Just to clarify: Heero didn’t kill Septum, he just blew stuff up because that’s what he does.

[@robertdrexel2043]

I also loved Trieze's reaction to Septum using the Colony's Rain Generation Equipment to put out the fires from the explosions. Trieze pretty much called Septem an Idiot which Lisa agreed with him.

[@nanaminsleepy906]

Whats what he does 🤧😂😂

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

Heero's nickname should've been Demolition Man.

[@shin-oni4223]

So because Odin’s screw-up and Trieze’s intervention, we get the pleasure of hearing the five-star quality voice acting from the famous General Septum in the Gundam Wing anime. Lovely.

[@asuna07neros]

Heero was my all time favorite Gundam pilot and just a Gundam character in general. He's straightforward and focused on his missions. Ever since Wing, he has been to me the coolest pilots out there with Setsuna and Mikazuki in close 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

[@nanaminsleepy906]

And hes not a newtype and would be able to fight newtypes and coordinators no problem

[@Kayoss13212]

Agreed. IMO, as a kid, I think Heero was my first nontraditional antihero. Dude just didn’t give an ef about anything or anyone. Just the mission. That’s why Heero and GundamWing has always held a special place in my heart. Especially as a 90s kid. Lol.

[@messiah1915]

I think despite how Gundam Wing had corny or bad executions *technically* , it was definitely fun to have a younger Gundam pilot not be an emotional character guideline that screams alot and happens to be some Newtype or Innovator. Heero may not be the best, But he's one of the most *sensible* pilots as the conditions actually made sense for how he would pilot a Gundam. Like I said, he's not fueled by exaggerated emotions and actually acts as a pilot, not a Superhero.

[@theweedeater1842]

@@nanaminsleepy906 tbf hes got some weird superhuman shit so eh

[@medranodiego8641]

The Leo's design and weapons haven't changed in 20 years... no wonder why they were outdated by the time the 5 Gundams arrived to Earth. I know that in the anime, when the Tallgeese is introduce they say that is more advance that even the last updated Leos but, what exactly did they updated? The energy consumption? The armor? Mobillity, perhaps?

[@robertdrexel2043]

The Tallgeese is actually the prototype to that of basic Leo therefore superior over that of the Leo like any mobile suit prototype in the Gundam Franchise. The Leo is basically a tuned down verison of the Tallgeese. Also why it was on par with the Gundams is that it was also designed and built by the Gundam Scientists. I do not remember which came first the Wing Zero Gundam or the Tallgeese but both were designed by the Scientists.

[@robertdrexel2043]

@manny022 Ah. Thanks. I wasn't sure about which one came first. And I had forgotten that the Wing Zero was only data at that time. Each scientist took a copy of that data to allow them to produce their own Gundam.

[@medranodiego8641]

@@robertdrexel2043 i know that the Leo is a Watered down version of the Tallgeese. It was too costly and too dangerous for the pilots to use.

[@mobiusZero2]

The outside design might be outdated, I think the parts, armor materials and OS systems is updated. M16 BLACK rilfe basic frame still uses and upgrade over the time, change the name as well. Same goes to the AK-47

[@SoulstrikerV]

Disembodied voice: Do you desire power? Most MC: YES! Random Old Man: Wanna be the pilot of this Gundam thing that I totally don't plan to explain right now before you answer? Heero: Sure.

[@ninjavanish2361]

Lloyd: "Would you like a giant fighting robot for no inexplicable reason?" Suzaku: "Hell yeah!"

[@leorojas6390]

Heero was basically an orphan of war back then, now taken in by doctor j and was later trained to be a gundam pilot and a professional assassin. Even though, he screws it up sometimes.

[@robertdrexel2043]

He was also taken in by Odin as well which is mentioned that beginning of the story. The reasoning of which was that taking in the boy would help Odin have an easier time sneaking around as the two of them look like a father and their son. It was only later during the Frozen Teardrop background data that is revealed that Odin is actually Heero's natural father. At this time though Heero was just a no-name orphan Odin took in to help him blend in better while on jobs.

[@RK-ke5yp]

Him screwing up missions shows he isn't perfect. Shows some relatability.

[@whiteraven1992]

And to be fair, Heero was also in on Dr. J's plan to deliberately screw up "Operation Meteor", which was originally intended by the space-colony rebellion forces [and Dekim Barton] to lay waste to all of Earth before conquering it. Thus, the Gundam pilots fought the *_really_* difficult fight, of ultimately opposing both sides of the war.

[@HeirOfSparda]

I wish we got this animated instead of the clip show episode. It really expands Heero's character.

[@SaHOG]

That's one issue I have with Wing, 50 episodes and no backstory and not a lot of character development.

[@traxcltr8721]

In Japanese the dialog is much better.

[@SiniBANG]

Imitating Heero's rolling down from that freefall episode saved my life when I came rolling downhill from a bike ride mishap.

[@vonleeds13]

Heero is still my best gundam pilot. He's just so direct, no shit talk, no drama whatsoever. I was just watching gundam 00 and setsuna is just full on drama. Kira yamato again from the start is all drama and the others is not as cold as him. Of course I cant speak to those gundam series i havent watch yet.

[@keirgomcginlay2044]

The delivary of that 'and he gave his son a bazooka' was just beautiful.

[@nanaminsleepy906]

I love how its insane that Heero can use the Zero System because he doesn't care if he dies

[@bitterblossom19]

Heero vs Kira Yamato would be an infinite loop of plot armor gundam and indestructible pilots.

[@SleepTastesGood]

I'm just glad someone else can see how ridiculous Heero's plot armor is. Yeah, Kira's is insane, even for MC status, but people rarely talk about Heero's. Rose-tinted glasses can be crazy, lol.

