I really like the POV here. Just imagine the war has been going on you have the advantage thanks to 60 ton mechs and as long as you have them that won't change. Then all of a sudden the enemy shows their own mech and it's faster, more powerful, using advanced weaponry and can shrug off anti-battleship weaponry. Absolutely terrifying Then again they are Zeon. They totally deserve it.
Federation definitely went for quality over quantity. When you enemies outnumber you 10 to 1, but your mechs are killing 10 of theirs for every 1 you lose, it all evens out in the end.

@@Specter5053 I don't think the "quality over quantity" is applied to the GM. Gundam is only half the reason they win the war, the other half is they able to produce huge amount of GM that pretty much overwhelm the Zaku.
This shows that the EFSF and EFGF deployed various gundam prototypes to various parts of the front and shows how badly things went for the Zeon once Gundams arrived
It's really nice to see a representation of just how much beam weaponry was a game changer in the one year war. That first shot tore right through a zaku and then through several buildings. It's probably why the pilot only shot once before switching to the sabers: he didn't want to destroy the entire facility he was trying to recapture.
We got a glimpse of it in Thunderbolt, but here it really shows how terrifying a Gundam is from the perspective of Zeon grunts. They're like giant Terminators.
@@TheWarmachine375 They are nowhere near as bad as most Gundam teen protagonists spending most of the season struggling with some moral dilemma of war. Fleming and Daryl both know why they are there and both won't hesitate to pull the trigger when facing the enemy in combat.
You think that’s bad enough for the sap facing down a Mobile Suit? There’s a manga called “The Battle Tales of Flanagan Boone” where, at one point, we see the world through the eyes of a Zeek, and the Gundam appears as a demonic beast, complete with a nightmarish face! Some Zakus also get this treatment as well, so that you can see what a Feddie thought of the enemy prior to the Gundam getting completed!
I know exactly which mission you are talking about, that mission can fall into a black hole and never come out, to those of you who read this comment, just play Zeonic Front and you'll understand our PTSD
@@TheWarmachine375 Yep, perfect depiction of shameless Zeon scum. I think much feddies would be glad to color their MSs into deep blue after seeing this.
What I found funny was that the Elite Red Wolves got clapped in under a few seconds. Meanwhile that one Zaku held Gundam EX so long that they managed to park that gas tanker behind the Zaku Tank.
yeah that was a little odd but EX still capped everyone with ease The key here is that EX introduced beam weapons on completely different scale than the Zeons It easily capped suits with one shot or cut in half via beam sabers
Confusion and Cockiness makes one hell of a combination to die miserably. I think the Zakus from the Salamander squad knew this and stood their ground enough to buy Solari some time.
@verdebusterAP it's later revealed that the pilot of the EX is some insanely intelligent cold calculating kid that's very good with games. The technological advantage of the Gundam over the zakus plays a very big factor too. Also the redwolfs never seen something like this before played a factor in their demise too.
@@HaggisMonster Come on now when is the gundam pilot not a kid As for the technological advantage That Zaku was dumping everything into the EX shield yet it withstood whereas one shot from the beam rifle and that was all she wrote for the Zaku Same with the beam saber Zeon had beam weapons but never anything that could be used on the surface they didnt get it that tech till after they captured a few GMs
I love how the EX here is being given the Godzilla treatment, not necessarily a force of nature but it sure as hell is a product of mankind. The shot here feels like how you would shot a Godzilla film.
It feels like how humanity saw the first Nuclear bomb, that Beam projectile just tears through buildings after it destroyed a Zaku they supposed to capture, then it only use its beam saber to not destroy everything else.
Reference to Daimajin. The mecha genre is a descendent of the kaiju genre. Daimajin was a giant statue that would become alive and destroy evil while weighting thousands of tons. Daimajin would then inspire the first piloted mecha in anime known as Mazinger Z, which inspired all other mecha shows that came after it. The body language used by the earlier mobile suits and Mazinger Z are all references to Daimajin's body language
Yeah one of my main issues with uc is how they seem obsessed with trying to make it seem like the one year war was even and morally gray. Yeah no one side had significantly more civilain bodybags.
It’s kinda hard to feel sorry for Zeon when the opening move is the gas a space colony and drop it on earth. Like I get the Federation is oppressive but you didn’t need to murder so many people for that.
Fun fact actually. If you look at some of the old numbers, Zeon and Spacenoids in general had MUCH higher civilian casualties. Most of humanity was living in the colonies by the outbreak of the One Year War.
@@fanusobscurus Fun fact theres literally only a couple lines that say that. Its also impossible since most of the colonies were actually either neutral or aligned with the federation. Zeon was really only side 3. Turns out gassing the residents of one and using to cause nuclear winter on the planet that makes mosty of your supplies and turning another into a debris field doesnt endear you to people.
@jtbush Depend on the side. If we see through those EF ground force before they had MS. They fought a death war and mostly massacre one-sidely by Zeon force. We see how desperate and struggle they fought while Zeon took the war like playing game and the place to gain honor and glory instead of war of independence. The main reason for Zeon to fear Gundam because they can't accept the reality that their supposed easy victory was snatched from them by EF MS. So they create fake image to run away from reality.
