  Gundam 00 site update
  -Celestial Being-
  MS:
  GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh
  Head height: 18.1 m
  Base weight: 54.0 t
  Pilot: Tieria Erde
  Armament: GN cannon, GN beam saber, GN beam rifle, GN sword
  "One of Celestial Being's Gundams. A unit concealed inside the GN-005 Gundam Virtue, its existence is unique among the Gundams. The unit's greatest feature is the Trial System. This function can control all the machines linked with Veda. It's one of the guard systems protecting against the collapse of the plans made by the organization's founder, Aeolia Schenberg, who hid other similar such systems within his many plans. The Trial System's primary targets are Gundams and it creates an overwhelming dominance against them in battle. However, its effect range is restricted to a small area. During planning, it seems there was equipment to expand the Trial System but it's unknown if it was actually manufactured. The long, red cords on the head are used to supply GN particles to entirety of the Virtue's armor."
  
  -UN Forces-
  MS:
  GNMA-XCVII Alvatore
  Overall length: 56.1 m
  Overall width: 37.9 m
  Overall height: 42.6 m
  "An enormous weapon used in the UN Forces' final battle against Celestial Being. It's equipped with 7 pseudo-solar furnaces. With a gigantic beam cannon capable of firing extremely long distances, a strong GN Field, as well as other weaponry, it boasts the overwhelming power of past solar furnace-equipped units. Its armament also includes large, melee combat-use arms and midrange combat-use Fangs."
  
  GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron
  Head height: 17.6 m
  Base weight: 69.2 t
  Pilot: Alejandro Corner
  "A pseudo-solar furnace equipped mobile suit stored inside the Alvatore. In reality, the Alvatore is only an enhancement for this unit, its true form. The wing portions can function as large beam cannons that make extremely long distance attacks. The pilot is one of Celestial Being's observers, Alejandro Corner, who betrayed his organization and gave pseudo-solar furnaces to the UN."

  生日：12/9
  Birthday: Dec. 9th
  
  眼镜的作用：对ティエリア�说眼�在与Veda链接的时候�光是很��的。戴
  眼镜是为了�护眼�。
  Function of the glasses. For Tieria the glow of his eyes are very important when linking with Veda. Wearing glasses is for protecting his eyes. (I take this to mean he doesn’t need them, but wears them solely for that reason)
  
  体�设定由59�更为61kg。
  Weight changed from 59 to 61kg (I think this is referring to Tieria’s weight but it seems like a random fact to throw in, particularly since it’s not mentioned for anyone else)
  
  ��智�and寺岡贤一的访谈：
  Interview with Kenji Teraoka and Tomohiro Chiba (the two are the sci-fi consultants for the series)
  
  ·CB在200å¹´å‰�创立的时候，许多人在å�„ç§�领域开始了活动。
  When CB was established 200 years ago many people working in diverse fields began the operation.
  
  ·ã‚¤ã‚ªãƒªã‚¢å¹¶æ²¡é¢„料到Mobile Suit会å�˜æˆ�人型兵器。
  Aeolia did not expect mobile suits to become humanoid weapons.
  
  ·OGundam是太阳光å�‘电战争将开始的时候开始开å�‘的，就是15～20å¹´å‰�。
  The O Gundam was developed during the start of the solar energy war, which is 15-20 years ago.
  
  ·6å¹´å‰�的库尔å�‰æ–¯çº·äº‰ä»‹å…¥æ˜¯O Gundam的测试。
  The Kurgis conflict intervention 6 years ago was a test run for the O Gundam.
  
  ·ä»Žç¬¬äºŒä¸–代Gundam的泛用试验的任务中，决定了格斗·å°„击·å�˜å½¢·å¯¹è¦�塞用的
  4架第三代。
  Based on the second generation Gundam trials it was decided that the four third generation suits will be melee, shooting, transforming, and take-down types. (The “对è¦�å¡ž” is kind of hard to translate, and means “targeting the critical center” which I simplified to “take-down”)
  
  ·ãƒ†ã‚£ã‚¨ãƒªã‚¢æ€Žæ ·çœ‹ä¹Ÿä¸�是普通人。
  Tieria is not an ordinary person no matter how you look at it.
  
