Turn A Gundam Black History (TV version)

[1buszybudy13]

so basically every happy ending, every aesop humanity learns, any peace achieved in every gundam series will all go to shit....why do I about what happens in gundam now?

[kainemaxwell]

I like the background music.

[ToruKun1]

Happy Black History month.[/DERP]

[kainemaxwell]

I love the music.

[ZakumX]

Where does it shows MSs from Gundam Wing in this scene? >.> post reply and ty in advance

[firzennet]

@ZakumX 1:07 grunt MS from wing. 1:37 is sandrock custom. theres more, u just hav to look closely.

[bri12345ification]

it wont even make sense merging all the timelines they should of left them alone on where its at

[omegashinobi]

@bri12345ification actually it would if you add in tomino's other works like ideon, so that the earth constantly resets itself but slightly differently each time

[MarkDreadShootsToIll]

Turn A's "Dark History" of the Correct Century is a combination of Universal Century, as well as the Alternate Universes of "After War Gundam X", "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing", "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz" & "Mobile Fighter G Gundam". The Correct Century like anything other than U.C. is an alternate universe.

[plainoldwill]

ok u see the black history here i understand that the timelines most of them lead into the correct century but what i dont understand is is there a particular order in which they occur? like uc->wing->x->future century etc thats what i never understood about this and also with 00 and gundam age they dont fit into the timeline because they werent thought up right? well unless age is somehow related to the uc timeline

[acsam12304]

@plainoldwill

i dont think they are related to each other. i been a Gundam fan for close to 10 years now and i spent HOURS as a kid researching about Gundam. and what i learned from each Gundam is that one side had the first mobiles suites ever build in human history so that kinda debunks everything from Turn A

[plainoldwill]

@acsam12304 well ive been one since...2007 but still it doesnt really make sense then when some gundam series make references to them like g-gundam which has the uc gundams and the wing zero ok mabey it's just a little nod but still i mean then how does it work? if their all seperate timelines(barring universal century) but their all on the little tv's in turn A gundam? they didnt all occur at the same time did they?

[MarkDreadShootsToIll]

@plainoldwill Turn A's "Dark History" of the Correct Century is a combination of Universal Century, as well as the Alternate Universes of "After War Gundam X", "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing", "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz" & "Mobile Fighter G Gundam". The Correct Century like anything other than U.C. is an alternate universe.

[Omegamegamanzx]

@MarkDreadShootsToIll

Don't forget the SEED universe added via Turn A novel. Some people say 00 and AGE were added on that list as well, although sources vary from source to source.

[pkemr4]

its kinda common sense to realize 00 and SEED was inculded........ also the setting is when ALL gundam series was over (implying 00 and SEED) and the technology in the world was turned to dust/sand by the nanomachines from the turn a gundam.

[ihatej00poo]

ugly ass gundam with a mustache piloted by an assexual indian lame-ass named laura. i hated this series.

[manveru666]

Any version of this WITH SUBS around?

[ZKoftherebellion]

I'd like to see Kira beamspam his way out of that.

[LordShinryu1]

Why do you all think that the timelines are conected because of this scene? The staff probably just used old Gundam footage because they could not make entire original mini scenes. 

[MisterHeroman]

@LordShinryu1 Because they mention that the Rx-79 looks like the Turn A, and making their own mini scenes isn't that hard.

[LordShinryu1]

@MisterHeroman That's not it. Due to the share size of a mini scene, it's easy to see something else than the actual scene. Instead of using original animation that takes time to make, the animation staff use old footage, hoping that the viewers won't notice. It would have been different if it was just UC scenes, but since they included After war and After Colony, it's unlikely that the timlines are connected this way.

[rowd149]

@LordShinryu1 There was an infographic that connected them all to Turn A, also. Every series that premiered before Turn A is at least de facto part of its continuity, if not de jure. This is pretty widely accepted.

[bluedeath911]

When you watch the show you will forget all about the Turn A's looks. I thought the same things people are saying about Turn A's design before I watch the series.

