I do believe Lyle means it when he says that he’s sick of being compared to Neil. i myself see the act of inheriting just about everything that was (& were meant to be) his brothers’ as a means to honor a brave warrior–Neil, as well as using it as a means of aiding Kataron. i dunno if i’m right in this but i think he’s trying to surpassed his brother while honoring him at the same time.

About GN Drives, it differs from GN Tau Drives by having Topological Defect (TD) Blankets. the thing that could only be manufactured in Jupiter (not so sure about needing decades though) & responsible for enabling the drives to generate energy while using them, making it an essentially inexhaustible power source. it also permitted the use of TransAm as the GN particles generated are in such a large quantity, a limiter needed to be installed for stability reasons. lifting the limiter evoke the TransAm.

The kiss from Lyle was definitely more to just try and kill the comparison to his brother. Definitely not about helping Feldt to move on, though it might help.

But if he didn’t want to be compared to his brother he seriously picked the wrong place to be. Goes in there uses his brothers catchphrase, the successor to his brothers Gundam, same codename, and the same bloody Haro.

Tough times on Allelujah. Since he’s really lost a step since last season. Sure he doesn’t get a headache around Soma all the time, but his skills have suffered as a result.

I have to point out that Lyle kissed Feldt on purpose so she could see he is not his older brother. He’s being a jerk, but it’s to disillusion others or else he’ll have to live as his brothers shadow as long as he’s in CB.

Also the name of the new CB spaceship is Ptolemaios II, not Poseidon. As for why the Federation doesn’t have Trans-AM technology that’s because when they captured the Kyrios Alleujah had already ejected the GN drive. The drive was picked up by a branch organization of CB called Fereshte and eventually returned to CB. Trans-AM is a unique system of the original furnaces, so just having the suit is not enough (it’s like trying to build a sports car without its high performance engine). And while the Federation might be able to mass produce fake solar furnaces they don’t and so far never had their hands on one of the original five solar furnaces.

Indeed, the EF could have reverse engineered the systems in the Kyrios, but they did not get the true GN drive (the source of trans-am and the power of it). So it’s likely that the EF knows how to use GN drives as well as CB did in Season 1….but they just are limited to GN (tau) Drives rather than the true solar furnaces.

I don’t really see how the romance could be a defining factor in the series given how little it’s actually focused on it. Even if this episode had a little of it I think there are far more important factors to look at then that, but hey whatever. I just wouldn’t go expecting any sort of serious romance out of Gundam 00 unless you are actively trying to set yourself up for disappointment

Firstly, Lindt was relying on the fact that they have anti-GN Field missiles and new underwater mobile armors.

Secondly, aside from the fact that EF DON’T HAVE A TRUE GN Drive, it’s been implied in S1 and extra materials that the construction of GN Drives can ONLY take place in Jupiter and takes decades to make one, which is why only 5 exist.

The Earth Federation DID mass-produce Gn tau drives (now orange in colour).

Allelujah ejected the GN drive from Kyrios before he was captured, because the drive that Arios uses is the one he used for Kyrios.

So, yea the EF didn;t get their hands on a real GN drive, but they probably reverse engineered Kyrios’ materials into future suits (maybe Billy will take care of this)
