Firstly, it is the last Gundam film directed by director Yoshiyuki Tomino. Director Tomino's unique worldview and storytelling are fully displayed in this work, and have the power to draw viewers in. Furthermore, this work, which was released in 1991, was expected to open up a new era for the Gundam series. Set in the year 123 of the Universal Century, it depicts a further future than the previous Gundam series, depicting new technology and social conditions. The story is set in the emerging colony group Frontier IV, and begins with an attack by a mysterious mobile suit unit called the Crossbone Vanguard. This attack forces the protagonist Seabook Arno and his companions to escape the colony. Seabook is forced to escape without having time to search for his friend Cecily Fairchild, who goes missing. This sense of tension and speed leaves a strong impression on viewers. Furthermore, the revelation that Cecily is in fact the daughter of the Rona family, the leaders of the Crossbone Vanguard, adds depth to the story. Her suffering and growth evoke sympathy from viewers. The portrayal of the characters is also superb. Seabook faces many difficulties, such as attacks by the Crossbone Vanguard, the death of his friends, and the existence of F91, which his mother is involved in, but he does his best to survive with his companions. His growth and determination move the viewer. Cecily's conflict and resolve are also impressive. She decides to live as a daughter of the Rona family and starts a new life as Bella Rona. Her inner change deeply moves the viewer. The mechanical design is also not to be missed. The F91 design by Kunio Okawara is a departure from the conventional Gundam series, and its originality and beauty will captivate viewers. The Crossbone Vanguard's MS design is also unique and leaves a strong visual impact. The power and beauty of the battle scenes have the power to draw viewers in. Music is also an important element. The theme song "ETERNAL WIND ~Hohoemi wa Hikaru Kaze no Naka~" sung by Hiroko Moriguchi is a beautiful song that symbolizes the theme of the work and resonates in the hearts of viewers. In addition, the background music by Satoshi Kadokura also enhances the atmosphere of the work and draws the viewer into the world of the story.
