MS Gundam: 0083

With innovation and originality in legacy entertainment now relegated to the past, I've been getting my fix from pre-Cultural Ground Zero properties. The best part of revisiting the classics is sharing hidden gems with friends who'd missed them the first time around.

The Death Cult's sole means of interacting with society consists of plunging it into a state of perpetual revolution. That's why the Cult is incapable of building.
