Imagine a real life N-Jammer being developed. We would probably have prolonged conflicts on a global scale because countries wouldn't fear Nuclear retaliation anymore. 😂

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, a comedy anime that is loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft works had a gag that revolves around Gundam SEED is that they can make an "N-Jammer Canceller-Canceller" which is then followed by a repeated added opposing "Canceller" to counter each other.

Chairman zala is too angry he didn't think thoroughly and his hatred clouded his entire judgment

Considering that Patrick Zala (Athrun's father) was essentially on a genocidal kick all the way up until the end of gundam seed AND Rau being the omnicidal maniac who played both sides to butcher one another, if Patrick was more sane and less of a genocidal maniac, he may have been able to simply stop and realize how much of a resource sink genesis was and how much of a risk the N-Jammer canceller was to begin with. And Siegal literally was telling him that there was no way for the coordiantors to exist as a separate race of people because third gen coordinators were sterile. Long story short, if Patrick Zala wasn't insane or Siegal was in power, the N-Jammer Canceller wouldn't have been developed (at least during the war).

Looking at it, N-Jammers is a good way to prevent nuclear meltdowns.

I mean the reason they built the N-Jammer Canceller was down to their inability to bring the conflict to a close by conventional means. By the time the N-Jammer Canceller fell into Alliance hands ZAFT was on the back foot after a string of losses on Earth thanks to the Alliance's new MS Corps. ZAFT had always been a manpower and materiel disadvantage and the only thing keeping them in the war was that each one of their DINNs and GINNs with a single pilot could reliably solo an Alliance Armored Division, Fighter Squadron, or Starship. But with the introduction of the mass produced Strike Daggers the ZAFT leadership knew their time was limited and that eventually, especially with their abysmal birth rate, Coordinators would be overwhelmed by the Naturals' weight of numbers. So for that reason ZAFT knew it needed it's own WMD, something that could so tip the balance in their favor as to ensure the safety of the PLANTs forever more, either by frightening the Earth into signing a settlement, destruction of the Alliance's main spaceborne forces to bring the conflict more to parity, or as a last resort the destruction of a large portion of the Earth. And that weapon was GENESIS. And for that weapon to function ZAFT needed to create the N-Jammer Canceller as no other fuel source could make the design work. It's use in the Gundams was more or less ancillary to this main role.

It should be noted that GENESIS is probably the only card they had left. ZAFT was having problems keeping up with the grind of war, and simply having more MS is basically having empty units without pilots gathering dust.

Wow, thanks for answering my question in detail😊 Didn't realized this was so deep & complicated within CE history

Given his tenacity, i'm sure Rau would have found a way to make sure things had gone the same way they had regardless of the N-Jammer cancellers or not. Things like this make me briefly consider rewatching Seed, before I remember how much I can't stand the actual characters and bury that idea where it stands.

The Zaft needed to have better security around the Freedom and Justice as well as the N-Jamer Canceler data. Being able to use nuclear weapons while your enemy cannot is a huge advantage, the war would have been won by Zaft if this had remained the case. That was probably Chairmain Patrick Zala's intentions, to end the war quickly with minimal additional casulties using the threat of nuclear weapons to force the Earth Alliance to unconditionally surrender, or be wiped out completely, to deter the Earth Alliance from further aggression against the Plants.

the science implications of a Neutron Jammer would be so damn crazy; that thing breaks the damn laws of physics like no joke even if it only does something like preventing gamma decay (which is the main mechanism of nuclear fission) that still has massive implications; if no gamma radiation is produced, would it instead be alpha and beta radiation (Helium and electrons respectively) and given the nature of gamma radiation (being high frequency electromagnetic waves), would it affect electronics and other things that use electromagnetism? seriously though, if I were an Earth Alliance politician I'd be begging the PLANTs for peace talks; if ZAFT can break the laws of physics what's stopping them from developing anti-matter weapons?

