[Mobile Suit Gundam] When I watch scenes of naval battles in Gundam, I can’t help but think that they seem bad for the environment.

Japan Otaku Reviews+

When the beam hits the water, it seems that the surrounding seawater will boil and many fish will die.

The image in the thread is random.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

So that’s why Char tried to annihilate humanity from Earth?

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

The broken MS will become the fish’s house…

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

>>2

It seems that water pollution caused by broken MS is serious.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

All the works are already broken before they even start.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I sometimes think that the debris in space battle scenes looks pretty bad…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s why underwater Zakus that can be used for removing and investigating various things in the sea are highly valued.

Even if it has good performance, the Z’Gok is dead because it lacks versatility.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

During the F91 era, there were people who were saying that the earth would die unless we reduced the human population by 90% due to severe environmental pollution.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how they’re dealing with debris without something like a Star Trek deflector.

In G-Reco, everyone was cleaning together.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>8

Wasn’t what Banaji was doing with the Petit Mobile unrelated to debris…?

I remember it quite vaguely.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>10

In the original work, it’s a part-time job for debris collection.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

The employer seems to be Bukh.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>8

There are debris cleaning companies like Buffo.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the V era, when people disappeared from Earth, environmental recovery finally began.

It was depicted in the novel that it was still just the beginning.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

The depiction of performing debris modification work after the battle is something we didn’t see in previous Gundam series.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dropping Axis to restore the Earth’s environment feels like a silly idea, doesn’t it?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

I’m not really thinking about changing the world or anything…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

I’m talking about an ideal 100 years after people have disappeared from Earth.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

In that all-back hairstyle’s ideology, it doesn’t matter how long it takes for the Earth to fully recover; humanity will not return, regardless of whether it takes thousands of years.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

Even if a nuclear winter occurs temporarily, if humans don’t interfere, it should recover in about 100 years, I don’t know though.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

To be frank, I think Neo Zeon is seriously considering dropping a dinosaur extinction-level asteroid or something like that, but I just can’t say it out loud. And it’s a clear setting that Char is only interested in fighting Amuro.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>28

We have to atone for the Earth! It’s not just about fighting Amuro because I’m crying; we must also think about that too.

I think that the concept of atonement is quite different from the sense of environmental restoration that humans on Earth have.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>13

The Axis drop is primarily to kill, expel, and make it impossible for the inhabitants of Earth to live there (in the long term, environmental recovery is also included).

The plan was to detonate the large number of nuclear bombs carefully stolen from Luna II simultaneously with the drop of Axis, scattering radiation.

So midway, Amuro destroys the ship loaded with nuclear bombs and says, “If it explodes here, it will contaminate the Earth!”

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t V about Earth? Is that a colony?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember feeling scared that it would collapse from the water pressure… but what was that about?

Goon?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

Is it Gaioron?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

Wasn’t there a scene like that in Sambo?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t MS basically a nuclear engine?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the future, fisheries will be over and it will all be aquaculture, right?

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>17

In the era of V, there are normally fishing villages.

Well, I guess it won’t be possible until we reach that era when the sea has somewhat recovered.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s no depiction of the Earth’s environment recovering even after the Axis was dropped.

At least until the F91 era, it kept getting worse, and we had to go around killing humanity.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

Because I failed.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

The reason for the partial recovery in the V era is that the population on Earth has dramatically decreased due to the Earth Federation’s base moving to the Moon.

The problem is indeed human beings.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that even in the real world wars there would be considerable environmental pollution, but mobile suits are equipped with fusion reactors…

It’s different from a splitting reactor, but it can’t be said to have zero contamination.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like it’s fine as long as the destination is Seiryaku or Riguild, but…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, the sea contaminated by nuclear waste is a mountain of corpses and smells.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

That really surprised even Shakti and the others in some parts.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

From a meta perspective, it’s probably an issue of plot convenience or appearance, but don’t use a fusion reactor that detonates upon being hit by a beam in a combat MS.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Minovsky particles, which generate repulsive force just by emitting electricity, seem to have negative environmental impacts as well, but that doesn’t get mentioned much.

