![]() Purely hypothetically, though, if civilians were to be killed in an operation that the Federation definitely isn’t deploying child soldiers in, then that would just be the acceptable cost of spreading democracy to the unruly Spacenoids, no? It Didn’t Actually Need Legs The Earth Federation and its military wing, the Earth Federation Space Force, is a righteous, democratic organization that would never field child soldiers, and would most definitely never ever make said child soldiers do war crimes. Char, on the other hand, is a deeply traumatized princeling who can’t put aside his lust for revenge for even five measly minutes.ĭoesn’t that sound like a great setup for a sitcom? Put these two in a show together, and when they’re not trying to kill each other the jokes practically write themselves. For her part, Haman is a genocidal pretender to the throne of Zeon, a false idol more interested in personal aggrandizement than true Spacenoid liberation. That’s sort of understandable, though, because they both come with a lot of baggage. ![]() It’s Not A Stable RelationshipĬhar and Haman can’t ever seem to get along. While it was previously theorized that the so-called “Axis Shock” was caused by resonating Psycho-Frames between mobile suits, experts now suggest that the event was triggered by a previously undetected force in the Earth Sphere - Family. ![]() This machine has been tentatively code-named the “FF-F7 Dodge” by EFSF analysts, with its pilot responding to the callsign “Toretto.” The official record won’t show this, but those with contacts in Federation intelligence are familiar with reports of an unknown individual piloting a never-before-seen mobile suit during the closing hours of the Second Neo Zeon War. ![]() Embrace the mustache, or be left behind! Never Leave Family Behind Those who belittle the Turn A’s spectacular arrangement of facial hair simply have their souls weighed down by gravity, and do not have the breadth of consciousness necessary to take humanity’s next evolutionary step. That’s a mustache that this guy is a fan of, clearly, and he’s right to do so. It’s also commonly cited as one of the silliest looking suits in the franchise, largely on account of its enormous, luxurious mustache. It combines awesome destructive power with operational versatility, befitting its legendary status. The titular Gundam of Turn A Gundam is one of the most powerful Gundam mobile suits in the franchise. The tragic rivalry between these two goofballs is what gives Gundam its emotional core, and as this meme illustrates, they only really differ in aesthetics. His eternal enemy, Amuro, is on the other hand much more forthcoming about having no idea what he’s doing. Char Aznable, the franchise’s cool, brooding, and mysterious antagonist, is in fact little more than a guy with pretty intense mommy issues, and a penchant for dropping rocks on Earth. Gundam creator and director of the first entry in the long Gundam watch order, Yoshiyuki Tomino, takes great joy in creating stories where basically everyone is an incompetent buffoon who can’t stop making things worse. Why drop a nuke when there’s a perfectly good colony waiting right there? Going further, why drop a colony when there’s an asteroid waiting to be nuked, then dropped? Space is full of opportunity. The array of objects waiting to be dropped on Earth are impressive as well. Of course, in the Gundam universe, a space object being dropped on Earth, killing billions in the process, seems to happen basically every other week. Operation British was the most important salvo undertaken during the first weeks of the One Year War, wherein Side 2 (a titanic space colony) was dropped directly on top of Sydney at terminal velocity. ![]() Everything is a laughing matter in the world of Gundam memes, but there is one thing that’s off the table - calling a mobile suit a “Transformer” is a bridge too far. The classic anime franchise Mobile Suit Gundam features weapons of mass destruction being used against civilians, basically every war crime in the books, and characters who tragically succumb to the psychological toll of unceasing warfare.īut as horrible as this all is, most Gundam fans think that it is all the height of comedy. ![]()
