4Like other ''Gundam'' series, ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00'' is a story about war and terrorism. Both major and minor characters suffer through loss, trauma, and even die themselves over the course of the series, leading to many heartrending moments.

9* The events that kick-started the entire plot. On one hand, we see great countries continue to thrive marvelously even after fossil fuels became scarce, but then there are utter hellholes like Krugis, Setsuna's birthplace, that fell and became assimilated into Azadistan.
10** Setsuna (who used to be known as '''Soran Ebrahim''') was already being trained to be a killer at an extremely young age. He used to be a ChildSoldier trained by Ali Al-Saachez in KPSA. He was also being brainwashed to kill his own parents as part of their ''graduation'' to become a "warrior" who will "fight for name of God". In truth, Ali also didn't believe in God and was only using them as tools for war. The resulting trauma led Setsuna to lose his belief in a God, and left him unable to accept himself.
11* Neil and Lyle Dylandy both came from a happy family. However, due to Neil being depicted as the more gifted one, Lyle suffered an inferiority complex and disliked being compared to his older brother. To overcome this, Lyle decided to run away. Since the brothers became estranged, Lyle was left unaware of Niel’s involvement with Celestial Being, nor of his older brother's tragic death.
12** Imagine being in Lyle Dylandy's place. Lyle watched his whole family taken away by world's conflict, and later ended up hired by an organization that, in a sense, killed his only brother as well. Feldt's advances on him seems less like a typical relationship problem and more of an insult on a personal level.
13** Then you have Neil. Imagine witnessing your entire family killed by terrorists when you just wanted to spend time together at the mall. Even after experiencing such loss, Neil continued to work hard and sent money to his younger brother, Lyle, for his education and future.
14* Allelujah Haptism used to be a normal, ordinary boy until he was kidnapped by the HRL scientists to become a test subject of their Super Soldier program, which led to him being brainwashed. He was then only known by his code number as ‘’E-0057’’, but was later given a name by Marie Parfacy, as 'Allelujah' as a blessing for life to God. Unfortunately, Allelujah was deemed an experimental failure and was to be disposed of. So, he and the other failed test subjects decided to escape and he was forced to leave Marie behind due to her requiring special medical care. Though they managed to escape by stealing a space shuttle, their shuttle ran low on all possible resources to keep them all alive after drifting aimlessly for days. As a result, Hallelujah emerged and began killing all of his ‘’brothers’’, leaving him the only survivor. Allelujah was left deeply traumatized by the incident.
15** In the prequel novel, it was revealed that Allelujah lived alone and continued to hide from the HRL soldiers, before being recruited by Celestial Being due to him being a SuperSoldier.
16* Even Tieria Erde also has this too. Sure, he was a jerk throughout Season 1 due to his superiority complex but he never expected that he was from a race who are against Celestial Being. The prequel novel mentioned that Tieria was born around 2302 AD and was intended to become one of the next Meisters. It’s also Veda's intention to not put his Innovade memory in order to not destroy the harmony between the members of Celestial Being. After Regene Regetta told him of their origin, Tieria suffered a massive identity crisis to stay loyal with Celestial Being or pull a FaceHeelTurn to side with his race. Luckily, his friendship and compassion towards humans drove him to remain loyal to Celestial Being.
17** As part of the living data of Veda, Tieria has no age limit. Which means he is immortal as long as Veda is saved. Setsuna also became a HalfHumanHybrid of Innovator-ELS, meaning he is likely immortal as well. This means they will ultimately outlive their friends.
18* Pictured on the right: Although Louise was [[TheScrappy a very unpopular character]], she becomes sympathetic after she loses her entire family, including even her extended relatives, in a senseless attack by one of the Gundam Thrones. When Saji visits her in the hospital afterwards, he reveals he saved up enough money to buy her a pair of rings she had begged him for. While Louise appreciates the gift, she ends up telling Saji she cannot wear them, and tearfully reveals that one of her hands was amputated in the attack. After the timeskip she joins the A-Laws, becoming one of its soldiers for the sake of revenge against Celestial Being in season 2. She even became Ribbons' personal puppet for money to fund the A-Laws’ and Innovator’s technological development. Ribbons ''paid’’ Louise back by giving her special medication formulated by the Innovators, which turned her into a "pseudo-Innovator". Louise and Saji also learn that they are fighting on opposite sides, further complicating her situation.
