It's been way too long since the last Gundam Lore.

[@JD_0083]

Agreed! Glad to see it Kakarot!

To add personal Icing on the cake,one of my favorite pilots in Wing

[@SoulstrikerV]

That was his sister in the circus?! My brain just exploded. Was this ever mentioned in the anime? Because I forgot if that's the cass. And is that other girl related to Lady Une? Or is that Lady Une? My brain can't function right now.

Trowa. A nameless person who pilot 'heavy' Gundam, but he make it more acrobatic than the other Gundam

[@leorojas6390]

Trowa was definitely a man of mystery. But after hearing his story, he's been through a lot on his own.

[@neogotham2k395]

RIP Kirby Morrow the awesome voice actor He's great as Trowa (Gundam Wing), Teru Mikami (Death Note), Cyclops (X-Men Evolution), and Goku (DBZ Ocean Dub)

[@gundamdunham7479]

I know Kirby Morrow, he guest starred in two episodes of The Outer Limits (1995-2002 series). He voiced Von on Escaflowne when it ran on FOX Kids b4 it was re-dubbed by Funimation. He's the original English dubbed voice-over 4 Miraku on Inuyasha. It's sad 2 hear that he is no longer alive. 😢

I agree that this would be a good story to see in a longer format. It feels a lot like IBO.

[@vali6717]

The funny thing is IBO is definitely better when it’s focused on the small scale like this.

[@CynthiaJFinnegan]

Fun fact: the stories in the Episode Zero manga were supposed to be episodes of the series, but either Sunrise or Tokyo TV had them cut.

[@owj182]

I think they put some in the begining song. The snow, the teddy bear, the ruins.

[@KRS2000]

I think I read that episodes 27 and 28 were supposed to be the backstory episodes, but because one of the lead writers (I think) wound up quitting halfway through the series, so they just made both episodes as recaps of the first half of the series instead. The only new footage from both episodes was the crashed shuttle from the Lunar Base and Treize building Epyon.

[@TekkenShazam]

Nah. that pacing for Middie and Trowa checks out for Gundam Wing. :P

Bro... he's just like Guts. The exact fvcking same... just... pain.

[@WildArmACF]

That is a good story. I always liked Trowa.... Save for his ammo dumping.. If he used his gums smarter he would have been able to take out many more mobile suits without running out of bullets.. It would be really interesting to see him in a mobile suit designed after his natural talents and abilities rather then "FIRE EVERYTHING" the gundam... Lol.. That said... if he ended up in a beam spam suit ( Freedom) he would be truly terrifying.

[@ToastyCoyote]

Wait so Catherine was his Actual sister this whole time?! Hmm I wonder if that was always the case or if it was decided after the fact

[@HELLBENTSOUL]

It was always the case, from my understanding. Episode Zero manga was supposed to be actual episodes in the series, but because of drama happening behind the scenes, Sunrise just made episodes 27 and 28 into recap episodes to keep the series going. When Trowa got amnesia, and after Catherine found him, they were referring to each other as brother and sister.

[@keysontrains538]

well damn. i kinda liked the whole adoptive sister/family dynamic. makes it more impactful when Trowa reciprocates and finds his place, adds intrigue as we don’t know how well Cathrine knows/takes care of Trowa when he gets Kamille’d [lite] like does she actually care? or is she manipulating him? like it seems like the right thing but also she’s actively in the way of goals in the story (in a good way). And when he does get his memory back (enough) it shows how much he does actually care and there’s more impact. but ah well i guess.

[@HipHopOtaku]

And the way in which they were supposed to find out was *wild*. It's explained in a blurb at the end of Episode Zero that Trowa has a large burn scar on his back that he didn't get in battle. (I've heard variously that it was either from the explosion that killed their parents and separated them, or that before that happened Baby Triton wandered too close to an open flame.) Anywho, Catherine was supposed to see it, and that was going to be the tip-off that he was indeed her little brother.

[@donovanbradford8231]

You are right this is the best out of all of the origins of the Gundam Wing pilots. It doesn't break cannon as opposed to the other three you've covered. Two things come up in this the first the captain's reaction to Trowa's abilities strikes me that maybe our Gundam Pilots, Zechs, and Treize were New Types given how talented they were. The other thing that struck me was Mindy Une could she really be Lady Une, given the fact she is older than Trowa but in the series which takes place years later Lady Une is also colonel Une. I think it fits Mindy had a heart and could love but the first person see saw was not only stronger than any man she had known but also broke her heart, hence why she only had eyes for Treize given he was the strongest man she has met after Trowa had broken her heart.

[@HipHopOtaku]

IIRC, *all* of the G-boys were originally *meant* to be Newtypes, but only Quatre actually ended up being one. (But never actually called such.)

[@DrForrester87]

"Corinel" isn't a name. Lady Une's rank in Oz was Colonel.

[@christianaguirre163]

Kakarot for question of the week: what are your top 5 mobile armors that you would love to have in HG, RG or even MG for new releases??

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

HG- Neue Ziel, Val Waro, Bigro, Grublo, Agrissa MG- GN Arms, Hashmal

[@ThomasFilbert]

When I was younger watching Gundam Wing, Trowa and the Heavy Arms were my favorite. This video has me feeling nostalgic. Also the background music for the transitions matching the anime "meanwhile..."👌

[@rob1223l]

This is my all time favorite Pilot and Gundam!!!!

[@yanjirujan193]

It's 4 AM, i should've sleep. But i guess i can watch 1 more video before sleep

[@WarfighterKilo]

Him being a mystery is why he is my favorite anime character of all time.

[@MrAsaqe]

Some call Miliardo the Char Clone but I say Trowa was the true char clone. His mobile suit despite being a ballistic type Ms used deft agility and surprise attacks to overwhelm his foes

[@mahiru20ten]

He also took someone's name too... Casval took a name from a lookalike whereas No-Name took the name from someone he saw died.

