Gundam Victory: Reinforce Jr rams Motorad Squad (Episode 50)

[SageofTalos]

what's the song playing in the background? been searching.

[sorrowofwind1]

@SageofTalos watch?v=INA1j4S9wSU  Ikutsumono ai wo kasanete

[SageofTalos]

@sorrowofwind1 Thank you so much for the link :D

[lompocus]

00 > every other gundam series. Except, maybe, some of the OAV's.

[MisterHeroman]

@lompocus See the top rated comments as to why you're wrong.

[SolBuster]

@lompocus You have no idea what your talking about.

No amount of magic particle Gundam and pretty girly characters can defeat the originality and work of the UC era.

[Ginga]

0:16-3:22...epic. 

[blacksolar212]

They should have played this song when Graham died

[adejobi1000]

I thought I could watch an interesting video about a Gunam series I love without people telling me I suck for daring to like Gundam Wing or some other Gundam series with another year other than UC at the end.

But of course not.

Gundam fans have to ruin everything for everyone else.

[Ginga]

@adejobi1000

Agreed. GW is my favorite series but I really enjoyed V after finishing it for the first time several weeks ago. This scene was one of the best in the series and I wanted to watch it on YouTube. I click on it and the first comment is another UC-elitist spouting more bullshit.

[frozenray0079]

hahaha i LOVE victory Gundam. but i'm seriously so tired of people saying oh Gudnam Wing sucks and Gundam Seed sucks and Destiny sucks blah blah blah. Sheesh I hear more about that than anything else. Why can't people just ENJOY all of Gundam for what it is? Every Gundam series is different. Zeta and Victory are some of the greatest EVER, but people shouldn't be so quick to be happy about a great man being in a deep depression.try to enjoy the alternative universes too!

[stormmeansnowork]

@frozenray0079 I think ZG and VG are the greatest too! UC is just as good of course! Their keys to success are simple -- characters and good plot! It's hard to focus when there're 3+ gundams for the main casts (in God and after). I like SEED's and 00's story. Even Destiny have good machines but crap story, it's still better than G-Saviour... I hope they will write a post-VG new series to override that G-Saviour shit...

[frozenray0079]

@stormmeansnowork I agree, Destiny could have been absolutely incredible. The first half is a total tribute to Z Gundam the same way the original SEED was a tribute to 0079...then it sorta goes to crap lol. i would love to see another UC television series, as VG is as of yet the final depiction of the universal century world. thats kinda why i'm realy enjoying Unicorn right now, even though it has a million references to Z and ZZ only. I hardly consider that G-Savior nonsense canon haha

[stormmeansnowork]

@frozenray0079 UC has elements from 0083, CCA and F91 (the Loto) too. Even there's no post-VG UC-story, OVAs for SG and CB (till its Steel-7 ending) is still welcomed. It's mysterious why some ppl cant see new ideas come from the alternate universes - despite some of those series' own short comings. Even I dislike aliens in Gundam, ELS does have its worth, but I hope AGE won't surprise us too much...

[frozenray0079]

@stormmeansnowork AGE is gonna rock. The 00 Movie, with its ELS plot, proved to the global Gundam fanbase that Gundam can get away with doing ANYthing it wants. Even a story involving aliens :) which is funny cuz the 00 series went from being super-realistic in season 1 to 0079-realistic what with its Innovator plot...then the movie just went totally unrealistic. and still incredible. So AGE will probably follow that trend just and surprise its audience. Hopefully not TOO much, like you said.

[stormmeansnowork]

@frozenray0079 When you say that, I recalled Sunrise told us back in 2000 they will a big surprise in Turn A -- and they did... Sigh, the only thing I still cant get over with is -- Gundam's collective end is set by the most anti-Gundam design which I can't take even today. It would be perfect if the Moustached Gundam was replaced by Strike Freedom / Destiny... but put that aside, from what I learnt about TA (I didnt watch it), it's still a good series

[frozenray0079]

@stormmeansnowork i've seen some of Turn A, and i think it's incredible. It's really funny because they have some classical designs from 0079, and then they have suits like Turn A which are completely nontraditional. but they make it work for sure and it makes a Gundam fan appreciate a show like Gundam SEED even more how it returns to the classic machine design and plot. Turn A was very weird. But more than that, very original, and that's always a plus for me.

