War.... has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control…everything is monitored and kept under control. War…has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction, and he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War…has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine.

I just watched War in the Pocket last night and Bernie is definitely my favorite pilot in any universe now. He is the definition of a tragic hero. He didn't owe anyone in the colony anything but he fought bravely for them. What he lacked in skill, he made up for in resourcefulness.
I believe that later in life as an adult Al tells everyone what Bernie Did, and the side actually builds a monument to him. not because he was a Zion or anything political, But because he fought and through his actions, tried to save the colony. Short definition of a Hero honestly. I think I also read somewhere that Al did eventually become a Mobile suit pilot as well.
In the version I watched is was pretty heavily implied he connected the dots. He sees her get escorted out of the cockpit, and has a breakdown/thousand yard stare, then sees her at the end when she's being transferred. Even tells him to say bye to Bernie since she couldn't see him before leaving. Then he starts almost crying so she kisses him on the cheek. Think it was basically implied she knew Bernie was the other pilot by that moment
@@Drocks0 I'm pretty sure he meant Bernie never knew Chris was the Gundam pilot. Al definitely knew, they make a whole thing out of him reacting to her having been pulled from the cockpit. There's really no two ways about that.
No matter how many times I watch this, it still brings me to tears. This clip alone does what every other Gundam has failed to do in its anti-war message and I love this series for that. I love how it doesn't rely on melodramatic MS fights to show the tragedy of war and that the battles that do happen only help emphasize how tragic and pointless war is.
>still believing that gundam is still anti war >first series is literally just saying its your choice on how the mess of war is decided and that there is no good answer
Canonically he saved a lot of lives. I think the Coloney also built a monument to him later when Al (as an adult) revealed the evidence from his package.
"Don't hate the gundam pilot or the Federation soldiers" this is the heart of modern War. Nobody goes to war because they're evil and want to kill people. They're all just trying to protect something.
Dramatic Irony, Tragedy, Humour, that OAV had it all. And it will be foreved one of my favorite piece of media ever watched. Rest in Peace Bernie, you may have died a futile death. But you will be remembered among the Legends. Not bad for a rookie.
This is one of the greatest anti-war films, because it takes the brave step towards making sure the audience knows how futile it all is. Not only is Bernie’s death unnecessary, but Al loses all his friends in the process (grown distant from school friends and Chris left to earth). Then the final shot with its zoom out from the colony really nails home that this was just, one tiny side story, tangential to the war that ultimately had no bearing on the war’s progress at all.
Honestly, Bernie very well might have saved Al's life. Not because he stopped a nuke or destroyed the Gundam. But by showing him that, war fucking sucks. If Al didn't meet or form a bond with Bernie he probably would've joined the military during the Neo Zeon wars and probably would've died a nameless soldier. But now? Now that he's seen the older brother that he never had get killed by the older sister figure in her life? I don't think he'll ever get near a mobile suit or even the military ever again. I like to believe that Al became a political activist or maybe even a politician. Just so that he could find a peaceful way to stop wars. And that he had taken Bernie's words to heart, that he shouldn't hate and that everyone on all sides are just humans trying to do what they think is right.
I mean, if I wanted to be a pedantic ass I could say there's no guarantee Al would've been killed in combat, but you have a really good point either way. Even if we wanted to take that tack, just sparing Al the horror of experiencing war on the frontlines, as a soldier, was doing him a great service. Al's whole experience in 0080 can basically be summed up with "war is really cool, until it isn't". Bernie helped him to understand that. That's his legacy, really.
Knowing how grimdark UC can get, there's a good chance that Al was part of the protests for spacenoid autonomy against the titans.. You know... In Banchi of Side 1...
@@Globalnet626 it's unlikely since he's in a different colony and it's not that easy to go between them especially when Al's just a highschooler when the Gryphs conflict started
I was watching this my room crying like a little girl with this emotional scene. Remember, this was on cartoon network shortly after 9/11 and so the concept of war was upfront and new to 4th/5th grade year old me. My parents thought I was struggling with math homework.
