[@bananian]

@@shauqiharris2772 Oh it is lol. Why does the GM suck so much though?

[@LatitudeSky]

The tragedy of the Ideon story is there from the start. The war between humans and Buff Clan starts over a stupid misunderstanding. A nothing. A mistake. And both sides proceed to fight to the end where everyone dies. It is depressingly close to misunderstandings that have almost caused WWIII a few different times.

[@shauqiharris2772]

It's just depressing. That's how sums up the whole series in general.

[@固體蛇]

@@shauqiharris2772 the problem is it’s easy to realize the misunderstanding as bystanders watching in an all knowing angle as audience but in reality it’s easier said then done. Take the war in ukraine for example, us is willing to go to nuclear war with russia to defend ukraine, anyone brave enough to suggest a peace negotiation with russia faces being called a putin sympathizer and possible cancellation. Look at the division in society today, everyone believes they are the absolute embodiment of good and anyone who holds a pov different than yours is nazi, how can any understanding ever be gained?

[@固體蛇]

In order words, knowing the fight to your version of justice will lead to the end of human kind, will you stop fighting? The answer to many is a hard no. I feel that human beings have regressed tremendously in the last 30 years, 20 years ago most people would agree the best approach is not to think the worse of your enemies and to try to negotiate and find common ground, but now we believe we must brand every opponent of ours as nazi and fight them to the end with no negotiation, it won’t end well, and the ending like ideon the invoked happening to us seems inevitable.

[@duskcrawler]

Ideon is one of the craziest god mechs ever made. Unlike Getter Emperor, Ide actively desires peace and prosperity but has no qualms about ending all life to do it. What's of particular interest here is how the Ide is infinite but requires souls I assume to fuel itself or activate it. It seems as though the Sixth Civilization allowed itself to be assimilated into the Ide since the Ide clearly gave Messiah and his people a second chance at life and the Ide was an ascension to a higher existence for them. Ide is certainly a strange entity. What you forgot to mention is that the Ideon Sword is potentially infinite in length and that the Ideon Gun's destruction can theoretically expand without end. Ideon, once invoked, is truly a beast that few can match.

[@180223]

I did not forget. I simply chose not to. I already mentioned earlier in the video that the Ide is infinite in nature. No point repeating the same point another two times with the Ideon Sword and Ideon Gun if you get what I mean.

[@duskcrawler]

That's fair I guess. I mostly pin that on Ideon and how ambiguous it is. The 6th Civilization aren't given much information and backstory despite having created or discovered the Ide. I'm going to guess that's what Tomino wanted, for the viewer to make his or her own conclusions about the IDE and the 6th Civilization and what comes after the war's devastation.

[@williambeck2372]

Who's to say that the 6th Civilzation were the ones that MADE them? I mean... it does have a reset button.

[@IkariLoona]

IIRC at one point its mentioned that the Ide is an amalgamation of the thousands of souls from the 6th civilization - that's basically averaging human consciousness to to more common and primal instincts, like self-defense and the protection of its young, which explains a lot of the scenes where the Ideon acts with some measure of independence - when all those souls agree, it acts. Also, with Evangelion being partially inspired by Ideon, its Human Instrumentality Project could be interpreted as a way to create that unified consciousness from an entire civilization - just imagine Ideon runs on LCL and it makes some sense.

[@duskcrawler]

Loona It goes back farther than Ideon or Evangelion actually. The Ide has a lot in common with Arthur C. Clarke's Overmind from "Childhood's End" but instead of being an alien intelligence that assimilates psychic lifeforms, it is an amalgamated intelligence that act on primal instincts although it ultimately wants peace between the Solo Colonists and the Buff Clan. Of course when that didn't work, the Ide was invoked and either blew everything up on the spot (the TV series ending) or goes on a rampage (Be Invoked ending) to punish Doba and the Buff Clan for their arrogance. Of note, "Childhood's End" was also a huge influence to Xenogears which is kind of obvious with the character of Krelian.

Despite the buff clan being the main antagonist of the series we never learn who they extactly were and why there are 2 planet earths, sure we know they're humans just like us and their highly advanced but that's all the series told us.

[@CosmoShidan]

And it was never explained as to why the Buff Clan wanted the Ide energy, or what they will do with it. Or even what the rivalry between the Buff Emperor and the House of Ajiba was all about. Aside from being militaristic, yes, there is much to be desired. Could use a remake though.

[@2literoverlord482]

CosmoShidan I think the show was supposed to be much longer than 43 episodes. Either that or the original last 4 episodes were supposed to cover what you said.

