Mechs as a whole would be a compliment, especially if they can fly to both be front line and support assets to ground armored units and ariel units, so no I agree mechs would work great with tanks and planes.
I'm 100% sure that if there are space colonies that existed IRL, the prejudice would be the other way around. The people living in space would be the one to look down to people stuck on earth 🤣
That is the case in the FC timeline, where all the elites went to space and took all the resources with them, leaving earth as an almost desolate wasteland
15:23 Small correction; Sydney is not the Australian capital city. Canberra is the Australian capital city. Sydney is the state capital city of New South Wales.
@@true_neutral3378 During the federation of AU, the two biggest states, NSW and Victoria couldnt agree who should be the capital. Canberra was built between the two as a result. Its a tiny city in the middle of bumf**k nowhere with nothing to do. The two most common weekend plans for residents of Canberra are to go to Sydney, or melbourne.
I always felt sorry for Dozle. All the man wanted was to protect his family and his siblings took advantage of his love to manipulate him into thinking horrific acts were needed to win the war. The poor dude has a panic attack after Operation British because he recognizes the human cost and how evil his siblings really are.
I'd argue that both Garma and Dolze were good, with Degwin and Kycilia being more neutral, Sasro being evil, and Gihren being super evil. Kycilia and Degwin didn't have the desire to genocide people or kill without reason. They would be satisfied so long as they remained in power. Sasro gave off the impression that he enjoyed harming others, while Gihren's ideology was just that of Hitler's. Imo, Gihren's cruelty is what doomed his family. As peace would have been forged during the initial skirmish had Degwin had his way.
It as an astoundingly powerful opening for the OG Gundam 0079 to open on narration explaining, as you said, that *half of the entire human race had died* over the course of a year-long war, and so now let's get to our story. As friends pointed out to me, people who worked on that show very much could have been alive during and had memories of World War 2, and assuredly its aftermath. They knew apocalyptic wars better than most of us now possibly could, and may that remain so.
I’m pretty sure everyone in Australia survived. It’s Australia in all fairness. An Aussie would just shrug it and walk off like a champ in a kangaroo boxing match.
Always loved the one year war during the UC. Probably the most interesting series of events in all of Gundam, and we’ve seen less than half the events on-screen.
While giant robots are great, it is the lore and the grace with which the conflicts are generally rendered that inspires people to keep coming back to the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise again and again...well, that is, until The Witch from Mercury. For fans of that series, Shipping is sufficient. Everything else is a detriment.
The only decent thing we got from that show was the prologue... I wasn't hyped but at least that made thr series look promising, but, well you all know how it went
The reason why mobile suits were used by Zeon is because they were, at first, a waste. They were originally intended to be mere construction units like the RB-79 Ball before being used for military applications. When Zeon revealed their combat mobile suits, the federation saw it as a joke and made fun of it like "it can babysit without squishing a baby" "it can solve a Rubics cube even with its giant fingers" and other sarcastic insults you can think of. And it was intentional, Zeon needed to be seen by the Federation and perceived as an incompetent wannabe military force full of idiots to camouflage their strengthening military. My only gripe is the fact that they use legs. IN SPACE. The zaku would have been just as good with its legs replaced by rocket boosters and loads of RCS thrusters. I mean look at the S Gundam Booster Unit Type and the Deep Striker from Gundam Sentinel. They are mobile suits with rocket boosters for legs. And they were created 8 years after the one year war
I always interpreted the legs being for in-colony work. Like these things are basically one man gunboats or even corvettes with their size and firepower, and with legs they can be deployed inside of colonies to terrorize the population into submission
The legs are for AMBAC, active mass balance auto control, AMBAC allows for the mobile suit to shift its mass in space allowing for zero thrust maneuverability which not only allows for the mobile suit to use less fuel it also allows for more erratic maneuvers.