No the Federation has absolutely done some messed up shit, such as the creation of the EXAM system and HADES system which mentally reverted a full grown woman to a child. We also have groups such as the Black Dogs, Io's himself from Thunderbolt and the creation of the Titans. Earth Supremacists who gassed an innocent colony. They also broke the Antarctic Treaty by developing the GP0-2, an MS that uses nuclear weapons. While Zeon has done similar horrors and committed more crimes, it was mostly due to the twisted Zabi family. In the beginning Zeon had a noble goal, to be free. To have freedom and independence! It was just maliciously twisted by the Zabi family and only became. But even in the original Gundam series, we saw people who questioned and even talked back. We saw that Zeon itself is full of cracks and full of multiple individuals who don't agree with this war, but have to fight. Simply due to the fact they can't go home, they can't just quit. While it is gray. It's two forces who committed crimes, violated human rights, weaponized humanity's future and so on. Even after the OYW, Zeon became more. As individuals took command, all wanting a new future for humanity and ultimately Newtypes. Something the EFF recognized but never gave a damn about and even attempted to burn all records of Newtypes. The EFF has denied rights from people and has taken part in literally holding back humanity's development.
@@itsgab5745 The thing is. EF likes many old dynastry about to be perished and new era/dynastry would replace its as always. But Zabis infightging prolong the existance of corrupted EF even more. And after One-year war. The very existance of Zeon becomes nothing more than the useful tool for EF to extend its ruling and rightful tyranical over entire human species. Until the corrupted was so bad that some Gundam can't no longer fix the hole.
@jtbush Well, the federation in this show didn't really do anything _evil_ there weren't even any hard war crimes on display. Surprisingly, the only war crime in the whole show was by Zeon - dressing in the enemy's uniform. (Legal Notice: whether or not something is actually a war crimes depends on the applicable treaties and the authority of the international tribunal that goes case-by-case. Just doing something mean is not a war crime by itself as, you know, it's a war and business as usual includes people killing each other. With most regulations there are degrees as well as circumstances. Also, as with all international law, as we saw in our world repeatedly, a country may not recognize or discard the authority of a treaty or a tribunal. With that in mind we can only comfortably call "war crimes" in media things that are breaking clear regulations and are done by informed choice)
@@TheWarmachine375 I think one of the major issues they had is they tried to many things at the same time and kept trying to undercut each other's attempts. If they focused on one path and refined it, they could have beat the Gundam but nooo let not learn from what we have done and just try multiplied different things and still not learn ANY THING from the attempts.
@@judgedredd2039 Yeah, Mobile Suit Gundam 1979 did a deconstruction of the Monster of the Week formula where the antagonist faction build every new opponent to try take out the Gundam and it strained their resources and industrial capacity as a result.
Imagine rooting for the Feddie tyrants, the literal corrupt evil oligarchs who oppressed and murdered spacenoids for 80 years. The EF is lucky they got away with only one colony drop… oh wait!
The pilot of Gundam EX hits right on the money about Zeon returning from space to get revenge on Earth for driving them out and defeating them when Solari tries to claim they won't do that. Cue to Operation Stardust, Gryps Conflict and the First and Second Neo Zeon Wars.
@@networknomad5600 Zeon are literally sore losers in a nutshell. The moment they left Earth Sphere for deep space at Mars and Asteroid Belt, they're already free and can do whatever they want.

Man, I didn't expect much from this "Americanized" version, but I was impressed by this adaptation, the animation and soundtrack were great. and I can believe that it was the first time that this series managed to make me afraid of Gundam for the first time

@@RaggenZ Cool, I've never played Helldibers 2 but he did a cool doing the soundtrack, I'm not a fan of Warhammer 40k but I've seen some of his animated shorts, I didn't know he was in the production
Honestly it's more gundam than some recent gundam. It isn't overly flashey we got back to the One Year War with kinetics and ground slogging and some awesome gundam combat
Not really they killed it Via A Cheap shot when a ceasefire was underway Ill give them credit if they can beat it 1v4 or such besides if the kid was stil in Kill mode then everyone even the Fenrirs would have been reduced to ashes
3:34 That looked extremely personal but after suffering colony drops and probably friends being killed in BALLS in probably similar gruesome ways? Yeah, a feddie would get up close for some revenge. 5:27 Only protagonist power saved this woman. Nothing else. Amuro would have ganked her right then and there. Stopping right before her unit to go destroy the suits? Yeah, that was pretty dumb.
I saw a comment elsewhere saying someone in the editing team was carelessly adding filler clips to stretch out scenes like this with no regard to continuity
once Amuro and Whitebase delivered the specs, the Feds had the means to mass produce them and upgrade the entire Mobile Suit line. By the end of OG Gundam the entire army was Gundams.
