fact that he’s rated as the number 1 AC pilot on Rubicon really draws attention to what a monster the guy must be (even if his actual fight doesn’t quite live up to his reputation.)

After giving it some thought, I’m pretty sure that ‘Elan-4′ might actually have the most tragic and depressing fate we’ve ever seen a cyber-newtype/super-solider suffer in Gundam.

First, there’s the death itself: Usually people like Elan are at least given the dignity of being sent off to die in battle. Usually dying in the arms of the person they’ve grown to befriend, love and care for such as with people like Four, Stella and Meer. Or able to make some big heroic sacrifice to help those they care for as with Elpeo Ple and Marida Cruz. They at least get to die knowing that their memory will live on in the people they’ve grown to care for.

But Elan isn’t even allowed that. Rather than something as dramatic as being sent off to die in battle or make some suicide run, Elan’s superiors simply pull him aside and have him quietly executed.

Kamille at least got to be with Four in her final moments. Suletta on the other hand doesn’t even KNOW that Elan-4 is dead. And thanks to his superiors, it’s unlikely she ever WILL know.

Because that brings us to the other piece of this depressing puzzle:

The inevitable ‘Elan-5′

Because these sorts of ‘replacements’ are generally clones of some variety, or have implanted memories or some psychic imprint from the predecessor we and the other characters knew. Which always leaves at least the possibility that while they might be dead, their memory and ‘essence’ could at least live on in some form within this new person. They could be just as capable of all the good their predecessor was.

But that’s just not the case with Elan.

Elan-4 wasn’t a clone. He was just a person made to look and act like Elan Ceres. And his successor will be someone entirely different who is also made to look and act like Elan Ceres. Any kind of ‘implanted memories’ will almost certainly be drawn from Elan Ceres, not Elan-4. There simply is no ‘link’ between Elan-4 and Elan-5.

This means that everything that made Elan-4 special, the things that made him stick out and made him special to us and to Suletta, all died with him. Piel Technologies made sure that ‘Enhanced Person Number 4′ is well and truly gone, with effectively no trace whatsoever.

And it’s unclear if Suletta and the rest of the people who may have known ‘Elan-4′ will ever even know the truth.