I had only ever watched gundam wing and such. I just started watching the original gundam. So this is super interesting and explains the back story for me
Once ZEON lost the OYW, ZEON became a bunch of splinter groups. ZEON could have had independence if Char didn’t kill the Zabi family but I don’t blame Char because I would have done the exact same thing.
Also the Zabis are a bunch of Assholes TBH, with a few exceptions in the Autocratic family most of them would have been really bad at ruling it anyways, it wasn't like the Zabis were just revolutionaries they were really far from it.
I have a question regarding the civilian losses. What event caused Zeon to lose half of their population? Was there some big counterattack that we don't know about? Edit: I looked it up. It's just a translation error.
I’m a huge gundam fan and have been since a boy and I still have trouble connecting the dots so thank you for this video! I’ve seen a lot of gundam. I didn’t know that Cima was responsible for the gas attacks and also lied to about it, no wonder she was so crazy lol Didn’t know shiro witnessed this stuff either, Explains a lot of holes so thank you!
Love the vid. Drones in Ukraine are a prime example of the same phenomenon with Mobile Suites. In war games, the USA #1 real life weakness is this exact scenario (lower cost technological advance to counter expensive ships/tanks)
Zeon was formed in 0058, not 53, and the national guard was formed immediately after its formation (albeit, likely still as a Earth Federation precaution), not in response to the Bardo Policy which was in 0059 (at least, according to some timelines).
you know what, im thinking Cima Garahau might have had a hand in freeing general reviel after he was captured. like maybe she and some of her squad got him out of captivty for what she had to do
27:00 “Just 60mm guns” the 30mm gay on the avenger creates enough force to slow the warthog at full power. The Russians developed a (slightly) larger gun and put in in a jet, firing the gun cause massive damage to the aircraft. A 60mm gun on most ships ina med/high calibre weapon firing single shots from a loading system, something being 60mm and belt fed is utterly terrifying. Each round (without the propellant) would be comparable to the size of a thermos flats or large bottle of pop. When they developed they series i guess mart rounds were not a thing, but imagine a 60mm Vulcan that could to 70 rounds a second and each round could do it’s own thing!
Well, outside of wanting to use those colonies to drop onto Earth, their problem was with the Federation, not the Earth itself. There's a high probability that the ones they picked were specifically allies with the Federation. This can be assumed since Ensign Shiro Amada was fighting for one of these three colonies.
16:04 I'd also call that a major strategic failure. Not only did they fail to destroy the enemy's main command center and forces on Earth as planned, the colony drop was such a massive and blatant atrocity that Zeon should expect it to be near impossible to find any recruits or allies from then on.
and if its less than 10 meters tall its not a real giant robot! Giant robots have to be Giant! the average Armored Core size (10 to 12 meters) is around the minimum.
There is a Novelization written by the original director himself but it's quite different from the established canon by the original anime and similar side stories.
To be fair mobile suits work because minovosky particles nullify any long range guided firepower central to modern combat doctrine although I also think the franchise doesn't acknowledge that unguided artillery would still be a major player for each mobile suit battles but isn't really brought up. Also the fact that those engines can propel a multi ton machine with rubbish aerodynamics to maneuver in atmosphere with the speed they have is insane. You would think they would armor their battleships better with how much energy those minosvky engines put out lol
19:42 it’s a mecha of course mecha are gonna be op. in reality mecha will be just big targets or transport vehicles for terrain where wheels or track can’t pass.
I think Titanfall and Battle tech do mechs better (as long as you remove ground pressure) In that regard. In titanfall they're essentially walking weapon platforms that aren't massive, and are more used as shock troops/elites then standardized infantry. In BattleTech Mechs are a part of combined arms warfare, with tanks and aircraft especially being incredibly important. Infantry call in Battle Mech or aerospace fighters like how infantry requested armor or air support in real life.
