Cackling with Laughter as He Fires a Vulcan Barrage from a Mobile Suit at a Defenseless Human! Camille’s Original “Mad Dog” Move in “Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam”

There is a scene in episode 2 of the anime “Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam” that starkly brings to light the intense personality of the protagonist, Kamille Bidan (voiced by Nobuo Tobita). In a way, this act became the origin of the “mad dog” reputation he would later earn.

In episode 2, “Departure,” as soon as Kamille seizes control of the Gundam Mk-II, he mercilessly opens fire with its Vulcan cannons against the Titans military police officer (MP) who assaulted him in episode 1. While recklessly shooting live ammo at an unprotected human, Kamille lets out a triumphant cackle with the line, “Serves you right!”—a completely unhinged display.

Fortunately for the MP who was shot, he did not lose his life, but under different circumstances this would have been a dangerously criminal act. It was a move that perfectly matched Kamille’s machine performance with his heightened emotional tension.

Amate Yuzuriha, also known as Machu (voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa), the protagonist of the anime “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” was described as a mad dog on social media, but even Machu would pale before Kamille’s sheer recklessness as shown in this scene.
