The Lifetime of War (Universal Century AMV - Sabaton)
"It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century. A half-century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies. A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised. And die. 9 months ago, the cluster of colonies furthest from the Earth, called Side 3, proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation. Initial fighting lasted over one month and saw both sides lose half their respective populations. People were horrified by the indescribable atrocities that had been committed in the name of independence. Eight months had passed since the rebellion began. They were at a stalemate."

"As long as humanity exists: there will always be wars."
-Albert Einstein
War... War never changes...
Centuries of war indeed, another decade will continue to plague us, unfortunately
Soon it will all grow tired and finally kill us all
Religion and Greed. Humanity is limitless.
Just a reminder mobile suits were conceived as power armor and the toy companies that bankrolled the show forced a change to giant robots.
Not gunna lie I prefer it as giant robots, I think.
A good choice i cannot see it other than mechas
@@yolsil775 Yep and as far as giant robots go, my preferred size is average mobile suit size or gundam size, so, 15 to 17 meters tall. Standard Size Armored Cores are acceptable too, at 10 to 12 meters.
That explains a lot
@@zeehero7280 That sounds about right. Evangelions are just TOO big. Gurren Lagann works too, just because it literally runs on awesome.
"Humans are the strangest animal on this planet. Yes they fight wars over territories, food, potential mates, and most basic tenets of life. But they also fight wars for no reason. They fight because someone told them that the the other is evil, not pure, not right. They kill each other over petty squabbles of whose god is the most righteous or whose god is the one true god. Sometimes they just fight because they don't have any other reason but fight. As long as humanity exists there will always be wars. Till the day this beautiful world becomes lifeless and we take our wars to beyond the stars."
man, can you imagine like 80% of humanity is wiped out between 0079-0105
Just because Zeeks keep fighting a war they lost in 0079, for another 30 years to appease their endless butt-hurt, through more colony drops, which has led to more political instability in the federation and the justification of atrocities like the Titans and other radical groups , both in the terrestrial sphere and in the colonies, in response, in an endless cycle.
and that was on Both Sides. Zeon and the Federation just battered each other to near extinction.
I think around half of that
@@yusrisaadun5497 at the beginning of 0079 its stated that there are around 11 billion people, half of which live in space, during one week war 3 billion died, the colony drop, another 2.3 billion, after antarctic treaty, until end of OYW only a a couple hundred million from sides. that was about 50% just during the one year war, not to mention the obliteration of the EFSF fleet during the naval review AND a colony drop (0083), another colony drop in 0088 (ZZ), and 0093 (CCA) each, the initial death tolls in the hundreds of millions, but billions due to the after effects of each drop, by 0105 earth seems kinda sparse, and not many colonies left in space
yeah the federation and zeon both commited warcrimes .i guess they really didnt like eachother
At it's core Gundam has always been anti war. This AMV beautifully captures that. Tobe Gundam, Rock on Sabaton.
"Religion and greed cause millions to bleed" No truer words have ever been spoken.
god, that zaku ordering the strike on the cruisers was perfectly meshed with the music 10/10

"DESTROY THAT STUPID WARSHIP." "SIEG ZEON!"
MS IGLOO really puts the grunts on the front of the stage and I love it
The UC never really could catch a break, its kind of sad for the people living in that universe. They have seen more devastation and suffering than we in the real world till now could dish out upon ourself, they almost glassed their own damn planet on multiple ocassions.
true people in the UC era were never safe even if they lived on earth or in space
"Wars will always remain while human nature remains. I believe in my soul in cooperation, in arbitration; but the soldier's occupation we cannot say is gone until human nature is gone." -Rutherford Hayes
Human nature don't exist, but humans and the society Who are plasmade.
War is to be minimized, anyone who thinks it can be eliminated entirely is dangerous and allowing them power can lead only to tragedy.
There are no winners in war, only survivors. Well done making this!
"And so, from the first moment they understood how to, humanity fought. And they never truly stopped."
Recently watch Iron blooded orphans, couldn't decide what to watch next. This convinced me to watch them all.
All of them are good but Universal Century has the most meat.
The only correct answer to the question of "which Gundam series should I watch first" is "Yes" I started on IBO, and it's still my personal favorite, but hot damn is the UC good.
My favorites from UC: the 08th ms, igloo the first, war in the pocket 👍
my friend calls IBO "Gundam Berserk"
War will never entirely die, it will evolve, it will change. And war will return, sooner than we think.
Nah war never changes. (Fallout intensifies) Not fundamentally anyway.
@@zeehero7280 Correct, the means will change, the weapons will go up in quality. War ITSELF will never change: No matter the reason, it always ends bloody, sorrowful. It ALWAYS has survivors, not winners.