i have not watched all the series that compose the one year war yet, could someone please tell me where all this lore comes from? I've watched the original anime, the 8th ms anime, war in the pocket, ms igloo 1 & 2. and origin.what am i missing? i dont remember any regretful or traumatized zeon soldiers.
@@drumline1321 I freaking love thunderbolt. Here's my question, I know it is in the one year war, but is it the main UC timeline? Or an AU ? I'm still confused.
19:32 preach. fucking PREACH. i want my real life Zaku. I WANT if it was possible to have shit like gundam IRL the Military can HAVE me i dont give a FUCK
So is The Origin not the main cannon? Or was it just an interpretation? Cuz I’m watching this and thinking: “he didn’t mention the Dawn Rebellion in 0078” and “I don’t remember a lady releasing toxic gas in island iffish in Origin…”
Even the shittiest Zion mobile suits are made to withstand jdam levels of punishments. Your drone argument is null. And the very first iteration of the gundam is that durable but times ten
@@paulcatindig2260 So you are saying that the defense technologies in UC 0079 are centuries ahead of what we have now, but for offence they use the equivalent of JDAM (which was developed at the end of the last century and is not crazy modern even for modern standards)? Hmmm, sounds logical... Ok let's play this game and pretend that the scientists in the Gundam universe are idiots and forgot to upgrade weapons for several centuries. In that case why not send thousands of dirt cheap drones not against mechs, but against logistic points, factories, command centers etc. and leave the indestructible mechs without any supply?
@ you know a jdam is VERY destructive. Several city blocks, gone just like that. And I mentioned, the WEAKEST Zion suits You wanna know why tanks are becoming outdated now? Because tanks are HELLA SLOW. You what’s not slow AND ARMORED? A mobile suit. Zions suits can go supersonic to hypersonic speeds in atmosphere and are rarely standing still. Notice how I’m not even talking about any of their advanced suits? Yea these suits go that fast in combat and you expect the equivalent of an fpv drone to make mobile suits obsolete?
@@paulcatindig2260 You are exaggerating. The largest JDAM carries about 1000 kg of explosives. This is enough to destroy a residential building (in case of direct hit), no more, no less. Ok tanks are slow. Why are fighter jets and helicopters also outdated in that case (if not used against guys in flipflops and pijamas of course). Are they slow too?
@ my guy a residential building can span multiple city blocks…. And yea… helicopters and jets are outdated because they ARE slower than the mobile suits… that’s why the federation was losing in the beginning prior to the introduction of the gundam. Zion had mass produced zaku suits and the feds had very little amounts of GM suits. They still relied on tanks, jets, helicopters
The only reason why mechs work in gundam is because it’s a sci-fi universe with sci-fi technology. And also, you could just fit all that technology into tanks and fighter jets and they would immediately be better than mechs lol. The only way mechs can for-sure be practical is in a non-combat or logistical support roles.
Brother in real life a mobile suits wouldn't work, Gravity (physics) and of course the fuel consumption. Not to mention the enormous amount of metal needed. You're taking the anime too literal for reality.
Mobile suits WOULD be a waste in real life. Because in real life, ships would shoot at each other from so far out of visual range its not even funny. Minovsky particles aren't real, and without them the whole concept falls apart, at least in space combat. Now, if you could make a mech that performs that well in terrestrial environments it'd definitely be better than tanks, but it's very likely that a more practical design would be less humanoid in shape.
Not only that but inventing mobile suits doesn't automatically make tanks and the like obsolete. In real life a mobile suit would be considered a form of shock infantry.
AND even if we had all that sci-fi stuff, the power plants, the energy shields and weapons, why not just fit them on tanks to make them even more practical than mechs?
@@smileyface6583to be fair, tanks won't stay the same way we know them now and will rapidly evolve as well. Maybe in the end something that can incorporate all that high tech will be an unholy, but highly optimised mixture of both mechs and tanks.

