Ok. This story is REALLY messed up. Characters like Christina, the Frosts,... Appear for some chapters with no significant, then they just die. The story sometime feel unlogical... But maybe that is what hold me to this story. Just read and read without caring what is ahead. Also, love the Amuro/Rondo thing! Can't wait for the final battle!

Hola que tal? Antes que nada un saludo…bien he estado leyendo tu historia que me encontré de casualidad mientras andaba buscando Fics buenos sobre Gundam, que casi no hay…y déjame decirte que el tuyo es GENIAL! Con letras mayores… la idea de usar al Todopoderoso un personaje de Marvel pero igualmente muy justificable para poder realizar el Crossorver es genial. Solo de la mano de un personaje tan Omnipotente como el todopoderoso podría venir a darse este estupendo cruce.
Me gustan sobre todo las interacciones entre distintos personajes y como estos dan a conocer a los otros sus historias sobre ellos, y sus mundos. Además de la comparación entre tecnologías de diferentes mundos es gustazo que muy pocas lecturas de cruce entre series mecha cuentan. Aunque hay cosas un tanto que no agradaron y creo yo tampoco a un público en general y son las muertes de los personajes, aunque es algo justificable pues están en una guerra y eso siempre ha sido uno de los temas a tratar dentro del universo de Gundam, la guerra es mala, es estúpida, trae desgracias a los ambos lados, pero igual es un “mal” necesario para que la humanidad avance. Trayendo consigo lo peor y lo mejor del ser humano, y es uno de los temas que me fascinan de Gundam y tú sabes explayarlo bien.
Aunque no me gusto la temprana muerte de Char Aznable, acá Quattro Bajjina. Pienso que él pudo haber dado para más, y tener más interacciones con Amuro, quizás no tantas para hacerse amigos pero si tratar de perdonarse mutuamente los errores cometidos y querer avanzar, una lástima por su salida temprana y creo cabreastes a muchos fans de Char (yo incluido xD…) pero igual es tu Fic y tu justificas y haces lo que quieras, aunque su muerte no me pareció la más “apropiada”. Debería haber tenido otra mejor pero en fin…es tu decisión y es respetable. Igual me dolió la muerte de Christina Mackenzie aunque si tuvo un mejor final que Char, dándole muerte a Treize y vengando a su novio
Y Amuro ray! Uno de mis protagonistas favoritos de todos los tiempos, realmente quede encantado con tu caracterización! Muy buena! Y le das un papel de cuasi protagonista lo cual me encanta! Ojala no muera y quede vivo para ver el final, que por una vez el destino sea capaz de ser vencido (no queremos eso acaso todos los humanos? Luchar contra el destino?) y quizás que piense en la propuesta de Rondo, que no me parece nada mal por una vez que ojala Amuro pueda conseguir un final feliz que en su universo no pudo, al menos en este Fic seria lindo que lo alcanzase, y hasta podría pensar que este Fic podría llegar a formar parte de la historia original dentro de mi cabeza xD…
Por cierto que otro villanos saldrán? Deberías colocar más, y así estos quedar en igualdad numérica respeto a sus contrapartes que son muchos más. Uno de estos que deberías incluir seria a Ribbobs Almark en el villano de Gundam 00. Con su mente manipuladora, es además uno de los mejores adversarios que tuvieron en ese universo, ya que cuenta con todo y Gundam poderoso. También a personajes sádicos que serían un contrapeso a Michelo como Ali Al Sarchezz de Gundam 00 o Yazan Gable de Zeta Gundam. El sadismo de ambos y el gusto por las batallas los convertirían en adversarios poderosos a sus contrapartes. Y también quizás se te paso por la cabeza no has pensado en Jerid Messa? Digo ahora que Kamille Bidan está presente y aunque no se sabe si vaya a combatir, seria genial un reencuentro entre los poderosos rivales que fueron en Zeta, no crees?
Bien, como posiblemente vaya a haber muertes, pues no sería Gundam sino lo fuera, posiblemente pienses en reemplazos, no has pensado en usar a los pilotos de Celestial Being? Lo digo más por Setsuna F Seiei, que es un personaje muy interesante que puede ser usado, sobre todo por sus traumas y sus parecidos con Heero Yui, sería interesante una “charla” entre los dos si el encuentro llega a darse. Pero eso ya sería decisión tuya, si es que ya entramos a finales de la historia, aunque quizás esto de para una “temporada” mas, pequeña cuando acabe la batalla apocalíptica que habrá cuando luchen contra el diablo Gundam, que ojala sea Épica
Eso sería todo, gracias por la atención, y saludos, esperado cuando saques un nuevo capítulo.
Adiós

