I've been watching G Gundam and it's amazing, then I saw this thing which threw me off for a bit. Like for most of the Gundams, national stereotype edition, I can see where they got the stereotype, but for Neo Malaysia, why the skull?
>>15331562
Actually it was supposed to be Neo-Vietnam and the pilot was gonna be Mark Wahlberg but they changed it at the last second
>>15331562
I'll bet a handful of G Gundam suits were designed first and they decided on a country later.
>>15331562
the same reason why Neo-Sweden's gundam a japanese schoolgirl. They don't know shit
though if I were to pull a reasoning out my ass it has to be because of Borneo. they don't know shit.
Sabah+Sarawak is part of Borneo
Borneo=land of the headhunters+ oogabooga people.
and the Bam! Skull gundam.
...or the makers just watched a few episodes of Kaiketsu Harimao and just decided to roll with the depictions of Malayans there as a base for the gundam

I can buy the headhunter justification.
Singapore, though, like what the fuck went down? I'm not even mad, I just have no idea why Ashura Gundam comes from Singapore.
Wouldn't Neo India be more easily identifiable by the general audience?
>>15331628
>Borneo=land of the headhunters+ oogabooga people.
Sampit is not the majority of Borneans m8000.
Most of us are just Coco oil's farmers, Woodsmens and Fishermens.

tell that to Brooke
>>15331690
Fuck I only just remembered Neo India has the Cobra Gundam.
What was the Italian gundam supposed to represent anyways?

Brooke can eat shit

some Roman gladiator douchebag

Maybe the designer went to Singapore and toured the Hindu temples or something.
Why was Japan's Gundam God Gundam when they aren't even Christians?
>>15332710
Because it has that country's god imagery with the giant glowing ring behind it, and because it juxtaposes with the Devil Gundam.
>>15331628
I thought Nobel Gundam was going to be a Japanese Gundam, but the sponsors thought that hit too close to home so they made it into Neo Sweden instead?
マレーシアは髑髏がお似合いだからだろ
It's because Malaysia is a shithole
>>15331628
> imply that Borneo will ever get any form of recognition from filthy West Peninsular, where they cling to them & hog Borneo's natural resources for their own Kleptocracy
skull means dead & Malaysia is a dead land.
>>15331698
>Sampit
it's Sumpit, you twat.
>>15337413
this. THIS.Malaysia's formation is a grave mistake
Because the two Gundams in that episode were designed by kids as part of a antional contest, Imagawa picked them to be animated because he liked them I guess, the country's they represent weren't important. It's brought up on the DVD interviews.
The other national stereotype Gundams all make sense to me except for Neo-Portugal. What particular national stereotype of Portugal involves clowns? Peri-peri chicken, yes, I'd expect a Nando's Gundam, but why clowns? Is it because Japan's first ever exposure to clowns came via Portugal from the Jesuit priests who opened trade relations there?
>>15331628
>the same reason why Neo-Sweden's gundam a japanese schoolgirl
Because it's easier than trying to design a gundam around a cuckshed.
>>15337790
Everyone in Portugal is a clown, don't try to trick us, Mr Portugalesian.
>>15331562
Ashura and Skull Gundam were both winners of a character design contest.
>>15337404
Looks like it should be a still from lolicatgirls.swf
Is there a missing episode with Neo-Finland's Gundam that looks hyper-realistic and foretells celebrity deaths? Because I can't believe there's no Neo-Finland representative.

>it's Sumpit, you twat.
>Don't know about Sampit tragedy.
