| Had anyone read it? Or all the manga? They are pretty hard to get in decant condition. I love this one because of the back stories! Episode Zero reveals a generous amount of what led the five protagonists of Wing to become Gundam pilots and what occurrences shaped some of the traits they are best known for. It also features notable information on certain other key characters and events that composed the Gundam Wing story. One of the most prominent tales of the bunch is told within Issues 2 and 3, in which it's discovered that a younger Heero once fought alongside Odin Lowe -- the man who, years earlier, had made the attack on the real Heero Yuy. A battlefield assault by Heero later on in the tale puts Treize in the hospital, where he would be tended to by Leia Barton -- the future mother of his child (who would become the main antagonist of the Endless Waltz story that takes place years later). The stories involving Trowa Barton and Wufei Chang are, unexpectedly enough, romantic tragedies, as each meet young women who will have significant impacts on their lives. Trowa's story also implies that Catherine Bloom, the circus performer he meets during the series, is in fact his long lost sister who he was separated from during an attack by the Alliance which presumably killed their parents. The focus is more on origin in the cases of Duo Maxwell and Quatre Raberba Winner. Duo Maxwell is revealed to not be Duo's given name. Instead, "Duo" was bestowed on him by a childhood friend named Solo who was suffering from a dire illness, and "Maxwell" was taken afterwards from a kind priest named Father Maxwell who ran an orphanage along with Sister Helen. Sister Helen and Father Maxwell played a large role in the childhood of Duo, acting in parental roles until they and the entire orphanage were made casualties of an Alliance attack on rebels within the church despite young Duo's best efforts. Quatre, in contrast, has possibly the least tragic past out of all the pilots. Contrary to what he believes, he is not in fact the product of test-tube reproduction (however, his many sisters are). His mother, Quatrine, died in childbirth due to complications from living in space affecting the body's ability to give birth safely. As he refers to himself as a test-tube child in the series, it can be assumed his father and sisters never told him about his mother. The histories of the two Peacecraft family members, Relena and Zechs Merquise, are unveiled as well. As the Sanq Kingdom fell, only two members of the royal family survived: Zechs and Relena. Relena was adopted by the Dorlian family and raised as their own. The manga also features undetailed cameos from notable characters in the series, such as Lucrezia Noin and Sally Po. Toward the end, the five heroes gather for a brief new mission that's set after Endless Waltz, an event that's anticlimactic but ends with a promising connotation. It all concludes with an affectionate parting message from writer Sumizawa himself to the fans of Gundam Wing. |

I love it. It really gives you great insight into the chraracters past and helps you understand the series more. |
| I kinda like Heero's story...I think I was just intrigued with how it connected to Treize, Zechs, and Noin at the same time. Duo's made me kinda sad... |

| I own Episode Zero, Ground Zero and Blind Target. Bought them a number of ears ago in great condition ^_^ --> Brand new. Bought them from Right Stuf international, not sure if their still selling them. But you could try there too. I love Blind Target the best. |

| I want to read all the Gundam Wing manga. I have the Gundam Wing volume 1-3. So I just need Episode Zero, Ground Zero, Blind Target, Battlefield of the Pacifists, and Endless Waltz. I also hope that they bring Gundam Wing Frozen Teardrop to America when it is finished; I want to read that so bad. |

| Zeonic Scanlations are doing all Gundam novels and manga. They're even the licensed ones because the companies had them 'mirrored' for left-to-right reading and they're fixing that problem. |