1x RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam (supposedly salvaged for parts) 1x RX-78-2 Gundam (Amuro's) 1x Rx-78-3 G-3 Gundam (unknown status, but was eventually frameworked into Full Armor Type B post OYW) 1x Rx-78-6 Mudrock Gundam At least 7 total RX-78-# units were supposedly made with possible duplicates of some models, the above were the most noteable ~20+x RX-79[G] Ground Type Gundams were produced 1 got converted into the EZ-8 At least 1 got GM headed after battle damage (Like Karin's) 1 got converted into RX-79[G]F Sliferail (Swamp special operations) RX-79[G]SW and RX-79[G]WR Slave Wraith and Full Armor Slave Wraith 1x RX-78NT-1 Alex Gundam (A 2nd one would be made post OYW, and the original would be salvaged into the Tristan post OYW) 3x Pixy Gundam units RX-79D1-3 Blue Destiny 1-3 1x Full Armor Gundam (Thunderbolt) Aqua/Marine Type Gundams were upgraded conversions of Aqua GMs Full Armor Gundams were for ages considered either only in the design stage or propaganda purposes during OYW untill Thunderbolt revealed a working version. B Gundam(special mention) it was a Ball with a Gundam like face painted/modified on during the Battle of Solomon it scared several pilots into fleeing believing it was the actual thing, ergo it sort of counts. Now EX Gundam
The downside in knowing just what the Zeon did during the One Year War was that I never felt sympathy for the characters despite this show making every effort at showing them as the good guys. I was rooting for the Gundam, honest.
As you shouldn't, people need to remember they are space nazi's. The "clean Wehrmacht" like irl is a myth...there were maybe a handful of Wehrmacht soldiers who didn't want to participate in war crimes and didn't believe in the cause, many many more did. It's the same with Japanese soldiers in Asia...
I feel the same. I have a little more sympathy for the Remnant/Sleeves but anyone who can justify fighting for a regime that murdered billions, including spacenoids, deserves to get ganked by the horror gundam
What peeves me is that the Zeon troops didn’t check for explosives, they just assumed the base was safe after they routed the remaining Feddies; and right after they were just ambushed! Just throwing caution to the wind.
Revil after his capture at Loum noticed his captors had way too many higher ranks at too young an age. Its why Mqueve despite being only a Captain was Zeonic CO at Odessa. Too many of their experienced officer Corp are dead
The Zeon though very little of the Federation and never believe that they were as capable While they achieved their goals with stardust in 0083 , they gave the hard line elements an excuse to wage unrestricted warfare against spacenoids even by 0096, ECOAS was still tasked with black ops against Zeon forces
I love this particular depiction of the Gundam, for Zeon, this thing basically comes out of nowhere at first and there is not a thing at all any of them can do to stop this thing, we are so used to the green eyed, blocky version of it, that this particular depiction of it is more fitting to the "White Devil" title they give it, with freaking red eyes and actual beam weaponry that no other suits use, this thing comes out of the darkness and makes basically every attempt to stop it useless, there is a reason so many specialty and custom Zaku are made, because like this demonstrated, it made most MP suits obsolete immediately
They did a great job of making the gundam scary as fuck. I mean just look at the blood dripping from it's fist when it crushes the cockpit of the zaku. Fantastic.
Always nice seeing them depict how terrifying it is to actually face a gundam as a grunt, even if you're a special ish type of grunt. Just outmatched in every way and the only thing that can save you is outnumbering it and teamwork.
Caught a glimpse from Thunderbolt, but now do we see how terrifying a gundam is for these space fools. Heck, this is ain't even the one that's been dubbed White Devil.
"What the hell is that?" Says the Mobile Suit pilot in reference to a mobile suit. I love how the Gundam just stands there while the Zekes deploy their Zakus. Could have taken out two or three with that beam rifle before they even mounted up.
So did Zeon just forget to brief everyone about the Feddies new mobile suits? You'd think by this point everyone would be screaming "its a Gundam!" or something.
For most of the war, Type 61s, infantry and various aircraft fought Zeon's forces. While Zakus were feared, they could be ambushed and destroyed. Also zeon's failure to have air superiority hampered their campaigns. Hence why they fought to standstill. The gundam prototypes and GMs were late arrivals.
@@kyleabrezzi Yes I know. My point is that Amuro first fell into the cockpit in mid September. Fast forward a bit and the White Base has been cruising across the Earth itself since the start of October. Meanwhile, Requiem starts in November. Yet these grunts still can't ID a Gundam on sight. That's a failure of communication if there ever was one.
@@austinlamb7969 I am willing to bet that not all troops were briefed on federation ms. I mean by the time of odessa, it should have been well known. However, zeon is not the best at communication.
We saw it in Igloo. The Zeon high command actively suppressed the information about "The Trojan Horse" to keep the morale. The high ranking officers and real elite units got the memo first. Only after Odessa that "The White Devil" became common knowledge, i think
@@kyleabrezzi Agreed, Plus there's a good chance admitting the 'White Devil' and 'Trojan Ship' even exist to a Zabi loyalist at this point in the timeline is probably the equivalent of saying 'Operation Barbarosa is going badly and wasn't a good idea anyways' to an S.S officer in Paris.
4:51 Ah how symbolic this scene here with the Moon as the background and the White Devil itself surviving rocket launcher attack. Displaying the Luna Titanium Armor durability that the Zeon never heard of.
