Both their masks serve different purposes.

@@Kira22558 Yeah, true, you've got a point. When I wrote this comment I mostly just meant on a visual storytelling level though. I was imagining that something similar could have worked towards the end of OG Gundam during the Amuro vs. Char sword fight or something like that

You must be real fun at parties.

@@deenice8062 I just hate click bait like this. I actually liked seeing Zeches salute and send Tallgeese off like a close friend and wanted to see it but then we get this.

Tallgeese was never in an extended fight like the Gundams and unlike the Wing Gundam, the Tallgeese's Dobergun didn't use cartridges

Not to be annoying but the tallgeese isn't a Gundam. It's a Mobile Suit. Gundams are Mobile suits too but a different a variety. What is and isn't a Gundam can vary wildly from series to series. The Silver Bullets and Murasames aren't despite having the Gundam head crest. Not to say the talgeese isn't special, it absolutely is. It's the first Mobile Suit ever created in the After Colony timeline. Also you observation about its thrust is very much accurate. When Zechs first tried piloting it it actually physically injured him due how fast it moved and how much strain that put on his body.

All of these mobile suits are from OZ. OZ is shorthand for Organization of OZ

He got it at one of those pop up Halloween stores and it was currently out of season

Only one chance

It was more about feeling en-mask-ulated.

I don't think he honestly wanted to be Treize's friend anymore. After all, the only reason Zechs joined the Romafeller Foundation was to get inside and destroy it for the destruction it caused to his family and the Sanc kingdom .

he does! That's a beef I have with the show. They should have kept the mask off, later in the show he is wearing it again.

I don't remember the name but it's definitely not unreleased. It later plays in the final episode when Heero shoots down Libra

Enforced breakthrough

You have to remember due to how life threatening it was just to pilot, they had to make the gundams weaker in the first place. Zech is probably the only non gundam pilot that could survive piloting that prototype to the gundams.

@@anonyorb4197 Agreed!!! Even for the pilots themselves. They are tough but to young physically to maintain that much punishment.

@@anonyorb4197 Hold on. Weren't the Gundams nerfed versions of Wing Zero? Because Wing Zero is a literal weapon of mass destruction with its beam rifle capable of destroying an entire colony, the Gundams 01-05 are nerfed but still strong Mobile Suits of the original Wing Zero design for the sake of Civilian safety. Tall Geese was a prototype from the Wing Zero design, but based on a Leo, and it's more accurate to say that it's a predecessor to Gundams 01-05. The Gundams are in no way "weaker" than the Tall Geese, just perfected versions in a sense because they are safer to use for the pilot since they are the final product and the Tall Geese was a Prototype which of course would have bugs in it. Despite being more dangerous to use due to its nature as a prototype, the Tall Geese is still descended from the design of the engineers involved in the creation of the Gundams, so it's still able to compete with the Gundams in terms of combat potential. Zech is just an impressive pilot because he was able to overcome the dangers of the Tall Geese so he can have a suit that can compete with the Gundams combat-wise.

@@darkglass3011 cool and interesting comment!

I remember reading years ago that the 5 gundams were all based on Wing Zero, in a way. Wing Gundam had the similar look, plus the buster rifle. Deathscythe had its speed. Heavyarms had its destructive capabilities. Sandrock had its armored capability. Shenlong had its fighting abilities. Probably all of which the 5 engineers put into the Wing Zero, but never built it since they knew the suit was too dangerous. They must have built the earliest version of the zero system and tested it, but knew that it was also too dangerous. That's just my opinion. Then again, it was probably explained in the show, and I most likely missed it.

Well to be honest he is basically char clone who is 2rd protagonist in UC

@@jotaroisbestboy7593 I think descendent is more accurate.

@@The_Platinum_Realist well yeah

@@The_Platinum_Realist maybe char manage to send his will across time and space

And then the Virgos happened

Well, the Tallgeese was significantly more powerful than these Aries and Cancers, it was what the Gundam were based on. I'm also pretty sure if Tallgeese was made from Gundanium, it could likely directly compete with the Wing Gundam.

This gets said a lot and maybe it became true but Heero fails his first few missions against Leos and Ares units. He remained cocky for most of the series.

