Spoiler note: the scene and relevant story developments are discussed below.
- Series and episode
- The original Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam TV series, episode 13, “Shuttle Launch” (シャトル発進). This is a TV episode number, not a chapter in the compilation films.
- Speaker and recipient
- Kamille Bidan addresses Quattro Bajeena, the identity under which Char Aznable is serving with the AEUG.
- The scene
- During the argument about Quattro’s identity as Char, Kamille becomes angry at his refusal to acknowledge it and punches him. The line challenges an older man’s evasive attitude.
“Sonna otona, shūsei shite yaru!” is Kamille’s angry line to Quattro, not Jerid. It belongs to a different scene from the insult about Kamille’s name in episode 1. Our title’s “I’ll Correct You!” is an explanatory translation, not a claim about the wording of a licensed subtitle track.
Why does Kamille punch Quattro in episode 13?
Quattro is an experienced pilot with a past that the people around him cannot simply ignore. He may be serving under another name, but Char’s history still shapes what others expect of him. The conversation in episode 13 brings that gap between his chosen identity and his public significance into the open.
Kamille’s reaction is more than frustration over a false name. One way to read it is that he sees a capable adult keeping his distance from a responsibility he ought to accept. Kamille reacts physically, trying to force the issue. This reading concerns the characters’ behavior; it is our interpretation rather than an official explanation of every part of his motivation.
Bandai’s Gundam Power Word feature identifies the line as Kamille addressing Quattro. Establishing that relationship is essential: the scene is an argument between people on the same side, rather than a battle cry directed at an enemy mobile suit.
What does shūsei mean here?
The Japanese word shūsei ordinarily means correcting or revising something. Kamille applies it to an adult’s behavior, with a punch behind the demand. “I’ll set you straight” conveys the confrontational force more naturally than the idea of editing a document.
The scene allows both sympathy and discomfort. Kamille can recognize evasion, yet his method treats another person as something he can forcibly fix. Reading it only as a young hero delivering a deserved punishment misses that tension. It does not provide a useful justification for violence in a real disagreement.
Who says “So this is youth”?
That response belongs to Quattro, the man being struck. Kamille delivers the demand for “correction”; Quattro supplies the reflection on youth. Keeping the speakers separate helps explain why the exchange is remembered as a pair of contrasting attitudes.
Kamille’s later “This isn’t a game!” concerns Yazan and the fighting in episode 49. It is not another subtitle for this episode 13 line. See our guide to Kamille’s anger at Yazan for that distinct scene.
A related model: the AEUG Gundam Mk-II
The HGUC 193 Gundam Mk-II in AEUG colors connects the article to a machine Kamille pilots. This is the standard 1/144 plastic model, not the Titans-color version, an RG kit or an MG kit. It is related merchandise, not a product printed with the quote.
Assembly is required. If you are choosing your first kit, our EG and HG beginner guide explains the differences. This recommendation identifies the subject and edition; it is not a hands-on build review.