I wonder if this guy watched the movies instead of the show, as the movies pretty much ignore the n-jamming of earth (and most of the setup for the conflict, like not talking about what coordinators are until the 3rd movie).

In Destiny, they introduced the Neutron Stampeder, which could detonate enemy nukes. Then, they kind of ignored this weapon afterward. However, I imagine it'd be extremely effective against a nuclear powered mobile suit.

N-Jammer is very useful device and thank you for the answer why getting rid of it wasn't simple as it seems and a huge waste of time too. While I'm neutral to Cosmic Era factions but no one likes a trigger happy who love firing Nukes.

Case in point on the NJC field: Gundam Blue Frame Astray got within the close range of an enemy NJC field to use the nuclear fission power positron cannon it had.

Gonna be honest, im a bit surprised the N Jammers didnt have any effect on the planet itself unless tbe range was surface only and simply wasnt enough to penetrate to the core.

I do have a question for future QOTW. If Kira was unable to steal the Freedom which of the other 4 ZAFT gumdams would be perfect fit for him i.e Testament, Dreadnought, Providence, Justice and Regenerate as well as how would it effected Destiny because of that?

A question for a potential QOTW: What would the OYW look like if Project V had gone to plan rather than getting intercepted at Side 7? (i.e., no Amuro Ray)

The N-Jammer canceler is a whole bunch of magical martian rocks.

Honestly the n-jammers were a genius idea had they had been deployed more discriminately.

Loved that the Turn A was deeper than the T-Rex

For some reason the scenario reminds me of Robin Hood Men in Tights. Earth Alliances slaps with a glove via the nuclear strike, ZAFT picks up a metal gauntlet and slaps back via the N Jammers. Though apparently something like an N Jammer would make Nuclear Fusion easier and cleaner as it would help prevent secondary reactions and nuclear enbrittlement.

Glad to see the series back, these are really useful for gundam lore

Lmao april fools crisis always has me dying, they did it to themselves.

The Earth Alliance is one of the most frustrating sides in Gundam. Outside of ORB or the Middle East, I don't know why everyone on earth is still siding with them

The N-Jammer was a deliberate plan to give them a cassus belli to use Requiem if I remember correctly.

How do you think the OYW would have changed if Operation British had succeeded in its intended goal? (i.e., the colony actually hit Jaburo as one piece instead of breaking apart and hitting literally everything else)

Thanks for the video

I always wondered who would win the war if Kira and the Clyne faction didn't exist

We could use more of this type of video, discussing and explaining Gundam's original and weird terminologies.

As far as I remember, Earth Federation from the original Gundam ALSO had a Solar Ray weapon too... Solar System I think... the one that required a LOT of mirrors. I believe this was used against Solomon... and then in 0083 where it was rendered inoperable when all of its control vessels were wiped out . In my opinion, yes... I think EA would be able to EVENTUALLY come up with their own version of the N-Jammer if left alone long enough. They WERE able to come up Geschmeidig Panzer, Mirage Colloid and the Armure Lumiere systems... meaning their researchers have this grasp on how to create fields that effect their units. While it may not be as compact as ZAFT's, they might be able to create one that works like a i-field generator from 0083: Big, bulky, and probably going to be useful only to power bases, ships and nuclear powered long-ranged cannons Oh... to add... ZAFT really really REALLY needs to invest on military security... so much that I hope they make a joke out of it in Gundam SEED: Freedom. Exactly how much technology did they lose during the course of the war? The Freedom, the Justice, the N-Jammer Canceller, the Abyss, Chaos and Gaia, the DOM Trooper Original Spec data, the Eternal, the GOUF that Athrun used to try to make his escape, the Testament ... was ZAFT's security on strike (heh heh) during the course of 2 wars and refuse to do their jobs properly? o.O

The irony is that nuclear weapons aren't particularly valuable in space -- for the most part. Most of the destructivity of nuclear weapons are how they influence the material around them after detonating, but in a vacuum that's only going to be the immediate area it impacts with most of the nuclear explosion being diffused very, very, very quickly across the void. Combine that with the fact that a space colony such as those in the Cosmic Era would need to have substantive protection against radiation anyways just for the function of supporting life in such a hostile environment, you'd be better off using something else. Meanwhile the Earth is - and remains - incredibly vulnerable to nuclear attacks. ZAFT electing not to use them reflects pretty highly on them, really. Like, imagine if North Korea nuked Seattle and the response of the USA was just bombing their nuclear program. Granted, stopping a fundamental force of nature is a Culture-level feat, Coordinators are truly superior.