19** With this, you can see why she's not so different from Neil and Lyle. While Lyle was able to move on from tragedy, Neil and Louise were trapped by their past and wanted revenge. Louise was, luckily, able to be saved, Neil, however... died.
20** Saji, another less popular character, also gains some sympathy after Louise cuts ties with him and his sister, Kinue, is cruelly murdered.
21* Azadistan's princess Marina Ismail has to struggle with being ActualPacifist in a world where action speaks louder than words. She expresses confusion and distress over the conducts of Celestial Being, and all her efforts to achieve true peace end up literally burned to the ground in season 2.
22* It is sad to see Feldt has no knowledge of how her parents died, as Celestial Being has a confidentiality agreement. In the prequel novel ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00P'' , her parents were the 2nd generation of Gundam Meisters and their code names were '''Ruido Resonance''' and '''Marlene Vlady'''. They were killed in ''Plutone Accident'' when Feldt was still a baby.
23* The Trinity siblings and The Innovators are enemies of Celestial Being who have caused havoc and destruction in the world. However, despite being Innovade and half-Innovade, they are shown to be caring of one another. Once they see their comrades (or "siblings" for the Innovades who share the same DNA pattern) killed, they will often seek revenge. Ribbons is an exception, since he is disgusted with any aspect of humanity and lacks empathy. To Ribbons, both the Trinity’s and Innovades are nothing more than expendable tools. Even Anew lampshade this and said that every Innovade and Trinities Sibling who working for Ribbons never have a chance to learn understanding each other.
24--> ''"If I'm not born as an Innovator, maybe I will never meet you just like this. Because we never have a chance to understand each other in this world."''
25** Anew Returner is token of TheWoobie of the Innovades. She was designed to be a sleeper agent to spy on Celestial Being’s activities. She was never intended to learn about trust, relationships or love. Her relationship with Innovade members is unknown, but Revive Revival, her "twin brother" supposedly doesn't like her for "being born as a woman" which, in his opinion, led her to be blinded by her "human woman" emotions. After all, although she know that she only created as Ribbons instrument, she gladly for being born as Innovade all because she know that she already being fated as that, she like to experience being in love with Lyle and learn about compassion toward the other crews.
26** Nena's fate throughout the series can be seen as disturbing, to say the least. She blew up the wedding because she was annoyed by seeing people happy while she was tired from "work". Eventually, she and her siblings learn that instead of being the people that can change the world, their actual "work" was to be “sacrificial lambs” as part of Ribbons's plan to accumulate hate against Celestial Being, allowing him to deploy the GN-Xs and the Innovades. Because the Trinitys had little support from the crew of the Ptolemy and used inferior machines, if one of them was killed, they wouldn't be able to fend for themselves as their tactics relied heavily on co-op skills. With some luck, they survived several contacts with the GN-Xs, so Ribbons had to dispose of them through both Ali and by taking advantage of Louise's mental instability and thirst for revenge. She's pretty much an ill-treated WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.
27*** As are her brothers for that matter. Especially sad is Johann's [[NotSoStoic reaction when he sees Micheal shot dead by Ali.]] And then the words he says just as he's about to die, and the utterly broken way he says them...
28*** Special mention goes to Nena, whose psychopathic tendencies result from her spending her first 10 years in stasis. Thus, despite being physically 17 years old, she possesses the mentality of a little girl. While it might not justify some of her actions, it would account for why she acts in such a fashion.

31[[folder:Season 1]]
32[[AC:Episode 5]]
33* Mixed with NightmareFuel due to the ''True Pillar Incident'' accidentally caused by Soma Peries. Kinue's expression after learning that Saji and Louise are part of the people who were evacuated from the pillars is a very heart breaking reminder that Saji is the only remaining family she has.
