How GUNDAMS have Changed Japan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лис 2018
- To some Mobile Suit Gundam might just be another anime, but it's not. In Japan, Gundam is life for many avid fans but even beyond them, the Gundam mecha exosuits have had a profound on technology and society in Japan.

Today: We’re making Gundam model kits
200 years later: We’re killing each other with Gundams
300 years later : a colony of living-metal aliens invade the earth.
P.S. if you're referencing 00, it's actually 2307 A.D.
Guys let's be peaceful, Gunplas battle like build fighters lol
Or play some sort of game in vr where u pilot a gundam where u feel just like irl... imagine a mmo game like that where u fight in like the 1 year war...
@Niño the anime fan mankind is addicted to war, so it will happen.
Japan is making a Gundam just wanted you to know
Who here would want to pilot a gundam if given the chance?
I would.
ME
Me, but I'm already a gundam =w=
I would drive a mobliearmor
It is safer
I want to be in a GM modifed GUNDAM

Thanks for making the vid, Gundam sometimes doesn't get the love it deserves! :D
The entire content of this video begs to differ.
Minovsky Man See middle schools and talk to weebs/Otaku, and ask them "You watch Gundam?" your probably hear 000.000.01% chance to hear "yes", and if you do hear a middle school students kid says yes = a hella big blessing, and if they do know it, they probably watch IBO IF they didn't watch over 1 show, Jesus wtf and they know Aot and mainstream
I agree here.
Yataginsu Redznya wut
5 years ago the entire western anime industry and fanbase laughed at gundam, called it too obscure, and was willing to to let it fade into obscurity. I laugh at those people as gundam is as big as it has ever been in the west. its mostly because the western community has ZERO knowledge of anime history that exist pre-toonami.hell you mention space battleship yamato, the show that allowed gundam to be created in the first place, and people stare at you blankly.
They're making a movable gundam for the 40th anniversary btw

@@duelassault im so sorry mobile master race! I will now commit suicide for using the "raw word".
Actually the first mecha in Gundam universe (the UC timeline) were designed to operate and fight in space and low gravity, which makes them far more believable (as some ppl usuallly cite square-cube law as a reason Gundam can't be built)
I've been wondering about that law. People site it but doesn't the material the Gundam is made matter just as much? I feel like the use of that law and other things it's just a way for people to hate on the idea cause it doesn't fit their world view on future tech. I mean a lot of rules says an airplane made of solid lead can't fly and we just used that as the example then human flight isn't possible or we can make the plane from wood or aluminum instead.
yeah, the square cube law i think gets misused. the real point of using it is that you need to take into account how much something will weigh. material weight is kinda everything but lets say instead of trying to build a mech thats 8 meters talls, lets focus on making one thats under 15 feet and using a high horse-power diesel engine, something in the 800-1200 HP ranges. make the frame out of titanium or tungsten if thats reasonable and then use a combo of depleted uranium and silicon carbinde for the armor with a thickness of about 5-6 inches and i'm willing to bet the total weight will come under 15 tons. anyone who knows about military vehicles will know that thats actually really light for a fighting vehicle. i think the striker series weighs about 18-20 tons. also in terms of weapons, we've already got two of them that'll do the job and kill pretty much anything as long as it can hit it, and those would be the hellfire missile and the 30mm autocannon familes. any mech armed with those will be extremely dangerous. now the real choice to make is, can you make a legged combat robot that has superior agility to a wheeled vehicle. the trade off in simplicity is, in theory, higher quality. frankly i'd lean towards quality in this case. the other real choice is, do you want the operator to be inside the machine or remote-manning it from another location, which btw both of those are perfectly reasonable for different factors but thats an even longer tangent. sure, there's probably a lotta holes to poke so have at it, peace out. EDIT when i mention staying under 8 meters, i mean lets stay under 15, feet had to put that in there.
And dont forget they would also need to discover Gundanium
If real life Gundams were made, they would likely be much shorter than anything in the series. Not necessarily the square cube law that would hold it back, so much as general cost, weight, and unnecessary size. Mobile Suits are still very fictional, as is their world, so giant hangers and warships can easily be conjured up for the series.
