Ignis and pmc cover the return of Wu Fei, a character no one asked to return but who will spend the entire series relentlessly returning, rest assured.

Gundam Wing has become a land of contrasts: the boys go deep on why The Lonely Battlefield works for them where And Its Name Is Epyon doesn't function so hot. GW itself gives us both an angel (Wing Zero) and a devil (Epyon) although both function like devils at the moment. Lastly, a lot of the characters are having meaningful moments both for their characters and the plot, but then there's Treize, the enemy of just about everyone and everything.
