Jazz is improvisational; it is fluid and chaotic. For Io, war is not about duty or justice; it is a high-stakes jam session where he is the soloist. The jazz serves as a psychological buffer. By turning the battlefield into a performance, Io dehumanizes his enemy. He doesn't kill people; he plays the song until the track ends. It represents the arrogance of the Federation pilot who still has the luxury of ego. He is fighting for the "thrill," attempting to drown out the screams of dying soldiers with the brassy wail of a saxophone.
a visually stunning, ultra-gritty masterpiece that redefines the "war is hell" theme of the Universal Century mobile suit gundam thunderbolt december sky
