1 | ''Zeon Quest'' is a ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' [[AlternateUniverseFic re-imagining of the One Year War]] in the form of a ForumQuest, created and DM'ed by "I Apologized on 4chan" (Or Apologized for short) on the /tg/ board of Website/FourChan, much like its spiritual predecessor ''Roleplay/RubyQuest''. |
2 | |
3 | Most of the quest is centered around Zeon [[AcePilot Ace]] David Lister ([[Series/RedDwarf No relation to a certain smeghead]]) and his unit of equally skilled Zeonic pilots. Lister starts as a simple grunt in the Zeonic invasion of Earth, before rising to become a major figure in the war, changing many events in the UC timeline. |

8 | !!This Quest provides examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AceCustom: |
11 | ** Davids Nacht Zaku- an upgraded Act Zaku mounting a gouf custom heat rod in one arm, a small beam gun in the other and hidden blades in the feet, as well as additional armor and thrusters and a better power plant. The original '''EL MUERTO GIGANTE''' counts also. |
12 | ** Zolomon also has a number of customized units, mainly adding mounting points for twin heat hawks and other throwable weapons, culminating in the Gyan Eisvogel, a terrifying monstrosity with a pair of forearm mounted beam sabers, a Gundam hammer, and a whole rack of beam javelins. |
13 | %%* AcePilot: Pretty much every named character who flies a suit. |
14 | %%* ActionGirl: Jolyne, and also [[spoiler:Elaine]]. |
15 | * AlternateContinuity: The goal was to create one, and it finally happened when [[spoiler:Garma's death was prevented]]. |
16 | %%* AntiVillain: Most of the Federation. |
17 | * BadassNormal: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Bernard Wiseman]] has no Newtype powers, and he only uses a grunt unit. [[spoiler:He's come closer to killing Amuro than even Char has. Bernie has also managed to successfully hijack the Gundam Alex and finish off the Midnight Pixy Death Squad.]] |
18 | * BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Archimedes was a newtype whose spirit now inhabits the Solar Ray. |
19 | * BFG: Gundam Units 04 and 05, one focusing on a single {{Wave Motion Gun}}, the other choosing {{More Dakka}}. |
20 | %%* BigDamnHeroes: Ramba Ral seems to specialize in this. |
21 | %%** [[spoiler:"THIS IS NO RICK DOM BOY, NO RICK DOM!"]] |
22 | %%** [[spoiler:And later, "THIS IS NO GELGOOG BOY, NO GELGOOG!"]] |
23 | %%** Of course, [[spoiler:it happens twice in the finale.]] |
24 | %%*** [[spoiler:"Tell Boss I'm free now."]] |
25 | %%*** [[spoiler:"I have a going away present from my father to you, Gihren."]] |
26 | %%* BigScrewedUpFamily: "With all due respect sir, your brother's kind of a dick." |
27 | * BilingualBonus: |
28 | ** [[spoiler:Nachtmaren - Night Horses]] |
29 | ** Also, '''EL MUERTO GIGANTE!''' |
30 | %%* BittersweetEnding: On par for the course for anything related to UC Gundam. |
31 | * ClusterFBomb: David apparently is fond of this trope when drunk. |
32 | -->"FUCKING REVENGE YOU MOTHERFUCKER." |
33 | %%* ColonyDrop: The Christmas Special. [[spoiler:Also, Ghiren seems to be interested in the possibility of a second one...]] |
34 | %%* CoolShip: The Outer Heaven. |
35 | %%* CyberCyclops: Pretty much every Zeonic mech ever. |
36 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: Garma. Or more specifically, Garma's hair. |
37 | * TheFederation: The antagonists this time around, and the primary enemy [[spoiler:until Ghiren ruins everything.]] |
38 | %%* GlassCannon: The Death Wasp team specializes with these kinds of suits, and Zeon has Kampfers. |
39 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Lister almost has to do this to save Von Braun. Hovis later does the real thing to save Calvin.]] |
40 | %%* HumongousMecha: Gundam in general is the reason for this trope's existence. |
41 | * ImprobablePilotingSkills: Lister didn't know he had a targeting computer. He was kicking too much ass without it. |
42 | * ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Lister gives a speech quite like this after Hovis is killed.]] |
43 | %%* ItsRainingMen: The very first episode features this. |
44 | %%* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Ramirez]], the Black Tri-Stars, and Hovis. And now Zolomon.]] |
45 | * LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Wyatt, the One-Armed Bandit, more often then not fights his rival Lister mano-e-mano. |
46 | %%* MeleeATrois: [[spoiler: FUCKING GHIREN]] |
47 | * MindRape: Being a Newtype against the EXAM System is like being a Japanese schoolgirl in the octopus tank. |
48 | %%* MilitaryBrat: [[spoiler:Or in Lister's case, terrorism brat]] |
49 | %%* MidSeasonUpgrade: Lister goes through many of these, the main one being from the [[spoiler:Act-Zaku to the Nacht-Zaku.]] |
50 | %%* MultiArmedAndDangerous: The Gyan Eisvogel, or more accurately, the Gyan Skullfucker. |
51 | * NuclearOption: As much as the Antarctica Treaty prohibits it, this seems to be the Nachtmaren unofficial answer to everything. [[spoiler:GODDAMMIT GHIREN WHO WOULD EVEN GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THESE THINGS IN THE FIRST PLACE]] |
52 | %%* OffTheRails: This is the whole point of the quest, at least in terms of official UC Canon. |
53 | * OhCrap: Pretty much everyone's reaction to seeing a Gundam. Also, realizing that destroying half of Jaburo caused the Federation to begin mass production of Trojan Horses. |
54 | * PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:Elaine]]'s home colony did not allow women to enlist in the army, so she dons a fake mustache(of dubious quality) and enlists as a man. Although she managed to have her identity go unquestioned through sheer luck, when being interviewed for recruitment by Natcherman, David saw through it immediately. |
55 | * PuttingOnTheReich: Ghiren and anyone remotely associated with him. Apologized seems to treat the rest of Zeon more like WWI Germany. |
56 | %%* RealRobot: Obviously, given the source material. |
57 | * RedBaron: In addition to the well-known Red Comet and White Devil, we have '''EL MUERTO GIGANTE''', and the One-Armed Bandit. |
58 | %%* SensorSuspense: Apologized loves doing these to make everyone crap themselves. |
59 | * SuperPrototype: |
60 | %% The Act-Zaku could be considered one. |
61 | ** Lister also tests a number of different high-end prototypes, although some of these are less powerful than their mass-produced versions. |
62 | * TankGoodness: Lister has killed so many tanks that it is physically impossible for Apologized to count them all. |
63 | * TheRival: Bandit. [[spoiler:The Midnight Pixy Death Squad was intended to be this to Nachtmaren, but failed miserably. [[FromBadToWorse Then they got the EXAM system...]]]] |
64 | * ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Throwing your axe always works. If you're Zolomon Ringo, that is. [[spoiler:Except when it doesn't.]] |
65 | %%* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Garma is the best example, but Bernie too]] |
66 | %%** [[spoiler:The Midnight Pixy Death Squad is a slightly less heroic example]] |
67 | %%* WarIsHell |
68 | * WarriorHeaven: |
69 | ** [[spoiler:Zolomon's fate after his death: to fight eternally alongside Super Robot greats. Implied to be Lister's eventual fate as well.]] |