[nepomusik]

[bhbukh]

ターンⅩの〝潜在能力〟が違いすぎる！！他の〝ガンダムタイプと­は格が違う〟！！

[bin1127]

it is described as the most powerful gundam ever, but it never really does anything extraordinary except at the very end. I thought it was comparable to RX78-2 until that point.

[bldude2]

Hmm, the Turn A and Turn X are only a few MS from the peak of UC technology, wonder what others were there? I wouldn't be surprised if they had time traveling MS xD

[12ock]

this gundam is beyond

[kuahkacang09]

kamen rider decade version of gundam  to me

[SkillrSilvia]

Turn A- the only Gundam capable of wiping out a civilization In one hit.

[BlackHiryu]

If only it didnt look like a mustached mushroom -_-'' it could have been better though..

[ellnats]

wait all the past gundam wars are the black history

[TheOrkutGuy]

Is it me or has anyone else found that the guy with yellow goggles has a similar voice to Kouji Kabuto? o.o'

[Yansu1020]

The person that the illustrator wrote MEGAMAN

[Bonesdman]

hahaha they was watching each other then a clip of Sandrock popped up between them...talk about spooky

[KingLazerman]

LOL a Zaku.

[ExpensiveGun]

Thanks for the subs... oh wait

[Sentinal6]

Does Turn A happen after the UC universe? also where does Gundam after War X fit in? those two i can not figure out where they take place.

[zerax7]

@Sentinal6 I think...

Turn A's CC Is the last Century before CE.. in the series.. they put that order in how the franchise move.

UC, FC, AC and AW... that's the possible thing.

however, outside Turn A world, none of the above have such a relationship.

[TheAnimeOverviewer]

@zerax7 Actually if you look at a chart that shows the timelines, the Cosmic Era takes place before the Correct Century.

[kevinlei92]

@TheAnimeOverviewer

the cosmic era never existed, the whole seed and destiny R non cannon and therefore unworthy of any further discussion, now back to the more important topics

[TheAnimeOverviewer]

@kevinlei92 Sigh, yeah I wish the Cosmic Era never came to exist.

[kevinlei92]

@TheAnimeOverviewer

i like the fact they are paying homage to most gundam models and remaking them--- but the storyline fucking fails, the characters look like retarded and badly drawn kids , and the worst part is, this retarded thing where 'humans' are unable to pilot a mobile suit as good as a 'super human' who had no experiences at all with mobile suits...

atleast 00 was better than that, which makes it atleast 100 times better

[TheAnimeOverviewer]

@kevinlei92 Yeah. I also hated how at the end of Destiny all of the world is now governed by a bunch of totalitarian teenagers.

[XxbeyblademasterxX]

@kevinlei92 You guys really don,t understand do you seed was intented for 21st century teenagers and to add somethings that other gundam series, such as gundam wing lacked further more at the time they were targeting young viewers not the old ones like us who watched it in the 1990's and were focusing more on what the characters were feeling than wars

[XxbeyblademasterxX]

@kevinlei92 You guys really don,t understand do you seed was intented for 21st century teenagers and to add somethings that other gundam series, such as gundam wing lacked further more at the time they were targeting young viewers not the old ones like us who watched it in the 1990's and were focusing more on what the characters were feeling than wars

[ShinnoHitoki000]

i think it doesn't matter where their respective time line they fit in, what important is that they all fall in the same timeline.

[zerax7]

Let add something about Gundam Seed.

Kira is ripped of Loran, by his Characteristics and Plot.

the different is Kira Cries a lot.

Loran and Kira both are Extremely good people, don't want harm both sides.

Loran from Moonrace against Militia

Kira From Zaft against Earth.

Loran and Kira both were puppets to there Militia/Earth Commanders, wanting them to attack for their sake.

So, this is another thing, that seed has stole.

Gundam Seed is A Theft from Remake Time-line

[zerax7]

@zerax7 edit: Loran is Moonrace against his Origins

Kira is Coordinator against His Origins too

[frozenhiphop09]

@zerax7 and who directed it?....mitsuo fukuda.

