  • This show has a high seventies scifi attitude. That's why I like it !

  • I've watched some recent mobile suit shows, and I gotta say that the animation quality has gone down. It's like mishmash of computer graphics, it looks so fake, not smooth and seamless like here.

  • where are more THAT DONT HAVE SHITTY SONGS WITH IT?!?!?

  • this battle is soo sad

  • gundam wing was so cool, first gundam series to not have the pilots wear any protective gear

  • @TheChech64 what about G Gundam? technically their suits are only used to pilot their gundams

  • wish I had a gundam

  • Wufei must be getting sick of people letting him win fights...

  • linked this to my blog as a fun reference...very cool video and one of my favorite anime scenes ever...ever.

  • Nataku is such a badass Gundam. I prefer it to Wing Zero by far.

  • i would like to say thank you for posting this with the original script and not horrible death metal music that has no relationship to the video when every part of it has a meaning to it 

  • Cant believe when i was a kid, all i really looked for was the lightsabers, fighting, lasers, and more fighting. The story and its plot depicts so much hidden and deeper meaning behind it, in which now i can understand.

  • Wu Fei's kind of odd. He simply can't accept the fact that Traze and Nataku are dead. All this "I fighting for all soldiers" stuff is total nonsense. He just couldn't accept the loss of the people close to him. Endless Waltz was really about him letting go of his wife and best friend.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    Nonsense? You're wrong. He had already accepted his wife's death and Treize's as well. Among the things that led him to join Mariemaia was believing that conflict can bring about true peace, a philosophy Treize held as well. Captain Broden, a Treize loyalist he met in the manga Battlefield of Pacifists, attempted to be a threat to the Earth and bring about progress but was killed. So Wufei decided he would take on the task. Mariemaia's army was a convenient way to do it.

  • @Ginga Never heard of Battlefield of Pacifists, but near the end of Endless Waltz he said "This Traze, is my goodbye." As in he didn't consider Traze gone until then. He even said in this battle that he hadn't let go of Traze yet! "You're wrong! I still continue to fight him even now." As for Nataku, the reason he called his Mobile Suit that even when it wasn't officially called that was because it held her spirit. He didn't truly lay her to rest until he blew up the Gundam.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    Just search for BoP on Google. It's there.

    It's all down to interpretation, but to me, Wufei saying he was still fighting Treize and saying goodbye to him were more in regards to philosophies. Treize's death almost directly led to the year-long peace before Mariemaia showed up. By joining her, he was testing Treize's beliefs(talked about in BoP) despite their history.

    I know why Wufei called his suit Nataku. And I can agree he only truly laid his wife to rest in EW.

  • @Ginga I guess since Wing is more a character study than a giant robot show, saying it's up for interpretation is fair. From what little I've found about it though, Battlefield of Pacifists is a side story that may or may not be cannon based on what you want from the story as a whole. That being said, since I haven't read it I don't include it. I see Endless Waltz as Wu Fei relapsing into his spoiled rich kid roots.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    Battlefield of Pacifists IS canon. Along with Blind Target, both mangas serve as a bridge from the series to EW. They both had series staff writers working on them.

    I really don't see how he was he was a "spoiled rich kid". He didn't agree Meiran's ideals and didn't want to help change the world, but spoiled? I don't see it.

  • @Ginga "Screw the world, I just want to sit around and read even though I know I can make a difference" is pretty selfish. He disagreed with Nataku because he was a spoiled rich kid. He didn’t understand how she could care about anything because he always had everything provided for him.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    There's a difference between being selfish and being spoiled. Not believing justice or that a single person could change the course of history doesn't equate to being spoiled. None of us know what his upbringing was like before what we saw in Episode Zero.

    Again, interpretation plays a big part in this analysis. Wufei obviously has his flaws but I don't think being spoiled was one of them.

  • @Ginga In the Post Script of his chapter they say he was raised in wealth.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    You're right. Still, it doesn't necessarily mean he was spoiled. And I completely disagree him joining the Mariemaia Army, still feeling he was fighting Treize or not believing in the peace at that time had much to do with his upbringing.

  • @Ginga I'm not so much saying that his upbringing was the cause, just that it affected him here. Without fighting he has nothing. Not his beliefs, not his wife, not his best friend. All he can do is lash out. The other reason I feel like this is more a temper tantrum (kidding, he's not that bad) is because of all the contradictions and falsehoods in his dialogue. Wu Fei's utter lack of logic in these scenes speaks to his character.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    I can agree without fighting he had nothing. He'd lost his wife before the war and entire colony during it. Blind Target showed with some people that were likely part of the Long Clan but he had still lost his hope.

    Where were the contradictions and falsehoods in his dialogue during EW though?

  • @Ginga "I'm fighting for the soldiers!" No, by starting this war you made their sacrifice pointless. "Humanity did not change one bit!" Yes it did! The Earth Sphere had no weapons but the Tallgeese III and a single privately owned Taurus. "Relena's belief that peace is attained by discarding weapons is wrong." Well it was working just fine till you showed up!

