Well the zaku is analogous to the Zero identifier for the A6M-2.

What was the first Zeon suit designed for anti-mobile suit combat? Was it the Gouf or the Dom? Zaku 1s and 2s were initially designed as ship killers and then general purpose ground units.

The Dom's nipple laser thing was specifically for blinding enemy pilots. I think the Gouf was just supposed to be a better at ground stuff than the Zaku

Victory Haro best Haro. Victory dog is also a good dog.

Victory baby sucks real bad though, there's one episode where Karlmann cries for about 20 minutes and that almost got me to quit watching.

Victory also has the worst childhood friend/love interest.

Give it up Shakti, Chronicle is too much of a dope to not drink the Zanscare koolaid, so stop getting people killed when you decide to jump ship multiple times.

I know people often say that Victory is bad, but I’ve sincerely enjoyed the first half. I like the ensemble cast way more than what ZZ was trying to do. The action is choreographed pretty well for UC Gundam. Everything feels a little desperate. Oh, and the Gundam is mass produced and Üso is constantly getting saved by his more experienced teammates.

Yeah, fluff-wise that's one of the major reasons the Dom entered mass production over the Gouf. The Gouf was more or less a super-Zaku II, while the Dom was a completely innovative design that paired heavy Anti-MS weaponry on an extremely mobile platform.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the Dom kind of is the best terrestrial combat mobile suit of the OYW.

I think the idea for it was the urban legend of how the Willys GP became the jeep in WWII. But that idea for the GM might just be the remembered assumption of some /m/ poster so who knows.

The first two thirds of victory were excellent, it just really falls apart later on for the most part.

To be fair Teetans is the correct pronunciation for either Greek or Latin and Japan usually goes with whatever one of those it is. eg: hard k kentaur instead of centaur and stuff like that.

I didn't mention this when talking about Victory but its 100% true. Victory Haro also dispenses drugs so he's basically the coolest MFer in Gundam.

I kept wondering when he'd stop expanding in the mid episode bits, but the answer is never and that was great.

Watching Zeta Gundam the first time, and the dub raised a question I'd never considered before: Do people pronounce the GM as the "Jim", or was that just a weird thing the dub does? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Jim instead of Gee Emm.

Please, you got this totally wrong.

They pronounce it "Gym"

Looks like the Vertigo/Bertigo as a Gundam instead of a Qubeley. Sad it isn't the design they'd made for what's-her-face but got cut out due to the shortened run.

Ennil El? It really wouldn't make sense for her to get that design instead of Carris, or in general given the units she used. I liked the unit design she was supposed to get anyway.
