What the fuck with this design? Why did it have high heels?

To look fabulous.

It's literally just a fuschia Hamma Hamma with heals and the sleeve crest.

It's a MS belonging to the gay boyslave of a guy named "Full Frontal." What part don't you understand

I wouldn't really mind the stiletto heels in a vacuum, but the Zulu's ridiculously top heavy and they don't really look good as a result, the entire silhouette feels really goofy, the knee spikes somewhat try to save this but overall it makes the mech look like some really shitty gunpla made with four different sets

High heels you say?
>>
>>23568555
It's sexy.

If you weren't weighed down by gravity, you would understand the design philosophy behind the Rozen Zulu.

>>23568555
I thought it had beam blades hidden in the heels?

He's still right about the feet, the Hamma Hamma by comparison has huge reversed three-toed feet which look like they give the machine a better sense of balance.
Speaking personally, combined with its overall more exaggerated proportions (more balanced skirt, very slim waist) and different shapes (e.g. head), the Hamma Hamma is a lot more pleasing to the eye.

I like it but it's what you get when you go to far with a motif. Same reason the gyan has always been so divisive.

Zeon can't help but channel the spirit of Nagano.

better question is how the fuck do the claws even work?
90% of those arms is a fucking gun, those claws must be held together by glue and a strip of aluminum.
Ain't no way those claws can grab and hold shit let alone slash/stab another mech.

>why does the effeminate space nazi drag queen make his mecha look so faggy?

OP is proof that, yes, there is such a thing as a dumb question.

Without defending the Rozen Zulu, the actual claw actuators are likely behind the actual "wrist/palm" where the beam guns are. Because of the arrangement, the center would indeed be hollow enough for the guns. While difficult to see in the OP image, you can also see, if you look closely at the rightmost finger of the Rozen Zulu, a sort of black amorphous bit between the iron nail and actual cannon housing; presumably this is the body of the finger connecting it to the arm and the actuators inside of it.

Overall this isn't particularly uncommon as a mecha design trope and can be seen across a variety of designs such as the Z'Gok, though the Z'Gok only has one beam gun in the center of its claws and IMO executes the idea much more gracefully.

it's a thing in the MSV-R manga that the claws were terribly prone to getting stuck inside enemies, especially ship hulls

zeon continually choosing horns and spikes and claws and shit like that even decades later is absolutely preference over usability, form over function

funfax: I don't think the rozen zulu's claw weapons ever stab or crush anything other than itself
