Would you compare Treize to gihren of mobile suit Gundam?

Narratively, yeah, I would. The thing with Wing is that it's anti-UC, so the character arcs are all flipped on their head for the most part. For example, Heero is an anti-Amuro, a fully trained soldier regaining his humanity rather than a civilian forced into a war and becoming a soldier. With Gihren and Treize it's the same thing. Both are top military leaders of their organizations and responsible for starting a war but unlike Gihren who believes in the superiority of one race over the other Treize was shown as caring about humanity. It's not a perfect 1:1 with Wing since Wing combined elements from various UC series and also branched out and did its own thing, but if I had to pick a UC counterpart to Treize, then it'd definitely be Gihren, yes.

Garma: It's awful being a kid. No one listens to you.

Degwin: It's rotten being old. No one listens to you.

Gihren: I'm a spacenoid man aged eighteen to forty-nine. Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are!

[lemaistrechat]

The way Degwin Zabi, after giving orders that killed more than 5 BILLION people, feels guilt for his actions and tries to shift blame for the things that make him feel bad by comparing one of the four grown children he made high military commanders to Hitler is... really something.

Char's original excuse for wearing a mask is that he is ugly lmao

This is from a story outline made by Tomino while the anime was still in production. You can read a translated version here. There are major differences between this and the finished anime. Some of these scrapped ideas would later get reworked into the novels, Origin, etc. I'll share some of the bigger changes and other interesting bits here.

Lalah is called "Asteroid Lalah." She sees Char "as a brother."

Sayla split the gold bars she got from Char with the rest of the White Base crew, keeping one for herself.

The "real Char Aznable" is mentioned. He's not described in detail but Sayla knew him before he died and Char stole his identity.

There's a bunch of mobile suits/armors and characters who never appeared in the anime, including Degwin's secretary, Qusco Ale, who Bright falls in love with but has to kill, and Casval Bailey*, a teenager who becomes "Amuro's loyal subordinate." He dies in the finale. There's also a Zeon newtype named Paccadelia. He calls Lalah a traitor when he notices her and Amuro having a newtype connection, but then he is killed by Kai and Hayato.

Tem Ray is (supposedly) murdered by the Flanagan Institute

Kycilia dies much earlier in the story. Char kills her with a sword.

The Lalah and Amuro fight takes place underground on the Moon.

Degwin meets with Sayla and admits to his role in Zeon's death. He then dares her to kill him, but she doesn't want to be vengeful like her brother.

Char dies at A Baoa Qu after being badly injured in an earlier fight when Amuro destroyed his mobile suit (a "garaba," which doesn't appear in the anime). He has a final conversation with Sayla and tells her to go on without him.

Amuro kills Gihren, but is then shot by one of his guards. The ending is ambiguous on whether he lives or not. He tells Lalah he will play with her "tomorrow" and then passes out.

*The person who translated this rendered his name as Cathbar to be more distinct from Char's original name but they're almost identical in Japanese: カスバル vs キャスバル. While looking for more info I learned he shows up in that weird For the Barrel thing.

Started the Zeon campaign and immediately took a bunch of Garma screenshots

Gihren no Yabou -- New Zeon Route Prologue

As commander of the Earth Attack Force, Garma’s uprising shook the people. Dozle Zabi of the Space Attack Force responded to this as such -- with two commanding officers of the Zabi name cooperating, they were able to assert their dominance in the theatre of war more than ever before. Across planet Earth, the state of the war had now shifted into a new position.

Garma: To my glorious soldiers of New Zeon! This fight has been brought about by the Zabi family. Your parents and children, your loved ones… Their deaths are the responsibility of the Zabi family -- so I am also to be held responsible. However… I will not let their deaths be meaningless. It is for that reason that I stand before you. To bring this war to a decisive end, I ask for you to lend your power to me, and fight alongside me. For the sake of mankind’s future! For the glory of New Zeon!

Dozle: …What a rousing speech, Garma…

Garma: I lack the power that you have, Dozle. But I believe there are things that even I can accomplish.

Dozle: No... I’ve long believed that you could become a capable commander. There are even more amazing things you are capable of accomplishing.

Garma: Haha… Dozle. You flatter me too much. However, to not betray the expectations of our countrymen, I intend to go all out. I’ll prove that I’m not just a child born into high standing.

Tonight's insane idea (before I go to bed): Make a reanimated style do over of the last two episodes of gundam 1979 with Mario characters replacing the originals, entitled 'The Battle of A Bowser Qu'