34[[AC:Episode 6]]
35* Because rescuing the trapped citizens during ''True Pillar Incident'' was not part of Veda’s tasks, Allelujah ends up locked in solitary confinement for a week as punishment. Considering his past trapped alone on a drifting spaceship, it seems particularly harsh.
36
37[[AC:Episode 8]]
38* Setsuna tells Marina that Azidastan (the country she rules) destroyed Krugis (his country). While undoubtedly harsh, it's also true and Marina is clearly guilt stricken when this is pointed out, even more so when she realizes Setsuna was one of the child soldiers from the conflict.
39
40[[AC:Episode 9]]
41* We see two Lockon Stratos at Lockon’s family’s gravesite. One of them looks down at the graves and wonders who left flowers there, while the “real” Lockon remains hidden in the trees, quietly looking on. It is the first time we learn that Lockon still has a surviving family member, and that their relationship is likely strained at best.
42* While it is a heartwarming scene to see Louise's mother, she did not simply come to visit her daughter. Her actual motive is to bring Louise home out of concern for her safety after a car bombing in Japan.
43* While it can count as heartwarming, Lockon's interaction with Feldt is also sad. It turns out that Feldt's parents were Gundam Meisters who died for "unknown" reasons. Since Celestial Being deemed the incident secret information, she was never told the reason for their deaths. Lockon offers comforting words to Feldt, calling her strong for following in her parent’s footsteps. In turn for sharing her story, Lockon tells her about his own tragic past and his real name, Neil Dylandy.
44* Christina panics after they are attacked by HRL forces. She pleads for Allelujah to hurry and save them.
45[[AC:Episode 10]]
46* After realizing his "failure" for revealing Nadleeh too soon, Tieria begins to cry. He is left angry with himself for possibly ruining Veda’s plans, as Gundam Nadleeh was intended to be a trump card. Considering what a callous stoic Tieria had been up to this point, seeing that he is indeed capable of displaying these kinds of emotions is rather sombering.
47* Allelujah is left horrified after being unable to stop Hallelujah from killing Adjudant Ming in a cruel, brutal manner. Since Hallelujah is his split personality, and thus a part of himself, Allelujah wonders if Hallelujah’s actions are a reflection of his true nature, and dissolves into tears.
48--> '''Allelujah:''' Why? Why is it, Hallelujah? Why do you wanna kill people so much? Is that my true nature? If so, that means that I'm...A COLD-BLOODED BEAST!
49** Christina cannot help but feel concerned. When she tries to hail Allelujah over the radio, she starts, and quickly insists nothing is wrong when asked. It turns out she accidentally overheard Allelujah crying.
50* Sumeragi leaves the bridge and cries, angrily berating herself for her mistake, which nearly cost them everything.
51[[AC:Episode 11]]
52* Allelujah being coerced by his SplitPersonality to destroy a SuperSoldier facility filled with children in episode 11. The kids would've lived miserable lives as HRL soldiers similar to him, but one can't help but feel sorry for the poor guy as he finally pulls the trigger and shoots, screaming in anguish the entire time. Afterwards, when he has returned to the Ptolemy, [[DrowningMySorrows he asks Sumeragi for a drink.]]
53** Allelujah’s grief is so strong that even as Hallelujah takes over and compliments Allelujah for pulling the trigger himself, ''Hallelujah'' is the one shown shedding tears.
54[[AC:Episode 18]]
55* The MoralEventHorizon scene of Nena Trinity, where she decided to destroy a wedding party out of petty jealousy. The wedding in question was for Louise’s cousin. This attack killed not only Louise’s parents, but also her entire extended family. The attack also left Louise maimed, costing the young girl her left hand. Due to the nature of the particle beam Nena’s Gundam used, regeneration therapy is unable to regrow her lost hand. Louise is left broken by the incident.
56[[AC:Episode 20]]
57* The scene starts with Saji at a station waiting for the next train to return home. He passes the time reading old e-mails from Louise. From then on, he no longer receives any messages from her. Louise’s last message told Saji to wait for her in space. This message ultimately becomes HarsherInHindsight in season 2.
