A small error, Black Tri-Stars did not use S Types, they used High Mobility R-1 Zaku IIs in the Battle of Loum

[kimarykorlumiose]

holy crap, Gundam content from a Star Wars channel?

a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[nabiscus_]

This is the video I never thought we'd get!

[Banchoking]

I love the Zaku series and everything related to it.

[chheinrich]

Halo, warhammer 40k and Now gundam, your Step on the gas at the moment

[danielchew]

You accidentally misidentify the Gouf Flight Type as a Zaku variant.




This is no Zaku, boy!

[cdsircoupe]

This is my jam, definitely do more Gundam videos. Overall this one was well executed but I had some minor nitpicks. You omitted mentioning the pinnacle of Zaku 2 models, the MS-06R-1A High Mobility Type. These things could keep up with the more advanced Gelgoogs at the end of the OYW and were preferred by the Aces alive at that point in the original continuity. In Origin, the footage you're using of the Black Tri-Stars during Loum are R-1As.

You also used footage of a Gouf flight type to illustrate the atmospheric example, as Ramba Ral would say "this is no Zaku, boy! No Zaku!"

[ZedZeta]

I'd love to see you cover the Zeon and Federation fleets :D, some of the coolest and memorable ship designs in mecha anime.

[Blind]

you should do some gundam space ship break downs.

[johnbuczkowski]

No matter the era and the environment, war will always be part of life.

[YunKx]

I'm glad you're going into Gundam, there is definitely so much lore to cover and would love to see more! Definitely the GM units should be next!

[annguyen-trne]

Yes, finally someone outside of Gunpla community make a lore review on a machine from a gund franchise

[daveb]

Wonderful timing, I've just used my lockdown time to finally watch all six parts of The Origin, great show. I enjoyed it so much, I'm now accidentally a third of the way into a rewatch of the original MS Gundam.

[TokyoFilthy]

The zaku pilot at 2:24 is a chad,
he waved at that kid,
probably made that kids day

[BansheeNT-D]

Finally Gundam stuff!
Can you do a Video about the MS-18E Kämpfer? 💜
Sieg Zeon

[killak]

The Zakus will always have a special place in my heart!!!

[inquisitorgarza]

The weapon that forever changed the Universe Century. Where billions of people died for an idealistic super state war that fought for independence and corruption, but knowing Zeon Loyalists they will often ignore the colony drop that killed the majority of humanity on Earth, and compared that to the prejudices of the Colonies. This Mobile Suit will continue to be a symbol for a dead dream of the Universal Century, and the countless of horrors that came with it.

[afallencheetah]

Zaku is also the Japanese sound for a large group of soldiers marching in formation and a literally translation to "inferior fish"

[loserlemby]

Yeehaw boys, the crossovers just keep coming

[GhostEchoX]

Okay so this video definitely caught me off-guard and by God am I glad I subscribed to your Channel!!!! I originally subbed because of your Star Wars content but holy hell you're doing Gundam shit and I'm so happy! Please do more!
