Uso is the most based Gundam protag

>>13794152
I think Uso actually does have more MS kills than any other Gundam protag, but I might be forgetting someone? He is most certainly in the top 10 though.

SOMEONE has to have that list on hand.

>>13794136
Uso is a complete badass and still a great guy by the end of the series. I loved it.
Those battle bikes are actually invincible. PRESSING OUT THE EARTH


>tfw no HGs of most Zanscare MS, those that do exist are ancient.
I will never not be sad.

>>13794206
He has the largest number of kills if you factor in that time he fired the Keilas Guille and wiped out that Zanscare Fleet.

>>13794233
He must have literally killed like 1000 people in that fleet.

>>13794233
last time someone bothered to count, Usso has the 2nd most on screen kills of any Gundam protagonist after Trowa. However thats only against MS, no way to count fatalities in sunk warships or weird things like Keilas Guille or Fifth Luna.

>>13794254
Zanscare MS are too buggy

>>13794224
>>13794254
Jesus god I'm watching Victory right now, too, and I absolutely love everything about the Zanscare units, they're just the most unique designs in Gundam until Turn A.
The hanger-boots suits take the Bawoo's concept and rework it into a more versatile unit, the Einerad-compatible suits are genius, and the motorcycle battleships are all-terrain and insane. I'm a Zanscare-suit fanboy, now.

All of them died. Then new people joined. Then they died too.

>>13795248
I should have waited for the BDs before watching.

>>13795186
Can you even imagine what's actually in that? The trauma to the human head in that helmet must have turned it into skull and brain taco. It's just scrambled meat in there, the fucking waste product from a slaughterhouse. And he just holds it up to everyone.

>>13794152
The thing about Setsuna is that he killed almost no one in S1.

Why didn't MSs have frontal screens with rear view again?

>>13798445
They do, but they're not in the core fighter, because fuck you.

>>13798555

it's just funny because even modern economy cars can have reverse cameras

>>13798595
That would have blown people's fucking dicks off in 1993.

>>13798610

yeah but there have been sub cameras and panoramic cockpits before victory, it was just a dumb idea that didn't really make sense

>>13798666
Panoramic cockpits have been in fighters since like the 30s.

>>13798666
I think the G-Defenser had a panoramic cockpit, but I feel like that would have been an animation error, it just doesn't make sense for it to have one.

>>13799001
360 degree panoramic cockpits with miniature screens of any angle popping up on pilot's demand? Because they can pull up shots of whatever they want in Zeta

>>13799349

>>13794136
Fucking underrated, its high class tomino when he knew how to write war. Its only because people cant handle it that it has a bad name. All the deaths feel very dramatic and real, gets under your skin at how unimportant humans are in war. It was too much for japan.

>>13804862
If Victory had shading I seriously think it would be remembered on the same level as Zeta, or at least ZZ. Personally I like it better than the two for entirely subjective reasons but otherwise it has just as many/few flaws as any other part of the full-length UC series.

>>13795466
Man like the tanned one with orange hair lasted so fucking long. She was my Shrike team waifu.

Did they ever touch on whether Usso was a new type of not? If not, than damn, he was the most based pilot ever of anything. Also take into consideration V gundam's cockpit which is as old school as fuck without means of channeling your faggo new type shit to get hack kills.

>>13806647
Its considered that he is a Newtype.

>>13794136
It's not dark. It's hamfisted nonsense. Even Tomino hates it.

>>13806664
>Tomino hates it.

Kafka hated The Metamorphosis, what's your point?

>>13806664
Tomino never said he hated it, he hated how bandai shat on him and he hated how depressed he was. Yet in the end it became a really good dark gundam show that he use to do. He just actually did blu ray for it.

>>13806309
I hate hearing his rangeless, voice everywhere, I don't even watch many dubs but he has the same voice every time. I wouldn't call him bad but he isn't worth the amount of parts he gets. Not that any anime dub regulars are.