There actually is some of that in Gundam. That'll come up when we talk more about Zeon and Gihren Zabi!
That is the case in the FC timeline, where all the elites went to space and took all the resources with them, leaving earth as an almost desolate wasteland
Witch of Mercury has the mega corps living in space with them using earth as their personal testing grounds for their new weapons.
That’s basically how it is in Witch From Mercury.

They attacked another colony so they could drop it on earth. It was devastating.

Retcons? In Unicorn? Geez i always thought that series was Overrated but i didn't thought there was also that.
Best recap I've ever seen. Bravo.
Thanks for sharing, now I can't wait to watch all the series...

Such a great watch. Thanks for the detailed summary!
Great video. Also at 24:49 where did you get the footage of the zaku in front of the White House ?
very informative video which Gundam series should we watch?
This is why, WE DIG GIANT ROBOTS.
and if its less than 10 meters tall its not a real giant robot! Giant robots have to be Giant! the average Armored Core size (10 to 12 meters) is around the minimum.
CHICKS DIG GIANT ROBOTS
The Sturmfaust that Zach 2 can use is definitely inspired by the German panzerfaust in ww2
I wonder what role the assassinated Zabi would have played had he not got killed by Kycillia
19:51 that got aggressive fast. I was going to start with modern close range combat relative to the modern a10
What about the backstory of MS Gundam The Origin, the background of the War is illustrated there pretty well.
Also, has there ever been a book adaptation of all this?
There is a Novelization written by the original director himself but it's quite different from the established canon by the original anime and similar side stories.
The real hero of the One Year War was the idiot who forgot to turn off and lock the RX-78 2
Gotta love that in real life a 18 meter mech would be such an easy target that it would emidiatly put the favor back into the federations side😂
Talk about War Crimes and Genocide!
one of the Greatests anime ever written
None of this would have happened if char hadn't been robbed of his birthright.
Johnny ridden being mistaken as another zeon ace isn't all that uncommon
though Johnny being mistaken as Ramba Ral is definitely a new one.
What series are those Original 0079 scenes from? They look so good!
sooo i have a question
wich Mobile Suit Gundam should i watch ? there seems to be a lot x)
Is it necessary to watch all of the 79 Gundam or is the movie trilogy a better investment?
オリジナルテレビシリーズから見ても面白いと思いますが、長い時間が掛かります。
映画の３部作は、それなりに上手く編集されているので内容が理解出来ないということはありません。
先ずは、オリジナル映画三部作から観るのが良いと思います。
それが気に入ったら、OVAシリーズの「ポケットの中の戦争」を観ると良いでしょう。
その次に「MS０８小隊」を観ることをお勧めします。

19:35 PREACH BROTHER PREACH, im so sick of people telling me mechs will never work in real life tanks are way better
The only reason why mechs work in gundam is because it’s a sci-fi universe with sci-fi technology. And also, you could just fit all that technology into tanks and fighter jets and they would immediately be better than mechs lol. The only way mechs can for-sure be practical is in a non-combat or logistical support roles.

Too bad SLG genre is basically dead and brings Gihren's Greed with it
ZEON WERE THE GOOD GUYS
Brother in real life a mobile suits wouldn't work, Gravity (physics) and of course the fuel consumption. Not to mention the enormous amount of metal needed. You're taking the anime too literal for reality.
geez can you sound any more like a 12 year old that wrote an essay for the first time? it was so packed with edge it was barely watchable
You must be fun at parties.
Mobile suits WOULD be a waste in real life. Because in real life, ships would shoot at each other from so far out of visual range its not even funny. Minovsky particles aren't real, and without them the whole concept falls apart, at least in space combat.
Now, if you could make a mech that performs that well in terrestrial environments it'd definitely be better than tanks, but it's very likely that a more practical design would be less humanoid in shape.
So if we just invent or discover Minovsky particles, we can have practical Gundams?
So you're saying there's a chance?
Not only that but inventing mobile suits doesn't automatically make tanks and the like obsolete. In real life a mobile suit would be considered a form of shock infantry.
AND even if we had all that sci-fi stuff, the power plants, the energy shields and weapons, why not just fit them on tanks to make them even more practical than mechs?

@@smileyface6583to be fair, tanks won't stay the same way we know them now and will rapidly evolve as well. Maybe in the end something that can incorporate all that high tech will be an unholy, but highly optimised mixture of both mechs and tanks.
The Japanese have some of the world's best storytelling and this is up there in my personal ranking.
I’m 99.9% sure that the origin is cannon
Zeon did nothing wrong, change my mind.

Didn't Zeon use poisonous gas on a colony and use crippled veterans as test subjects?
