it's one of the "must see" episodes. If you haven't seen it, you could get lost in the story.

Sanc Kingdom -- The Peacecrafts' hometown.

Quatre is such a nice guy.

"I guess quiet people attract quiet friends." --> TRUE.

The soldiers are really loyal to Zechs, eh?

Zechs is a great character I think, similar to Char in many aspects.
The Talgeese is a beast~

Zechs' father sure has a long beard. I can see now that he was a great sovereign.

Dang the Tallgeese sure puts a lot of pressure on the body. Otto went out like a boss taking out enemy HQ.

Zechs looks sexy without his helmet on I already knew what he looked like since I played Dynasty Warrior Gundam. ^_^

OK so confused! so treize is the leader of oz and the specials and also is a member of the alliance? is that right? and if oz and the gundams are both fighting the alliance, then why doesnt oz support the gundams?

So, Zechs wants to restore his monarchy with Relena in command, Treze wants to begin a dictatorship in the name of OZ, and the Alliance that remained and the Gundam pilots have similar objetives, giving liberty to all of the countries as they please.

wow amazing episode!!

looks like the battle here is much more faster with tallgeese oozing and destroying everything with is. such a beast!!

tbh i was hoping Gundams here would be just as fast like in Gundam 00. now that's super fast non-stop action!!

of course we're still in the early episodes, so i can't wait to see more of this fast paced action!!

damn Heero Yuy with that dunk!!! even Duo is impressed! and wow Relena how the hell did you find Heero just like that O__O

guess if you have the money it is possible!!

Treize seems to be relaxing here, same with Quatre!

looks like Tallgeese is too much for Zechs for this time. i wonder why he hesitated at first? i guess with Otto showing you need to faced death at all times like those Gundam pilots, Zechs will truly be able to master this ^^

Wufei and Trowa seems to be down :( at least Catherine is trying to cheer them up! funny how she mentions Quiet people attracts Quiet people. soo true!!

and that outfit! are all circus ladies dress sexy as that X__X

looks like Sanc kingdom got destroyed by Tallgeese like that. though i don't understand just because Tallgeese destroyed the main base suddenly there's no longer any mobile suits fighting still? at least show us they got destroyed by the OZ troops.

finally we Zech's true face :) real name "Milliardo Peacecraft" who is related to Relena Peacecraft(possible sister?)

the show is definitely getting interesting!!! i'm glad i finally learning what the purpose of Gundam are in this series and what OZ's intentions are.

Relena is getting cuter in each episode!! which is funny since in most of her pictures she look like a Tsundere XD

in any case i can't wait for the next episode!!

The gundams are looking for a place to die. Well this just got depressing D: I guess that could sort of explain Heero, Trowa, and Wufei's behavior. All of them are quiet and aren't afraid of death, although I doubt Duo and Quatre are afraid either, but at least they're more upbeat.

Nice getting to know Zechs a little more after this episode.

Good question.

Okay, so let's recap to make things clear. OZ is strictly one Military Division operating under the Alliance. If we go back a little, we remember that it was the Romefeller Foundation that supported the upbringing of the United Earth Sphere Alliance, and it was eventually the Romefeller Foundation that pushed for military action against the Colonies, due to the Colonies wanting independence from the Earth. So, in truth, OZ is actually ruled by the Romefeller Foundation (the leader is Treize's uncle).

The Specials are an Elite Unit of Mobile Suits commissioned under OZ, and lead by Treize. Treize is also a member of the Pro-War Faction in the Alliance (why do they even have that kind of faction?). Anways, Treize wouldn't need the Gundam's help directly, but after leaking information about the Alliance's top officials meeting, Treize got rid of everyone who was against war by using the Gundams. And then, Treize staged a coup using The Specials to destroy all Alliance Militia and take over the world.

Remember however, the Gundams' main objective is the annihilation of OZ corporation. Why? Because although the Colonies were positive that Treize would lead them to their independence, there were some among them that didn't trust OZ. So while the Alliance is confused in a civil struggle of power, the Gundams are still only after Treize's head. OZ basically has control over most of the Alliance earth military at this point anyway, which means that the Alliance will be replaced by the true leaders: The Romefeller Foundation.

So to answer your first couple questions, Treize only has command of The Specials and not OZ. But based on current events, we can assume now that Treize is in the driver's seat over at OZ corp.

Your second question was also answered. The Gundams are not on Earth to destroy the Alliance, because that would just get rid of the Earth's politicians. The Gundams are there to annihilate OZ, which is technically still the Alliance, but only their military division.

Zechs seems to have a strong relationship with his men, he was actually honoured by the man giving his life to help him liberate his home kingdom and seemed pained by the loss. I'd be pissed he just kamikaze'd the brand new mobile suit though, although I figure they will repair it or something. Seems Treize and Zechs both have some pride to them, think I'm rooting for the villains more right now lol.

I don't really understand Relena's obsession - or whatever it is with Heero. The dude barely talks to or acknowledges her, threatening in the beginning at least, that he would kill her. And yet... she is unperturbed completely to the point where she finds out where he is by however means even with the knowledge that he is the pilot of a gundam which is a great threat to OZ. I guess the one main thing I find not satisfying is little of what the watcher knows behind certain characters' motives and backstories at this moment. We are given reasons and subtle hints here and there, that is true. It must be too early into the series of me to say. I just feel detached as if the emotions of the characters are omitted.

Holy $hit though, Zechs is one good looking man.

I think they had a little too much fun in the Tallgeese. Otto totally took Zechs' words out of context.

Heero still holding a grudge against Relena. No idea why.

OZ's goals and the connection between Zechs and Relena are finally revealed.

Otto was the man, sacrificing himself for his superior like that. Also Zechs seems like he could turn out to be an excellent Char clone.

I don't remember Relena being this irritating, but I know she does more later on. I just hate the way she pines after Heero after her adoptive father just died. Her explanation didn't really cut it for me.

^ This

She does nothing right not but moon after a boy who says he wants to kill her. She says she wants to get stronger but no evidence of that yet.

Characters are still completely flat except for those from OZ. Therefore I find it hard to have any kind of inner debate as to who I want to "win", its OZ hands down right now, the only ones who look like have actual three dimensional characters with actual motivations other than just showing up and blowing things up. Damn but the Gundam pilots are all boring, all five of them.

I don't quite understand myself. I keep asking why does Relena care soooo much about Heero? None of her actions makes sense but for some reason I still like her ha. Something about Relena being a bad ass and keep seeking a guy she likes even though he wants to kill her. I hope I continue to like this couple and not find myself getting super frustrated.

Ha anyone else feel the same way I do lol?

I'm re watching this series, and at this point it still doesn't make any sense to me. The good guys, bad guys, the organizations, it takes a really long time for them to do anything in the show. At this point they give Zechs something to be awesome with. Giving modern and futuristic battle suits allegory to old style combat and traditions is so great.
