Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN is popular for its complex content, geared more towards adults than children. As such, it's filled with many memorable quotes. This time, we'll be introducing 10 of the most memorable quotes, ranked!
Quote Ranking #10: The Words Garma Says to Char at the Victory Celebration
Our #10 quote is a line spoken by Garma, who views Char as a rival. Up until now, Garma had never been on the front lines or done dirty work, but his job from now on will be to wipe out the remaining enemies at Loum. Char responds that such dirty work does not suit Garma. Garma then interrupts Char, raising his voice and shouting, "It's none of my business! I am who I am!!" This one sentence clearly exposed his complex about Char.
Famous Quote Ranking #9: Astraia's Last Words
Our ninth-place pick is a quote from Astraia, the mother of Char (Casval). Hamon visits Astraia, who is imprisoned in the tower and emaciated. Astraia is unaware of the situation outside. The last words she uttered to Hamon were, "If I could have just one wish granted... even if it was just for one night... with those children..." In the end, this wish was never granted, and Astraia passed away.
Famous Quote Ranking #8: Dozle Zabi's Once-in-a-Lifetime Proposal
Our #8 pick is Dozle's rather surprising proposal. Having been forced to take responsibility for the "Dawn Rebellion," Dozle summons Zena Mia, who had threatened him with a gun and held him captive during the incident. "I may be the kind of man I am, but sometimes, I get hurt..." Dozle says in a low tone, seemingly about how he was held captive. And then, with a sudden twist, he proposes! "Would you bear my child, Dozle Zabi?" It was a very straightforward proposal, typical of Dozle (lol).
No. 7 on the Famous Quotes Ranking: Degwin's emphatic words towards Gihren
Our seventh choice is a quote from Degwin, the head of the Zabi family. Riding high after his victory over the Federation Army, Gihren says, "We will continue to win, from now on. And to the very end." However, Degwin, wanting to settle things through negotiation, says, "You made a mistake by saying that. Napoleon and Hitler too!" " he said to Gihren, emphasizing his words. His use of Napoleon and Hitler as examples when scolding him shows his vast knowledge.
Famous Quote Ranking #6: Char's words when he refused to become captain
#6 is the scene when Char was given a ship and his subordinates called him "Captain." Char surprised his subordinates by saying he had no intention of becoming a captain. He then said, "Remember this, gentlemen. I have never once aspired to be a good sailor." He then added, "I am a warrior of the universe. A knight who soars freely through the heavens, faster than any ship." These words, so typical of Char, were truly moving.
Famous Quotes Ranking #5: Hamon's words to the person who came to arrest him and Ramba Ral
Our fifth-place pick is Hamon's assertive words! When someone suggested arresting Ramba Ral and harboring Hamon, Kycilia completely ignored them, saying, "Not you lowlifes, but Kycilia herself should come to this store with an arrest warrant!" Her subsequent words, "Tell them that Claure Hamon said that," were incredibly cool, even for a woman.
Famous Quotes Ranking #4: Char's Words to His New Roommate, Garma
Fourth place goes to the words Char said to Garma, who had asked Dozle to let him share a room with her. "You're just a brat, after all." Char said this to Garma, who had gotten his way after asking Dozle. Since Char often uses the word "brat," I couldn't help but smile when he used it here. Incidentally, the famous "Because I'm just a brat" line was uttered by Garma upon his death in "Mobile Suit Gundam."
Famous Quotes Ranking #3: Words Spoken by Casval When Under Strong Attack
The third place goes to a famous quote Char uttered when he was still Casval. Although the attacker was a woman, she was a soldier and a member of the Zabi family. Despite being restrained and handcuffed, she still glared at Kycilia and commanded her, "Casval Rem Deikun commands! Take these off!" In the end, Kycilia returned without laying a hand on Casval and instead informed Gihren of Casval's danger.
Famous Quote Ranking #2: The Black Tri-Stars' Quote as They Watch Char Fight
Our second-place pick is a quote from the Black Tri-Stars. Speaking of Char, every Gundam fan knows his nickname, the "Red Comet." Surprisingly, they were the first to use that phrase. "Three times the normal speed. Truly the Red Comet." All three of them have rather rugged faces, but their naming sense for Char's fighting form seems to be exceptional (lol).
Famous Quote Ranking #1: Char's Final Words in "Dawn Rebellion"
The top-ranked quote on our ranking is Char's final words in "Dawn Rebellion." "Red, what a beautiful color." This line immediately evoked the image of Char = red. Incidentally, this line wasn't in the original manga or script, but was apparently improvised on set... Perhaps it was precisely because it was improvised that such a famous line was born.
Famous Quotes Ranking Summary
So, what do you think of the ranking of famous quotes so far? It was difficult to rank each quote, but my personal number one pick, "It's red. What a beautiful color," was by far the clear winner, and was the first choice. Dozle has a surprising number of other memorable quotes, but we couldn't introduce them all this time... What was your favorite quote?