>>13798595
>>13798610
They didn't need them in 1993 because csrs still had windows instead of gunslits.

You disgust me, he's always going to be Kai Shiden the role he did first.

>>13806716
I think I started watching Toonami after MS:G had failed off of Cartoon network. So, yeah, never really watched the dub.

>>13797889
>who wants some chili?

>>13806685
I thought it was bandai pushed him into having more time in space when he wanted more of the show to be on earth like 0079.

>>13806273
I said "MS kills", not battleships. And if we count those, we count Keilas Guille.

>>13807070
Uh, wasn't 0079 the opposite of that? He wanted space but was forced into some Earth parts?

>>13807314
0079 got really good for me once they got back into space, with the action quality jumping up and the story getting into the more psychedelic aspects of the Newtypes. But I feel like Victory was better when they were on Earth, since they had the atmospheric combat that focused on using beam rotors, and the bizarre designs of the Adrastea/etc. The Einrads worked a lot better in gravity.

>>13806689
>Noriko Wakamoto does the same voice for evey character ever
>weebs worship him

>>13806708
I love that dweeb's stupid sarcastic voice.

>>13807434
I liked a lot of the space designs, and I really don't see why people make a big deal out of the Motorads, I think they're pretty cool. Just take a battleship and slap wheels on it, and you've got a massive fucking tank like vehicle.

>>13807450
The difference being that Wakamoto is actually a good VA. Not everyone watches anime for the "Hahah xDD so wacky and stupid English dub this is hilarious hahhaha"

I'm a big fan of the Shokew we see at the start of the series. It has the essence of what makes the Zanscare suits so distinctive, without being too wacky and complex.

>>13797969
My favorite was Francesca O'Hara. There's something about her voice I like. And she's the star of one of my favorite scenes, when she's zoning out on Üsso's shield in the middle of a battlefield, in Episode 42.

>Do you know what we're talking about?
No, that's why I'm asking questions.

I said "HD rerelease" meaning something that re-animates huge bulks of the series. I was responding to an anon who said Victory would be as popular as Zeta or ZZ if it had shading. Then an anon replies saying the BDs are out. Based on the context, I thought the anon was implying the BD release took care of the shading issue. I found that hard to believe, so I asked if it changed the shading, expecting the answer to be "no."

I don't know what term I should've used besides "HD rerelease."

>>13808021
Two dumbs don't make a smart.

>>13808021
You made a mistake anon, that's fine so go and check out the BD releases here.

Only the first four volumes are done so far by RX-78-2 (EG).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to think Gym can trace his symbolic lineage back to Hangelg Ewin, and that other guy. (Of course we should all remember than jahannam is a real-life Arabic word, so its use in G-Reco doesn't need any such explanation.) The name of the Keilas Guile survived to the Correct Century, so why not Jinn Jahannam.

Actually, Jahannam is the deepest part of hell in Islam. It has nothing to deal with Gym or Jim. Wikipedia it.

>>13808682
Not sure if it's ever been alluded to before but in the last Origin there's a side-story involving Kai and Sayla and she mentions that the relief organization that she works with found Miharu's rugrats and is making sure they are taken care of.

>>13810011
The word "jahannam" probably has nothing to do with Gym, we're just having fun there, but Jinn (not Jim) Jahannam did intentionally pick that Arabic word for his codename. I think Üsso translates "jinn" and "jahannam" around the time he meets the body double and gets salty about his missing father, can't remember the specific episode.

You shouldn't need to dodge a warning shot, because a warning shot is something you shoot close to someone, not actually at them presuming that they'll dodge it. If you're shooting at them, it's just a shot.

There's a warning shot were youfire wildly away from them.

Then there is the Uso warning shot were you try to clip their wings a little bit but they end up flying into it.

You know Double-Fake: Under the Gundam? I've seen things suggesting that a side story to that manga, something called Almarya, is set in 0179. Hard to imagine how a story set just before CCA could be connected to something on the centennial anniversary of the OYW.
