Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 486:

* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]

* [[Dirty Coward]]: He was happy to hide behind Yazan and let him soak up enemy fire. In the end, this really didn't work out for him.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|Death]] by [[Unfriendly Fire]]}}: {{spoiler|Yazan lures Emma to kill Jamaican for interfering with his bloodlust.}}

* [[Keaton Yamada]]

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Jamaican isn't a psychopath like Yazan or Bask but he cares about nothing other than his own career.

* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Jamaican is more of an [[Armchair Military]] type of character much like Bask and Jamitov; this further contrasts him with the MS Pilot Titans.

* [[Non-Action Guy]]

* [[Porn Stache]]: Jamaican wears his mustache [[Adolf Hitler]] style.

* [[The Rival]]: Views Scirocco as his rival within the Titans. Scirocco [[Paper Tiger|feels differently]].

Line 495:

* [[Starter Villain]]: His entire purpose is to chase Kamille and the ''Argama'' for the first part of the show, and then {{spoiler|die right around the time that Scirocco, Yazan, and the rest of the real threats appear.}}

* [[State Sec]]

* [[We Have Reserves]]: Jamaican views his soldiers as resources rather than people. While he doesn't deliberately throw them away in futile operations (at one point ordering Jerid, whom he hates, to stand down lest he die pointlessly), there is no personal care or attachment that he places on their lives. The deaths of grunts are acceptable losses provided they die performing useful operations.

* [[We Have Reserves]]

'''Jerid Messa'''

Line 508:

* [[Badass Normal]]: For most the show, Jerid demonsrates no Newtype powers. He's still one of the few people who can give Kamille a run for his money.

** [[Badass Abnormal]]: In the last few episodes, Jerid begins to unlock his Newtype potential.

** [[Handicapped Badass]]: Jerid spends a couple of episodes on crutches. He still tracks Kamille and Four across the mountains to deal with them.

* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Jerid spends a couple of episodes on crutches. He still tracks Kamille and Four across the mountains to deal with them.

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Mouar.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[The Bully]]

* [[The Bully]]: Has the personality of a classic high school bully.

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: He can never quite reach Kamille's level of skill, though that doesn't stop him from being extremely dangerous, especially when in [[Unstoppable Rage]] mode.

* [[Cartwright Curse]]: {{spoiler|Falls for Lila and Mouar, both get killed off}}.

Line 519:

* [[Foil]]: To Kamille. They're both young, arrogant, [[Ace Pilot|ace pilots]] with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. Jerid's [[Jerk Jock]] persona makes for a marked contrast with Kamille's [[Insufferable Genius]], while his desire for promotions and personal glory, and weak Newtype status, set him apart from the genuinely committed, frighteningly powerful Kamille.

* [[Glory Hound]]: He seeks to one day lead the Titans.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Hot headed and quick to rush into combat with no real plans.

* [[It's Personal]]: With Kamille.

* [[Jerkass]]: A jerk to almost everyone who crosses his path. Though when you're a member of the Titans and that's the worst thing that can be said of you, you're diving right into [[Anti-Villain]] territory.

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Jerk Jock]]: Jerid definitely gives off this vibe. It's easy enough to see him as the quarterback in an 80's teen movie.

* [[Jerk Jock]]

* [[Just Following Orders]]

* [[Just Following Orders]]: The worst of his crimes are committed while doing this.

* [[Kazuhiko Inoue]]

* [[Know When to Fold'Em]]: Surprisingly yes. Jerid starts out as a [[Hot-Blooded]] idiot, but by the series' midpoint his ability to tell when a battle has been lost is what makes him officer material.

Line 561:

* [[Hero-Killer]]: Kills {{spoiler|Katz, Henken, Reccoa and Emma (all in the space of one episode)}}, arranges for the death of {{spoiler|Jamaican and one of the ''Argama'''s [[Bridge Bunnies]]}}, and damn near kills Kamille himself on several separate occasions.

* [[Hochu Otsuka]]

* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: Although he does get his ass kicked by Kamille near the end of ''Zeta Gundam'', he still manages to escape with his life and remains at large, as proven near the beginning of ''ZZ Gundam''}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}

** It doesn't end there. He's somehow still serving as a pilot for the Federation in the 0090s (according to the manga ''MSV-R: The Return of Johnny Ridden''). Further supplementary materials reveal that he lived out a long and peaceful life, eventually retiring from the service and finding his way back to the Shangri-La colony, where he was hired by a now grown up Leina as a night watchman at the Ashta family's scrapyard.

* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: {{spoiler|Killing Jamaican.}}

* [[Lack of Empathy]]

Line 580:

Line 581:

* [[Villainous Friendship]]: Played with. Yazan is clearly incapable of empathy. Yet it's just as obvious that he at least enjoys the company of both Scirocco and like minded psychopaths Dunkel Cooper and Ramsus Hasa.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Whenver he's out of uniform.

* [[Would Hit a Girl~~]]/[[Would Hurt a Child~~]]: In Yazan's own words, the AEUG are made up of "women and children". He still thoroughly enjoys killing their members.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: In Yazan's own words, the AEUG are made up of "women and children". He still thoroughly enjoys killing their members.

* [[Would Hurt a Child]]

'''Mouar Pharaoh'''

Line 587:

Line 589:

A Titans officer who rescues Jerid during his time on Earth, Mouar becomes Jerid's closest friend and constant companion upon his return to space, eventually revealing that she has a crush on him.

----

* [[Anti-Villain]]: One of the more moral Titans, Mouar lacks the characteristic callousness and violence that other officers possess. Her debut was even her trying to help Jerid, who to her was just a random officer she just met, into an escape vehicle.