@@stevenharper9108 not to mention that they have the technology to build a powerful and compact fusion reactor
The mechs will rise. And when they do, everything will change.
Eh needs the discovery of minovsky particles.
Tell that to Gundam X, Wing and SEED.
@@SwiftGundam IBO and 00 want in too. Leopard destroy vs heavyarms custom is a fight that I wanna see.
00 and IBO do use an exotic particle like the M-Particle.
@@SwiftGundam was legit going to add that part. Both of their particles have a tech disrupting and anti gravity effects.
I find it funny that a year after my Gundam-phase, everyone has started getting into Gundam.
Nick The Undying you had a phase?
Same
lol gundams getting big lol
Noob
My Gundam phase was 16 years ago.
The 'Mobile Suit Gundam' manga by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko is really very good, with great complex story and beautiful art, like 'The Expanse', but with giant robots.
Thanks for the recommendation!
They have as many Gundam models per person as the America has guns per person . I am multicultural I have 10 guns and 10 Gundams . : )
You need them to merge. Working Gundam with a beam rifle.
Get those numbers up.
Elon Musk will be the one who will announce the existence of Celestial Being and the Gundams
does that mean he will put himself in cryosleep for approximately 200 years or so, and we're all dead by the time the announcement of Celestial Being? :
I am not sure about Celestial Being (as an organization) or the Gundams (as war machines); but he is *definitively* making V.E.D.A. [ just not in a single place in the Moon, but rather distributed around the entire Earth as "Starlink" ].
They already exist but they are call crystal childrens
The plan has already been set into motion. The tesla that was lunched into space is storing the real Mr musk.
What bout cat girls he promised
The Type 87 doesn't look to be inspired by the GunTank to me at all. It looks no different than other self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that other countries outside of Japan have developed, namely the German Flakpanzer Gepard.
Aaayy got em
It was named by the soldiers GunTank, because it looks a very little bit like one, but inspired by the Marksman anti air system, Gepard Anti-air system.
Yeah. He really botched the relation on that one. It only shares a nickname. Such is the kind of misconceptions you hear though when civilians try to talk about the military.
Riceball01 It’s likely always been the opposite. Guntank was clearly inspired by SPAA.
@@surprisedchar2458 Guntank is older than the Type 87 SPAA, although it is a bit younger than the Flakpanzer Gepard. Hint: the Type Number is the year the vehicle was introduced into service. Guntank is also an artillery MS, so it doesn't even fill the same role. More likely, Guntank was inspired by single-barrel Self-Propelled Guns. Adding a second gun is not a farfetched idea. Every 5 year old can come up with the solution of adding more guns to get more firepower.
Cheaper than a Death star at least.
not so sure, gundam franchise equivalent stations do cost a lot: the cheapest being the "solar system" that the Titans used... the costliest would probably be the Libra from gundam wing - one that is almost equivalent in destructive power to the first death star
@@revanshan3308 I think hes talking about mobile suits though.
@@Bahamut8937 that is like comparing an x-wing to a colony laser
@@revanshan3308 Or better of a peacemillion to a leo
@@revanshan3308 There is this wonderful thing called context that just flew past you when you read the previous comments. But since you are all just morons I will spell it out for you. Basically during the Obama years some idiot online thought it would be a good idea to propose that the US build a Death star. Obviously the government shut down the idea immediately because it was too expensive and resource intensive. But even then it got enough signatures to be seriously considered even when it was basically a dumb idea that couldn't be done. And now Japan is going farther along with Gundams than the US with the Death Star. So yeah a Gundam is cheaper than a Death Star.

Gundam Wing depicted drone warfare with the autonomous Mobile Doll system. this was back in 1995 so that was kinda ahead of its time???
a-laws had those anti human drones as well
Kinda cool really
To be fair, drones aren't fully autonomous. They have autopilot functions, but all the killing is done by people.