Is it pretty clean around there?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

Because the particles are so small that they do not interfere with matter, they diffuse quickly, and the effects disappear rapidly.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anyway, the idea is to drive humans out of Earth, so we will not consider the damage to Earth.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’re free, huh?

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>33

By sneering like that, I ended up having to reset the Moonlight Butterfly or become a cannibal with the Kuntala…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, the idea of dropping Axis is a foolish thought, so when it actually seemed like it might happen, Neo Zeon desperately started trying to stop it.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that the solar ray is visible because debris along the beam is burning, and I thought it was filled with trash.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

In the realm of novels, if wars are fought excessively, the universe becomes filled with trash and dust.

As a result, there are descriptions that the laser is clearly visible or the Earth looks hazy.

There are lines, even from Amuro, that indicate we have polluted space.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s a matter of several thousand years in terms of Earth’s environmental regeneration.

I don’t understand what the difference is between humans destroying the Earth and Axis doing it.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

If we kick humans off the Earth right now, everything will work out somehow! Perfect!

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Iron Blood is firing live rounds, so the debris must be incredible.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

The technology level for Mars terraforming and the base is significantly higher than that of the Universal Century, so it seems like anything is possible.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

Honestly, after writing this, I thought that the MS and battleships are also incredibly tough and with things like nanolaminate coating, maybe it will be fine…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t play Lohengrin on Earth because it’s bad for the environment!

Since it’s a sequel, we improved that part, so feel free to go ahead!

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard you can eat zakus.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I recently thought while watching on Abema that the one where the Earth’s environment is most messed up is G Gundam.

After seeing that, looking at the Earth feels normal and reassuring.

Although X has experienced a lot of colony drops, Earth seems pretty normal, right?

G is terrible.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

The reason the Earth environment in Gundam X doesn’t seem that bad is probably because it has a world view like that of Zambungle.

The people living here have amazing vitality and don’t have any appearance of gloom at all.

The only element that makes you feel this world is crazy is the narration scene at the beginning.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you keep ignoring environmental destruction and continue to fight, the Earth might turn into a ring or we might end up needing an ultimate Gundam.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

In that world, cultured meat seems to be the main focus, like regular meat.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

I wonder where I heard that being wealthy is a status symbol for living on Earth…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

Since a high-ranking official from the federation said, “I can’t understand how those who eat synthetic meat feel,” it seems that synthetic meat is central for the common people.

The meat of the Titans’ burgers at Z is said to be chicken.

It seems that there are also non-synthetic meats such as pork among the supply materials for the Argama in ZZ.

In the novel F91, it seems that freezing technology has advanced, so frozen foods are widespread.

In the novel Belchill, Amuro’s favorite food is frozen strawberries.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

In that world, the level of radiation contamination that makes it uninhabitable for humans also seems to have led to the extinction of the flora and fauna needed for environmental recovery.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

If the environmental recovery function is dead at that level, we should really have people intervene to restore the environment…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, in the Universal Century, the propellant for bullets is still gunpowder, right?

Since nuclear fusion reactors are in practical use, I think electricity is really cheap, but it probably won’t turn into electric pistols after all.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you make too much of the content in anime about environmental issues…

It will end up being like the anime created by Soka Gakkai.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

With something like G-Savior, there’s a food crisis.

I heard that it was crazy enough to be able to do Kuntala before G-Reco.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that there’s a trend among otaku to think that being serious about environmental issues is uncool.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Minovsky particles have any pollution or not.

It might cause not only simple environmental pollution but also spatial anomalies.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

There’s no denying that Newtypes, referred to as superhumans, are said to be a new species born from minofin contamination.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Even when adapting environmental issues into an anime, subtlety is important.

If you make that the main focus, it will just turn into a preaching anime.

What was it again? I thought there was an anime called “Earth Girl Arjuna” by Kawamori.

That had such a strong message that it wasn’t interesting as an anime at all.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

From there, reflect and stop being preachy directly.

The one that probably took its playful antics seriously is Aquarion.

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>67

Aquaerion was also a hidden environmental issues anime…

But it seems important to deliver entertainment that doesn’t make you feel that way at first glance.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the world of Gundam, the space technology is surprisingly less developed compared to other sci-fi.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

It’s a world view where you can’t leave the Earth sphere because there are no warp systems.

