Mobile Suit Gundam Wing/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 97:

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[Leitmotif]]: "Black Wind Inviting to Death", also a [[Wasted Song]] since it's never used in the show. The only place to hear it other than the OST is ''[[SD Gundam G Generation]]''.

* [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]

** {{spoiler|However, in ''Frozen Teardrop'', he has cut his hair. Cue [[Big No]] from his ''numerous'' fangirls!}}

* [[Mythology Gag]]: the end of ''Endless Waltz's'' manga adaptation has him wearing a baseball cap with the lines "Gundam 20th Anniversary".

Line 177:

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[The Captain]]: Heero may be [[The Hero]], but he readily passes leadership of the Gundam Team onto the more charismatic Quatre.

* [[Cross Dressing Voices]]: In the Japanese version. Generally averted in the dubs except probably the Filipino dub.

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: In the Japanese version. Generally averted in the dubs except probably the Filipino dub.

* {{spoiler|[[Death By Childbirth]]}}: What happened to Quatre's mother {{spoiler|when she insisted on giving birth to Quatre naturally, when all of the Winner children before him were [[Gattaca Babies|test tube babies]] ''and'' she was a very delicate [[Ill Girl]].}}.

* [[Warrior Prince]]

* [[The White Prince]]

* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]:}} The reason for his [[Freak Out]].

* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]:}} The reason for his [[Freak-Out]].

** [[Laughing Mad]]: Sounds creepier in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RLrr4M8ssA dubbed version], although both versions are great.

** {{spoiler|[[What Happened to The Mouse?]]?: In the anime, Quatre's older sister, Iria, gets a head bump and is knocked unconscious after their father was killed. She was never seen again after that. Subverted in the manga adaptation, in which she was killed along with their father.}} And now {{spoiler|officially averted as of ''Frozen Teardrop'', where she's shown to be alive and well in the future.}}

Line 266:

* [[The Chick]]/[[The Heart]]: Not an [[Action Girl]], but [[Guile Hero|very charismatic and quite good at handling people.]] She ''did'' show some [[Action Girl]] potential when she handled a gun [[Lady of War|rather elegantly and more than passably]] in the beginning, but that didn't come up directly again.

* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: At the final part of ''Endless Waltz'', when she {{spoiler|encouraged the citizens of Earth to stand up to the Mariemaia Army.}}

* [[Don't Call Me Sir]]: She asks Dorothy not to call her "Relena-sama" ("Lady Relena"), presumably because they're roughly the same age; Dorothy still does it anyway.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: She is the only character to have a confirmed birthday date: April 7, AC 180. Within the series, April 7th is when the original Heero Yuy was assassinated in AC 175, and on AC 195, when Operation Meteor started, though it technically started the day before. In the real world, April 7th was when ''Gundam Wing'' was first broadcast in Japan in 1995, and when ''Mobile Suit Gundam'' was first broadcast in Japan in 1979. (Another character within the Gundam series who shares the same birthdate as hers is [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Setsuna F. Seiei]].)

* [[Nipple and Dimed]]: Averted in a famous piece of official art that shows Relena skinny-dipping in hip-deep water.

* {{spoiler|[[Our Presidents Are Different]]}}: {{spoiler|Became President of Mars after Dix-Neuf Noinheim, aka "Milliardo Peacecraft", was assassinated.}}

* [[Plucky Girl]]

* [[Politically Active Princess]]: Serves this role after undergoing some character development. She is a pacifist, but that does not stop her from using her political clout to try to stop the war.

* [[Politically-Active Princess]]: Serves this role after undergoing some character development. She is a pacifist, but that does not stop her from using her political clout to try to stop the war.

* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: At least her limo, which was given to her by her adoptive parents.

Line 335:

* [[Char Clone]]: Probably the most obvious [[Expy]] of Char ever.

** [[Cool Shades]]: He wore [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Quattro Bajeena]]-like sunglasses in the ''Episode Zero'' manga (and gets them back again in ''Frozen Teardrop'').

** [[Shout-Out]]: Zechs's Tallgeese is described by Otto as being "[[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|three times faster]] than an Aries".

{{quote| '''Otto:''' The revolution speed applied by the verniers allows it to reach more than three times that of the Aries.}}

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Switches sides at least six times over the course of the series. More justified at first as Oz becomes splintered, but later on it becomes obvious it's just a result of trying to cram Char's long and complex character-arc, comprising two TV series and a movie, into a single show.

Line 345:

* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: His Gundam Epyon, as well as his OZ uniform being red.

* [[Go Through Me]]: In episode 47, Noin takes aim at Zechs when the latter is about to attack ''Peacemillion'', and Zechs is about to attack Noin. However, Zechs backs out of attacking her at the last minute.

* [[I Am Not Left Handed]]: Zechs insists that Noin always held herself back in order to make him look better. Considering he graduated top of their class, and is one of the few pilots to go toe-to-toe with the Gundams and live, this could go a long way towards explaining how she keeps up with the team despite never receiving a Gundam or [[Super Prototype]] of her own.

Line 642:

* [[Cool Old Guy|Cool Old Guys]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker|Deadpan Snarkers]]: A particularly amusing example: {{spoiler|When OZ has captured the Scientists, Lt. Nichol tries to kill them by shutting off the oxygen to their cell. Doctor J talks about the air getting thinner, and Professor G responds "If you're going to die, hurry up and do it; the rest of us could use that air."}}