[@DIEGhostfish]

@@SleepTastesGood Heero's plot armor is mostly plot childproofing, keeping him from killing HIMSELF.

[@SleepTastesGood]

@@DIEGhostfish Oh I can see that. Still plot armor, though.

[@TheNapster153]

@@SleepTastesGood There's also reasonable discussions here and there that most of his attempts were sabotaged from the beginning. Example, his space suit and the Gundam Wing's self-destruction may have seen tampering. His physique was also subjected to serious augmentation for mission guarantee.

[@SleepTastesGood]

@@TheNapster153 That could be said for a lot of MCs- just depends on how much wiggle room you can get away with. Heero (and Kira) happen to have those superhuman bodies that lend themselves heavily to the wonders of plot armor. I'm not even gonna bring their Gundams into the equation lol

[@rexlumontad5644]

Heero needed to get a therapist so he can talk about his issues and need help. Mr. Perfect Cell: "Oh please, there isn't a shrink qualified enough to deal with that hot mess!" Alucard: "But I am!"

[@Phoenix_Destiny_Kai]

....and meanwhile Heinkel is STILL pissed off at Seras.

[@sXeAndriex]

This really highlights the goods and hilariously stupid goods of Wing. A very complex political plot dealing with the complexity of this universes military industrial complex.... and giving a child a baazoka. Heero is so fucking absurd, you have to like him.

[@dragonknight1560]

No wonder Trieze wears such formal uniform, the man let his Leos TANK A ROCKET MISSILE and came out alright. Holy crap. Also "sad" about Heero. Is that a thing? But it all makes sense for a prequel. I like it!

[@andrewowens4421]

I can't help but think back to when Treize tried to take that huge energy cannon, and kamikazed on Wufei's blade. It seems the only way to hurt/kill Treize is if he puts _himself_ in the line of fire.

[@dragonknight1560]

[@30vominhnhat70]

Man, i sad because we don't have Zechs backstory

[@83shadow3]

To be fair it kinda fits in with what we see in the anime. Heero never really wants to stand out in the crowd. He just does his own thing an leaves others to do their own things.

[@traxcltr8721]

If there was ever a sequel to Endless Waltz or Frozen Teardrop got an anime series, i think it would be a great plot thread to explore more of Heeros father and the organization he was a part of.

[@traxcltr8721]

Gundam Wing, when viewed in entirety is one of the best political anime ever. While yes it’s a great mecha series and a fine Gundam show, I think it’s easily In the top 5 for its political themes.

[@infernoconan1]

I liked it better than Legend of the galactic Heroes. Honestly just Trieza alone owns the entire Logh verse..

[@lordgzstg6181]

Why did his dad give him the bazooka and not the sniper rifle? He should've kept the bazooka and got a multi kill with it.

[@GundamExplained]

Nice! I have yet to jump into Wing, so this is good.

[@VRHyoumaru]

Huh, I remember Treize impregnated Leia Barton resulting in Mariemaia, but marrying her? That's new. Also if I remember correctly the original version of this story had Heero as Odin's adopted son, but Frozen Teardrop retconned it to them being biologically related, or something to that effect.

Im hella late but deff been waiting for this

[@heavyarms55]

I think the problem is that these stories have too many major characters meeting before they met in the show. It gives the feeling that the entire human race was like 5000 people. We're talking about construction and development on a planetary scale with a massive population. It's absurd that so many of these people should already have encountered each other. And what, NONE of them ever realized it? With all these people having fought alongside or against one another already, one would think that someone would have noticed later on. They could have kept most of these stories largely the same too. It's okay for there to be other characters that didn't appear in the anime. Just my two cents anyway. I'll always have a nostalgic soft spot for Gundam Wing, but I know it's honestly just... okay. It's not great, it's just okay.

[@robertdrexel2043]

Shrug. We already knew that Noin was part of the Specials for a while, and Trieze being there is like Kakarot mentioned it was the newest colony therefore it is not all that surprised he was there to help protect it. As for Barton and his daughter we already knew he was a big figure in the Colonial Independence Movement and also owned the Barton Foundation which help fund this new colony. Speaking of which, Kakarot did not mention it in the video but this new colony is the same one that the Mariamaia Army used as its headquarters several years later.

[@macbeatmaker583]

I'm going to tell you a curiosity about MS-Leo that only appears in gundam g-next with the expansion. "for those who don't know it's a classic game but very well produced and realistic in the gundam sd universe" the high cost of tallgeese and the danger of high mobility: just a single tallgeese is worth the same as 60 Leo's or more and if you buy that huge amount against a tallgese even if you are a great pilot at level ace tallgeese will die. basically the Leo's are great compared to other mass production starter units from other series. they are good and quick to produce they can be used in any environment and territory and they are very cheap the same price a Leo's army is better than a single tallgeese. and compared to the gundams in price the talgeese is a little cheaper but the wing has a greater range without needing to refuel. and the buster cannon if used causes damage to the mobile suite. the wing zero is a third more expensive but it is more resistant it lasts longer and in cost it is more expensive than a large battleship

[@stanza77]

I had that manga!

[@TomboyGirl-n8r]

Heero was a war victim who as a result has trauma, depression, and ptsd so give him a break ! Also he was not antisocial or edgelord he was lonely af did you see him at school have any friendships or even capable of forming any beside with the other pilots ! And also loneliness gives you ptsd like being a war victim and the dude have both and thats may affect how he percieve others especially in stressful situations and thats why he though relena maybe will sell him out for the people he is fighting against because he was stressed she find him out and he originally has ptsd psychological factors that clouded his judgment which may explains why he wanted to kill her
