Ehh...I just think Mashima likes Gundam, lol. After all, in both exist characters named Sting (Destiny), Orga (SEED) and Sayla (MSG), so really a resemblance between this guy and Gilbert doesn't really surprise me at all, lol.

And on another note, I really didn't mind Destiny all that much, though I do acknowledge all the problems it had, especially in mobile suit design.
