    Because they speak Japanese.

      Other characters who speak Japanese don't usually say that though

          I've heard from others that a possible reason for the confusion with Tomino dialogue is that he writes a slightly antiquated Japanese.
          I guess it would be kinda like having a movie come out today where the people talk like they're from the 60s.

            anon...writing dialog like it was some shit from a black and white detective movie would be more accurate. 60s movies have pretty modern dialog. Or at least, the way they form sentences is

            There is no confusion and his dialogue is greatly exaggerated by morons like OP.

              There is. Tomino says that Char's last line at the end of the first Gundam episode about the mistakes of youth made everyone confused at the production, some even blaming the series lack of success during the first run to that specific line. Japanese fans talk about Tomino linea being 'unique' as much as we do.

        Are you moronic? It just means "aren't/didn't/don't you say(ing)/claim(ing)". It can be interpreted rhetorically. Do you even know basic Japanese?

          I know that. It's just the frequency of the phrase that bothers me

          No. It's a normal phrase.
          [...]
          You're full of shit.

          If it was one character per show, I'd have understood. But almost all of the characters say this.

              If it was a common phrase, characters outside of Tomino shows would also use it.

                They do. Simple google images search shows tons of things using the phrase. It's basic Japanese, dekinai-kun.

                The first two images are completely unrelated to the phrase in question. None of the others seem rhetoric either (they're mostly asking the readers).

                Stop being so dishonest. A cursory Google search will show you it's a common phrase with a simple meaning. Yes, you are a fricking dekinai who has zero idea of what you're talking about. Do everyone a favor and end this farce. No one wants to deal with your bullshit misinfo.

                It might have a simple meaning but people rarely use it, let alone use it rhetorically.
