Director Shukou Murase, who worked on 'Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway's Flash,' has mentioned in stage greetings and other occasions that the film versions are the official history of the Gundam series, and as this film also contains depictions that differ from the novel, there may be some kind of twist in the third part.
