Honestly I feel char gets over hyped. Not from og to chars counterattack that was all great, I mean the origins series where it gets over the top and honestly stupid.
Marida Cruz is such a well written character. Easily one of my favorite characters in all of Gundam. Her story arc through Unicorn was an emotional roller coaster that makes me unapologetically tear up every time
I binged watched the first 3 Mobile suit Gundam movies, and then binged every episode of the origin. I can safely say after that wonderful experience Chars place at #1 is undeniable.
Great list and from the most part, accurate IMHO. Was super surprised and glad to see Kamille rank so high. He gets such a bad wrap but is easily one of the best and probably the most powerful Newtype, second only maybe to Amuro, in the UC. Love Marida Cruz too....such a great character and she deserved to be in the top 3!
Kamille is a meme at worst but he's a beloved main character in gundam. In terms of Newtype abilities, only Judau and probably the enhanced/enlighten Banana can fair against Kamille especially during his Zz days where he can use telepathy in the solar sytem.
@@user-pi1lb4tf2f Agree, Judau is also powerful but from my understanding, he derived a lot of his power from his "connection" to Kamille and ability to channel Kamille and past newtype ghosts also connected to Kamille. So in that regard, I believe Judau to be less powerful without the Kamille connection. Still a great newtype tho.
@janinebelleestrada7096 Not for long lol. Honestly I don’t think 00 could have released now days because it would probably been called, “Islamophobic”. Back then ppl didn’t give a shit about offending Islam and was more than happy to show the colors of that religion. Setsuna is hands down one of the best gundam protagonists out there.
if kira went for the kill instead of disarming, he could end a lot of lives. The fact that he went 1 vs entire fleet and able to disarm them with precision, shows how much of a jesus he is
@liecretsev not sure what your point is, I never said he wasn't a Jesus or Mary Sue type character. I just like him. Frankly any story about a civilian with no training getting into a military weapon with no training and decimating all experienced pilots in his/her path with on the fly experiences making up the bulk of his/her combat growth with marginal at best character growth... are all Jesus/ Mary Sue stories. In this regard, After Colony And OO are the most realistic and most grounded universes and 8th MS team one of the most grounded stories in the UC. Of course, not accounting for space evolution/ wizards (UC, and Seed are the biggest offenders in this regard).
@@liecretsevkira is hypocrite that love ntr their best friend's girls,just only piloting customize MS with so many weapons without limited ammo of course he can win so many battles,he is the most boring and lame character that Bandai can give us as protagonist
i reaaalllyy thought Garrod would come up in top 20 lmao i mean man the After War stories really just shows the true horrors of what happened in and after the war, how humans and newtypes were different as newtypes are overly abused in war and detailing about some random child that really doing his best to live in a post war enviorement while trying to fight for what's right and what's left in his current era unlike those overpowered charas like Setsuna, Kira, Banagher, Amuro, etc. Garrod really fights with his pure knowledge and sweat (with the help of Jamille and Tiffa ofc) because he's not special and have no superpower abilities like most Gundam Characters lmao
Honestly... never thought of it but having Marida be the MC Gundam Pilot would have been a great spin on the show. Plus she has the most character out of them.
I've only seen Iron-Blooded Orphans once when it originally aired and I don't remember Orga (#7) as a Gundam/mobile suit pilot. It's weird that he's that high. Also Lunamaria higher than Kira or Shinn. 🤣🤣🤣
I think Kamille should've been in top 3 right there with his teacher. The thing I love about is the fact Kamille starts as an absolute amateur and seeing him grow in a powerful pilot was really entertaining, no small part thanks to the fact that Char was with him in those battles and mentored him, also let's not forget the fact he was one of the most gifted Newtypes in UC and Char viewed him as the next natural step for all humans. As for the SEED characters I am amazed they even got in this chart. I hate the "charging my anger" button, that they press on a whim and suddenly grants them bullshit free get away/overpowering everybody card. Aslo fuck mr Gary Stu Immortal Plot Armor Kira and his miss Blandy Bland Merry Sue wife.
honestly, kind of sad the other celestial being members was not included in the list but I'm just really glad that best girl Marida Cruz is standing on the podium along with Char and Amuro
I love IBO so much I have the tekkadan logo on my arm - Orga doesn’t pilot a mobile suit once in the show. And you’re telling me he’s 13 places better than Heero and 25 odd places ahead of McGillis and Gaellio? The community doesn’t get Gundam.