[stormmeansnowork]

@frozenray0079 The key thing is to see new ideas. Anti-gundam ideas'd be spilled out n good ones will (hopefully) b improved. SEED carries its own story and ideas (PS amour, aegis' transformation, Sword-Strike's sword, rivals turned friends, the BuCUE etc). SEED era could be better exploited if beam shields n n-jammer cancellers took more than 2 CE years to materialise (took 40 UC years to see beam shield). SEED's over-commercialised.. at least we got good dialogues in UC than just a Beam Magnum

[Kanuskiz]

Shed tear for the old men's effort to save those who belong to the new generation.

Even the usually incompetent and whiny fake Gym Ginningham becomes a real man during this last attack.

[DarkArtistKaiser]

There is more meaning and energy in the 50 years of Japanese animation than twice years Americans have spent animating.

[YamashitaTsubasa]

@DarkArtistKaiser HA HA HA OH WOW

[DarkArtistKaiser]

@YamashitaTsubasa

HA HA HA HA I know right?

I don't even know what comment made you laugh so hard troll. :3

[popomaka2008]

neo neet sun

[iori2006]

bravo bravo perfect song for a great series to thos the tought the this was the darkess part of the gundam series should burn in hell sorry that is jhust me but i love this song and none the less the machines are awesome no like the seed or gundam wing in here they put what really happen in wars ^^.

[SuperSkyStriker]

@iori2006 is this really the darkess gundam series is so I MUST WATCH!

[Revengeking17]

Damn, manly tears were shed during the production of this series ;_;

[crosswire40]

@Revengeking17 Manly Tears TT_TT

[blacksolar212]

BTW the  song is Ikutsumono ai wo kasanete

[Animekingification]

I believe that mobile suit produces oxygen and even tho a lot was escapin they probably mita had enough to breathe

[blacksolar212]

what's the name of the song that plays

[YUICHI0947]

The whole Motorad fleet was annihilated?

Just by a ram?

[JerichoKru]

@YUICHI0947 Ships and Mobile Suits are powered by very volatile reactors. Earlier in the series, a ship went up like a nuke.

[DarkArtistKaiser]

@YUICHI0947

Well, you have to take into account that two large battleships blowing up in such a closely bunched up fleet can cause quite some damage.

If anything, they may have just destroyed it to a point where the squad would be just a few units.

[foottothenuts]

"this long life of mine was worth it"

this is why i love gundam!

oh god i am crying

[BSbrian]

Bright noa would be proud of these old motherfucker!

[edsf2006]

This is "Tokkoo!"

[Gavither]

Without a doubt one of the best orchestrated events in Gundam. So utterly sacrificial and badass; it allowed Uso to do what he needed to do. I'll always remember this scene as one that I cried during, and still find myself doing so.

[HalfDemonInuyasha]

This scene always pulled at my heartstrings. The song combined with such a heroic (if crazy) action actually made me cry when I first saw it.

FINALLY, we got the previous generation doing everything they can to save the new generation and not sacrificing them meaninglessly. But it was also great to see that, despite all the damage they already sustained and taking MORE each second, they still succeeded. Jeanne D'Arc doing the same in the very next episode.

[StoreWar1]

I do admit, despite that was suicidal AND crazy (admit it, it is crazy), you got to admit they did a good job, and I liked the idea of a broken mobile suit as a turret

[RGM79Kai]

Anybody know the name to this song?

[qi0988]

Song is Ikutsumono Ai wo Kasanete sung by Motoyoshi Iwasaki

[RGM79Kai]

Thanks :)

[RyuNoKami]

i rather like watching middle-age to older people piloting MS and kicking ass. There is absolutely no angst. Just badass-ness.

