Another great thing about these side stories is the exploration of different themes. It could be about friendship in the face of war, or the moral implications of using advanced weaponry like the Gundam. These themes add depth to the overall Gundam narrative and give fans more to think about.
In the setting of the Gundam, Side7 was one of the space colonization satellites. The White Fortress had slowly entered the spaceport of the Side 71 colonial satellite. Many important events took place here, such as the first ever battle between an MG and an MT between an RV- 78 - 2 Gundam and a Zagu piloted by Zeon's scout soldier. At that time, the main battle of the Federal Army, the RV- 78 - 2 Gundam, was piloted by Amulo Ray. It destroyed two Zagu in the first battle, demonstrating its powerful performance and Amulo's extraordinary talent as an MT pilot. The RV- 78 - 2 Gundam and RV- 78 - 1 prototype Gundam were also tested at Side7. Later, the RV- 78 - 2 Gundam was transported to the White Base and became an important combat force. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
It varies. Some Gundam side stories can be short, like a few episodes or a single OVA. Others might span a full season or more.
The story of 'The 08th MS Team' is quite memorable. It focuses on a small unit's struggle during the war, showing the grittier side of the Gundam universe.
One interesting aspect could be the exploration of side characters' backstories. For example, we might learn more about their past experiences that led them to be involved with Chainsaw Man. It could also show different perspectives on the Chainsaw Man world, like how normal people view the chaos caused by Chainsaw Man and his allies or foes.
One interesting aspect could be the unique characters introduced in it. They often have distinct personalities and backstories that add depth to the overall story.
Side 3 was located in L2 behind the moon. It was a cluster of colonial satellites called Munzo. It was the only Side that had never used an open colony. It adopted a closed colony form and removed the glass " sky " panel. It was a completely " solid " cylinder. There was no open space and vision, but it could accommodate more people. In U.C. 0052, Gion Shime Daiken moved to Side 3 and spread his philosophy of continuity, encouraging the people of the space colonies to think of themselves as independent from Earth. In U.C. 0058, under his guidance, Side 3 declared independence from the Earth Federation and established the Muzo Republic. In U.C. 0068, after Daiken's death, Dejin Zaby took control of the Muzo autonomous Republic and renamed it the Jiweng autonomous Republic. Under his leadership, it became a dictatorship. On August 15th, U.C. 0069, Durkin announced the establishment of the Duchy of Giweng and became the ruler himself. He let the four children control the army and cleaned up the remaining followers of Daiken. From U.C. 0069 to 0078, the Duchy of Giweng produced warships and mobile warriors on a large scale to prevent armed conflict with the Federation. After a year of war, Side 3 was controlled by Prime Minister Dacia Barharov, who demanded peace and reached an agreement with the Federation. Side 3 would remain independent in the name of the Republic of Gion, and could maintain an armed force and undergo regular inspections by the Federation. However, many supporters of the duchy rejected the proposal and went into hiding. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Well, one interesting aspect could be the character development. The side stories might further explore the main characters' backstories, like their childhood or how they came to be who they are in the main story.
The side stories in the Solo Leveling novel are interesting because they offer a fresh take on the familiar world. They can introduce new plot elements that might not have fit into the main narrative. For instance, there could be a side story about a secret organization that has a connection to the main story's events but was not fully explored before. This not only keeps the readers engaged but also gives them a more comprehensive understanding of the Solo Leveling world. Additionally, the character development in these side stories can be quite fascinating. Characters who seemed one - dimensional in the main story might get a chance to shine and show their true complexity in the side stories.
Well, for me, it's the unique settings in the side stories. They often take you to parts of Tsushima that you might not have fully explored in the main story. The beautiful landscapes combined with the unique cultural elements make it a great experience.
The character interactions are great too. Imagine the stoic and highly - trained Gundam pilots meeting the passionate and often reckless Survey Corps members. Their different personalities and values can lead to some really engaging dialogues and character development. Some fanfics explore how they learn from each other, like the Survey Corps learning about more strategic combat from the Gundam pilots, and the Gundam pilots learning about the importance of hope and determination from the characters in Attack on Titan.
