Message: [QUOTE="SpcDaicon, post: 361300, member: 134388"] Although they play a import part in the UC Gundams, the origin of Newtypes are kept vague. I think we gotta understand that Gundam is a anime from the 70s made by people who had experienced war (or the effects of one), witness a rapid growth in technology, the Moon landing and the social unrest and countercuture movements in the 60's. I do think Newtypes were some sort of new age thing that was prevalent at that time. Mankind's innate potential to our next step in evolution weaponized to serve stubborn old men that refuse change (the Earth Federation) or to justify supremacy ideals that only generate more war (the Zabis and the Principality of Zeon). I think Newtype's origins should remain vague. I would prefer to avoid another "i was the midichlorians" situation. If it is any help, most Gundam-related manga aren't THAT important to understand the main story (at least for UC Gundam). They do expand the lore and sometimes fill the gaps and give more context (e.g. why Haman is so defiant and petty towards Char) Ackchyually, Ideon is proto-Neon Genesis Evangelion 🤓☝️ [/QUOTE]
