Gundam 00 - Graham doesn't surpass Ashura today in the English Dub of episode 18!

[flamesword300]

okay wats the differance between the flags sword and a beam saber because to me they seem like they're the same thing and equal combat wise.

[SpiketheHedgehog0]

@flamesword300

The thrones beam sabers can be connected directly to the GN drive, which makes it more powerful than a regualr flag saber or beam saber. Check out the GN Flag vs Exia fight to check what I mean.

[diamlierx]

dub sucks dirtydonkey balls

[dzus123]

@diamlierx GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE TROOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[diamlierx]

@dzus123 its troll you fucking crack slut learn how to spell assjack

[zombiekiller2045]

people are surprised he didn't use "ashura"? really? No one watching the dub would know what that means anyways, unless the watched one of the subs that had it explained in subtext.

[GUNDAM00745]

fuck the english dub...aker doesnt sound american nor serious enough. bleh...

on a side note: gundam? who needs gundam when you have Aker? lol

[LordROSFH]

@GUNDAM00745 i thumbs up your 2nd comment xD

[JDTSTUDIOS]

He doesn't care how much better your machine is.

[CgPallaeon]

my body can't take this many cheese

[Starknight94]

Go Overflag ^^

[ThePross753]

0:21 pressing buttons all day ._.

[iriyabran]

can't stop facepalming... avenging angel

and what's with the sissy voice

that's why i hate dubs xD

[dmadrea]

who the hell is ashura?

[HoIlowlchigo]

@dmadrea reaper or deathgod.

[dmadrea]

@HoIlowlchigo thanks

[cutiexgalx411]

@dmadrea actually its a god of chaos or death, i forget what culture it was from

[SpiritsRise]

every time i watch this i cant help but think about the team america theme song

[SymbioteBrumak]

Even a superior Mobile Suit has its limits when up against a superior Pilot.

Quoted from CHAR.

[smcneal057]

@SymbioteBrumak

Couldn't have been said any better by a great character.

[DarthFanta]

What are Gs?

[ApsalusSigma]

@DarthFanta The force you feel from going really fast, when your sitting a a computer you feel about 1 G. Think of it as the faster you go, the stronger gravity seems to get. witch can and will crush you.

[itsgian]

@DarthFanta Gforc- no. Cheese. It's cheese. His body can't take any more cheese.

[TheConsortiumMember]

HE KICK YO ASS EINS!!!! 

[Ginga]

This scene made me somewhat of a Graham fan; the guy has serious skills. Too bad all the fights of his I've seen so far have been so short.

[MultiDemon123]

Its supose to be "today i will even supass Ashura" Not " Today im abow that"

God damn it! Its wrong!!!!!

[genox6]

Am I the only one that can't stop laughing at the screaming mob at 0:12 - 0:17? It has to be the most hilarious part of this entire series. Or at least the dub.

[Tomnuki]

Nope, you're not the only one.

ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­ohnomoveitohnomoveitohnomoveit­AAAAAHHHHH

[Szriko]

Who gives a shit about a terrible series changing a single word?

Before Machdude comes to the rescue by calling others wapanese, I was linked to this by someone.

[Jin94Jin]

Graham Acker is now one of my faves in 00. He's a little nuts.

[RyotheTiger]

Wow so they changed one word? Big deal. Only a fucking weaboo would care about this.

[Machdude]

Apparently you've never heard of fandom. But then again, you are watching anime so wouldn't that be a hypocrite much, Weeaboo?

If you really could care less then stop watching what others are watching. And if you understood what they are actually saying, you would note that the dialogue went through some Woolseyism. And English Voice acting sucks big time.

[Machdude]

Compared to the rest of the series, it has quite a good plot. The premises is ambitious but it was well thought out unlike Fukuda who screwed up a normally good premises.

[RyotheTiger]

@Machdude I mostly hate the characters. Way too girly lookin.

[Machdude]

The same goes for pretty much every other Gundam series including the universal century ones. Face it, Gundam has always had a solid number of pretty boys. If you wanted manly, you could try something that is not of the mecha genre because it is populated with pretty boys.

[K3eOne]

WTF? wow so you wanna see ugly main characters? Naruto has pretty much fucked up face sometimes you go watch it? you stupid complaining whore.

[Machdude]

Excuse me, are you talking to me? If you want to complain I'm all ears but quite frankly, Masashi Kishimoto added what is called diversity into his cast. No one said it had to be pretty.

