Synopsis:

This work presents a retrospective view through the eyes of Char Aznable, weaving together key events from the Gundam saga spanning *Z*, *ZZ*, and *Char's Counterattack*. The narrative unfolds as a layered experience, intermixing footage from these series with spoken reflections delivered by the voice actor of Char. The presentation evokes a sense of melancholic contemplation, examining themes of legacy, ambition, and the cyclical nature of conflict within the Universal Century timeline.

Rather than focusing on grand battles, the work emphasizes personal introspection and historical context, offering a unique perspective on Char’s journey and the unfolding war. The interwoven visual and auditory elements create an atmosphere of quiet intensity, inviting viewers to consider the long-term consequences of individual actions amidst a backdrop of political upheaval and technological advancement. It serves as both a conclusion and a bridge to later narratives within the Gundam universe.
