[Mobile Suit Gundam] I think about it again, but what is this mask of Char’s anyway?

Japan Otaku Reviews+

Theme song: Kenshi Yonezu “Plazma”

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because my eyesight is bad.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

Because there is a wound.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are various reasons, but…

What is this design?

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

Well, I can compromise on the mask, but the problem is that helmet.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

>>4

Kicilia is probably wearing something similar, so it must be military equipment or something like that…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

But it was because we had that helmet that the head design of the Sazabi was finalized…

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

I hope at least you won’t make it sharp, said the people around.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was because of color distortion with the origin, so I wore sunglasses, but my colleague thoughtfully made a mask like the one in the picture since it would be dangerous on the battlefield.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is added under the excuse of assisting with visual impairments in Origin.

It shouldn’t have been particularly in the first place.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is the discipline of the Zeon army like?

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Even if you say, “What is this design?”, it’s a tradition that has been going on since Raideen…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Origin puts on a visor to hide the color of his eyes, just to maintain a certain level of consistency.

After all, the helmet is too flashy.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I always think that the position of the eyes seems off, doesn’t it?

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

It’s an opinion I’ve never seen before.

Is that so?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

The helmet is similar to the one Kycillia wears, so it must be military equipment.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Machu only said it was a weird mask, so he might be used to helmets.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>15

Well, it’s probably a modified helmet from the Aregion army.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

The helmet worn by the country’s leader… In that world, it seems likely that future generations will associate it with Kshyria.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Everyone talks about masks, but what about glasses…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

What’s up with Kassilia hiding her face like a beast?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

The maiden’s heart concerned about her cheekbones.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>18

Actually, I’ve switched places with Sasuro.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

There must be some meaning in the Zionism design, it’s similar to Kshiry.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can you be a pilot with vision problems?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like Norris in ’08 also wore a similar helmet when he first appeared.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not really there, but they’re getting by with the excuse that they have top-level skills.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

If you’re saying “mask” in the sense of a disguise, then it’s not strange.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The helmet that Char wears is an improved version of the one used by the regular Zeon soldiers.

The corners that were modified look strange.

They’re putting strange horns on the pai-suu…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

In the Quacks world, they consistently ride around in military uniforms… it’s not like they’re Dren…

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>27

Because there’s no Lalah asking me to wear the normal suit…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kishiria is also wearing it, right?

>>24

You’re wearing it too, right, Seema?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>31

In other words, isn’t it that both Lady Kyshiria and Seema have changed?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I would have liked you to at least take off your helmet.

and

Sharia Blue is saying.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Is Zumu City really going to have that design after all?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

It looks strange when paired with a mask, but that’s what helmets are like in Zeon, right?

Why isn’t this guy wearing a pilot suit?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the original Raideen should be remade because people who don’t know about robot anime before Gundam may get confused.

I wonder if people think I’m just a copy of Char.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

The overall character context is that of robot anime from that time, isn’t it?

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

As you can see, it’s a soldier.

It’s often made fun of, but aside from the colors and the mask, it’s just a regular uniform for Zeon Army officers, so that’s a bit frustrating.

Well, even just the colors and the mask still seem strange…

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Most people wear helmets, so it’s normal in the context of Zeon.

The mask is said to be for hiding scars because the Zeon soldier who saw my true face is rumored to say there are no burns.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I thought I could tell the rank by the corners of the helmet, but there are generals who don’t have corners, and I hardly see anyone else wearing the red uniform. Who is this guy?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is that long gun?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

I wonder if it has a silencer attached.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

Do I need a silencer for the laser gun…?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t that corner dangerous when operating in zero gravity?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

If there are no corners to hit, it doesn’t matter.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>43

Well, it probably won’t hit the Colonel…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

Tying my shoes and standing up, it feels like I’m going to get hurt.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I want to see Machu, who was invited to Side 3, looking at Zuum City and thinking, “What is this…?”

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>41

Even if people say that Zeon folks have bad taste, it seems like the green uncle would just reply, “Yeah.”

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>42

I don’t have any good memories with the Zabi family.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

That horn on that helmet is also on the Sazabi, so it probably has quite a significance within Zeon.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>44

On the contrary, the breast-plate has become ordinary!