[firebodybuilder]

I love this scene too!

One does not need to be young handsome gifted newtype pilot of freaking powerful super robot to be a hero! As long as one fight with courage and for the bigger good, he is hero!

[dropthepin]

"Why won't it sink?!"

Because they're about to perform an epic act of heroism, and you're at the receiving end of it.

[darksword101]

I loved this scene so much. It shows no matter how old you are, you can still own your enemy.

[ciprianobabula]

A tearjerker and epic. (Salutes)

[alHalwima]

I've read various Japanese websites that have persuaded me to think that the Zanscare Empire is a rip-off of 18th Century France during the revolution. Many of the characters have French names and there's this annoyingly pervasive symbolism revolving around the guillotine. The are more gruesome ways to kill people, look at the f***ing Nazis!

[starcrosser09]

To examine the scene carefully, Jim actually went out on his seat beside Capt. Mubarak. What went on my mind is that Jim controlled the ship in Ep 51 to ram Jeanne D'Arc towards the Dugen Fleet. Though it is arguable whether Jim died or somewhat missing.

[HalfDemonInuyasha]

Most likely to a sub-bridge or something, which are usually hidden underneath the main bridge and deeper in the interior of the ship, making much more protected.

Also, in terms of the 18th Century France thing, that is true. In fact, the Jeanne D'Arc's kamikaze attack in episode 51 is also symbolic in that it parallel's her own fighting against the royal family while she gets labelled a heretic and witch and such and ends up dying for those beliefs while also inflicting a blow to the family.

[SHAWNEATER]

;_;

[exkrey]

i love this song q_q

[OmegaZero56]

-Salutes-

[LastSoldier1]

I haven't watched V Gundam yet, but i find this pretty sad. So what forces are in this war exactly?

[Enderesonix]

Zanscare Empire (baddies), League Militaire (goodies), and debatably (SPOILERS) Uso's own team by the end.

[ZeonicGlory]

@Enderesonix: You forgot the incompetent Earth Federation, not so involved in the war until towards the end.

[Enderesonix]

Aren't they just shit League backups due to how long it took them? I can't remember them actually doing anything major, but...

[ZeonicGlory]

@Endresonix: There were pretty much useless by V, and the REAL Gym Genehan (Uso's Dad) was spending a good amount of time trying to get there support, which really doesn't pull through untill towards the end.

[Enderesonix]

@ZeonicGlory: By Gym Geneham, you mean Jinn, right? Unless Turn A's Gym can add to his list of feats being inconspicous and sneaking into Victory?

[ZeonicGlory]

@Endresonix: Ah, yeah, I tend to mix up my Gyms and Jinns. Though I wouldn't put it past him to sneak into V.

[starcrosser09]

Your name implies that you hate the Earth Federation. But, considering the timeline, the Earth Federation Forces had suffered severe stagnation in its forces that space colonies take over to control the Earth. If you are messing that they are incompetent, look through the hearts of those men in Reinforce Jr. and Jeanne D'Arc. Though stagnated, they resolve not to end the war but to protect the earth.

[ZeonicGlory]

@starcrosser09: Actually, my name is rather misleading, as I like the Feddies as well as Zeon. The sacrifices made by the Reinforce Jr. and the Jeanne D'Arc were indeed heroic, but the Federation as a whole just wasn't what it used to be.

[zeigfryd]

They're what the Federation's all about, Kickin Ass with grace

[kkboom18]

kill em all!!

[gundam2244]

have anyone cried after watching this episode and anime? i have and i dont cry watching too many animes. this is one of the best gundam series. the original isnt that sad.

[leo11lim]

i guess v is the uc series to end the era of uc

[ZeonicGlory]

I can count the number of times I've cried while watching anime on one hand. This is one of them.

[gundam2244]

not only gundam v i have cried about theres also g gundam when master asia dies quite nice and sad too

[cocaineuk87]

No way is V Gundam the best of the UC shows. Zeta Gundam is far better. V comes 3rd for me after Zeta and the original Mobile Suit Gundam

[matrixandraia]

Thanks so much for posting this scene. Now I don't have to dig out my DVDs to watch it.

