I love the moment when everything changes in Gundam Gquuuuuuux

The latest entry in the Gundam Franchise, Gquuuuuuxis around one of the one of the Fascinating rooms a main line Gundam Show has had for years. In order to get there, we are asked to return our thoughts over 45 years to the original anime from 1979 – and we are also asked to look at a pretty funny idea.

The vast majority of Gundam Gquuuuuux –As in his prequel/compilation film treated Gquuuuuux Beginningtoday in American theaters for a limited run–is based on the fact that the show is actually defined in an alternative version of Gundam‘S “Universal Century” timeline. The primary timeline of the original Gundam and his direct successor series in the franchise, among others, GquuuuuuxThe version of the events asks us to take another result into account. What if the antagonistic forces of the original series, the Sezessener World Colony Zeon, have actually made war against the earth?

GquuuuuuxThe bow shows that this new timeline traces the audience directly into the very first episode of the 1979 anime. Beginning Starts with an almost shot for shot, defeated the original opening moments of defeating Gundam Even: After a brief explanation of the outbreak of the “one -year war” between Zeon and the Earth Federation, we follow three Zeon Mobile suits, while infiltrating the colony of page 7 to achieve Intel that the Federation has developed a new prototype.

But things differ immediately: We are told that one of the pilots who should go to the mission had their Zaku repaired after receiving damage in a previous mission and Zeon Ace Pilot Char Aznable were able to take up his place. It is what changes for everything Gquuuuuux‘S Timeline: Char identifies the mobile prototype, the Gundam, brave, to leave his own Zaku and steal it during the chaos of Zeons arrival in page 7, and the rest of there, as you say, is an alternative story.

It is fascinating to see how it unfolds Beginning If you are one Gundam Fan, like the opening half of the opening, which tells the original Gundam Differences from this change and what things back in both cases. But if you are already a die -hard fan of the classic from 1979, you probably know who should make this mission instead of Char and why he falls in the original series as a young Amuro Ray as the one who comes into the cockpit of the Gundam to fight the Zeon attackers. A man who is only known as a gene.

In the first episode of the original GundamGene is a kind of solid asshole. Although he is on a stealth recon mission, he is loud and brazen, not only on his own care, but also that of his senior officer, Char Aznable, a decorated war hero in the conflict. Gene simply bored in his ginormus war weapon in a colony, which is largely an ordinary residential facility, grows immediately, moves out of position, and it defies the orders and a threat from the war court and begins to shoot the federation facilities and residential areas indiscriminately.

It is this individual action Gquuuuuux argues that makes everyone Gundam As we know, it happens. Without blowing the Recon mission -without having to long for hunting the Glory Char -Amuro never comes into the Gundam, never kills gene and the other Zeon soldiers who attack the colony never escape on the white base and start a new gymound for earthfedization in the war. Mobile suit Gundam Completes because a selfish jerk pulls a trigger that jealous of the fame that is reached by which is reached above him. From Char, especially.

And The Both makes this absolutely funny, but also completely fascinating at the same time. Because in the original show, Char is not really the cutting war of war that desperately wanted to imitate genes. He is a top pilot, yes, but he is far from the image of a warrior who bravely falls into fighting: He plans, he plansIt indulges in deception and underfug. The war hero is a Mask that is wearing Char As fast as his legendary helmet, always thinking two steps in front of me when he represents his own agenda against Zeons prevailing Zabi family. Char is not interested in the war efforts: he takes care of betraying and destroying the Zabis, and he will take the opportunity to do your military poster child.

It’s still in GquuuuuuxAlso the vision for the character. Despite the access to the Gundam, Char still plays the war for his own game and plans his Vendetta against the Zabis all the time, which he uses with the Gundam to win the war for her. To hell, even as he decides to take the Gundam, is not in the heroic combative way of how genes accepted him: he discovers a chance, while the Gundams ineffective, a distraction and gradually jump out of his own suit to run and take it from a transport vehicle. The Is who is char, regardless of whether it is the man we met for the first time in the anime of 1979, or the version of him in which we are now seeing in GquuuuuuxAlternative timeline. What genes believe, probably both TemplatesIs provided on a lie.

All of this is made on Chars intrigue and deception that are believed by him around him – whether he can successfully make it, most of the Zabis at the expense of the loss of the war in the original show or this new vision of reality that we now have Gquuuuuux. It is what does what does it Beginning Such a delicious pleasure that unfolds as a long -time fan of the series. It is made with clear love and respect for what the original show did as a pioneer for the mecha genre in anime, and a sharp understanding of what it made so convincing four and a half decades ago. A respect that is sufficient to make such an absurd fanish gesture primarily, but it is still more than just a simple imitation and a tribute to what came before.

If that’s something Gquuuuuux can keep essentially, while the story is progressing in the television anime as a whole, Gundam The fans will have a damn good reward.
