Character Episode 05: The Marriage Proposal At The Airport
Guld went to the airport to see Myung off, as she headed towards the Earth for Sharon's concert at the 30th anniversary memorial ceremony for the end of the war. When Guld proposed to her, Myung held off replying. However, Guld answered "I'm not in a hurry."

Left/Down: The G-resistant pilot suit worn by Guld when he piloted the YF-21. Unlike the Unified Forces pilot suit, it has a largish backpack secured by a harness.

Up: The special helmet is also an interface that connects the wearer and the aircraft, through which the aircraft is controlled.

Down: Guld in the YF-21's cockpit

Up: The piloting of the YF-21, which is controlled by a direct cerebral link, requires a high level of mental concentration. Guld's appearance while piloting the YF-21 is reminiscent of a meditating monk.

Related Matter: The Memories That Guld Shut Away
Guld and Isamu made a vow to "defend Myung at any time". However, the event 7 years earlier tore up the relationship of the two. Since then, Guld has sealed up his memories, Myung has had hurt feelings, and Guld despised Isamu. In relation to the incident, Guld can only remember it in fragments, such as the appearance of Isamu and Myung cuddling close together, and the appearance of someone assaulting Myung. In the midst of the battle on Earth, he recalled the truth - that he himself assaulted Myung. Guld volunteering himself and bringing down the Ghost X-9 may have been to atone for giving Myung a painful experience, and for Isamu to have dared to be misunderstood and resigning himself as-is to the dishonour of being a traitor.

Caption: Guld, who recalled the memories that he had shut away, remembered that it was he himself who had assaulted her.

Caption: The moment that Guld caught the YF-19*, he recalled the unpleasant past that he had sealed up. Guld, who was under the impression that Isamu had lost the exchange, lost his willpower, and hung his head.

* Translator's note: originally was: "The moment that Guld captured the YF-19,".
