History

In order to protect them, the Ral family later sent them to live on Earth under the names Edward and Sayla Mass.

For the Shining Force II character called Zeon see Shining Force II For the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! character called Zeon see He quickly made himself known as a great tactician, and a master of guerilla warfare. Ramba Ral first made a name for himself as an ace pilot in the Zeon mobile suit forces during the Battle of Loum where his impressive combat abilities and blue Zaku I earned him the nickname Blue Giant (青き巨星 Aoki Kyosei?). The is a fictional conflict from the Universal Century timeline of the Anime Gundam metaseries In the Anime and Manga Mobile Suit Gundam universe the MS-05 Zaku I was the first successful Mobile suit design to be developed by Ramba Ral is also sometimes referred to as the "Great Blue Star" or the "Blue Nova".

Traveling in a Gallop-class land battleship, Ramba Ral continues to harass the White Base as it jouneys across the vast deserts of Central Asia. During the second attack on the White Base, Ramba Ral's wingmate Akos is killed, and Cozun is captured when his Zaku II is disabled and taken back on board the White Base by Amuro Ray piloting the Guncannon.

However, Cozun is killed before he can safely escape and Ramba Ral's Gouf is disabled by the Gundam, forcing Ramba Ral to retreat.

Not soon afterwards Ramba Ral meets Amuro Ray again (but did not recognise Amuro), who had deserted the White Base with the Gundam after dispute with the captain Bright Noa, and Fraw Bow (who came to drag Amuro back) in a small cafe in the desert town of Sodon. is a character from the Anime series Gundam. In the anime he is only mentioned as Earth-born also known as, is a key character from the Universal Century (UC Gundam universe first appearing in the groundbreaking 43-episode 1979 Anime series. After recognizing Fraw Bow as a Federation soldier, Ramba Ral decides to release her and assigns his men to follow her back to the White Base.

Amuro attacks Ramba Ral's Gouf and the two slash each others cockpits open, the two of them realizing that they had just met each other in the cafe. Amuro is able to destroy the Gouf, but Ramba Ral is able to escape by leaping out of the gash in the cockpit hatch and swinging out of the way of the explosion on a grappling hook he had attached to the Gundam's arm.

Following his defeat Ramba Ral is contacted by Dozle Zabi and told to contact M'Quve to receive support. In the fictional Mobile Suit Gundam series is the second oldest son of Degwin Sodo Zabi and the Principality of Zeon's Space Attack Force Commander is a fictional character appearing in Mobile Suit Gundam 's Universal Century (U However M'Quve refuses to supply Ramba Ral with the new Dom mobile suits he was instructed to give him.

Character appraisal

Ramba Ral was an excellent example of how tragic war could be, as well as how infighting among Zeon factions proved to be an even more crippling handicap than the Gundam's superior fighting ability. Had M'Quve handed the new Doms to him, there is a good chance Ral could've put up a great fight against the White Base and the Gundam. This is evidenced by the damage Ral was able to inflict on the Gundam, despite the Gouf being inferior to it.

Ral was essentially a soldier who did his job, even though he knew his chances of surviving, let alone succeeding, were next to none. Sayla's memories of him were apparently happy ones, and his death hit both her and Amuro hard.

His attitude is almost reminisceint of the German World War II commander Erwin Rommel, since he used tactics that were similarly used by the "Desert Fox". Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel ( ( 15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) (also known as the " Desert Fox " Wüstenfuchs

Ramba Ral in Other Media

In the strategy game Gihren's Greed, if playing on the Zeon side players have the option to overrule M'Quve and send Ral the new Doms. Gihren no Yabou ( Gihren's Ambition) commonly known as Gihren's Greed, is a Turn-based strategy game based on Mobile Suit Gundam, developed and published In the Playstation 2 version of Gihren's Greed, Ral succeeds with the help of the Doms and captures not only the White Base, but the Guncannon and Guntank as well. The RX-75 Guntank is a Fictional weapon from the Mecha Anime Mobile Suit Gundam. However, the Gundam still manages to escape. In other versions of Gihren's Greed, should Ral be killed in action the Zeon forces have the option to hold a state funeral for him, similar to the one held for Garma Zabi.

On the other hand, in the PS1/Sega Saturn version of this same game, should Ramba Ral survive the war, he will ultimately defect to Char Aznable's Neo Zeon, along with his crew, given his family's relations to Zeon Deikun. is a Fictional character from the Gundam franchise He is originally one of the main Antagonists in Mobile Suit Gundam and later becomes one of the

Ral's famous line "This is no Zaku, boy! No Zaku!" can also be heard in the game. In addition, should he survive his battles with the Gundam, Ral can be given a Dom, a Gelgoog and a Gyan, all painted in his trademark blue.

When piloting a Gouf: "This is not a Zaku! Not a Zaku!"

When piloting his customised Dom: "This is not a Gouf! Not a Gouf!"

When piloting either his customised Gelgoog/Gyan: "This is not a Dom! Not a Dom!"

This line can also be heard in Gundam Seed Destiny when Heine is fighting Stella with his Gouf.

On another note, if Ral and Char encounter each other on the battlefield, Ral seems to have no trouble recognising him as Casval Rem Deikun, the child his father rescued. Char asks him to keep this secret to himself, to which the old soldier dutifully agrees. Uncharacteristically, Char apologises for asking (he often uses fairly insulting language when dealing with others, but is noticeably polite with Ral).


In Yoshiyuki Tomino's Gundam Trilogy novels, Ramba's character is radically different. is a Japanese Anime creator director screenwriter and novelist Instead of being a mobile suit pilot he works as a secret service agent under Zeon dictator Gihren Zabi. This article is about the form of gov policing For other meanings see Secret Service (disambiguation. is a fictional character and Antagonist from the universe of the Gundam anime series His feelings toward Char are also much more ambivalent & it is hinted at that he resented his father for paying so much attention to another man's children. Perhaps the most radical departure from his portrayal in the anime, however is the fact that he apparently survives past the conclusion of the series.


Much like fellow Zeon ace Char, Ramba has become a sort of character archetype in Gundam & giant robot anime in general - the "friendly villain" that would easily be a friend of the protagonist if they weren't destined to fight on opposite sides of a war. His influence can be seen in similar Gundam characters Gentle Chapman of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Andrew Waltfeld of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, and Heine Westenfluss of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Gentle Chapman is a fictional character from the Anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam. is a Japanese animated Television series directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa ( Giant Robo, Getter Robo Armageddon is a Fictional character in the Cosmic Era (CE timeline of the Gundam Anime Metaseries. shortened to Gundam SEED, is an Anime television series and a Manga series by Sunrise. is a fictional character from the Anime series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. is the second Anime television series set in the Cosmic Era universe of Gundam by Sunrise.