@@BlackEpyon Just like Dorothy and Zechs combined the Zero System with the Mobile Dolls xD
@@joaquinescoto7108 Yes, but they don't count. I'm referring to the Mobile Doll's automatic functions. You just tell them who to kill, and they don't give a shit who gets in their way.
Drone pilots have much higher incidences of PTSD, which seems to be the opposite case with Romefeller's usage of Mobile Dolls, whose intent wasn't to keep their pilots safe, but to replace them with a cold blooded killing machine.
Gundam is my personal favorite franchise from Japan. Thanks for the mention generation tech! 😃

"..Japan hasn't been spending their time building gundams..." OR AREN'T THEY??
That's what I said when I watched this.
They gonna release it at Tokyo Olympics
I can't help but think that's a subtle nod to the plot of the first episode.
If Japan sucessfully makes a mech suit that functions and moves quick enough or like a Knightmare frame like Code Geass... The world will have such a huge arms race, that the Cold war will look like a child's game
A first mech will probably be more comparable to the early MS as seen in Gundam Origins. However the reality is that any tech like that would make a fighter plane or tank better than any mech could be.
@@rng_lord1276 the thing in though is in both Code Geass and Gundam. AFV'S and tanks plus fighters still have there roles and uses. They just have to be used more carefully.
In code geass, there were Also civilian knightmares such as the ganymede or the mr1, such mechs could be bought as sportish utility Cars such as the Chevy el camino or the Ford ranchero
@@rng_lord1276 sorry, but even some of the slower mobile suits have enough mobility to to surpass any turret's rotation speed, and if confronted by any conventional tank could circle it or just walk over it in two steps, so yeah that would not work well for the tank.
fighter jets could work, but most of their weaponry wouldn't be so effective and I (not an expert mind you) dont think they could carry enough eavy stuff to be effective
They could start with Arm Slaves from _Full Metal Panic_ , since they're much smaller and more realistic.

Gundam is basically Japan's Star wars extended universe.
You didn't even mention they're gonna make a walking Gundam in 2020!
4:40 looking back now a year later, Japan has finished building their own gundam. The only good thing to come out of 2020.
They also announced that Gundam Dev Project is supposed to show results by 2020, showcasing the RX-78-2 with more movement capabilities after they replaced it with the Unicorn last year...
I think it is possible that one day mechanized exoskeletal suits could be utilized in future coflicts, but we are just not there... yet. Plus, there would to have to need for why such machines to exist. If you look at the recent Gundam: The Origin OVA, you can see that mobile suits were developed from lunar mining machines designed to combat the Earth Federation's doctrine of long range artillery bombardment. It reminds me very much like how Imperial Japan developed carriers and naval aviation to combat America's surface fleet doctrine before and at the very beginning of the Second World War.
Apparently the Gundam is gonna be up and walking 2020
The RX-78 statue was taken down earlier this year and was replaced by a Unicorn Gundam statue. They claim it's to update the display, but who's to say it's not because the government wants to use an existing gundam frame to develop a real gundam. The statues already move, after all.
Those gundam cockpit simulator arcade games have been a thing for years. Not as popular as you'd believe. Maybe it's the price, but for 300 yen you can actually play for a long time. I thought I try it once and wished it were over as I had to go and didn't really have time to play through all the stages.
You were kinda right
I noticed the Gundam Wing footage used came from one of my AMV's (other channel) lol, nice, I wondered why it had a familiar contrast and edit, nice!
You has your crédits? Ask for them, it was your time and effort.
The Unicorn Gundam transforms also. It goes into unicorn mode and then at a certain time plays the Unicorn theme with Banagher Links saying “Banagher Links... Here I go!” And when the chorus starts it does the transformation.
For a person that has loved gundam for 18 my life i thought i was going to learn nothing but u surprised me.
No human made of flesh can withstand the acceleration created by the movement of a Gundam.
Nu Gundam Wa Date Janai!

Japan just built a life sized moving Gundam
Ohhh just you wait till 2020
Gundam gunpla from bandai made it more popular. I collect and assemble gundam first prior discovering the anime itself.
