I don't think that they could have used more suitable imagery that the ones presented here. Alfred is drawn with a wide smile indicating youthfulness. All these items are essentials for fighting in modern times and are drawn in a pastel-like style, once again illustrating immaturity. Hinting on the reoccurring themes of contrast and irony, a missile, gun and knife are all miraculously fit into a tight pocket, reflecting on the tight budget of nations during times of war. The thing is, these toys mimic weapons of war. Here, Alfred's pocket is exposed, stuffed with several toys. A picture is shown at the midsection of each episode, where the title-drop is present. The title alone is enough to induce brainstorming. The way the story is structured is genius, where a realistic situation allows for the maturity of an unassuming child. Here on, a friendship is built upon misunderstandings and lies. Given by Alfred's clueless nature, he agrees to help Bernand collect information almost as a game. Bernand takes advantage of his situation and thereby uses cunning techniques to obtain intel from Alfred, in any way that he can. It is by this concurrence that a mutual understanding is shared between these people, where a gap in age and social standing allows for a contrast in power to be present. This confrontation is highly symbolic, portrayed by the falling light from Bernand onto Alfred, hinting on potential salvation in the future. Alfred ran towards the falling Zaku (enemy mech) without being fazed, as he is still unaware that there are two sides in a war. The train of mendacity is finally altered with the fated encounter of Bernand, a Zeon (enemy) soldier who has crashed into a forest after a battle within the colony. This is sign of boisterous nature and one that characterises his innocence, unaware that this is exactly what could occur at any time in reality. He ends up shooting down his own school, home and town. However, while playing, he goes against what the game tells him to do, still repeating the words. He then proceeds to repeat 'Yes, mom' to every little action in his room, such as while playing a video game.

After agreeing with every word of hers, she tells him that 'You're just full of the right answers today'. When Alfred returns home at the start of the series, he encounters his mother, who provides him with demands such as to complete his homework. Similarly, irony is used to an almost sarcastic degree. These include different items placed in shopping windows, detailed alterations in nuances proving discomfort and abrupt happenings at the end of the entire sequence. If you play close enough attention, there are small changes which show the progression of disaster, foreshadowing the climax of the story. There is a reoccurring scene in the beginning of each odd episode, showing the daily routine of citizens in the morning. It all agglutinates into mass irrationality. Likewise, a greater importance is placed on arbitrary ordeals, such as ignoring that one irritating girl in class or proving whether a military badge that they found was real. While this may seem unrealistic- and it is- we have got to remember that these kids have not yet understood death nor destruction.

Mirroring this, the children are in awe of the battles, eagerly waiting for the next one to occur within their site. The demeanor of the children is reminiscent of those isolated in an authoritarian state, where people are blind to what is happening across the borders. Right from the get-go, we can see that schoolchildren are highly uneducated about the war surrounding them most of which are not even aware that two opposing sides exist. What follows is a coming of age story about overcoming loss and the pointlessness of warfare.

One of these people is Alfred, a 10 year old boy who is still full of dreams and hasn't yet understood the gruesome reality around him. War in the pocket diverts from the norm and instead focuses on Side 6, a neutral colony in space consisting of peaceful civilians. Lesser emphasis is placed on what is happening in the background of the stories, separate from the pilots who control them.

Gundam is a series that usually relies heavily on action to show off the designs of the mechs, which are the main selling point of the franchise. This way, some horrific stories remain hidden without record and linger profusely in the wounded hearts of many. Without offering any sort of resistance in most cases, civilians are defenseless against the cruelties which are present at these times. Sometimes, the best war stories are not told from the perspective of the people who fight, but from those who don't. 'War does not determine who is right - only who is left' -Bertrand Russell