Really sad thing is that while U.C. Most displays it this is really every Gundam story.
except at least some of the other gundam stories at least have a hope spot that shows hey its gonna get better but uc naaaa its just fucked
Love this video. I've always leaned more towards zeon over federation not on a dictator level more on the struggles colony humans had to endure and the fight for freedom in a solar system ruled by crooked powers of varying levels vying for control but ultimately it's the little guys that always paid the price civilians and soldiers. Be it in war or after it was over the ptsd etc the struggles to cope with the horrors of such death on grand scale. Gundam as a franchise opens a picture into not just the political machinations of those in power but the struggles of victims on both sides of war. A very solid thought provoking franchise which is why it withstands the test of time to this day
yeah, in UC seemed the colonies got dicked around by the Fed, I could totally see the want to fight for Zeon ( Spacenoid freedoms), and if you lived on earth, those bastards dropped a colony on your home. Both sides had heroes & villains
Yes both sides have heroes and monsters, and i still cry for the war in the pocket, no Bernie 😭
Zeon was legit sympathetic until space hitler took over. was all downhill from there.
@zeehero7280 nah the country as a whole was made up of citizens and soldiers....space Hitler just wanted conquest and goaded the masses into thinking that's what they needed. In reality independence was right there....he just got greedy... Same as real Hitler.... But with all the other gundam universal century anime no matter the back n forths the federation could be just as bad....
Zeon started as a sympathetic movement. but then Zeon Zum Deikun died- (probably assassinated) and the Zabis took over, at which point it was still a fairly enlightened autarchy. But then... Spacehitler!
I can just imagine this is what Mafty pilots listen to as they get ready to fight. SEIG MAFTY
Very fitting for the universal century.
Why hasn’t this got more views
I have been thinking about it for so long
Share it
MS Igloo is such an underrated Gundam series
The one year war didn't show who was right... only who was left.
The Universal Century is the Darkest Era of Mankind i hope this does not happen to our future, since Space Colonies are now being Studied and Developed....
You forget the level of petty and hatred humanity has. The political pessimists are closer to the money than you would think...
This was done so well, a tear was brought to my eye.
It brought a tear to my eye as well...mostly because I rubbed my eye and it had hot sauce residue on it. I regret this error in judgement.
@@DrForrester87 🌶️👋🤦😢 ouch
The only thing humanity learn through history is that we learn NOTHING
Pretty much
This is amazing. The editing is great and use of UC anime, AOV, anime is amazing please I want to see more of this kind of shit
This is... incredibly fitting, and well put-together. Great job.
Sad part is, the Universal Century is doomed to this fate. You know Gundam Unicorn? It provided some hope, but in the end, Banagher, Mineva, everyone in the Laplace faction ultimately died without ever seeing that world they fought for coming to pass, and all their efforts being for naught in the end. And if Gaia Gear is to be taken as canon, even two hundred years into the Universal Century, the only ones who have found peace are the dead. And at the very end of it all, even after the end of U.C., there will *still* be no peace. Turn A confirms this.
Considering that several other timelines outside of the UC fall on the timeline of Turn A, yeah that especially rings true.
An ever-burning curse that is most unfortunate
damn that bleak as hell
It's realistic. History never ends. There's always another crisis.
"Welcome to the Universal Century! Everything's fucked!"
2:49 The RGM GM Pilot Is An Ace Pilot
Deserves more views for such a amazing video
I was thinking of making something like this with this song, looks like you beat me to the punch. Excellent work and great editing
Do you think you could do one with the end of the war to end all wars?
Holly shit.... wow just wow
No matter what you say if you really think about it the one year war is the Afghanistan of Gundam for the simple reason that the Federation can't capture all zeon prisoners in space and when the Federation went through its little Titan phrase it didn't help
This was beautiful it shows the truth war is hell .
This is such a perfectly edited and themed video for this song.
So good!
Excellent job im a Big GUNDUM fan this is awesome well done
GUNDUMB would be a hillarious spoof 🤣
Its a shame, Unicorn really gave humanity the answer, hope for a new tomorrow, but we snuffed that hope, have we really gone insane with war?
War is an invitation of defeat. When usa left iraq and Afghanistan they betrayed the people.
Has man gone insane?
A few will remain...
This is underrated af
The most accurate amv I've ever seen, and also the hardest amv i have ever seen
don't.feel the defeat to the end Make it to keep the glory by every sort of beginning .ghiren zabi #SIEG.ZEON!!
Great video! When I first heard this song, I had an idea to do something similar, but with Battletech.
Master Piece of AMV. The Real Gundam is UC always. The other AUs go from good to bad in some cases. Although I never consider Turn A Gundam the future of all universes. It's just another excellent AU and that's it.
Yeah Turn A is... questionable at best. and the secret weapon of the Turn A is the most counter productive crap I've ever heard of. Technology has always saved more lives than it killed. Even when you factor in a few colony drops.
Masterfully put together. Zeek zeon!
I understand but I think in every UC series showing that both sides aren't any better. Like Gihren Zabi straight up killing the whole populace and while Feddies are corrupts that even the famous higher up like General Revil call them out in his speech, Zeon Is Exhausted.
@@phankhaihamon2342 no I agree. At the end of the day both sides are assholes willing to do anything to further there own goals at the cost of everything. Also both there political models are flawed but... Well that's humanity for you.i just like zeon meck design more and there uniforms can be cooler.