Nah I'd say Heero is the better Pilot by a good margin. Zero and Epyon's final clash proves that. Epyon was built specifically for close combat while Zero was more well rounded and if anything a distance suit due to its main weapon being the Buster Riffle but he still beat Zeches. Their training would have obviously been different too, Zeches was just the top student at an actual military academy while Heero was given direct one on one training that was most likely far more difficult then anything you'd get at a school

​@digitaladventurer2142 it's also said by Mr badass himself you must not be a winner when you pilot eypon so zech was the loser by default and is probably why herro had issues piloting eypon.

Apparently there’s a manga set as a prequel to Endless Waltz, and there was an iteration of the Tallgeese that was used as a testbed for the Wing Zero’s angel wings. Probably not canon though, considering the Endless Waltz angel wings were retconned into the original anime’s story.

Glory of the Losers had the Tallgeese Flugel, which was a retcon of the Tallgeese being outfitted for Space Combat. In Glory of the Losers, Duo destroyed the Wing Gundam Proto Zero and defeated Zechs in the Tallgeese Flugel. Due to severe damage, Howard decided to use the Tallgeese Flugel's Wings, Data from the Wing Gundam, and the existing Wing Proto Zero frame to create the Wing Zero EW and later on added the Shield and Neon Bird mode back, along with additional equipment. The Tallgeese Flugel was outfitted with Anti Gundam Weapons but the upgrades on the Deathscythe Hell proved to be superior to it.

"Enforcement Breakthrough", I'd been searching the OST for it as well

The mask symbolizes his alter ego, Zechs Merquise, the name he used while working with Treize to bring down the Alliance from within. While a friend, Zechs was a tool in Treize' grander schemes for the world. The mask was his most outward symbol of that relationship. Zechs Merquise, Treize's masked right-hand man. But that wasn't him anymore. He'd couldn't be a part of Oz as he'd grown beyond that and his ideals had become incompatible with the Romefeller Foundation's. Because he'd crossed them, they sent this mobile suit force to kill him. And all of that meant that he'd grown beyond the friendship with Treize, as well. Earlier in the episode Treize tells him that if her were to "die" he'd be free and that's exactly what happens. The moment the mask breaks, Zechs Merquise is dead and all that's left is Millardo Peacecraft. He's no longer a soldier of Oz nor is he the man who was friends with Treize Khushrenada. Think of it like a cicada molting and discarding it's used husk.

Yeah and it was later heavily modified to the point where it was tactically comparable to Wing Zero. I loved the Tallgeese though, it completely shat on all those other mass produced mobile suits.

WaveForceful It truly makes the comment "Mother of them all" a badass one.

in the series it literally displayed the ability to keep up with all the gundams.

Wing zero, you mean the wing gundam with the zero system?. yes I agree, I meant the wing gundam. The Tallgeese sure showed that with the right pilot it could keep up with a gundam. The main limitations with the tallgeese was in it's armor merely being strengthened titanium.

Yeah, The Tallgeese did defeat heavyarms, although it wasn't a fair battle since heero was injured.

@Demby Abella 11 years? I have to comment on something that was pretty obvious from 11 years ago? Of course he beat him, but his heart wasn't really in that fight. It was a suicide mission, a fact backed up even in the manga

@Demby Abella Because the Zero system showed him that he was on the wrong side of the battle. Zechs was the best pilot period.

@Demby Abella And the Tall geese a modified expensive original design of a Leo due to cost restrictions. Even with the Tall geese the dude is kicking a Gundams ass. Lol

@@ChristovBelmont thanks for explaining that Zechs wanted to die! I was just wondering about zechs' motivations at the end of gundam wing. It seemed out of character for him to want to destroy earth at the end, but it makes more sense if he's just trying to get himself killed. That actually makes his line of "I'm going to live right until the bitter end" more significant - that's the point where he changes his mind about trying to die, and instead tries to help Heero destroy the ship.

ZERO System gave Zechs the tools and to method to achieve total Pacifisim. As the way "He" wanted. To become the "Fallen Hero"

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THIS

it's called friendship you homophobic

Nope. No machine guns and no gundamiam. It's just the tallest.

Always was

Id be a fool a Zeek supporter to disagree

@@vendediesel funnily enough in the novel the Tallgeese WAS armored with Gundanium

@@vendediesel wrong