Dear God, I never realized how absolutely terrifying a Gundam is when growing up watching the show as a kid, in this respect it's like an actual horror movie. Seeing it from the other side I actually pity them so much now.
Nobody made the comparison to Vader just playfully murdering a bunch of rebels in a hallway? haha Just love that all you see is a dark silhouette moving so fast for you to react. Awesome and terrifying.
@@cpgrad07 I guess as war continues, the age of when to enter the army gets younger, like how some WW2 veterans were actually teenagers than 20-30+ year able adults.
This giving anyone else Pacific Rim vibes? Now I want to see a crossover (and the Amuro/Char shippers, of whom I am NOT one, would love the opportunities Drifting allows). I'm a tad perplexed by the EX Gundam though. I'm no Amuro supremacist, but I genuinely thought that his Gundam was the only one at the time.
Originally yes, but 45 years worth of side material has added on a bunch. There were several RX-78 types built to test different weapon sets and gather data for EF MS development going forward. Some of the spare parts for the RX-78 series weren't quite up to spec, but they were still way beyond most of what Zeon had. So the EFSF (Space Force) handed the parts over to the EFGF (Ground Force), who assembled them into about 20 of what they called RX-79[G] Ground Gundams. Not as finely tuned as the RX-78 series, but still fine MS. The units that had these Gundams tended to to modify them in all sorts of ways, from different weapon load outs to testbeds for anti Newtype systems that would be the ancestors of the Unicorn Gundam's NT-D mode 17 years later. White Base and the RX-78-2 get most of the credit for the Gundam name because they were constantly being used by the EFSF admirals as big flashy scary diversions from actual military movements.
@@alenofbellwood That is more realistic now that I think about it, having just one of the experimental military equipment thing is very stupid even if only one "copy" performs to the higher expectations. Still impressed that they haven't exhausted these single-front/battle stories yet
@@EthanKironus8067 There's a big positive and a big negative pushing that. The positive is that the One Year War was a huge battlefront across all Lagrange points and the entire surface of the Earth. There's a whole lot of room, literally and narratively, for all manner of test teams, secret squads, and just regular soldiers trying to make it to tomorrow. Everyone has a story to tell, as they say, and nearly all of humanity was fighting. So that's a lot of stories. The big negative pushing OYW stories is that Sunrise hasn't seen as much success as they'd like in their post OYW content, especially when it doesn't involve Zeon. Personally, I'd love to see a Crossbone Gundam anime, but that probably won't happen until AI video gets good enough for someone to make it themselves. So since Sunrise would like to continue to see the sun rise on their subdivision within Bandai-Namco, they do what pays the bills in this economy. And I don't blame them for that. Sometimes, you just have to survive today to achieve tomorrow.
@@alenofbellwood Yeah. One of my writer friends says she has a friend who writes extremely niche, extremely genre fiction (the genre has a small but dedicated audience) to pay the bills and does the writing he actually wants on the side. Even the most altruistic endeavours require money of some sort, or stuff given in lieu of money.
Pacific rim is a very american take on mecha and kaiju genres, while the japanese mecha is most often an evolution of a fighter jet, the american mecha is the evolution of a tank. So for this americanized take on the series we get a more clunky and mechanical gundam than normal.
I keep coming back to this video for the first appearance of the main Gundam in one of my ideas of another timeline. It's called the Ronin Gundam and it comes with a gravity based energy shield, fighting Mobile Suits based on tanks from WW1 to the 50s.
@@trollinoakenshield9822 I am planning on for the strike team that first sees the Ronin Gundam that the Mobile Suit equivalate that a Iria Solari character would have would be a german style made KV-1 style Mobile Suit.

The key here is that EX introduced beam weapons on completely different scale than the Zeons
It easily capped suits with one shot or cut in half via beam sabers
Confusion and Cockiness makes one hell of a combination to die miserably. I think the Zakus from the Salamander squad knew this and stood their ground enough to buy Solari some time.
@verdebusterAP it's later revealed that the pilot of the EX is some insanely intelligent cold calculating kid that's very good with games.
The technological advantage of the Gundam over the zakus plays a very big factor too. Also the redwolfs never seen something like this before played a factor in their demise too.
@@HaggisMonster
Come on now
when is the gundam pilot not a kid
As for the technological advantage
That Zaku was dumping everything into the EX shield yet it withstood whereas one shot from the beam rifle and that was all she wrote for the Zaku
Same with the beam saber
Zeon had beam weapons but never anything that could be used on the surface
they didnt get it that tech till after they captured a few GMs
I love how the EX here is being given the Godzilla treatment, not necessarily a force of nature but it sure as hell is a product of mankind. The shot here feels like how you would shot a Godzilla film.
Yessss this reminds me of godzilla minus one's godzilla
It feels like how humanity saw the first Nuclear bomb, that Beam projectile just tears through buildings after it destroyed a Zaku they supposed to capture, then it only use its beam saber to not destroy everything else.
The music is very Godzilla
Reference to Daimajin. The mecha genre is a descendent of the kaiju genre.
