Gundam Wing question.

I believe Anneke is right. I used to have a bunch of Episode Zero issues lying around. It's where we get people like Midii Une from (no relation to Lady Une I don't think)

As for Heero, I remember hearing something about his real name being Odin Lowe, Jr. or something. But don't quote me.

Where's Heero_Yuy84 to clear this up????

OK...I just want to state off the bat before going any further, Episode Zero is apparently a debatable source of info.
While the manga ARE generally accepted as being canon, there is a section of the fandom that challenges how legitimate they are.

But I digress (personally, I see them as canon)

Are Catherine and Trowa siblings...
According to the manga: Yes, they are brother and sister (his real name being Triton)
Manga aside: I'd still say yes...if not biologically, they have still assumed what appears to be a sibling bond.

Heero Yuy's real name:
According to manga: Technically they never outright said, although BishounenStalker got the name right (it's been assumed as Odin Lowe Jr....but as the manga shows, that might also have been yet another in a series of aliases for him.)
Manga aside: Unknown

(That's the one thing I hate about Wing...the coherency/continuity is shot in comparison to other Gundam series
But, once again, I digress)

Our "Gundam God" comes to the rescue again ^_^

Good point. But then again, there are sections of the Gundam Wing fandom that challenge the legitimacy of just about everything ::shudder::

Even though the manga story wasn't written by the same author as the anime (I don't THINK Sumizawa was behind the manga, was he?), it's still official in some form. A lot more than the "fanon" is.

::shiny chibi eyes:: THANK YOU!!! I'm NOT crazy!!! Or at least if I'm crazy, I'm not the only one! ::is still scratching her head as to why a good percentage of the fandom can't tell the difference between family love and romantic love::

Good point. Hell, at one point he was masquerading as Duo I think (when he enrolled in the Sanq Kingdom's school).

Tell me about it. Though continuity wasn't as much of a problem until the manga got published. Perhaps if the same author as the anime had written, we wouldn't have this problem? I dunno

I haven't been around Gundam Wing for at least a year, so I really can't say. The idiot fans got way too much for my frazzled nerves to deal with.
