THE THEORY (heavy GSD spoilers)
My special present to all my readers...because a lot of the story is predicated on this particular theory...in fact when I created this story at the beginning it was intended to basically be Neo/Mu and Murrue POV only but then I decided that I would expand it to include everyone else's POV as well...so anyway here's a bit of an explanatory note and analysis of the subject:
Neo Lorrnoke and Mu La Flaga are one and the same person.
Reasons For:
1. The 2nd intro (Pride) where Murrue seems to recognise someone (Mu) under Neo's mask and the anguished look on Murrue's face in the 2nd intro does tend to highly suggest so. Also in the first ending (Reason)Murrue is kneeling by Neo's mask. In the 2nd ending (Life goes On) Neo and Murrue are paired with each other as the bigger characters
2. Exus is remarkably like Mobius Zero and both of Neo and Mu can hold up against Co-ords in inferior machines. (be it mobile armour or mobile suit)
3. The Newtype flash...well since only he and Creusetexperienced thisSeed and Creuset is most likely definitely dead being hit by Kira's beam saber and then hit by GENESIS...and Neo also has the newtype flash and Fukada did say that Rau and Mu were the last two newtypes (albeit in a fit of stupidity) but that raises the question what is the relationship between Mu and Rey.
4. In episode 50 La Creuset has a newtype flash just before Kira attacks - since Kira is not a newtype who could he have recognised? It could be that Mu was still alive
5. Helmet removed from the Special Edition of Seed - with the helmet intact he could have survived in vaccum for a while
6. Since Mu is a traitor to the EA, obviously he can't return, but he can return under the mask obviously. Jibril would definitely think that Mu/Neo is too much of a valuable resource to waste b/c he is a good trainer of pilots and a good pilot himself plus he has experience of piloting a Gundam (in the case if he was the original Mu - however unlikely that may be)Thus the mask, keeping his identity secret and avoiding any type of scandal and Jibril would think himself clever for it.
7. Sometimes Neo acts like Mu would have acted - some little mannerisms like the "little kitten" point to them being the same person.
8. To people who say that Neo is Mu's clone - why would Blue Cosmos use a clone when it seems to be pretty much what they are standing against...that is genetic manipulation and growing people artificially.
9. Same seiyuu though that doesn't say much, same blood type, "makes the impossible possible", in the CCG Neo is a NT and Neo and Mu cannot appear together on the field though of course the source could be a good photoshop job
10."Because I don't know what's going to happen in the future, we have no choice but to do what we feel is right at the moment. If we find out later that we've made a mistake, then we'll cry and get angry. And then we'll think of the future again..." in Episode 8 Murrue says this, it is quite obvious that she was referring to the previous war...It was a personal feeling of mine that those words would come back to haunt her somehow...and if Neo was Mu that would definitely do it
Reasons Against:
1. The characterisation isn't quite the same, whilst I think that Mu could have undergone a character change, Neo's character is a bit too different, he is rather more serious than Mu...even though in Ep 16 Neo doesact sempaiishto Stellar which Mu did towards Kira in Seed. However, it is also noted that Neo does waste lives in Ep 16 going up against the Minerva something which Mu would not have done
2. Neo works for Jibril who is evil. Mu would never have worked for BlueCosmos if he survived.Of course they could also come up with some sort of weird brainwashing/amnesiac angle. (I used the amnesiac one in my story)
3. How did Mu survive the direct hit from the Lohengrin Cannon? It is highly unlikely that one can survive such an explosion (even in Seed Destiny where the characters reflect on the death...we do sort of see him die again)
Notes and other stuff
1. Rey is clone of Al da Flaga - a totally working version of Creuset in my opinion perhaps perfected by Dullindal
2. If Neo is Mwu - the dramatic tension would be really good
A/N: So there is evidence for and against this theory...anyway Chapter 11 is done so it will be posted as well but I thought that since this was such a big part I would put it up separately
