First time I watch Gundam and to be honest I wasn't expecting to be this realistic emotional plot. It shows how the world is not fair and justice and that every evil is created by another evil. At first I didn't understand why McGillis had high hopes and respect for Takadan since he was from nobol powerful high ranked family but it turns out Takadan and McGillis are from the same coin or they drunk from the same glass. It shows all that glitters is not gold. Takadan and McGillis were both physically and mentally abused by selfish, greedy, untrustworthy and evil adults. I know, feel and understand their pain as I was somehow like them at some point in my life.