58* Kinue's death at the hands of Ali, followed by poor Saji being called in to identify his sister's body. And as a result, the last person imaginable to be involved in Celestial Being's war still ended up getting roped into it.
59[[AC:Episode 21]]
60* After their Gundams are mysteriously disabled after losing connection to Veda, Tieria is left in confusion, wondering why Veda suddenly cut them off. Patrick takes the opportunity to attack Tieria. Lockon pilots his Gundam into his path to shield Tieria, and suffers a seemingly near fatal injury, leaving Tieria in shock and disbelief.
61[[AC:Episode 22]]
62* The scene starts with Lockon in medical bay. Dr. Moreno suggests that he must have two weeks in the medication pod to heal all his injuries, especially the one to his right eye. However, Lockon refuses treatment, not wanting to be a burden or to cut down their firepower. In addition, he feels that there is someone who is putting all the blame on himself: Tieria.
63* Johann and Michael's deaths. Yet again, someone dies at the hands of Ali. Sure they are not very nice people, but seeing their reaction after Ali mercilessly attacks them is very painful. Johann's statement is that they are nothing but [[ChildSoldier child soldiers]], who only exist to be "Meisters" tasked by "someone". Then, they end up being killed in battle by the enemies.
64--> '''Johann:''' This can't be. We were meant to do this. We were born to be Gundam Meisters. This is what we lived for...
65[[AC:Episode 23]]
66* After what already happened to Lockon in two previous episodes, Tieria locks Lockon in his room, feeling it is the only way he can protect him. Unfortunately, Tieria failed because Lockon succeeded in escaping from Ptolemy. All the Ptolemy crew and the other Meisters worry about him, but Lockon insists he will be fine if they follow Sumeragi’s directions. Sumeragi can only hope that Setsuna will hurry and save Lockon before it is too late.
67* Lockon finally "succeeds" in avenging the death of his family, but he is unable to feel joy in it. Lockon feels so empty because he cannot move on from the tragedy.
68** Lockon's thoughts focus on a memory of celebrating Christmas with his family, and it quickly shifts to the moment where he is alone in the rubble where his family became victims in KPSA's bombing. This sends the message home just what Lockon lost that day.
69** Lockon thought’s turn to his twin, Lyle Dylandy. He wonders how his brother’s future will turn out. Then he sees Exia rushing to his location, and wonders if Setsuna ever found the answers he was looking for.
70* This episode ends ''extremely'' tragically when Lockon Stratos, the series' resident badass is killed in battle, sending the remnants of his Gundam and his Haro, which was pleading for Lockon's life the entire time, back to the main ship. Who'd ever think that a constant SayMyName could be so depressing? It's all made even worse when you consider that Lockon had survived a perilous situation within the ''previous two episodes'' (albeit with [[EyeScream eye damage]]); no one expected Sunrise to let him survive that, only to kill him off so soon afterwards.
71** Lockon's final words show just how unhappy he was with how his life turned out:
72--> '''Lockon:''' You people down there... are you satisfied with the way the world is? As for me... I hate it.
73** Then finally we have Setsuna's heartbreaking reaction. As Exia is closing in, and Setsuna has a visual of Lockon, a nearby cannon explodes, catching Lockon in the blast. Setsuna screams Lockon’s name. The scene cuts to the surviving Meisters and Ptolemy crew, all either in shocked disbelief, or crying after hearing Haro calling out for Lockon. Then the scene cuts back to Setsuna, who has Lockon’s gun in Exia's palm, suggesting he tried to search for Lockon. Setsuna is slumped in his cockpit, whispering Lockon’s name, and sobbing softly. Then the episode ends with Setsuna tearfully wailing in anguish. Of note is that this is also the ''only'' time Setsuna is shown crying in the entire series.
74[[AC:Episode 24]]
75* In episode 24, Haro and a letter for Lockon are placed in Dynames with the orders to 'go where Lockon is, so he's not alone'.