    These are just a few (okay, most of the) examples. Wu Fei's just grasping at straws for a reason to fight.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    He didn't start a war. It was revolution but it didn't escalate to a full war. To him, he was fighting for soldiers that only knew how to fight & had been discarded. I think it's debatable whether he was in the wrong.

    You honestly think Tallgeese III and Noin's Taurus were the ONLY weapons Earth had? For the sake of the story, those were the only suits deployed, but they had others, as referenced in the novel. But he wasn't simply referencing the collection of arms there...

  • @Ginga

    As we saw when Mariemaia's army landed, no one was willing to fight for the peace that had been earned. It took Relena's brief message and Dorothy goading a group of people for them to realize peace isn't simply handed to you and you must fight for it.

    Zechs and Treize had played their part at the end of the series. But Wufei was right, humanity didn't change.Of course, ALL of humanity didn't change after Mariemaia's uprising but those who stood up to the Serpents certainly did.

  • @Ginga But humanity DID change. Before the Eve war people would fight for any reason, now they won't fight at all. Wu Fei didn't personally start the war, but he did help escalate it. Yeah, you could say it's a revolution, but that's beside the point. And Gundam novels are NEVER cannon. The best example is Char's Counterattack, where in the novel Char and Amuro are both found dead. In the movie, while it is possible that they died, it's just as likely that they lived.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    Humanity didn't change. The battles before the Eve Wars were between Romefeller and "rebels". The citizens were affected but no involved. They never realized what it took to win peace. Simply discarding weapons and soldiers wasn't it. They had to be willing to fight. Even the ESUN president mentioned how few would stand up to Mariemaia during EW. Eventually, when the people were willing to push back, Wufei himself realized a battle like that wasn't about the soldiers.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    Frozen Teardrop IS canon. It's being penned by one of the three script-writers for the series, Sumisawa, along with the manga The Glory of Losers. Not only are both the novel and manga expanding the AC universe, new models are being released to coincide with GW's 15th anniversary.

  • @Ginga So was Char's Counterattack, and that's non-cannon because it conflicts with established continuity.  Same applies here.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    It doesn't apply. CCA drew elements from both the Beltorchika's Children and High Streamer novels. Once CCA was released, it rendered them non-canon. FT and GoL are expanding what we saw in anime. So far, there have been some notable contradictions with the anime in the GoL but not enough to declare it and the novel non-canon and ignore new info. in them all together.

  • @Ginga You're using way too many acronyms for me to know what you're talking about in this one.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    CCA: Char's Counterattack

    BoP: Battlefied of Pacifists (manga)

    FT: Frozen Teardrop (novel)

    GoL: Glory of Losers (manga)

  • @Ginga Thanks, I've never seen Char's Counterattack abbreviated...

  • @Ginga This however is avoiding the greater point! Wu Fei had no real reason to fight. The world was at peace, all the "bad guys" were dead, and there was no need for weapons anymore. That's what both he and Traze fought to achieve. You did it! You single handedly changed the world! Stop provoking another war!

    This was just the Barton family's selfish bid for world domination and Wu Fei helped them because he couldn't let go of Traze or Nataku.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    Well, we're right back at square one. Again, if you'd take note of the events of BoP(which actually happened) and see how they influenced Wufei, you'd see his decision to join the Mariemaia Army had nothing to do with his wife. It did involve TREIZE but it wasn't exactly a case of not being unable to let him go.

  • @Ginga And my problem with that is it makes everything Wu Fei said and did make no sense. The world was at peace. The world was going to stay at peace indefinitely. There was no point to the second Eve War. This was the Barton family's bid for world domination. Nothing more, nothing less. The Barton's do not represent humanity as a whole. One wealthy group of megalomaniacs does not invalidate everything else that had happened.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    How does it make what he said senseless? Just because the world was at peace didn't mean humanity truly valued it or were willing to fight for the peace if threatened. As Broden mentioned in BoP, it was Treize's belief that threats to humanity can bring about progress. This was ultimately proved true. Wufei wanted to test this theory, which goes back to him saying he was still fighting Treize. He acknowledged he was becoming evil to find this out along with what true peace was.

  • @Ginga But the world was at peace! If they had just gotten rid of Dekem Barton none of this would have been necessary. And the fact is that it was Heero's words that changed Wu Fei's mind. Wu Fei wasn't fighting for any ideals. Heero told him by doing what you're doing you're going to cause everything we did to be erased. Heero was right. Wu Fei may have used what happened in BoP as part of his excuse, but the fact is he was just lost.

  • @Godof0Thousand

    Yep. We can agree there.

  • @Godof0Thousand i have to agree with ginga on this one. is wasnt until they had their backs against the wall that the people began to fight for their freedom against marimea. the war was over but the people didn't learn from it. both heero and wufeis standpoints make sense. its just the way wufei went about his views that made him seem illogical. wufei allowed dekim to attack earth to see if the people would fight back. at first, it seemed that wufei was right.

  • @kidstandout92 The issue isn't just Wu Fei logic here, the issue is WHY he joined. He used the ideology as an excuse. He didn't want to let go of Traize and Nataku. That's why he said "We are only able to acknowledge our existence on the battlefield!" He was referring to his wife. His rants aren't total nonsense (he wouldn't fight for no reason at all), but in the end, this is just a spoiled rich boy throwing a world-class temper tantrum.

