I’m Still A Gundam Fan
"If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!"
I notice certain people dropping out of the Gundam fandom recently because, as they put it, it’s become one big shitstorm session. UC fans railing against AU fans, AU fans railing against UC fans. People refusing to give new Gundam shows any credit. People saying the old ones are outdated. Shippers raging over their OTPs not being recognized by canon. I understand. It can get a little tough to be a Gundam fan sometime. So some people quit.

Inside of Bardos Island, Kouji appears in the Pilder, along with Baron Ashura.
