I’m not very knowledgeable about Gundam, but MS already uses nuclear power since the Zaku.

Japan Otaku Reviews+

That means we should be able to operate for a long time even without much supply, right?

In that case, there must be those who have had tough missions without returning to their mothership or base for days, not even landing, or traveling around using their MS as a bed, but I have never seen one.

If it’s something an amateur would think of, someone has probably already thought of it and shaped it into a work, so please let me know if there are any relevant works.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Aggai North America Crossing 2250 Miles

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>1

That’s perfect! Thank you!

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s almost like they’re just waiting for the 08th Team and the Ambush Operation with the Apsalus.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the energy running out in the anime due to the weapons?

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>6

Yes.

There are types that are replenished externally and types that are charged internally.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

As long as there are propellants and food for the pilot, it is certain that the power can last for quite a long time.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if I can move, there are many necessary things like ammunition and propellants…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

Barbatos and letting out gas has become terrible.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t see much representation of things like being out of fuel and not functioning outside of series that involve that kind of narrative.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it because refueling is necessary due to factors other than power…?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if I want to travel long distances, the joints are the first to present issues.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even remnants without weapons can still operate MS properly, and maintenance seems to be easy.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I marched all day in a walking robot, my body would be in tatters.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

In long battles in Gundam, it’s mostly in space, so there’s no sense of day and night.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Machines deteriorate quickly if not maintained.

Especially the joints.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

The one from the Taklamakan Desert in 00 is nice, isn’t it?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

The GN guys have a way of solving even ammunition and propellants with powder, so they really give the impression of being able to operate alone for a long time.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

In space, MS encounters cooling issues.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

Valvrave was indeed groundbreaking, wasn’t it?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

The F91 prioritizes cooling, resulting in a sparse armor.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>60

It’s scary without the cockpit’s front armor…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

Well, since it’s small, there is a possibility of being out in one hit.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>64

It’s so fragile that it makes me sad even in Battle Operation…

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>64

Since I’ll die anyway if I get hit by the beam, I might as well shrink and avoid it.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>20

Because there is no air to conduct heat, it stays inside without going out.

As someone who has lived in the air for many years, it’s a bit hard to imagine sensibly, but

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

To vent heat, the shuttle will deploy the cargo bay, and the space station will extend its panels to expose the radiators.

In robot shows, the mechanisms like armor deployment and wing opening are not entirely unrealistic.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s not necessarily okay for a nuclear submarine to be out at sea for an extended period of time…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

Recently, a British submarine has been cruising for about 200 days.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

Thank you for your hard work.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

In fact, there are ships for the personnel on submarines to take vacations.

Well, the worst day is when the toilet’s stinky gas is released into the ship.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There is also talk of mountain-climbing Zaku in MS Generation.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if there is enough power to bend and stretch the limbs, a separate propellant is needed to boost.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if the machine has no problems, it’s often the human operating it who reaches their limits first.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems tough to be sitting continuously for a long-term operation.

I wonder how they’re doing with the restroom and such.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

I use things like toilet packs.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

In G-Reco, there’s a toilet in the cockpit, you know.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>28

The technology that compresses large amounts of water into a spherical shape is amazing, isn’t it?

I wonder if they are really using it skillfully or just moving the legacy around.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

In space, there is a problem with waste heat, so the mother ship needs specialized equipment (unlike a sphere-like craft without a reactor, which doesn’t require it), and I’m trying to remember whether this setting was official, semi-official, or just a fan’s delusion.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

It’s the setting of Gundam Century.

There are also works that adopt expressions in accordance with this.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The area around the ZZ desert was acting independently with just the Gundam squad, but that was because of ZZ’s weapons.

It may be because it is a type that is powered by energy supplied from an internal generator.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was mentioned that without a veteran pilot on 06R, you would quickly run out of propellant and be unable to move.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

ZZGR and just a bit of pushing with Quebley, and now I’m drifting in space…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

The V2, which has resolved the propellant issue, will continue to move as long as there is air.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

Speaking of which, I wonder how the oxygen supply inside the MS is doing.

