"MAN MACHINES: WHAT GUNDAM’S WERE" "GAIA GEAR" (1993) PART#6 (Ep13)

You're now entering the next episode in my series on the Story Breakdown of Gaia Gear (1992-1993). Hope you enjoy listening.
I need to slow things down with this series, and I think I've found the best way to do that. While also not providing some much better breakdowns in this second half. I'm super excited to do the remainder of this arc. It's insane.
I've already got the scripts and have started recordings for the next episodes in the story.
For over 30 years, many GUNDAM fans have believed that "Victory Gundam" was regarded as the FINAL ENDING CHAPTER to the UC Timeline.
But what If I told you that before that anime was even released; the creator of Gundam produced a sequel to the events of Char's Counterattack and a follow up to Gundam Hathaway's Flash set 100 YEARS into the future. A story that many of us in the west haven't even heard of before.
That story was "GAIA GEAR". Released as a series of 5 novels written around the same time as the original "Hathaway's Flash" books (and later an audio drama which I will be dissecting), Yoshiyuki Tomino created a brand new story that was centered around "Afranche Char" (a clone of the late Char Aznable) as he fights the forces of "The Manhunter Agency" (who we're first properly introduced to us in the Hathaway's Flash books) and their armies of highly advanced "Man Machine" mobile weapons.
Piloting the titular "GAIA GEAR α", Afranche must help a fledgling resistance stand against the federation's agents now bent on tyranny. On his journey, he'll uncover the truth and reasons why he was created. Unlock secrets and discover as well as hopefully rectify the past mistakes and flaws of the fallen Zeon hero and ultimately try yo live up to his genetic forbearer in his own mission to survive this new age of overpowering technology, human de-volution, suffering and sheer utter chaos.

Well, you were the ones who put Afranche as the supreme commander. Now you have to deal with it.
