by The novel “Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway of the Flash” was released in 1989 by director Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator of “Gundam” (during the national roadshow from June 11th). Anime critic, Fujitsu-Ryota is, Bright Noa son of Hathaway Noa to consider this work to be a hero, as a “love model of” the center of the heroine-Gigi.

Learn romance with fiction. Is it possible to do that? Love is a very personal activity. Therefore, it is quite difficult to apply the method of love of others to yourself. Moreover, if you become a fictional character with a special background, you will be farther from “I”. What’s more, the love affair is often portrayed as something special that can only be played by a fictional character, being “heavy” to be more romantic. Trying to derive a love how-to from it is like calling a folding screen tiger to catch it. So what can we learn from fiction romance? Is romance just an element of the gorgeousness of the story? This is another extreme theory.
There is something to learn in fiction romance. But it’s not how to. So what can we learn? Fiction has the function of modeling various elements of reality and showing them in a form that can be grasped in a straightforward manner. The same is true for romance.
The romance modeled and drawn in fiction simply shows “what kind of mental activity is romance”. It’s difficult to grasp your own mind. However, if you know various “modeled romantic feelings” through fiction, you can grasp the movement of your own mind. Through fiction, we can objectively grasp the changes in our minds. Personally, I was clearly aware of this in Isao Takahata’s “Only Yesterday” (1991).
The film is often talked about only by the evaluation that director Hayao Miyazaki said, “The director told the farmer to go to his wife.” However, the development that “the beginning of a love affair” is that “they solved my long-standing illness from a different point of view” is a very straightforward picture of “why do you like the other person?” It was. Recently, Kotaro Tamura’s “Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish” (2020) also dealt with what love is like head-on.
The same who was trying to draw “romance” as an equal relationship that is neither dependence nor asylum Written. As a condition for that, I simply drew through the actions of the characters that mental independence (having one’s own world) and social independence (sociality) are two wheels. And the movie “Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway of the Flash”, which is currently being released, is also a very enjoyable work from the perspective of a “model of love”.
Everyday items of Camille Bidan, Quess Paraya, Gigi Andalusia
“Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway of the Flash” is a visualization of a novel released in 1989 by director Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator of “Gundam .” This work, which was released on June 11, is positioned as the first part of the trilogy and has become a hit with box office revenue exceeding 1 billion yen in two weeks after its release. The main character is Hathaway NoaA young man. He is the leader of the anti-Earth federal government movement “Muffy.” Hathaway is carrying out terrorist attacks, including assassinations targeting dignitaries of the Earth Federation Government. They control people in space under the name of Muffty Nabille Erin, the leader of Muffy. The story begins with Hathaway boarding a shuttle to Earth. This shuttle is hijacked by a fake claiming to be a Muffy. In subduing them, Hathaway gets acquainted with the mysterious girl Gigi, Colonel Kenneth Sleg of the Federal Army. In this way, a bizarre “love triangle” that cannot be called a strange “love triangle” between military personnel, terrorists, and Gigi is created. What kind of person is Gigi, who is at the heart of the love triangle? First, she is portrayed as having a “correct intuition.” The ability to grasp the essence of a specific situation or person the moment you see it. In the Gundam world, these abilities are characteristic of new types (existences that have increased insight and intuition by living in outer space). Still, this manuscript does not go into detail about them. And the correct intuition comes from where she has “sensitive sensitivity.” “Sensitivity” and “intuition” are based on them. That is at the center of her.
Director Tomino tends to prefer to draw such a person. Although drawing is somewhat pushed out, there is a lot of trust in “sensitivity” and “intuition” itself. Representatives are Camille Bidan, the main character of “Mobile Suit Z Gundam” (1985), and “Mobile Suit Gundam.” Quess Paraya, the heroine of Char’s Counterattack (1988). “Char’s Counterattack” depicts what happened about ten years before “Flash of Hathaway,” and Quess was also the one that Hathaway fell in love with at the time. A person who has such “correct intuition” and “sensitive sensitivity” will turn the “pure line of sight” born from it to the surroundings. It results in eccentric behavior and often conflicts with the world.
Let’s say you have a naked king. Camille, Ques, and Gigi should all feel that the naked and proud King is the node of various deceptions (commercialism and vanity). Perhaps Camille wouldn’t forgive the King, who is happy to be naked, and would hit him. If you quote Camille’s line, he says, “I’ll fix it.” Ques may look down on such a king and spit out about one of his brims or throw a harsh word, “You’re a little sick!” Director Tomino affirms the purity of those types of people and pushes them into tragedy as if to say, “But that kind of purity is both a childhood and a difficulty in living.” .. So how does Gigi behave in the face of the naked King? As you can imagine from the portrayal in the film, she wouldn’t explode her emotions as directly as Camille and Ques. While describing the King as a “boring person,” he may laugh at him. But if you open your mouth, you’ll probably point out the essence of things, “Why are you bothered to be naked? Isn’t someone fooling you?” “May throw a harsh word.

