Gundam W 1st OPERATION

The following are excerpts from MEGU New 2 New Mobile Suit Report Gundam W 1st OPERATION which came out in 1995 by BiBLOS. On page 18 a character description and notes of growth from his first appearance to Episode 25: Quatre vs. Heero is provided on pages 66 and 67, is Trowa's data, details on his design, and an interview with Shigeru Nakahara.

The Fiery Hurricane That Won't Fear A Premature Death

Other than being a pilot of the Gundam Heavy Arms, his background, real name, and place of origin are all unknown... His age is also unknown. After descending to the ground, he has been hiding his identity by joining a circus troupe, he is a flute virtuoso with the agility to nimbly hop onto a laundry line. A genius strategist... Every aspect of him is mysterious. In contrast, his actions are quite bold, such as attempting a self-destruction show with his Gundam at the circus, suddenly becoming an officer of the enemy OZ, and performing a terrifying triple somersault.

He is usually quiet, unfriendly, and expressionless, but he gradually becomes aware of his comrades and begins to make efforts to foster solidarity in his own way. He secretly hands over the modified Gundam blueprints to Duo and Wu Fei in prison and fights alongside Heero to stop Quatre, who has become a vengeful demon. His self-sacrificing actions successfully stops Quatre's rampage, but he himself is thrown into the depths of space. Knowing Trowa, he might be back on Earth by the time he appears again.

Design Notes:

●Basic Costume
He is the tallest of the five. He wears a simple yet elegant costume that accentuates his slim physique. His long, beautifully shaped legs are particularly impressive.

●Expression
Perhaps it is because of his deep gaze that he seems completely unaffected. Or is this also a mask he wears as a warrior?

●Astro Suit
Having achieved outstanding results, he became an officer in OZ and was ordered by Lady to pilot the new MS Vayeate and fight against Quatre.

●Clown Outfit
In the circus troupe, he plays the role of the clown. The mask covering only half of his face is distinctive, but whose design is it? He appeared in this outfit only in Episode 6.

●Trowa's Binoculars
One of Trowa's tools as an operative.


INTERVIEW
Trowa Barton Role
Shigeru Nakahara

Trowa is a very mysterious character, and I like him. Personally, I'd like to know why Trowa became a Gundam pilot and why he started wearing a mask over his heart. I'd like to see such episodes. Please look forward to Trowa's future.
