The Terrans board the starship, taking the Ideon with them, to escape the Buff Clan and begin their lives as space runaways. Cosmo Yuki is the male lead of Space Runaway Ideon.

He is the pilot of the Ideo-Delta/Sol Conver, and the lead pilot of the Ideon in its combined form. Themes: aliens, ancient aliens, mecha, military, space battles, super robot, tragedy. Many themes from Ideon will be familiar to fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.The producers of Evangelion list Ideon as one of their greatest inspirations.All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.Tomino is known as one of the first mecha anime directors to break out of the mold of the basic good versus evil characterizations that are especially prevalent in mecha series, and with Gundam and its sequel, established that the protagonists and antagonists are really not so different after all. Which is a one of the reasons why he earned the Fan Nickname of the Bald Wizard. The other one is, obviously, that he is bald. However, Tomino is also known as "Kill 'Em All Tomino" for his frequent use of the "Everybody Dies" Ending in a number of his series, much of the main cast gets killed during the Grand Finale. Among these series were Zambot 3, Space Runaway Ideon (where his two expies get killed off), Zeta Gundam, Victory Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, and Aura Battler Dunbine. Ideon probably holds one of the highest body counts in anime, and in fact can be considered as a spiritual prequel to Neon Genesis Evangelion in both the themes the series deal with, and also in the structure of its presentation (one TV series, and two movies). Further adding to his reputation are instances wherein characters were introduced merely to kill them off piecemeal within a few episodes, probably to provide instances of angst for the main character. The instances where this works, and when it doesn't is best left to the judgment of individual viewers. It is alleged that the worst of his tendencies were due to bouts with depression. While a number of his series even in the 1980s did have happy endings, it wasn't until the mid-1990s, after Victory Gundam, that he finally worked through his problems, and consistently avoided killing off entire casts ever since. The later released compilation movies of Zeta Gundam (that he directed) even have had their plots altered to somewhat reduce the level of bloodshed.ĭespite this reputation, Tomino has a habit of following a tragic series with a comedic one, following Zambot 3 with Daitarn 3, Ideon with Xabungle, Aura Battler Dunbine with Heavy Metal L-Gaim, and Zeta Gundam with ZZ Gundam to name a few. He's also been shown to have Papa Wolf traits, as seen when he delivered an epic "Reason You Suck" Speech to a group of people who disparaged Romi Paku for being Korean. Love Hurts is also prevalent in Tomino's Gundam series. In at least two instances, the hero has killed or seen his Love Interest killed in battle, and the love interests of supporting characters have been killed in various senseless manners, or if they're lucky, as part of a Heroic Sacrifice. This leads to the thought that being a Gundam pilot isn't the most dangerous occupation in a Tomino series rather, it's being a Gundam pilot's girlfriend. On the flip side, Characters in a comedy series seem to attract Harems, and get the implied Harem Ending.