Reminds me of a different 'final message' - "Is there such thing as an absolute timeless enemy? There is no such thing and never has been. And the reason is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms. The world must be made whole again."
@@boxtank5288 I think there was an addition at the end of a manga or something about this series, but as an adult Al reveals the truth to Christina (the Gundam's pilot) and they write a book about what happened doing the incident. After it's release the colony actually builds a monument to Bernie, they dont factor politics or anything like that in when they do it the only did it because Bernie gave up his life for the colony. it's really a driving force that shows that well Zion might have been run by space Nazi's. there were decent people.
In fairness, the Kampfer just kind of had a shit matchup with the Alex. For being as cracked as the Kampfer is, it's legitimately less durable than a generic Zaku, since all the emphasis was put on speed and maneuverability. Mikhail charges in, thinking the worst he's got to deal with might be some head vulcans, having no idea there are gatling guns built into the arms. If he'd known about that, he likely would've approached it very differently. As much as I love 0080, I'll always find that fight scene kind of disappointing. I wanted to see the Kampfer actually do something before it inevitably gets ripped to pieces, especially when 0080 handles its combat so well. What a missed opportunity.
That recording was like a foreshadowing of Bernie's demise at the hands of the Gundam Alex. That Gundam OVA was one of the most heart-wrenching and emotional side stories of the Universal Century timeline.
One time on the way home from getting Fried Chicken for my family I saw a really awful crash where two huge SUVs collided and flipped in seconds and I felt like I was going to puke rather than eat
Hamburger. mhm. A young pilot of average ability in a universe of superhumans, space nazis and hamburgers. Stood against a gundam MK.2 with nothing but a damaged Zaku and almost no ammo. If you watch the scene 1000 times the ending will change.
He mentioned something interesting, Cypher is pursuing new research. He claims what they're doing in Africa is the missing piece, a weapon to surpass metal gear.
While many would see this scene as sad, I’d like to see it in a heartwarming light. While Bernie seemed insignificant compared to other Gundam characters, he gives Al and the audience the message about not hating your enemies. He recognizes that there would always be good people somewhere in the “evil” side. I hope that Al could take those words to heart and find some peace.
Someone in the end in 2019 found out Bernie action of demolishing the Gundam Alex helped Zeon to last their war longer. By saving Char from Amuro for keeping the Alex not delivered to the guy, Bernie silent death has indirectly kept the living torch of Zeon, Char Azanable, alive. Thus, encouraging the Zeon to continue fighting, despite failing from time to time against Earth federation, even to a hundred year later
If he Saved Char Indirectly with it, Then bernie Wiseman is even a more greater Character as he was before. because Char Aznable is such a good Character too.
What?!?! Metal Gear...I mean Gundam!! It is so weird the first time I watched this OVA I never realized it was David Hayter who voiced Bernie, till I looked it up a year after I watched the OVA.
I once had a good old comrade, He was always at my side. When the call to arms was sounded, We both marched with hearts unbounded , In perfect pace and stride. A bullet came a-flying, Was it meant for him or me? In an instant he was swept away, In an instant in the dust he lay, So cold and stiff at my feet. As I restocked my rifle, He extended me his hand. I can’t stop the fight to hold your hand, Go on now to where life never ends, You’ve earned it, dear old comrade.
You know, the thing I like the most about this beautiful OAV Series is that, unlike too many Gundam series, this show’s anti-war message is delivered through ACTUAL regular people and normal army officiers and they REMAIN this way until the very end. Al start the story as a naive child and finish as a now broken one; Chris is simply a test pilot at the beginning and while she gets promoted it’s clearly not an overly big one; and Bernie start as a inexperimented, disposable rookie among a team of equally disposable soldiers anddie while still nothing more than that. It’s a kind of down to earth type of story I honestly wish to see more in the Gundam Franchi, at least from war I’ve seen now (MSG, Zeta, ZZ, Char’s CC, War in the Pocket, F91).
