- Sad to completely agree with Tomino there.
I used to laugh at how weirdly ridiculous the whole "Souls held back by Gravity" phrase sounded when I was younger, but I start to see where Tomino's coming from. People as a community don't want to expand, they want to move inward. EG: Do the exact same thing as before, it only looks and feels a bit different. Even in the future of space, there's still the same boundaries and nationalistic/racial/ideological tendencies
(see: Zeon, the Crossbone Vanguard's Cosmo Babylonia, the Zanscare Empires).