[aramiris]

@RyotheTiger

indeed

the animations are pretty good, good battle music, pretty good plot, but the characters really suck

it has probably the worst masked man in the entire gundam franchise, this MSs Bushido cant compete with Char , or Rau la creuset or Zechs marquise

also gundam 00 has the worst main female peaceloving character ( marina ismail ) she is so much below Lacus Cline and much much worse than Relene Darlian/Peaacecraft

[Kanuskiz]

@aramiris

well, the thing about Graham is that he didn't want to be a masked man,

and he probably didn't like his codename. Good thing he loses both in the

upcoming sequel movie.

[aramiris]

@Kanuskiz

speaking of the movie, does anyone know when they are going to release it?

[Kanuskiz]

@aramiris

yup, in September...

[destronnl]

@aramiris

Premiere is on September 18, 2010 in Japan. I think the Bluray and DVD version will be released early 2011 in Japan and after it's released someone will sub it I guess.

[ndalum75]

@destronnl rrobbert184 has a spoiler and non-spoiler review up now(he lives in japan). Unfortunately it seems the movie wasn't very good.

[destronnl]

@ndalum75

Heard about the spoilers, not really what most would expect. I liked season 1 the most and I was a bit disappointed with how silly season 2 was at some points and from the sound of it the movie is even more silly and also far fetched.

[zombiekiller2045]

@destronnl it's only far fetched in the way the series was always far fetched, and doesn't even have any last minute new-form-upgrades that happen to activate at extremely convient times(trans am, trans am burst) the movie doesn't do anything the other series didn't, except higher quality and having Arios actually be better armed then a small gun and a beam saber.

[aramiris]

@Kanuskiz

and I expect to find it subed on the internet as a torrent on the 19th of september

SWEET

[Kanuskiz]

@aramiris

September 19th? LOL

[aramiris]

@Kanuskiz

why not, after all there are TONS of fans outhere who will imediately translate the damn thing, which will take the whole night, true, but they will do it, and the next morning, or maybe at noon we will have at least 1 torrent with the subed version, but the japs will have a torent version on 18th, lucky bastards, LOL

[Kanuskiz]

@aramiris

but then, it'll be a screener, and I don't like LQ video like screeners.

[goldman77700]

@aramiris You sound like one of those fans since you're so eager to watch it. LOL

[demsgct]

graham ´s voice sucks in english

[commando21]

wow that was awsome!

[Hatsumi92]

i actualy enjoy this dub alot.

[nakobass28]

Even in english, its still badass.

[twotonesamurai]

the greatest char clone in the history of ever!

graham acre is my fav characters from season 1 by miles and miles miles :)

[LyricalFatechan]

Nah, that title goes to Harry Ord. Harry Ord is even more awesome than the original Char.

[twotonesamurai]

Harry Ord is a legend and he is a fucking bad ass in his gild SUMO but nothing beats the original char my friend nothing

[badcompanyreject]

i have a new respect for the over flag

[Jaysondk]

haha Graham is on drugs!

[AkerGraham]

fuck you

[Zungli]

Does anyone have a link to the original clip? The Japanese version I mean.

[ShinyaMerveilles666]

look for a user named terrumikami. he has it

[Spazzer]

"My body can't take this many G's"

That's what she said.

[IvannLiang]

i lol'd

[AkerGraham]

He said dumbass

[nakobass28]

Even in english, this is one cool fight scene. Can't wait to see what Graham does in the movie.

[pibi001]

whose ashura?

[supracc34]

It means Japanese for God Of War.

[ACEGrahamAker]

Also Graham sounds like a kid with Eng dub tho...

[ACEGrahamAker]

man i recommand u DO NOT watch gundam 00 with eng dub..

it sounds SO FAKIN STUPID!!~~!!

"umm an incomming machine~~its a fast 1....-.-"

the meaning is completly changed and ruins the mood

[thepunkster90]

agreed, the english version is horrible, they ruined setsuna's voice for me

[ACEGrahamAker]

not ONLY voice! they changed the words. Its just so wrong~!!

[KyuubiZanpakuto]

well is better than most ocean dubs other than death note

[ACEGrahamAker]

doesnt matter they all sux bad

[darksword101]

some of us don't want for our eyesight to worse reading subtitles all the time.

[Necromas]

Of course, later on, he actually does get a trans-graham system.

[portablemp5]

Graham Acre, The man that pukes blood.

[cataphracts123]

It's common when you pull too many gravitational forces that it does internal damage to your body if your suit isn't pressurized perfectly and thusly you can cough up blood.

[portablemp5]

Yeah but the only one I know who puked blood before Graham is Zechs but unlike Graham, he got used to the Gs.

