Chestnut blight is caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (formerly known as Endothia parasitica). The pathogen originates from East Asia, where it occurs as a weak parasite on the resistant Japanese (Castanea crenata) and Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima). In the early 20th century, the fungus was accidentally introduced into the USA with infected plant material, triggering a dramatic epidemic that almost completely eradicated the extensive forests of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) in the eastern USA.
I am assuming because a) Japanese, as the other person said and b) Gundam is where robots in the future fight bad guys, right? So the invasive chestnut species is the bad guy, therefore Gundam
Also maybe Gundam has time travel, idk. I haven’t watched it so I’m pulling this from thin air. I just know Gundam has cool fighting robots
Someone enlighten me pretty please!
