Gundam/Memes

""IT'S A GUNDAAAAAM!""

Gundam is a Long Runner, and with that it has spawned a lot of Internet memes.

Please add entries in the following format:
 * The meme.

Universal Century

 * Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam featured a letter from Kai Shiden, written in Gratuitous English, which read "Captain Quattro, he is A CHAR." The result is anyone who shares characteristics with the Red Comet will be referred to as "A CHAR".
 * Taken to its logical conclusion we get "Ratsel, he is an ORD" See here.
 * and adapted again by fans after seeing the first ep of Gundam Unicorn,
 * Considering how Gundam Wing's Zechs Merquise tries to cram every aspect of Char from every series he was in into a single-series character, he has been called "a Char fanboy" by some fans.
 * "Colonel Zechs, he is CHAR, and Relena, she is A SAYLA."
 * From Endless Waltz: Mariemaia Khushrenada, she is A MINEVA.
 * From Frozen Teardrop:
 * "Lacus Clyne, she is A RELENA."
 * "Alex Dino, he is AN ATHRUN."
 * And who discovered his identity? Chairman Durandal, who was voiced by Shuichi Ikeda (AKA Char/Quattro).
 * "Yurin L'Ciel, she is A TIFFA."
 * The Char Custom meme mutates three times faster than any other meme on this page.
 * Don't forget the "Zeta Punch" videos, which are Gag Dub versions of two specific Kamille scenes: the fight with two male Bridge Bunnies followed by some "Bright slapping", and then his fisticuff with Jerid Messa from the first episode. This troper especially enjoys the Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard and Ken Masters versions. Or the Streets Of Rage and Marvel vs. Capcom versions, and we cant forget the Smash Bros original... and the Team Fortress 2 version.
 * Yazan Gable would like you to know that he's going to violate you.
 * The process known as the Bright Slap, used for "slapping the fail out of" a Wangsty Humongous Mecha pilot, comes from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, wherein Bright Noa did just that to protagonist Amuro Ray. Mecha fans frequently express their desire to see this happen to whiny protagonists such as Kira Yamato or Shinji Ikari. Sadly, this is seldom employed in-show.
 * Except in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, where it happens all the time.
 * "You hit me! Even my father never hit me!"
 * and everyone else Bright slapped Amuro. EVEN HARRY ORD'S SUMO!
 * Shinji does get Bright-slapped in Super Robot Wars F and in SRW Alpha.
 * When he reappears in Alpha 3; he's 2 years older than when we last saw him, after the major Evangelion events. He's obviously grown a pair by simply fighting alongside the biggest badasses and hot-blooded Super Robot heroes ever. He DOES, however, yell at deliver a Bright Slap to Kira Yamato.
 * The Bright Slap turns losers into MEN OF DESTINY.
 * Now with Chang Wufei, Shinn Asuka and even DW getting Bright Slapped!
 * On yet another Gundam-related note, Acguy is love.
 * Does anyone even know how that one got started? Never did make any damn sense to me...
 * no idea, though it might be related to the fact that the Acguy is insufferably cute looking for a giant machne of death
 * Big head, stumpy limbs, plumb body. Indeed, that fit the quality of cuteness in Disney's book, like baby and hippo.
 * This has more or less achieved Ascended Meme status as of Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, where one of the main characters pilots a "Beargguy", an Acguy with a teddy bear-like head. Before you dismiss it as a simple coincidence, Beargguy is the only main mech on the show that isn't a Zaku or a Gundam.
 * In Japan, Beargguy is subject to a meme all its own: depicting him as Kuma, the 2chan equivalent of Pedobear.
 * Not to mention there is the original, "This is no Zaku, boy! No Zaku!"
 * In Gundam SEED Destiny, Heine, piloting the GOUF Ignited, yelled at Stellar, "This is no ZAKU, pal. NO ZAKU!!"
 * Recently adapted to "No Flag boy! No Flag!"
 * Once the Big Zam is mass produced...
 * "Ahmuro! I orda you to launch Gundamn!" British!Bright from the movie dub is great for memes.
 * I'm the enemy you idiot!
 * GATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
 * SOLOMON!! I. HAVE. RETURNED!!!!
 * You can't list every meme All The Tropes, not while your soul is still held down by gravity.
 * Kamille Bidan is SICK OF ADULTS AND THEIR LIES!
 * KAMILLE'S A MAN'S NAME! AND I'M A MAN!!
 * (PUNCH!)
 * ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH, KAMILLE!? (clip here.)
 * I'M FORTY!
 * And then there's GTFO Zaku
 * Norris Packard's "THATS RIGHT, COWER! BE AFRAID!" speech often gets put under a screen cap of a mobile suit pilot (or any gundam character) with an Oh Crap face, though the end of the speach is modified somewhat to fit the situation.
 * Shame that bit ended with a Senseless Sacrifice thanks in part to Space AIDS.
 * If you ever show a picture of Micott Bartsch in a normal suit around /m/ it usually goes with the mentioning of DAT Hair
 * WE'RE JUMPING ONTO WHITE BASE!
 * AAAAAAAH!
 * LALAH!
 * NOOOO!
 * DON'T STOP!
 * Char Aznable likes little girls.
 * An Ascended Meme in Char's Counterattack, where The Dragon mentions that everyone thinks Char is into young girls.
 * One of Char's greatest crowning moments can be summed up with these two words: BOOM! Headshot.
 * Behold! The Xbox Drop! It's leik OMGLOLHUEG!!!1
 * Gundam + Jessi Slaughter = "You dun Goufed!"
 * Tobia Arronax is what happens when Chuck Norris is given a Gundam.
 * This Nu Gundam isn't just for show!
 * This was changed in the English dub to "You're underestimating Nu Gundam!"
 * AZTEC SPACE NINJAS!
 * Gundam ZZ is not an anime! Take this to be true!
 * "Anime ja nai! Anime ja nai~!"