Hello how are you? First of all greetings ... well I've been reading your story I found it by chance while I was looking Fics good about Gundam, there are hardly any ... and let me tell you that yours is GREAT! With older letters ... the idea of using the Almighty a Marvel but also very justifiable to perform the Crossorver is great. Only the hand of a character as Almighty as the Almighty could come to be the great crossing.
I particularly like the interactions between different characters and how they get to meet other stories about them and their worlds. Besides comparison between different technologies worlds is great pleasure that few readings intersection wick feature series. Although there are things somewhat and I think that did not please me either to a general public and are the deaths of the characters, although it is somewhat justifiable because they are in a war and that has always been one of the topics within the universe of Gundam , war is bad, stupid, brings misery to both sides, but it is still a "bad" necessary for humanity to progress. Bringing the worst and best of human beings, and is one of the topics that fascinate me explayarlo Gundam and you know well.
Although I did not like the early death of Char Aznable Quattro Bajjina here. I think he could have given for more, and have more interactions with Amuro, maybe not so much to make friends but if you try to forgive each other mistakes and wanting to go, too bad for her early release and I think many fans cabreastes Char ( xD ... myself included) but it is still your Fic and you justify and do what you want, but his death did not seem the most "appropriate". Should have had a better one but anyway ... it's your decision and is respectable. Like death hurt although Christina Mackenzie had a better ending than Char, killing him and avenging Treize her boyfriend
And Amuro ray! One of my favorite actors of all time, really be delighted with your characterization! Very good! And you give him a quasi protagonist role which I love! Hopefully not die and stay alive to see the end, which for once the destination is able to be up (do not want that all humans perhaps? Fight against fate?) And perhaps think Rondo's proposal, that I seems not bad once by Amuro hopefully can get a happy ending in the universe could not, at least in this Fic reached it would be nice, and may even think that this could Fic part of the original story in my head xD ...
Certainly other villains will? You should post more, and so these numerical equality be in respect to their counterparts that many more. One of these you should include a Ribbobs serious villain Almark in Gundam 00. With his manipulative mind, is also one of the best opponents they had in that universe, because it has everything and powerful Gundam. Sadistic characters also be a counterweight to Michelo as Ali Al Sarchezz Gundam 00 or Yazan Gable of Zeta Gundam. The sadism of both and a taste for the battles become powerful adversaries to their counterparts. And also maybe you step on the head have not thought about Jerid Messa? I say now that Kamille Bidan is present and although it is not known if going to fight, it would be great a reunion between powerful rivals who were in Zeta, is not it?
Well, as possibly there will be deaths, but it would not be Gundam it was, possibly think about replacements, you have not thought of using pilots from Celestial Being? I say more by Setsuna F Seiei, which is a very interesting character that can be used, especially for their traumas and their similarities with Heero Yui would be interesting a "talk" between the two if the meeting comes to shop.
But that would be up to you, if we enter the end of the story, though perhaps this in to a "season" more, smaller when apocalyptic battle ends when combat will the Devil Gundam, which hopefully is epic
That would be all, thank you for the attention, and greetings, expected when you take a new chapter.

