good point! and i guess i forget a little about londo bell and amuro's role as a test pilot. lots of amuro stuff happening during zz -> cca that sort of takes place off screen.

"federation victory was the result of our superior mobile suit technology" both downplays newtypes and gives anaheim electronics a little fluffery.

then when that blond space asshole comes back they take amuro off ice and say "go kick this guy's ass. again."

i wonder, like. do they even mention him at all, because to admit one person was instrumental in winning the one year war leads to the question "why" and then -

then we gotta discuss newtypes. and the federation doesn't wanna discuss newtypes.
