In Mobile Suit Gundam 00 season 2 episode 1, entitled "The Angels Second Advent," the story picks up four years after the collapse of the Celestial Being organization. The world has been transformed as a result of the Innovators, who have introduced new technology that has brought peace to the world. However, the peace is a fragile one, and there are still those who oppose this new order.
The episode opens with a scene of a destroyed city, with people working to rebuild it. In the midst of this, a group of terrorists attacks, using old-style mobile suits. It quickly becomes clear that they are using a new type of weapon, one that the current mobile suits cannot handle.
Meanwhile, Setsuna F. Seiei, one of the former Gundam Meisters, is working as a member of the A-Laws, an organization that has been formed to maintain peace in the new world. However, Setsuna is conflicted about this work, and the fact that he is fighting against people who are fighting for what they believe in.
Elsewhere, Ribbons Almark, leader of the Innovators, is making preparations for something, and it is clear that there is more to the story than meets the eye.
As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that there is a larger plan at work, one that involves the true nature of the Innovators and their relationship to the mysterious Celestial Being organization. We see glimpses of other characters from the first season, such as Lockon Stratos, who is now working with the A-Laws, and Saji Crossroad, who is trying to find his place in this new world.
As the episode comes to a close, Setsuna is faced with a difficult decision when he realizes that the A-Laws are not what he thought they were. It becomes clear that there are larger forces at work, and that this new world order may not be as peaceful as it seems.
Overall, "The Angels Second Advent" is a strong opening episode for season 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. It sets up the story well, introducing new conflicts and characters while also exploring the consequences of the events of season 1. With its engaging story and compelling characters, it's sure to hook fans of the series and newcomers alike.