I had to scroll down after watching this, a lot of relatively important Gundam pilots are missing in favour of random pilots because they are in video games, surely.
Garrod ran imo is the best gundam protagonist. The dude was dope. He was just an ordinary dude. He wasn't the ultimate coordinator like kira, or wasn't the leader of some alliance like domon. He was literally just a regular person and I liked how we saw his skills improve as the series went on. He even beat a newtype by himself through Hard work and practice. Garrod ran was the shit and is definitely a underrated character.
Why were the other Gundam pilots from Gundam Wing no eligible? I don't have anything against the number 7 character but if he didn't pilot anything should be get a spot of the Gundam pilot list instead of fulltime Gundam pilots?
You forgot yuu kajima and nimbus schterzen from the blue destiny! Considering it has a manga, a remake manga, a game, and a remake game, I’m surprised they didn’t appear when gundam sentinel characters did.
Yuu and Nimbus originated in a 1996 video game. Characters that originate in gundam games have not been able to reach to popularity of characters that originate in shows, novels, or manga. It got a tie-in manga sure but it isn't the same
Athrun was defo the best seed char hands down. Well written char until jesus yamato manipulates him. Also has not lost a single fight while in seed mode. Sadly my fav gundam char, Lockon didnt make the list D:
Speaking of athrun. I also detect some mentorship between Shin and Athrun like how it is between Kamille and Quattro. And also how destiny supposed to be CE version of Zeta that would be awesome if Kira Yamato shenanigans doesn't exist.
Athrun is also my fav character on CE. But the problem with him as you said, is that his too easy to manipulate. Chairman Durandal almost got him. Almost. And he changes sides a lot. One minute his Zaft. Then Orb on another. Then back on Zaft again. Then went back on Orb lol. But whatever, he destroyed the Destiny so easily he was awesome.
I have my respect to Gundam Seed it was the first Gundam I've ever watch and got me interested in Mecha Anime, Athrun and Nicol were really my Favorite in the series not really fond of Kira though. Edit: I'm happy that Ran and Hiroto able to get 50 above rank, since Gundam X is not really that known and how most seem (from what I've observed) are not really fond of Gundam Build Divers
What was the criteria to get in? Half of the tekkadan crew was missing, most of ZZ’s Gundam team was missing, most of Wing’s Gundam team was missing but we had weird oddball picks at the bottom of this list?
Umm no. In Seed he barely had challenges with fodder enemies and his unit has always been the strongest. UC pilots alone can outshine Kira, and we're not talking about the uber newtypes. Then if the gundam special system has to be considered such as those in IBO and G-Gundam, then the orphans and the 5 Shuffle fighters exceed him. 00 Celestial being pilots are also super human with setsuna eventually becoming a true innovator, he has all the powerups of a newtype without their downside.
Sei is lower than Hiroto? I mean Hiroto is an awesome character, but man, Sei is like the only gundam MC who I can relate to 100%... and I'm sure a fuck ton of other people can say the same as well...
@@Nataku302 But he really didn't did he, he was trending to have some growth and then he just sorta stuck as the 2 bit pet Gundam pilot for the big bad, with all the trope of the whiny teen mecha pilot added to it...
@@racingmaniacgt1 I would still argue he was 16 witness his family death and that is usually how teens act if he was 20 like Iok I would have been like something is wrong at that point. Blame the director for that for hijacking the story line and changing the whole plot.
Why no one put Lockon Stratos from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 on this list. He is truly an amazing Mobile Suit pilot and a very phenomenal Sharpshooter sniper.
I think the age 3 pilot would had ranked higher if they series didnt shorten so his half of the story got cut and he became a kira clone. Edit: my favorite seed character shinn got my favorite mumber 69, what are the odds lol knowing this fan base not "hard" to get to that number and leave it for the joke Edit 2: kinda unfair that all three main gundam pilots from age and seed made it on the pilot list but not the others from 00, gundam wing and g gundam didn't
can someone explain why char and amuro are so popular among the gundam community? personally i love them alot due to their charisma and the mobile suits (nu gundam and sazabi), but i had no idea they and their MS were THIS popular.
