Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin

This OVA prequel series reveals the untold history of the One Year War, tracing the youth of Casval Rem Deikun as he reinvents himself as the masked pilot Char Aznable and orchestrates his father's revenge against the Zabi family. Alongside it, the development of the first Gundam mobile suit and the Federation's desperate preparations give context to everything that follows in the original series. Beautifully animated, it enriches the Universal Century mythology with political depth and character tragedy.
