Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Operation 3

Duo and Quatre, who is the heir to an enormous fortune, hide out in the desert with sympathetic rebels while their three counterparts undergo various personal crises. Having lost a sword duel to Treize, Chang broods and announces, "I have no right to fight." Heero seeks forgiveness for having inadvertently caused the death of pacifist leader Marshal Noventa--and offers to let each of the Marshal's relatives shoot him. Trowa is overcome with admiration for Heero's nobility, and almost kills himself in an attempt to follow his example. Dissuaded by circus performer Catherine, Trowa helps Heero prepare for a mobile suit duel with Treize. Meanwhile, Relena tries to assassinate the icy Lady Une and forges an alliance with Lieutenant Noin.

The plots and character motivations may sound improbable, but the episodes deliver plenty of robot vs. robot battles--which is what Gundam fans want.

Rated 13 and older for occasional profanity and violence, largely restricted to machines attacking each other. --Charles Solomon

I think that this DVD is very good, and a whole lot better than the videos. It is also un-cut, and that makes it better. This DVD contains 5 episodes. 11:The Whereabouts of Happiness

12:Bewildered Soldiers 13:Catherine's Tears 14:The Order to Destroy 1 15:To the Battleground-Antartica

The First one concerns Quatre and Duo. They get there gundams repaired with all of Quatre's Friends. Also, Relena goes to Moscow to kill Lady Une for killing her father.

The Second Episode is mostly about Wufei. He meets Sally Po and helps her fight off the Alliance and Oz. He informs her that the weak shouldn't be fighting.

The Third Episode is about Trowa and Heero. Trowa decides he wants to put on a show in his circus with his gundam and attacks an Oz facility. He almost kills himself but Catherine's Tears stop him.

The Fourth Episode revolves around Heero. He decides to visit Marshal Noventa's Granddaughter, and he hands her a gun to shoot him. He apoligizes to her. Trowa also holds off Alliance Troops.

The Fifth and final episode has Lietendent Noin visit Trowa and Heero and ask them to go to Antarctica to fight Zechs. They go but are followed by suspicious Oz Carriers... This is a very good DVD, and the sound quality is great. I highly suggest it, especially if you like Gundam Wing.


Trowa Laughed!   August 4, 2000

I'm a die-hard Gundam Wing fan, and I'm going to tell you basically what's in this DVD. In Episode 11, Relena heads to Moscow having found out that Lady Une is there. She aims her gun at her father's killer Lady Une. Too bad she missed. Duo meets Quatre and the 40 maganac soldiers. In Episode 12, we find out that Heero is alive, even after he self-detonated. Trowa had saved Heero's life. In Episode 12, Trowa laughs for the first and only time in the entire Gundam Wing Anime. Wufei meets Sally Po in Episode 12. In Episode 13, Trowa puts on a performance at the circus for OZ soldiers using his Gundam HeavyArms. Trowa plans to self-detonate and kill himself after he finishes destroying the nearby OZ base. Catherine's tears stops Trowa from killing himself. In Episode 14, Heero is searching for the relatives of Marshall Noventa to apologize for accidentally killing the Marshall. He starts by finding the Marshall's granddaughter, Silvia Noventa. Zechs has been rebuilding Heero's Gundam (01). The Romefeller foundation orders Zechs to blow up the rebuilt Gundam 01, but what he blows up is only a dummy. Noin finds Heero and Trowa and Invites them to go with her to Antarctica where Zechs awaits with the rebuilt Gundam 01. In episode 15, Romefeller's inspector wasn't fooled by Zechs trick to blow up the dummy Gundam. He follows Noin, Trowa and Heero. However, Trowa destroys the instructor with Gundam HeavyArms using a very cool spinnning knife slash. Well, that's about all I can tell you. Enjoy watching it. I'd give any Gundam Wing stuff 20 stars anytime! :-)


Only Operation 3? I Want Them All!!   September 27, 2000

Some people can only watch the Gundam series on DVD or VHS, and are longing for the third DVD in the series, which covers episodes 11-15. After the devilishly evil way that the producers ended episode 10, the fate of the Gundam boys hangs in the balance. By the end of episode 15, more characters are added to the mix and the plot becomes even more complex. Character changes that were hinted at during the first ten episodes begin to take shape. What will happen to Heero? Is Wing Gundam gone forever? How will Zechs deal with his grief over the disgraceful actions taken by Lady Une? It's all too much to bear. Gundam Wing is lauded for its character development and plotline, and these five episodes are vital to those two components. Give me more Gundam!


The Story starts to heat up   July 13, 2000

This is another DVD collection of GUNDAM WING, which I do not want to have this slip on my hand. I got here the short synopsis of the 3rd DVD: "On this another set of episodes of Gundam Wing Mobile Suits, the story heats up as the Earth and Space Colonies going to start the war as with the Gundam Pilots pushes their deadly mission. Oz set a trap for the Gundam Pilots, and its up to Heero's decision lies the fate of all Gundam Pilots. Meanwhile, in this series of episodes The TallGeese Mobile suit of Zech's will be reveiled." Add this DVD in your Gundam Wing Collection. I rated the Gundam Wing series as perfect "10".
