By the third act of the series, the Solo Ship has become an undeserving Flying Dutchman – endlessly pursued throughout the cosmos, and attacked whenever they seek landfall, whether by the Buff Clan or by their fellow Humans. However, those worlds end up getting devastated in the fighting. What makes things different is that there are other Human colony worlds and outposts that the Solo Ship tries to turn to to help.

It’s very reminiscent of the early seasons of the new Battlestar Galactica series. The constant onslaught is emotionally and psychologically draining on the refugees. What keeps this from being monotonous is the toll this takes on the ship and her crew. On a few significant occasions, the Ideon spontaneously develops a new ability which saves our protagonists bacon but leaves them less reassured, and more worried about what this ship and robot are. Sometimes this is through the cunning of our protagonists. The Ideon manages to counter the strategy. Part of this plan is some new strategy or weapon they can use to negate the Ideon. The Buff Clan launch an attack against the ship. The Solo Ship and her passengers try to find somewhere, anywhere, to take refuge. This leads to the sort of formula of the series. They can only pose a challenge through numbers and tactics. On their own, they don’t stand a chance against the Ideon. On the other side, the forces of the Buff clan are predominantly made up of Real Robots.

Over the course of the series it ends up wielding a devastating amount of firepower, and it’s practically invulnerable. The Ideon is a combiner, a common trait of Super Robots. The action of the series is what I’d describe as “Super Robot vs. This is the weakest of the Ideon’s attacks. However, she sympathizes with the refugees and offers to help them understand the mysterious ship and the giant robot that is their only defense – naming the robot the Ideon. The refugees find Karala on board the Solo ship and capture her.

The three tanks combine into a giant robot, to the surprise of their pilots, teenagers Cosmo Yuki (Yoku Shioya) and Kasha Imhof (Fuyumi Shiraishi), and refugee child Deck Afta (Tatsuya Matsuda). They load a bunch of weapons on three tanks recovered from the Solo ruins. The human settlers, lead by Bes Jordan (Hideyuki Tanaka), fight back. Fearing the worst, they launch a massive attack on the human settlements, killing hundreds. The leader of the expedition, Karala Ajiba (Keiko Toda), goes to investigate, but her escorts lose track of her. They trace the source of the meteors to Solo, and go to investigate. Meanwhile, the homeworld of an alien race known as the Buff Clan, who are indistinguishable from humans, has also been subject to meteor bombardment. As of the start of the series, an archeological expedition is underway, lead by Sheryl Formosa (Yō Inoue).

This civilization, called the “Solo” civilization after the planet, had a massive city and had even built a starship, along with several vehicles. One of the worlds that Humanity has chosen to settle is one that had been inhabited at some point in the past. Humanity has been forced to increase their interstellar colonization efforts in response. The setting is an unspecified point in the future – sort of. However, the work that started Tomino down this road was Space Runaway Ideon. The normal examples of this are Zeta Gundam, the last half of ZZ Gundam, and Char’s Counterattack. Tomino also has a reputation for his absolute ruthlessness for killing off characters in his work. Anyone who has gone to an anime con and asked a Japanese guest who worked with him for a “Tomino story” can attest to this. His interviews about Brainpowerd in Animerica magazine demonstrate this.

Tomino has a reputation for being full of himself. Yoshiyuki Tomino has something of a reputation as an anime director, for multiple reasons.
