Episode 22: Suddenly! Brings and Devines! Hundreds of them! Holy shit could I actually be right about this?
Whilst I tend to prefer to remain unspoiled on shows that I’m watching, being a regular user of the Internet makes it often very difficult to avoid them. I also find that when shows are currently airing you see so many rumours flying about from so many different sources that it’s nigh on impossible to work out which rumours are accurate spoilers. This has meant that with a popular show like 00 airing I’ve been seeking out as many rumours as I can and getting extra enjoyment from the wild speculation on what will actually happen.
I’m very glad that I’ve been doing this now because one particular rumour suddenly slotted into place with several known facts about 00 in a way that seems to me that it fits surprisingly well. This is purely my own speculation and I am making no promises that it will be true, but it’s certainly an interesting idea in my opinion.
The first important fact to consider is that the Seravee has one more secret system than the Seraphim, we’ve seen it in both of the S2 openings in the form of that huge red cross that forms on the back-face. We don’t actually know anything about this system except for the seemingly reliable rumour that it requires use of Veda to activate it. The fact that the final arc of the show is going to be a battle to take back Veda lends more credence to this.
Now if the system does require Veda then that raises the question of how it was created, Celestial Being have had their access to Veda completely severed since episode 21 of season 1. This means that it would be nigh on impossible for them to create it after that point as they would have no possible method to test that the system works or is even possible. This means that it must have been at least partially developed before Ribbons jacked Veda, it is possible that Linda Vashti was working on this in the background of season 1, but given how Celestial Being would have won before then if it weren’t for Alejandro and Ribbons screwing them over I don’t think they would have been looking to do more than improve the weaponry for the gundams at that point.
So if Celestial Being didn’t create this system, who did? Well we already know of two secrets for the gundams that were developed before season 1 even started, the Trans-Am system and the concept for the Twin Drive. I do not think it would be unlikely for Aeolia to have included a couple more juicy tidbits in the data he sent, and perhaps that Seravee’s secret was included. Aeolia had a large hand in creating Veda so presumably he could have installed a secret back door for this system to take advantage of (on the secret level 8 not even Ribbons knows of or something), thus there would be less need for Celestial Being to test it as it could already have been proven to work.
Now at this point I assume you’re wondering what rumour it is that has sent me off on this tangent, and oddly enough it’s actually nothing that mentions Veda, it’s the rumour that mass produced mobile suits and Innovators will appear in the final battle. This may seem entirely unrelated but if you consider that Ribbons has been shown to take control of an Innovator via use of Veda then it all potentially comes together.
If this theory is correct then I imagine a scene in episode 24 or 25, Ribbons is using his mass produced innovators to kick ten different kinds of ass, Revive and Hilling could be alive or dead and Regene may have started his plan against Ribbons or he may still be standing behind him sharpening his knife. Celestial Being are losing and it’s only a desperate push that gets Tieria into Veda’s system core where he takes control back from Ribbons. Then he opens a video communication to Ribbons (who is being as arrogant as always) and just smirks at him.
“When Aeolia Schenberg sent us the concept for the Twin Drive system he also included this upgrade to the Nadleeh’s trial system. We didn’t really know precisely what its effect would be, just that it would allow an even stronger link to Veda for the person who uses it. We therefore chose to build it into the Seravee for me.”
Next Tieria’s eyes GLOW and suddenly all the mass produced innovators are fighting under his control, and Ribbons Almark shits enough bricks to build a new orbital ring on the solar power system.
I can’t claim that this theory is based on anything but my own wild speculation but I can’t see any real flaws in it, so it quite easily COULD be what the Seravee’s secret system is for. Please feel free to point out any gaping holes in my logic, like if I’ve missed any plot points that go against it.