dammit Bernie why couldn't you have just gone and delivered the information to the Federation... :,( why did you have to risk your life and the Gundam's pilot in a stupid meaningless fight.... I can understand his reasons. he explicitly tells us them. It's still so sad to realize he died
I know this is an old comment but Bernie was insecure about his military accomplishments since he was a rookie and he wanted to be a hero that is probably why he kept lying to Al about his supposed achievements of almost becoming an ace and probably why he joined the army in the first place. On top of that he was the sole survivor from his crew. I bet he would have still fought even if there wasn't a nuclear attack threat on the colony just for the sake of being a soldier and honouring himself and his dead comrades. He died like a warrior because he didn't want to live on as a coward.
@@biterness2323 well even at the end he said that if everything goes right, maybe he'll hang out with everyone and live peacefully, it was just a small little thought that crossed his mind; i see it as if he had a tiny bit of hope that everything would turn out ok, even if that was extremely unlikely, he still had some hope. Turns out it just wasn't in the cards...
Late ass reply but he was probably planning on escaping to Zeon controlled territories after destroying the gundam, as such he had no intentions in turning himself in and relied on Al in doing this task for him.
@@everettomailia8668 "He then accidentally throws himself into the ocean and is unfortunately exposed to the horrors of having to learn how to run the Mother Base again."
Well they end up together Robot Wars 3, the main charaters intercept a comm transmission from Bernie to his CO and Chris verbally smacks him untill he joins you. XD So somewhere they did get a happy ending. :)
That's why I always had respect for the SRW games. Because they at least fixed a LOT of the crap that happens in the Gundam universes. While I do understand that it won't ever change canon, I'm fine with that because at least that way I can still have my favorite characters happy in at least one setting. (Too bad it never fixed that MASSIVE pain Rayearth etched in my heart. I swear, Emeraude died and was never allowed to have a happy ending with Zagato all because of the fucked up "rules" that Cephiro had. I swear, if it came to me choosing either my greatest love or living peacefully within Society, I would say "FUCK YOU" to Society in a heartbeat.)
@@Phoenix_Destiny_Kai Yeahj they have made certain series and chars I hate either tolerable or like their takes on them. Such as EVA and Zeta Gundam. Also the comic fun of the Girls form Rayearth wanting the Getters to train them in 30 XD and the Getters internally being THIS IS SO BAD AN IDEA!)
@boomstix I agree with your first point to an extent. To your 2nd point though, again, I disagree. Speaking specifically about "War in the Pocket", the story was made for character development. The main character is a boy and in the 6 episodes, there are 4 mobile suit battles, all rather short. The writers would have to be idiots for Alfred not to be changed by his experience. I'm not saying they didn't do a great job but the setting & premise lent themselves to character development.
@TekkaSage yes mk 2 didn't have any gundarium, could be due to high cost of putting it on a ms. mk2 is still awesome slightly based on rx-78 series, but that's where the similarities end. mk2 series was huge upgrade in performance, firepower and electronics.
@TekkaSage lunar titanium alloy was renamed to gundarium later on, check zeta. gundanium is from wing, but its later revealed to be Lunar Titanium alloy. there fore connecting UC with AC. gundanium = gundarium = lunar titanium alloy.
@dchris1990 Have you watched this video? Bernie didn't want to do what you suggested because it would have been the easy way out. He said he didn't want to avenge his unit but finishing the mission for them had to have played in part in his subconscious reasoning(that he admitted to not understanding) for wanting to fight the Gundam.
Ya it never came out here to to copy right issues however there is an fan translation out there. Though it's old in several other games you can save Bernie too. :D Normally he does end up with Chris as her boyfriend. >D
@BlackDeathViral03 so true by far Bernie's one of my most favorite characters screw those seed, wing characters Bernie's more human and fleshed out more than all of them combined
@octoslut I never said Bernie was a bad pilot but he sure as hell wasn't a good one. The guy was a green rookie who got shot down on his first mission. Yes, his Zaku was inferior to the Alex but Bernie simply didn't have the piloting skills to prolong the battle.