[DesiGuNDaM]

this was a great show...i was blown away with this episode, they was abile to add this clips of R-78 GUNDAM and WING ZETA n ZZ plus X :D

damn.....happy to see those gundams.... =D

[zerax7]

Turn A ,yes on of the best Gundam Series, i still watching it , i'm currently in episode 17, but honestly i never seen a bad episode, all of them are awesome even the Clips episode (16)..

i rated my 4th Best Gundam Series after Zeta, X and 0083

but maybe better than 0083, but still i need to watch it completely.

also, by seeing this, it seems Tomino Loves Gundam X, most of the Pics are from X, even in the 1st Opening. just X and 0079 which appeared a lot.

X!! seems me and Tomino Have same taste!

[artilleryisbetter]

this gundam series was good but not better then Zeta or Victory

[gundamassassin241]

what???????// i thought turn a was a whole sepreate dimmescion from the universal century. but why did they show gundam double zeta and crap!!!!!!!1

[worldends08]

That's...sad. After all the kickass gundam series, inevitably they all lead toward the future: Turn A Gundam. Not good. I hope it's just an AU.

[EnkerZero]

Subtitles would have been nice.

[zerax7]

which episode this is ?

[RX93NuGundam]

In my opinion it is:

UC can be the beginning of the other era, but looking at the starting of each era, I think After Colony can be considered BEFORE it because in AC they just build a few space colony. While AW can be considered after UC, because there's a scene where the spacenoids are sending lots and lots of colony onto earth in the prolog. Then hundreds or thousand of years after that, Turn A just destroy everything and humanity has returned to zero in terms of technology, culture, etc...

[Vnewbie]

Where are clips of Unicorn Gundam? That's in UC 0096, right? Why aren't there any in the Black History? SEED, Wing and 00 don't count because they're technically completely separate universes.

...I kid, I kid XD

[demonhorse103]

@Vnewbie in my head i think AD of 00 is the very first because they just made mobile suits and space battle ships seed would be after AW and CC is the last so all the Gundam wars in AD, AC, UC, AW and CE are all part of the Black history and CC is ten thousand years after all these centuries that;s how i see it in my eyes and head

[ryumancer]

@demonhorse103 I think AD(00) is its own timeline. Not to mention I think UC came first because it was about 2045 AD (the next year was UC 0001) when they started the colonies while 00 took place in 2307 AD but I think that's an alternate AD. Then AW afterwards because they still have Newtypes. Then I think it would be CE(SEED) because of Coordinators (Newtype ripoffs). And then AC(Wing), Newtypes are extinct. Then FC(G Gundam) would be next and then CC(Turn A) would be long after that.

[rowd149]

@ryumancer Series premiering after Turn A are in their own continuities. Turn A was Tomino's way of wrapping up his involvement in the series. CE also has actual Newtypes (Mu La Flaga). Innovators are really the only Newtype ripoffs, but it's kind of justified because they fulfill the promise that even Newtypes couldn't: they actually establish a branch of humanity that is both suited to and living primarily in space.

[ryumancer]

@rowd149 SEED was actually recently added to the Dark History but 00 is still left out. All the series including SEED, and excluding 00, are one gigantic timeline with each era happening after the other. And plus, CE does NOT have Newtypes, they have Coordinators. And that Mu La Flaga guy was just a powerful Natural with Newtype-reminiscent reflexes.

[rowd149]

@ryumancer SEED was only included in a late-published manga spin-off of Turn A. It's debatable whether that is canon or not, but if we're going to go by what's shown in the show, it isn't. As for Mu, it was stated that he had Newtype abilities via Word of God; you can also see them in his ability to accurately intuit movement in space (in mobile armor, no less), and in his psychic connection to Le Creuset.

[pkemr4]

@ryumancer its kinda obvious AD would be inculsed since thats what would proabley be before UC or CE

[Omegamegamanzx]

@pkemr4

Actually AD (from 00) is not before UC or CE or FC or AC or AW. As in 00, space colonies already exist IN AD. The 00 series is the only series that has not been confirmed to lead into CC and probably will not in my opinion.

