[Mobile Suit Gundam] I’m seriously watching Gundam for the first time, but I only knew the line “I’ve never even been hit by my dad!” Here, Amuro is not being a coward as a soldier, nor is Bright-san being a military man.

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

…Why has such a painful scene been used as a joke on television and elsewhere for so many years?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx51

Is it because it has an impact?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t Bright’s pose interesting?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is the pose of “Why is it bad to hit”?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

And then Mr. Ryu dies, and both sides are broken.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx23

Because it was a reference aimed at people who have never seen Gundam.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Until about the Heisei era

“Why is it bad to hit!?”

The spirit of it was still somewhat positively acknowledged, so maybe there was some demand around that.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Could it be that almost all the crew on this ship is at their limit? This thought comes to mind early on.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

The old civilians are also quite useless, aren’t they?

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love Amuro, who gets fired up and goes along with the challenge of being told to take pride in himself as a man.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

“I think it’s hell when they start drafting civilians (including children) as soldiers! They’ll make them wear military uniforms!”

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

19 years old vs 15 years old

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, the feeling of being cornered and the harshness felt very real and relatable.

After a while, it was treated as a kind of theatrical gag.

Furthermore, when looking at it from today’s perspective, it feels like both sides are in such a tough situation that all you can do is laugh.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the beginning, Amuro’s emotions change rapidly, especially when he rolls his eyes, becomes unresponsive, cries, or gets angry; it’s really pitiful.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There’s nothing we can do; all the reliable adults have died.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Despite desperately trying to reunite, my mother’s attitude is seriously awful…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s impressive how the old folks, who got on by chance, boldly ask to be taken all the way to Earth.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It makes you wonder, isn’t there just child soldiers…? That’s the Ral team.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

It’s tough, Mom, whether it’s your attitude or the fact that you have a lover.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s when we were kids, perhaps because we experienced wartime, the portrayal of the protagonists being pushed to the brink and in dire straits in the master’s work feels quite realistic.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It might be better than a solo ship where the enemy eventually invades all the way to the bridge.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

There are Zeon soldiers who, without thinking, give emergency food to mothers and children refugees and pray for their safety.

There are evil Zeon soldiers who shoot and kill evacuees with handguns relentlessly.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

The average life expectancy at the time of broadcasting was around 70, so the old man’s sense of reality becomes distorted.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amuro and Shinji are actually less delicate than I expected…

It may be unavoidable if the comparison is with Kouji or Ryoma.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sometimes I think it would be better to just surrender, but there might be a possibility of everyone getting killed.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder why they are making teenagers do something like this…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, Matilda dies, Ryu dies, and Sleggar dies as well.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are indeed some useless people in the Federation forces, but as expected, this is a story that is quite separate from the WB crew.

Various characters from Zeon appear as familiar episodes.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bright, regardless, if Frau says that much, then I’ll do it. I’m a man too.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bright is also overwhelmed.

I finally fell!

Mirai! Please give the instructions quickly!!!!!!!

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Surrendering doesn’t guarantee your life will be spared, and reality has proven that.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Mr. Bright, don’t let Amuro get sulky or run away because of your blunders…

Also, Seira-san generally has a bad vibe…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

In this scene, Amuro is sulking, and Bright is not very good at scolding; I wonder what would have happened if Frau hadn’t been there.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I was a child, I thought, “What is this skin-colored white eye?” But as an adult, I realized that at 19, fresh out of officer school, with no experience, being told to come to Earth while operating the latest warship with cutting-edge weapons and civilians onboard, while dealing with the enemy ace, it’s no wonder I would want to slap someone.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

The White Base also shoves oden at the prisoners…

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Well, it doesn’t really feel like Tem spoiled and raised it, you know…

It’s not like Amuro said, but anyway, everyone was overwhelmed in that scene.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amuro is intense, but Mirai-san, who has experience piloting gliders, is on another level—what was that maneuver?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Now it’s power harassment.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

At that time, the use of physical punishment by teachers and supervisors was a common part of everyday reality.

It’s just a miserable scene of a boy complaining after being hit and a young man who seems ready to make excuses for hitting.

War is miserable, isn’t it?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it wrong to want to sleep in slowly after being forced to battle continuously without a break? I’m like, “Yeah…”

Good luck because there aren’t enough hands.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Especially a boy who has never received any training is suddenly treated as an ace pilot!?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amuro seems to be wandering alone, and for now, he seems oddly aggressive, like trying to take down a base.

Bright was too anxious, but after collapsing, he seems to have gained some composure.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t like the way Seira is intensely staring at Mirai, who is reading the manual, putting pressure on her…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s more tense and limited than I expected, and Amuro is strong from the start.

Even if it’s not a Gundam, it’s unusually strong.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Seira is kind of… not very helpful in the beginning and seems preachy.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It is a richly nuanced scene that is the result of various accumulations.

It felt strange because there was a parade of lines that were just perfect for being humorously featured.

