Since some people like yung . and Deimos don’t know much about Gundam, well here are some simple trivia to them and to those who don’t know what is Gundam all about. The picture above is the very first Mobile Suit Gundam unit, the RX-78-2 Gundam is the first Gundam to appear in the franchise. The RX-78-2 Gundam is pilot by legendary newtype Amuro Ray.
Storyline of Mobile Suit Gundam
Actually, the storyline of Mobile Suit Gundam (the first Gundam anime series to air) is standard affair. Human vs Human war kind of stuff. Which I won’t go into detail as we have read about our own World War I and World War II and whatever war that is going on now in the world. In this case, it’s Earth Federation Forces vs The Principality of Zeon.
Hero
Amuro Ray. He is probably your everyday hero-type character, except that he is a freaking insane mobile suit pilot. One example is that he took out 9 advance mobile suit units in mere 3 minute with his obsolete RX-78-2 Gundam.
Villain (or that’s what some of us thought)
Char Aznable is the “so-called” villain and arch nemesis of Amuro. He pilots the MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type unit from The Principality of Zeon side to which he is nickname the “Red Comet”. (He is also the one that started off the “Masked Villain” arch-type in the franchise.)
