The creator of the original Gundam franchise, Yoshiyuki Tomino, says that had Vladimir Putin watched Sunrise’s 1993 anime series V Gundam, he would never have gone to war.Translated by Zeonic Republic, a resurfaced interview with Tomino in the Summer 2023 edition of Great Mechanic G asked the iconic creator about how V Gundam has aged and its links to the current social climate given the Russo-Ukrainian War. “I revisited V Gundam and reviewed some of it. As far as directing is concerned, there were shortcomings and looseness in the direction, but there was also the opposite impression. And that is the relevance to the times. It’s been a year since the war between Ukraine and Russia started. To me, V Gundam feels so on the nose it’s like it’s entirely about Putin’s war. If Putin had watched V Gundam, I think he definitely wouldn’t have gone to war.”Tomino likewise mentioned his faith in the next generation in the 2023 interview with The Change, saying, “Today’s children from 7 or 8 years old to 12 or 13 years old are seeing the stupid reality of Putin’s war. I think that by the time they reach around 30 years old, they will have reached a new level of being a Newtype.” Newtypes refer to evolved humans in the Gundam series, able to tangibly feel the emotions of others. A Reddit post adds that the advanced empathy that the Newtypes can exhibit represents Gundam and Tomino’s hope for humanity.