This is due to the fact that

1) Their technology is advancing very fast (seen in the movie).

2) Humanity will eventually reach complete innovation.

3) The Turn A was created due to the discovery of the "alien" created Turn X, aliens have already appeared in 00.

[Omegamegamanzx]

@Omegamegamanzx

2) If humanity reaches complete innovation there would be no wars due to the understanding of one another, thus the war between the factions that controlled Turn A and X would never happen even if they were built/found.

4) The epilog of the 00 Movie (2364) suggests that humanity will spread out of the Solar System as they already were able to reach Jupiter by 2314. Thus human technology and civilization (?) would survive the Moonlight Butterfly.

[Omegamegamanzx]

@ryumancer

I'm pretty sure the universes do not into each other as the timeline states they all are separate but all eventually lead INTO Correct Century. (Except for 00)

[kurdtkobain144]

@ryumancer 00 is to take place in are current societies future was stated by the creators well UC ad would b more of a altenate AD where they change over 2 UC

[Hakuru15]

Zeta Gundam ftw

[MultiAnimeotaku]

it would have been cool had they shown all the main gundams from each series before this appear in one titanic battle

[youngotakubwoy]

In my opinion, Turn-a Gundam is the best series after 08th and 0079.

[tyskippi]

@youngotakubwoy are u serious zeta gundam is best

[youngotakubwoy]

@tyskippi thats your opinion

[roflschofel]

@youngotakubwoy I sort of agree whit you but I'd put Turn A on top and the 08th as second.

[youngotakubwoy]

@roflschofel yeah i understan, Turn A is an awesome series. It has everything a classic Tomino show should have

[hardyedward80]

my question is if its history who in the hell recorded all of this footage for them to see

[27volt]

Since they could find mechs buried in mountains on the moon, why not old combat records?

[BlackAce1229]

and why couldnt find any gms or gundams in the moutains like the f91 or heavygun

[pkemr4]

@hardyedward80 chuck norris?

[Axonmyth]

3000 years after Universal Century???

[somewhat117]

So much for just the "Universal Century". They showed Gundam Double X and Gundam Sandrock. <<

[MrSpartan002]

this series basically summed up that uc universe, after colony(wing), after war(gundam x) and future century( g gundam) take place in the same universe just different time.

[SirRoman1998]

Man.. i wish this was either in subtitles, or dubed, cuz turn a looks interesting

[Destinyfire0]

So the Gundam Black History was just an evil Dvd with the most epic scenes in gundam ever....

[oyametalicus]

why is every gundam from the past is in this series???

this mustache freak is getting through my nerves

[27volt]

Respect the Turn A, It can OBLITERATE ANY Gundam.

[oyametalicus]

but people telling us that it's the "BEST"???

no way,I'm not blind,I can see that poor animation it has(like transformers in early 80's)

and that stupid mustache always get in the way!!!

let's say it's the strongest...wanna know why??

because it's the fact that it's ugly,first time I saw it,I thought it was just an anime,when I saw the logo"turn-A",I was like "WHAT THE FUCK!!!???"

it doesn't even look like a gundam,it's a zaku w 2 eyes & a piece of mustache!!

[27volt]

Dude, you didnt even watch it, you know how stupid you look. I like its design, wanna know why? Because its head is actually UPSIDE-DOWN!

[oyametalicus]

and that is why your brain is also UPSIDE DOWN!

you're the one who looks so stupid

see,you like gundams who are UPSIDE DOWN!

UPSIDE DOWN MY ASS

[27volt]

ummm, your the one criticizing a show you havent even watched.

And no, upside-down is cool but I prefer apocalypse style Gundams like the TURN A!

[oyametalicus]

that's a proof that your brain is like a 6 y/o kid who likes characters on steroids..

but hey,I finished turn-Ass and....it's ugly,if you just have any idea of how it suck..(see those comments w/c are not from critics,but from gundam fans who says this turn-A was a total letdown from action figures to the mech design)

you guys just have to give up..you're outnumbered..WAKE UP KIDS!!!!!!

it's time for your adolescence

[27volt]

Dude I'm the same age as you, and my opinion is there to be spoken not judged. And the last bit makes no sense.