76* Dr. Moreno being killed by the attack of Alvatore's beam. Ian reaction after see his death is so painful after you known that they are the senior member of Ptolemaios. In the Prequel Novel, it shown that Ian and Moreno had been best friends for sometime and that they also used work with Feldt's deceased parents in ''Krung Thep''.
77---> ''"Dammit! Why did you have to go off and die, idiot?"''
78* Lichtendahl attempts a HeroicSacrifice to save Christina... but it doesn't work, since not only is ''she'' fatally injured as well, but the Ptolemy bridge ''explodes'' right after that, [[ShootTheShaggyDog completely erasing any chance of survival]]. Honestly, that episode becomes a sobfest just ''four minutes in'', what with Haro going "Feldt, I'm sorry; Feldt, I'm sorry", and a grieving Feldt tearfully saying that it needn't apologize because what happened to Lockon wasn't its fault.
79[[AC:Episode 25]]
80* Soma refuses to finish off Allelujah and chooses to save Sergei due to his injury. Sergei initially refuses her help and urges her to keep fighting, but Soma is unable to do it and saves him because she doesn't want to be alone again. Seeing her expression is heartbreaking because Soma is still able to show her emotion and sadness about being the perfect SuperSoldier, who only exists to fight. Soma is not a emotionless-being, she still a human.
81* Allelujah's reaction after realizing that Soma was the person called '''Marie''' is very painful. They used to know each other when he was still at the facility. However, Allelujah ''chooses'' to not tell him about her identity because it will make Allelujah lose his interest in fighting and will be killed as a result. After finishing his word, it ends with that he will "go first" and closes his eyes. Surprised, Allelujah realizes that he is unable to feel his existence again, and driving alone and helplessly in space with his injury, he ends up being captured by the Federation.
82** In the epilogue of the novelization version of season 1, it's stated that the Federation (especially A-Laws) treats Allelujah very inhumanely, subjecting him to horrible interrogations and tormenting him because he never answered their questions about the Celestial Being. Allelujah remained strong and never gave up protecting his comrades by refusing to answer any of their questions.
83* Tieria, seemingly near death, ejecting the GN drive from the destroyed Nadleeh and saying that he can finally reunite with Lockon.
84* Setsuna's letter to Marina:
85--> ''"Marina... Ismail... By the time you read this... I'll already be gone. Armed Interventions to put an end to war... I'm unable to do anything but fight for Celestial Being... You taught me what it means to fight. Back then, just like Gundam. I wanted to know.. Why our world is so terminally distorted? Where did this distortion come from? Why are there people who are unconsciously evil? Why do they not realize that their evil hurts others? Why is humanity an existence that only conflicts with itself? Why are there people to rule, and those who are ruled? Why do we wound each other? In spite of all this, why do people go on living like they do? I wanted to ask you. Please think of an answer, if we may meet again. That being the case, I will seek out the same thing on a different path than yours. Down the path towards mutual human understanding for the answer. I'll keep looking for it, together with my Gundam. Together with... My Gundam."''
86* Sumeragi turns out to have run away from Celestial Being, knowing that she already caused their losses at ''Operation Fallen Angels'' and blames herself for causing Lockon, Christina, Lichty and Dr. Moreno's deaths, with Allelujah and Setsuna confirmed M.I.A. They are only able to recover Tieria. Despite knowing Sumeragi had left, Tieria along with Feldt, Ian and Lasse decide to recover from their losses, and keep going to focus on developing new technology for fighting and changing the future, especially the development of the 00 Gundam.
87* It turns out that ''Ali Al-Saachez survived Lockon's attack'', making Lockon's sacrifice pointless. Poor Neil...
88[[/folder]]

90[[folder:Season 2]]
91[[AC:Episode 1]]
92* The result of Celestial Being's defeat 4 years ago in ''Operation Fallen Angels'' has left its impact on the world. Now, there is a fascist group named A-Laws, a secret military that believed to be the federation's ''loyal'' lapdog that has orders to kill and capture anyone who refuses the world unification. The peace already promised by the federation has never happened in the 4 years after their victory; instead the world ended up being controlled by The Innovator and Ribbons Almark, who has become the shadow dictator of the world. They not only use Veda to control the media and technology, but also the current federation president is nothing but a PuppetKing. All the interventions Celestial Being did only pave way for something even worse.