Hey Kakarrot, do you think that Raigo Gundam’s packs would have worked far better with machines like the Strike E and the Windam? Also, when can we expect a development history for the Second Stage Gundams?

What was the state of the Earth Federation after the Gryps War, and did Haman’s Neo Zeon have a real chance at controlling the Earth Sphere? Especially if the Zeon Civil War not had happened?

Personally I feel that the war would've been a never-ending stalemate since neither side would have a direct edge over the other and here's why: 1. ZAFT had the best minds to nullify nuclear power as well as develop MS 2. The EA started developing their own MS which allowed for a more level playing-field Regardless of how powerful any MS is, neither side wouldn't be able to make a more lasting impression on the other which leaves only one alternative: biological weapons. Even though Coordinators have stronger immune systems than Naturals, biological weaponry CAN be modified even further to target specific genomes, so the EA might try that one; I'm probably insane to think about that one. Also, I have a QOTW if you didn't see it in a previous video I commented on: how many warmongers exist in the entire Gundam franchise? A warmonger basically starts a conflict for their own benefit (usually financial); I'm also willing to accept any people, faction, corporate, etc. that will play both sides of said conflict for said reasons (mostly for 💵).

N-Jammer prevents Fission, but not Fusion, hence why Deuterium Fusion can power mobile suits and whatever else they need. Maybe N-Jammer's effect long distance radar, but that would be an electron issue with the material, or in the air, not a neutron issue. Also, Microwave Radiation is used as a wide-area weapon that bypasses N-Jammers without the need for cancellers. Also the N-Jammer can't effect electrons, or electricity just wouldn't work, so I don't completely buy that it would effect radar or radio. Frankly the idea that you can just stop Neutrons from moving, without effecting protons or electrons is just nuts, on the order of maybe you roll snake eyes and all organic neural activity ceases. Even if you only target the heavy metals, man you run the risk of quantum locking those elements, then having them all explode if the N-Jammer fails for a microsecond.

11:24 even with all the genetic modification, you can’t undo a human dumb thinking regardless of how intelligent they are. We are after all stupid mon’keigh.

Here's a question for you, either QOTW or a video idea: Do you think Zeon or Zaft in their respective universes could have actually achieved victory had plot not gotten in the way, why or why not? What I mean is, ignore Amuro and Char and ignore Kira and friends. Looking at their respective militaries, resources and positions, could Zeon or Zaft have actually won their independence and kept it? Or were they doomed by Earth's population and resource/infrastructure advantages? Or for some other reasons?

9:03, ngl I was expecting a segway into a NordVPN ad, and was so confused when it didn’t happen

This is great thank you. I don't remember this lore from the original anime but read it all on the gundam Wikia. Where did you find these scenes? Was it the HD Bluray?

lets go QOTW is bacj

I have a question but for people who know it's probably simple: What is the difference between a Natural and a Cordinater (aside from CE's New type)?

since i rewatch SEED series again and planning doing my fanfiction stories of it....there is a huge question i have which ones are the most corrupt Earth Military in every Gundam series? Earth Federation from Universal Century Gjallahorn from Post Disaster Alliance from Anno Domini Earth Alliance from Cosmic Era i hope you making a video of it, about their corruption, their special forces that did war crimes and finally their leader

Honestly Genesis was probably their only way for true victory at that point. Zaft was running out of soldiers and if memory served the gen 3 coordnators were steril so compounding the numbers problem. Zala probably quite frankly would have won with Genesis canon if it hadent been for terminal. The earth fleet would have been done with one more shot after their reserves were destroyed on the moon.