I would imagine that if we had the capability to build an anime-grade Gundam, with its quasar weaponry, we would be living in a post-scarcity society.
Legend says: Gundam would take over the world three times faster
It was char the whole time
And now japan has a moving Gundam
3:13 ok we need him in America make more mobile suits
IMHO a Mobile Suit is kinda hard to reach, if someday we make a humanoid walking weapons, that would look like Front Mission's wanzers, a humanoid walking tank, or maybe a Metal Gear Rex for a highly specialized mission
the US has been working on an EXO suit for quite some time
My Gundam-phase is still going since Wing first aired on Toonami
Nah they won’t develop a gundam in 200 years and right now we should be focusing on space and nuclear fusion power.
Mobile suits even make sense. You get all the capabilities of an infantryman wearing powered armor, his ability to maneuver in the air or under water or in space without wasting fuel just as astronauts are trained to do (and can enhance it with bursts from strategically placed engines), you are large and armored enough that anything short of very large weapons are harmless to you and those weapons track very slowly and so are easily to dodge or in the case of missiles you can shoot them down or jam them, and for anything else you carry a large, thick shield. Mobile suits also carry a ton of anti-infantry weapons in the skirt and ankles though these are almost never part of the series because it's about giant robots butchering each other, but it's there and no less devastating and useful for tactical flexibility.
It's a pretty darn good weapon system and with its jumpjets you can lock down a city with just a few of them provided you don't care about enemy civilian casualties. Which you shouldn't because otherwise your enemies will just keep using them as meatshields to kill your men from behind. The sheer amount of enemy armor, artillery, etc. it can kill relative to its own expense as well as its advanced sensors and CIWS renders basically other military combat machine obsolete. That is to say, those that aren't used for transportation or logistics.
And if that wasn't enough, hydraulics to absorb weight and force are pretty cheap. It's just some tubes filled with something. The servos are also dirt cheap as they're basically just magnetic discs that use electrical fields to move. The whole mech is extremely cost-effective and very easy to put together and maintain. Really, the only expensive part is the controls which seem to watch your brain activity to understand the details on the general commands the physical controls are used for.
And for those who think an MS would sink into the ground under its weight, no. The ground is not made of water. Dirt, sand, etc., have extremely low maximum compression levels so your mech will be totally fine. Unless there's an empty aquafer or pocket under your feet, then it's poof sinkhole sucks to be you.
I wonder if anyone hasn't caught onto another connection between any mecha genre:
They are just suits of medieval armor, just powered and really big. Modern day knights and samurai, if you will. Code Geass is a good example of this, Gundam certainly is. One could even make an argument for BattleTech and even Robotech. It's all about rival nations/houses having the best armor for their 'knights'.
Huh should i tell him about bandai’s current project to start making the 1:1 RX-78-2 walk and move by 2020 or should i just keep quite
Too many people forget that Mobile Suits from the Gundam Franchise were intended to be space craft. And AMBAC (Active Mass Balance Auto-Control) is based in real physics. It is akin to how a human performs flips and spins. Think high divers, dancers, extreme sports flips and tricks, even astronauts in space, or people enjoying a Zero-G simulation flight.
This movement style allows them to use electricity for rotation and such in space for inertial flight. It also combines with thruster in combat to provide reduced propellant consumption.
Now while drones and the like might take over combat. Mobile Suit style craft are likely to be made for construction, mining, and the like. Especially when we inevitably move into space.
Interesting that you'd mention drone warfare, since in multiple Gundam series they also use drones to fight (to some extend).
Some Gundam series have a human-piloted mobile suit use small gundrones or sorts called "bits", while other series have entire mobile suits or even bigger machines either remote or even AI controlled.
the Gundam Aerial from Witch from Mercury heavily uses drones to fight iirc
Excellent presentation on a hobby that has taken over my life!
6:43 I support the liveries of those Mass Production Zeta Gundams.