  ·ãƒªãƒœãƒ³ã‚ºå’Œãƒ†ã‚£ã‚¨ãƒªã‚¢é‚£æ ·çš„特别的存在也是イオリア的计划的一部分。
  The unique existence of Ribbonz and Tieria was also a part of Aeolia’s plan.
  
  ·ãƒªãƒœãƒ³ã‚ºæ‰“算利用Vedaå�´è¢«å��过æ�¥åˆ©ç”¨äº†ã€‚
  Ribbonz originally planed to use Veda but instead was used. (The sentence could be interpreted that he was used by Veda, but it’s also possible whoever turned the tables and used him is not named.)
  
  ·Veda是天天进化，æ��示出引导世界形势计划的存在。
  Veda evolves each and everyday, its existence is to produce plans to guide the world.
  
  ·æœˆç�ƒçš„Veda是本体，但并ä¸�认为å�ªæœ‰é‚£ä¸ªã€‚
  Veda’s core is on the moon but there isn’t necessarily only one. (The sentence is written as if someone is telling us Veda’s core is on the moon but he/she doesn’t think there’s only one such core.)
  
  ·Vedaæ ¹æ�®æ—¶ä»£çš„科学技术å�˜åŒ–外形。
  Veda’s outer appearance changes according to the technology of the times.
  
  ·Veda的自我进化系统，为了防止改å�˜ã‚¤ã‚ªãƒªã‚¢çš„æ€�想而被慎é‡�推进。
  To prevent the alterations of Aeolia’s ideals, Veda’s self-evolving programming was carefully installed. (Not sure if “installed “is the right word as “推进” means “to push in”.)
  
  ·Veda没有自我。因为它统括整个地ç�ƒçš„ä¿¡æ�¯ã€‚
  Veda has no sense of self/conscious because it has access to all of the information on earth. (Not really sure if that’s a good translation as I’m not 100% sure what “统括” means.)
  
  ·ã‚³ãƒ¼ãƒŠãƒ¼å®¶çš„å�›å�˜ä¸Žã‚¤ã‚ªãƒªã‚¢è®¡åˆ’大体上å�Œæ—¶ä»Žçº¦200å¹´å‰�开始了。
  The revolt of the Corner family from Aeolia’s plan began roughly 200 years ago.
  
  ·ã‚¢ãƒ¬ãƒ�ンドロ的å�›å�˜ä¹Ÿåœ¨Veda预料之中。å�³ä½¿å�›å�˜ï¼Œå¦‚果会迂回到达目标的è¯�
  ，Veda也会承认��。
  Alejandro’s rebellion was also included in Veda’s predictions. Even if he rebels, if the ultimate goal can be reattained Veda will approve of the rebellion. (Again, the second half of this sentence is a bit iffy to translate.)
  
  ·ã‚³ãƒ¼ãƒŠãƒ¼å®¶æ˜¯ä¸–世代代å�›å¾’的一æ—�。
  Each generation in the Corner family are rebels.
  
  ·é‡�产Throneçš„è¯�å°±æˆ�了GN-X。
  If the Throne are mass produced they become GN-Xs.
  
  紫色HARO和Lockon的Haro是自イオリア活�的时代延续下�的少数原型。�确认
  到这2个。
  The purple Haro and Lockon’s Haro are the few originals that survived from the time of Aeolia. The two are the only ones confirmed so far (i.e. from originated from Aeolia’s time.)
  