I wonder if there are oxygen tanks installed somewhere.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

Since it’s a small spaceship, of course there would be oxygen tanks.

The oxygen in a normal suit will run out quickly.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I see, when it’s operational, the surface temperature of the armor gets quite serious.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

To move, you need propellant, and for the beam, you need Minos particles, so in fact, the action time may not change even with batteries.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>35

It has to be a super strong nuclear fusion reactor for the power to shoot beams.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>39

Isn’t it only a part of the main supply that fires the beam?

It seemed like there was something like an energy pack attached to the gun.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

The beam attached to the gun has been refined outside so that it does not need to be refined with the main body.

The launch also requires energy from the main body (it cannot be fired with just the gun).

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

A beam rifle requires ECAP equivalent to the projectile and power equivalent to gunpowder.

So the beam rifle also requires output from the generator.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

So, in order to enhance the output of the beam rifle in the mass-produced unit’s update, it’s necessary to modify the main generator as well…

There are some models with built-in generators, but those are generally aimed at high-end devices.

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>89

“I can’t use the beam saber and the beam rifle at the same time! That’s a problem.”

Well, unless you have quite an exceptional skill, such situations are rare, but you never know when the time might come.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

It’s the energy CAP that is packed just before it becomes a beam after adding a little more energy.

With this, beam weapons have become a size that can be carried by mobile suits.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

Beam weapons require a certain amount of output to operate.

If you’re lacking, it ends up being like a high sack where you can only hold one side.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I try to maneuver in space, I need propellant, and if I keep walking on the ground, my joints won’t hold up.

It’s impossible to carry out an operation solo, isn’t it?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Humans are not powered by nuclear energy.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you fight in a space without a sense of day and night, it can feel like such a long story, right?

Namek Saga and so on.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was good that the FZ upgraded the Zaku to have propulsion power comparable to that of the Gelgoog, but…

I remember there was a silly setting where the operating time was half that of the regular Zaku due to the unchanged load of the propellant.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

Having high thrust means that the output and propellant used for it will also be consumed accordingly.

If there is a technological gap of 10 or 20 years, that’s one thing, but the fact that an older model has performance that rivals the latest one suggests that there is some compromise somewhere.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like V2 was actually on a long-term mission, but what was the longest duration?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

Outframe is good too.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Actually, the ones that have been fighting for a really long time are Amuro from Char’s Counterattack, Uraki from Gundam 0083 who prevents the colony drop, and the final battle in Victory Gundam, I guess.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

Amuro in Char’s Counterattack is crazy because he’s been constantly fighting and then engages in the longest battle between mobile suits in history with Char.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

There were about two endurance tests in the 08 Team, right?

The first story is about getting scolded for coming home late, and the latter one is about Gundam just sitting there waiting for the enemy’s secret weapon, but the people inside start to mentally wear out first.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There is also a story where the top squad of 08 is escaping alone from Odessa and is worn out.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there was a Gouf that was wandering around, confused, when the Zeon remnants rose up in the Unicorn.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too terrifying to engage in close combat with nuclear-powered machinery.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s nuclear, it’s fusion-based…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

Well, there will be a nuclear explosion… I want to say, what does it mean for a nuclear fusion reactor to have a nuclear explosion?

Since it is clearly stated that it will be done, it can only be said that bipedal weapons are now established as such.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a mission, but Amuro ran away from home and was wandering around searching for himself, right?

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>57

A formidable technology that operates without issue even when buried in the desert.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

I wonder if sand got into the joints or something.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

I may have really troubled the maintenance team.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I just thought that it seems like it would take quite a while, probably causing some discomfort, for Freedom to come from the plant to Earth.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>58

Actually, it took three days to reach Alaska despite how it looks.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

Isn’t Freedom late!?

