Even fleeing civilians are mercilessly attacked by stray bullets, and Fraw Bow loses her family in an instant and breaks down crying. Seeing her like this, something changes in Amuro. He gets into the cockpit of the Gundam with the documents in his hand, and without being ordered by anyone or receiving any training, he stands up. Then Amuro pilots the Gundam with the documents in hand and slices Jean's Zaku in half with a beam saber. This is the moment when the "White Devil of the Federation" was born.
If Jean had obeyed his orders at that time, Amuro might have ended his life as just a boy. But reality dragged him onto the battlefield and eventually raised him to become an ace who created many legends. The one who created that opportunity was none other than the Zeon soldier Gene, which is truly ironic. The first episode was not just an introduction to the story, but the biggest turning point in the "Universal Century". From such a perspective, both people who have never seen it before and those who were once absorbed in it should be surprised at the dramatic nature of the first episode.
The anime "Mobile Suit Gundam" is a robot anime produced by Sunrise, which aired from April 1979 to January 1980, and was directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino. It pioneered a new genre called "real robot anime", and has had a significant impact on subsequent robot anime. Although the ratings at the time of its broadcast were not good, the popularity soared with reruns and the release of the movie version, leading to a "Gunpla" boom. Since then, many Gundam series and spin-offs have been produced, and it remains highly popular today.