Well, it’s at a level where you could use technology like G-Gundam to quickly go to outer space, but we’re still staying in the solar system.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

Sometimes I fly to other planets, but most stories end up surrounding the Earth and the Moon.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

They said that natural beef steak is a luxury item at Sentinel.

It seems that they are giving the pilots preferential treatment when it comes to food.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

No regeneration without purification.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

G Gundam is supposed to be quite entertaining.

Recently, there seems to be an increase in impressions that the worldview is too hopeless.

Can you let go towards the future? In this desperate world?

It feels like opinions like that are coming out because the mindset of the viewers is leaning in that direction.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

The aftermath of G Gundam depicted in the 30th anniversary web novel was truly nothing short of hell…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

Domon and Rain getting divorced.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>87

That novel really did unnecessary things, didn’t it?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

Since a clearly understandable enemy called Devil Gundam has appeared, we have come together.

At the same time, each country still secretly possesses weapons and there are still sparks of conflict, and the global environment has not improved at all.

Just because Domon’s personal problems have been resolved, it doesn’t mean the situation on Earth has improved at all…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s basically only as far as between the Earth and the Moon, let alone within the solar system.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you look at Gundam from its foundation, it seems outlandish, but the worldview is despairing and the story is quite full of a sense of tragedy, especially in G.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

The Gundam Union gathered from all over the world confronts Devil Gundam! They were mobilizing while saying things like “Gundam Fight, Ready, Go!”

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the Earth’s environment is important, but…

I wonder if there’s anything we can do, even though it’s a global phenomenon.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, I remember there was a discussion about how the Witch of Mercury initially lives in the Mercury orbit…

The difficulty is extremely high…

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is G-Reco the only one set in the solar system?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s made from bio-material, so it’s edible.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of Cosmic Era, positron beams from Archangels and the like contaminate the surrounding area with radiation, and since the thrust is from nuclear pulses, they are already scattering a tremendous amount of radiation just by flying…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

In UC, Jamitov was relatively early on thinking, “Isn’t the Earth’s environment going to be a problem at this rate?” but the methods for improving the environment are ridiculously beyond just brute force…

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>86

Humans must go into space… Ah, they ran away halfway!!!

Because it’s the beginning of the Universal Century.

Everyone ends up here.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

Since nobody cares about the environment anyway, wasn’t it ultimately correct to make a mess of it?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the C.E world, a large-scale nuclear war had already occurred in the previous century before the story, resulting in widespread genetic abnormalities, so it seems there are no “naturals” who are completely unaltered, as contemporary humans have undergone genetic medical treatments to varying degrees.

Futile!

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Humanity in the Universal Century has excessive reproductive power.

Is there no entertainment other than sex?

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

At the start of the 1st, half of the total population should be wiped out…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

The G-Gundam world has such incredibly advanced technology that there seems to be an endless supply of troublesome stories.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not the sea, but the scene of nature being destroyed and animals suffering due to the Jaburo descent of Z is quite memorable.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t want to live in an environment where peeling off one layer of the colony’s outer wall reveals a world of death beyond it!

I want to be on Earth! At least terraform Mars!

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I realized that the total number of humanity had become half, there were refugees, and it seems like the number of humans has increased again, what’s going on in the Universal Century?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are discussions that wild animals, which usually do not live long enough to be affected, are less impacted by radioactive contamination, while humans, who want to live long despite the contamination, are the ones who face difficulties.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ecosystem is probably changed at the point where the colony has been dropped.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

The change in rotational speed is quite irreparable, isn’t it?

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Minister of Health should have danced a dance promoting contraception to the citizens of the Earth Federation…

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you say something like “the soul is drawn by gravity” or so,

Poison gas was dumped into the colony, or it was dropped onto Earth.

It’s scary to think that such events happen with considerable frequency in the world, isn’t it?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the surgery for the restoration of the Earth’s environment is successful, there are too many people who wouldn’t care if the patients, the citizens, die.

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

X is depicted with wheat fields and dolphins swimming in the sea, so it feels like it has recovered quite a bit in 15 years after the war.

It seems like some things are already over.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

It is said that South America has completely gone down the drain.