Seems like the Alliance didn't do their history, should have been called the Truman if they wanted to end it.

Will there be any time when you'll try to research and explain psychoframe next? I'm curious how it went from basic psycommu into breaking physical dimensions. And maybe while at the topic, the point of having narrative c packs? Jona wasn't awakened yet at that time so i kind find it somewhat pointless

Just as a regular question because I wanna build my mg origin rx-78-02 with a decorated set of ribbons ( military rank / awards ) so what kind of ribbons or awards would amuro be giving after his service after the OYW ?

Just remember coordinators aren't people FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OUR BLUE AND PURE WORLD!!!

I think a better use application of the N-Jammers, as in significantly more powerful ones mounted in ships and installed in the PLANTs themselves as defensive measures (effectively rendering nuclear weapons expensive battering rams) would have been a better moral victory for ZAFT. Part of the reason I think the AF's troops where so easily indoctrinated by Blue Cosmos was as a direct result of the economic and society hardships brought on as a result of deploying N-Jammers on Earth. People where watching their friends, children and siblings suffer and starve all because of some people in space. Very easy to turn that suffering and anger into extremism.

I feel like in another universe, the EA’s response for the N-Jammers would be to fight ZAFT with a weapons powered by alternative forms of energy. Maybe a wind-powered Gundam.

Lol Turn A in that example 😂

Now that we know what happened if ZAFT did not develop the N-Jammer Canceller, I would like to ask this for a QOTW: What would've have happened if ZAFT failed to steal any of the Alliance G-Weapons or Gundams? Would ZAFT really be in touble? I mean they're main strength was their mobile suits so they probably would've been able to counter the Gundams after some time. Bonus: What would've happened if the archangel managed to recapture all the stolen Gundams and their pilots after their departure from Orb? Would it have made a difference on the war?

I'd had the Canceller tech figured as a simple but powerful type of shielding on reactors.

7:23 i like those windows xp and turn a easter eggs.

Without the Canceller, the Freedom and the Justice would not be as powerful, meaning they'll have a harder time defending ORB, Kira and Athrun had a higher chance of dying at that battle in Orb. Now without ORB's interference, the Earth Alliance would have an upper hand at dealing with ZAFT, having those 3 pilots and those 3 machines, they would dominate the battle field, this may end up with ZAFT being defeated.

Question Whats the Cannon Status of all Gundam Units by the time of F-91 as in mothballed, destroyed, MIA, still in service, or other.

Got a question: if the I-Field are meant to be an anti beam field, if my observations are correct, why cant it block a beam from a beam saber, beam swords, etc

11:46 ironically the Atlantic Federation had the abundant materials for NJC than any other nation on Earth, forcing the PLANT to get them from Mars- which had their own dilemas.

Your theory that Zaft would have won the war if they didn't develop the Canceller is very credible. You just have a few wildcards that would make it not as cut and dry as that though. First you have Lacus Clyne and her faction trying to stop all fighting, sure she wouldn't be able to steal a nuclear powered Gundam to give to her bf, but I'm sure she would still try something. And then the other major wild card is Rau Le Creuset and his desire to destroy everything. If he can't give the Earth nukes he would probably find some other way to cripple Zaft to try to make it a more even playing field/blood bath.