  ·Haro里é�¢æœ‰ç�€ä»¥å‰�起到é‡�è¦�作用的东西。
  Haro contains past critical important.
  导演一言
  A word from the director:
  ·å°½ç®¡ã‚¤ã‚ªãƒªã‚¢æ˜¯ç�†æƒ³ä¸»ä¹‰è€…，但结å�ˆçŽ°å®žè¿˜æ˜¯ä¸�能完全相信人类。认为如果
  计划被歪曲，那就ä¸�是外部而是自内部被歪曲。为此除了将GN Drive托付给Meister之外，如果Meister是在イオリア的预料中所认为的“æ�¶”çš„è¯�
  就会�动�外的程�。为此考虑了所有�能性而进行了准 备。
  Even though Aeolia is an idealist, but in reality he still could not completely trust in humanity. He believed if the plan is altered then it would be due to internal and not external influences. Besides intrusting the GN Drive to the meister, if the meisters are “evil” according to Aeolia’s ideals then another set of program will be initiated. Because of that preparations were made for all possible situations.
  
  
  CB&世界的解说
  Backgrounds about CB and the world
  
  ·èƒ½æº�å�±æœºæ˜¯ä»¤ä¸–界产生三大阵è�¥çš„主è¦�原因，这样的状况也是CB的情报æ“�作
  。这个事实除了监视者等少部分的人之外无人知晓。
  The energy crisis is the main reason that caused the creation of the three power blocs. This was manipulated by CB’s information manipulation (i.e. the creation of the three blocs part of CB’s doing). Only a few such as the Observes know about this fact.
  
  ·å¯¼è‡´ä¸–界性的核排除动å�‘的是中东的放射能泄æ¼�事故。
  What led to the world de-nuclearization movement was due to the nuclear spill incident in the Middle East. (A possible explanation for why we don’t see nuclear energy as an alternative fuel source。)
  
  ·Veda的计划中无论如何都è¦�é�¿å…�由于核的å�‘展而导致人类ç�­äº¡ã€‚由于核战争直
  接�系到人类�亡，无论如何也�让目光转�太阳光�电。
  Within Veda’s plans the development of nuclear power is to be avoided at all cost to prevent the annihilation of humanity. Because nuclear war is directly connected to humanity’s annihilation, no matter what the focus has to be turned to solar power energy.
  
  ·å› ä¸ºèƒ½æº�ä¸�足的时代相当长，世界的科学技术已诞生但没惊人å�‘展的轨é�“电
  梯和Mobile Suit关�技术得到飞跃性的进化。这也是CB为促进太阳光�电而活动的结果。
  Because the period without energy lasted a long time, the world’s scientific technology was born but the unpublicized solar elevator and mobile suit related advancements developed at an amazing pace. (This sentence was really weird to translate and I’m not sure I understood it correctly >>) This is a result of CB’s activities to promote solar electricity.
  
  ·å¼•èµ·èƒ½æº�å�±æœºå°†ä¸–界化为三大阵è�¥ï¼ŒGundam介入促进世界统一，这就是Veda的计
  划。但是这样就结�了�？知�一切的就�有イオリア。
  Veda’s plan is to incite a world energy crisis to give rise to three power blocs and have the Gundams intervene to unit the world. But will it simply end this way? The only one who knows is Aeolia.
  
  用语集
  Technical explanations (the actual Chinese says something like “word usage chapter” which doesn’t quite make sense so I called it technical clarifications as this seems to be what the section is about ^^;
  
  ・审判系统是�有ティエリア和ナドレ�以使用。
  根�ティエリア的判断�让其他Gundam的系统当机。
  The trial system can only be used by Tieria and Nadleeh.
  Based on Tieria’s judgment he can crash the system of other Gundams. (So Tieria’s responsible for the blue screen of death? )
  
  ・断层摄影
  第10集对Kyrios进行断层摄影�失败的原因估计是GN粒�。
  " 断层摄影" literally translates to "breaking-layer-image-capture", so I think they were referring to the HRL's attempt to scan the captured Kyrios in ep 10, which failed. I think it's like... "x-ray", or whatever they want to call it. Infrared scan. TEM photography. Technobabble ahoy!
  
  角色设定
  Character design
  
  リボンズ年龄ã€�性別一切ä¸�明。“拥有很åƒ�ティエリア的能力”
  Ribbonz’s age and gender are unknown. Possess similar abilities to Tieria.
  
