IF YOU HATE THIS OVA I HATE YOU OKAY

[MrLunitunz]

SNAKE!!!

[jaunmkj78]

OMG SOOOO SAD CRYING IM SORRY I CANT HELP MYSELF

[boomstix]

@jaunmkj78 cant blame you dammit i dunno how many times I watched this part it just gets me all the time, if theres gonna be a good anti-war anime it would be this one

[BlackDeathViral03]

It's sad, though bernie has to be one of the bravest characters in the entire gundam universe. Taking on a Gundam with a Zaku isn't something you see anyone doing willingly

[boomstix]

@BlackDeathViral03 so true by far Bernie's one of my most favorite characters screw those seed, wing characters Bernie's more human and fleshed out more than all of them combined

[Ginga]

@boomstix

Your second statement is pretty dumb. It's much easier to develop a character in a mini-series as story-driven as War in the Pocket is. You don't have to worry about numerous mobile suits and many supporting characters.

[boomstix]

@Ginga yes thats the point aside from supporting characters the newer gundam series has become a toy anime that cares more on churning a lot of gundams for kids to buy and mary sues for fanboys/girls to swoon over.

and i believe OVAs are harder for character development since its short so it forces writers to make those minutes count

[Ginga]

@boomstix

I agree with your first point to an extent.

To your 2nd point though, again, I disagree. Speaking specifically about "War in the Pocket", the story was made for character development. The main character is a boy and in the 6 episodes, there are 4 mobile suit battles, all rather short. The writers would have to be idiots for Alfred not to be changed by his experience. I'm not saying they didn't do a great job but the setting & premise lent themselves to character development.

[Ginga]

@BlackDeathViral03

Not to downplay Bernie's bravery but a good number of characters in UC took on a Gundam in a Zaku.

[dchris1990]

@Ginga not to downplay bernie's bravery but... um... he doesnt have the greatest reason for fighting... because if he had won, he wouldve ended up killing the random gundam pilot, and idk if thats worth 'proving something ephemeral to yourself." yea, just wanted to say that...

but i'm so in love with this OVA. Horrible ending for bernie and christina though :'(

[Ginga]

@dchris1990

What exactly did you say? Bernie DID have legitimate reasons to fight. He didn't want to see Al or Christina die and he'd lost his entire unit.

[dchris1990]

@Ginga um... its like, couldnt he have turned himself in and warned the federation himself, instead of getting al to do it after he died? and Berney said that he WASNT fighting for revenge for his fallen unit! :(

[Ginga]

@dchris1990

Have you watched this video? Bernie didn't want to do what you suggested because it would have been the easy way out. He said he didn't want to avenge his unit but finishing the mission for them had to have played in part in his subconscious reasoning(that he admitted to not understanding) for wanting to fight the Gundam.

[dchris1990]

@Ginga ok i wont continue this thread after this... i'm just saying that if all had gone well for bernie, some random grunt (who just happened to be Mackenzie the hot redhead :P) would have died. to me, i'd rather be a 'coward,' then kill another human being for no reason. well, i guess thats it. take care ginga.

[Ginga]

@dchris1990

You do realize this was towards the end of a WAR right? In war, soldiers fight and people get killed. YOU may rather be a coward but that Bernie didn't want to be a coward and fought when he didn't have to is what makes him such a great character.

[ThePatriotMuckraker]

@Ginga

+1



[tasihuzako]

such a tragedy.

though Bernie lives in some g generation games. you can use him as a pilot xD

[extraleague01]

We all know Al will never hate the Gundam pilot. So sad ChrisxBernie ended in such manner...

[samareaye]

DAVID HAYTER!

[KOSANX2]

does he speak with Austrarian accent in the story?

EF soldier mentioned he speaks with Australian accent.

Because I'm not good at English and only watchedt in Japanese version, I don't get it. I heard Garcia speaks with Spanish accent and Micha speaks with Russian accent. Is that right?

[Xenobiarch]

@KOSANX2 well that's nothing like an australian accent in this clip if that's what you mean ^^ don't watch gundam myself, just followed a route of david hayter links and got here. david hayter <3

[colbyweaver5]

bernie was a fuckin best

[Spartanz1170]

After watching this I just HAVE to ask this...

Who wants Burgers?

Also, Bernie you are a model soldier for both Zeon and Feddie, shame both became corrupt they could use you as an example of what en should fight for

[arcspartan]

Watched the series a second time and I still cried like a bitch.