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

It seems that the most luxurious and smart items were from the One Year War.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

It’s real how every faction’s budget is getting tighter and tighter…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

The ones after Z are fluffy and have tanks on their backs, so in terms of mobility, they are the best made.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, even though Dozle is more important, his helmet is just ordinary… it has some weird spikes on the shoulder though.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Not just the mask, but the outfit is also crazy.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Perhaps even with a high rank, there is no obligation to wear it.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ace is probably allowed to stand out to some extent by wearing a flashy outfit for morale boosting or something like that.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are hardly any members of the Zabi family who always wear a helmet, except for Kishiria…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Huh, is a new Char coming out?

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>56

It won’t come out.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was told by Kicilia’s subordinate that there are no rumors of injuries, so I was making excuses like that to those around me.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, since the One Year War was basically a total war, if they had maintained their military equipment back then, that would have been even worse.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is there some relation to the similarity in design with Gundam?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t there hardly anyone with a mask like Kshyria’s, except for Chronocle?

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I thought the normal suit from the One Year War was oddly thin, but it turns out that was the most advanced technology at the time…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Casval! I modified the headgear for the lunaball to create a mask for you!

With this, no one will find out that you are Casval! Isn’t it amazing, Casval!!

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>66

Whether it’s avenging the Zabi family or living in seclusion, I have to eliminate this loose tongue.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

(I have to kill…)

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

In the original work, he simply made a mask for a classmate, but ended up dying due to unnecessary actions that were added.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought this person would pilot a Gundam because they looked kind of like a Gundam when I was a kid.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>71

I never thought the day would come when that prediction would actually come true…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

It’s not just limited to anime; there have been times in the past when I participated.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Strange mask

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Metaphorically speaking, I think it simply follows the line of Prince Sharkin.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like the Gundam-like design has been intentionally included.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it just the eye part that looks like Ultra Seven?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the past, helmets also had horns, and they were a way to express individuality and make them recognizable, so historically speaking, it probably isn’t such an odd story.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

You have horns with twin eyes, right?

This is a Gundam.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>78

Moreover, it can control brain waves.

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Before the active period during the Reum era, the white helmet didn’t have the hexagonal shape and horns, so you couldn’t get the horns unless you advanced in rank, right?

What kind of army is that?

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>79

It’s like a stupid place where they put horns on the commander’s machine.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>82

One of the generals, a gorilla-like guy, has spikes growing from his shoulders. That’s just a minor detail, a minor detail.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

If there were weirder things, it wouldn’t be a trivial matter.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

Before World War I, there was a culture of wearing flashy helmets to the extent of becoming a general, so it might be imitating that.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think it’s stupid that it looks like your view is really obstructed.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Machu said it was a weird mask, so I was relieved that it felt strange even in that world.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

Someone wearing a similar mask gets told by a younger boy, “Take off your mask when you talk to people.”

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

At first glance, you’d think it’s ridiculous, something like that.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>96

In a world with countless designs that seem ridiculous at first glance, you might think it’s considered normal by the standards of the Universal Century, right?

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>100

The person wearing something that looks like the head of a weapon is a weird person, right?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

Because no one had pointed it out in the work until now.

Is it me that’s strange for watching? Am I an old type drawn by the gravity of the Earth? That’s what I was thinking.

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think it’s questionable to wear a helmet with protrusions without securing it with a chin strap in a zero-gravity environment where everything could float away carelessly.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>85

It sounds like something that would happen in Space Battleship Tiramisu…

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

Speaking of which, there is a straightforward joke about Gundam.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bit late for this, but what was the excitement like when Char’s Counterattack was released?

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

Huh… Ah… Hmm…? That’s how it feels.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

Let’s go see SD Gundam!

A very small number of people were passionately arguing that you could tell if you looked at it twice.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

One of those very few people is Oshii…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

My sister, who was chasing after Gundam from the start for Char, said this slicked-back hairstyle is just ridiculous.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Char’s mask was relatively well-defined in The Origin.

Isn’t there a reason given for the interior design of the Zeon public office and the Musai’s bridge?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like that spiky gorilla; it feels like the Zeta Gion alien.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

For a while, I think Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack was often regarded more as a misguided work than a masterpiece.

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>103

To be honest, I still think it’s a masterpiece.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The original inspiration for Zeon, the Nazis, also placed importance on appearance.

