Setsuna's obsession isn't so much with a Gundam (a machine) but rather with Gundam (concept/ embodiment of CB's ideals)

Graham's obsession is a gradual evolution throughout the first season. At first it's awe, then admiration, then love, then hate. And by the time the second season comes around, it's just an empty need to destroy it. In other words, his views of Gundam change from a new goal to surpass, to something which must be destroyed to avenge his teammates, to the one thing which always stands in his way and laughs at his futile attempts at vengeance. If you want to hear something interesting, play "union" and all of the variations from the first two OST's in order that they appear in the anime. You can hear Graham's slow corruption into Mr. Bushido.
