[Photos/Images] It Actually Talked from the Very First Model! Gundam’s Ultra Rare Function That Was Activated Only Once 1st

In fact, the Gundam occasionally talks. Out of all 43 episodes of the anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam," there is only a single scene — in episode 18 — where the Gundam speaks directly to its pilot, Amuro Ray (voiced by Toru Furuya).

This occurs when Amuro is confronting M’Quve (voiced by Kaneto Shiozawa) and other Zeon forces. The Gundam is exposed to an intense temperature of 4000 degrees due to the enemy's attack. At that moment, the onboard computer inside the Gundam announces, “Releasing 98% of total energy to protect pilot and circuits.” The high-pitched, monotone, and unmistakably “mechanical!” voice exudes a certain sense of that era.
