After rewatching part of the fight between the Gundams - it's BOTH that smile, albeit at different parts of the fight.
When the TRIAL system is shut down, it's definitely Corner that smiles. You can see his hair and his clothing. Earlier on, when Ribbon reports to Corner that the Gundams are fighting, Corner makes an observation that it's happened sooner than he expected. He then thinks to himself that it's time to move on to phase 3, and Ribbon, who's standing behind him, gives a small smile. So... Corner apparently has a direct link to Veda somehow. And, among other things, it allows him to turn off the TRIAL system. Best guess? As we've speculated, Ribbon is a link to something going on behind the scenes. But Corner is very much "in on it" - or at least much more so than the Ptolemais's crew realizes. Speculation - Billy will follow enough of Eifmann's research to uncover CB's true goal, and Tieria will remove the block on the Level 7 data roughly simultaneously, just in time to create a season break cliff-hanger. junior Subject : RE: [RE][gundam] Gundam 00 Episode 19 **Spoilers** Date : Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:48:26 -0600 >From : "Reynolds, Jason M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : <[email protected]> I thought that the one smiling was Corner's assistant Ribbons. I think he is more connected then he has let on and his higher up then Corner.