[twotonesamurai]

char and zechs live on in graham acre !!!!!

I STRIKE LIKE A AVENGING ANGEL!!!!!

[cataphracts123]

I strike like an avenging ANGEL!

[atr360]

prolly one of my favorite lines in any anime :3

[GSE1916]

This is one of the badass episodes in da season1! especially at 1:00-1:01! graham's one hell of a fighter!

[GSE1916]

what does "G's" mean. even though Im a gundam fan.(when graham said at the end) I already finished the whole series in the sub version but not in the dub.

[bsnxenogear]

G's refers to g-force, basically the its the force of gravity exerted on a body in motion. For people this poses a bigger threat because of the liquid inside them. This is strange because Graham's Masurao later on gets trans-am, but he does not suffer from g-force.

[NewtypeMP3228]

He does. That's why he has blood dripping from his mouth. Graham just ignores the damage.  He's actually risking death while he pilots at Trans-Am speed.

[RainbowPWNAGE]

Tactics for beating a Main Character

Rule 1 - ALWAYS State the fact that you "DONT CARE IF YOUR MORE ADVANCED/YOUR A NEWER MODEL/BETTER TECHNOLOGY" and the like, in fact dont care at all! wrap yourself in toilet paper name yourself "Freedom" or something and go out to "Bring Peace" to the world

Rule 2 - Disobey Order's to a fault, if they say left you do a L-Turn right if they say up then you go down (but please use logic Mr.Mole) and if they dont say anything....Then BREAK FORMATION :D

[MetagameHawaii]

Breaking formation didn't work out to well for Howard Mason.

[Zakuboxcarrier]

Daryle Dodge! NIGGERS in SPACE!~~~~~~~~~

but in all seriousness, when i saw this the 1st time i like jizzed my pants, graham is the best

[lclone]

Niggers in space, lol

[destronnl]

No match for Tripple White Man Gundam

[CloudsoI]

I hope my body can take it.

[KasseyDee]

Why would an american pilot talk about ASHURA? It was stupid in the original and is much better this way.

[Graywolf233]

You have a point, but later on there is some heavy suggestion that he has a lot of interest in japanese culture.

>_> Mister Bushido...

[Aruthy]

Yosh, fellow fan i am aware of Mistah Bushido and his epicness :P

[GrahamAkerFTW]

... This is heresy....

[Graywolf233]

<3

This is.

[Axellmds]

His body cant take it....

[speedstriker]

So he's not over 9000?? Damn you Graham! You said you were over 9000!!!!

[sagail]

LOL!!

Graham.. SPECIAL..!!!! ROFL!!

graham-fuckaGundam-Acre > all

cya... XD

[narutoamos5]

too bad im an unreasonable man? hes half the man now ever since he got back from the hospital so that he doesnt have any kids.......heh random

[Atralis]

I hate his English voice. Too whiney, not awesome enough. And I'm not that guy. I usually have no problem with dubs. Maybe its just because I'm not used to this voice.

[Matanumi]

TIME TO DIE GUNDAMS!

sometimes he hits it, but for the most part, this just because that raw left an impossible unmatchable preformence.

Doubson is good though- he could've done better.

[VileMKII]

His Voice I can see for Graham Aker, but as I think of it on Mister Bushido, Im not likeing it. It needs to be stern and heavy. This sounds much to like a collage student to where Graham is in his late 20's

[Daisagru]

Hopefully the voice actor will get the clue that Graham should be more stern now that he's Mister Bushido. Same with Brad Swaile and Setsuna.

This scene was good, but when I watched the dub, and hear AVENGING ANGEL, I was like 'FUCK.'

My mom woke up when I yelled that, too. Since I saw it at it's 11:00 pm premeire.

[MetroBlades]

lol when people are about to lose in Gundam 00 they run away.

[ShadowDaPk]

lol so it's better to get killed? ok there.

[MetroBlades]

lol i know,it's just funny but yeah XD

[GuntherVonVon]

Cheesey as it sounds, I can understand why they took out the Ashura line, for an English audience it doesn't mean a lot.... Still prefer the original though.

[linkxsc]

me too, but either way this is a pretty badass scene.

FLAG PWN FTW

[sagail]

graham -fuckagundam- Acre = the only one who can own a Gundam ussing just a cannon-fodder of mobile suit.

nice vid, cya...

[ApsalusSigma]

That was NEAT, and Again, him coughing up blood after battling like that reminds me of the Tallgeese from Gundam Wing. Which is also very neat!