Its obvious your trying to get a rise out of me but no its not going to work.

[SirRoman1998]

Just shut the fuck up, Turn a gundam is 3000 year after UC, of course the mobile suits are gonna look different

[oyametalicus]

3000 yrs after UC EH??

to look so different,does it have to be this way????

you should know how this series became a total letdown...on top of that,even action figures were fucked up...

and how about "loran was originally a woman" thing??

[SirRoman1998]

Loran was originally a woman? Well i guess the creator wanted somthing different than the other series, and i kno the that the show was unsuccessful, the thing i just dont get is why are there Zakus in this.

[oyametalicus]

yes,they intended a woman in the series...however,the "BOSS" of sunrise company is on contrary to that because that's prohibited...

the reason why tere are zakus here is because this series is trying to pay tribute to those past gundam series....obviously they failed...

[Randomnormality]

Tomino wasnt trying to to pay tribute to the past gundam series. Why would he pay tribute to something he did? Turn A is set 2000 years after all gundam centuries. They were just references to the past and the destruction of humanity.

[oyametalicus]

then,where's the trademark horns in the forehead??

oh...I know,they put it on its mouth

[frozenray0079]

he was doing both.

[Randomnormality]

well it was awesome either way

[toadyboy20]

the zakus and other random mobile suits were hidden in the mountain cycles so thats why they are in this.

[Chris2Hikari]

Turn A was mad ein 1999/2000.... >.> That 80's an 70's animation in it is making references to past Gundams.

Turn A is the most powerful Gundam in any series og Gundam inspite of not looking the best xD. It is after all the only one that destroyed the enitre world with it's Moonlight Butterfly.

[MrSpartan002]

yup currently turn a is the strongest gundam. unless they make something even more overpowered.

[triipge]

gundam 00, gn sword 3

[MrSpartan002]

what about it

[DesiGuNDaM]

@27volt

this was a great show...i was blown away with this episode, they was abile to add this clips of R-78 GUNDAM and WING ZETA n ZZ plus X :D

damn.....happy to see those gundams.... =D

[ShinnoHitoki000]

You mean, OBLITERATE ALL TECHNOLOGIES IT CAN TOUCH.

Turn A: I AM THE ULTIMATE GUNDAM! FEAR ME! RESPECT ME! BBOOOOOOWWWWW TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[danberner]

@27volt more like it sent humans back to the stone age.

[shadowEXE]

2:55 That dude's talking about how the Zaku's everywhere.

[X23SSaviourGundam]

Turn-A links together everything before Turn-A, basically somewhere along to Universal Century they turned into After Colony, After War and Future Century, although I think the order of it is more along the lines of Future Century, Universal Century, After War and After Colony, but then again I never saw "Gundam X", It's kinda cool

[X23SSaviourGundam]

Kinda eerie, thinking about how many years passed from the beginning of "Universal Century" to "After War" we're talking the possibility of thousands maybe Millions of years from the first series

[KatomaMundara]

Did anyone else notice the Sand Rock kai Custom from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz? AC is somehow linked to UC!? What the HELL!

[wwwingzerooo]

Then Katoki's Gundam version is canon than the TV ver...

[KatomaMundara]

Katoki's Wing did look a LOT better than the anime one. I just don't like how the WZ came out in EW. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice suit, but it had 1/2th the BR power if you payed close attention.

[Coordinator601]

It would be really cool if they remade Gundam Wing, but this time they used Hajime Katoki's redesigns of the Gundams instead of the original.

[KatomaMundara]

Katoki is the one who made the redesigned Wing that seemed bad *censored* right? Yeah, I'd love to see Katoki completely redesign Wing and fix that damned Story.

[HamanKarn85]

i love this series... and ZZ Gundam

[StrikeFreedomKira33]

fans of gundam seed, read this:

All of Seed's designs are ripped off of other series, take the truth.

