Chan's actions were justified; it was abnormal for a civilian, even if he was the son of an allied captain, to be in a mobile suit confronting an enemy's giant mobile armor, so there was no reason for her to be blamed. However, when Chan called out "Hathaway, are you alright?" after destroying the Alpha Azieru, Hathaway lost control and began attacking Chan.

The beam saber Hathaway fired directly hit the Re-GZ's cockpit. Thus, Chan also became one of the fallen. Hathaway not only lost someone important to him but also took away someone precious to a person he respected. It's not difficult to imagine how this traumatic experience inflicted a deep wound on his heart.

However... 12 years later, as depicted in the theatrical film "Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway," Hathaway had become the leader of an anti-Earth Federation organization. Despite his painful experience, no viewers at the time could have predicted that the son of a former Earth Federation hero would turn against the Federation.

The anime "Mobile Suit Gundam" is a robot anime produced by Sunrise that aired from April 1979 to January 1980, directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino. It pioneered the "real robot anime" genre and had a significant influence on subsequent anime. The theatrical film "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack" was released in March 1988. It was the first Gundam movie produced as an original theatrical work and is set in Universal Century 0093, 14 years after the events of "Mobile Suit Gundam."
