Demi Trainer Development History 

I forgot if it was the manual for the model kit or the show itself that mentioned it while at the incubation party, but the Yoasobi Demi Trainer's control system is apparently music-based, so instead of sticks and levers, it's probably a synthesizer and a mic...

> gets loaned an extremely expensive, likely one-of-a-kind prototype long-range rifle > Immediately uses it as a baseball bat Never change, Chuchu.

I lost it at Chuchu getting a Halo double kill feed 😂

If only Chuchu managed to get a jet pack. Being able to go 3 times faster than the others would be fitting for her.

At 7:00 it makes you wonder if Chuchu can give an exceptional punch for her size or if the snooty Spacians just can't take a decent hit. Because the first girl got folded like origami.

"For melee combat, the Demi Trainer is armed with a stick. This is fine, because it's intended as a training unit. Obviously, you'd have to be some kind of moron to send your mainline battle units into close combat armed with nothing but a stick.... (insert Genoace picture here)" -- Kakarot's first draft of the script, probably

A shame we didn't get to see the Demi Barding in all of it's glory, so many cool features that we didn't get to see in the anime.

I appreciate the effort the artists and animators put in to make the Demi Trainer feel so robotic. It actually reminds me of Honda's ASIMO, a machine very carefully crafted over decades to reliably perform numerous unremarkable humanoid actions without falling or breaking apart. While that may seem unimpressive relative to most Mobile Suits - and other fictional mecha - a Demi Trainer is really all you'd want or need in most circumstances.

Good point at the end where the suit looks like jeturk design, but dominic (is that the name) did seem to partner with jeturk in the ending, so the MS could be a collaboration effort between jeturk & dominic.

If they just gave us a little OVA of the Barding in action I'd kill to see that. It's a shame it never got a proper battle. I would have loved to see Chuchu and Suletta fighting side by side.

At 3:05 you mention the quad barrel arm as being referred to as a missile launcher in secondary material but appearing as a beam machine gun/gatling gun in the anime, however in the clip afterwards, look at the Haros in the flight units. They weren't actually hit with anything, nor were any beams in the air. Rather, they beep, and then fall down. It's entirely possible that it is actually a missile launcher, and in the training clip was not loaded with live ammunition, but rather the Demi Trainer unit was sending data to the Haro flight units that they would have been hit, had it been using live ammunition, and the haros drop out of the air to simulate being shot down. This would also make sense within universe, as why would you waste the production and transportation costs for all the ammunition, and replacing the Haro drone things, when you can just imitate it, which would still work well enough as a training exercise, without any of the replacement costs.

Ah the Demi Trainer. Like a happy fushion of Zaku and GM with no faction or anything. Just good ol' mass production and variant glory. This is my new favorite MP suit, so I thank you for this video.

Wfms done long enough for its first development history. Awesome The demi feels like the descendant of the Leo, just less explodey

There's something to be said for "cheap and cheerful" mobile suits, something I am sure you can concur with as the resident GM and Dagger superfan.

If they don't anounce a melee variant of the Barding and name it after Chuchu in someway i'm going to be very sad, also i want that melee variant to come with dual hammers.

We need more WFM Ms development history.

I love the fact that chuchu's demi-tainer has heelies

I'm sorry but I just realized in the box art a demi trainer is falling flat on its face, I just noticed it by seeing your video and choked on my drink lmao

I so love the designs of Ad Stella universe. That make so much sense and look so good. Sigh, the fandom has come a long way. Please Bandai, give us more!!!!

Probably the cutest GM lookalike ever.

Chu Chus punches will never not bring a smile to my face

Really sucks the Demi Barding didn't get to fight in space. Like other people said, Chuchu isn't experienced enough to fight side by side with Suletta against Eri's Gundam drones. But they could've at least done something similar to the Batman & Wonderwoman versus Parademons. Chuchu is having a heated battle with one drone while Suletta is almost finished with the rest of the army during that time. Or at least show us how Chuchu is using that rifle mace agaisnt a Gundvolva. Well, in my opinion that's really actually fine the way it went. Except there's false advertising in the opening video about the Barding fighting together with Suletta.

