    Check out the Strike Dagger Development History here: ruclips.net/video/GBuXbY7RjeA/видео.html
    Kakarot’s notes:
    I’m calling BS on the Blu Duel’s official height. It should be no different from the regular Duel because it’s just a direct copy of the original, that then had its exterior overhauled, with minor changes on the inside. But official specs are official specs, so that’s the number on screen.

      It was only 0.61 meters shorter. It makes small amount of sense that they try to make it a bit shorter given its higher emphasis on close quarter combat. Smaller target even if its not by much. And, given how fast tech progressed in SEED, can we really say that it only had minor changes done on the inside?

      It's also the Gundam with the most Gundam kilz under its belt.
      Because it took out both the raider and the forbidden, none of the other five prototypes or the successor units have that same statement, the strike took down the blitz on accident, the aegis blew up the strike with it's own self destruction system and the buster well it's gun took down the raider but controlled by the duel.

    The Duel may not have been as unique or flashy as its sister Gundams, but its pilot more than made up for it with skill and tact (and the Assault-Shroud upgrade probably didn't hurt, either).
    Of the five original Gundams, it alongside the Buster were the only ones to survive the end of SEED, and it was also the only one to make it through the final battle in one piece.
    Now do the development history for the Age System, ASAP.

    The real reason why the duel Gundam got the assault shroud armor was because it was damaged by the battle with the strike right before re-entry into Earth and because they didn't have a proper way to repair the unit because they didn't know enough yet about phase shift armor they decided to give it extra armor plating and repair the part that they could with basic non-power conductive materials

    • @swakage13x
      @swakage13x Месяц назад

      Also cool little side note the dual Gundam has the most Gundam kills under its belt out of all the ones from the series not including manga specific because the blitz didn't take anything down the ages had to sacrifice itself to blow up the strike the strike took out the blitz the buster didn't take anything down but it's gun was used to take out the raider and that gun was being used by The duel and the duel also took down the forbidden because the Justice didn't take anything down by itself it had to use the meteor unit to take out the calamity the Providence mostly took out the freedom but still got beaten by the freedom. So yeah in the anime the original 8 gundams we see technically 9 because the two different strikes The duel had the best record out of everything when it came to fighting other gundams, I also love the fact it's basically a seed version of the Alex Gundam just without the wrist-mounted Gatling guns, as well as getting two of its own mass production units the coordinator specific brown unit and then the anyone can use it blue unit, it just sucks at the blue duel didn't actually do well in its introduction

      My headcannon is that it was either too advanced for its time to be constructed, had complicating parts and that it was a just a test phase of creation in the Simulations which was then refined to make the Gat Series line.
      If you remember the first few episodes of SEED ORB and the Earth Alliance was unable to create a user friendly OS for Naturals to use as the Hijackers were complaining on how would the Gundam OS run on this complicated process.

It also uses the same beam rifle as the Strike (What I call the M702) and can be equipped with a modified form of the Buster's Missile Pods. It also has different colored eyes. I also sometimes have an extra pair of Duel Units produced around the same time as the original version.

      The Slash Zaku Yzak had in SEED Destiny proved to be more than a match to Gundams if the pilots were inexperienced. Yzak, Dearka, and Athrun basically manhandled the Chaos and Abyss Gundams. After all, in CE, Gundams aren't these all-powerful machines that can tank everything (which is usually the case in UC and other universes). They're glass cannons in CE so the difference in machine performance can often be closed by the gap in pilot skill.

      You're correct because the control scheme shown for the mobile suit is definitely not optimal. You can't use traditional control (such as in fighter jets, which it was used as reference for ms control) because the 'human' movement is much more complex than just simply moving a vehicle up down left right forward and back.
      So yeah, the Coordinators have to work with terrible control to move the ms. Its an equivalent to flying a plane using only keyboard. With a lot of work it can be done, but it will take a lot big brain to compensate for the terrible control.