G Gundam

 * This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! SHINING FINGER!
 * This hand of mine is burning red! Its loud roar tells me to grasp victory! ERUPTING! BURNING! FINGER! And now... HEAT END! *kaboom*
 * Take this! My love! My anger! And all my sorrow! SHINING FINGER SWOOOOOORD!
 * This meme has obtained powers of the Dark Gundam... with the help of KYOOOOJIIIIIIIIII!!!
 * COME ON, DOMON! WHY DON'T YOU USE YOUR SOUPER MODE?
 * I will become SUPER ASIA and be champion of all!
 * SKEET! SKEET! SSKKEEEEEETTT!!!!!!!!!
 * Ahem... the man has a Daughter?!
 * Which begs the question? Whom is the badass mother?
 * Rain?
 * YOU DON'T KNOW ME?!?!? I am Master Asia, THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST!!!
 * You thought I was defeated? Yet here I stand in front of you!
 * ANSWER ME DOMON!! THE SCHOOL OF THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST!!!
 * THE WINDS OF THE KING!
 * ZENSHIN!
 * KEIRETSU!
 * TEMPA KYOURAN!
 * LOOK! THE EAST IS BURNING RED!
 * Sub version.
 * Who needs Gundams when you can KICK BUILDINGS 50 FEET INTO THE AIR?
 * When someone faces off against a Humongous Mecha on foot AND WINS, he or she is said to be channeling the Undefeated of the East.
 * Zero is Master Asia!
 * Solid Snake is Master Asia! Which may explain that moustache he grew in the fourth game...
 * Solid Snake is Master Asia huh?
 * Even the horse gets a Gundam! (Its name is Fuunsaiki, by the way.)
 * The sheer audacity of the National Stereotypes in G Gundam has hit memetic levels.
 * Burger King is not amused.