With that much work for the MS design, we rarely see ChuChu MS fighting :\

Man these Barzam variants are getting wild.

In my school vr game, ChuChu was finally involved in the game, but on a subflight unit protecting the Calibarn and Eri from undead mobile suits while she in the demi trainer chuchu custom but the unit got downed by a undead zwart heavy

A true rarity in gundam, a successful roller based mobile suit.

Loving these "development of" vids, they're a really easy and entertaining way to deepen my understanding of these MS

8:40 Look at that. Do you see that? Do you know what that is? P-Bandai remold. XD

I love your gundam lore deep dives. The passion you put into these is very apparent. Thank you 😄

Disappointed we never got to see ChuChu's pom-poms represented on the mobile suit.

Hg Demi Garrison, anybody?

Chuchu's trainer is basically the MS-05 Zaku I Sniper, yea? Like, outdated, tan paintjob, big gun attached to the backpack via a cable. Probably pretty obvious, now that I think about it.

It's possible that the "quad-barreled missile launcher" option on the Demi-Trainer is a smoothbore cannon, which would allow it to fire missiles. And... maybe beams, I guess? WfM tech can be weird sometimes.

I think that hand weapon actually is a missile launcher. The clip shown was using the Demi Trainer for simulated shooting exercises which had it act more like a laser tag gun than a missile launcher since it deactived the targets rather than shooting it down.

I would love to hear about the Bawoo and Rebawoo history from you, you give such a good gundam history video

For the Demi-Trainer's quad-barrel missile launcher, it's possible that it was displayed differently in the anime than the model kit due to safety reasons. The Asticassia's school's barrier might not have worked against explosives should they've missed the Haros (and, I don't think one would use actual explosives on them), and I think the ban on physical weapons were also for the inside of Fronts, not just space. Presumably, should they be used in live combat on Earth (where pollution is not a concern for Spacians), they would use actual missiles instead of beams used for targeting practice.

Nika:we will win by sniping the enemy and run away when confronted. CHAD CHU CHU:LEFT RIGHT GOOD NIGHT

"...Who would then find an 'alternative' use for the Beam Rifle Plus..." Never change ChuChu!😆

This was such a cool video! It was easy to understand for my friend who had never seen Witch from Mercury too!

7:01 hehehehehehehe 7:17 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA what a beautiful time to be a fan of both franchises

Keep up the good work!

Of course the unnamed one from the manga that will probably never get a model kit of is the Demi unit with my favorite head design so far

7:02 "first strike" "double kill"

9:59 In that case, I assume that the Demi Barding is a logical extension of that design philosophy (on paper, at least, since we don't see it do much in-show), you pay a lot more for it, and get your money's worth in performance and then some.

at this moment of writing, bandai just announced the demi garrison, at this point bandai just trolling you with always posting new stuff that u just reviewed

Hearing your description of what Permit is kind of reminds me of Metatron from Zone of the Enders.

Will you do one for Gelgoog?

Here for that g witch content. YES PLEASE!

I would've loved a spin-off featuring Chuchu trapped on Earth and going into war. Also maybe find an abandonned/damaged Demi-Trainer to personally customize.

Mano I love the Demi Trainer design and modularity.

babe wake up new kakarot197 development history video is out

One of my favorite suits from TWFM because of how simple and bare bones it is. It's blank template and has such custom potential

ChuChu deadass put Heelys on her machine

The Halo Easter eggs were a nice touch

Chuchu best girl

Chu Chu’s Demi Trainer is more equivalent to a Chu Chu Train, Fast, agile , and hits like a Train

Great timing on this one, was just watching another of your videos when you posted this.

this video is the reason why I started to watch witch from mercury.

