  1. is it wrong that I find the Nemo color variations just wrong? I mean Capt Nemo from the Two Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is definitely the basis for the name of this MS but neither is this MS an aquatic type of MS nor does it sport any underwater equipment or coloration... :3

  2. The nemo is the name of the ms, not the variation, from mobile suit zeta

  3. I know it's the name of the MS... -_-

    Apparently you weren't able to understand what I said when the name Nemo originated from the character Captain Nemo from the novel Two Thousand Leagues Under the Sea...

    Now relating the Mobile Suit Nemo to the character Captain Nemo seemed pretty wrong for me since the Mobile Suit Nemo is neither an aquatic type mobile suit nor does it have any underwater equipment nor does it have any color relating to any underwater theme in which the name Nemo from Captain Nemo where it originated from.

    1. I had the same thought initially, but then I recalled the scene in Homer's Odyssey where Odysseus fools the cyclops. He tells the cyclops his name is Nobody, which, in Latin is "Nemo." So I guess, the connection the audience is supposed to make, while kind of a stretch, is that the AEUG's grunt (nobody) mobile suit is going to "get over" on the Titan's monoeyed (cyclops) mobile suits.

  4. Nemo meaning nobody in Latin also ties in a well albeit slightly cruel with the Nemo being a grunt suit in the show; grunts being "nobody", just part of the background. I seriously doubt the producers had Captain Nemo and the Nautilus as the inspiration for the name.