[@CosmoShidan]

2liter overlord Sorry for being late! Yeah, one of the reasons it was planned to be 43 episodes was due to Tomino's experience with Gundam. By having to cut 9 of the planned 52 episodes and rewrite the remaining six episodes, Tomino expected the sponsors to cut it off at episode 43. Ironically, he was forced to cut it four episodes short. Overall, I agree with your statement that Ideon was supposed to be much longer, but it much was left out due to fears of early cancellation. Interestingly, I was told that Tomino wrote a novel adaptation of Ideon as he did with Gundam. With that, it might be able to explain the Buff Clan's motives for acquiring the Ide energy, their origins, the rivalry between the Emperor and House Ajiba, and even the 6th civilization and the other past civilizations. Hence, the Ideon novel adaptation, while I do not expect it to ever make it to North American shores due to its age, might be an extension of the anime as the Gundam novel adaptation.

[@2literoverlord482]

CosmoShidan I’ve never heard of the novel adaptation either. I know the ending we got in be invoked was also completely different from the original planned ending. I’m not going to complain though because be invoked turned out to be great.

[@CosmoShidan]

2liter overlord I think that the ending to Be Invoked is without equal. Though I would like to see the series remade, if only for some aspects to be elaborated and expanded upon, nothing beats the ending to Be Invoked.

[@francogarcia8077]

do you have the link so i can see it?

[@MrMarket1987]

Hah... I have to wonder what Tomino was having to crank up the Kill 'em All gauge with Victory Gundam. Not only were there a lot of deaths, but many of them were... really awkward or unusual casualities(seriously, were the Mobile Suits of that era made of cardboard or something?). At least the gruesome stuff in the others were less baffling and more just tragic in general. On the matter of the events in Ideon itself, the lack of misunderstanding just kept escalating as it were. There were several times in the show where the people genuinely tried to make peace or at least avoid making things worse, but things just plain got out of hand. The examples that stand out the most to me were when Cosmo and some of the others tried to use a white flag to show they were being unagressive... But it turned out that, for the Buff clan, a white flag was practically a declaration of fighting down to the last man at the time. Karala(the main Buff clan protagonist) told them immediately of their mistake and said they needed a red flag to get what they wanted. But by then, the Buff clan ignored their flag and kept fighting. Another example being when Karala herself tried to convince her sister and fellow Buff to make peace, but was branded a traitor instead(and shamed as her clothes was torn away in front of everyone) despite asking for a very simple thing. There was also the time a couple Buff pilots crashlanded in a field, and as they made their escape from the ship, a child shot at them before a girl(whom Cosmo was getting very friendly with) could prevent an escalated encounter; One pilot died because of the shot from the child, while the girl lost her life when shot by the remaining pilot. There are many other instances where things go wrong, but the general jist is that power corrupts Earthlings and Buff alike. Also, fun fact: Does the series music sound familiar to people who played Dragon Quest games? It should, since most of the music was composed by Koichi Sugiyama. The tracks used for the Ideon in SRW @3 were these in particular, and should be easily recognized by SRW veterans: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np_FpKKin51_ibM The third segment is the one adapted for the game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epDGeHuEpLCGgcU Something something avoid the Bad End I guess? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5XHeKCHhtd4f7M Bad End.

[@cruzgonzalez7061]

Victory Gundam was a result from Bandai buying out Studio Sunrise, with Tomino having disputes. That's the basic gist of it.

[@MrMarket1987]

Ah, that does make it all understandably shaky then. Victory often seemed the odd one out from UC, but at least now I get why.

[@cruzgonzalez7061]

+MrMarket1987 I forgot to mention that Tomino was having depression as well. But yeah, Victory is the "dark horse/sheep" of Gundam.

[@AvengerII]

Ideon got licensed for the US and IS being released NEXT MONTH on Blu ray through Maiden Japan, a label of Sentai Films/Section 23. The other big robot release for next month in the US is Mazinger Z: Infinity. We're FINALLY getting that on home video in the US a year after the theatrical exhibition! I knew they would wait at least 6 months after the Japanese (August 2018) home video release but Viz Video literally only made the official announcement about the US Mazinger Infinity Blu ray within the last week, 10 days!

[@shauqiharris2772]

Tomino literally made a series way more sad and tragic compared to Zambot 3 because everyone died in Ideon

[@IkariLoona]

Nice effort - I feel it was somewhat focused on the mech itself, while I find one of the interesting points in the wider story is the relationship between the Solo colonists and the Buff Clan, who are basically the same species that have more in common than actual reasons to fight, and how the relationships between Karala, Sheryl and Harulu basically drive the story, practically making them the real protagonists, even if Cosmo's the most recurring pilot of the titular mech. Maybe I should put my own views and theories in a video, there should probably be more Ideon content out there...

