It's pretty sad that the composer, Yushi Matsuyama of the first Mobile Suit Gundam series had died today on the same day that the first episode aired 38 years ago. He has produced a really iconic ost for the original Gundam series and it's a shame he had to die in a really tragic way.
I like how it adds the main Gundam theme into it, most villians in shows don't get that and it kind of gives the feeling he's an "on the fence" kind of villian.
The Track is called Gallant Char, but it played whenever the White Base crew went to battle. Particularly Amuro and Gundam. Char wasn't always present.
Most notably, the first time we hear it is when Char enters the colony to try to take evidence or destroy the Project V stuff and is then fleeing through the elevator doors near where the White Base is.
Char Aznable plays the song entitled 'Gallant Char.' Char immediately gains a 100% bonus to his speed, agility, evasion, and overall badassity. If Amuro Ray, especially while piloting Gundam, is Char's target, Amuro's accuracy drops to 1%
"This is the worst mission ever!!" "Why, because our CO didn't promote us and now Red Comet is attacking us?" "No because the humidity- *OF COURSE ITS BECAUSE NOW RED COMET IS ATTACKING US!!!* "
Ahhh.... Back when disco was an acceptable style for combat music... Tracks like these may sound out of place by today's anime battle standards, but back in the late 70s and early 80s they were fucking bangers for watching dudes battle it out in giant robots - or in the case of Fist of the North Star, hitting each other's pressure points.
Yep, pretty much is interesting how some animes reflect what was the popular music of the times. You have Gundam using Disco in the late 70's and then Saint Seiya using Heavy Metal in the mid to late 80's.
I like to think the composer knew that the fight scenes would never get past that first section so after a minute they just went fuck it and started doing some funky shit
Honestly i love the original entirely, the second half is perfectly understandable if you see the year the anime was made. In my opinion i find this one the best super robot wars version: ruclips.net/video/p-GkiLwXm04/видео.html
First half: Amuro and the crew in yet another tense military operation against enemy Zeon forces 1:16 kicks in: The bridge of White Base decides it's not that big a deal, activates the mirror ball on deck and bust out dancing disco
BRUHHHHH... i remember playing Mobile suit gundam: journey to jaburo on ps2 as a kid and when I heard this music I knew i was FUCKED. Char used to beat my ASS on that game and there were no save points I hated it so much but he's still my fav character.
That moment after the red Z'Gok bores a GM right in the pilot seat, its monoeyed glare piercing through the explosion, and rises from its kneel in slow motion, and the masked Deikun reunites with his rival after 19 episodes, and this kicks in... *chef's kiss*
I have never seen a Gundam show. Not one. Bought a couple kits and enjoyed them but that's it, however, this? This right here? This is the good shit. This, in my mind, *is* Gundam
I was in a gunpla store yesterday and while listening to my random gundam playlist. This theme suddenly plays and I saw one last stock of Hello Kitty x Char's Zaku 2. 🤣🤣 P.S. I bought it cause char was telling me to buy that kit lol. 😁

I'm curious, was this actually supposed to be Char's theme? I remember this song mostly being used as a combat theme for the Gundam.
when fighting char it is played
A song named "Gallant Char"? Nah, it's some other loser's theme, surely.
The most memorable appearance of this song for me is the first time Gundam uses a beam saber.
My friend once had this playing when we were eating lunch and I just looked at him and said “you think that mobile suit is a match for The O char?!”
Everytime I listen to this at work I feel that my performance is three times better
I only know this song from playing the games so much.
If you hear this in space and saw a red mobile suit moving three times faster than others, you know you're fucked.
