    Creator’s notes:
    2013’s MSV-R retconned Eric Manthfield’s Zaku II Commander type into a Zaku IIFS type.
    Early works refer to Johnny ridden as “Red Blitz” and show the initials RB on his Zakus, this got nickname got retconned to Crimson Lightning somewhere down the line. (In a future video I will explain the most recent explanation of that RB)
    Brenev Auggs’ name is currently listed as Breniss Ox on Bandai’s official website, however the katakana for his name isブレニフ・オグス(burenifu ogusu). Since I’m going with the Japanese pronunciation, I felt that the older romanization of his name as “Brenev Auggs” fit better.
    Because these pilots make guest appearances in many games and manga, I stick to listing only their main and canonical machines (which I tried determining to the best of my abilities)
    Usually the Zaku IIFS doesn’t seem to be listed as with commander type in the name, even though it is a commander version of the F-type, hence why I designated it as such
    Despite being an F-type, Ridden’s Zaku II does have a commander antenna.
    The first sources I found for Eric Manthield’s Zaku HM type listed the model number as MS-06R, which at the time of making the script I assumed was the MS-06R-1 test type, but looking at the model kit, it turns out that it’s the regular MS-06R-1A (the only visual difference is the left shoulder)
    I left out the typewriter noise this time because I felt that it didn't really add to the video in the way I hoped.

    • @diseasicon
      @diseasicon Před 6 lety +1

      I've always suspected that Zeon ace kills did include Saberfish etc. seeing as the Zeon Ace kill counts were significantly higher than the Federation's Aces. Seeing as the GM was superior in terms of firepower and acceleration to nearly every mobile suit Zeon had other than the Gelgoog, and were produced in such large numbers, it seems unlikely that kill counts would favor Zeon that much if it only included Federation MS.

    @Seraphil1 Před 6 lety +82

    One neat little note about Brenev Auggs that I recall is that a lot of his one-shot kills involved him getting into point-blank range with an enemy MS before shooting them in the cockpit or other vulnerable spot. To be able to do that consistently with a Zaku is IMO even more impressive than if he had simply been a one-shot-kill sniper.

      @RandomAllen Před 6 lety +104

      bvzxa3 During the One Year War, Char was a much better pilot than Amuro until the end when they became roughly equal. Amuro only surpassed Char around CCA era. During the beginning of the One Year War, Amuro wasn't even an actual pilot and the only reason Char couldn't defeat him is because he lacked the firepower with his Zaku II Commander Type to destroy the Gundam. When Char finally got a Gelgoog, Char and Amuro were much closer in skill but Sayla interupted the fight before Char could destroy the Gundam. Finally when he gets the Zeong, they both destroy eachother.

    • @marcosdheleno
      @marcosdheleno Před 6 lety +72

      i would actually consider the death of Lalah as the point were Amuro surpassed Char. remember, at that point, Char's Gelgoog was at least equivalent to the gundam in performance, if not superior.
      with only its armor being weaker, but then again, both units were equiped with high powered weapons, that would destroy the other with a single direct hit, so that was a moot point.

    • @HeadCannonPrime
      @HeadCannonPrime Před 6 lety +35

      I agree. If Norris Packard didn't sacrifice himself he would have racked up WAY more kills. He basically wrecked 3 full blown GUNDAM's just as a delaying action. Granted their pilots were kinda bad but still, thats impressive as an oldtype.

The Gelgoog Jager became my favourite Zeon MS because of how powerful, fast and awesome it was. As for Shin himself, it was his loyalty. I am a loyal person too, so I kind of understood the guy. White's my favourite colour (or shade), wolves are awesome, and the nickname "White Wold" is awesome.

      @@freshness2569 - You can kind of blame Kycilia. She poached almost every single ace pilot who exceeded a certain kill count it seems, excepting the personal friends of her brothers. This left Garma with only Char Aznable at his command, and Dozle with only Shin Matsunaga. Ramba and the Black Tri-Stars were under control of M'Quve, who answered directly to her. Most of the ace pilots she poached were eventually funneled into the Chimera Corp, and ones with newtype potential were given to the Newtype Corp with Flannigan. Literally as soon as Char was 'free', she had him recruited as well. The only aces she was unable to wrangle away were the hard core Gihren loyalists like Anavel Gato. But otherwise, any ace who was not a personal friend of someone important, or being used as a guinea pig (like Daryl Lorenz) got sucked up by her.
      The Chimera Corp is more or less the ace corp you're looking for. It's just that they were never where Amuro was.. And as it turns out, it was Gihren's mishandling of the war, not Amuro's abilities, which cost Zeon.
      Interestingly, if Kycilia does not have a chance to kill Gihren it seems she simply defects according to Gihren's Greed, creating "True Zeon." She becomes disillusioned with his fascist tendencies. I wonder if she'd of taken all of the aces with her and how big of an impact that would make in the grand scheme of things.

      Which is a detail I really like. As I recall it started as a mistake and rather than just retcon it they worked it in by writing it in that Zeon padded its aces kill counts to boost morale as they began to rapidly lose the war.

      In the beginning of the war, the feddies didn't have any mobile suits yet in their main army so it would be natural to count kills the way it was counted traditionally which was how many planes and tanks you shot down.

