Why are people so enamoured by Ramba Ral and the Gouf when he appears for a few chapters before blowing himself up?He gets like two scenes.
>>22621371>two scenes???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Because he is a fun character with meaningful dialogue in key episodes.
>>22621373Name 10.
Because he’s important to Amuro’s character growth, he rides a cool ass suit and does some cool shit with it, he has a bunch of memorable lines, he’s one of the first Zeeks outside of Garma and those two soldiers that helped the lady and her son that we see that isn’t a total piece of shit, he adds to the background story regarding Sayla and Char and he’s got a hot common-law wife at his side. What more do you want?
>>22621378>that scene where Ramba teaches Amuro how to shave
>>22621371Why the hell do YOU need an entire wikipedia article and a dozen episodes to tell you something is important.
>supposed to be an incredible veteran>loses to an absolute newbie
>>22625858Isn't there a newtype power gap
>>22621378Hamon hitting on Amuro. inb4 some ragefag ERFF BIRF NO SHE WONTEDED
>>22625858The power of the gubdamusbu
>>22625858In the heat of battle Ramba Ral forgot how to fight
>>22626185Can someone explain this meme
>>22627122?It's something literally says.
>>22625858>heh there's no way they'll ever see through my template
>>22627122No one on /m/ in the last 10 years actually makes the effort to watch anything.
Chapters?
>>22627243Hey I’ve been going through showa kamen rider and metal heroes this year alone, at least give some people credit
>>22621371While earlier gundam episodes had already shown the Zeon as people and not just monsters to be fought, the Ramba Ral episodes went further in showing a loving couple. One of whom was a talented and caring commander, with men that loyally followed him out of admiration. Having the Rals treat Amuro so kindly right after he fled the white base also humanizes them even further. He lost due to a combination of Amuro's rapidly advancing newtype abilities as well as the weakness of his gouf + zaku backup which leads to a lot of theorycrafting around if he had gotten the doms. Being thrown under the bus by MQuve also garners some sympathy on that note, and Ramba's death is a result of him trying to reconnect with Sayla. After ALL THAT, you throw in his suicide to avoid capture, and his wife's attempt at revenge leading to the death of herself and a notable member of the crew, and it's not surprising at all.tl;dr he's one of the most humanized Zeon characters in 0079
>>22627122>memeFuck you. Fuck you and every retard like you. It's not a meme. Not everything is meme. You're brain is rotted.

>>22627857Great post, thank you.
>>22621371>He gets like two scenesCompilation movie fags need to be berated so hard.
>>22627122Ramba Ral sees Sayla Mass, whom he recognizes as Artesia Som Deikun, who he knew when she was little, aboard the White Base when he infiltrates it - as an enemy combatant. He has a moment of weakness where confusion and horror overcomes his ability to keep his cool. The narrator sums it up as "In the heat of battle, Ramba Ral forgot how to fight."Now watch the series, you ferocious cockmongler.
>>22621371I read the novelization first where he has a much bigger role. I thought it was weird that he was just some villain of the week in the anime.
>>22625858Amuro was at that point the experienced MS-on-MS combatant in the universe.
>>22621371Because every bit of screen time he had was made to count so despite little time it was all memorable
>>22637869People have really forgotten about the economy of story telling.
>>22627243Allowing the third world onto the internet was a massive mistake.
>>22637870It's really sad
>>22621371a truly good character can leave a lasting impression no matter how short their appearance. like Alec Baldwin's character in Glengarry Glen Ross
>>22621373OP watched the recap movies
>>22639497I actually was reading the origin manga, but it hadn't gone into the ramba ral flashbacks yet.He just met Amuro then died when he met Sayla Mass.His scenes were cool and the gouf was badass but it seemed like he had more fan presence than a couple of scenes would suggest.
>>22639497>watched the recap moviesSounds like something a mongoloid would do.
