Kamille's anger erupts at this evasive reply, which could be perceived as dodgy. Shouting, "Clench your teeth! I'll correct you, such an adult!" he lands a punch on Quattro. This is the so-called "correction punch."

Though violent, the interaction is more than just a fight. It was a moment where a young man unleashed his emotions against an adult who refused to take responsibility and maintained a vague stance.

However, the scene is also heavily influenced by the values of the Showa era, and today it might be considered "non-compliant." Nonetheless, it leaves a powerful impression for that very reason.

The anime "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" is not only about battles but also delves sharply into the friction in human relationships and the gap between ideals and reality, as this scene reminds us.

The anime "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" was produced by Sunrise and aired from March 1985 to February 1986. It is a sequel set seven years after the One Year War in "Mobile Suit Gundam." The series also sparked the "Gunpla" boom. Numerous derivative works, including the Gundam series and spin-offs, have been produced and continue to enjoy high popularity today.