Gundam Wing

 * "HEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Come back and kill meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!"
 * "Relena... I'm going to kill you."
 * "No. No machine-gun for him. Shoot him down!" from the dub's first episode. Followed immediately by the pilot trying to shoot Heero down with a machine-gun. The original Japanese dialogue was more along the lines of "There's no point firing a warning shot. Shoot him down."
 * FOOOOOOOOOLS!
 * THERE'S A GUNDAM DOWN HERE!!
 * The Gundam Heavy Arms is purple.
 * Purple Heavyarms, the rarest of Shiny Pokémon!
 * Heero self-destructing his Gundam, making him An Heero.
 * turned into a spirit command in Super Robot Wars D

Gundam X

 * "Tiffa! I believe in God!"
 * When a man strays from the right path, a kind man needs the courage to raise his fist and correct him.
 * "I am selling this Gundam!" The question is: is that Garrod, or Bandai?
 * Unfortunately Enil El can't do much more than this.
 * But it's more than enough

 * Who cares if Laura is a guy, I'd still hit it.
 * Nanana nananana nanana CENTURY COLORS!

Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny

 * And the Lord said, "Fuck off, Shinn. I'M the main character now."
 * Mu La Flaga is not a fortress, thus
 * Because HE CAN MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE!
 * I know we're supposed to be done listing Gundam memes... but at this moment, Cagalli is crying her heart out!

 * MarieMarieMarieMarieMarieMarieMarie...
 * ALLELUIAH!
 * MARIE!
 * Zetsubou-sensei is in Super Robot Wars!
 * Setsuna's odd "I am Gundam!" line.
 * Setsuna's odd "I am Gundam!" line.

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE

 * Card games in mobile suits! Source.
 * [[media:Gundam AGE-F 1392.png|Flit's hair]] makes him even more of a Gundam than Setsuna.
 * (munches on chocolate bar)
 * FurittoFurittoFurittoFuritto...
 * Madoka Titus
 * Homura Spallow
 * Desil is Nena's and Ali's child.
 * Left: Loveless Marriage. Right: Happy Family. Learn the difference, it can save your life.
 * See? Her hair is a bird. Your arguments are invalid.
 * Asem is better than a Newtype, he's a Supah Pairotto!
 * His being a pirate leader in Generation 3 has mutated this into: Asem Asuno, Supah Pirato!

Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury

 * Sulleta being portrayed as a tanuki, due to her tanned skin, eyebrows and headband. In turn Miorine is often depicted as a white fox. While the two were intentionally drawn to evoke animals, they were actually meant to be a dog and cat.
 * Writer Ichirō Ōkouchi acknowledged this by adding the emoji for raccoon to his Twitter handle.
 * Delling's "debate" on if Ariel is a Gundam in the second episode has repeatedly been turned into him being quizzed on if the various mobile suits in the series (and Setsuna) are a "Gundam". Used to poke fun at various mobiles either inexplicably not Gundams (like the title suits of Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny, which aren't Gundams despite being modified RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Types), those that inexplicably are, and Future Century's odd designs.
 * The same scene's claims Aeriel is not a Gundam are frequently taken literally, or retorted with out of universe material (It says "Gundam" on the box for the Gunpla!).
 * Chuatury "Chuchu" Panlunch's hair (two giant balls of hair that somehow fit in her helmet) is frequently comedically shown as detachable and/or hiding things within in fanart. Often depicting it as Bits, or as an edible. Even the official Twitter account got in on this by having them decorated like a Christmas tree for a promotional illustration.
 * Chuchu's fight with two unnamed Girl Posse members who sabotaged her test in the fourth episode is depicted like a fight between men instead of a Cat Fight, starting with her knocking out one of the girls in a single punch that causes her to slump onto the steps with a brutal thud, before repeatedly hitting the other in the face hard enough to leave her with visible, non-comedic, bruises all over. This quickly caused redraws of her replacing characters in fist fights (many of which were already memed themselves) from previous Gundam series and suggestions the first girl is dead or crippled for life.
 * Chuchu's concept art includes her posing with a bat that has nails crudely driven into it. This became a Signature Device in fanart without appearing in the show proper.
 * Nika Nanaura's patient sufferance in the face of bullying by Spacian students resulted in jokes about her being a future school shooter (or otherwise mass murdering Spacian students) . This one is believed to have originated in Japanese translations of 4chan threads where the possibility was mentioned.
 * In Episode 6 Guel is very briefly seen in front of a tent in the woods after his father disowns him for his constant failure and kicks him out of the family dorm. This would very popular in fan art, including many where he winds up crossing over with Animal Crossing, and Yuru Camp. Even the character's voice actor Yohei Azakami would acknowledge the popularity of the scene.
 * Felsi Rollo and Renee Costa never meet, but fanart gives them a bitter rivalry due to Renee's loose resemblance to Felsi in appearance and personality, combined with Renee's first appearance corresponding with Felsi being absent for several episodes after.
 * When Guel runs away from his controlling father and works under the alias "Bob", art began depicting him as famous Bobs such as Bob Ross, Bob the Builder or (since his unnamed captain became known as "Patrick" due being voiced by Patrick Colasour's actor Kenji Hamada) SpongeBob SquarePants.
 * A particular "quality" shot from episode 11 was deemed "Crab Miorine". This particular shot would likely have gone without much attention, as the show had always resorted to low detail versions of characters for long shots, but the pose itself was deemed funny and it's immediately before a chase scene with very high quality animation.
 * The ending to the first cour features Sulletta, seeing a terrorist about to shoot Miorine, casually crushes the man with Aerial's hand splattering her wife-to-be with his blood. Fanart would make many a gag out of replacing the blood with tomatoes in a play off Miorine's affinity for them.