For example: the Zgmf-X10A Freedom is a rip-off of the Double X gundam from After War Gundam X and the F91 Gundam from Gundam F91

[27volt]

I think most of them already know that.....

[devilhacker86]

i know that from the very beginning i watch seed and i dont see that as a problem?

[aikoarisaka420]

The Strike Freedom is also ripped off from the Hi-Nu Gundam.

[Zerokaiser00]

@StrikeFreedomKira33 sorry for the late reply. but isn't it strange to hear this from a guy's username from Seed? lol no offense

[oyametalicus]

@StrikeFreedomKira33 never forget hi-nu :)

[ZeonsSilverStar]

So that was Black History well it was very interesting to say the least. It really makes you think.

[DangerousD6969]

kinda wish we had subtitles

[titan1990omega]

To bad they didn't show clips of victory or z gundam

[franzboyet]

there are probably some but was not focused like those in the background

[27volt]

ZZs there if you look closely.

[neostargazer]

for me hi-nu gundam is the best gundam:)

[MasterxMaverick]

legendery series at 1:37 and the best gundams ever created.

[boomstix]

meh just bunch of marty stus in indestructible suits.

UC era gundams are way better

[shadowcutter47]

Wait... the clips from X means the events in that storyline happened. So...wouldn't that mean that the Earth was majorly messed up before the moonlight butterfly was released?

[DangerousD6969]

turn a was the last series made in the 90's, then Gundam Seed followed after 2002

[oyametalicus]

it's "turn-Ass"

[ace28]

Actually, the correct term used in the show was "Dark History."

[ciprianobabula]

Agreed, I don't remember African-Americans using giant robots to secure their civil rights. Would have been kick ass though XD

[animepsyco25]

why does this have bh in it's title?

[ClownUnit02]

Turn A Gundam is set several thousand years in the future, and Black History refers to the time period when wars rocked the Earth and mobile suits reigned the field of battle (basically all of the other Gundam programs). Don't confuse it with U.S. Black History Month, though. Quite different. >.>

[animepsyco25]

oh, lol.

[009090]

I love it when people do that "Say WHAT?!" and get offended....

[deonace]

If u all noticed , most of the wars in the gundam series were between earth and space colonies.

[Casquetron]

actually all of the gundam series feature wars of earth vs space colonies, the only one that doesn't have that is the new one Gundam 00

[ddx420]

you missed seed/seed destiny, astray, stargazer, all the other SEED spinoffs, etc. they were created in 2000s while this was late 1990s.

[manwhalebird]

And G Gundam.

[yepdrinker]

it's maybe ugly to some, but it looks great to me, Cause it's unique.

[HechEff]

Turn-A is awesome in its own way.

At least it's been remodelled to fitting standards unlike Syd Mead's original design (hint: It's FAT).

If this will be reanimated in the future, using the Katoki version is fine too.

[yepdrinker]

is there a place I can see syd mead's design?

[uresai]

aight man Cool with that i give you a thubs Ups

[uresai]

i do Draw Manga and What I sayd Is My point of view. I do think turn a Gundam Mobile suits arent the Prettiest and I have the right to scream it everywhere i want.ignorant comments you say? From all The Gundam Series I've watched comments have been the Same Turn a Gundam did not have the Greatest Design and Thats It

[poindizzle]

O.K., so every person that posts some inarticulate comment like omg, so ugly, is an artist and has the right to critique, and is therefore 100% correct. If you dislike the Turn A mech designs, then that is your right, and you are 100% correct to call that. But why do you pick a random Turn A video and trash it? It just seems strange to me.

[poindizzle]

By the way, I'm not trying to say you're ignorant, just that inarticulate little comment. I just want people to think before they post, and just be respectful. If this was an offensive or ignorant video then I think that the negative comments are justifiable. This video isn't offensive, it's just a cartoon that someone likes and felt like sharing, and if you don't just say no thanks and move along.

[uresai]

turn a gunam gundams r so ugly God