Sieg Zeon friend. *Raised a Glass*
@@graywolfalphaone I don't know why, but ever since I played Gundam Battle Assault on my PS1, the Hy-Gogg has been my favorite MS design by far. Really wish it saw more love in Gundam media.
@@TheLegend-ff8ty Zaku mark 1 and 3 are amazing to look at. Also the Dom is sublime. When i think Hy-Gogg i think serial killer of the mech family ^^
I never watched Gundam, but this is awesome. It's epic, and capturing tragedy of war.
The history of humanity could also be called the history of war. Opening of Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Do correct me if I got it wrong.
По-настоящему война не нужна никому, но многим нужна ненависть.
This dawned on me after a few times watching this First of course this is a amazing video But secondly: if you were piloting a Zaku II by the time the Jeagans and similar suits were being deployed wouldn’t it be better to engage in melee with thim instead of having a shoot out? (If you could get close enough obviously)
I doubt it will made any difference. Although Jaegan is a light armored MS, it is still a 0090 model and it should have a much better armor than mere Zaku or any GM in OYW, I doubt that Zaku's Heat Hawk can cut through the armor before Jaegan's beam saber has pierce through Zaku's cockpit.
@@williaml.willowfield2220 The armor isn't really the issue, a Jegan is just plain faster. "long" range is actually better if you're using a Zaku Bazooka or Sturm Faust.
A Jegan is around equal to the OG RX-78 in terms of raw stats, and Zaku IIs were slaughtered like lame pigs by the Gundam. You do the math.
Some say "Gundam is Anti-War" but i feel that description is a disservice. Anti-War always seems to come from those who are cowardly, ironically willing to sacrifice others for their ideals, and who speak from a position of ignorance. Gundam is a exposay on the nature of war and man. It does not cowar away from the dark truths and from the horror (at least to the extent the studio will allow) and thus it hits those hard truths harder than any shallow anti-war message ever will. Because only those who had once been lost in the dark can appreciate the light for all it's worth.
In my opinion, Gundam has always treated war as a necessary evil. Yes, it's horrible. Yes, it would be better if one did not have to fight at all - but at the end of the day, that in and of itself may not be feasible. When it comes down to it, even the most staunch pacifists in the entire series have a very clear understanding that there will always be a time when they must climb back into the cockpit and go into battle to protect those they love.
But it also shows the good aspects of man. The Zeon scout pilots who turned back to check on refugees who disembarked the White Base, and genuinely were concerned for them, the refugee mother who bandaged up the injured pilots after they were shot down, and so forth.
Gundam is anti war in an honest and non head-up-the-ass way. a realistic look at how war sucks, while mostly acknowledging that its never going to fully go away.
@@zeehero7280 that good half of man is part of why I can't agree with lumping it in with the "anti-war" crowd, those people spit on and actively endanger soldiers who return from war, and have done so for hundreds of years, with my earliest specific story being of a Crucader who became a Monk, and the head of his monetary deliberately putting him on a road full of murderous bandits who had previously murdered a visitor to said monetary, just so the former Crucader would be killed because the head of the monetary couldn't stand the thought of allowing a "murderer" to stay among his brothers. Association with those who are "anti-war" always means you end up getting used either to the point of your own death, or to put us all on a path towards worse violence and eventual war.
the song of a conflict that went on for way to long

No One Wins
Man can't rule for themselves
Dude that was a Lot of deads, and it was just the one year war, imagine if like the song Say was a three decades war, no humans Will remain un UC 😮
Not only Religion but also Ideology.
any ideology taken too far becomes the same thing.
@@zeehero7280 Your right on that.
I love this video so much I only have one small question. Why is there no Mafty or is that not technically U.C.
Mafty is technically part of UC. And btw, this was made before Hathaway's Flash was released on 2021.
Beautiful I love these guys I first looked into them because of powerwulf but they are so much better in my opinion
How about a version of this video, but the Swedish version?
👍
SIEG.ZEOOOONNN!
SIEG ZEON
Can humanity ever escape conflict?
Yes we just have to kill everyone who will start it See the problem?
Never. You can have peace, but don't think of having the myth called "eternal peace."
nope
No, nor should it try. when something is impossible to get rid of entirely, it must be dealt with by minimizing it, trying to do the impossible and eliminate something which cannot be will only ever lead to tragedy.
Lee㊙️
2:41 Min. What gundam movie/series was that?
Probably saviors
MS IGLOO.
U.C.0079 - U.C.0123
U.C.0153*, because Victory.
Drop the colony.
So the timeline that actually reached peace is the After Colony timeline?
No. There will always be a wannabe zeon who will put their greed and thirst for domination above the feeling of peace. Just wait. The dammed evil spirit of Zeon will ever return.
Different universe
The dark history of Turn A Gundam links the universal century with after colony, after war, and g gundam as humanity never learned its lesson and newtypes left the earthsphere altogether. But given that turn x was developed by these humans that left the solar system and lead to another war resulting in the turn a and x destroying all technology to do it all over again, the gundam franchise never gets a happy ending.

Damn that song hits hard considering what is happening in Ukraine. Still it's amazing one. And I am with you on that one Gundam GP
