LinksAlien image thanks to. Whats the difference? No i know, i just like making the joke she has to have some kind of mental disorder because her actions throughout the entire series up to the last episode just make you go '.wh.what? Why would you do that?' My two favorite are when heero in the heavyarms is fighting Zechs and she shows up in a helicopter to tell him she got his letter or something dumb and the last scene of the series when she finds heeros birthday card and thinks she can yell loud enough through an airplane window for him to hear which, really? And then when Heero using his what I'm guessing is intuition because there's no way he could hear her turns and looks just she rips up the birthday card. Why.He went through all that work killing and stripping a maintenance worker(I'm assuming) to disguise himself and give you a card and you just rip it up?
Dick move Relena. But I've gotten off topic do you know how frozen teardrop ends?. And honestly it seems like most of the characters have some sort of mental disorder given all the dumb decisions/bizarre dialogue they have. Another one of my favorite bits (which I think is from the same ep as the above video) is when Heero, after being asked if he's gonna thank Zechs for repairing his Gundam, says, 'I'll thank him in my own special way. I'll kill Zechs.' So of course Zechs (who is standing right in front of him) replies with 'That would be fine.' You know, like a normal human would.
Thank you for finding that I just started busting up laughing I forgot just how ridiculous that scene is! I also don't even remember the whole exchange about heero flat out saying he's going to kill Zechs! I'm guessing he's talking to Noin does he just pretend like Zechs isn't even there? What an inconsiderate little dick he should know words hurt!
Or possibly Zechs suffers from clinical depression and thinks suicide is the only way out but can't bring himself to end it with his own hand so when heero says that in his head he's like jackpot! Now play it cool '.that would be fine.' Who's your favorite character?
Mines the general who constantly flubs his lines and has an inconsistent high annoying voice over but apparently they just overlooked all of it in post and then he gets first dropped out of the back of an airplane then no scope headshot mid air by lady 'I have severe schizophrenic psychosis and it's caused me to develop split personalities'.
' With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military power, and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of 'Justice and Peace'. The year is After Colony 195.' Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing (lit. 'New Mobile Report Gundam Wing') is one of the more famous (or infamous, if you prefer) of the. Aired in Japan in 1995, it was brought to the United States (and eventually worldwide) in 2000 on, pushing Gundam into the Western mainstream.In the year, the rules the Earth Sphere (the Earth, Moon and associated space colonies) with an iron fist, with the help of known as Mobile Suits.

Because she can positively identify him, Heero tracks Relena down and.Gundam Wing is known for its political twists, as the Gundam pilots find themselves having to blast their way through the various groups in power behind the UESA, and eventually their own force, while Relena fights in her own way to bring peace to the world.It was followed up by a three-part OVA, where the remnants behind the rebellion try one more time for. The OVA was then followed up by an, adding about 20 minutes in between various scenes and an almost completely overhauled ending which resulted in a more fully realized story.Aside from a number of prequel and sequel mangas, an official sequel, the novel New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop, was published in August of 2010. Frozen Teardrop takes place on Mars (and uses the Mars Century calendar to keep track of the orbital differences) about 20-30 years after the events of Endless Waltz.
The children of various characters end up getting embroiled in battles and political intrigue right alongside their parents and mentors. The story also fleshes out the backstories for Heero Yuy and Treize Kushrenada.The series was brought to Western shores via in 2000 and was a smash hit. Two versions of the show were aired during its initial run: a slightly- version that omitted some violence and dialogue, and the uncut version shown during the 'Midnight Run' (which was likely the inspiration for the programming block introduced just a year later). In fact, the combined success of both this series and (the two ran back-to-back for most of their runs) can be tracked as the source of the major Anime boom in the 2000's.With a cast full of attractive male characters and the Gundams themselves mixing practical military designs with aesthetic appeal, Gundam Wing is often credited (or possibly, blamed) for introducing to the genre of.Character Sheets are found.You can also watch it for free now at. Tropes used in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing include:.:.: If a character's grandparents are shown in Frozen Teardrop's, they're guaranteed to be revealed as.
