A satisfying and worthy conclusion to a brilliantly executed retelling of a classic. The artwork masterfully expanded on the characterizations and scenery and action, allowing the story to have the emotional weight Gundam fans and newbies alike can appreciate while also allowing the plotting to thrill and keep us turning pages. This entire adaptation was great, to be sure. This finale was superb and has a famously optimistic sentiment (perhaps more so than the original Gundam series) that works on many levels. 4/5 (because the only thing that might have improved upon it would have been to alter the ending from the source material but then it wouldn’t be Gundam, would it?)
