Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam/YMMV


 * Alas Poor Villain: have all been known to provoke this sort of response.
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: Quite a few.
 * /Quattro: Complete jerk ass who is ready to lie and try to bed  just for fun, or is he a perfectly human character that can be charismatic to many people but is useless one-on-one when it comes to stuff aside from combat?
 * Jerid: An anti-Char: blonde hair, likes red, and instead of  Or was he supposed to be a joke-rival from the start, who just scored a few lucky wins early on?  ... You can't
 * Reccoa:  Or was that bit of both?   Up to the watcher.
 * Scirocco:
 * He's also a compulsive liar. And, you know, EVIL.
 * Does his stated desire to create a world ruled by a woman stem from a belief that they're less warlike? Or did he actually have a desire to be The Man Behind The Woman, considering the fact that he's a glorified pickup artist who finds them easy to manipulate and does manipulate emotionally-unstable ladies like Sarah  to be insanely devoted to him?
 * Calling Your Attacks: Happens once, at the end of the third movie.
 * Complete Monster: Yazan Gable and Bask Om.
 * Creepy Awesome: Paptimus Scirocco. He's a sexual predator and mind rapist, and yet despite that--or because of it--he's one of the most effective, well-liked villains in the franchise.
 * Die for Our Ship (Fa has been bashed often and for a REALLY long time by Kamille x Four fans.)
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Scirocco and Four are both really prone to this.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse Apolly, to an extent. He had by far the most character of the minor cast and  Almost everyone who watched the show likes him, but it really didn't come apparent until him and the other minor Z Gundam pilots were removed in the Super Robot Wars games to make room for the Gundam ZZ pilots. Thankfully, him and Roberto help represent Zeta Gundam in SRW Z and SRW 64 as well.
 * Also Emma and Henken are still extremely popular characters in the fandom. It might have something to with the fact that the two are likable, (mostly) rational adults that don't wangst or annoy the cast and watchers, and are overall healthy mentally and emotionally. Also fans found the fact that Gentle Giant Henkin having a crush on Action Girl Emma was adorable.
 * Haman Karn for being seen as awesome, piloting a cool suit, sexy, her bitchiness, being a good pilot or all of the above. She's especially popular on 4chan's mecha board where she's hailed as the Queen of /m/.
 * Foe Yay: Between Haman and Char.
 * Fridge Horror: Kamille, on average, kills two people an episode.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Kamille Bidan. Four Murasame is one as well; no matter how sorry you feel for her, she's still a selfish teenage witch who burns down Hong Kong while laughing about it in her first appearance.
 * Love to Hate: Yazan Gable and Paptimus Scirocco.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Paptimus Scirocco and Haman Khan go back and forth on this one.
 * Memetic Mutation: "Lieutenant Quattro - He Is ACHAR"
 * Zeta PAUNCH!
 * Kamille is also SICK OF ADULTS AND THEIR LIES.
 * Memetic Molester: Yazan "I'M GONNA VIOLATE YOU" Gable. There's also the early episode where he checked how "excited" rookie pilot Adol was about their mission. With his hand.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Basque crosses this in the 3rd episode  and somehow only gets worse further on.   has hers when she gasses a civilian colony and Jerid arguably has one when he kills a defenseless   for no reason.
 * Kamille's dad Franklin was a HUGE Jerkass and he showed it via slapping his wife Hilda when she calls him out on his shit and, but it really shines when
 * Narm: At the end of "Half Moon Love" Kamille's contorting and tortured face, after realizing Sarah had escaped, makes him look like a stoner.
 * The sheer amount of times people are beating the crap out of each other. There's a video on youtube that's 7 minutes long consisting of nothing but people slapping and punching each other.
 * The often repeated line about people from Earth having "souls weighed down by gravity." It doesn't matter what you're trying to imply guys, the minute you say that line it becomes impossible to take you seriously.
 * Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: Beltorchika in her second appearance. Not only she's more mature and humble than she used to be, but actually earns a Crowning Moment of Awesome via
 * The Scrappy: Katz Kobayashi. Some people cheered when he.
 * Reccoa becomes one of these in record time following her  and the reasoning for it.
 * Selfish Evil: Reccoa Londe.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Katz
 * Wangst (Kamille, especially. It's not even a girl's name, you know)
 * Four, Beltorchika, and Katz are all prone to obnoxious bouts of self-pity too.