Treize's dragged their daughter away from her husband and forced her into a political marriage, while Relena's forced one of their daughters to live in a single room with a cat as her only companion (and, to a lesser extent, made the other live with the Darlian family).: Noin, Sally, Hilde, Une, and to a more limited extent, Relena (who is when under pressure).: Glory of the Defeated can best be described as the TV series rewritten with full knowledge of all the After Colony stories. In Chapter 2 alone, we get Duo's Endless Waltz flashback, scenes from Episode Zero, and Heero referring to Zechs' Leo as a Gryph, a pre-series mecha from Frozen Teardrop.: Treize, though he wasn't that evil, compared to others.: The Heavyarms has one of the most impressive alpha strikes in anime history. Hand-held, gatling guns, head-mounted, and a all going off at once. Good times!.: It's mentioned that the After Colony calendar started with the first colony sent to space.
In the 1970's. This could explain the down the line.
Specifically, the diverge from our time came sometime in the 1950's, around the.: This series takes era fashion and technology, and combines it with the fashion and technology of, and. There's also a pronounced European flavor going on.
It's a mix though from the different parts of the early-mid 20th Century. And not to mention the mooks on both sides dressing like or soldiers (or fighter pilots in the case of those using mecha).: The OAV (and ) Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. Also, the 'Eve Wars' took place during Christmas Eve.: The Gundams are very complex, detailed machines.
Except usually they're not drawn that way because it would send the budget for fight sequences through the roof. While you can make out every scratch, joint and piece of weaponry on the Gundams in the opening sequences, in the show proper, their designs are heavily simplified whenever they're moving.
And then when they're standing still for extended periods, they're all detailed again. Heero: Mission accepted/complete.Heero:. (.).: 'IT'S A GUNDAM!' Is very, very frequently said , to the point it becomes an drinking game.: In the Blind Target manga side story (whose story is written by series scenario/scriptwriter Akemi Omode), this happens.
Relena tells Heero that though she knows he's a strong person, she wishes he'd let her worry for him more and turns to leave. Duo: Oh, man, Quatre loves to blame himself for everything if you let him. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he starts saying his lack of effort is the reason there's no air in outer space.: Wouldn't be Gundam without them:. In Episode 34, when Zechs steals the Wing Zero from OZ before they got a chance to destroy it. When the rebel faction White Fang captured OZ's Lunar Base, which, at the time of the raid, was developing the Virgo II mobile dolls. They also captured OZ's battleship Libra, which became their base of operations. After stealing critical data on Libra, Hilde did a Taurusjack and escaped the battleship, before she was attacked by the mobile doll versions of Mercurius and Vayete, which were programmed with Heero and Trowa's combat data, respectively.
She was saved by Duo. In Episode 47, when Zechs was about to fire Libra's main cannon at Treize, Lady Une wakes up from her coma and steals the Wing Gundam. Une then knocks Treize out of the way and for him. Duo: Use your parachute, idiot!oh, man, I'm gonna be having nightmares about this!.:. The Romefeller Foundation, a secret league of aristocrats who funded the Alliance and plotted to take over the world. They had enough clout to form The Specials, an elite Mobile Suit corps that served as the front for OZ. The Barton Foundation, which had ambitions to takes over the world, and the resources to attempt to do it twice.: Relena, when held hostage by the Barton clan during Endless Waltz.: 'Trowa Barton' was seperated from his family as a baby and raised by a band of mercenaries, who never named him.
He remains nameless his entire life until the eve of Operation Meteor, when he lifts the moniker of the man originally trained to pilot the Heavyarms Gundam. After, considers himself nameless once more, until, and there's no reason he cannot keep it.: If the ICBM's missiles at New Edwards were to go off, the blast radius is speculated to be in the dozens of kilometers. That would take a looooooot of conventional missiles.
