“The Gundam represents the might necessary to maintain imperial hegemony”
The gundam fights against
UC: Nazis, Nazis, Neo-Nazis, Accelerationists, the French Revolution is in there somewhere, and then it’s Nazis
Wing: Imperialists
G: Gender Essentialism
X: So, here the Gundam was developed as a WMD by the UNE, so I’ll grant this one, even though that isn’t what it’s used for throughout the show.
SEED: Eugenecists
00: Imperialists
IBO: Cops
Witch: Capitalism

Dam, I finished watching Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. So good and sad! I need something to lift me up. I'll check out Your Lie In April. Seems like a fun, easy going, show.

Here’s some cool art by Ippei Gyoubu, a very cool mechanical designer for Gundam, among other things.
I am now going to talk about it. (There will be spoilers for Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans)
Gaelio did everything he possibly could to save Ein, going beyond human biology. Eventually, Ein is left as part of Gundam Vidar. He is there, but not human anymore, as represented by being in shadow.
After this is done, Gaelio swears to take revenge on those who left Ein this way, even adopting the name Vidar (Norse god of vengeance, according to minimal internet searching). (Also interesting to note that Vidar is named after a god while all other Gundam frames are named after demons)
It is also stated in the show that he spends ALL of his free time maintaining and tuning his mobile suit. Clearly he truly cares about this thing that everyone else only knows to be a soulless machine.
When Gaelio fights, he states that he and Ein are perfectly in sync. Sharing the same name, they ARE one being.
But Ein is not human anymore. He never truly will be again. Gaelio can not be with him, thus the physical separation in the artwork and Ein being in shadow. The only way they can be connected is through this Gundam.