93* We finally see Louise. That is... seeing her end up as a ''military soldier''. Because we already saw this poor girl already so broken and traumatized in the hospital in the last season. And we see her now as an A-Laws soldier because of her family fortune and her connection with the Innovators. Her reason: she wanted to avenge her family's deaths and punish everyone who refuses peace.
94* Louise is unable to make her condition stable. She even pants heavily after successfully killing one Katharon member. It become worse when her TraumaButton is pressed when she see Exia, and suffer a headache. As the result, Louise take some medicine to calmed her anxiety and this also makes Barrack Zinin question why A-Laws accepted a weaklings like Louise to be a pilot.
95* We finally can see Sumeragi. She's spend four years drinking alcohol and living with Billy, who still unable to move on from their loses.
96* Saji ended being captured only because he was asking why his work-mate is being detained, mistaking him as part of the rebels and being forced to work as a forced laborer.
97* Saji reunion with Setsuna is very heartbreaking. He never expected that the neighbor that he know to be so quiet are the member of Celestial Being. A organization that he believed to be responsible for making him and Louise suffering. Saji ended up crying and wanted to shoot Setsuna, but he can't do it because he believe he will end up becoming as ''bad'' as them if he actually shot Setsuna.
98* And we finally see Allelujah. Judging from Allelujah's condition after he was imprisoned by the Federation, you can clearly see that he received horrible CruelMercy from them, such as placing him in isolation, binding him to a metal chair in a straitjacket with a muzzle covering his mouth. He has ExhaustedEyeBags, probably a sign of his unhealthy living conditions or his lack of sleep, since it's very difficult to have to sleep in a sitting position for ''over four years''. This makes fans wonder what the Federation did to him when he was still in prison.
99[[AC:Episode 2]]
100* We see Setsuna finally meet Lyle Dylandy, Neil's twin brother. Setsuna recruit him to continue Neil's legacy as Lockon Stratos. Lyle didn't know the tragic fate of his brother, and after Setsuna told to him that he already died four years ago, Lyle unable to believe that the only family member that he has already gone without his knowledge.
101* It's turn out that Sergei initially refuse to let Soma involve with A-Laws with whatever reason. After Kati know that Soma finally join A-Laws after Andrei pick her from their house, Kati confess her confusion of Sergei statement about the reason why he never let Soma join A-Laws.
102* It's shown that Billy has great concern over Sumeragi (or more known as Leesa) health due to she already drinking too much. When they see Setsuna come to his apartment and inform to Billy that Sumeragi is part of the member of organization that he hate so much due to he believe already cause his mentor death, he ended so broken.
103** Look at Sumeragi's face. She doesn’t attempt to deny anything Setsuna says and she knows what the consequences will be.
104* Sumeragi confess all her regret and confusion about her failure. She feel if they try to rebuild the crew and once again fight for future, their sacrifice will become so meaningless. She try hard to run away from any responsibility because she fear that she will cause another problem that will happen to them. This why Sumeragi spend her time by drinking alcohol, because she can't cope her grief and she didn't even tell to the other about her problems.
105* Marina was captured by the federation due to her past involvement with Celestial Being. This poor woman never involve herself or her country to ally with Celestial Being beside they ever save their ''Imam'' from Ali. Because of this, she was forced to imprisoned in same prison where Allelujah is placed.
106* The reaction of every Ptolemy crew after see Lyle Dylandy. They are so surprised and thinking that Lyle is the same previous Lockon Stratos (a.k.a Neil Dylandy) who already killed four years ago. Even Haro thinking same things with the other's. It's hard to believe that current Lockon is a ''different'' person.
107--> "Lockon, you're alive! Lockon, You're alive!"
