>Tomino uses the theme of war through misunderstanding a lot
>Ideon ended with the main characters being reincarnated
What if every universe Tomino has written about, including Gundam are the reincarnations of the Ideon cast?
>>14301798
There's a noncanon manga that posits that.
>>14301798
Interesting idea, but not the only series where he played the reincarnation card.
Dunbine also posits that those killed will have their souls travel to Byston Well to be reborn. It's not as overt as Ideon is with it, but it's still there.
Just a theme he worked with in a few of his shows.
There's even a little of it in how 0079 handled Newtypes (particularly Lalah).

You answered your question when you posted a picture of Afro Amuro
>>14301798
Pre or post Ideon?
>>14301798
The funny part is that would also be consistent with Tomino's fixation on the cycles of history constantly repeating themselves for eons. Whether or not this carries any weight at all depends on if you're part of that camp that believes that all of Gundam is set in the same universe over a ridiculously long time frame. Honestly, the potential for fanon autism is staggering if you look at all of Tomino's stuff and it's derivatives through this lens; I remember I read someone saying that Xabungle was set in CC/RC before those were even things, but I've never seen Xabungle so I don't know if that's an actual possibility or not.

>Xabungle
Turn a takes place on Earth while Xabungle takes place on Zola.
>>14302213
Post Ideon obviously.
>>14302213
Turn A and G Reco happen pre Ideon, everything else is post Ideon. Time is a flat circle.

Can you name the manga?Is it the Gunota one?
>>14301798
In Unicorn, when Full Frontal and Bananagher go to the bigbang, there's a light. That's Ideon Sword.
Byston Well is the realm between earth and sea that "transports" the souls pulled by Earth's gravity to the ocean to our world.
So if the reincarnation theory is right what about all the non UC Gundam series, are they before UC or after?
>>14304592
Nah its like Ideon vs ZZ or some shit.
>>14304651
There's no way to know that.
Just Ideon started it all
(and should be something before Ideon, since IDEON EXISTS and it's kind of an old civilization machine)
>>14304651
Both, obviously. If time is circular then it's both at the same time.
>>14304686
Let's say Turn A starts it all, I've not watched it yet but sounds like it fucks with history quite a bit, everything could branch from there and Ideon might be the end result.
>>14304118
Oh okay.
Then literally anything can happen as long as all of Gundam comes before Ideon.
>>14304686
"This light, it's Ideon Sword."
I just lost my shit
>>14305282
I was hesitant when I first saw, but the sound effect makes no room for mistakes.
>>14304838
Why the hell do you think Turn A must start everything? There's even Zakus in the story. It's more like it is the FINAL gundam (but G-Reco took that place, now).
>>14302426Zola's actually a post apocalyptic Earth, Biel says so in the show.