I love your videos men!, can I suggest?, can you make a video about the Zaku Warrior/Phantom Development?. That would be awesome!, more power to you and God Bless

When you were talking about the weapons for the Demi Garrison, there was a different extended rifle at 9:11 that was never mentioned.

I honest want a 5 pack of the Demi Trainer. I have watched most if not all of Gundam series and read most manga, and i can easily say Demi Trainer and Demi Garrison are my favourite mass produced ms.

I adore this line. I have a fascination with civilian use MSs, which are an odd rarity. While not strictly civilian models, the Demi series ticks all the right boxes for a cheap, all purpose mobile suit- as capable of warding off an enemy attack as it is doing construction work.

How to use long range weapon : Normal pilot : shot and run Chucu : shot, run, charge, club mode

7:48 That's just Noisy Boy from Real Steel.

Demi Barding, aka the CHU CHU ROCKET!

Really love chuchu

The Demi Barding reminds me of the grunt style Veritech Fighters from Robotech (haven't seen the original Macross so don't know if they come from that too).

Can't wait for the "Advance of Mercury" manga to make this all obsolete

The barding is such a bad ass mecha

Could you do one on the Ifreet? That suits getting a lot of attention lately so how about a full scoop on the frankenbot?

Kinda makes compare it to the Zaku. Versatile agile and able to be modified with an inch of its life. Also Chuchu needs a chill pill as that is a criminal waste of Beam Weapons. Something tells me she would be happier with a melee unit.

Baby's first war machine

Time for history, recap time

I wish Burion Company Mobile Suit manufacturer new developments Demi-series or previous old Demi in Mobile Suit Variations.

I love how grounded all the suits are in GWFM. The designs are not outrageous (e.g. Seed Destiny, Freedom). Armors and weapons are fairly standard and the suits are not walking bombs that explode with 1 hit (e.g. GWing OZ suits).

The video thumbnail be like: Lvl 1 Noob vs Lv 100 Pro

Honestly wished Quiet Zero went full Neo Zeong and, instead of the firing squad, had the Assembly League army destroy themselves by friendly fire

3 days later Demi Garrison coming out in December

May be the MS(Ad stellar 125) from Ep 24 final part is the joint development of Jeturk Heavy Machinery and Burion company???

Nice

Demi Trainer my beloved.

This MS more draw my attention than lfrith aerial or else Reminds me of Zaku and Sumo from Turn A

Easily the Best Character in all Witch From Mercury and the least Controversial thing about this show

I thought Chu chu hair development 😊

Question #1: What if the White Base was not destroyed at the end of the One Year War? ( What if the White Bases engine never got destroyed during the battle of a baoa quo?) Question #2: What if Tem Ray never got sucked into outer space when side 7 was attacked?

The Demi Garrison looks like a SWATbot from Sonic SatAM.

Ah damm i was hoping on another barzam update😢

Please if you will continue the development history for Witch from Mercury can you make it about the Dilanza or the Zowort?

If MS were existing in reality you would be a researcher or a teacher

I Love Demi trailer, Specially sniper, the first1 is my fav❤❤

This the GM in this universe

Im hopin they make a stealth based demi

I neverr really care about grunt unit before, but WFM design is so good that it made me appreciate grunt units.

Ah yes the T 85 calculator of mobile suits

I really like the Demi line.

Chu Chu using a sniper but she is a Melee combatent, in MS or out.

wait the yaosabi demi trainer is meant to make music, isn't there the barzam variant called the musica?

Armored Trooper Chuchu!

Bandai just announced hg demi garrison right after this video Kakarot197 are you sure you not working for bandai and secretly teasing new releases

When you said Chuchu demi trainer is a perfect long range machine, while the pilot herself is meele fighter both in and out i lold hard...😂 ... Also, after you mention that, it reminds me of Heero While his signature weapon is TBR Many times he use beam saber to close combat... Even on par with Wufei's Altron an MS that solely focus on Meele combat
