“Raleigh’s character has three stages that are very very simple. In the first fight he loses a partner. He’s just like, I’m not gonna partner anymore, I’m not gonna be responsible for someone else. Then he discovers Mako, who has an even more tragic story than his. And he gains a partner. And finally he completes the circle at the end of the movie when he saves that partner. So he was unable to save his brother, but now he is saving him. He saves Mako. He becomes the dominant pilot. All the dominant pilots in the Jaeger are on the right hand side. In the fight that Mako is now in his place, so he saves himself. That completed the circle. I wanted to show a circle that needed to be completed.” — Guillermo del Toro -- source link
