Char's whereabouts from UC0080 to 0087 and then UC0088 to 0093 should be made into an animated movie or mini series. This will bring clarity to Char's evolution.
I’ve been hoping that for years. All we have is that one PS3 game where Char learns that Kamille got his brain fried in the final battle of the Gryps conflict. That’s what apparently made him go off the deep end
I recommend reading the manga Chars Deleted Affair as it covers what happened to Char in between 0079 and the start of Zeta. Its pretty good barring some very minor things.
there is a comic (char deleted affair) about char between 88 and 93, haman have crush to him but he just want to be like older brother and then meet nanai
UC0087 (Zeta Gundam) can be said to be Char's journey of reflection and atonement after reviewing his past addiction to Machiavellianism. It also explains why he was so reluctant to use his public real identity to make political appeals.
Yeah Char is a weird char-acter when it comes to his archetype, typically Anti Hero to Villain Arcs have a direct line from Heroism to Villany but Char is different, He starts as an Anti Hero, is a Heroic Mentor in the middle and then finally the Villain, which is unconventional, as a comparison, Darth Vader, who starts a hero then became a Villain, only ever redeeming himself in death, there is a direct throughline in that arc, Char flip flops over time instead.
So in short we wouldn't have CCA if Haman made sure that Natalie lived, giving Char something he never had since forever: a real reason to live and something to hold his craziness back, cuz gotta be honest by CCA, Char is totally bonkers, he don't have anyone close to him, no family, no one to make sure he is still somewhat mentally sound.
To be fair to Haman, she was a 16 year old that was pushed into power due to the events, and Char, who could have been her way out by taking the lead, refused to do so, and even did all he could to thrust her into the role.
@@LadCarmichael yeah Char is kind of an asshole and it never really worked out great for him. He could have made the world better but he run away when it matters.
@@KePzez Yep, Char Counterrattack could be interpreted as him stopping running away but it comes really suddenly. i would love to have another Char Deleted Affair but this time on the post-First Neon Zeon War.
what i find funny is that amuro took char with him, and then used his escape pod to help push the axis, that was a power play. Amuro is ballin' at every fathomable cost
Damn, it hits hard to me really sad that his love life is also a big tragedy and couldnt find love at the end, haman caused death of his love affair natalie and unborn child he was really devastated that explains why he's so mad at haman and went crazy to kill her immediatly in zeta!! i think his charecter alone drives the whole gundum lore, such a well written main charecter i've seen in any lore of fiction, definetly one of my all time favourite charecters!!
@@orochi2723 actually yes. The whole story will not start technically if he did not take the identity of the real Char and his plot for revenge towards the Zabi. Sure, back then Gundam will still exist but having no Char in the whole storyline will bring a big impact to the whole lore. Chronologically, Char started the whole story and we see it unfold through Amuro’s POV
@@orochi2723 yeah definetly mate, he's the'' pseudo protagonist '' of gundam you stole the word from my mouth!! that was what i meant to say!! actually the story is told from amuro's perspective in guundam 0079 during 1 year war deliberately by tomino, so that audience could root for white base crew and earth federation as protagonists and to make char as antagonist also making zeons as enemies. if we just turn and see the perspective to chars point of view, gundam is basically his story and struggle from the begining to end of chars counter attack and influence after his death in further in UC timeline.
one thing I learn when watch Universal Century series was when I watch it Casval Rem Deikun (Char Aznable) feel like the main character that Sunrise/Bandai hide on purpose as a red gem.
The humor you sneak into this elevates it from being just a wikipedia article with footage. Personal favorite was “which they think is the best idea ever” 😆
Exactly, Full Frontal is the Char that survive and lose his humanity (soul) by the psycho frame to be the will of the fallen people during war. In the last part of Gundam Unicorn he recovers his humanity when Amuro, Lala and his soul (classic Char) take him to beyond. Tha is one of the best finals that I have ever seen and the best character development in the anime or movies.
15:42 "Amuro bring char with him so they can continue bickering" lmao, i was so confused why Amuro just slam Char escape pod INTO THE ASTEROID, my thought there was wow, Amuro, what a cold heart MC, he stick char pod into the asteroid that on collision course toward earth? How unhero like, and then he propbably just need someone to talk to
I thought Char didn't know that Amuro was the pilot of Gundam tho. That's why he asked "what's wrong with him", because he didn't know the reason why Amuro was so anxious around him and Lalah. It was Lalah who realized the identity of Amuro thanks to Newtype shinanigans.
And the main Gundam is red for a change. And so the arms race in that universe focuses on speed and agility. Fast paced combat and high speed chases everywhere.
@@moatezmoussi9751 I agree but I thought of the most popular rivalries in every era of anime. Who’s more popular in the modern era? I’m not a huge anime fan I’m a gundam fan so I might have missed someone.
@@chriscueva1866 mmm honestly i must think about it but Deku and Bakugo's rivalry is very very lame especially when you learn how lame is Bakugo's backstory.
Great video! Very comprehensive. Are there any manga or media that tell in detail what Char was dong during ZZ? Also, can you do a similar video about Amuro and Bright?
thanks! yea. Not yet. They had plans for Char to be in ZZ but they scrapped it after they got the go ahead to produce the Char's Counter Attack movie. I wonder if they will cover Char's story during ZZ as a sequel to the manga Zeta Gundam define after it's finished. I'd be very interested to read that.
@Aaron There's no written media, but there is an anime cutscene from the end of the Zeta Gundam PS1 game made to expand on the ending of Zeta's anime, and to give a small look into what he was doing when Haman died during the first Neo Zeon war.
For a space Age Drama king, well he unsurpassed in anime in the early days of it. I always saw Jack Gleason better known as Joffrey Lannister as a perfect cast for the role.