108* And the last scene we see Allelujah again, who still BoundAndGagged in isolated prison, is sleeping. He begin slowly open his eyes and mention "Marie" in his mind before the cliffhanger of the episode.
109[[AC:Episode 3]]
110* Allelujah forced to wake up by Soma Peries to start his last interrogation section. He so glad that he finally can meet her and calling her "Marie". Soma is surprised, and Allelujah tell to her that they used to be a friend when he still at HRL super soldier facility. And Soma furiously tell to him that her name is not Marie, leaving him under confusion. No longer after she leaved, Allelujah realized that the scientist already change her personality with new personality that they named her as "Soma Peries", which resulting why she can't remember him.
111** [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/6/6d/Zxsdshhk.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110813212011 The novel illustration of when Soma coldly ended her interrogation section is more sadder.Its shown that Allelujah try to calling her in desperation, with two man try to calm him before put his muzzle back. ]] Sad, indeed.
112* Sumeragi still insecure if they able to save Allelujah from prison. Even though all crew put their trust to create the strategy to save him, she still scared if her strategy will be failed. Thanks to Setsuna statement that if they failed, they will never blame her and keep their mind to save him until they success. So they can start the operation with Gundam for once again, which leading Sumeragi finally giving them a strategy to save Allelujah in 3 minutes.
113* Allelujah almost successfully to make Soma remember her real name and her past, by calling her true fullname '''Marie Parfacy'''. Soma is surprised and flashed a brief flashback of herself as a child talk to someone, resulting she suffer a headache. Allelujah wanted to bring her, but he has no choice to leave her alone with Andrei due they has no time to save her as Setsuna instruct to him. Allelujah promised to her that he will return to save her without fail.
114* Setsuna finally got the information that Marina is imprisoned in the same facility with Allelujah. He wanted to the other meisters to give him a extra minute to save her too. After their operation is successful, Setsuna apologize to Marina that their involvement to save Azadistan's ''Imam'' can cause her get into the trouble. Marina, being ActualPacifist, still unable to understand why Setsuna still fighting with Gundam even though he already explain that it was the only way to change the future, and Marina begin crying.
115[[AC:Episode 4]]
116* The intro to episode 4 of season two. The flashback shows the first time Allelujah finds Marie as a child as well as the horrible conditions the two had to put up with in the facility. If that wasn't a TearJerker already, we then get to see how Allelujah got his name in the first place.
117-->'''Allelujah''': That was the moment when she baptized me... in the truest sense of the word.
118** This scene was even more of a TearJerker in the Special Edition version, where Allelujah remembered this when he was still in prison and his quotes were also slightly changed.
119-->'''Allelujah''': That's right... as the words are, it has become my baptism. She, what Marie said... makes me the human that I am now.
120* Allelujah come to see Sumeragi tells to her about Marie and his reason to fight. He tell to her that he was being imprisoned, he had no problem with rotting in prison and dying alone because he feel it's the right time to "atone for his sins". However, everything changes after he sees Amnesiac-Marie as Soma Peries at his last interrogation, and decides to save her from the Federation. It becomes his main motivation for wanting to continue to fight. Sumeragi feel jealous over Allelujah due to he has a reason to fight while she is not, but he believe one day she will found it.
121** While this can count as heartwarming, this scene also so sad because we already see three previous episode, Allelujah was placed in isolated prison alone in darkness. He didn't show any trauma while he indeed confess his depression that he has no mind if he will dying alone in prison. However, he still able to cheer-up Sumeragi beside everything what already happen to him.
122* Marina finally make her decision to return to Azadistan. She wanted Setsuna to help her to rebuild her country where everyone can leave peacefully without any conflict and tell to him that fighting will never bring any good resolve to peace. Setsuna with expression known Marina was ''right'', but he can't help but refuse her offer. He tell to her that he used to think a same way with her before he become Meisters. However, due to many conflict that involve in entire world and him ever being used to be a child soldier who saved by Gundam, he fully believe that fighting with is the ''only'' the ''best'' way to stop the conflict.
123[[AC:Episode 5]]
