Ace Combat Fan Happy Birthday

Maybe the “ill kill my father” was just a star wars reference

HAPPY BDAY!!!!!!!!

John Titor I totally agree with you. I myself had a similar view about teacher and his defection. But imagine the psychology stress would he have seeing his students dying over and over again

The mystery of the teacher, hes a human, while the kildren are gentic fuck ups so the teacher can be seen as the good guy, he keeps on fighting to destroy the kildren for what they did to his old wingmen, and rostock was what caused his freinds to die, so he hates rostock for what they did, and thats probably why he switched sides, as well as the fact hed lose his ability to manuever as well with the sanka, hes the ace of aces in the SC universe, and hes holding that title till he dies of old age.

@@theghostanihalater9391 also, in Innocent Aces it's implied his plane of choice is the Suiga, while in the movie it's the Skyly J2. while the J2 is not in Innocent Aces, the D model is, and the Skyly D and the Suiga are among the only planes in the game to be able to carry both the Shotgun and the Exploding Bullets as secondary payload options. The shrapnel effect of both of these weapons are ideal if you want to do more than JUST shoot down the enemy, shall we say

so what im ultimately gathering is that in sky crawlers we actually play as the scum of the earth got it

Loved the second theory, I still think the first is canon. Although I only realized Yuichi was the clone of the teacher after that "kill my father" scene the first time watching it.

Two of the books have been translated so far, they are available on Amazon Kindle ;)

To be honest, I'd love the novels to be translated more often. There's one series that I really would love to have translated, namely Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Pretty much a huge space opera with heavy emphasis on characters themselves and their fates with politics, pretty much being Japanese space non-mecha version of Game of Thrones. Holy crap, that comparison is one of the best ones given how twists are made, at least according to the anime series I've watched.

I only watched the movie, so I'm oblivious to the wider universe. My explanation was always that the teacher is the 'director' of this fake war all along. The war is something like a sport, purposefully not endangering civilians and also never too be won. The two companies have only one purpose: to wage war to remind the public of the importance of peace. During the movie the main character masters the stalling maneuver and eventually thinks he can outsmart the teacher, getting revenge for their continuous cycle of death and rebirth. However it turns out it was never fair. As Cairn outsmarts the teacher the teachers plane suddenly maneuvers in a way that should not be possible, pivoting around the kildrens plane in a screw normal to the flight direction, utterly destroying it. For me this shows that the technology used in the war is purposefully outdated for a long time. This makes sense compared to our timeline: high powered turbo airplanes were only in service for one or two decades. The Nazis already had jet plane prototypes only years after the development of turbo propellor planes. So for sure technology has moved on, maybe further than we believe in the movie. So the teacher, though outsmarted wins easily and kills cairne who is replaced by himself again. So the commander and pilot are forced to stay in hell, being killed and reborn forever.

@@teahousereloaded Actually the teacher did a flat half spin or what is also known as an uncoordinated turn. It's only been possible in a few aircraft in history including the Fokker Dr1. Read up in Werner Voss' last dog fight, number 4 squadron's pilots were astounded by what Voss could do in his Dr1. Though never to the extreme degree in the film. But it is fiction so some BS air maneuvers should be expected.

@@Alte.Kameraden I knew that half-spin seemed very familiar but I couldn't really place it anywhere in the history, given not a lot of aircraft would posses extreme maneuverability aside of obviously modern Sukhoi 37.

> *"I do have a question though, why do all the characters and locations have Japanese names if they're in Europe? And why do they read Japanese news paper?"* It's probably a form of control implemented by Rostock. If your primary language isn't the same as the natives of the region you're in, I imagine you'd feel a little disconnect. (Yes, I am aware they know how to speak english, that's not the point.) That and as you asked about the newspapers, which are in their native language and probably heavily filtered and flush with propaganda by Rostock. They achieve much the same effect as the language difference. It's a way of ensuring the Kildren focus on Rostock and Lautern's never ending war of Greed and do their job.

@@JaySeraphon No, it's just mainly in order to be sold in Japan, because there's not much propaganda in TSC universe, as we can sometimes see journalists reporting pacifist demonstrations. Remember that the author wasn't even sure to be able to sell its books/manga at first, and have been barely able to sell it around the world... It's quite hard to have international renown when you're not American, sadly...

John Conner it is more reminiscents of Neucom and GR corporate conflicts, only with propeller aircrafts

*Les Enfants Terribles intensifies*

Let the victor be justice.

Yes it was me, thanks! The original picture is 7242 by 2442 pixels just to make sure it had a good definition!

Gameplay is almost the same except for the auto maneuvers

@@AceCombatFan They were really OP to be honest. I've previously played Macross on the PS2 (the one made by Sega AM2), Drakengard 1 and 2, Panzer Dragoon series and Macross Frontier games so I think I should be fine.

どいたしまして。はい、Episode2の計画もうあります

@@AceCombatFan , I personally think that the game should be thrown out as non-canon. From the standpoint as The Teacher being a kildren who _chose_ to grow up, the movie makes sense. Here's why: 1. You yourself pointed out that the book series reveals that the memories implanted into the kildren are fictional. So, they weren't clones of real people but are completely fabricated from scratch by Rostock. 2. Kannami in the movie corrects Mizuki and tells her that it's not that the kildren _can't_ grow up but that they _choose_ not to do so. And, we see this again when Kannami tells the guy at the radar base that the kildren don't have a reason to grow up when they could die any day. 3. Even in a fictional universe, it doesn't make sense that Rostock owns The Teacher's DNA and memories if they didn't create him, because the European Confederation appears to be a liberal Democracy with strong individual rights. Kildren are not slaves , but the DNA and memories used to create them belongs to Rostock. It makes more logical sense that The Teacher was Rostock's top creation, but The Teacher refused to stay with Rostock and agreed to work for Lautern under the condition that they allow him to grow up. Although, an aging Teacher lost his immortality, he can at least learn new tricks that not even Rostock could create through false memories. However, all the Teacher accomplished was that he revealed that Rostock has a flaw in their development process. And, later iterations of The Teacher are designed to have the will to never want to grow up. In the end, Rostock won. *This also makes the whole fathering Kusanagi's daughter less creepy because it means that she had sex with another kildren and not a grown man.* This also means that the The Teacher line of kildren are the only ones in the movie who try to end the cycle in different ways but fail every time: 1. The Teacher leaves Rostock to work for Lautern and grows up but all that Rostock does is make sure that later iterations lack the will to grow up. 2. Jin-Roh has Kusanagi kill him, but all that is accomplished is that Rostock extracts memories from his corpse and implants them into Kannami. 3. Kannami tries to end the cycle by killing The Teacher who's also the first in his line, but fails and is killed instead. *That's why Kannami leaves it to Kusanagi to save the kildren.* The kildren are supposed to be metaphor for people who refuse to grow up. But, even though The Teacher is getting older and fathered Mizuki (whom he abandoned), *he isn't really a man* . It's up to Kusanagi to take responsibility for her actions and admit to Mizuki that she's her daughter and that her parents are kildren. But, we never get a sequel, so it seems that Kusanagi is just putting off the inevitable that Mizuki will find out that Kusanagi isn't her sister and that her mother is an ageless synthetic human, and what does that make her?

Tbh if that happened id shoot her down. I dont wanna deal with the constant whining

he saw the cobra from yellow squadron... Or the reverse?

Vote: Isamu Hiragi successful kill Teacher or got kill by Teacher in Aftermath (I'm not try spoiler what if happen Sky Crawler 2)