    • @supergeno128ds
      @supergeno128ds Před 6 lety +11

      @serenadesihout
      Which is fine and all, but shouldn't be added to MOBILE SUIT kill counts. They should be listed separately from MS kills... for example-
      Zeon McZeonface:
      5 ms kills, 10 fighters, 15 tanks, and 4 ships
      As opposed to-
      30ms kills (everything combined) and 4 ships. Makes a HUGE difference since as Kakarot and many others mentioned the total number of Zeon Ace kills outnumber the total number of MS produced by the EFF during the One Year War. And that's just the top TEN pilots!
      I have a funny feeling that the EFF ace list might be inflated as well, since we see Amuro take down a considerable number of Dopps and Magella tanks.

    Like literally,
    Zeon in the EU and MSV: *Create like 15 “Super, High-Mobility, full armor, sniper, artillery, mega customs.” That rival Gundam units, but stop because of cost. Then give them to “various ace pilots”*

      Also most of the top aces are notably survivors of the OYW, which is probably because they 1. Never ran into Amuro and 2. Was never forced to use a shitty prototype and died because they weren't used to it.

    @reveniantgoh7868 Před 3 lety +1

    MS kills shows quite something.
    Either its an exaggeration, or every combat vehicles of Feddies are counted as one (Balls, type 61, those space combat fighters).
    Or, Feddies produced enough GMs to throw enough at Zeon that even with that much killed, they still overwhelmed Zeon at Ao Baoa Qu, which is before estimated half of em being vaporized due to Solar Ray System.

  • @sim.frischh9781
    @sim.frischh9781 Před 6 lety +12

    Not a single GOUF, only one DOM, is it just me or are the suits weirdly represented?
    Another reason fo the high numbers could be that the Earth Forces rebuild suits from parts, which raised their numbers above what they actually produced, plus they used captured Zeon suits as well, pushing their numbers further. Also they might count the Ball units to MS count as they are not fighters/planes and often fielded aside MS.

    • @HeadCannonPrime
      @HeadCannonPrime Před 6 lety +9

      One of the big reasons is that Goufs were primarily deployed on Earth and actually didn't fight many Mobile suits until 3/4 of the war was over. And by that time they were getting overrun. They mostly went against Type 61 tanks core fighters. Also, space battles could net MUCH bigger "kill" numbers since the numbers in an engagement were much higher.

    • @sim.frischh9781
      @sim.frischh9781 Před 6 lety +1

    • @HeadCannonPrime
      @HeadCannonPrime Před 6 lety +11

      yeah probably. The Gouf was a close combat suit built for earth. Even though they were very good a Dom with a bazooka or even a Zaku 1 sniper is going to outscore a Gouf with the same operational time simply because it has more targets of opportunity. They could probably kill most targets before the battle even got into the Gouf's functional range.

    I hazard Zeon included vehicle kills, such as Federation space fighters, and not exclusively mobile stuits as part of their tallies. After all, at the start of the war, there were no Federation mobile suits to shoot down. If they wanted aces before the federation deployment of their own mobile suits, they'd have to count them. Alternatively, Zeon had "padded" the scores of their top aces for propaganda purposes; sell the populace heroes with impossible feats so they too would join the war effort.

    • @shade8816
      @shade8816 Před rokem

      I agree. Amuro only got as many kills as he did because Zeon would just not stop throwing fighters at him. Even taking into account stolen mobile suits and Federation production, there is just no way Zeon aces could have racked up that number of mobile suit kills individually in the last three months of the OYW. Now it is possible that 'kills' could have translated to 'damaged enough to flee the battle', but the numbers still seem way too high.

Me personally don't like this kind of kill count, it feels too fake, and they can make up anything they want. They try to replicate the aces in WWII Germany, but it feels so unreal. 100 GMs per personal? In the TV show, Amuro shot down 12 Doms within 30 mins and I call bullshit, and this is much worst than that.

    • @morisawakenji7877
      @morisawakenji7877 Před 6 lety +6

      Agree. The length of the One-year war is only 12 months, WWII Germany fought for 6 years. There is not enough time for 100+ aces at the first place since the E.F.F start having MS in July, which only leaves less than 5 months to create aces. Of course, they can count Balls and other MAs as kills to make up the aces for propaganda purposes, but what gives?

    Compared the fact we have multiple alternate storylines for Johnny Ridden
    One all about Shin and his post war stuff
    Numerous model kits for them and others
    And then everything to do with Char
    Where as on the Fed side…..besides anything involving Amuro we just have Lydo’s one shot manga which just introduces how he went from fighter plane Ace to a mobile suit Ace
    And that’s it, as if the video games weren’t bad enough
    I personally hated how much everything made after the original show was like the creators trying to do everything to humanize Zeon as much as possible while demonizing the Federation to the point of obnoxiousness
    Like it felt like everytime we were presented with Zeon soldiers on the front and Fed commanders it was like the proverbial hammer to the face: “See Zeon has Good People!” “Fed are led by a bunch of monsters nearly as bad as the Zabis!”

    These numbers make very little sense when you consider how many MS the federation fielded, this would mean that regular pilots scored almost no kills or the entire federation MS force was wiped out despite winning.

      The problem for his kill count is that he was mainly clashing with Amuro by the time that the Federation had any MS to kill.

      The list is sorted by number of kills. Char and Gato were amazing pilots, but Char got stuck on Gundam duty most of the time and was discharged after Garma's death and ended up missing most of the war, whilst Gato was on a defensive team and so didn't get to fight very often, so they both ended up with less kills than the guys on this list.

    No Char? No Ral?

      I think he's just ranking them by Kill Count, not popularity

    Are these mobile suit kills counting fighters too?
