It's forbidden like in chemistry, where it means it can still happen under extreme circumstances. And what's more 2000s extreme than an edgy teenager with a scythe?

It meant Forbidden to be shot down, at least until the patented Gundam final battle purge
Why else do you think THE Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala couldn't do shit to it for 15 episodes and yet the jobberman Yzak took it out in like 2 seconds
That's just a cool English word for the Japanese. There's no deeper meaning. Like Exodia, who despite the moniker of "the forbidden one" is not only allowed to be played but is also five cards in actuality.

imagine the confusion with naming a weapon "Forbidden" >we're deploying Forbidden >okay but why can't you tell us what it is?? >we're supplied with parts marked "Forbidden" >what the FUCK

It's 90s/00s autistic edgy, the kind of edgy where if they're not painting it black and red they're painting it "military colors" and talking about how they wish they were a mercenary or in a PMC.

Exodia isn't forbidden in japanese, he is sealed. A proper translation keeping the same phrasing would be something like "exodia the sealed one" and a more literally phrased one would just be "sealed exodia"

At least the design is true to the name.
What the FUCK is chaotic about an aerial Gundam with a not!Gerwalk mode and whiskers on its face?

It transforms and it has the weapon pods which functionally act like DRAGOONs. Basically it's supposed to be flying around all over the place, shifting forms and attacking from unforeseen angles.