7:53 self-preservation, eh? It’s no wonder why Ideon was the bad guy in Gundam VS Ideon: Counterattack of Gigantis.

[@Ichijoumi]

Don05 If you think about it, it lets itself be beaten. If the Ide already deemed the universal civilization unfit for peace in the universe and by that point detroyed all the planets with intelligent life through energy meteors, then the final solution was kamikaze since the buff clan leader took the im going down with everyone approach. Ide being infinite and capable of incredible feats would have been able to resist and phase ganda rowa's attack unscathed but again Ide already made judgement and the universe was doomed.

That new universe is the Gundam universe and the ZZ fights Ideon in a manga.

thank you for this great videos and have a great time playing srw moon dwellers

This was suppose to be the 3rd Voltron show in america...i see why it was never released even though the toys saw a limited release

Zambot 3 is underrated. If you can watch it, do it.

honestly how ideon is i have the headcannon the turn x and turn a if counting g gen the phonix gundam is base on

Escaflowne explained

[@emanuelepolloni4002]

There is an official manga were it's revealed that the Universal Century of Mobile Suit Gundam is the aftermath of this series. The most important Gundam continuity is the result of the Ideon annillhating everything and restarting the universe. And the worst thing is that the Ideon reincarnated in the new universe and only thanks to Char and Amuro's skills and a great dose of luck they were able to destroy it without causing another apocalypse

[@frankjaeger2565]

That manga is definitely not "official" (canon), it's just another non-canonical spin off

[@emanuelepolloni4002]

@@frankjaeger2565 Still it had Amuro and Char basically destroying the fucking Ideon without causing the apocalypse.

[@danielgeronimo5538]

@@emanuelepolloni4002 Which is, non-canon by a mile. Char and Amuro are powerful newtypes and pilots but it contrasts a lot of logistics established within Universal Century. As cool as it would have been, bridging can only go as far.

@@danielgeronimo5538 Maybe, but it's a nice crossover and the closest answer to the question "Can a Gundam defeat an Evangelion?"

Soo, Ideon as potential spiral Nemesis?

[@rahadianaryo5979]

Good (Ide)a, though...😏 Is Ideon a potential "Spiral Nemesis" right 🤔? Is your comment above really true ?

[@shadowsaber4566]

Hearing details about this just makes me (only read the summary of it) question why Ideon was included in Apha 3.

[@IkariLoona]

Ideon by itself and the scale of its story make it one of the heavy hitters of mecha settings, so it's fitting that when major SRW arcs (classic and Alpha) end the Ideon is there - it's practically part of its original story that the Ide does not start shit, it ends it. Shame it was absent for the SRW Z conclusion though...

I am a big fan of MW 2 and you have no idea how much I am crying right now when I saw that at 3:07 XD. Who made that?

It's very similar to the Halo super weapons!

EVA was clearly inspired by Ideon.

You like giant, so what your opinion on tiny robot like medabots or custom robo

They're cool. Customizing them to improve their stats is quite appealing.

Its on the list. But don't expect it anytime soon. That will require a lot of research.

[@180223]

No. Its one of the Buff Clan ships.

[@cobeoe]

@@180223 okay but doesn't bear any significance they say everyone died but that ship survived

[@180223]

The ending and all supplementary material as well as interviews pointed to everything in the universe dying from the resulting explosion from Ideon. Even if that ship escaped briefly, it wouldn't have survived in the long run.

[@cobeoe]

@@180223 also in might not be much but I think ideon is a precursor series to the Mobile Suit Gundam series there's one non-canon story but it explains a whole lot gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Gigantis Scroll towards the bottom and explains the history of space Runaway ideon and how the new type thing is created and it also shows a story of how ideon is reborn in the Gundam universe

[@180223]

I have know about that non-canon story for over a decade already.

[@chiyo-chanholocaust8143]

Now explain why Tomino thought it would be a satisfying ideia to fans to gruesomely kill every single character at the end, its worse than Digimon 02 ending

[@evan250592]

Peaceful Death or Eternal War ? Which is more merciful?

[@lolcatjunior]

He saw vision of the future with George R.R. Martin killing off his characters and went like "bitch please, I can do better".

[@CosmoShidan]

Santiago Scarpino You have to admit though, Ideon's ending is quite Shakespearian. So maybe that is where Tomino drew inspiration. Or perhaps he drew inspiration from Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke where most of the main characters die towards the end. I'm will to bet it's the latter, as I always thought of Tomino is a big sci-fi fan, and thus Ideon is his tribute to 2001 A Space Odyssey, also by Clarke, H.G. Well's War of the Worlds, Pierre Boule's Planet of the Apes, Frank Herbert's Dune, Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek and George Lucas' Star Wars.
