The retelling of Char and Amuro is one of the things that SRW can do with near perfection. Be it, adding them with an extra bit of emotion that you wouldnt think that it wasnt out of character for them. Z3.1 was the best Char we've had, and now the old war bond between Koji, Ryoma and Amuro is turning out to be the best representation of how the 3 series paved the way for this franchise.
I think he probably means plotwise. In the Second SRW we had Amuro from the very first Gundam Series, along with Mazinger Z and Getter Robot. No mention was done to the one year war though. If I remember correctly, in Second SRW we had Gundams First through F91but no 0080 and 0083. I could be wrong though since I played it long time ago.
@@shaunttorosian8498 The very first SRW is not One Year War. It's about a group of sentient SD robots forming a rebellion army to fight against Gilgilgan, the villain of Great Mazinger vs. Getter Robo. SRW2 calls its story "The Second Super Robot Wars" which refers to the game itself, not exactly that there's a super robot war before Bian Zoldark. In the classic timeline, Zeon has completely integrated into the Divine Crusaders and DC remnants. Most of the iconic moments in the 0079 anime happen throughout SRW2 and SRW3 as the main plot. The games that prominently feature One Year War are GC/XO and OE, where you recruit Amuro on his first days in the Gundam. However, you don't get to have the original trinity. GC/XO uses Shin vs. Neo Getter Robo plot, while OE uses Shin Mazinger Kouji and Armaggedon Ryouma.
29:52 "You see, Amuro always blew it when it comes to women. Fraw? Married Hayato instead. Sayla?...Well, she's a weird one. Lt. Matilda? Dead....and the less said about that thing he got from Sayla..the better"
@@SaotomeMondo no in the novels Amuro was pressured by Kai and hayato to have sayla give him a locket that has some of her pubic hair in it for luck in the final battle where in the novels Amuro dies in, in one of the srw z games it was hinted that sayla did give him that locket but died in the final battle herself.
Man, sure took a while for Amuro to show up, but at least this time there was more build-up to it than V. And hey, Beltorchika's Children storyline for once! Well worth the wait, but even if it weren't, I'm just happy to see Beltorchika being around at all. After her role in Zeta and the special little scene she had with Amuro in the movie, it has been long overdue. Chan always felt... odd and kinda out of nowhere to me. Even Sayla's departure from the storyline had some more going for it even with the VA reasoning; War just plain sucks. But with this, we finally have the last of the Holy Trinity showing up. Just a matter of time before they all come together to kick butt like the good old days.
Yeah I agree, I do wish Beltorchika had a role in the film similar to the novel because it adds an interesting (and somewhat tragic) full circle element to Amuro's story arc. And also she's a cool character.
Mr Zone's ship design includes...crew quarters stationed RIGHT NEXT TO THE AMMO DUMP, evacuation pods....right out of the barrel of the ships' cannons and cupholders...in the reactor core.
Yeh, I was thinking that it was kinda one sided. But hey, those irregulars ain't " irregulars" when it comes to ass-kicking. Plus Shin-getter and Chirico can always pick up the slack for Harlock's team 😁
Yeah, which I'm so glad they decided to not do. Kamille joining Neo Zeon would have been so insanely stupid. Char might have been his mentor, at one time, but to think he'd stick around with a group that starts using the same methods as the Titans (gassing colonies, dropping colonies, in other words just killing massive amounts of people just to make a point.) makes no sense whatsoever. It would have been cool if Kamille had made a cameo in CCA in some way, but they dodged a mega character assassinating bullet by dropping the idea of him being in Gyunei's place.
Some things really do indeed never change, like Quess remaining absolutely insufferable. Also man, even after being used for a few games I still can't not find Nu Gundam's animations just jawdropping. That shit is frame by frame animated for some of these attacks. Though the fact Amuro, legendary Ace pilot man and OG Gundam pilot, deftly and effortlessly dodges all of this beam fire, funnels, missiles and stuff...but takes a hit to this slow comically lumbering mud man person that just sort of waddles towards him slowly with the response "I thought I avoided that" is pretty damn funny.
The only thing going for her is that she's lucky to not commit patricide this time around, and Hathaway has been downgraded to "Sir Not Appearing in this Game."
I really would have killed you if you had cut the toast scene :D It was too precious not to show. Thanks God I won't have to go through that trouble :D:D:D
1. Is there really no chance for the rosters to get shuffled around? I hear the Magic Knights never get to ride in the Arcadia. 2. Amuro's still stuck in Colorado, the poor bastard. An he got Beltorchika stuck with him, too. Is this the first time Quess has shown up in this recent spate of games though? 3. 6:49 Jesus, Judau just pulled a Katz! That's gotta be a double sting. 4. 10:49 Guest appearance by Spike Spiegel before he joins the Arcadia crew on wherever the hell they're going. 5. 11:51 Cheeky bastards, they made a shoutout to Eien no Amuro! 6. 13:23 Hey Beltorchika, sounding _dangerously_ close to being Flay Alster, there. 7. 16:19 I was waiting for that line. 8. 19:20 Welp, they blew the budget on the Nu Gundam _again._ 9. 21:38 _Bright Slap goes here_ 10. 29:17 I don't remember Amuro being that smooth with the ladies. Probably some of his _Beltorchika's Children_ creds. 11. 29:49 The 70s were a different time, kids.
13:29 The legendary line after getting Bright-slapped twice while "Not even my father hit me!" This is, by far, my favorite moment for Amuro in this game.
So Sagiri's getting the Gundam power. I don't really know Quess but...WTF...girl got some issues. Amuro is just incredibly popular. I honestly didn't think they'd use him for this game. How many has he been in? But since he's here that obviously means Char isn't too far behind.
@@MrMarket1987 Not even Koji has perfect attendance, though. Although he must be the closest UX for 3DS doesn't have him and has Mazinkaiser SKL instead.
It makes more sense if you've seen season 2 of Rayearth. The game drops hints as to what's going on if you attack the ogres with Newtypes or the Battlers before unpacking things later.
@@shaunttorosian8498 No. In Z2, Emperor Lelouch has no help from Neo Zeon and Char. In Z3, Char never meant to do the Axis Drop, and Lelouch fights Char and Neo Zeon, but as Zero, not Emperor.
Koji: Its Been A While Since we Teamed Up! Amuro: Excuse me? Koji: dude,do you still remember this? *Pulls Out the Original Super Robot wars* Amuro: Yeah,it was a Fun ride,but at last,We Gotta Team Up again Koji And Amuro: against This Zeonic Scum! *Koji and amuro Death Stare Char* Char: i......i dont like where this is going.......