Rose tinted Glasses mainly. people cant get over their fan boying and girling of those 2 because they were the OG, not much to it, its the same often times for any series, i dont care for either of em really,
char is so popular he gets referenced in media outside gundam. He's like the blueprint for masked villains with well-intentioned extremism. and amuro is popular because MC and decent character from the OG.
God it's so funny to see Orga on the list whilst the other actual gundam pilots (Akihiro and Shino) did not even make it LMFAOOOO, S2E48 really did stonks on Orga's popularity 😂😂
This list is rigged, 🤣, beside we can't rank Jesus, Btw on several occasions, Jesus yamato won the best protagonist with the best personality And in 2015, Kira yamato finally dropped out from top 10 in new type magazine after 10 years, Not just for gundam but for all anime male protagonist. So yeah, the church of Jesus yamato in untouchable 🤣
Quite a surprise for me as well. Kira’s very popular in Japan. But quite polarizing in several other countries, especially the west. People either love him or really hate him, thus brought down the average. Same thing happened to strikefreedom on the other list.
@@KAIJUCORP yeah , I think we can't denied that love or hate him , he is a polarizing figure, Kira is very popular in Asia , like Malaysia , China ,and Japan , they like his character, a hero that has that no killing rule, kinda like batman I guess? plus OP is a concept that they like very much, and Strike freedom has never taken a dmg , a record nonetheless and Kira is the only hero in gundam anime that manage as far as we know , giving the world peace, twice while amuro died doing the impossible, Kira make the world submit, in a twisted way I think they like the ideas that finally a Gundam that didn't kill directly and yet manage to make the world a better place they even dub Lacus is like Emperor palpatine, manipulating everyone and boy did lacus secure the best genetic, the ultimate coordinator for herself~ XD while in the west, because the first mainstream Gundam is Gundam wing , I think the fans colour the Gundam franchise , that it much follow the wing formula~ while younger generations that like/love IBO , most of them never even watch the original Gundam but nevertheless , loving more content on this channel wohoo!
Kira is just a big fish in a pond if you put him against the OGs in the sea cosmos. Kira's not even featured in Gundam Beyond. Meanwhile Amuro/Kamille/Char gets to be in the spotlight everytime UC is featured. Kamille is also the first gundam protagonist to win the best male in the anime grand prix while Char winning the same category the year before. And while Kira is popular in Japan, he's also voted as the most hated.
@@servitudenations He had an ungodly amount of plot armor that made his fights especially during seed destiny boring to watch because it became predictable. Being OP is a tough concept to execute because its hard to put stakes in them so it must be handled correctly. Lastly his pacifist persona did not fit well with the western audience because it made him toxicly naive to the nature of war unlike some of the other MCs. I love the seed gundam desingns but I felt the characters were mostly flat.
Amuro Ray is my #1 and Char is my #2! Sad to see Char beat out Amuro, but with all the movies dedicated to Char, it doesn't surprise me. I hope they give Amuro a couple new movies and some love.
@@DCompani13 seed haters in general are not very intelligent people. They dont understand that seed and destint never failed, it was more of the opposite.
@@501clonetrooper I mean I don't want put down other people opinions. I just really never understood the hate train seed and destiny get. Both shows introduced some of my favorite gundams( huge fan of freedom and strike freedom). Not to mention Kira is a pretty remarkable pilot later on.
@@DCompani13 the issue is westerners believed everything they hear, including rumours they said about seed and destiny. When you try to argue with them, they will say popularity =/= quality, and circlejerk you to a ban or block. Is seed/destiny are the worst, ae would literally never hear from the seriea again, yet they appear constantly Same story about disney sw which people believed kennedy was getting fired, carano was coming back, there was a lucasfilm civil, sequels getting retconned.
Amuro is archetype charecter and he is a incredibly popular charecter, most of gundam charecter ranking list you can see him no 2 or 3 place not no 1 because it almost impossible to beat char in terme of popularity
I find it poetry that Mikazuki is one spot ahead of his boyfriend Orga to be honest. Also LOVE how Shinn beat out Kira (which might not have happened if the main focus in Destiny didn’t shift BACK to Kira and the Archangel crew towards the end of the show). And I totally figured that Heero would be in the top 20 with Setsuna in the top 5 xD
@@uandresbrito5685 It's not that they were written so badly, more that they suffered (along with the rest of Destiny) due to how chaotic production of the season got. Chikai Morosawa was having health issues (such as a cyst in in one of her ovaries) which required constant medical attention. Not to mention the rumors that were (and still are) spread around that she thought Naomi Shindo (Cagali's VA) was having an affair with her husband (who was the director of the show) and had a vendetta against her. Maybe in an alternate timeline, the show ended up being really good instead of the crap we ended up getting xD
@@pockylovingranger Well, yes, they were written badly due to the Destiny drama. The characters aren't that bad by design, they were destroyed in the series.
