Is this character going to be appearing in the new future? Must be the new guy in the new opening cause I don't recall a character by that name.

well there goes the theories of a tribute character for one of the people in High and Mighty Color (artists of the new OP). And the suit Haine pilots looks to be the love child of a Zaku and a Gouf.

It's pronounced just like you'd say "ss."

To give an anime example, Weiß Kreuz is often written as Weiss Kreuz.

I have to make a correction, fluss was spelled correctly. This because of a change in spelling in 1998. Although the objection against the changes is so great that some newspapers refuse to use the new spelling. But its offially fluss. Nothing changes in the pronounciation though. You pronounce the u like the second e in heaven.

The ß is indeed a letter, you pronounce it like sz. Its a remnant from the Ghotic age. According to the new spelling all the "ß" are replaced by "ss". There is a lot of discussion about it though, so most people still use the ß. The ß isnt part of the the german alphabet (the german alphabet is the same is the english). don't know how they call the ß in English though.

Ow yeah, forgot>>> you write the ß like beta. The left "stick" in the ß is a bit longer (downwards). And the name Weiss Kreuz literally means white cross.

ps. finally found a use for four years of German Very Happy

Most of us would call it something along the lines of "that funny looking german B thingy."

We prefer not to thing about all these weird letters and accents and oomlats, lol

Yep. He's the new FAITH Team member. Pretty, ain't he?

That's because it is a Gouf. The Gouf Ignited.

Future SEED Destiny suits? I'm guessing the Dom Trooper, Rick Dom Spectre, Gelgoog Firebrand, and...Gyan Pride, perhaps? Granted, seeing as how this is the SEED universe, expect every single one of those to be in almost all-caps and make up some bizarre acronym (DOM Trooper: Destructive Optimised Munitions Trooper?).

His character in Destiny looks more like him. How scary. O_o I'm still looking forward to his appearance.

That Gouf Ignited is a pretty cool looking suit. I wonder what role he'll play in the story.