The Super Robo Holy Trinity, right?
Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, and Gundam.
I agree
They managed to salvage that depressing trainwreck that was OG Gundam and its sequels and make Char not be a contemptible douchebag.
The Z3 axis drop scenario has legit made me cry because it's so damn beautiful.
char was right @@Elyseon
Man, seeing Koji and Amuro, the founders of the Super Robot and Real Robot genres, being buds is so cool. Their dynamic is just amazing.
I know right? Literally, all we need is the Getter Team to make it complete!
9:43 Haven't you heard, Amuro? Kabuto Kouji will never die...
Next episode: Kabuto Kouji dies in lava.
manifestation of Gudako's insanity Lava IS Magma after it comes out of a Volcano
Fun fact: This will be the first time SRW will do the Beltrochika children storyline in the series.
huh, neat.
As it turns out Kouji, Ryoma and Amuro were all in the OYW together.... OH BABY CAN YOU IMAGINE.
What is funny is that in all of SRW history we have never had this.
Would the Zabis ever bother waging war if they had to go up against the Holy Trinity?
@@johnbalkin8223 Wait, what about the very first SRW game?
Wasn't it just those three?

30:45 "I received this message sent specifically for me...it says "I came to laugh at you"...what does that even mean?"
Cue laugh track and Seinfeld style jingle.
Amuro: (Yup, this is definitely something Char would do. I would know from personal experience.)
Judau laying it all out on Amuro and Koji's bro talk was satisfying to watch.
Blocking both Koji and Amuro's introductions behind route splits. These clever fucks. I AM going out of my way for them, and you know it.
Man, sure took a while for Amuro to show up, but at least this time there was more build-up to it than V. And hey, Beltorchika's Children storyline for once!

Can't wait for that to happen!~
I think they have a few elements from Beltorchika Children but not exactly the full reenactment (I mean officially it's listed as unit only so yeah)
Yeah I agree, I do wish Beltorchika had a role in the film similar to the novel because it adds an interesting (and somewhat tragic) full circle element to Amuro's story arc. And also she's a cool character.

Jesus! You serious?!?!
@@shaunttorosian8498 I was joking.
@@SMAXZO
Oh....
"There's your space age polymers!"
You do realize that Bright just took the all-stars team to his roster, while Harlock gets...well, a band of ragtag misfits.
And I wouldn't have it any other way. They're all the finest misfits you could ask for.
There comes a time you have the old school in one team, and the new school in the other. This was just a perfect time.
Yeh, I was thinking that it was kinda one sided. But hey, those irregulars ain't " irregulars" when it comes to ass-kicking. Plus Shin-getter and Chirico can always pick up the slack for Harlock's team 😁
5:03 To re-enact Gundam vs Ideon, Umi.
Yea Amuro, Kouji can never die. and if he does, it's not like he'll be rebuilt as a cyborg or anything like that...oh wait.
Or just respawn into a new timeline.
YAY! Fin-Funneling intensifies!
Edit: GODDAMMIT QUESS...
You want to know what's scary? The original plans for CCA is that Gyunei's role was meant to be for Kamille..
That explains a scenario I saw on Cross Omega featuring Char. Enlightening. Thanks.
Yeah, which I'm so glad they decided to not do. Kamille joining Neo Zeon would have been so insanely stupid. Char might have been his mentor, at one time, but to think he'd stick around with a group that starts using the same methods as the Titans (gassing colonies, dropping colonies, in other words just killing massive amounts of people just to make a point.) makes no sense whatsoever.

@@Kiyosuki It was thanks to ZZ Gundam that Kamille dodged that bullet.
god that would have been so bad...
And stupid.
I've kinda wish that Bright and Harlock tapped their wine glasses together when they shared a drink or a least showed it.
Yeah but then the resident fujoshi might start shipping them if she heard of it.
Amuro: Don’t die out there Koji.
Koji: Hey, I’m Koji Kabuto. I always win in the end.
Ryoma: (Yeah, and then I have to pull your ass out again)
Weird when Kouji's the mature one here. Though Amuro's lucky it wasn't Ryoma meeting him...or else Ryo would reenact the Bright Slap scene.
More like the Ryoma punch (Getter Robot Go manga reference)
@@SaotomeMondo I was just thinking that!
[Er, Ryoma punching, not that specific scene, but still though!]
"With this Nu Gundam definitely not just for show"
Does that mean for more than two decade you're not sure yourself?
Nu Gundam IS just for show. Hi Nu on the other hand....

Amuro is just incredibly popular. I honestly didn't think they'd use him for this game. How many has he been in? But since he's here that obviously means Char isn't too far behind.
Most, period. Amuro and Ryoma are effectively second only to Koji in attendance, who remains at a perfect attendance record as far as SRW goes.
@@MrMarket1987 Not even Koji has perfect attendance, though. Although he must be the closest
