Of course, the arrival of the second-half squad of psychotic Gundam pilots changed that and, while Setsuna, unfortunately, prevented Ali from blowing up Nena, her survival eventually led to Wang Liu Mei being slapped, which was great, and later being blown up, which was even better, followed by Nena being blown up herself, which was the icing on the cake.
Overall, I actually like the second season more than the first one, had a lot of great moments and the characters were likable from the beginning to the end though some were not as great, obviously; I couldn't help but think "Weaboo" whenever Mr. Bushido showed up.
Setsuna calling out to his Gundam after everyone else (minus Tieria, of course) had named their loved ones was the most hilarious moment, though, I thought he was finally opening up to Marina.