  • @Godof0Thousand relenas policy of total pacifism made the people afraid to resist. but when relena ackowledges pacifism wasnt the answer, she told the people to fight back to earn their peace. in the end wufei is wrong but right at the same time. the world hadn't changed but repeating history wont change it. only progress can bring about change. on a side note, this is probably the most philosophical anime to ever be made. plus its awesome to watch too

  • @kidstandout92 That said though, this did in fact help humanity. His growth ended up growing the whole world. Huh... (If Dekem wasn't also having a world-class temper tantrum none of this would be necessary in the first place, but whatever...) As for it being the most philosophical anime of all time... well, yeah it is! I like to say Wing is more of a character study than a giant robot show. Been watching it for more than a decade and I'm still learning new things about it!

  • Try to imagine if wufai actually fell asleep and Heero passes by him LOL!

  • @danwinsia

    That would have been hilarious.

  • Whenever I see this, I imagine Superman battling Green Lantern.

  • I have never understood Wu Fei.

  • @darksword101

    Read the mangas "Episode Zero" and "Battlefield of Pacifists". They give you an insight into his thinking.

  • @Ginga Great, I have seen episode Zero but not battlefield of Pacifists. That one has eluded me for so long I have lost interest in it. Anyways we shouldn't need supplementary material like BOP just to understand his character.

  • @darksword101

    I couldn't find it online for the longest but I have found it a good while ago. A quick search in Google brings it up.

    I hear what you're saying but supplemental material defines all the pilots in GW in some way. Simply watching the series and EW doesn't give you a full view into what's behind Duo for example.

  • Nostalgia, I have to see if I still have the DVD of this movie!

  • Wufei is lucky Heero was being defensive and trying to help him, else that fight wouldn't ahve progressed into the atmosphere i think.

  • Wufei's beliefs are exactly like Big Boss's from the MGS series.

  • @guy9787

    Oh ya, you're right.

  • @guy9787

    How?

  • @Ginga

    Both believe that war is the only way where a soldier can truly feel alive and without it a soldier has no place.

  • @guy9787

    Fair enough. I thought Wufei felt that way to an extent.

  • Wufei's opponents keep sacrificing themselves =/

  • Wufei has always been my least favorite of the Gundam Pilots. That being said I always liked the side that he represents... I mean while I may not like him... he has always been instrumental in the story. Such a powerful story to absorb when your a kid... but it really was something that changed my world view, and had a really powerful effect on how I choose to live my life.

  • Wufei is my fav Gundam Boy. ^_^ And I bought this movie at an anime convention! I was so happy.

  • I broke the like button.

  • Wufei is such a piece of shit. And I'm not just saying that because he ruined a perfectly good suit.

  • @FolstrimHori ruined it...he kinda did i mean the fangs were better then claws but still...fuck your right man nataku is shit compared to altron, the rest of the custom versions though rock.

  • @FolstrimHori

    He ruined the suit? What the fuck are you talking about? 

  • Wufei was my least Favorite character

    .

  • They're not fighting with their gundams, they're fighting with their philosophies.

  • @shaneymane15 i like your comment but i would say they're fighting with both their gundams and their philosophies.

  • So basically war is not worth the risk of collateral damage ie. the death of civilians. Its true, the moral is, you have to value human life in order to end war.

  • This is great video.

    The fight scene is great however, the music is different maybe because of the music of the special edition movie but I remember a different song when Heero is telling Wufei about killing the girl and her dog.

    Other than that this is a great video

  • one of the best gundam fights ever...and it feel like goku vs vegeta fight in this one dont it? gundam wing FTW!

  • what i hate is that they are the same voice actors as many other animes, such as ranma 1/2 and inuyasha, but hey they needed the job i guess...

  • "I need to determine whether or not peace at the expense at people's lives can really be defined as peace." The best line and meaningful.

  • @MarioKing67 My favorite was, "... And I will become evil itself to find out."

  • Thank you for not ruining this with random music.

  • @SensuWaKawata - Agreed !

  • @SensuWaKawata I could not agree more

  • Thank you for not making a friggin AMV

  • "I still continue to fight him even now!"

    The most epic line in the movie.

  • thx man always wanted to know why they fought each other in this movie thx for uploading the clip

  • thank you soooooo much for uploading this its the faveroute scene from endless waltz in my opinion i just love it and the words heero says are just brilliant

  • gundam wing's version of goku vs vegeta

  • @Deuzday zero vs epyon

  • @Deuzday fuck yeah

  • the shooting star effect of their entries from a distance at 2:27 (it's really short) and nataku's parachute at 2:31 are cool details i noticed

  • @RayDandy actually the shooting star effect is at 2:28

  • Ok quality of one of my favorite scenes in gundam wing endless waltz. Thanks

  • That is an incredible video.

    I've been wanting a video with that conversation between the two,

    and now I have it.

  • @MrArcadia2009 your very welcome :) I'll see if I can post another :)