General/Miscellaneous

 * One more... when the Japanese Agriculture Ministry caught two of his employees editing That Other Wiki's Gundam page on company time, they issued the statement that Gundam does not fall under the purview of the Japanese Agriculture Ministry.
 * Can you say JAM Project?
 * The Japanese Agriculture Ministry is one person?
 * That has the potential to go meme all on its own.
 * Do you accept Gundam Jesus as your personal saviour?
 * Soul Bro's Men: Soul Bro Ryu of The Gundamn! podcast has a tendency to declare the biggest milquetoast of a show (Sai Argyle, Rivalz, Saji Crossroad) to be "his man". There was even an episode dedicated to it.
 * In a recent episode, Soul Bro was asked if there were any Soul Bro's Women. He replied that the qualifications were different for women - he only likes men wimpy. He likes his women to be Badass Action Girls, his favourite being Emma Sheen.
 * For Gundam AGE, Chris and Neo declared Dique to be Soul Bro's Man, over Soul Bro's objections.
 * Other Gundamn! memes include "Gundam 00 Season 2 sucked!" (not what they really believe, but mocking the trolls who claimed this), and "Gundam Unicorn does not exist." (Refusing to report on it while it was still an unconfirmed rumor, which trolls exaggerated into them claiming this)
 * "Zaku test" is derogatory slang for a pentester tutorial program that takes a very basic understanding to crack.
 * Wow... although it is the page quote, there is no actual mention of the "IT'S A GUNDAM!" down here.
 * A GUNDAM???
 * THE ENEMY IS A GUNDAM!
 * *BOOM*
 * Amusingly toyed with in one scene of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ said Gundam pops up on the screen of a Neo-Zeon battleship and while one mook is clearly freaking out..but he doesn't say the infamous line or a variant of it...yet in the end said battleship still ends up getting blown up.
 * Subverted quite amusingly in Gundam 00, with everyone from Mooks to major characters uttering the infamous phrase or variants of it, and usually surviving.
 * Never fall in love with a gundam pilot, it will only end in disappointment (or an early funeral).
 * Nanoha is a Gundam disguised as a Magical Girl!
 * The "Cardboard Box Gundam", which came from an extremely cheap (and bold) Cosplay. Not that memetic here, but Big in Japan.
 * Mutated further when 00 came out, in which after Setsuna's catchphrase, many a fan art appeared of him wearing a cardboard box over his regular attire, with the word 'gundam' scrawled on the front of the box.
 * A Chinese theme park's knockoff of the RX-78-2 is quickly gaining meme status after its "renovations." Lots of fan art started popping up not 24 hours after the remodeled version was revealed, and even mock CGI. Nobody's sure what to call it yet, names range from "Sina Gundam" to "China Gundam" to "Sichuan Gundam."
 * RISE... CHINING GUNDAM! *snaps fingers*
