She told him that it’s not goodbye and they would surely meet again. Ah no, you’ve become a first lieutenant, haven’t you? This is me. A girl’s voice was heard over the communication line: “Ensign Riddhe. Then he suddenly heard the characteristic sound of beam magnum and came face to face with a Gundam Mk II. “ Please, show up before me… make me believe that there is still possibility…” Riddhe separated himself and he just kept pleading Banagher to show himself. On DecemRiddhe, under Iago Haakana in Shezarr team, returned to the area where Banagher was last seen about half a year ago (on May 4, to be exact). Some personal talk about Riddhe ensued: he told Kai that he originally wanted to be an aeroplane pilot, not a mobile suit pilot. Namikawa Daisuke is so, so emotional here.) Kai saw Riddhe’s pendant and asked him about it. (Between bits of his talk with Kai we heard his monologue, “Why are you acting alone? You always make me feel miserable”. But Riddhe just could not believe this…īut then Riddhe met Kai Shiden, who told him that Banagher Links was still alive and he’s with Mineva now. Alberto’s reply was the same: Banagher didn’t come back.
(Aw, Alberto…) And yes, Riddhe also asked Alberto where Banagher was. Riddhe also met Alberto, who told Riddhe that sometimes he saw Marida in dreams. Riddhe said to his father that Banagher did come back (not ‘ascending’ like Rita in Gundam Narrative), but Ronan said nobody saw him come back. He showed Riddhe pics of what happened to mobile suits launched from the General Revil at the end of Unicorn and they talked about what happened back then to Singularity One. Riddhe met his father Ronan in November 0096, and Ronan told him that Banshee’s black box recording had been opened and he quoted Riddhe’s words to Banagher, “You have just been born”. Riddhe (now a first lieutenant) didn’t know that Banagher was still alive, and we learnt from his flashback that at the end of Unicorn, Mineva told him to go back to Nahel Argama, bringing back Banshee to Earth.įrom this drama CD we also know that Riddhe has an older sister, whose name is Cynthia (?). If you have the script, so much better…Īnd a bit of warning: I might sound like an overjoyed fangirl here. If you find mistakes or want to add something (or two, or many…), please leave a comment.
BANAGHER GUNDAM NT UPDATE
I will return to update it every time I understand more bits of the dialogues. (It is said that the first prints of Gundam Unicorn re-release earlier this year came with the script, but I *check own boxset* didn’t get that.) So here I’m just going to write down overview of things that I am sure of. I’m not too good at listening and I unfortunately haven’t found the script to this drama CD. Fortunately, the Gundam Narrative booklet comes with information about the time when each track happens so that we can keep, ahem, track. The story goes back and forth in time and it might be a bit difficult to follow. There are 11 tracks in the drama CD, and each track corresponds to a different scene that might be set on different dates.
The story somehow connects Unicorn and Narrative, occurring mainly in the final months of 0096 and in January 0097. The boxset of Gundam Narrative came with a drama CD, 獅子の帰還 ( Return of the Lion), featuring Riddhe Marcenas.
