Description
In Episodes 13 and 14 of Gundam Wing, it’s all eyes on Trowa in the center of the ring just like a circus he’s about to blow up. Baby, he’s a put-on-a-show kind of girl, so he’s going to do some terrorism and self-destruct. Luckily, Catherine punches him in the face, as all of us wish to do to all Gundam pilots. Sunrise wastes some great goggle-wearing designs on one-off characters who exist only to allow Zechs to claim ethical superiority. The podcasters wonder if all anime is fascist—wow, @ past us, that’s a little extreme, let’s calm down. But we toss aside our serious analysis of politics to get to what’s really important: World Apology Tour Featuring Heero and Trowa. They spent all that time alone on the road together—what did they do—did they accidentally brush hands—did they keep glancing at each other but missing when the other one looks back—we become feverish with possibilities. Heero apologizes to a Relena clone while Relena herself gets a fashion upgrade and yells at some old men. For our fandom artifact, we look at a map of the Gundam pilots movements for the first 17 episodes, bringing new meaning to the phrase “Trowa the bloody clown.” The map is available with translation and color coding courtesy of GW Episode 50, available online at https://gwepisode50.tumblr.com/post/128770106040/gundam-wing-world-map-episodes-1-17.