This is the most powerfully emotional scene in any Gundam show. The music is perfect.

V Gundam is the greatest of all the UC shows, and this is my all time favorite episode.

[mobiusZero2]

honor for the gramps... *saluut*

[RyuNoKami]

all hail old people! xD

[thisonesused]

Instead of newtype hax they just use Haxor System.

[Scentless]

Instead of Newtype h4x they have plot armor and undefeatable machines. For all of th craziness Newtype powers give, the Gundams in UC series aren't made out of a magical indestructable alloy, and the grunts can actually do some damage.

Wing was alright (much better than SEED) but it doesn't come close to most UC series, and the awesomeness of TAAAAAAAAAHN AAAAAAAAAAAA

[HalfDemonInuyasha]

@Scentless

[HalfDemonInuyasha]

@Scentless

Even with Newtypes, it's not like they were completely invincible either. They definitely had an advantage over normal pilots, but they were still able to be defeated or overwhelmed and such. One of the best examples I can immediately think of being how Yazan Gable was able to give even Kamille and Char a run for their money in Zeta.

[crosswire40]

@Scentless YESSSS!!!! JOYUS UC!

[Slixer]

@Scentless V and ZZ where shit, the original Gundam is acutually pretty bad to, people only say it's good for the fact it is the starting point and nostalgia despite the fact most never watched it before Wing. And yes the suit is still mad of of Magically Indestrucable alloy, they don't blow up till either the end of series or in this case have enough spare parts to make any damage pointless. Look at the stupid Bikini assualt on the V2 the damage is entirely minor despite appearence

[leo11lim]

no zeta is the best be they allow brutal battles like character killing wing battles is only 30%

[OverDriveMan645]

@pitiling I don't think so. I say Wing was the second worst. First being Seed. and OO gundam? ripoff of all the gundams...

[yamureska]

FUCK WING AND DESTINY!!! THIS is REAL gundam, anime where the strength and will of the characters and the people win!!! not the strength of the MACHINES! LONG LIVE UC GUNDAM!!!!!

[slyther2]

sorry but screw the universal century fanboys

[foottothenuts]

@slyther2 how can you say that after seeing this?

[slyther2]

because these fanboy wars are pointless. I am sorry but it may surprise you that I like all gundams as shocking as that is. I dont deny this is an awesome and tearful clip but I gind it annoying how many people here prefer to defecate and piss all over the other gundam shows like they're superior fanboys which they're not.

Right now the anime community really annoys me. Far too many elitist fanboys who always think they're right

[foottothenuts]

@slyther2 stuff like that happens because assholes who have only seen seed and seed destiny go around saying they are the best gundam series. seed destiny is one of the worst shows i have ever seen by the way.

[slyther2]

All I'm saying is I like all gundams. My problem with the fanbase likes with both sides and that also includes the UC stuff. UC fanboys equally annoy me as much as AU fanboys. I just wish we could all keep the peace. Looks like that won't happen anytime soon...

[Nate37982]

@foottothenuts hell yeah bro, i miss the old gundam uc century were the best.

[crosswire40]

@yamureska YEAH! LONG LIVE UC!

[igotaticket]

seriously someone get that song and put the link for it

[b257]

I wonder if anyone knows a site that has this song online.

[SKGundam]

Thanks for the upload, this almost put a tear in my eye, by the way, does anyone have a dl for the song, I been looking for it everywhere and nothing?

[b257]

ignore the previous post that was just my cousin goofing off using my account.

[b257]

I challenge anyone to make an amv from this series using this song.

[battousai12345]

[lius68]

[namelesssword]

[battousai12345]

google "crunchyroll." Go to the anime index and look at section M.

[SB0083]

Er...but where can I download it? I can't even use the usual Video Downloader for some reason...

[battousai12345]

depending on your connection speed, downloading can be a pain. But look for Mobile Suit Victory Gundam on animeedenDOTcom