@dchris1990 You do realize this was towards the end of a WAR right? In war, soldiers fight and people get killed. YOU may rather be a coward but that Bernie didn't want to be a coward and fought when he didn't have to is what makes him such a great character.
@octoslut It goes to show you strategy and tactics can really make the difference. The gundam definitely out classed the Zaku Kai in every way however, I just like to point out that the Alex is made of a lunar titanium alloy and not gundarium. You're thinking of Gundam Wing.
@Ginga from my point i would say bernie > chris. she relied on the gundam too much. zaku wasn't just inferior it was a big difference between them, gundam was way faster, more powerful and had extremely strong armor aka gundarium for zaku's weapon to beat.

Al start the story as a naive child and finish as a now broken one; Chris is simply a test pilot at the beginning and while she gets promoted it’s clearly not an overly big one; and Bernie start as a inexperimented, disposable rookie among a team of equally disposable soldiers anddie while still nothing more than that.
It’s a kind of down to earth type of story I honestly wish to see more in the Gundam Franchi, at least from war I’ve seen now (MSG, Zeta, ZZ, Char’s CC, War in the Pocket, F91).
I'm really annoyed that War in the Pocket hasn't been given a UK Blu Ray Release yet.
Why is he so perfect?
He is David Hayter
I'm not crying, y'all are crying. Stop looking at me.
Wish there were more gundam series like this
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
"Hal, okay...listen carefully."

"Excuse me Hal....Colonel, what are your orders?"

@@animatoraoi3672 LIQUID!!!!!
Feel the bern
and the METAL GEAR
Thanks for posting this. I'm going to use it for a theatre class. RIP Bernie
The bad thing is chris and Bernie didn't know who were they fighting
Bernie is a god damned roll model.
I just finished War in the pocket, and then this video just popped up in my recommendation :( Bernie
I hope Unicorn pay tribute to all these ova characters and the battles they fought
Sadly it isn’t
Go Watch Build fighters it makes them better and happily live after
dammit Bernie why couldn't you have just gone and delivered the information to the Federation... :,( why did you have to risk your life and the Gundam's pilot in a stupid meaningless fight....
I can understand his reasons. he explicitly tells us them. It's still so sad to realize he died
I know this is an old comment but Bernie was insecure about his military accomplishments since he was a rookie and he wanted to be a hero that is probably why he kept lying to Al about his supposed achievements of almost becoming an ace and probably why he joined the army in the first place. On top of that he was the sole survivor from his crew. I bet he would have still fought even if there wasn't a nuclear attack threat on the colony just for the sake of being a soldier and honouring himself and his dead comrades. He died like a warrior because he didn't want to live on as a coward.
@@biterness2323 well even at the end he said that if everything goes right, maybe he'll hang out with everyone and live peacefully, it was just a small little thought that crossed his mind; i see it as if he had a tiny bit of hope that everything would turn out ok, even if that was extremely unlikely, he still had some hope. Turns out it just wasn't in the cards...
Late ass reply but he was probably planning on escaping to Zeon controlled territories after destroying the gundam, as such he had no intentions in turning himself in and relied on Al in doing this task for him.
Evidence?!
Nuclear attack?!
The colony can still be saved?!
The Gundam?!
METALLLLLL GEARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Hey it’s Christmas, rip Bernard
I like to think Bernie became a cyborg and ran as a democratic party presidential candidate.
OMG SOOOO SAD CRYING IM SORRY I CANT HELP MYSELF
Goat
SNAKE!
IF YOU HATE THIS OVA I HATE YOU OKAY

Well they end up together Robot Wars 3, the main charaters intercept a comm transmission from Bernie to his CO and Chris verbally smacks him untill he joins you. XD So somewhere they did get a happy ending. :)
That's why I always had respect for the SRW games. Because they at least fixed a LOT of the crap that happens in the Gundam universes. While I do understand that it won't ever change canon, I'm fine with that because at least that way I can still have my favorite characters happy in at least one setting. (Too bad it never fixed that MASSIVE pain Rayearth etched in my heart. I swear, Emeraude died and was never allowed to have a happy ending with Zagato all because of the fucked up "rules" that Cephiro had. I swear, if it came to me choosing either my greatest love or living peacefully within Society, I would say "FUCK YOU" to Society in a heartbeat.)