* [[Anti-Villain]]

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Jerid. The two of them make a surprisingly effective combo, frequently tagteaming opponents in their Gabthley's.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

Line 628:

Line 630:

* [[Saeko Shimazu]]: Her original seiyuu.

** [[Yukana]]: Her seiyuu in the movies. [[Replacement Scrappy|It didn't go]] [[Yoko Oh No|well for her]], though.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: When they said that Cyber Newtypes tend to be mentally unstable, they were not kidding. Four goes from having a merry romantic scene with Kamille to trying to crush him with the Psyco Gundam scarily fast.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]

* [[State Sec]]: The Newtype lab is allied with the Titans.

* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: With Kamille.

Line 652:

Line 654:

* [[Cute and Psycho]]: As in the case of Four, it ain't her fault.

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Drugs Are Bad]]

* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: They are the reason she is such an [[Axe Crazy]] [[Mood Swinger]] psycho.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: She's first seen as ruthless and cold, then has a huge [[Villainous BSOD]] and screams that the sky will fall on her...

* [[Evil Is Bigger]]: The Psyco Gundam II

* [[Lady in Red]]

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: She forgets to get dressed between completing her physical and hugging Kamille.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The Psyco Gundam II.

* [[Psychic Powers]]: Another Cyber Newtype. She's powerful enough—and insane enough—to spook the Hell out of Kamille in their first encounter; he describes it as though his mind were being drawn into a great darkness. To put that in perspective, he says something very similar about Scirocco.

** [[Psychic Link]]: With Gates Capa.

* [[Psychic Link]]: With Gates Capa.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: She believes that the AEUG plan to make the sky fall. She's an adult woman with the fears of a little girl.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: She believes that the AEUG plan to make the sky fall. She's an adult woman with the fears of a little girl. On the other hand, she's explicitly stated as having lived through Zeon's [[Colony Drop]] at the start of the One Year War. Being traumatized and having a phobia of similar experiences is kind of understandable.

** On the other hand, she's explicitly stated as having lived through Zeon's [[Colony Drop]] at the start of the One Year War. Being traumatized and having a phobia of similar experiences is kind of understandable.

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: [[Up to Eleven]]—if a character is of the right age, and is a powerful enough Newtype, she'll mistake them for her older brother. She does it to Kamille and has it used against her by Gates. One could argue that Kamille himself sees her as one for Four.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Crazier in every appearance.

Line 688:

Line 689:

* [[Evil Redhead]]: [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] redhead anyway.

* [[Green Eyes]]

* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]

* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]/[[Love Makes You Evil]]

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]

* [[Love Martyr]]: For Scirocco. She's not exactly ''evil'', but completely devoted to him.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Yuko Mizutani]]'s ''debut''.

Line 701:

* [[Wolverine Claws]]: The Bolinoak Samaan has one on its left arm.

* [[Woman in Black]]

* [[~~:Category:Yandere|~~Yandere]]

* [[Yandere]]

'''Kacricon Cacooler'''

Line 714:

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[The Captain]]

** [[The Good Captain]]: He's a bad person, but he sincerely seems to care about his men and the mission.

* [[The Good Captain]]: He's a bad person, but he sincerely seems to care about his men and the mission.

* [[Elite Mook]]

* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: See Villainous Valour below.

Line 740:

* [[Only Sane Man]]: In comparison to the rest of the Cyber-Newtypes.

* [[Psychic Powers]]: He's a Cyber-Newtype.

** [[Psychic Link]]: With Rosamia

* [[Psychic Link]]: With Rosamia

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]

* [[State Sec]]

Line 767:

* [[Ace Custom]]: Her red mobile suit.

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Badass Normal]]: In the sense that she's not a Newtype.

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]

* [[Colonel Kilgore]]: She's accused of being one by Jamaicon.

Line 773:

* [[The Gwen Stacy]]: {{spoiler|To Jerid}}

* [[Hot Amazon]]: Just ask Jerid.

* [[Mauve Shirt]]: She's clearly an excellent pilot, and her death is played as bad luck on her part.

* [[Mauve Shirt]]

* [[Mayumi Asano]]: In the movies.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: In the short time that she appears before she gets killed the viewer manages to see her breasts.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]

* [[Shower Scene]]: In the series.

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]: Only gets a couple of episodes to do anything in}}.

== Axis ==

Line 808:

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: If you accept that her last name should be translated as Khan.

* [[Playing Both Sides]]: Haman is actively courted by both the AEUG and the Titans. She could care less about either of them, but actively plays them both to her own advantage.

* [[Psychic Powers]]: She's a Newtype, like most of the other major players in Zeta. ~~Her abilities include:~~

* [[Psychic Powers]]: She's a Newtype, like most of the other major players in Zeta.

** [[Astral Projection]]

* [[Astral Projection]]

** [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]

* [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]: Able to sense the presence of other Newtypes.

** [[Psychic Link]]

* [[Psychic Link]]

** [[Technopath]]: Only in her Qubeley, and only with the aid of the Qubeley's psycommu system.

* [[Technopath]]: Only in her Qubeley, and only with the aid of the Qubeley's psycommu system.

* [[Psycho Ex-Girlfriend]]: Played deadly seriously. Here's a hint Char—if you really did seduce a teenage girl while you were in your twenties, than you have this coming.

* [[Regent for Life]]: Whether or not Haman intends to give up her position as regent or not isn't explored (as Mineva is only seven) but she certainly gives off this vibe.

Line 824:

* [[Woman in Black]]: Though curiously, her signature MS is white.

* [[Woman Scorned]]: To Char, and ''how''.

* [[~~:Category:Yandere|~~Yandere]]: She really can't decide if she's still in love with Char, wants to kill him, or both.

* [[Yandere]]: She really can't decide if she's still in love with Char, wants to kill him, or both.

* [[Yoshiko Sakakibara]]

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Purple actually.