I'm actually building a Zeta kit as i watch this video. (HGUC Revive Version)
I'm just gonna say it right here. I think almost all of us will agree that Wing was the best season with 00 and the original 0079 (1979-1980).
cant really say 0079 has aged well
no
Nah every real fan know Zeta Gundam is the greatest show of the Gundam franchise
@@chartheredcometaznable2345 I agree. Wing gundam got me into it back in the days. But zeta gundam became my favorite. It's a shame that ZZ gundam took a different turn after zeta.
Gundam wing was not the first gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam was the first gundam series by Tomino
It's funny how drones are mentioned... as Gundam wing also explored that possibility with the Taurus suits.
it would actually be kind of interesting to transition from our modern military system into one more comparable to that of G Gundam
but as soon as some Zeig Zeon shit starts its all over lol
honestly if drones do take over someone will invent a pilot-able machine, probably not unlike a Gundam and the scene will be played out much like Heero battling Mobile Dolls from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.
IDK man, A huge robot like suit could be good for building things on Space
Does this mean that the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI is going to be a Gundam?
Gundam didn't just change Japan, Gundam changed me
Tries to count

“What you want me to do Orca”
I see Tekkadan and Gjallarhorn conflict a reality in future with lot of human debris
5:28 common misconception. This anti aircraft gun platform is based off the German Flakpanzer Gepard, in most respects they're nearly identical in design, minus the tank hull, and armament. The Gepard pre-dates the 1980s MSV versions of the Guntank, and not coincidentally, I wouldn't be surprised if the MSV versions of the Guntank were inspired by the Gepard, not the other way around. A lot of mecha and weapons used in gundam have real world inspiration, ie the weapons were designed with features from real world vehicles, and even infantry weapons. Like the Zeon Raketan Bazooka is literally a Panzershrek. The Standard Zeon Pistol/SMG are made to look semi like a Lugar and MP40. The Zaku I Sniper's rifle is a MG42, and the Geara Zulu's beam machine gun is an STG-44. Lets not forget the sturmfaust being a mecha size panzerfaust.
Before Gundam, Giant Robots are like Oversized Pacific-Rim-like Super Heroes.
Cool vid! Would be cool to see an analysis on the influence of the Starship Troopers novel in Japan, too!
Also, glad I got to see the RX-78-2 in Tokyo while it was still around, though the replacement looks pretty BA
1tmildew gramps gunda, will come back thanks to the 40th anniversary which will allow it to move
I was hoping they would replace it with a zaku 2 or zeta gundam.
Since we'd just need powerful hydraulics to absorb shock (not provide movement) and powerful servos (to provide movement), both of which are quite cheap and very easily to build in large numbers very quickly, it is very possible to mass-produce mobile suits in the modern day. The problem, however, is that our energy production for the scale of the suit is too low for it to be worth a damn in combat. I'm not sure if the materials we use to transfer electricity would be able to transfer enough to the servos to matter anyway or if the servos would survive the amount of energy required to move sufficiently for combat. We *can* build the materials needed in incredibly tiny amounts, but they only last a fraction of a second before the molecular bonds fall apart again.
Ellon M7sk *hits blunt * fuck it let's build a gundam
Gundam may not be real at this moment, but it's getting there, one day at a time. Graphene materials, generative design, additive manufacturing, and compliant mechanisms; all of them could be implemented in tandem in a mobile weapon (not just a mobile suit).
Were you aware that Tomino himself has said the original idea for the mobile-suit was inspired by none other than the mobile-infantry suits in Robert Heinlein's "Star ship Troopers?"
A Toyota theme park! Are you serious? I love the Japanese.
Funny thing is, I think Gundam, in a way, got away from Tomino. The message in Gundam has always been 'war is bad' but everyone watching the show just loves the cool robots battling. This is apparently touched upon in the Gundam OVA series "War in the Pocket". Where children obsess over how 'cool' war is, when it's happening far away and then have to reconcile that when the war comes to them.
