Yeah, the fact that he didn't instantly cut Ali in two is a bit out of character.
As for picking up the GN Arms - the reason that it only got "picked up" recently by the Ptolemais crew is because they'd finally reached the stage in the plans that they'd determined was appropriate to unveil it. There's a bit of dialogue that says as much right before the two crewmen were sent to pick it up. Also, Exia's GN Arms was the only unit that was complete at the time, so it's possible that they started their "Eradicate War" operation before the Arms were finished and operational. junior Subject : RE: [gundam] Episode 22 *major spoilers* Date : Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:43:37 -0500 >From : "Reynolds, Jason M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : <[email protected]> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> He spent so much time playing with his Matrix-bullet-dodging moves that he forget there this wonderful chance to TAKE THAT FREAKING REVENGE ON ALI ALREADY. >>>>>>>>>>>> I am glad I am not the only one flabbergasted by that. Also if Setsuna traveled to Earth in the Exia aboard the GN Arms why wasn't the GN Arms involved in the fight from the beginning???? Did Lasse have to stop to pick up gas or donuts or something?? Oh wait it was for the dramatic reveal of the Trans-Am Mode. But then there is some speculation that the GN Arms was made for use by Gundams in Trans-Am mode. If that is so then it sure is awfully convenient that they went to all of the trouble of sending Lasse to get it when they had no idea when, or even if, the Trans-Am mode would be turned on...