Daimajin was a giant statue that would become alive and destroy evil while weighting thousands of tons. Daimajin would then inspire the first piloted mecha in anime known as Mazinger Z, which inspired all other mecha shows that came after it.
The body language used by the earlier mobile suits and Mazinger Z are all references to Daimajin's body language
Gundam when its the horror show it is.
"How is it moving so fast?"
Char: That's funny
Also Char: *tries to stop the Gundam multiple times but failed every time*
its not even moving that fast for a gundam!!!! and already they quake with fear!!!
To be fair, Char was in space. This is in-atmosphere on the ground.
Doan: Huh.
To be fair, they’re in-atmosphere and under gravity. So, for a 60-ton hunk of metal to move like that, it has to seem like magic.
Say what you will about the show, but God is the Gundam a magnificent beast.
The wonders of Operation V by Tem Ray, father of Amuro.
Yeah. That's what you get for killing half of humanity. Pity some of them survived.
Zeon had the Earth Occupation Force to seize many territories and plunder resources so that they can send them to space to feed their war industry.
Yeah one of my main issues with uc is how they seem obsessed with trying to make it seem like the one year war was even and morally gray. Yeah no one side had significantly more civilain bodybags.
It’s kinda hard to feel sorry for Zeon when the opening move is the gas a space colony and drop it on earth. Like I get the Federation is oppressive but you didn’t need to murder so many people for that.
Fun fact actually. If you look at some of the old numbers, Zeon and Spacenoids in general had MUCH higher civilian casualties. Most of humanity was living in the colonies by the outbreak of the One Year War.
@@fanusobscurus Fun fact theres literally only a couple lines that say that. Its also impossible since most of the colonies were actually either neutral or aligned with the federation. Zeon was really only side 3.
Turns out gassing the residents of one and using to cause nuclear winter on the planet that makes mosty of your supplies and turning another into a debris field doesnt endear you to people.
Remember...
We have Space Nazi as protagonist who think they're good guy.
And all of them died in 08Team.
@jtbush Depend on the side.
If we see through those EF ground force before they had MS.
They fought a death war and mostly massacre one-sidely by Zeon force.
We see how desperate and struggle they fought while Zeon took the war like playing game and the place to gain honor and glory instead of war of independence.
The main reason for Zeon to fear Gundam because they can't accept the reality that their supposed easy victory was snatched from them by EF MS.
So they create fake image to run away from reality.
Neither side are particularly "good", only the protags and their little crews are.
No the Federation has absolutely done some messed up shit, such as the creation of the EXAM system and HADES system which mentally reverted a full grown woman to a child. We also have groups such as the Black Dogs, Io's himself from Thunderbolt and the creation of the Titans. Earth Supremacists who gassed an innocent colony. They also broke the Antarctic Treaty by developing the GP0-2, an MS that uses nuclear weapons.
While Zeon has done similar horrors and committed more crimes, it was mostly due to the twisted Zabi family. In the beginning Zeon had a noble goal, to be free. To have freedom and independence! It was just maliciously twisted by the Zabi family and only became. But even in the original Gundam series, we saw people who questioned and even talked back. We saw that Zeon itself is full of cracks and full of multiple individuals who don't agree with this war, but have to fight. Simply due to the fact they can't go home, they can't just quit.
While it is gray. It's two forces who committed crimes, violated human rights, weaponized humanity's future and so on. Even after the OYW, Zeon became more. As individuals took command, all wanting a new future for humanity and ultimately Newtypes. Something the EFF recognized but never gave a damn about and even attempted to burn all records of Newtypes. The EFF has denied rights from people and has taken part in literally holding back humanity's development.
@@itsgab5745 The thing is. EF likes many old dynastry about to be perished and new era/dynastry would replace its as always.
But Zabis infightging prolong the existance of corrupted EF even more.
And after One-year war. The very existance of Zeon becomes nothing more than the useful tool for EF to extend its ruling and rightful tyranical over entire human species.
Until the corrupted was so bad that some Gundam can't no longer fix the hole.
@jtbush Well, the federation in this show didn't really do anything _evil_ there weren't even any hard war crimes on display. Surprisingly, the only war crime in the whole show was by Zeon - dressing in the enemy's uniform.
(Legal Notice: whether or not something is actually a war crimes depends on the applicable treaties and the authority of the international tribunal that goes case-by-case. Just doing something mean is not a war crime by itself as, you know, it's a war and business as usual includes people killing each other. With most regulations there are degrees as well as circumstances. Also, as with all international law, as we saw in our world repeatedly, a country may not recognize or discard the authority of a treaty or a tribunal. With that in mind we can only comfortably call "war crimes" in media things that are breaking clear regulations and are done by informed choice)
Finally, some good frakking footage of Zekes getting slaughtered like the chumps they are.
Yeah back in the One Year War, Zeon tried everything to beat the Gundam with various mobile weapons but failed every time.
@@TheWarmachine375 I think one of the major issues they had is they tried to many things at the same time and kept trying to undercut each other's attempts. If they focused on one path and refined it, they could have beat the Gundam but nooo let not learn from what we have done and just try multiplied different things and still not learn ANY THING from the attempts.