It is a phenomenon that I still often see.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bright was only 19 at the time, but he was truly a capable man, leading others despite being overwhelmed.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

At this point, Bright is still just under 20 years old.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When I was a kid and hadn’t watched the first Gundam yet, this scene was cut out and presented on TV, making it seem like Bright was an ideal boss! So I thought it was that kind of scene.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

At first glance, she seems like a rather unpleasant young lady named Sayla, but she is gradually getting along better with those around her.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The tense atmosphere in the early stages ironically made everyone closer during the Aobaku period as we were living on the edge of life and death.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to conducting, I somehow end up being bad at it.

If you put Sayla in an MS or a fighter jet, she’d be the best.

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I know this way is bad, but if we don’t do it, everyone will die.

Because it’s war.

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It feels like getting into the cockpit quickly will help me escape from this tense environment.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only one who has become so disheartened is Amuro.

Are other people’s mental resilience stronger, or are they not as worn out as Amuro?

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sadness is too heartbreaking.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

It felt like I was supposed to go to a big business negotiation with my boss for on-the-job training as a new employee, but it seems my boss disappeared on the day of the event…

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Even someone like me, who is nearly 40, can’t behave like an adult like Bright-san does, so that’s impressive.

It’s amazing that Ryu is also 18 years old with that.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. Bright, how many years have you been in the military at this point?

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are times when even Seira thinks, “What is up with this woman?”

When I remember that she is Char’s sister, it makes a mysterious kind of sense.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

He’s just a young man who was desperately trying to lead because he had no choice, rather than being the ideal boss.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Once you get used to it, Mr. Bright is also a bird. Everyone, it’s okay to take photos!

to become

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amuro still has some rebellious tendencies, so he can occasionally push back and relieve his own stress.

Kira tends to be overly accommodating, which makes it seem even more tragic because he ends up taking everything upon himself…

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s rather funny to think of Char being introduced as the ideal boss.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

The first generation looks older than their age, or rather, they are very mature.

The 20s and 30s of the Showa era might have been like that.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the end, everyone has the bearing of seasoned warriors, but it’s scary that only a few months have passed.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, why was I told to go to Jaburo in Luna 2 without any replacement personnel and without the evacuees being recovered?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Ryu also a teenager?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that there are quite a few people who have become interested from Zieg Ax and started watching the original series as a form of preparation.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really cruel that Hayato will also die later on.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

Forgive me, Garma… This is my token of respect… Living well with your sister is also quite a pain.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though the archangels were in a serious predicament, Kira will somehow take care of everything…

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amuro’s scream of “Whoa!” in the main story is so desperate and powerful every time that it’s scary.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it seems that in the Ziek Axis world line, Seira-san has become an ace…

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Sayla-chan ultimately going to end up in Amuro’s position with G-Fighter?

144: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Amuro is strong from his first battle, so it’s strange after all.

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I can’t help but think that if Garma hadn’t been killed, Char would have had a bit more leeway, in this banter-filled scene.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Probably if you gain proper experience, you’ll become really strong, just like Seira-san.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

In recent years, there’s been an approach where Char is treated like another protagonist, but surprisingly, he has not had many appearances in the original series.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

The swordsmanship is well done, which makes Amuro’s intensity feel even greater.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s often the case that when you see the original source, the scene isn’t funny at all…

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wow! Amuro, who used to say things like “Wow!” gradually started saying “One! Two!” and so on…

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Colony residents might age more easily due to the effects of ultraviolet rays and such…

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Bright is doing really well despite being put under a lot of unreasonable pressure, seriously…

What am I supposed to do as a 19-year-old kid…?

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

The white guy has gotten incredibly strong after not seeing him for a while… that’s Amuro for you.

165: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the first place, the scene where they are saying “Waaaah!” isn’t them being cornered, they’re usually the ones throwing punches…

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even when caught off guard by the underwater-only MA and dragged underwater, Amuro, who reacts with “Wow!!!”, is strong enough to win.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I won’t say that just because Char can do it, you can do it too… or will I…?

168: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When you add elements such as the walls of a being that transcends race and former friends along with their companions attacking the white base, it becomes the Ark Angel.

169: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The sadness of showing a bit too much talent and being kept at a distance or drawn lines by those around you.

The gratitude I feel for Kai-san, who makes light-hearted banter.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it possible that the lack of salt is quite a dangerous situation?

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to mental commands, the concentration, passion, and determination are definitely activated, wow!

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before playing Amuro, I had already done a lot of intense performances in “The Big One: Star” and “Steel Jeeg.”

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

Almost all of Bright’s subordinates have survived.

Almost all of Char’s subordinates have died in battle.

180: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Even if they were in their late 20s, Bright’s role is tough.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

Char!!

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

If a Newtype doesn’t come to terms with killing, they’ll end up like Kamille, which is a problem.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

Char becomes a better boss when he has a partner like Doren.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are definitely some intense scenes where the famous lines from the anime keep getting repeated…

189: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The sorrowful warrior has a lot of intense characters dying one after another, which is painful.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amuro and Camille seem to have worn him out, and Bright is generally lenient with the kids from Shangri-La.

192: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Amuro, too accustomed to the environment, is not exhibiting the composure of a teenager when conversing with Dr. Moskhahn.
