![Japan. Gundam itself is often seen as
reflecting generational conflict through the Newtypes. So what are Tomino's own thoughts on the "father never hit me" line?
"I am conscious of the scene's importance, because children need certain discipline," says Tomino. He cites European boarding-school culture, with children living together in dormitories, and its own version of senpai- kohai hierarchy. Tomino makes clear he's not talking about the extremes of old-style discipline, such as the days when parents could whip their children. However, he suggests that cultures which roundly denounce the discipline of older generations as violence will use other forms of violence themselves. "It is a one-sided opinion to assume everything as violence... Not using physical violence seems kind, but that is not always true. At some point in life, human beings have to overcome pains; at least in drama and fiction, surely they are okay [to be represented]. Do you think that idea is wrong?" Tomino asks. I say I'll think about it and
Tomino chuckles.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fjd473g6vz33y66dz56d3hoj/bafkreife64ilplnlzu3onw6uobm33zij2cdiktb5hymewaqrm4finjr7hi)
![ANIMERICA (JULIE): I was wondering if you weren't saying something about it being easier for women to tap into Newtype abilities than men. Or about women being more automatically Newtype because they have a greater connection to nature?
TOMINO: When a man attains everything, becomes absolute victor in a situation, there comes a moment where he doesn't have the sensation of having attained everything or actually having won. So when it comes to a relationship between a man and a woman...
ANIMERICA (TOSHI): [LAUGHS] Wait. English is constructed backwards from Japanese so I can't make this work. [DISCUSSES TO CLARIFY]
(resumes): No matter how a man might dominate a woman, he may attain the upper hand, but even so there's a moment where he wants to be loved by the person he's won over, to be cared for, even treated like a child by the person he's defeated or won over.
It's not an exact match, but I have an example of something that pertains to that situation. Something that came to light whether Adolf Hitler died from a bomb or committed suicide. There are facts coming out that he actually married his lover Eva [Braun] the previous day. Another story is about Josef Stalin-the most treasured possession he had until the day he died was a picture of children playing that he cut out of a newspa
Looked at from the standpoint of being a male, this is part of
the emotional makeup that's very fragile, that we all have. I didn't know those two examples when I wrote those lines for Char, but deep down, any dictator would want a moment of weakness or a moment of peace. Those are the kind of things I had racing through my mind when I wrote that line. Although I can't explain your question that well, those are the things I had going through my head when I wrote that line. And in no way does Char favor the attentions of little girls! [LAUGHS]
ANIMERICA (MARK): This has been illuminating. I'll think about the deeper meaning of the stories](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fjd473g6vz33y66dz56d3hoj/bafkreiajnmxropewobvwz276gwzfsl7675ewbhxenuruaz7ikdbtxiyusy)