From my understanding, the N-Jammers were used as a response to the Bloody Valantine tragedy, the plants largely decided to abandon Nuclear technology because they had nearly limitless power because of Solar Power. Patric Zala began the development of the N-Jammer-Canceler to develop the Freedom and Justice Gundam's based off the captured Alliance G Machines. I also want to point something out, I don't believe that the Freedom and Justice were Nuclear powered, Nuclear power, at least in real life is when Neutrons fall off atoms and hit other atoms, causing more neutrons and heat, but here is the thing, That heat has to be contained and kept under control, Chernobyl is a prime example of what happens if heat isn't kept under control in a nuclear reactor, and lets be frank, there just is NO way the cooling systems needed for a nuclear reactor can fit in a gundam. I believe what they used in the Mobile suits were Fusion Reactors, which is a type of nuclear energy, but not like Fission, which is basically just atoms breaking down, Fusion is when 2 atoms combine to form a heavier atom, which releases a lot of energy in the process, well this method would need to be kept cool to keep the reactors housing from melting, compared to Fission, Fusion makes a lot more sense. I'm very VERY much overthinking this but still, even the OG Gundam was powered by a micro fusion reactor, so people calling the Justice and Freedom powered by a Nuclear reactor just kinda pet peeves me because unless you got a lake hidden in that gundam somewhere, the second you turn that thing on, you got about maybe 3 minutes before it melts down pouring nuclear slag through the cockpit, instantly turning the pilot into cooked meat and causing an ecological desaster the likes of which hasn't been seen (and hopefully never will)

Steam powered applications make a big comeback.

The most amazing piece of technology in the Cosmic Era universe is still that somehow an early 2000s era Acer Aspire laptop still worked.

I'll be honest I completely forgot about N-Jammers because I saw SEED like a year ago, and I saw SEED Destiny relatively recently, and it isn't mentioned in Destiny.

I'm going to be that guy. What powers the jammers?

i feel their logic is the earth alliance gonna eventually develop their own n jammer canceller anyway

Here’s a question for you, considering how good the mobile dolls were in wing, the final battle was described as even between both sides, based on what we saw through out the series, what’s your thought on it

I would have to say the N-Jammer itself would be a necessary evil, but the NJC(N-Jammer Canceller) in the context of military use is not a requirement. While ZAFT's non-military side would have a big benefit from having the NJC tech, I don't see much use for it that isn't a nuclear missile on the military side. While it does bring about very powerful gundams, just a handful of those aren't enough to completely stomp on the EA(Earth Alliance). But, EA might just purposely target those machines instead just to get their hands on the NJC tech which would have been even worse for ZAFT should that happen.

N-Jammers have always been baffling to me. Like just how? What the the hell are they emitting that can prevent the inevitable process of atomic effing decay. Like it has to be tech that is straight up altering the fundamental forces. And how is substantial power generation done in this universe enough to power whole Mobile Suits and enormous superpower like Massive Microwave and Gamma Ray emitters. Hell how are the N-jammers powered? Batteries can only get you so far. Hell it's baffling that C.E.'s technology runs so well on Fission as opposed to Fusion.

Here’s a question: During the Freedom vs Impulse battle, could Kira and the Freedom Gundam have won the battle against Shinn and the Impulse Gundam, can why couldn’t Kira just use the Full Burst Mode on the Impulse Gundam?

maybe in another timeline, the N-Jammer Cancellers were not made. like a "What If" series.

My only question is why does it seem like nearly everything in SEED has an acronym (from a writing standpoint, not in-universe)?

@kakarot197 hey sir, can you make a video about Zaku Phantom Development History?

Please do a video on the most powerful/dangerous mobile armors of all time.

This is easy, go with the N-Jammers, develop solar power systems that exceed anything terrans have and then use conventional weapon systems til the earth goes silent, then swoop in and pluck up enough humans for a breeding population and leave earth as a ravaged memorial to Humanity as it was and move out into the stars. Job done, and humanity's journey amonst the stars begins! ^.^

You should do a video on the gerancieres from unicorn

N hammer Cancellers we’re inevitable history has proven that some tech, strategy, or a mix of both will be made to counteract new weapons or tech. Imo what’s only debatable how long would it take even if ZAFT didn’t develop them. Also keep in mind orb has good scientists coordinators and naturals that could possibly develop them at some point to like the g weapons and astray frames. And other third parties to the demand is high to do something about the N jammers for most living on earth.

