Gundam, meaning "Gundam".
Pilot a mobile suit between the sea, the sky, and the universe: "Gundam is the romance of men."
Since its debut in 1979, it has become one of the most famous, enduring, largest, and most profitable series in Japanese animation. And to create this excellent series, it has to be said that the "father of Gundam" - Yuki Tomino.
Talking about the "Father of Gundam", there are many things I want to say, and the topic may deviate from today's main role: "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".
Looking back now at the end of the TV anime series, this two seasons of 50-word content that began broadcasting in 2007 are in conjunction with the theatrical version of "The Awakening of the Pioneers".
Even fans who have never seen the "Gundam series" can grasp some of the thoughts of Yuki Tomino in his long creative career through this uncomplicated plot:
The theme of "Up to 00" – "Human Possibility: Mutual Understanding".
"Mobile Suit Gundam 00" has a huge destructive power in a multi-perspective, "Gundam", the cruelty of war is naked in front of the eyes of fans.
Celestial Being, an organization for world peace, is just an ordinary person who wants an ordinary life.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > peace, to fight to the end, is the fear of war</h1>
The energy problem is a "worldwide" problem that has been born since the discovery of fossil fuels.
In 2307, due to the depletion of fossil fuels, humanity began to search for a completely new form of energy – a giant solar power system consisting of three huge orbital elevators. Three alliances with three huge orbital elevators were born: "UNION", "Human Innovation Alliance", "AEU".
For the sake of their respective prestige and prosperity, a huge game of hegemony was launched. Yes, even as the wheel of history sails into the 24th century, humanity remains fragmented.
Humanity chooses to cooperate only when confronted with a common enemy.
In a world of constant war, a private armed group, celestial beings, which claim to "end war by force," emerged.
The group relies on the Mobile Suit Gundam body, which is far beyond the current level of science and technology in the world, to intervene in the many "armed conflicts" that have emerged in the world.
I never advocate war, except for peace. - Grant
The core purpose of the Celestial Organization is to unite humanity through forced intervention and prepare for the coming dialogue.
The so-called dialogue, that is, mutual understanding. The so-called contradiction also exists under the premise of the incomprehension of both sides, and it is also the emergence of war that leads to it.
Only after experiencing the cruelty of war will we be more eager for the arrival of peace. The vast majority of the members of the Celestial Organization are made up of people who have experienced or suffered from war.
The moment when he lost his loved ones at an early age and was forced to become a "young soldier". F. Qingying;
Rocion Stratos, whose only twin brother remains due to terrorist attacks;
Arrelua Haptizim, a fugitive who conducts brutal human experiments in order to dominate the world;
Because of misinformation, his own army killed each other, and thus killed his lover on the battlefield, such as Emperor Lee Noriga.
Under the three hegemonic organizations, the world seems to be peaceful on the surface, but underneath it is surging undercurrents, and "worldwide" armed conflicts will break out at any moment. Among them, countries that have not joined any of these organizations are even more bullied by the hegemony of the three parties.
For this "local" armed conflict and the inevitable outbreak of "world conflict", this group of young girls who have experienced war and have fear of war, for the peace they desire, they act for the peace they desire.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > armed conflict, it is not only the situation in the world that changes, but also the lives of ordinary people</h1>
Shaci Crosslord and Louise Halevy, two close-minded couples, should have spent the rest of their lives happily together. The so-called "armed conflict" and "celestial organization" mean nothing more than news reports on television.
But the happiness of the two was changed with the emergence of the "Trinity".
The emergence of the "Tianren" organization, which far exceeds the scientific and technological level of the three major alliance organizations, in the eyes of the three major organizations as hegemons, if they can obtain the "Gundam", they will gain absolute force and dominate the world.
Far exceeding the performance of the major alliances, the "Gundam" made the three major alliances have to move towards unity. In the joint military exercise, the four "Gundams" of Tenjin were successfully captured, if there was no "Trinity".
As a result of the Gundam attack, Louise lost an arm and all her loved ones. The happy life that was about to enter the marriage hall with Sha Ci is no longer there.
Louise, who survived by chance, was also full of hatred for the "Celestial Organization". Sha Ci then learned that her dearest sister, as a journalist, had been brutally murdered while pursuing intelligence from the "Tianren" organization.
This pair of two ordinary people who would have spent the rest of their lives happily and ordinaryly, so the series of chains triggered by the "Tianren" organization lost many important things.
Confirms the saying that "when war comes, no one can escape"
With the activity of the Celestial Organization, the situation in the world began to turn.
The three alliances, once hostile to each other, began to seek cooperation to form the "League of Nations" to fight against the Celestial Organization that possessed the "Gundam", and the world moved towards unity for the first time.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > step forward, mutual understanding, and possibilities between people</h1>
4 years after the final showdown between the Celestial Organization and the Nationalist Alliance. The League of Nations aimed to further unify the human mind, but in addition to the regular army of the Federation, it established the independent policing force A-LAWS.
The League of Nations, which achieved peace, became a puppet under A-LAWS, which possessed great force. This kind of false peace is not what the Celestial Organization wants to achieve.
Once again, the Celestials and the Anti-Nationalist Coalition launched an operation against A-LAWS. The railgun, which was located in the outer orbit of the Earth and posed a great threat to the people on Earth, became the target.
The development of the situation, with the collapse of the orbital elevator, the people who were once hostile to each other, shone with the brilliance of humanity. Act together in the face of falling elevator debris. Just to protect the many ordinary people below.
Can mutual understanding resolve all disputes? Although it is too idealistic, it is also a way to seek peace.
The 50-episode TV plot has turned the once conflicting world situation to unity, and the "cancer" A-LAWS that exists within it has also been eliminated under the brilliance of human nature.
This was followed by human contact with unknown alien civilizations. The theatrical version of The Pioneer's Awakening provides an extremely thorough explanation of mutual understanding.
In the face of the sudden intrusion of unknown alien civilizations, the two sides, which could not communicate and communicate, broke out into war under the premise of completely incomprehensible to each other.
Looking back, you will find that the civilization called ELS by the League of Nations responds to attacks by the League of Nations, thinking that this is a normal way of communication. The League of Nations, on the other hand, attacked because ELS was terrified of human assimilation.
In the end, the moment of becoming a changemaker, the release of GN particles enables communication between the two sides, thus reaching mutual understanding. The great flower that appears in the universe represents peace.
Thus, humanity embarked on a new era of total pacifism in which problems can be solved through "dialogue" without relying on weapons.
However, for reality, the idea that mutual understanding can avoid war is too idealistic. But to a lesser extent, isn't the vast majority of contradictions between people just because of the lack of understanding between the two sides?
Yuki Tomino simply showed a possibility in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Because, peace, is so precious.
