Wait, did sayla get some extra kills in the tv series, or did hayato/Kai had a massive kill drought?

Once Sayla gets the G-Fighter she's generally getting multiple kills any fight she contributes in, including pulling off some stunt flying poo poo in one or two episodes. Kai is probably the most effective MS pilot behind Amuro.

I just remember Kai getting a big headstart on the killcount starting with the Winds of War battle, then the Garma Ambush, the desert battles, etc. He still got a lot of kills at Jaburo and space as well, but I haven't really watched the TV version in a long time.

Also iirc tomino was working on cca at the same time so he would have been more hands off on zz most likely.

CCA wasn't approved until about halfway through ZZ.

Amuro and Char have the problem of fighting each other, thus severely reducing their kill counts in the long run.

In quality, Amuro probably killed enough aces and mobile armors that would've made the war last a lot longer, because who else is going through all that Elmeth bullshit.

The first time I watched 0083, I bought the 1st VHS which had the first 2 episodes, and then the DVD that had the last 3 episodes.

You can imagine how that went.

Federation Vs. Zeon had a lot of missions where you fought Zeon's version of the Gundam and that thing was a bastard, because it one-shot everything and you had to basically stunlock it enough to kill it before it kills 25 allies.

Keep in mind the Leos have the specs to be protaganist suits in most other Gundam shows, so the Talgeese is like absurdly powerful by normal standards. Gundam's main difference is their armor plating, which doesn't matter as much if it's a one-sided fight.

It's easier to look better than Char when you're not facing arguably the best pilot in UC in Amuro. Unicorn was cool, but let's be real, everyone there except maybe Marida were scrubs compared to Amuro.

Kamille's mother dies by like episode 4 and his dad not too far off from that. Usso had a lot more poo poo happen to him technically, but Kamille had a lot more super personal losses.

He did throw Jerid off a mountain though, at least.

My first exposure to Gundam was from a translation of the first book, so I was very surprised the show wasn't about Amuro fighting Sha of Jion.

A guy that's been translating SRW stories for years will fight people every time they tell him to correct "Jion" into "Zeon"

Sayla killed a Black Tri-Star I guess.

I laugh everytime Char has that scene when he's informed the Gundam is part of a combination, because the most feared villain in UC is afraid of the loving G-Bull.

I'm pretty sure Heero has a higher kill count with a Leo than the Wing Gundam, who he wastes a Buster Shot on like 3 grunts before leaving it in the middle of the battlefield like it was garbage.

For a super hardcore soldier, he was the least logical in military tactics apparently.

TBF the buster rifle for the Wing gundam has a limited number of shots. They don't pay too much attention to it usually but it's a legit enough reason to explain that one away.

I know it only has 3 shots and that's why he wastes it on a small number of grunts instead of using the fact that Gundams are literally invincible in the universe and just use his beam saber.

Instead, he gives up a machine that 99% will come back and get used against him but doesn't because HONOR by Treize's troops or something.

G reco and unicorn are the only gundam series I started to watch seriously and never saw the ending , or was tempted to.

Closest after that was probably 08th ms team because the romance subplot became the main focus into high ger.

The worst aspect of SEED to me was the first half of the show was Kira against 3 professionally trained soldiers in Gundams and it was an even fight.

The White Base with 3 high-tech suits and newtype powers could barely keep afloat.

The only kid-aged character I wanted to die is Katz. That has nothing to do with his age, he's just written in a way that irks me, a person that constantly explains why Shinji is emotionally dead in the start of EoE.
