Reader’s Question:
I’m still confused about a line from Gundam III “Encounter in Space.” When Degwin Zabi says, “What is Kysiria doing? Hitler was killed by his own people,” what does he mean? 1. Is he saying that Kysiria should just kill Gihren to stop his rampage? 2. Or is he
asking her to stop Gihren before he gets killed by his own people (like Dozle or his close aides)? Which one of these interpretations is correct?
Deep Dive into Gundam III’s Complex Lines
So, I was diving into one of my favorite series, Gundam, and I stumbled upon a line from “Encounter in Space” that kind of threw me for a loop. You know, the one where Degwin Zabi says, “What is Kysiria doing? Hitler was killed by his own people.” At first, it seemed pretty straightforward, but the more I thought about it, the more tangled up my thoughts got.
Two Interpretations, One Confusing Line
I found myself pondering two main interpretations. On one hand, was Degwin suggesting that Kysiria should just take matters into her own hands and off Gihren to stop his tyrannical rampage? Or was he warning her to act fast before Gihren faces the wrath of his own people—like Dozle or some of his close aides? It felt like a classic case of miscommunication, but diving deeper into it made me realize there’s so much more at play. Interestingly, a user pointed out that in the original TV series, there wasn’t even a line about Kysiria. Instead, Degwin simply said, “Hitler was defeated.” It’s like they took a whole different approach to the dialogue in the movie! In the film adaptation, they flipped it to focus on Kysiria, which seems intentional given the fact that Gihren’s ultimate fate is intertwined with his sister’s actions. It’s fascinating how historical references can shift and reshape a narrative, isn’t it?
Reflecting on the Intent
Honestly, I think the intent behind that line is more about Degwin’s concern for the future of the Principality of Zeon rather than a direct call to action for Kysiria. It’s a moment filled with tension and underlying dread about the paths they’re all on. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion; you know something bad is coming, but you can’t look away. And as I pondered all of this, it reminded me of those late-night discussions with friends about movies and their hidden meanings. You know, when you’re sitting around, snacks scattered everywhere, and you just start dissecting every line like it’s the key to some grand mystery? I love those moments—they’re filled with laughter, crazy theories, and sometimes even goofy impersonations of characters.
