>This is a regular person in the AC timeline
>>23912831Was he Yazan or who?
>>23912849random OZ gruntextremely sexualized too as he's the only person with a modern "will to power"/battle lust in the setting and thus can't integrate socially: should be read as "most male of all males" hereyou can barely see it but his hand is covering his an up arrow for his dick on his leotard: has a female facing downward triangle (yoni) on a chain representing his being forcibly bound by Diana-moon-woman-queenhe's what Gym wants to be, with Gym's sword being his cock (disembodied and idealized as opposed to Corrin's effortless signification)
>>23912831They should do a collab with nike and do a lmtd release of those sneaks
You have to get he spent at least a millennia in a cryogenic pod, He was extremely mentally deranged by this.For all we know, he possibly was originally a very serious person, or even an heroic soldier and completely degraded over the years. would explain his final actions as he got some of his memory back at the end.He has a really nice character song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2h7xy13J6k
His kapool is aces
His underlings are funnier>Almost kill multiple important characters>Constantly switch sides and worked with every factions of the story>Often talk shit about the side they are currently working with>everyone they are working with think they are loyal guys because they see them as a little stupid (as they are) and don't see them as a threat>They completely get away with it
>>23912897That’s uncomfortably close to who I am, but at the same time im getting progressively fine with being a opportunistic rat
>>23912897>Dude, fuck this shit. Let's just go put puppet shows.
>>23912849he's Zechs
>>23913238He looks considerably older than that.
>>23913238Zechs Merquise? I thought he was dead.
>>23914408He cannot rest quietly in his grave while the White Doll is still roaming around
>>23912858>>23913238>he's sexBravo Tomino.
>>23914418Does the butthole arrow mean he is into getting his ass bungled?
>>23913238>>23914408>>23914410>>23914424I just can't see a guy who never pissed himself or said IT'S A GUNDAM become Corin, let alone was banging this only to become insane in Turn A
>>23914446Looking at it wrong, it's because he can't bang that anymore that he went crazy.
>>23914450While that's also a fair argument, Zech still wouldn't have PTSD over Wing Zero like Corin did.
>>23914458He's not him exactly, you are reading too deeply into Correct Century shenanigans.
>>23914467then what's the explanation?
>>23914488He's a sex.
>>23914467But you're supposed to read deep into Correct Century where all of Gundam timelines converge.
>>23914488That gundams all look the same and that the wing gundams are extra generic.
>>23914443yeshe exists only in the world of men
>>23914503you're supposed to think how each setting could spiral into failure by its own inhumanity as a reflection the show's theme, not make a fucking lorefaggot dictionary where you keep trying to justify tying it to Ideon
>>23914495>>23914503>>23914625Does that mean Gym is Domino's great, great-grandson because his signature move is Shining Finger?
>>23914593>>23914625TRVKE
>>23914636Gym does not have the Shining Finger, the Turn-X does. Because it is the final evolution of DG cells
>>23914651Domon doesn't use Shining Finger outside of the Gundam thoughbert,
>>23914660He does, ask Rain.
>>23914685
>>23914660Devil Gundam and Shining Gundam were made by the same people.
>>23914651>>23914636Gym doesn't actually use the shining finger. He just saw footage of it in the history videos and THINK he is doing it, but he's rally nothing but a clueless nerdas everything this guy does is pretending things he can't actually do
>>23915229>as everything this guy does is pretending things he can't actually doHe's LITERALLY me.
>>23914636He's the distant descendant of the result of Allenby sneaking into the Kasshu home and taking "DNA samples" from Domon and Rain's marital bed.
>>23915229Gym is a LARPer who bluffed himself into a good position, he's the Steven Seagal of Gundam
>>23914660>thoughbeitFTFY
>>23912849He! Was! El Wipe-o Ass-o!
>>23912858I thought he was an ordinary citizen in the colony Quatre blew up with Wing Zero and he survived with brain damage and swore revenge on the Gundam but spent most of his time as a random felon in and out of cryosleep.
>>23916391I think it's implied the brain damage is specifically DUE to the sleepBeing in sleep for too long destroy your body, first physically, then mentally.He probably wasn't aware of it but his body probably was close to dying at the end of the show
>>23916391I got the same impression, but I also assumed he his family was probably tight with the romafellers and was then put into a cryo pod on the moon, where he would be forgotten after Wufei tore the base apart, being spared because his pod kept getting energy from a section of the facility that still operational, but far away from his location, only being found in CC after some kids stumble into his pod.
>>23915476Didn't he inherit it? Been awhile since I watched Turn A, but I thought its one of those deals where his post was hereditary.
>>23914488>>23914488I thought the explanation is Tomino left it up to the staff to pick a Gundam to get referenced.
>>23915476Elaborate.
>>23914418>>23915968Dabbing before it was popular.
>>23912897what the fuck is james may doing there
>>23916750Yes. His family was in charge of security for the moon for generations and he never went to war but he was desperate for it. He thought he had excellent battle prowess from his genetic side and his family history.In the end he totally sucked and he was just full of hot air in a pampered rich boy.
>>23914503You have to be pretty retarded to think every Gundam timeline ultimately leads to Correct Century.
