~ Duo's Background ~
Name: Duo Maxwell |
Background:
Duo grew up on the L-2 colony as said in Gundam Wing Episode
Zero, where he was a leader of some renegade orphans after his best
friend Solo (do you see a connection? Solo, Duo?) died from a viral
infection. After the group was found, they were sent to the church
where they all were adopted, except for Duo. During this, we see
where Duo got his hairdo from... I'll just say it involves scissors,
a nun (Sister Helen), and Duo. But anyway it's put into a braid.
After awhile, a war breaks out and the wounded are at the church.
Well, to skip a little, Duo gets/steals a mobile suit (Duo learns
how to drive at age 10!). Well skipping along once more Duo gets
back to see everyone... dead... but somehow that evil nun was still
alive and told Duo boy not to cry moments later she died. Duo got
all upset and started to cry... Well we get into A.C. 195 and of
course the scientist guy that had the gundam gave it to Duo (well
he told Duo to steal it) and he went off to earth. When Duo makes
it to earth he go to the pacific ocean to find that dude Howard...then
we get to the famous meeting of Duo and Herro...as most of us know
Duo shoots Heero two times! Not once! But TWICE! We all know what
happens from there... If you want to know more about Duo's past,
I suggest reading the Zero
Manga I have here at the site.
These are some quotes taken from the Japanese version of Gundam Wing. The Red text is, obviously, the translation.
Kou iu baai, dou mitatte, omae no hou ga warumono
darou. Kega wa nai kai ojousan?
In a situation like this, however you look
at it, you're the one who's the bad guy. You're not hurt are you,
miss?
Heero no mane nanka shitaku wa nai ga.... ore to
issho ni jigoku e ikou ze!
I don't want to copy Heero, but... you're
going with me to hell!
Oretachi baka nan da ze, kitto.
We must be absolute idiots.
Naa, Wufei, sabishii jya nee ka! Saigo made tsukiatte
kure yo!
Hey, Wufei, I'm lonely! Keep me company
till the end!
Gundam... Gundam wa na, makeru wake ni wa ikanainda!
Gundam... Gundam it was a trap, to be defeated
on the battle field alas!
Shinigami ga jigoku kara mai modotte kita ze!
Shinigami has returned from hell!
Waga 'Kasan zenki nani mo shounen nakigoe.
My mother said Boys don't cry.
Doushi tensuu... doushi tetsu... doushi kurete issai,
datte doushi kesshite anou ato rai... Duo Maxwell!
He runs... he hides... he does everything,
but he never lies...Duo Maxwell!
Colony no heiwa no tame dattara, yorokonde shinigami

For the peace of the the Colonies, I'll
gladly become the God of Death!

Stop making me repeat myself! It's bad for
my health!