@@judgedredd2039 Yeah, Mobile Suit Gundam 1979 did a deconstruction of the Monster of the Week formula where the antagonist faction build every new opponent to try take out the Gundam and it strained their resources and industrial capacity as a result.
Sir, we found a Feddie
Imagine rooting for the Feddie tyrants, the literal corrupt evil oligarchs who oppressed and murdered spacenoids for 80 years. The EF is lucky they got away with only one colony drop… oh wait!
Wait 'til they find out they were fighting a mini-boss compared to OG RX-78.
RX-78-2.
Is it wrong to enjoy watching the gundam pulverize the cast for the whole season. Go go gundam.
As someone from Sydney....
Nope.
It’s kinda hard to make the one year war mostly grey when it’s shown that Zeon was doing war crimes like it was a bingo card
They’re zekes after all, nothing to feel bad about
schadenfreude, an addicting concoction. like revenge, it's best served cold.
Yes. Zeon is based, and you shouldn’t root for the borderline deus ex machina that the Gundam is in this show.
Federation POV: The Gundams are here to save us all!
Zeon POV: The Gundams are eldritch abomination!!
Gundam EX: _"My turn now, Space Nazi."_
The pilot of Gundam EX hits right on the money about Zeon returning from space to get revenge on Earth for driving them out and defeating them when Solari tries to claim they won't do that.
Cue to Operation Stardust, Gryps Conflict and the First and Second Neo Zeon Wars.
@@TheWarmachine375Good. The EF deserves every bit of “counterattack” the spacenoids can muster.
@@networknomad5600 Zeon are literally sore losers in a nutshell. The moment they left Earth Sphere for deep space at Mars and Asteroid Belt, they're already free and can do whatever they want.

Man, I didn't expect much from this "Americanized" version, but I was impressed by this adaptation, the animation and soundtrack were great. and I can believe that it was the first time that this series managed to make me afraid of Gundam for the first time
I mean the soundtrack was the artist who do helldivers 2.
Ofcourse it's going to be good

@@RaggenZ Cool, I've never played Helldibers 2 but he did a cool doing the soundtrack, I'm not a fan of Warhammer 40k but I've seen some of his animated shorts, I didn't know he was in the production
Honestly it's more gundam than some recent gundam. It isn't overly flashey we got back to the One Year War with kinetics and ground slogging and some awesome gundam combat
"IT"S A GUNDAM!!! AHHHH!!" *blown up by Gundam* Now this is how Gundam's should be. The most feared machine on the battlefield.
Its a horror. That's how Zeons see it.
Not the best animation… but damn its nice to see a gundam show that makes it feel like a horror show compared to what we’re used to
Honestly, it ironically gives me some of that MS Igloo nostalgia which might loop back around to being a positive, lol.
It's done by the same guy that does a few Warhammer 40K animations, such as The Lord Inquisitor, apparently. Guy's great at animating armor.

Just how many Gundam were there during 1 Year War.
Kakarot197 made a video about all the Gundams in the One Year War
once Amuro and Whitebase delivered the specs, the Feds had the means to mass produce them and upgrade the entire Mobile Suit line. By the end of OG Gundam the entire army was Gundams.
1. Rx-78-2
Several Ground type
1 Ez8
1 Alex
1 Full armor Gundam
Several Gundam head
1. RX-78-2
2. Alex (War in the pocket)
3. Gundam in ThunderBolt Sector
4. Gundam in MS Gundam : The 08th MS Team
5. This one.
There are 5 Gundams
1x RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam (supposedly salvaged for parts)
1x RX-78-2 Gundam (Amuro's)
1x Rx-78-3 G-3 Gundam (unknown status, but was eventually frameworked into Full Armor Type B post OYW)
1x Rx-78-6 Mudrock Gundam
At least 7 total RX-78-# units were supposedly made with possible duplicates of some models, the above were the most noteable
~20+x RX-79[G] Ground Type Gundams were produced
1 got converted into the EZ-8
At least 1 got GM headed after battle damage (Like Karin's)
1 got converted into RX-79[G]F Sliferail (Swamp special operations)
RX-79[G]SW and RX-79[G]WR Slave Wraith and Full Armor Slave Wraith
1x RX-78NT-1 Alex Gundam (A 2nd one would be made post OYW, and the original would be salvaged into the Tristan post OYW)
3x Pixy Gundam units
RX-79D1-3 Blue Destiny 1-3
1x Full Armor Gundam (Thunderbolt)
Aqua/Marine Type Gundams were upgraded conversions of Aqua GMs
Full Armor Gundams were for ages considered either only in the design stage or propaganda purposes during OYW untill Thunderbolt revealed a working version.
B Gundam(special mention) it was a Ball with a Gundam like face painted/modified on during the Battle of Solomon it scared several pilots into fleeing believing it was the actual thing, ergo it sort of counts.
Now EX Gundam
When you think Federation is cruel, remember what Zeon did in operation British.