>>23919397TONIGHT
>>23919519I WANNA GIVE IT ALL TO YOU
>>23919453Then what was the point of Dark History having footage of every Gundam timeline from both UC and AU?
>>23919453>You have to be pretty retarded to believe the people who make Gundam about their own universe where they decide what is canon in or not
>>23914458If you think he had a bad reaction, you should've seen how MAHQ's series reviewer reacted to that moment. Apparently not even being a complete lunatic justifies a reference to Gundam Wing.
>>23919519>>23919541gb2 >>>/mu/
>>23914702He said Rain.
>>23924210It was an "Oh U" reaction, anon..
>>23919552I think it`s was either Sunrise mandate and Tomino did not care, or Tomino himself threw them there to fuck with the audience.
>>23924964Maybe it was a statement that people shouldn't always take works of imagination so seriously.
>>23918521Not really; Turn-A takes place in the far distant future, remember?
>>23925510Sure, why not, that's something Uncle Tomino would totally do.
>>23927788Exercise in futility, really.
UC (the stuff released before Turn A at least) and the 90s AU Gundams each focus on different aspects or viewpoints from the same thematic landscape and do their own spin on things. I don't think Turn A is literally the endpoint or point of convergence of every timeline that came before it. It's more of a possible scenario each human civilization can (but doesn't have to) end up with after a long series of collective decisions influenced by the events that happen in the relevant series. This might be reading too deep into it though and the Dark History thing referencing all Gundam series before Turn A was just Sunrise shoehorning stuff into it for the sake of anniversary nostalgia (or Tomino just acknowledging those non-UC Gundams in his own weird way).In any case I can't recall anyone bringing up the convergence thing since then, and as far as lore/canon is concerned, CC is in the UC timeline and becomes RC. There might have been plans for some super Gundam multiverse or whatever but it was probably abandoned.
>>23919552Did they ever show any footage from UC OVAs?
>>23924964I think Tomino threw them in there knowing what it meant, he just didn't care about thinking about a "timeline" that made sense. But the whole thing about Turn-A being a conclusion to all Gundam not just UC is clearly intended, don't forget the "Shinning Finger" name call out too.And the characters react to some of the AU screens too (like one of them goes "What's this mobile suit-like thing?!" after a Gundam X hologram appears), although their comments are clearly more generic than their reactions to the UC screens.>>23929499Just rewatched it I think it's only tv shows + Endless Waltz + CCA. There are UC OVA clips in the opening though.
>>23929499Dunno about 0080\0083\08th but ZZ, F91, CCA and a few other show up for sure.
>>23929513found 0083 in a tiny corner
>>23914636Wouldn't need to be a genetic relation, clearly the School Of The Undefeated Of The East proliferated across the whole Earthsphere but most of the practitioners left to do kungfu in deep space with the rest of the colonies and Gym is the only one left on the moon still using it
>>23919552I think CC is just an AU like any other, the only difference is it's premise is what if all the timelines from shows before it merged and became canon to one another.
>>23916391Retard alert. That colony was evacuated and Wuatre is not a mass murderer despite what the memes get wrong.
Someone needs to go through all the scenes showing the Dark History and identify all the series each window depicts.
Turn A/CC only happens after UC. Everything else is symbolic at best or fanservice references that were a good idea at the time of production. G-Reco basically cements the UC>really late UC (Dark History)>CC>RC timeline.
>>23930635Fuck off.
>>23930794There's no cause for incivility.
>>23930172Except he predates Sora by a few years.
>>23931624Suck off a shotgun, faggot.
>>23933159Now that's just uncalled for.
>>23934221Bot post.
>>23929512Turn A being a conclusion to all Gundam wasn't meant to be literal, it's his expression as a creator. He's said multiple times that Turn A was meant to close out his work on Gundam and finally transition him away from the franchise. G-Reco wasn't meant to be a Gundam story at first, but Bandai meddling made him adjust it after it started planning. The scenario/novel he was working on was called Hajimetai Capital G no Monogatari, and he said the G stood for Gravity. And G-Reco inherited it, only to end up being advertised as a Gundam show with tie backs to Gundam. Given it also references King Gainer.>Tomino said that the "G-Reko" name was chosen in part because "the 'Gundam' name was a total nuisance when trying to develop a new kind of robot story." He noted that the "G" in the title was revealed earlier as standing for "gravity."https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-08-25/gundam-creator-tomino-g-reko-entering-full-fledged-productionThere's a reason why he avoids using the name Gundam in the show. It's just his way of saying "I'm done with Gundam."
>>23934223Get help.
>>23930295>Quatre did nothing wrong
>>23916396It's mentioned somewhere that he was a convict from AC era that was frozen for possibly a thousand, if not more years. It's why his hair is white and he has the mark on his face. Also is why his IQ is 70The only thing that survived intact was his PTSD from encountering a Gundam from Wing.
>>23934572>It's just his way of saying "I'm done with Gundam."but whenever another director tries to do something with Gundam he barges in and complains if they don't "try something different"
>>23930295>WuatreThere's a crack ship.
>>23915447That's disgusting.
>>23940498>Also is why his IQ is 70Yeah most people from AC were dumbshits
>>23944077But enough about CE.
>>23944082Porque no los dos?