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>92

Since it is a mobile weapon, it is not assumed to move alone over extremely long distances…

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>92

It’s almost from the moon to the Earth.

As expected, Kira must have taken a break here and there.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

Even though the story progresses at a good pace with going up into space to play Accordo Bocco, they are quietly moving quite a substantial distance.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Of course, if you can’t use a camera, you won’t be able to see anything at all. Just the thought of it is scary.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

More importantly, is this way to Trinton Base correct?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

The one who was able to change their ways in the end.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

In later works with many guerrilla organizations, it might be different, but in the 1st series where regular armies are fighting each other, it seems there is little demand for maintenance-free long-term use MS from either the Federation or Zeon.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The variable MS is definitely getting caught in debris, and the variable parts are getting all messed up.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

I might be blowing air out of my whole body with an incredible force.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

The number of times you can transform in a single sortie is also limited.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

The maintenance soldiers must be struggling more than I can imagine…

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It seems that there are people who desperately crossed Australia in an online game.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

As expected, the propellant is probably the bottleneck.

It’s efficient because it’s using energy from nuclear fusion to propel it, but it’s still a consumable, so it will run out without resupply.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like there were quite a few scenes that took surprisingly long, even though it flows smoothly.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Then shoot with the gun you let go of.

Is it impossible to shoot someone else’s gun?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

It should be possible as long as there is a standard and it’s not locked.

I think he was using the beam naginata that Yazaan’s Gaplan picked up…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

Even if a Zaku takes away a saber, it quickly becomes unusable because there are no standards, but if the standards match, it can be used.

The ν Gundam is using the Gelgoog’s rifle after taking it.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>93

Both enemies and allies are using weapons from the same company… Curse you, merchant of death!

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>110

If there were no Anaheim, we would just have to make our own weapons and fight a war like in the One Year War.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

Even if the name Anaheim has become less prominent, they are still active in the space war era.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

If the specifications match, I can shoot just like what Giradoga was firing.

When Delta fired the Beam Magnum, it broke.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

If there is compatibility, it is possible, so the Anaheim-produced ν Gundam is firing a machine gun stolen from the Anaheim-produced Gil-Doga.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Gundam universe is essentially a story set in a relatively small world that primarily takes place within the inner orbit of the Moon near Earth.

So I don’t think Salamis or Musai have much range either.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

In F90, the Kailam class and the Irish class have gone to Mars.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the second season of Double O, the sub-pilot is allowed to rest during long-distance travel in space.

There is no description, but after the final battle of the movie version of Double O, they traveled through space for about 50 years.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>87

By that point, both the pilot and the MS have become space creatures along the way…

Sakibure has even gone as far as to communicate with extraterrestrial beings using quantum teleportation.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Beam (emitting heavy metal particles at high temperature and speed of light)

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sometimes people casually mention how many days they have been fighting until now, right?

I can’t help it, but I want to see this stalemate situation from the past few days…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it just moves vigorously, it really looks like a wooden stick.

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

When you mention F91, what exactly is the Cosmic Aristocrat?

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>103

That is the greatest mystery of the Universal Century.

You shouldn’t think too much.

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>103

They’re constantly being made fun of on the internet, but what they’re actually doing is quite serious and not just a joke.

Worse than Zeon.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>116

Because those kinds of ridiculous people do terrifying things.

On the contrary, it gives a scary impression.

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>103

It is nothing but the end result of a junk dealer’s newfound wealth.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>118

It feels like an even nastier version of ZZ’s Gemon.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there was a depiction of shooting with a gun that was let go, but I think I might be mixing it up with something else.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

Maybe the ν’s bazooka from Char’s Counterattack and the Quess’s rifle from Hathaway’s Flash.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

This is also ν, but the bazooka trap uses real ammunition, so you can shoot it just as it is even if you let it go.