Was there ever a doubt on who is No. 1? Char is just shortened charisma.
Char is a breath of fresh air amongst all the immature, hormonal and screechy teenage protagonists in the franchise.
I was so scared it was Mikazuki
@@ありn-p1y I know and his childhood origin is the the best!
Honestly I feel char gets over hyped. Not from og to chars counterattack that was all great, I mean the origins series where it gets over the top and honestly stupid.
Marida Cruz is such a well written character. Easily one of my favorite characters in all of Gundam. Her story arc through Unicorn was an emotional roller coaster that makes me unapologetically tear up every time

Her arc goes beyond well written when you watch ZZ too
@@juliusbagoyo5424 Agree. I'd love to see an OVA or manga dedicated to her backstory from ZZ to Unicorn.

Char and Amuro deserve their places, they are the freaking prototype for all the characters that came after for crying out loud.
No matter how many pilots they are Heero Yuy and Zechs Merquise (Milliardo Peacecraft )will always be my favorite Gundam Pilots
I binged watched the first 3 Mobile suit Gundam movies, and then binged every episode of the origin. I can safely say after that wonderful experience Chars place at #1 is undeniable.
Char and Amuro definitely deserve the ranking they gotten. I would personally could of interchange the two in my list but overall can't disagree.
Marida stealing Kamille's spot among the top3 is understandable. Truly the best girl to beat the best grill.
Amuro and Char both fighting at the top spot gives a smile on my face.

God it's so funny to see Orga on the list whilst the other actual gundam pilots (Akihiro and Shino) did not even make it LMFAOOOO, S2E48 really did stonks on Orga's popularity 😂😂
Kira, Shinn, Cagali, Lunamaria, and Athrun were all more popular that Mu LaFlaga who isn't even on the list?
Wow Shinn got the rank 69
Niiice.
This list is rigged, 🤣, beside we can't rank Jesus,
Btw on several occasions, Jesus yamato won the best protagonist with the best personality
And in 2015, Kira yamato finally dropped out from top 10 in new type magazine after 10 years,
Not just for gundam but for all anime male protagonist.
So yeah, the church of Jesus yamato in untouchable 🤣
Quite a surprise for me as well. Kira’s very popular in Japan. But quite polarizing in several other countries, especially the west. People either love him or really hate him, thus brought down the average. Same thing happened to strikefreedom on the other list.
@@KAIJUCORP yeah , I think we can't denied that love or hate him , he is a polarizing figure,
Kira is very popular in Asia , like Malaysia , China ,and Japan
, they like his character, a hero that has that no killing rule, kinda like batman I guess?
plus OP is a concept that they like very much, and Strike freedom has never taken a dmg , a record nonetheless
and Kira is the only hero in gundam anime that manage as far as we know , giving the world peace, twice
while amuro died doing the impossible, Kira make the world submit, in a twisted way
I think they like the ideas that finally a Gundam that didn't kill directly and yet manage to make the world a better place
they even dub Lacus is like Emperor palpatine, manipulating everyone
and boy did lacus secure the best genetic, the ultimate coordinator for herself~ XD
while in the west, because the first mainstream Gundam is Gundam wing , I think the fans colour the Gundam franchise , that it much follow the wing formula~
while younger generations that like/love IBO , most of them never even watch the original Gundam
but nevertheless , loving more content on this channel wohoo!
Kira is just a big fish in a pond if you put him against the OGs in the sea cosmos. Kira's not even featured in Gundam Beyond. Meanwhile Amuro/Kamille/Char gets to be in the spotlight everytime UC is featured. Kamille is also the first gundam protagonist to win the best male in the anime grand prix while Char winning the same category the year before. And while Kira is popular in Japan, he's also voted as the most hated.
Kira’s piloting skills is god tier. I can’t believe he didn’t even make it to the top ten.