@@zeroshinkai957 More people would be jumping to his side if there were enough lore nuggets to lead us to such conclusions. Personally, I'm not so sure. And considering he's the only one hounding this, the greater community isn't about to simply go with it either. They left it ambiguous since the end of CCA, and masterfully left it so at the end of Unicorn. There was indeed a sould there. One who adopted or even contains a chunch of Char's/Casval's soul, but I don't think it was truly the man we saw in CCA.
I don't want to believe he is dead😥, but just unknown, disappeared. And sure he played the "antagonist" role, yet he has many followers in the story. I kinda lost interest in anything after Char's Counter Attack, coz he's no longer here 😥, and also, the latter art style of the characters is rather "unstable". By art style, I mean it is the design of how the character looks. Not the visual quality, which continues to improve as technology of anime production advances.

Tomino really messed up by killing off Char. Considering how popular he was, we should have gotten a resurrection like Hasbro did Optimus Prime lol. I would love to see his return where that Char who died in CCA was actually a cyber new type and he’s been in some coma and awakens decades later
@Narumi Detective Agency I am relatively new to Gundam (I am just starting Victory), but Gaia - that’s not cannon right? Also in Gaia, isn’t that just a clone? I apologize for any confusion on my end. I just think Char deserves an actual return and not just filling in things pre-Counterattack.
@@laststrike4411more char it’s quite simple . He’s literally the best character in gundam and his original voice actor is still alive and still working (shanks in One Piece)
They're literally not though, Char and Amuro were killed in the Axis Flash. The "Char" we see in Unicorn is a Cyber Newtype modified to look like Char.
Char hiding his identity with sunglasses is like how superman hides his identity with regular glasses and it’s amazing
But this one kind of makes more sense haha
not exactly since most people didn't even know what char looked like outside of a handful of people
The real Char looked identical to Casval, except for the color of the eyes.
"he is one of the most popular gundam characters", nahhh man HE IS THE MOST POPULAR
That is in fact statistically the truth.

I didn't know the part about Char and his unborn child. God damn. His character arc hits even harder now.
Not many people do since we never got a English translation of the manga Char's deleted love affair.
Char will never die. He is the Duncan Idaho of Gundam, he will always be back eg: even more than 100+ years later in Gaia Gears.
To get the real experience of Char Anzable, you should listen to this video at 3x the speed.

i think Char was fine for most of Zeta gundam, untill he reunites with Haman anyway and after that is when he goes even deeper into crazy town
I like how his last sentence is "Lalah could've been a mother to me". Perfectly summed up his character.
THE most popular Gundam character... period.
so popular that theres char clones outside gundam
what i find funny is that amuro took char with him, and then used his escape pod to help push the axis, that was a power play. Amuro is ballin' at every fathomable cost
