The first episode "Sanc Kingdom's Calapse" is exactly as it sounds. When Quatre heads back to the Sanc Kingdom with his Sandrock, accompanied by the Maquanac Core, Romefeller decides to destroy the SAnc Kindom. After some intense battle, Relena surrenders to the foundation, yet Heero continues to fight the mobile dolls in the Epyon. In "Wing Zero Vs. Epyon", we get a sweet fight between Zechs and Heero, but the best part is the introduction of the newest faction, the White Fang. Tuberov is taken hostage, but ends up getting killed when Wu Fei interviens. Zechs and Heero also exchange Gundams. In "The Birth of Queen Relena" we start out with Duo meeting up with Quatre and then Quatre finally meets the amnesia Trowa. Despite Kathy's attempts to comfort him, Trowa decides to head back out and fight. At the end of the episode, Relena makes her proposal for the World Nation. In "Trowa's Return to the Battlfield", Quatre, Noin and Trowa are attacked by OZ, but Duo comes in to help. Meanwhile Heero makes his own plan's to kill Relena. In "A New Leader", Duke Dermail finds himself in dire straights when Relena starts making Romefeller's desicions. To counter this, he heads out to uprise his military in space. Unfortunetly, the White Fang's captured ship, Libra, is attacked by Wu Fei. Once Wu Fei is blown back, the White FAng announces war on Earth by Millardo Peacecraft (aka Zechs). And to start off this war, the White Fang ambushes Duke Dermails transport and he is killed. Menus are pretty much the same as well as extras. Except on this disc, we get a synphosis on the SAnc Kingdom rather than a bio. Not all that exciting, but different. Overall, a much more pleasent volume with a lot taking place within it.

The two gundams has a lot in common. They make the pilot ruthless and he'll destroy any and all enemies in his path. Zechs and Heero battle in the two gundams. Meanwhile, Relena surrenders to the Romfellar (spelling?) Foundation, which is attacking the Sanc Kingdom. Romfellar offers Relena to be the spokesperson of the foundation, and make her "Queen Relena"
Quarte finds Trowa in the circus. Quarte is dumbfounded as he learns that Trowa doesn't remember him or any of the other gundam pilots. Trowa doesn't even remember piloting a gundam himself!
This is extremely late in the series, and if you didn't watch it from the beggining, it doesn't make any sense as the story jumps to one character to the other rapidly.

The first episode (Sanc Kingdom's Collapse) is, in my opinion, the coolest episode out of the entire series (but then, I'm a serious Epyon fan). I watch that episode several times in a row every now and then, because the ending just plain ROCKS!! The Zero vs Epyon duel in the next episode is pretty rockin, too. There is also a lot of great stuff in the rest of the disk, plot-wise. All in all, this is one disk that needs to be in every Gundam Wing collection.

The eighth collection of Gundam Wing episodes are here and now things are really starting to heat up. With only a few epsiodes left, the story kicks into overdrive with the fall of the Sanc Kingdom, the continuation of Zechs' and Heero's earlier duals (in Epyon and Wing Zero no less), and Trowa's getting over his amnesia.

Also of note is the nice artwork on the case with a white Taurus and Noin, Dorothy, Relena, and Zechs on the cover...very nicely done and more appealing than the previous artwork for the first 7 DVD's. As witnessed in Operation 7, the menus have changed with the Rythym Emotion opening music playing in the background, but the actual opening music is still Just Communication. We have to wait until Operation 9 for the Rythym Emotion opening. For some reason, the audio seems cleaner than the first 7 DVD's...no complaints. Gundam Wing is turning out to be a worthy anime.

In this DVD, Heero finally gets the Wing Zero. The opening is also changed to the second opening. The title menu is also different from the first 6 operations. The video quality is good and so is the stereo. The episodes on this DVD are also full of action.

Thank you It is a much loved video from time gone by. Your prompt service is the bomb!!! We would purchase from you again...

There's nothing more to say... if you've made it this far in the the GundamW series... then i don't see why you don't already have this DVD. Heck can't they get that 10th one out fast enough?! SEPTEMBER?!?! (beep)!!!