@@Phoenix_Destiny_Kai Yeahj they have made certain series and chars I hate either tolerable or like their takes on them. Such as EVA and Zeta Gundam. Also the comic fun of the Girls form Rayearth wanting the Getters to train them in 30 XD and the Getters internally being THIS IS SO BAD AN IDEA!)
why he had to die..
to be reincarnated as the best spy ever.
To be burger
try not to cry
@boomstix
I agree with your first point to an extent.
To your 2nd point though, again, I disagree. Speaking specifically about "War in the Pocket", the story was made for character development. The main character is a boy and in the 6 episodes, there are 4 mobile suit battles, all rather short. The writers would have to be idiots for Alfred not to be changed by his experience. I'm not saying they didn't do a great job but the setting & premise lent themselves to character development.
@TekkaSage
yes mk 2 didn't have any gundarium, could be due to high cost of putting it on a ms. mk2 is still awesome slightly based on rx-78 series, but that's where the similarities end. mk2 series was huge upgrade in performance, firepower and electronics.
Me too :(
It is 3:40 in the afternoon and I’m crying do you think it was okay for you to upload this to TH-cam?
because he fights for zeon
at the same time he doesn't want "innocent" people die
@TekkaSage
lunar titanium alloy was renamed to gundarium later on, check zeta. gundanium is from wing, but its later revealed to be Lunar Titanium alloy. there fore connecting UC with AC. gundanium = gundarium = lunar titanium alloy.

@dchris1990
Have you watched this video? Bernie didn't want to do what you suggested because it would have been the easy way out. He said he didn't want to avenge his unit but finishing the mission for them had to have played in part in his subconscious reasoning(that he admitted to not understanding) for wanting to fight the Gundam.
bernie died a tragic death...sigh..
BEEERRRRRNNNNIIIEEEEEE!!!!
Ya it never came out here to to copy right issues however there is an fan translation out there. Though it's old in several other games you can save Bernie too. :D Normally he does end up with Chris as her boyfriend. >D
rip
@BlackDeathViral03 so true by far Bernie's one of my most favorite characters screw those seed, wing characters Bernie's more human and fleshed out more than all of them combined
This anime destroyed me.
I’ll never eat a hamburger again 😭
@octoslut
I never said Bernie was a bad pilot but he sure as hell wasn't a good one. The guy was a green rookie who got shot down on his first mission. Yes, his Zaku was inferior to the Alex but Bernie simply didn't have the piloting skills to prolong the battle.
such a tragedy.
though Bernie lives in some g generation games. you can use him as a pilot xD

@Ginga
true
@dchris1990
You do realize this was towards the end of a WAR right? In war, soldiers fight and people get killed. YOU may rather be a coward but that Bernie didn't want to be a coward and fought when he didn't have to is what makes him such a great character.
why is everyone saying this is metal gear? i dont see it.
The guy who voices Bernie is the same man who voices Solid snake
omg seriously??????????????????/ THATS INSANE OMGGGGG
Orange Fender
Yup ikr lol
David Hayter himself
THATS SO FUCKING AMAZING DUDE!
@octoslut It goes to show you strategy and tactics can really make the difference. The gundam definitely out classed the Zaku Kai in every way however, I just like to point out that the Alex is made of a lunar titanium alloy and not gundarium. You're thinking of Gundam Wing.
Metal Gear?!?
yeah, it's obvious that david hayter voices bernie.
@Ginga
from my point i would say bernie > chris. she relied on the gundam too much. zaku wasn't just inferior it was a big difference between them, gundam was way faster, more powerful and had extremely strong armor aka gundarium for zaku's weapon to beat.
nobody hates this ova they mate hate almost everything of gundam even the original but never this ova.
