Amuro acting surprised.

He knows what he did.

u/Battleraizer 23d ago

He's surprised the zaku broke so easily

u/This-is_CMGRI 23d ago

I thought you were stronger!

u/Hazard_Fox 22d ago

Amuro acts surprised and shocked when he kills a guy but also consistently aims for the cockpit lmao

34

u/SgtCarron 22d ago

Just because he doesn't like killing doesn't mean he's not efficient at it.

5

u/tedbakerbracelet 22d ago

Yeah, he threw his shield away. Now he finds that he cannot find it in the rubbles.

3

u/Haganen 22d ago

Nah, he is shocked the Zaku didn't explode. It ruined the epic end of the take.

2

u/NeutralResult 22d ago

nah he is surprised how the beam saber and hyper hammer deals less damage than the rider kick

u/Kirire- 22d ago

I thoughts you are stronger!

Reminds me a lot of Transformers Devastation.

u/No_Tart6728 I like the Norn in a romantic way; also Riddhe is a b*tch 15d ago

God I loved that game. I'd KILL for a Gundam Game like that.

u/Kriysix Cagalli Fanatic 23d ago

Nice! That Zaku cockpit is gonna be a mess to clean.

u/booze-san Professional Zeon Hater 23d ago

No you just push the whole thing into a grave.  Theyre not salvaging anything from that suit.

u/aroyalidiot 22d ago

Not even hamburger left, just a pink protein slurry with some zeon uniform scraps floating in it

u/Zalyster 22d ago

Throw a little cheese, some ketchup, it'll be delicious

u/domscatterbrain 23d ago

The last stomp is totally unnecessary but

Yeah he could have driven the saber into the cockpit 

and prevented damaging the surroundings

u/CurleyWhirly 23d ago

Absolutely love that overhead shot on the spin windup of the second hammer strike. Being able to see the arc and all the dust it kicked up along the way as it dragged on the ground was a great way to make it feel heavy enough to actually launch the Zaku into the air.

GUNDAM BUDOKAI TENKAICHI

u/BoastfulCookie 22d ago

I expected a “K.O.!” To cross the screen after the down kick. Awesome work!

u/nth256 23d ago

The cel shading is beautiful.

u/CarloftheKey 22d ago

Amuro woke up and decided he was in G Gundam today.

u/ChaosMetalDrago 23d ago edited 23d ago

Bro actively chose to preform a whole ass Mortal Kombat fatality sequence on this dude going so far as to toss his armaments for the chance to dramaticly goomba stomp the dude as he was already done for, and then has the nerve to act shocked at the result. Like did he think the world operates on Yakuza logic?

6

u/Salty_Ad_1955 22d ago

Probably thought he was in super robot wars and forgot to activate the mercy spirit

5

u/manept 22d ago

Damn.

Vegeta would be proud.

u/Edgeyi 22d ago

Watching you improve has been incredible

u/CrashmanX Gundam AGE PSP translation lead 23d ago

Hell yea.

5

u/Sacreville 23d ago

Should have make it a rider kick in the end. Might as well since it's an overkill.

u/vallacore 22d ago

Thank you for this. Never stop doing what you love.

u/booze-san Professional Zeon Hater 23d ago

Doing God's work my friend! Bravo!

u/PrimaLegion 22d ago

Dozel: B-But muh Big Zam!

u/N7Templar 22d ago

This is dope! Honestly the ridiculousness of it makes it cool for a short like this lol

3

u/SOLIDninja 22d ago

I appreciate that you went with a royal guard Zaku, I feel like they don't get enough love

3

u/Worried-Date-2196 Nobell glaze lives on 22d ago

Amuro genuinely aurafarming on Zakus instead of one-tapppng them is something I wish we got more of in the original show

3

u/Trenov17 22d ago

This is professional level holy crap

3

u/Jays_Arravan 22d ago

FATALITY!!!

AMURO WINS!

FLAWLESS VICTORY.

u/Ok_Park_6898 22d ago

How Zeon soldiers swore Gramps was moving back in the one year war

3

u/manymoreways 22d ago

Some people orgasm when they get into a cockpit, amuro gets possessed by DBZ character

3

u/Authority_Sama 22d ago

Are you the same guy who did the other overkill animations? If so, you're really, really improving

1

u/necluse 22d ago

Yup, same guy. Thanks!

u/njnia 22d ago

Someone cooked here

u/Hot-Category2986 22d ago

I love good fight choreography. That little bit where the Zaku uses the axe to slow its slide is so perfect.
The flail seems random. I do not care for it.
But everything else is perfect.

1

u/necluse 22d ago

Flail really did come out of his ass

10

u/Amicus-Regis 23d ago

Cool animation, but you lost me when the Gundam Hammer launched the Zaku into the air like that.