This is my favorite things about this show. I have never been terrified of a Gundam till now
They are like terminators
When Zeon forgets that Earth includes America.
Gundam: Allow me to show you how Obsolete your Mechsuits are!
This isn't Gundam anymore, this is a horror movie 💀
Makes You Wonder About Tender Hearted Folk Such As Amuro.
The downside in knowing just what the Zeon did during the One Year War was that I never felt sympathy for the characters despite this show making every effort at showing them as the good guys. I was rooting for the Gundam, honest.
As you shouldn't, people need to remember they are space nazi's. The "clean Wehrmacht" like irl is a myth...there were maybe a handful of Wehrmacht soldiers who didn't want to participate in war crimes and didn't believe in the cause, many many more did. It's the same with Japanese soldiers in Asia...
I feel the same. I have a little more sympathy for the Remnant/Sleeves but anyone who can justify fighting for a regime that murdered billions, including spacenoids, deserves to get ganked by the horror gundam
What peeves me is that the Zeon troops didn’t check for explosives, they just assumed the base was safe after they routed the remaining Feddies; and right after they were just ambushed! Just throwing caution to the wind.
Completely canon Zeon incompetence yes
This is why they lost so badly. They went into an urban area in parade formation.
Revil after his capture at Loum noticed his captors had way too many higher ranks at too young an age. Its why Mqueve despite being only a Captain was Zeonic CO at Odessa. Too many of their experienced officer Corp are dead
@@silentghoust In other words, they did what the Russians did in Ukraine in 2022. With the same result.
The Zeon though very little of the Federation and never believe that they were as capable
While they achieved their goals with stardust in 0083 , they gave the hard line elements an excuse to wage unrestricted warfare against spacenoids
even by 0096, ECOAS was still tasked with black ops against Zeon forces
Finally Gundam as a monster (as seen by Zions)
I love this particular depiction of the Gundam, for Zeon, this thing basically comes out of nowhere at first and there is not a thing at all any of them can do to stop this thing, we are so used to the green eyed, blocky version of it, that this particular depiction of it is more fitting to the "White Devil" title they give it, with freaking red eyes and actual beam weaponry that no other suits use, this thing comes out of the darkness and makes basically every attempt to stop it useless, there is a reason so many specialty and custom Zaku are made, because like this demonstrated, it made most MP suits obsolete immediately
They did a great job of making the gundam scary as fuck. I mean just look at the blood dripping from it's fist when it crushes the cockpit of the zaku. Fantastic.
Get flushed Zion >:D
Always nice seeing them depict how terrifying it is to actually face a gundam as a grunt, even if you're a special ish type of grunt. Just outmatched in every way and the only thing that can save you is outnumbering it and teamwork.
Reminds me when a U.S. B-17 squad encountered the German Messerschmitt Me 262 (the first jet) in WWII.
1:18 ITS A GUNDAM!!!
Caught a glimpse from Thunderbolt, but now do we see how terrifying a gundam is for these space fools. Heck, this is ain't even the one that's been dubbed White Devil.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front did it way before Thundbolt, did it better, and did it with the RX-78-2.
Inner Sphere mercs encountering their first MadCat.
I killed one with Arrow IV missiles
And within 8 years, Smoke Jaguar meeting Operation Bulldog.
I love that when the gundam pulls its fist out of the Zaku you see the bl00d from the crushed pilot, its such a cool detail
I bet Zeon was starting to regret gassing and dropping colonies now.
Hella brutal death 3:35
Man, imagine how bad it was to hear the crunch that loudly.
Bro got Kujan death treatment
Red paste tomato yum
Zeon tomato paste, wonder when will we get Titans paste
Additional ketchup for the Zaku FZ Bernie Burger. Perfect to mix with the Kampfer Cockpit Swiss Cheese and Gundam Aerial's tomato slap ketchup
The Gundam is almost unstoppable, even all Zaku weapons cannot penetrate the armor
"What the hell is that?" Says the Mobile Suit pilot in reference to a mobile suit. I love how the Gundam just stands there while the Zekes deploy their Zakus. Could have taken out two or three with that beam rifle before they even mounted up.
Nah, that kid wanted to style on those fools. Or else he could've just beam rifled the empty Zakus the second everything kicked off
Damn it's like the federation didn't have mobile suits before this or something
The film fully demonstrates the justice of the Earth Federation and Zeon's thorough brainwashing of the grassroots soldiers.😂
I find it so funny that the animation for people and their facial animations isn't the greatest. But the Gundam and Zaku? Top-notch
So did Zeon just forget to brief everyone about the Feddies new mobile suits? You'd think by this point everyone would be screaming "its a Gundam!" or something.
For most of the war, Type 61s, infantry and various aircraft fought Zeon's forces. While Zakus were feared, they could be ambushed and destroyed. Also zeon's failure to have air superiority hampered their campaigns. Hence why they fought to standstill. The gundam prototypes and GMs were late arrivals.
@@kyleabrezzi Yes I know. My point is that Amuro first fell into the cockpit in mid September. Fast forward a bit and the White Base has been cruising across the Earth itself since the start of October.