[acp1778]

the federation soldiers were a bit cruel calling his remains hamburger. I would have said the pilot is dead sir or sir the pilot perished.

[soldier4670]

@acp1778 I guess, if you get used to it in war, you wouldn't really care that much.

[Idolores]

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!

[Darkshaunz]

21 fucking salamis salute.

[drsyn]

Bernie ;_;

[thesnake383]

Bernard Wiseman; voiced by the legendary David Hayter a.k.a the legendary Solid Snake.

Bernie is very wise. "Don't hate the enemy. They are just simply doing what they think is right."

[arcspartan]

I cried like a bitch.

[Snoogma]

I cried like a double bitch.

[Ginga]

I just watched War in the Pocket last night and Bernie is definitely my favorite pilot in any universe now. He is the definition of a tragic hero. He didn't owe anyone in the colony anything but he fought bravely for them. What he lacked in skill, he made up for in resourcefulness.

[octoslut]

@Ginga

lacked skill are you serious, he was not bad of a pilot problem was his suit zaku 2 kai was good but still way inferior then alex gundam.

[Ginga]

@octoslut

I never said Bernie was a bad pilot but he sure as hell wasn't a good one. The guy was a green rookie who got shot down on his first mission. Yes, his Zaku was inferior to the Alex but Bernie simply didn't have the piloting skills to prolong the battle.

[octoslut]

@Ginga

from my point i would say bernie > chris. she relied on the gundam too much. zaku wasn't just inferior it was a big difference between them, gundam was way faster, more powerful and had extremely strong armor aka gundarium for zaku's weapon to beat.

[Ginga]

@octoslut

I don't see how Chris "relied" on the Gundam. She piloted the suit. What else was she supposed to do? As for who the better pilot was between her and Bernie, that's debatable. Chris hadn't fought in a real battle herself so even though she was piloting a superior suit, she was basically a rookie too. I'm not comparing the two but like Chris, Amuro took some shots when he first started piloting his Gundam.

[octoslut]

@Ginga

true

[TekkaSage]

@octoslut It goes to show you strategy and tactics can really make the difference. The gundam definitely out classed the Zaku Kai in every way however, I just like to point out that the Alex is made of a lunar titanium alloy and not gundarium. You're thinking of Gundam Wing.

[octoslut]

@TekkaSage

lunar titanium alloy was renamed to gundarium later on, check zeta. gundanium is from wing, but its later revealed to be Lunar Titanium alloy. there fore connecting UC with AC. gundanium = gundarium = lunar titanium alloy.

[TekkaSage]

@octoslut Oh ok, you through me off cause you're using terms for metals from later series introduced in Zeta and I never paid too much attention to all those details. Interestingly enough after looking it up I found the Gundam MKII was not made of Gundarium alloy.

[octoslut]

@TekkaSage

yes mk 2 didn't have any gundarium, could be due to high cost of putting it on a ms. mk2 is still awesome slightly based on rx-78 series, but that's where the similarities end. mk2 series was huge upgrade in performance, firepower and electronics.

[chinquecfro44]

The situational irony b/w Bernie and Chris is nerve wrecking.

[octoslut]

@chinquecfro44

well yeh chris basically killed her lover without knowing it. sad story

[karlmarx2010]

snake snake snaaaake!!!!!

[HechEff]

YOU CAN'T GO AND DO THINGS LIKE THIS!

[mikunisunset]

[BombingCarpets]

yeah, it's obvious that david hayter voices bernie.

[CudaMan69]

I'm in the mood for a hamburger now.

[frozenchaos9]

I cried at this part.

[ffmusicdj]

Me too ;_;

[gundamalex226]

bernie should have never died christy and him were made for each other.

[Cadiangrunt99]

Well they end up together Robot Wars 3, the main charaters intercept a comm transmission from Bernie to his CO and Chris verbally smacks him untill he joins you. XD So somewhere they did get a happy ending. :)

[oldfashionedguy91]

I can't find that game anywhere so I'm assuming it's rare or was never realeased here?

[Cadiangrunt99]

Ya it never came out here to to copy right issues however there is an fan translation out there. Though it's old in several other games you can save Bernie too. :D Normally he does end up with Chris as her boyfriend. >D

[oldfashionedguy91]

Any of those games come out here? lol

[Kalindush]

BERNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sephirius]

Bernie ;_;

[sanderfirer]