  紫色HARO的记忆被消去了。
  The memory of the purple Haro had been erased. (no wander it doesn’t recognize the orange Haro)
  
  エイフマン教授：73�，生日：6/29，身高：168cm。
  Professor Eifman: 73 years old, birthday: June 29th, height: 168cm

  There was an impression that a fight between two polarizing powers is overused. Since Gundam Seed before this was also like this, it was thought that 00 should challenge this and offer more diversity in which it handles war, such as through terrorism and disputes

  How well the balance between battles and drama in the first season functioned was reflected upon . The second season will reflect this assessment.

  The direction of the battle scenes is different in the beginning and the middle of the series.
  
  ・第一期�350カット以内�制作����。
  第二期�370カット�制作����れ�頼ん��る。
  The first season was produced using less than 350 cuts. Due to necessity, I have asked for more than 370 cuts for the second season. (budget is going up for the second season)
  
  ・ 「00���人間�完璧�も����������を���ゆ���。
  I want to show that mankind is not perfect.
  
  ・ 沙慈�ルイス�第二期����役�����る。
  Saji and Louise will serve an important part in the second season.

  Official Site Updates:
  
  The main site's MS profiles were also updated:
  
  -Celestial Being-
  MS:
  GNR-001D GN Arms Type-D
  Overall length: 47.4 m
  Overall width: 36.2 m
  Overall height: 15.3 m
  Armament: Long-range beam cannon, super large GN missle pod
  "A GN Armor combination of a GN Arms and the Dynames, called the Type D to distinguish it from the Exia-use version. Able to be used even without a pilot in the GN Arms thanks to the support of Haro, it can't be controlled independently after separating. Has specialized equipment for artillery combat, including a long-range beam cannon and super large GN missle pod."
  
  -Union-
  MS:
  SVMS-01O Over Flag
  Head height: 17.9 m
  Base weight: 69.7 t
  "The custom unit of the Over Flags, the anti-Gundam investigation team officially established within the Union forces as a parent organization. The end of the model number carries the designation 'O (Over)'. Similar to Graham's custom SVMS-01E Custom Flag, it's equipped with a high-output flight unit and includes a number of enhancements compared to the normal Flag. But it doesn't use hazard factors like an anti-G limiter release."
  
  SVMS-01X Union Flag Custom II (nickname "GN Flag")
  Head height: 17.9 m
  Base weight: 74.2 t
  "A Flag equipped with a pseudo-solar furnace. Created by Billy to meet Graham's expectations. Disregarding the original design, it largely lacks unit balance in order to force the installation of a pseudo-solar furnace. To use its main armament, a beam saber, it's necessary to move the solar furnace from the back to the arm. The subthrusters on the legs have the functionality of defense rods."
  
  -AEU-
  MS:
  AEU-09Y812/A Saachez Custom AEU Enact Custom Agrissa Type
  Head height: 17.6 m
  Base weight: 66.2 t
  "A tuned-up, improved prototype of the Enact for the PMC's Saachez. The blade rifle comes out from the tip of the large sonic blade. Increasing the amount of fixed armaments, the sonic blade is built into the arm. The unit's appearance comes from a special coating for dealing with plasma."
  
  Agrissa
  "A large weapon deployed during the 5th Solar Conflict. Used in combination with a mobile suit. It employs a powerful plasma field. The unit's appearance comes from a special coating for dealing with plasma."
  
  AEU-05G AEU Hellion (PMC color)
  Head height: 15.4 m
  Base weight: 67.0 t
  "AEU Hellion ground-type. Armor reinforced and without flight capabilities. The ones used by the PMC aren't especially different from the AEU version."
  
  AEU-05 AEU Hellion Capture Type
  Head height: 15.4 m
  Base weight: 58.2 t
  "Hellion with special equipment to capture Gundams. Its linear shield captures targets through strong control of its own magnetic properties. Common materials can't break free as long as the power supply lasts. Naturally, a Gundam is no exception."