Can I just say I love the amount of attention you put into this? The character interactions, the mobile suits both in and out of battle and the general quality of writing are all really good.
Completely unrelated, if /when Heero comes back with Zero, I kind of want to see what Turn A and Stargazer make of the thing. We've seen that it's borderline sentient, if terrible for a pilot's sanity. Three AIs (actually 4, if Hachi counts) has the potential to be pretty interesting.

I have a feeling that if and when Heero comes back with Wing Zero Custom, Gato and maybe Johnny are going to point and laaaaaaaugh. Or, at least, until it Buster Rifle fires for the first time.
More seriously, I'm glad that you have these upgrade chapters in which the characters just talk about mobile suits. A lot of Gundam fanfics never go into the technical stuff that Gundam is rich in (though some overdo the tech talk).

I did not expect Heero's departure. I was figuring that he would pilot Zeta Gundam. That just raises the question of who will pilot Zeta.
One other question I have is are you using the Gundam Wing TV series's design for Wing Zero, or are you using the Hajime Katoki "Endless Waltz" design (alias Wing Zero custom)? Epyon and Tallgeese II have ver. Ka redesigns that are not as much of a deviation from the TV series' depiction as Zero, so there's not much to go on from them.

**I'm not sure if the way the Celestial Being Gundams work with regard to Veda in 00 technically fits the definition of a dumb terminal, but it seemed close enough to be worth exploring from that perspective. And, of course, laying some groundwork for things to come...
I rather think it's just a control system, rather than necessary, or even useful. A lot of Celestial Being stuff is meant purely to keep Gundams in line: both Exia and Nadleeh are based on the concept of anti-Gundam, with Nadleeh having general operations hardware built on top of it, and Exia's anti-Gundam functions are it's primary weapons system. Not to mention, Feldt and Christina develop a Veda-free OS to run the Gundams on, so it's utterly unnecessary, and those two completely human, so it's not unreasonable that Kira could fix it... even if I think that duplicating their efforts in a tiny fraction of the time is far too fast, even for a top-notch coordinator.
If anything, the issue is Trans-AM. It's supposed to be a super-secret black-box system. If it's ever mentioned by name in the OS, then something is wrong. Even if the OS has the basic elements required to install and operate it built into it as part of the standard GN-Drive integration system (most of which they shouldn't understand, either, so it raises no additional questions), the OS is not made by people aware of Trans-AM, so it should not be mentioned by name. (And, technically, if the OS is written in machine code, like it's supposed to be, there shouldn't be any written language involved at all, other than the "Trans-AM" graphic, though this involves a greater understanding of programming than the average reader would possess.) I mean, if Kira can work out about Trans-AM this easily, then there's no reason the engineers that made the Gundams could not know about it.
...Not that Trans-AM is ever explained as anything noteworthy or interesting. It's GN Nitro.
**"So if we turn it on and any of your buddies show up, they get to share the power-up?" Kamille asked.
I don't think that makes sense. Allelujah is getting Trans-AM because Kira is modifying *Kyrios*, not Veda. Unless the system flag includes "or someone reverse engineers Trans-AM" (which is pretty likely for Aeolia), but this requires Veda to be present to activate it. Or the Beyonder modifies his computer to approve it for all GN Drives in it's communications range, but, again, that's a secondary action, not something that directly happens as a result of activating Trans-AM in Kyrios. It's not an obvious result.

