This episode focuses on the struggle within the Kingdom of Azadistan. The leader of the Conservatives is kidnapped, and the conflict between the Conservatives and Reformists escalates from street protest and demonstration to civil war. The armed intervention of the Celestial Beings come to Middle East this time, and encounter not only MSs of Azadistan, but forces from Union as well.
No Kyrios and Virtue in this episode, only Exia and Dynames are sent into action. Then again, we know that their firepower and superiority is more than enough to handle their enemies. While Exia is busy fighting in the city, Dynames faces Graham Arce's Customized Flag, and is forced to use his beam saber for the first time ^^ The battle scene between Dynames and Graham's Flag is really quite cool. Too bad it's a bit short.
There's no real conclusion at the end of this episode. The Conservatives' leader is not rescued, and the real culprit, Ali Al Sarshes from Episode 6 made a note that something big is going to happen after this. I suppose we'll have to wait till next episode to find out what exactly is Ali trying to conjure.
By the way, Gundam Double O will be taking a break next week due to New Year celebration, so Episode 13: Return Of The Saints will only be available next year (that sounds like it's going to be a long wait ^^; when in fact, it's just two weeks from now) - 5th January.
If you don't mind the Chinese subtitle, you can watch this episode on Tudou.
Also, two new mecha being announced for the two side stories of Gundam Double O : 00P and 00V:
Shell Flag (00V) and Astraea Type F (00P).
