Mobile Fighter G Gundam

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is in the Future Century timeline and is about nations sending their best Gundam pilot every four years to fight against other nations with Earth as the arena and what ever nation wins the tournament they will get all sovereign over all other nations. However the rules are things as if the head of the Gundam is destroyed you are disqualified, You can never target the cockpit, and you can only do a one on one fight. The main character Domon Kasshu is fight for Neo Japan to free his father who is blamed for treason because his son stole the Dark Gundam(Devil Gundam) and the only way for Domon to get his father back is to find the Dark Gundam. The Reason I choose this picture is because I thought it showed best how they pilot it. They pilot the Gundams with this suit while they are suspended some how and when they move the Gundam moves, which is why the Gundams arm is extended and his is also.

Gundam SEED Destiny is Confusing

Gundam SEED Destiny is a little confusing at first. Some of the people have a different name because they are in hiding and some are new. A few of them even look the same so you need to pay attention to clothing. For example of a name change Cagalli is called Atha which is her last name but they did not use it in SEED. Then there is Shinn which in the Manga looks like Athrun or Kira. So if you are going to read it I suggest to look at names and memorize them as soon as you can. Otherwise you might get lost like I did at first. (Left Picture left to right- Athrun Kira Shinn) In the Manga They use black as the hair color and they look very similar.

Gundam Comic Books?

Yesterday I was wondering if there was a Gundam Comic Book thanks to my teacher loving comic books. I found some. Gundam Wing from the 2000s. They are cheap but you have to pay for shipping which most places no matter what the size charge $5. From what I have herd Gundam Wing is good. I have not had any experience with the series(yet). But I might buy these. So for Gundam from television series to Manga to comic books(I was not expecting it) to toys to a giant statue in Bandai park Gundam has a lot of things. Look something up if you think of and you might just find what you thought of. And just to be sure I am still not 100% about them being comics. But I am convinced that they are.

Lagrange Points

Earth in the Center with the Moon

Sun in the Center with the Earth

If you are going to watch Gundam there is one thing that you might want to know and that is Lagrange Points. In the series they never say what Lagrange Points really are so then you begin to think it is just a base or area that they own. In a way it is but there is a lot more to it. In Gundam 00 they talk about going to a Lagrange Point as if it were one of there bases. In Gundam SEED they talk about it as an area. So I decided to do some research and found out it is actually. The information is not exactly clear and does not answer certain questions so if you have any questions I say you should go do some research. I might be able to do some if you ask but it is hard to find information on this. A Lagrange Point is a stable point in gravity. It seems simple and there are equations to find them but it is long and I don't have the time to write it all out. So a stable point of gravity it sounds simple and should be easy to understand but it arose the question if it is around Earth or around the Sun. I have seen both more Sun than Earth so I would think both are right. However Lagrange one, two and three are unstable. Lagrange four and five have large amounts of dust. So if you were in Lagrange one to three the object would need thrusters and have to activate them every once in a while. In Lagrange four and five you would need strong shielding. I have found interest in Lagrange Points for a while and hope this helped answer some questions or help you understand Gundam a little more. For the Americans 1.5 million km is 932,056 miles. So then 150 million km is 93,205,678 miles.

Gundam SEED's Coordinators

Two Coordinators: Athrun and Kira Fighting

Athrun and Kira

Gundam SEED has coordinators instead of Gundam 00's innovators. In Gundam SEED humans known as regulars hate the coordinators because the possible are jealous and that at the time there was a general dislike of genetic engineering. The coordinators were created through genetic engineering. When George Glenn the first coordinator said he was a coordinator made through a genetic manipulation procedure he did not intend for the regulars and coordinators to fight. Because of the coordinators faster learning and stronger and faster bodies, which include faster reaction, George Glenn intended for the coordinators to coordinate humanity to the next step of evolution. Since Zaft is completely made up of coordinators and have an easy time fighting the regulars I would personally want to be on Zaft's side. Now when you see one Zaft unit take down a ton of OMNI's forces you know how that is. The left one is Kira and Athrun (Gundam SEED), the right one is Kira and Athrun fighting (Gundam SEED Destiny). Athrun and Kira are two Coordinators.

Gundam SEED

Gundam Seed is set in the middle of a war between Zaft and OMNI (Oppose Militancy and Neutralize Invasion) or the Earth Alliance are at war due to the Bloody Valentine war which was when a plant (Space Colony) was destroyed killing 243,721 civilians which most of them were Coordinators. The Bloody Valentine war was when OMNI launched multiple nuclear bombs at the plant Junius 7 located at Lagrange point 5. In all I would tell everyone who likes Gundam to read/watch Gundam Seed. The Manga is a little different in the order it tells things by a few scenes so if you did not want to read you will get the same amount of information from the show. If you want to know more about Gundam Seed go to the Gundam Wiki. The next blog will be on Gundam's Coordinators.

Book: The Gundam Explorer

This book is about what is in the title, it explors the universe of Gundam. My friend let me barrow this book and I later found out I will need to buy on. This book does not Just tell you things it answers questions. So if you are watching or reading Gundam and want to know something then you look it up. So it is hard to just read it unless you know most of Gundam. If you are currently watching it  I would suggest buying it used for five dollars or a little more. It goes from the original Mobile Suit Gundam to Gundam Seed. If you are a Gundam fan I would say buy it.