Originally deploying the n jammers could be seen as both a war crime and terror attack considering how reliant the earth federation was on nuclear power and considering I think Zafron actually had a decent chance of winning had they not developed the n jammer canceler

So a A.O.Z RE-BOOT version of the ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5［Hrairoo］going to come out soon

QOTW Question: Do you genuinely think that Amuro and the RX-78-2 actually made a difference during the OYW or were Zeon just fighting a war they already lost and were just too stubborn to admit?

There are three questions that pop into my head when I think about N-Jammer technology: 1) How much energy does it consume and where is it getting this energy from to continue operating independently and indefinitely? 2) How does this affect self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reactions occurring deep within the Earth? 3) How does this affect microscopic nuclear reactions within biological life? They do occur on a microscopic scale in our bodies but serve no real function, however the presence of a field of energy that disrupts these reactions could have consequences tied to the processes that create these reactions which *are* necessary biological functions. I get that it's just a plot device to make things happen the way the show needs them to and that I'm nitpicking, but the unexplored destructive power of such a device and its lack of limitations does make for some interesting thought experiments. The sheer domino effect of such a concept is potentially even more staggering than the various crises of the show explored.

Hey Kakarot, what is the another Pegasus Class mentioned on Cucuruz Island Movie?

what's the effective range of a single N-jammer and just how many N-jammers did the PLANTS launch on Earth?

Here's a question: what is Phase Shift armor and how exactly does it negate kinetic weapon impacts?

Yo kakarot197 did you see the Gundam ibo urdr hunt movie news this morning their finally turning it into a movie which is great bc lat week you said the mobile game was cancelled

The Vindicator boldly asks the question 'What if we want a Griffin, but don't have Griffins?'. And then it answers with 'We make our own'.

QOTW idea: what Gundam universe has the strongest Gundam or ms based on how technically advance the Gundam or ms is

I think you're right

even if PLANT didn't create the N-jammer cancellers and won the war, they still would've lost as a species, 3rd Gen coordinators where genetic dead ends, they're almost sterile at the point.

If ZAFT didn't make the N-Jammer Canceller, then... ORB will.

I wonder… like what I discuss in most my Fanfic How long can one NJammer last? Like does it had an unlimited supply of energy Also can it stop only nuclear engine? How about fossil fuel engine? Or solar powered engine?

I like how the N Jammer basically made the earth into 2023 sri lanka

Can you talk about the F1 collaboration with Gundam? I really want one of those kits!! Thanks

It a bit amusing humans have mastered space colonization but still depend nuclear tech

Zaft was its own greatest enemy it seems.. meanwhile blue cosmos and the earth alliance could do whatever the hell they wanted without anyone on the inside sabotaging them...

@9:10 I was expecting a VPN sales pitch

...that requires Kira not killing Nicol

Im interested to know how the actual physics of the N jammer and N jammer canceller work…and wasnt it Le cruset who leaked the canceller blue prints to blue cosmos?

If the cancelor had never been developed, ZAFT would have lost long term. They were loosing on Earth even before the disaster in Alaska, and with the Alliance closing the gap on tech, Zaft just couldn't trade blows with the Alliance. The canceler was probably developed so that they could build Genesis. But that brings us back to the question of would those resources and research have been better invested elsewhere?

0:51 Why keep on calling it the First Alliance PLANT WAR,it's Basically Called the First bloody Valentine War

Here's a fun QotD: **How did Anaheim conquer the "weak structural integrity" issue of their suits?** In UC canon, one of the weaknesses Anaheim found during the Zeta Project was weak structural integrity for transformable suits, a problem that persisted seemingly onto ZZ. However, it was hardly mentioned in CCA (and money is still the given reason why we don't have so many Re-GZs), and by Victory Gundam, we have combination gimmicks for miniaturized suits. Even in later works, we have Anaheim fielding out things like the Delta Plus and Anksha in Unicorn, and by Hathaway's Flash, the Penelope is a combined form of a giant mobile suit plus a flight unit.