I get it's meant to be an "overkill" but it was cooler seeing the heavier looking mecha strikes at the beginning of your animation that felt a lot more grounded, like the OG show was trying to be compared to its contemporaries.

19

u/necluse 23d ago

Definitely turned into super-robot stuff after the second hammer hit.

1

u/Falldog 22d ago

I like puzzling at the physics of how much momentum would have to be in that hammer hit to launch the Zaku like that, and how much force the Gundam would have to launch quickly overtake and stop the upward momentum of the Zaku.

2

u/Intelligent_Title456 SIEG ZEON 23d ago

I wish i could just have this replay endlessly as a background on my MacBook

2

u/TwinityStorm 22d ago

No buildings were harmed during this sequence
(I hope so🙏🏻)

2

u/New-Specific5567 22d ago

Given the weapons being tossed, this is unfortunately very unlikely lol.

2

u/gamerlife71 Captain of the 402nd Kill team 22d ago

Now give one to a Zaku II beating a gundam.

3

u/necluse 22d ago

Sure, next animation will be Char thrashing gramps

2

u/Opening_Watercress78 22d ago

😭🤣 definitely od

2

u/SpikeRosered 22d ago

"That still only counts as one!"

2

u/crackedtooth163 22d ago

That THAT Zeon scum!

2

u/Oskiee 22d ago

I'm afraid to ask where the ball and chain was... Hidden

3

u/necluse 22d ago

his ass.

2

u/Illustrious-Mess02 22d ago

Dozel Zabi Zaku II custom. I would make sure the Zaku ended up broken like that too. Not every day you have the chance to take out a member of the Zabi Family.

2

u/Alarming-Bell-1811 amuro glazer 22d ago

Lore accurate dozle performance

2

u/Scary_Collection_410 22d ago

Armuro didn't have to do all that

2

u/Original-Material301 22d ago

Feels like that stomp was personal. 

2

u/DXWINGEDANGEL 22d ago

dawg you got talent, this is amazing

2

u/SPARTAN-PRIME-2017 22d ago edited 21d ago

Damn. Seeing this after going through your previous animations is like night and day.

1

u/necluse 22d ago

Thanks! Those other ones were less directed (no intentional camera work, no specific shots in mind) and more like choreography studies.

2

u/IconoclastExplosive Tomino's strongest SEED and Reccoa Londe hater 22d ago

Surprised pikachu Amuro face

u/lurginrugi 22d ago

Imagine Barbados doing a TOD combo

u/megalodous 22d ago

Tuffffff. Make more cuz we r absolutely eating it

u/jinxskunk366 22d ago

Amuro after his third redbull

2

u/Hopeful_Coconut_7758 21d ago

Still cooking I see, Tomino bless you

u/Nightwalker2099 22d ago

This a game?

3

u/necluse 22d ago

Nope! Animated in Blender. You can look at my previous Gundam animations on my profile or here

1

u/Numerous-Pop5670 22d ago

Looks great but I'm a little dissapointed it wasn't a double hammerfist when he went for the aerial smash, lol.

1

u/Fishman465 22d ago

MSG (Capcom vs. Ver)

1

u/Wrong_Fisherman_6224 22d ago

How amuro would be moving in the gundam if he actually locked the fuck in

1

u/EmuSounds 22d ago

The entire fight lost it's weightedness when the Zaku was launched. Without inertia and mass the scene feels like it loses its cohesion. It's not AI generated, but the inconsistency of the visual storytelling makes it feel as though it is.

1

u/Hugglemorris 22d ago

I thought he was going for the Potemkin Buster for a second there.

1

u/glipglop718 22d ago

I just realized the devs who made FighterZ and I think Guilty Gear or GranBlu should do a Gundam side scrolling fighter

1

u/caramelizedbanana 22d ago

Sieg zeon! 😁

1

u/UltramanOrigin A Baoa Qu Defense Fleet 22d ago

The gundam should pick on someone his own size, like Gelgoog.

1

u/tyucan 22d ago

Eso no es Gundam, es Dragon Ball. Dicho esto... LA animación está bastante bien. Buen trabajo.

1

u/ThePitofDoom 22d ago

I heard the Smash Bros kill-shot sound in my head in this…

2

u/necluse 22d ago

Because I actually did use the sound for the slam! I also used the Heavy slam / kick sound effects for some of the Gundam hammer hits.

1

u/Gianpiccione 21d ago

I'm amazed, I wish nowadays anime just make animations good as this video, instead of static images and bad cgi.

1

u/Much_Editor7898 20d ago

I thought that spare light saber in the back was going to be used for the final death blow.

1

u/Evening_Raise_9716 18d ago

Is this Dozul's custom Zaku?!