[@amead78]

I’m not sure how I feel about Trowa’s past revealed in Endless Waltz. You’d think that someone would have recognized his name during the series, especially when he signed up with Oz.

[@Spartahhh]

Excellent summary thanks for making this video the show was so fast paced for my brain as a kid that and toonami played episodes out of order all I cared about was seeing giant bots fighting and was like cool It wasn’t until watching encounters in space that I started understand what all the fighting was about I do know that the universes are separate they did a really good job I’m a huge fan of the 0079 - 0083 era

[@heavyarms55]

I bet you'll never guess what my favorite childhood Gundam was. Or who it's pilot was. Never in a million years. :P

I'm curious about their relationship before the anime

[@typesaad]

Only one is left the one that everyone love the one that fell from a building and got barely hurt and survived a direct mobile suit explosion and fall headfirst from a mobile suite and lived after it the one the only Heero Yuy

[@mattb154]

But not _that_ Heero Yuy.

[@twelfthknight]

While I liked - the idea at least - of the latter half of the story about Trowa and the mercenaries, the manga connecting Trowa personally to the Catherine character and the whole circus he'd eventually infiltrate felt... overly prequel-y? The kind of prequel-type story telling that tries to interconnect too much and/or explains aspects of a character which don't really need exposition. Trowa joined that circus in Wing because it was convenient to his goals as a Gundam pilot not because he was genetically circus-folk or something, while Catherine was just someone who empathized and cared for him as an actual human being and in turn she was someone who Trowa found he cared for as if she were family and... not his actual sister.

[@danielramsey6141]

This I agree with. Trowa and Catherine never needed this. The Story still could’ve been told without her and still be perfectly fine. But now this context makes his connection to her feel so much more Incesty.

[@VacadoRay]

[@jailcatjones3250]

Trowa is that quite kid in class

[@01taran]

I wouldn't rush to Heero's Episode. I find it the least interesting. Quatre's is okay, but I think Duo's is the best of the remaining ones.

[@AnitreaSadi]

[@robertdrexel2043]

Hmmmm... Did we ever get word from the Powers The Be that Trowa is actually Catherine's little brother or if Middie Une actually ends up as Lady Une?

[@HELLBENTSOUL]

Frozen Teardrop confirms that Trowa and Catherine are indeed siblings, and Gundam Wiki states that Middie Une has no relation to Lady Une. Around the same time of Trowa's chapter, Lady Une was already in OZ, along with Treize, Zechs, and Noin.

[@DIEGhostfish]

@@HELLBENTSOUL No relation or just not the same person?

[@HELLBENTSOUL]

@@DIEGhostfish no relation. Middie and Lady are two separate characters that just happen to have the same last name.

7:59 definitely better than Wufei's sexist "my wife sucks at combat" Nataku-Chan story

[@andrewowens4421]

Which really doesn't make a whole lot of sense since she took down every mobile suit that came at her. And she was horribly outnumbered and still came out on top. She might have died but she went out kicking all kinds of ass. Wufei's mindset confuses me if that's what he thinks "weakness" is.

[@dragonjaj]

Triton his real name is Triton?

[@robertdrexel2043]

I always disliked this story really since it is implied, somewhat, in the series that Trowa like Heero and Duo was trained to be a Gundam pilot from a young age. Therefore, I always assumed that Trowa/No-Name was always supposed to be the Heavyarm pilot but he refused to take part in the original Operation Meteor which saw Trowa Barton saying he will take over the piloting of the Gundam and taking part in the operation. He is then killed by the tech as in Episode Zero, and No-Name Steals Trowa's name before going on a modified version of the Operation as told to him by Doktor S like the others of the Mad Five to their own Gundam Pilots.

[@joshuagundamu]

WAIT! the alliance is using GOWS from zeon to bomb the rebel base?! 5:47

[@joshuagundamu]

I always felt sorry for Trowa....meets the hottest girl in the series only for her to be his likely sister...........utter tragedy.

[@QuintusAntonious]

Okay but the real lore we need is what's up with Dr. S's nose. It's been over 20 years since I first saw Gundam Wing and I'm still perplexed by that one.

[@HELLBENTSOUL]

I've been curious as to how Dokter S lost his nose, too. Frozen Teardrop explains how Doctor J lost his arm, but never any mention on why S has a prosthetic nose.

[@yovitasrimulyani2663]

[@madmacvengeance6131]

So whats relation of the "no name" boy to catherine in young age.... Im still wondering...some kind of childhood,cousin....

[@mahiru20ten]

I wonder what if the original Operation Meteor succeeded...

[@nedinnis6752]

Considering what I've heard, it was basically a repeat of 0079 but if Zeon had Gundams and was a more guerilla terrorist faction and the Federation was more outwardly fascist.

[@Monty2289]

All of the pilots feel like utter butt with Gundams but that goes infinitely so for Trowa. Remember when mans piloted a Taurus and everyone nutted to how skilled he was a firing like a madman - as if that qualifies for great skill. He simply ran out of ammo. The heavyarms makes up for his skill by giving him more dakka

[@boom-CM]

[@GCJACK83]

Huh. Middie Une? Wait, what?!! Uhm... LADY UNE?!

[@francisbarcelon1237]

What's Middie's relationship to Lady Une? I see that they have the same family name..

[@HipHopOtaku]

Well...we don't know. We *do* know that they aren't the same person (the timeline doesn't match up), but it could be that Lady Une is her aunt or cousin.

[@DIEGhostfish]

@@HipHopOtaku Probably not Aunt, Une is 19 at the start (Fucking somehow) so only a few years older than the gundam pilots, and maybe a year or two older than Middie.
