.:. Gundam 00 .:.

The epic finally of Gundam, and thus my post on Gundam.

Summary: Earth is running low on fossil fuels, and the construction of an orbital elevator which sends solar power down to Earth. In a bid to survive, countries all attempt to take it, leading to war. A team of 4 Gundam Meisters, under the organisation Celestial Being, engages on an armed intervention, in an attempt to stop all conflicts on Earth.

So ya, its war again. And its up to these few bestowed with the power of the Gundam to save the Earth. While epsiodes after episodes of people fighting, bloodshed and victory, one never fails to wonder whats the reason for fighting.

For example in the case of Azadistan in 00, its a war between religion. Do you forsake your religion in an attempt to gain power to continue running the country, or retain your identity and solve the problem yourself.

For the case of AEU, they were producing military units, yet the rise of Gundam results in an endless conflict between flags and Gundams.

For Gundam Meisters, they fight because of their past, to protect the present, to ensure a future.

All in all, it boils down to why fight. Do you fight to protect your ideals, for revenge, to save humanity, or simply for the sake of fighting. These thoughts keep springing up, as different characters in the show portray a different reason for fighting. Be a kid, a military soldier, or a mecenary who just wants money.

As the season comes to a close, the questions remains etched, only to solved on friday night. In the end, everyone was badly injured, both the war factions and Celestial Being. After that, all countries individual forces were dissolved and formed a united army under the UN. Finally the original plan of Celestial Being's existence became clear. By forming an armed intervention, Earth forces could only get together and be united in their fight against the Gundams.

And there u have it, a united Earth. But isn't it sad that it was only formed under such circumstances, and moreover, how long will it last?

Here's a last line:
Do you fight to end the fight?

Looking up to the sun
Flying high, up high on wings
The heat dissolves them
and he falls into the deep sea.

A single tear drops into the serene water, creating a wave
That wave is blown by the wind and reaches far away.

The moon gently massages my shoulders
reflecting a yellow path on the water surface.