I have just finished reading from the beginning of this fanfic to the current chapter, and the first thing that pops into my mind is this: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?
Ever since I became a fan of mecha anime (including Gundam, of course), I have always, ALWAYS wanted to read a massive crossover like this that pits various different machines and pilots against each other. Despite all my searching, I never found anything...until this fanfic, which is pretty much everything I could have dreamed of! Oh, where to start?
First of all, I loved the way you used the Beyonder from Marvel Comics to stage the setting. While I'm only vaguely familiar with his character, I do agree that he is the perfect sort of "deus ex machina" to explain this kind of massive crossover in a way that isn't silly or ridiculous. (Honestly, I'm surprised that other people haven't thought of something similar in other fandoms.) Also, I generally like omnipotent yet sad characters like him, who try to understand the complicated minds and feelings of humans. I'm really looking forward to see what kind of conclusion about all these events he'll come up with at the end of this story.
And then there is the central reasons for all this that you recently revealed; to understand human love. Of all the themes you could have picked, nothing else is so important to a Gundam story (or any mecha anime, in my opinion) than the theme of "love" and all the difficulties which surround it, which I applaud you on. I also found the way you categorized the characters in terms of "kinds" of love interesting, as it really does fit many of their characters, regardless of whether they're "heroes" or "villains". (Kira does fit that definition of self-love in a funnily twisted way, though personally I'd argued that his case is more complicated. At the very least, he has matured beyond his self-conflicted issues that are at the root of this by the end of GSD.) Anyway, since you brought this up, I assume you have a final point to make about "love" that will come up at the story's end, which from what I've seen so far of your writing will not disappoint. ;)
And then, there's the character interactions. Oh, the character interactions! When I read that Newtype scene where Kira and Amuro first met, my heart skipped a beat! That is the kind of thing I have always imagined in my long crossover daydreams, and you did it so perfectly and expressed all the right sentiments between them, so much that I wish that someone would actually animate this, despite the sheer impossibility. And this scene was just one that gave me this feeling. Really, the ways the characters talk to each other and how they get along are what really makes this enjoyable to read for me, because THAT is what makes combining different timelines together so interesting: seeing the various thoughts, emotions and viewpoints collide with each other and through that interaction give birth to something that would never have been otherwise. This fanfic has rewarded me several times over in this regard, for which I cannot help but thank you as a fan of Gundam.
But now to the darker parts of the story. Or rather, the Tomino-style executioner's scythe you've been using. I cried many times when main characters died (Loran's death was especially cruel), but I understand why killed off characters that were important enough that they didn't die in their original timelines. To put it simply: it wouldn't really be Gundam without deaths, and since there's no convenient side characters to play that role in a world with only carefully selected characters of importance, it just had to be this way. Still, one comment; while I can accept Char's death (despite the ignoble manner of it that didn't fit his character), I really wish he had interacted more with Amuro before that. It's not that I expected them to be buddies, but I would have liked to see a little less volatile conversation between them and more honest argument. I especially would have liked to see the matter of Char's Rebellion discussed in detail, because the past Char's reactions on this are something that I think would have been truly fascinating. Still, what's done is done, so all we can do is move on.
Next, my favorite characters. Amuro is a given, since I've always loved his character and seeing him as a "adult" among kid pilots like he used to be is both funny and interesting. At the same time, I've really come to like your characterization of Johnny Ridden, though I never heard of him before this. He is the kind of Zeon soldier I always liked to see in the original Gundam, and I really hope he doesn't die before the end, since I'd like to see what comes about from his little "plan" to change the Universal Century. (Though my gut is telling that you, like any writer in your position would, will thwart him in the end, since changing timelines involves a whole bunch of more work and would complicate things greatly for the other timelines. Still, I can hope, can't I?)
Also, the issue of the Dark History. Honestly, I never really liked that part of Turn A, since combining all the Gundam histories seems somehow sacrilegious to me in a way I can't explain, but I'm glad that your explanation of it was at least sensible and put together logically. It complicates the issue I just brought up above, but that also makes the whole thing more interesting, doesn't it? I'm interested in how you're going to resolve all this by the end, with the Beyonder's promise of letting them keep their memories. (Again, getting a bad gut feeling about this, but I will suppress it for now and enjoy the story.)
Finally, some little comments on what's to come. Firstly, a request: please, PLEASE don't put Kira in the Devil Gundam like Rau wants! I know you may use SOMEONE for the task, but I hope you spare Kira at least, since he is one character that I'd really hate to see so corrupted like that. Also, on that note, I'd really like to see Rau fighting Amuro! That kind of match-up is too good to pass up, as Rau is someone so far gone into the darkness that he can't even compare to Char. Seeing the Newtype battle between will definitely be great to read. Lastly, I don't know whether you ultimately intend to let Amuro live or die, but I hope you at least resolve Rondo's little proposal to him in a way that is satisfactory, without simply leaving the issue in the air because he's dead.
Well, there's more I'd like to say, but I've probably rambled on enough for now. Can't wait to read the next chapter when it comes out!

