The History of Duo [Gundam Wing Lore]

[@vustvaleo8068]

you don't need an edgy character to pilot an edgy-looking Gundam.

[@fishpop]

Though having a matching pilot and MS feels more appropriate. It's why i think Duo & "Trowa" should've switched. Stoic guy in the edgy suit and a cocky, gung-ho American-ish guy in the suit with loads of guns.

[@KyriosMirage]

@@fishpop Perhaps, but Deathscythe fits way better with Duo's 'God of Death'.

[@tristain0]

@@KyriosMirage True, that is more edgy.

[@justnoob8141]

@@fishpop but Jester is pretty matching for Heavyarm though, you see what it has but also can be surprise by what it hidden, even if it’s just the same trick but bigger, clowns are full of trick that won’t let you down

[@IronWarhorsesFun]

You think Duo and the God of Death Suzan Ivonova are related?👀

[@Arrowdodger]

He might run and hide, but he'll never tell a lie. That's Duo in a nutshell.

[@StarforceOnAir]

And everybody questions why we say Duo Maxwell is best Wing Boy.

[@MrDarksol]

Ikr!?

[@notarmchairhistorian7779]

He do be my favorite wiseguy Gundam pilot.

[@titanjakob1056]

I’d vote treize but duo comes close second lol

[@HeirOfSparda]

Episode Zero was a fantastic manga, if only it could be animated one day...

[@fishpop]

Maybe for a Wing anniversary? Pretty sure its 25th is approaching so why not do an ova/miniseries?

[@MelodiesKit]

@@fishpop the 25th anniversary of gundam wing was last year.

[@fishpop]

@@MelodiesKit Bugger...

[@MelodiesKit]

@@fishpop yeah the creator of the original opening created an album with other ops they did for the 25th anniversary of wing and did a live streamed music event for it on November 28th.

[@zakhaevshub4735]

Yeah I agree with you, Episode Zero and Crossbone Gundam should be getting anime adaptation

[@ultramangeed624]

Then in Frozen Teardrop He becomes a preist himself

[@KionKamon]

Every single one of the protagonists from Gundam Wing had been hit with some tragedy of war. After rewatching Gundam Wing, I actually found that the anti war statement Gundam is known for is still present in Wing, just in a different take. Instead of showing largely innocent civilians being caught in the battle as collateral damage, we see that no one is safe from the horrors of war, not even the five protagonists.

[@Crim-kun]

fun fact duo's english dub VA is Scott McNeil who also voices ali al saachez in 00 wolverine in xmen evolution and also dinobot and rattrap in beast wars, also ken and blanka in the american street fighter cartoon

[@tylerstocker6189]

He also voiced Piccolo in the ocean dbz dub.

[@tableofinsanity2735]

He was also Waspinator and Silverbolt in Beast Wars along with Jetfire and Omega Supreme in Transformers Energon

[@Shin_Lona]

English dub... 🤭 何だよ!

[@AntonioCunningham]

I only recognised his roll as Koga from Inuyaha.

[@TheHiddenBoss]

He’s also Protoman from the american Megaman cartoon and Jimmy Lee in the Double Dragon cartoon. I think he’s also Savageman and Shademan in Megaman NT Warrior Axcess.

[@christopherwilliams7845]

Day 16 of trying to figure out Kakarot's Gundam Waifu. After extensive investigation and character study, I have narrowed it down to someone belonging to the Universal Century. Main suspect is Fraw Bow.

[@anchanz]

its Meyrin hawke

[@HarpuiaBR]

No way, his Gundam Waifu is definitely Char

[@saruki0132]

it's laura

[@Arrowdodger]

Fraw would be an excellent choice.

[@Tuning3434]

I definitely consider Fraw Bow a very acceptable choice, but there also Pirate Mirai....

[@seraph_dalgon_9216]

It's finally happening, I can't believe it! Gundam Wing lore!!! Let's Go!!!!

[@yuncelluz8709]

One the best in the series

[@cipherthedemonlord8057]

What got a lot of us started.

[@ms-07b3goufcustom9]

Kinda sad , but I guess that's why he's my favourite pilot

[@BeyondDreamzs]

Duo and his Trucker Hat makes him a better master of disguise than Jason Bourne, even with him being a wanted man in wing he is so good that despite having monk clothes he blends in with the crowd.

[@mightsaber]

Jesus Christ, that's Duo Maxwell.

[@chaseharlan01]

Why didn't we see this s*** in the anime, it's pretty damn compelling and would have made the characters more relatable and it would give us a better attachment to them.

[@santiagogarcia1606]

If I’m right, this was meant to be in the anime at first but due to time constraints, it was removed

[@rogue_newtype4364]

Great stuff!! Duo is my favorite character from wing, also wing being the only other gundam series I like besides our beloved UC. Thanks for this Kakarot.

[@TalonAvex]

Duo and Trowa will always be my favorite pilots.

[@justchyll2009]

Duo was almost anime character of the year when Gundam Wing came out, he lost to Rei Ayanami, which I feel was an upset but hey

[@galvanimontenegro2442]

I like both Duo Maxwell and Rei Ayanami. Nice information by the way.