Zion just went in a weird direction, but altering appearances is something that often happens in reality.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

It was so focused on looking cool that it became too impractical on the battlefield and quickly fell out of use.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Izubuchi: “Anno-kun! You have to watch this twice!”

Anno: “Really? It was true.”

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>105

Anno creating a doujinshi that includes an interview with the director due to becoming too obsessed.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Even though it’s a rather indecisive ending, the moment the intro of the TM song plays, it honestly feels like it’s all over, like magic.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even the Legend of the Galactic Heroes in a super future will have fashion like that of the Prussian era.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it when my eyes get bigger when I’m surprised.

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This mask is quite expressive, isn’t it?

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anno-kun has been promoting IGLOO a lot since then, and he loves Gundam too much…

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

But I’m criticizing Salamis for its strange movements.

Well, that was clearly a strange movement.

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>115

It’s not like it’s a fighter jet, right…?

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>118

It’s disappointing that Imanishi-san wants to swing the camera around like in cell animation and send big ships flying too.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

Around the IGLOO, my ally Mr. Debuchi is also involved…

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it hard to see while simply wearing this mask?

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Gundam-san Episode 1 is on YouTube’s Ganchan, but it’s currently not available for streaming, so there are almost no ways to watch it… Well, I was surprised just that it got animated back then.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t fully understand it except through the game, but I love the mobile suits that appear in Char’s Counterattack…

It feels like a proper progression of the technology up to now.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You know that Char and Kycilia were hinting at each other with matching helmets, right?

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When comparing the first generation and Zikaax, it’s hilarious to see that the helmet’s horns have become more subdued.

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

By the way, I wonder why they were so much faster only at that point when expressing battleships in CGI, even though it had been done a few years earlier in Igloo.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>122

It can only be thought that the person who got it moving made a mistake.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

The shape of the helmet also makes it resemble Gundam…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Someone who usually wears a mask is a weird person, isn’t it?

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I don’t really understand about the corners, but the shape of the helmet itself is quite similar to that of the Zeon soldiers, so it must be a supplied item.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bridge of the Char’s custom Musai is becoming more sophisticated year by year.

129: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Honestly, I think the helmet looks lame, but when I’m only wearing a mask without the helmet, I don’t look very strong, so it might be necessary to create an intimidating presence.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, when I got into the Zong, I was wearing normal clothes, but during the duel, I was in a normal suit. When did I change?

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>130

I change clothes when I switch to a different head.

“Tell me, Lalah, what should I do?” I said, feeling extremely anxious.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the early stages of Yamato 2199, it was often said that the movements of the ships were quite light.

The second half of the Seven Colors Star Cluster battle will be impressive.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>131

Speaking of which, KanToku-kun was also involved in the OP for 2199.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Igloo is the Gundam version of the battlefield manga series, so of course it will be appealing.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it was quite impossible for Sodun to carry out an assault landing with Zikax at such a speed and maneuverability.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>133

Isn’t it only after being able to do that much that you can call yourself an assault landing force?

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like Char’s mask extends over the band part, so it looks silly without the helmet.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>136

When considering something like an HMD, if there’s nothing on top, it will probably shift due to vibrations, but having hair split is really uncool.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wearing sunglasses and a strange mask might make you feel like you’re hiding your identity, but it’s funny that you can still be easily recognized.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>138

It’s just that Kishiria, the target of revenge, has figured it out normally…

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Come to think of it, I thought the helmet and mask were a set, but they are actually separate parts.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was the mask fixed with some kind of cross thing?

144: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Wearing a helmet with this mask on a normal suit must be really difficult.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

The frontal mask doesn’t have a head belt.

No matter how many times it’s remade, Char’s belt never goes away.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the masks of Crusoe and Frontal are tied at the back of the head.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

The frontal one is made of a hard material that fits perfectly to the shape of the head.

There are scenes where she takes it off and puts it on the desk.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if people think Zeon is cool.

Or is it just still lame after all?

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unconsciously, I’m dressing in a fashion similar to the admired Kessilia…

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

I think it’s better hidden over there.

This guy has no intention of hiding.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Consider the feelings of those who make this custom order.

Also, the feeling of going out of my way to paint it red.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

At a glance, being able to tell who is important or strong is essential in an organization where countless people belong.