In one sub, it's said to be 200 to 300 kilometers wide (and they're simply called 'large missiles'). The, released as part of the Sunrise Art Book Series, clearly labels the missiles as ICBMs.: Treize and Zechs.: Zechs and Noin.: Mariemaia is the poster child for this at the end of Endless Waltz. Heero: Your shelter is secure, is it?Mariemaia: Of course it is!
See for yourself just how powerless you are!Heero: Roger that.Mariemaia:.GASP. More generally, throughout the series, various characters (major, minor and nameless) have this reaction when they see that they're fighting a Gundam. Panicked shouts of 'IT'S A GUNDAM!'

As demonstrated by several instances (including one in which Heero and Quatre took out an entire carrier battlegroup with just a transport plane and a pair of sub-machine-guns), the are entirely optional.:. Averted.
In one episode, Dorothy delivers a little speech comparing Heero Yuy the colonial leader to Heero Yuy the Gundam Pilot, to try and rile him up and make him reveal his identity. After she's done, he responds 'I don't know what you're talking about. There must be at least two guys here named Heero Yuy besides me.'
This, seeing as how important and popular the original Heero Yuy was. The name 'Catherine' pops up in several different forms throughout the series and its spin-offs: Cathy Bloom (Trowa's 'sister'), Katrina Peacecraft (Relena's birth mother), Katherine/ Winner (Quatre's mother), and in Frozen Teardrop, Kathy Po (Sally's daughter) and Katrina Oud Winner (Quatre's younger sister, named for their mother).: Zechs and Une; Ranks?
Lieutenant Colonel. Treize; Rank? 24.
This may have to do with nepotism, since Treize is a member of a Romefeller family, and he in turn favored Zechs and Une.: Trowa, and to a lesser extent, Noin and to an even lesser extent Hilde.: One sidestory has a subversion with the so-called Perfect Peace People. Despite all their constant rhetoric about how pacifist they are, they are little more than terroists who brainwash people and use violence to enforce their peace.: Relena when made queen.: The Episode Zero manga, which was written by the anime's head writer. Because of this, it is more or less canonical.
Gundam Wing Frozen Teardrop English
Considering Episode Zero was meant to be animated as episodes 27 and 28 of the anime (but was cut out due to behind-schedule production and replaced with two ), it is canon. Whether it's canon is debatable, mostly due to the head writer admitting in interviews that he 'quit' (in Japan, this could mean was fired) around the time those episodes were made. He also wrote the new illustrated novel Frozen Teardrops, which contradicts some elements of Episode Zero itself.: Dorothy and Duo's reaches below their butts (Duo's is less obvious because he keeps it braided); Relena and Zechs' reaches the small of their backs.: Who'd think that the waifish guy in a pink shirt would be the more dangerous one? And hey, the likes to take rose-scented bubble baths, as well as listening to opera music.: Inverted in-universe.
Dorothy is shocked at then news of Treize being killed but doesn't cry to which Trowa says to her, 'That's sad. A woman who can't cry.' .
If people don't bash Relena for 'taking Heero away from Duo', she's bashed for being unapologetically girly or having a pink limo (which her parents gave her, so it's not like she can choose the color).: Duke Dermail has Relena made Chief Representative of the Romefeller Foundation, in order to justify Romefeller's invasion of the Sanc Kingdom and hoping to use her as a symbolic puppet to consolidate Romefeller's power. Mariemaia: History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace, and revolution continue on forever.: Noin and Relena. While Lady Une is both with her two personalities.: The Toonami promotion trailer was incredibly awesome. Well produced and voiced by, it was so popular that Bandai used it for their own trailers.: Despite this, the trailer does exaggerate a bit, as the narrator states '.Mankind has reached the stars, but the galaxy is troubled.' In the show, most of the action really takes place on Earth or the Earth-Moon system, and humanity haven't even left the solar system. That said, it's an acceptable exaggeration, enhancing the overall feel.:.

Also, Dorothy brings up this topic while fencing with Heero, but he quickly shows that.: Treize and Zechs engineer the war between the Earth Nation and White Fang as part of their plan. The manga version is a lot more explicit on this point, with Zechs confessing the truth to Heero, but the anime strongly implies the same.