[Darkwintre]

Anyone know when this is being released over in the UK or even the US since they've now around episode 18 of the 2nd season in Japan?!

[Tails137]

Graham Aker: Capable of making slightly recycled lines even cooler.

[KogashiwaKai]

Avenging Angel > Ashura

also love the line "Sounds reasonable. TOO BAD I'M AN UNREASONABLE MAN!!!"

[42316798]

i love graham

i freakin love graham!

he's the best charater in this show

[christop17]

:57, Graham: "YOINK!!"

[ferbeltran]

No ashura, but still a good line. The dub is awesome

[sh4d0wk4t05]

I STRIKE LIKE AN AVENGING ANGEL!

What the...? (Fuck.)

LOLOL

[Marluxia]

Man I love that "I STRIKE LIKE AN AVENGING ANGEL"

[TheChimp86]

goddamn i hate team trinity, graham is so bad ass, probably my favorite character

[GN777SiaAiriMomoko]

Thats for you Howard....

[SansNom01]

That's because "Asura" is an asian word.

He could have said, TODAY, I'LL BE THE DEVIL THAT WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!!

Oh wait, that also sounds bad :p

[Blairzerker]

How about this: "Celestial Being... If you fancy yourselves angels... THEN I SHALL BECOME THE DEVIL TO DEFEAT YOU!"

[Xephon0930]

That actually sounds pretty hardcore.

[Aruthy]

so sick wen he grabbed the beam saber and 1:00 he looks so samurai :)

[LelouchVsGundam]

When he says ''So it is one of the new ones'' and ''I don't care how much better your machine is'', he doesn't sound as mad as he should. otherwise, great dubbing XD

[CabooseGeekFreek]

Dubbed sounds so gay.

[destronnl]

Care to explain why?

I don't think this dub is bad or gay, I can clearly hear the voice actors being able to act. I also wonder how you would know if the Japanese version sounds better. Heck, the Japanese version may sound good to you, but that doesn't have to be the case for the Japanese people who can speak fluent Japanese unlike you. The Japanese might even think some of the Japanese dub voice actors are unable to portray emotions through voice acting.

[Guillath]

yeah but giving graham the same voice actor as duo in GW was a bad choice i believe. He sounds more like a teenager instead of a grown-up man. And he does sound better in the japanese scene according to me you know i can feel his anger there but in this one? NO!

[CabooseGeekFreek]

Ummm GEEK MUCH?8-D

[destronnl]

How about not using outdated and nonsensical sentences? You sound like a frickin geek by using "geek much".

[CabooseGeekFreek]

Geek FTW

[EphidelDarkheart]

Or the title of almost every episode of Totally Spies.

[WOWImpulse]

I agree...I do prefer the raw version with subs...They do a great job

[destronnl]

I also have Gundam SEED on DVD (No Destiny, but some of you would understand why I guess. Haha!) and that dub seemed to be ok too, but I'm too lazy to watch that again with the English audio option on. I watched it in Japanese with Dutch subtitles.

[ronnor001]

Oh and just because I saw the Destiny Dub, and it was really impressive, trust me even if you hate Destiny you will be impressed with the dubbed version. Voice actors did a great job on the series!

[destronnl]

You guys do have a point there that no one would get the whole Ashura thing. I still think that surpassing Ashura sounds a lot more epic than becoming an avenging angel. :-P

A Gundam dub has most of the time a good dub, including this one. Gundam Wing had an awesome dub. Liked it more than the few episodes I've watched in Japanese. The only Gundam dub I still really want to watch is Zeta. I have the DVD's and I've only watched it subbed. I'm too lazy to watch it again dubbed. :-P

[ronnor001]

Oh no doubt it would sound more epic in fact in the undubbed version, this is one of my favorite scenes. Graham being a bad-ass.

Oh and the Zeta Gundam dubbes are horrible, there are a few eps that are ok, but really it is kind of dissapointing since Zeta was one of the best Gundam series.

[ronnor001]

Well, honestly who would get it when he said Ashura. If they didn't have a note, no one would. As for the dub, well I think it is ok, compared to some other dubs.

[StrayCloud]

sorry if i offend anyone but the dubbing for this is inadequate, just like with alot of other anime dubbings i think lol. I tink ADV films does a pretty good job though, esp with DNAngel :D

[sora12344]

da only reason he didnt say ashura is cuz they thought most people wuldnt like sumthing they didnt no so they changed it n i think da dub is ok

[Zealot4JC]

I'm confident that the voice actor for dubbed Graham is going to deepen his voice for season 2 when Graham is Mr. Bushido. Then he'll seem more of a villian.