There are also some settings like the F91’s VSBR, where a capacitor is included on the gun side, allowing it to fire even without any energy from the main body.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

You can scatter, converge, and manipulate particles finely, right? VSBR

108: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When it comes to built-in generators, are we talking about the Mega Bazooka, High Mega Launcher, Double Beam Rifle, and G-Bird?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cosmic nobility refers to the nobility of the universe.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Pipiniden, Chronocle, and Katjeena had attacked together, wouldn’t they really have been able to defeat Ucso?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>111

Zanskar itself started infighting and ultimately self-destructed…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it charming how aliens mimic Earth’s history and culture?

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Even the medieval nobility originally originated from strong barbarian tribes that secured their own territories.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing for a merchant to succeed and claim to be nobility.

It’s just too outdated for the space age.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>122

It’s interesting to look at the history of the strengthening of royal power.

The concepts of loyalty and chivalry were created later.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>134

Samurai are just like that, and human history doesn’t change.

During the Warring States period, betrayal and defection were accepted, and once stability was achieved, there was a trend to start emphasizing that samurai were cool because of their loyalty, right?

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>141

During the Sengoku period, those who upheld loyalty were praised.

It is precisely because it is a difficult era to live that way that those who do become objects of respect.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>151

Because there was a lot of freedom during the Nanbokucho period just before the Warring States…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand that the MS standard made by Anaheim is the same, but…

The bazooka that F91 picked up is a bit of a mystery…

It seems like there are no MS from the same company in that space.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

That was a bazooka specially made for F91 that I just happened to find in space.

The general bazooka is of the type that the F90 has.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>135

That’s quite a stretch…!

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even real terrorists were all laughed at in the beginning.

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s hard to understand why someone would feel discomfort with cosmic nobility when it’s already aristocratic from the first generation.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the speed that can go from the plant to Earth’s Alaska all at once is given to an MS, the pilot would die.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>128

Honestly, if it’s Kira, I can barely endure it.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Cosmo nobility is doing things that don’t feel noble at all.

It’s really scary because they are just truly malicious terrorists.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish the seat could lie down when sleeping…

I guess I’ll end up sleeping while sitting…

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Cosmo aristocrats are crap, but if it weren’t for the organizations sponsored by the Cosmo aristocrats, Earth would have been destroyed two or three times, which is terrible.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>133

Including that, it is terrible that it is part of Hauserly’s concept of the Age of Space Wars.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only know one person who couldn’t handle the G-forces in Gundam and ended up spitting up blood, but I wonder if humans can really tolerate the increasing speed of MS (Mobile Suits).

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>142

It seems that things have eased quite a bit since the introduction of the spherical cockpit.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>142

In terms of safety, the Iron-Blooded MS is designed with cockpit protection through inertia control as a standard feature…

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

As for Hausely, it’s the people who have their brains fried by Hausely that are the problem.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>144

The representative is the younger sister’s husband.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>144

It is said that Hauerly was also brainwashed by Amuro and Gihren, which is why he ended up like that.

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The F91’s bazooka wasn’t picked up in space.

There’s a theory that the scene where they return to the mothership to equip is completely cut out.

That movie has a lot of that sort of thing happening frequently.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>145

I have no idea about Anna Marie at all.

I was watching with a feeling of, “What’s happening?”

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it would be good for the Gundam series, which is relatively small-scale for sci-fi, to set its stage further beyond the Earth sphere.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hauzerly is just as crazy as Zeon Zum Daikun, right?

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

If we don’t reform the current situation, we’ll end up with cannibalism, and that turned out to be true…

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>154

So saying “let’s kill humanity” is ultimately no different from cannibalism…

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>158

This has also infuriated the Kuntala mask.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dorel is at Housely’s daughter’s place.

It’s super delicious, but no one picks it up.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>153

The episode where Hasegawa tried to pick something up and was told by the bald man to forget it is too famous.

Since then, nobody really picks it up…

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sportsmanship of Okayama Taiki from the year before last is what makes it a flag, after all…
