Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing: EPISODE ZERO

A collection of brief manga stories provides background on the five Gundam pilots and Relena Peacecraft. It covers the origins of elements later seen in the series, such as Duo Maxwell's nickname "Shinigami" and Quatre Winner's connection to the Maganac mercenaries. These stories show how events before the colony war influenced the characters. Each pilot faced significant hardships as children, experiencing more suffering than most people encounter in their lifetime. Their difficult pasts, including being war orphans, are explored in detail, though these experiences remained unknown to even their fellow pilots.