This fanfic has rewarded me several times over in this regard, for which I cannot help but thank you as a fan of Gundam.
But now to the darker parts of the story. Or rather, the Tomino-style executioner's scythe you've been using. I cried many times when main characters died (Loran's death was especially cruel), but I understand why killed off characters that were important enough that they didn't die in their original timelines. To put it simply: it wouldn't really be Gundam without deaths, and since there's no convenient side characters to play that role in a world with only carefully selected characters of importance, it just had to be this way. Still, one comment; while I can accept Char's death (despite the ignoble manner of it that didn't fit his character), I really wish he had interacted more with Amuro before that. It's not that I expected them to be buddies, but I would have liked to see a little less volatile conversation between them and more honest argument. I especially would have liked to see the matter of Char's Rebellion discussed in detail, because the past Char's reactions on this are something that I think would have been truly fascinating. Still, what's done is done, so all we can do is move on.
Next, my favorite characters. Amuro is a given, since I've always loved his character and seeing him as a "adult" among kid pilots like he used to be is both funny and interesting. At the same time, I've really come to like your characterization of Johnny Ridden, though I never heard of him before this. He is the kind of Zeon soldier I always liked to see in the original Gundam, and I really hope he doesn't die before the end, since I'd like to see what comes about from his little "plan" to change the Universal Century. (Though my gut is telling that you, like any writer in your position would, will thwart him in the end, since changing timelines involves a whole bunch of more work and would complicate things greatly for the other timelines. Still, I can hope, can't I?)
Also, the issue of the Dark History. Honestly, I never really liked that part of Turn A, since combining all the Gundam histories seems somehow sacrilegious to me in a way I can't explain, but I'm glad that your explanation of it was at least sensible and put together logically. It complicates the issue I just brought up above, but that also makes the whole thing more interesting, doesn't it? I'm interested in how you're going to resolve all this by the end, with the Beyonder's promise of letting them keep their memories. (Again, getting a bad gut feeling about this, but I will suppress it for now and enjoy the story.)
Finally, some little comments on what's to come. Firstly, a request: please, PLEASE don't put Kira in the Devil Gundam like Rau wants! I know you may use SOMEONE for the task, but I hope you spare Kira at least, since he is one character that I'd really hate to see so corrupted like that. Also, on that note, I'd really like to see Rau fighting Amuro! That kind of match-up is too good to pass up, as Rau is someone so far gone into the darkness that he can't even compare to Char. Seeing the Newtype battle between will definitely be great to read. Lastly, I don't know whether you ultimately intend to let Amuro live or die, but I hope you at least resolve Rondo's little proposal to him in a way that is satisfactory, without simply leaving the issue in the air because he's dead.
Well, there's more I'd like to say, but I've probably rambled on enough for now. Can't wait to read the next chapter when it comes out!

You know, I never noticed that the Destiny was bleeding blood red from the eyes, you figure I would remember something like that, well no predictions or questions from me this time just a good job, and hope for a faster update

Shinn gets Shining Finger? This story is now composed of 100% winning.
I feel bad for Shiro though :(
Yay! Garrod gets Gundam X!
And now you made me curious as to what unit Johnny will be using. Something later than OYW, obviously, but I wonder just how far forward it will be.
Awesome chapter, but one question. In the assigned units, why is Destiny listed with model number, but Freedom and Gaia aren't?
