Let me reverse the statements with questions. Do all good pilots must come from Mobius 1? And those good aces after him who flew Raptors have to be his students? That's just plain silly. Anyone can be a master with enough effort. If the statement that all good pilots must have been a student of an earlier good ace, only the half decent pilots would remain in this world. Not all great World War aces create flight schools after the wars. They don't always want to share their knowledge, and thus their skills died with them. It's actually questionable that Moby was the best ace, just like how it's questionable that Cipher did existed. If you count skills just based on the kill records, Garuda team and the whole Republic of Emmeria Air Force were even stronger. They killed way more Estovakians than ISAF destroyed Erusians. Names such as Mobius 1 was just a callsign, not a personality. Anyone can become Mobius 1. How can you be so sure that the "Mobius 1" was just a single pilot, and not a group of skilled pilots who get constantly revolved around the squadrons as Mobius 1 to maintain the skills? ISAF learned the mistake of Belkan Air Force, that is constantly putting their most skilled aces to the frontline and tiring them out in the process. Their loss would be close to unrecoverable. Using just one Mobius 1 would be extremely risky. If he was unlucky and gets shot down in one mission, the whole ISAF would collapse behind him. We are told that it was just one pilot, but militaries always have secrets and mind manipulations. Having multiple Mobius Ones is much safer and gives the impression of constant presence in the field. The formation of Mobius Squadron in the final mission gives the final clue. There were many Mobius Ones.