Meanwhile, Requiem starts in November. Yet these grunts still can't ID a Gundam on sight. That's a failure of communication if there ever was one.
@@austinlamb7969 I am willing to bet that not all troops were briefed on federation ms. I mean by the time of odessa, it should have been well known. However, zeon is not the best at communication.
We saw it in Igloo. The Zeon high command actively suppressed the information about "The Trojan Horse" to keep the morale. The high ranking officers and real elite units got the memo first. Only after Odessa that "The White Devil" became common knowledge, i think
@@kyleabrezzi Agreed, Plus there's a good chance admitting the 'White Devil' and 'Trojan Ship' even exist to a Zabi loyalist at this point in the timeline is probably the equivalent of saying 'Operation Barbarosa is going badly and wasn't a good idea anyways' to an S.S officer in Paris.
4:51 Ah how symbolic this scene here with the Moon as the background and the White Devil itself surviving rocket launcher attack.
Displaying the Luna Titanium Armor durability that the Zeon never heard of.
1:30 the Zaku pilots were just chilling while hell was exploding all around them and had to be ordered back into their suits.
3:27 it kinda sounds like the at-at when it moves
Dear God, I never realized how absolutely terrifying a Gundam is when growing up watching the show as a kid, in this respect it's like an actual horror movie. Seeing it from the other side I actually pity them so much now.
This has to be the strongest Gundam in my opinion
Nobody made the comparison to Vader just playfully murdering a bunch of rebels in a hallway? haha
Just love that all you see is a dark silhouette moving so fast for you to react. Awesome and terrifying.
Atta boy! Show these zeeks what for!
"What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly."
Gundam here is literally a Horror. What's worse, it is piloted by a boy, not even old enough to be a soldier like they expected.
He is old enough to be solider, since Zeon killed 1/2 of the human population in the first month of the war.
@@cpgrad07 I guess as war continues, the age of when to enter the army gets younger, like how some WW2 veterans were actually teenagers than 20-30+ year able adults.
I never expected to see a Gundam show that treats the Gundam like the Cloverfield monster.
Loved the scale of this show. infantry view makes the mobile suits feel real and heavy and not like dancing fairies (cough* Gundam seed cough*cough*)
4 40 Gundams do not fall so easily. Except Blu Duel.
Welcome to Earth, Zeeks!
I like that it felt like a real war movie and the mobile suits actually felt like an advancement to military technology
This giving anyone else Pacific Rim vibes? Now I want to see a crossover (and the Amuro/Char shippers, of whom I am NOT one, would love the opportunities Drifting allows).
I'm a tad perplexed by the EX Gundam though. I'm no Amuro supremacist, but I genuinely thought that his Gundam was the only one at the time.
Originally yes, but 45 years worth of side material has added on a bunch. There were several RX-78 types built to test different weapon sets and gather data for EF MS development going forward. Some of the spare parts for the RX-78 series weren't quite up to spec, but they were still way beyond most of what Zeon had. So the EFSF (Space Force) handed the parts over to the EFGF (Ground Force), who assembled them into about 20 of what they called RX-79[G] Ground Gundams. Not as finely tuned as the RX-78 series, but still fine MS. The units that had these Gundams tended to to modify them in all sorts of ways, from different weapon load outs to testbeds for anti Newtype systems that would be the ancestors of the Unicorn Gundam's NT-D mode 17 years later. White Base and the RX-78-2 get most of the credit for the Gundam name because they were constantly being used by the EFSF admirals as big flashy scary diversions from actual military movements.
@@alenofbellwood That is more realistic now that I think about it, having just one of the experimental military equipment thing is very stupid even if only one "copy" performs to the higher expectations.
Still impressed that they haven't exhausted these single-front/battle stories yet
@@EthanKironus8067 There's a big positive and a big negative pushing that. The positive is that the One Year War was a huge battlefront across all Lagrange points and the entire surface of the Earth. There's a whole lot of room, literally and narratively, for all manner of test teams, secret squads, and just regular soldiers trying to make it to tomorrow. Everyone has a story to tell, as they say, and nearly all of humanity was fighting. So that's a lot of stories. The big negative pushing OYW stories is that Sunrise hasn't seen as much success as they'd like in their post OYW content, especially when it doesn't involve Zeon. Personally, I'd love to see a Crossbone Gundam anime, but that probably won't happen until AI video gets good enough for someone to make it themselves. So since Sunrise would like to continue to see the sun rise on their subdivision within Bandai-Namco, they do what pays the bills in this economy. And I don't blame them for that. Sometimes, you just have to survive today to achieve tomorrow.
@@alenofbellwood Yeah. One of my writer friends says she has a friend who writes extremely niche, extremely genre fiction (the genre has a small but dedicated audience) to pay the bills and does the writing he actually wants on the side.
Even the most altruistic endeavours require money of some sort, or stuff given in lieu of money.
Pacific rim is a very american take on mecha and kaiju genres, while the japanese mecha is most often an evolution of a fighter jet, the american mecha is the evolution of a tank. So for this americanized take on the series we get a more clunky and mechanical gundam than normal.
