Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, known in Japan as New Mobile Report Gundam W1 (also known as 新機動戦記ガンダムW shin kidō senki gandamu uingu in Japanese), is a televised anime series, which ran for forty-nine episodes beginning in 1995. Initially directed by Masashi Ikeda and written by Katsuyuki Sumizawa (Ronin Warriors), the series was loosely based on the original 1979 Gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam, created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hajime Yatate.

Heero Yuy[edit]

  • Then I'll give you just one piece of advice... it hurts like hell.
  • If the whole world has gone crazy, then I'll believe in myself and keep on fighting. Quatre... I will kill you.
  • The people who try to kill me, and the people who fight against me, are my enemies.
    • Talking to himself, Episode 26: The Eternal Flame of the Shooting Stars

'

  • I will...I will... I will survive!
    • Episode 49: The Final Victor
  • I'm not a pacifist.
  • [To Trowa] I said this before. The only way to live a good life is to act on your emotions.
  • Mission Accepted. (JPN: ninmu ryoukai 任務 了解)
    • Said numerous times over the course of the series
  • Mission Complete. (JPN: ninmu kanryou 任務 完了)
    • Said numerous times over the course of the series
  • How many more times must I kill that girl and her dog? Zero will not tell me anything. Tell me, Wufei!

  • Heero's speech to his classmates at his new school in the colonies
    • Episode 18: Tallgeese Destroyed
Earth, the planet in the solar system that miraculously gave birth to life. In the year After Colony 195, with the development of the colonies people now live in new surroundings, thanks to plentiful natural resources and cultivated technological abilities. However, this new world is nothing but an imitation of humankind's motherland the Earth. But why were the colonies made in the first place? I hear the main purpose was technological development to improve the lives of human kind on Earth. Did human kind start asking too much from this imitation world? The self-sustained way of life is more stable than life on Earth especially since it lacks the risk of natural disasters.
It appeared that this unlimited growth was guaranteeing the eternal existence of human kind. Perhaps there was an age where people dreamed of the possibilities in the outer space, where they could start from scratch. However, it's unthinkable that the colonies or that humankind will ever forget the Earth.
What did technological development in the colonies bring to the Earth? The kind of technology the Earth wants most: military power. Destruction is part of human nature that can never be gotten rid of, and now the colonies are developing a militaristic disposition. The colonies cannot forget the Earth.
The Earth has great beauty. The animals known as humans have acquired such strength that they even think about controlling this planet for themselves. From the point of view of a planet's life, the life of a living thing lasts no more than an instant. But in the end, it is only themselves that humans can think of. Nothing changes. The time spent by humans in outer space has been a complete waste. The ideal is just a dream.
This false pacifism. This false living space. Outer space is nothing but a breeding ground for even more battles in the future. Wars throughout history have claimed many lives. Although human kind has never been able to forget the sorrow that has been caused by the wars, they have not stopped fighting. The blood and tears they shed in battle are merely ceremonial. One can't speak of history without referring to the wars in each era as important events. I'm sure the pale pep talks of fighting for peace have been repeated numerous times in the past. The colonies say they need armaments to maintain peace. It's no different from on Earth. The colonies think they have joined the big boys. I guess they believe that the bloodshed would lead to higher morale [to further unite the colonies.]
So why do people fight anyway? Perhaps the meaning of human existence lies within their will to fight. People feel a sense of accomplishment through battle. And it's also a fact that the ones who are actually fighting are never perceived as being tainted.

Zechs Merquise[edit]

  • Space calls out to humans. And the earth tries to pull us back down, saying that what we are doing is wrong...
    • Episode 19: Assault on Barge
  • Zechs Merquise is dead.
    • Episode 19: Assault on Barge

  • Farewell, Tallgeese.
    • Episode 34: And Its Name is Epyon
  • These pilots never perceive anything as being inevitable or predestined. That's what makes them professionals in combat. Like me, Zechs Merquise.
    • Episode 48: Takeoff into Confusion
  • Certain conditions must be met for total peace. First, all weapons must be eliminated. And second... the desire to fight must be erased from people's minds!
    • Episode 49: The Final Victor
  • My destiny is smeared with blood, and I won't be talked out of this transgression! I'm gonna settle this, Heero!
    • Episode 49: The Final Victor
  • Just watch me, I am going to live...right till the bitter end! I will live the hard life of a warrior!

  • Heero, I won't permit you to die until you have killed me.
    • Episode 34: And Its Name is Epyon
  • Then let me ask you: who is your enemy?
    • Episode 34: And Its Name is Epyon
  • In that case, your battles will never end...since your enemy is destiny itself.
    • Episode 34: And Its Name is Epyon
  • There is nothing more beautiful than a warrior with no distractions. One could say he is the closest thing to God.
    • Episode 34: And Its Name is Epyon

  • When wars are dehumanized both victory and defeat become miserable, and God no longer lends a helping hand.

  • I would never kill the one person who understood me.
    • This is said several times throughout the series, lastly to Wufei.
  • I'll go where ever my mind takes me.
  • With a fancy gun that has long forgotten the meaning of battle, I would feel no emotion, even if I were to shoot an enemy right through the heart.
  • From a historical point of view, warriors who have lost what they were protecting, and further betrayed by those they were protecting, are losers.

  • Oh man, Quatre loves to blame himself for everything if you let him. Sooner or later, he'll start saying that it's because of his lack of effort that there's no air in space.
  • "Let's only take the weapons, and war itself, along with us to hell!"
  • Stop making me repeat myself. It's bad for my health!