Everyone talking about Gundam tech but we forgot about the important thing, Space Colony, Mobile Suit originaly is Made to help human to build space Colony n they call it mobile worker, n space Colony is not some distant dream, some people *cough* Elon musk....already think to build space Colony coz is more cheaper n more saver than finding new planet for human...n if they really want to build space Colony then they need a robot to do construction job in space
The Japanese are building the RX-78-2. And why do you have the 00 Gundam and not the RX-78-2.
So untraditional of him.
And it's not even UC
I'm exciting to see a Real live walking Gundam in 2020 Olympics
This was an actual pretty decent video about gundams.
the one thing I would love to see become a reality.
Is magnetic coating.
Its used in Gundam as a way to accelerate metal parts inside a mobile suit allowing them to transform mid combat on the fly.
Moving parts way faster without pumping more energy into them. Because magnetic coating.
Just think about what it could do for modern technology
Soon gundam will exist in this world
2:11 ... Around $70,682,666,000
Don't think that a Gundam is either possible, let alone practical... Maybe something more like some of Masamune Shirows' designs such as the Fuchikoma from Ghost in the Shell would be more feasible.
And next year we will witness the GUndam makes its firs step
The future of warfare is drones? Hell, that's Mobile Dolls.
They are making a real life moving Gundam RX-78 2
Amusingly, America could of took Japan's idea of a gundam and turned it into a real thing with it's gross over spending on offensive "defensive" military spending years ago.
Cutting off video at 2:32 after learning host is from New Jersey.
Lmao
Its not gundam specific. Its moblie suits and you used gundam wing as the intro to gundams , as apossed to the original series
1:54 THE WHAT!!!
And once drones have replaced humans in war we'll have reached the point to where we'll become too fond of it. As it will no longer seem so terrible.
(Derived from General [Marce] Robert[s] Edward Lee's comment on war; that it is good that such a thing be so terrible. Lest we become too fond of it)
We only need kaiju, then we get the gundams!
Game 007 nah, we’d get Jaegers.
To get Gundams, we need to convince Elon Musk to build space colonies that will fight for their independence while having a fondness for weird names and sensors that look like one pink eye.
He’s already about halfway to the first bit, so the rest should be easy
@@jocax188723 that, or discover the minovsky particle that renders conventional warfare technology useless

Super lame the way you state he made no contribution to making the world a better place for building a Gundam. I consider that a monumental achievement and a great example to us all. Achieving your dreams and sharing can be a massive contribution to the world. Inspiring. While your point about drones is totally valid I believe once we become competent with Mobile Suits, Gundams will always be superior and only overpowered by particle weapons.
All I heard is if I had a Billion dollars I could build a working mobile suit
You said 'realistic but what about the highly unnecessary wings and decorative flare?
Gundam is only realistic in the sense that Mobile Suits are used by the military and general have 'reasonable' abilities.
Ah, ok, thanks for clearing that up
If you want a REAListic that much go see 0080 ms team i think it was the most real in a series
Understandable why there is such a fascination with giant mecha suits. As fiction they are marvelously expressive and convey both The Hero's Journey and technology very well. Robots are abstractions of people, as in they take over certain specialized tasks like vacuum cleaning or welding, so a mech-robot is immediately a vision of the holy grail of robotics and they fill the rule of cool. Too much charm not to become completely obsessed over.
"Man you build to last. if i ditch this armor and few unnecessary stuff. I can still fight!...........hmmm......Alright! LET'S GO PARNTER!" - me when i get to pilot Gundam/Moblie Suit
Man I love me some Gundam.
Me too
Btw, the unicorn statue can go between destroy mode and unicorn mode. You can find videos of it transforming on youtube
That's cool and all, but are they gonna rebuild the Yamato with space flight capabilities and mount an axial compressed tachyon cannon on its nose?
I'm surprised there was no mention of the Gundam project they've actually greenlit to build a Moving RX-78-2 gundam for the 2020 Olympics.
More mech exo-suit power armor myth please more
Correction, Gundam aired in 1978, not 79
how about Sydney build the model of fallen colony wreckage to get more tourists?
