the thing about treize is ideologically hes the most sympathetic and correct gundam character, as in, that losing is beautiful and being the strongest never moved the hearts of anyone and staying true to your struggle is what matters. but then he applies this philosophy to The Army

and then he decides wu fei will carry on his legacy because he is the worst judge of character in space

Then Wufei joined the Hitler Youth.

Treize correctly identifies that there's no greater loser than Wu Fei. And he's right on the money, it's not like Duo went and joined the hitler youth.

Wufei meanwhile does not even know this guy besides "he goaded me into leaving my mobile suit to engage in a sword fight and I lost and that anger propelled me through like half the show."

he thinks he can pass on his will to wu fei by looking at him and doing this

incredible creative decision to let Wu Fei, the sorest ass loser in space willing to fight for any other loser in space, be the driving force for half the conflict in the show + movie
