Reader’s Question:
What is the shoulder width of a Gundam? I would also like to know the vertical length of the shoulder. I’m trying to calculate its density compared to a truck.
Gundam Dimensions and a Dash of Humor
You know, when I stumbled upon the question about the shoulder width of
a Gundam, it took me back to my childhood days in Osaka, where anime and manga were as common as sushi stands. The idea that Gundams are supposed to be ten times the height of an average person really blew my mind! I mean, if we’re talking about a person who is 180 cm tall, that makes the Gundam a towering 18 meters! Now, let’s get to the juicy bit—the shoulder width. According to the responses, it seems like the shoulder width is a bit over 5 meters. Can you imagine that? A shoulder width that could probably cover a small car! I can just picture a Gundam casually brushing past a truck and leaving it in the dust.
A Comedic Twist
This makes me think about how my love for comedy really intersects with these giant robots. I mean, can you imagine a Gundam trying to perform stand-up? “What’s the deal with all these enemy mobile suits? They never take a break! I’m just trying to enjoy my day without getting blasted to smithereens!” I’d pay good money to see that! I remember one time at a comedy club in California, I was sharing a laugh with friends about how life would be if Gundams existed in our world. Just think about it: your morning commute would involve dodging giant robots instead of traffic jams. Forget about road rage, I’d be more concerned about a Gundam accidentally stepping on my car!
Personal Reflections
As a father now, I often find myself trying to explain these concepts to my child, and it’s always a riot. Their eyes light up when I explain the sheer size of these robots, and we often end up creating our own silly scenarios where Gundams are the stars of a comedy show. “Dad, what if a Gundam tried to play catch?” they’d ask, giggling uncontrollably. Life is all about those little moments, right? Whether it’s discussing the physics of a Gundam or just enjoying a good laugh, it brings us closer together. So, if you’ve got any quirky stories or thoughts about Gundams, or even just funny moments you’ve had while watching your favorite shows, drop them in the comments! I’d love to hear them!