Where was Hathaway attracted to Gigi?
Gigi differs from Camille and Ques in that he wears the armor of “sociality” while having his “correct intuition” and “sensitive sensitivity” inside. Gigi is the mistress of Cardias Boundenwooden, the founder of a large insurance company called the Count. She is well aware of how the world sees being “surrounded” by an elderly Count. There is a place where Gigi also directs himself to the “pure gaze” that Camille and Ques directed only to the world. And that slightly cold gaze makes her unique. (In addition, there is Lalah Sune of “Mobile Suit Gundam” as a character who calmly looked at his social position, but on the contrary, Lalah seems to have a resignation or a similar line of sight to society. Appear). Where was Hathaway attracted to such a Gigi? That is the “sharp sensitivity” part at the very root of Gigi. As a terrorist leader, Hathaway is a Logos man who “heads” to think why they need to fight. That is why I am attracted to Gigi, an Eros person who has the sensitivity to feel and react with the whole body. Of course, I think the shadow of Ques, who I once fell in love with. In the film, there is a scene in which Hathaway embraces Gigi, who is crying in shock during an air raid. Gigi witnesses the battle of a giant robot in front of him, and his keen sensitivity takes all the wonder. The novel describes it as “crying like a baby” and “not tolerant, a child’s reaction.” Gigi murmured that it was terrible and scary. Hathaway agrees with it. However, the air raid is part of Muffy’s operation. If you think in terms of “head,” you can ignore Gigi’s childish reaction. But Hathaway cannot resist Gigi’s sensitivity. Hathaway has no choice but to think that “the fear that Gigi feels with his whole body is correct,” even though he thinks it is childish in his head. Erotic in the gaps of the logos so that water soaks into the desert in this way Su is going in. It must be a long-forgotten feeling for Hathaway. Hathaway’s feelings are written very dramatically, but it’s not uncommon to be strongly attracted to different sensitivities. When I was very young, I took an acquaintance to Ginkakuji. I didn’t know until then, but the acquaintance said he liked most. Therefore, when I arrived at Ginkakuji, I was firing “Dangerous!” On the moss in the garden. Since I had only knowledge of “Shoin-zukuri” and so on, I was very inspired by the feeling of being excited by the moss of Ginkakuji and the fact that it was nothing more than the word “Yabai!”. Such a feeling of touching the overwhelming sensibility of the other party leads to interest in the other party.
Why Kenneth treats Gigi as the goddess of luck
So what kind of favor does Kenneth have for Gigi? Although Kenneth is from ordinary people, he is a person who has advanced to this point with his abilities. In other words, he is a realist practitioner. Moreover, because he is confident, he has a strong push. Kenneth wants Gigi to be his goddess of victory. Kenneth knows that “luck” is the last difference between light and dark because he is confident in his ability. Then, the goddess will also bring in “luck” by drawing her into her territory. So why does Kenneth treat Gigi as the goddess of luck? When Gigi first met Kenneth on the shuttle, he had a good idea of what Kenneth was. This “correct intuition” of Gigi is probably the basis of Kenneth. The owner of “correct intuition” has a strong “pull.” Then it may bring luck to you. Of course, this has no scientific basis. However, it is also very rational in the sense that a person doing a dangerous job “takes the test” at the very end. This is not just Kenneth. When Hathaway escapes from the air raid, there is a scene where he bets on the strength of Gigi’s “pull.” I can understand the feeling Kenneth. I have a very weak “pull.” It is often (I feel) that it is “missing” if you think about it and choose it. Therefore, if a person has a strong “pull,” I would like him to divide his “luck” a little. If you stay by your side, you may be able to spend your days with peace of mind. I think this is one of the reasons why I like people enough.
Glass core = soul
In this way, Gigi is made up of three elements: “sharp sensitivity,” “correct intuition,” and “social armor (which includes understanding one’s beauty).” Gigi is also described as “emotional instability” because it sometimes moves back and forth between these three layers. However, when I think of it as having such a mental structure, it is not “emotional instability.” Although cut in the movie, Kenneth described Gigi in the novel as “a guy who has a very youthful body on the top, even though the core is like glass …” and Hathaway agrees. This “glass core” is the part of “sharp sensitivity” and “correct intuition” and the part of “social armor” where the “body” is visible to the world. And Hathaway and Kenneth are attracted to that “glass core = soul.” The relationship between Gigi, Hathaway, and Kenneth is depicted in “Flash of Hathaway.” It is drawn from the two aspects of “why people are attracted to the state of mind” and the reason for the other person’s side. In that sense, this work is a work that allows you to “learn romance.” Moreover, it was a work with such an aspect that the viewer would want to look back on past love affairs and re-examine “why did he like it.”
