    Sorry I'm new to Gundam. Are Newtypes like Elans? Is Zelenskyy going to

    spoiler

    be incinerated on his birthday?

    That would be a really interesting development.

      In WfM, Witches are sorta taking the place of Newtypes within the narrative, but they sorta have their own feminist reading inherent to themselves. But basically Suletta is a Newtype.

        Don't new types also have supernatural senses?

        Also I Don't think gundam in UC work like Gundam in wfm.

          Yeah Newtypes are basically espers, they have limited telepathy.

          It's more that Suletta fills the narrative role of "Young person with exceptional abilities thrust into a wider conflict, and is called to use said abilities to resolve the conflict without violence" rather than like, a 1-to-1 lore replacement where you swap nouns, because yeah as you pointed out the mechanics of the worldbuilding is very different between series.