[@NeoSlashott]

It feels sad i can hear Duo screaming when everyone in the church died.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

Anyone else notice how the HGAC Wing kits (Gundams) feel like Infinity Stones in the sense of the process of collecting them As well as there being 5 main gundams + the Wing Zero, so that makes 6

[@fishpop]

I've noticed that Bandai seem to be releasing one Wing lad each year. From 2019-2021 we've had Sandrock, Heavyarms and Deathscythe sometime this spring so maybe we'll see Shenlong in 2022 and maybe a Tallgeese finally in 2023.

[@Arrowdodger]

@@fishpop Hopefully with a Taurus in there somewhere, given we got Leo and Maganac, plus Mercurius and Vayeate.

[@KyoRedBladeZR1]

I would love the Hell version and Altron. I have the HG Zero.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

@@KyoRedBladeZR1 I assume that D. Hell and Altron will be after Shenlong and a few others Ares Taurus Mobile Doll maybe a Tallgeese Heavyarms kai

[@Zach_Walker]

I can't wait until they all get a release. Along with the movie versions, not the EW redesigns like we get for standard release MGs but the actual ones that were on screen like the recolored Heavyarms and the Sandrock with a cloak. So far I only have the Wing because the Sandrock and Heavyarms are always out of stock. Same for the Leos and Manganac(I butchered the spelling didn't I?). My After Colony shelf is a little empty sadly. Meanwhile Anno Domini(00), Post Disaster(IBO), Cosmic Era, and whatever AGE's timeline is called get expanded to additional shelves and Universal Century gets expanded from 2 shelves to it's own cabinet and probably more shelves if my backlog is anything to go by. One of my local stores talked to their suppliers about why a lot of orders keep getting cut since a lot of the kits that aren't brand new on the market aren't showing up while people want them, originally they assumed Bandai was having trouble keeping up with demand before remembering they finally opened second factory(Yokohama) after 40 years. There isn't a shortage due to not being able to keep up with demand, the problem is that everyone in Japan has first dibs. Apparently roughly 90% of it isn't making it out of Japan because everyone, even people who don't normally build Gunpla, are buying and building Gunpla like their lives depend on it and the rest of the world gets the leftovers. Thats what we were told at least, pretty sure the number isn't 90% but we are still pretty much getting whats left after Japan picks it dry. Sometimes I hate how Japan loves plamo so much.

[@fishpop]

I already have both Wings for other reasons but i'm waiting for an HGUC/HGAC Shenlong to come out so i can get the whole gang all at once. They kinda have some Shenlong parts already thanks to the Jiyan Altron. Bandai seem to be doing one of the Wing lads each year; 2019-Sandrock, 2020-Heavyarms & 2021-Deathscythe so 2022 may see the Shenlong.

[@rooooollll]

Ill go with all hg on wing kits. But for wing i will go for rg.

[@Gadlight]

I would like an extended MS development video on how the talgeese bacame the base for the gundams, and how that relates to the side manga gundams

[@TheBabayga]

I need the scene where he tries to demolish the original Deathscythe but the Dr. took the firing mechanisms out and they come up with an alternate plan. Totally shows the dedication of the character.

[@Mythicalmage]

Name a more iconic Duo.

[@megabolt5898]

Ahhhh, me & my little brother's favorite Gundam pilot(second favorite for me since, I'm more of a main character favour and, I honestly just liked Heero's character personally) JUST because he called himself "The God Of Death" because his Gundam DeathScythe looks like The Grim Reaper~ Except now I gather, DeathScythe lookin` like The Grim Reaper was probably just an added bonus and, Duo has his own alternate reasons for calling himself "The God Of Death".

[@zcorbin4026]

More Wing content. I think a development history for the Wing universe would be good

[@rooooollll]

Havent played the video yet. But for me, this is you best lore video as of now. Duo is cool af event with the wing boys

[@immaleaf4964]

Great video, loved the show growing up but didn't know what manga's were back then, thanks for filling in Duo's back story

[@danielgeronimo5538]

Duo has always been my favorite among the five in Wing, sure he's no Heero, he is probably louder and carefree than he should be, and he cannot handle the Zero system. But those are the things that makes him better than others.

[@HereticalKitsune]

Duo has become Death, destroyer of worlds.

[@ToonamiT0M]

Gundam Wing is so nostalgic for me. Please do the more Wing lore.

[@gundamturkiye]

Just like entire After Colony cast, Duo's almost entire background provided by side materials. I'm not surprised.

[@Elizabeth-mf3dn]

He was my favorite!! I always loved his braid too 😂

[@SBaby]

Duo is definitely one of my favorite characters in the Gundam franchise. He pilots a mobile suit that's modeled after Death itself, which is already awesome. But then they decided to make him Native American, which is not something you see very often with main characters in anime. And finally, he's voiced by the same guy that voiced Rat Trap and Dinobot from Beast Wars (yes, THAT Dinobot, the best character in Beast Wars).

[@hyperhare0624]

Yep. Duo being one of my first Hubandos is justified

Duo's backstory was the best chapter in Episode Zero. The others all felt way to contrived or melodramatic.
