[Gundam UC] Drifting Through the Universe

Combat itself has no meaning, but human history is a continual cycle of fighting... Otherwise, humanity would perish.

As I said, humans are always repeating the same mistakes.

Earth once had countless brilliant civilizations. Istanbul was once the jewel in the crowns of the two great emperors, Constantine and Justinian, yet the one city Byzantium could truly be proud of eventually crawled before the Sultan. The lands of France once gave rise to Europe's dominant power and witnessed the glorious dawn of modern democracy, yet they still suffered under the ravages of neo-Nazism.

Thus, amid the darkness of each age, heroes emerged, shining alongside the civilizations they were bound to. They became pioneers in the course of history. Even when humanity reached the galaxy, this historical pattern remained unchanged.

But another kind of figure, whose dawn shone alongside that of the heroes, had a different name. They hid behind the heroes... Perhaps they had flaws worthy of criticism, but I would still call them "the ones who led their age."

These were the words that came to mind when I met the "hero" of the One Year War.