@@servitudenations He had an ungodly amount of plot armor that made his fights especially during seed destiny boring to watch because it became predictable. Being OP is a tough concept to execute because its hard to put stakes in them so it must be handled correctly. Lastly his pacifist persona did not fit well with the western audience because it made him toxicly naive to the nature of war unlike some of the other MCs. I love the seed gundam desingns but I felt the characters were mostly flat.
Disappointment that Quattro Bajeena didn't made the list
He should totally be n.1
The fact that Lockon Stratos isn’t on the list at all is a crime against humanity!
Mika should be on top 3 in my opinion i mean mika literally destroyed A FREAKING MOBILE ARMOR ( solo) ,something that's a world ender.
top 10 is plenty high, his character wasn't very dep. He was essentially Orga's hitman.
Kira is ranked a bit high there. Better put him at 91.
Do another tier list, this time on the best Gundam series from the franchise.
Seeing Setsuna rank so high fills me with joy!
Setsuna was a G. He spent 4 years out in space fighting solo with a busted-ass Gundam.
Sayla but no Ramba Ral...wut?
Happy to see that daryl lorenz ranking 11th
Setsuna F Seiei and Tieria are my fave, but I must admit I haven't watched many of the other series
I expected more from hataway noah
im flabbergasted people like shinn more than kira, and that kira is so low. I don't like either but I was sure Kira would break top 50 at least.
Heero shoulda been higher
Amuro Ray is my #1 and Char is my #2! Sad to see Char beat out Amuro, but with all the movies dedicated to Char, it doesn't surprise me. I hope they give Amuro a couple new movies and some love.
Exactly what I was saying in my head but fans enjoy the 2nd best instead of the number 1 which is amuro
Char FTW but low key upset Duo Maxwell isn't even on that list
I was generally surpised with Kira ranking tbh. I kind of expected him to be ranked alot higher
I think most people just hate seed. In my opinion Kira is a pretty impressive pilot.
@@DCompani13 seed haters in general are not very intelligent people. They dont understand that seed and destint never failed, it was more of the opposite.
@@501clonetrooper I mean I don't want put down other people opinions. I just really never understood the hate train seed and destiny get. Both shows introduced some of my favorite gundams( huge fan of freedom and strike freedom). Not to mention Kira is a pretty remarkable pilot later on.
@@DCompani13 the issue is westerners believed everything they hear, including rumours they said about seed and destiny. When you try to argue with them, they will say popularity =/= quality, and circlejerk you to a ban or block. Is seed/destiny are the worst, ae would literally never hear from the seriea again, yet they appear constantly
Same story about disney sw which people believed kennedy was getting fired, carano was coming back, there was a lucasfilm civil, sequels getting retconned.
@@501clonetrooper I can understand that.
How did orga make it on the list or top ten for that matter
Iron-blooded orphan is the best gundam series ever
No Lockon, Allelujah, Tieria??
Emma from Zeta is the Best Gundam Girl. She didn't deserve her fate.
No Lock On in the rankings like really?
Which Lock On is better? The dead one or the live one?
I’m surprised that Amuro made it so high. I never really felt attached to him, but apparently I’m wrong..!
Amuro is archetype charecter and he is a incredibly popular charecter, most of gundam charecter ranking list you can see him no 2 or 3 place not no 1 because it almost impossible to beat char in terme of popularity
Its not about you
@@vagabond4576 truth
Where is Muu La Flaga?
I must not be the majority cuz I hate Ali al Saachez and no Lockon or Tieria? Idk I figured Lockon would be higher then Setsuna but I guess not
I had Amuro #1 with Char #2...
Hey, where's Quattro Bajeena?
Char and char clones high five each other in beating main chars ranking
Then backstabbing each other after
I find it poetry that Mikazuki is one spot ahead of his boyfriend Orga to be honest. Also LOVE how Shinn beat out Kira (which might not have happened if the main focus in Destiny didn’t shift BACK to Kira and the Archangel crew towards the end of the show). And I totally figured that Heero would be in the top 20 with Setsuna in the top 5 xD
It's a weird case of terrible character vs boring character. Hard to say which is worse because both are written so badly
@@uandresbrito5685 It's not that they were written so badly, more that they suffered (along with the rest of Destiny) due to how chaotic production of the season got. Chikai Morosawa was having health issues (such as a cyst in in one of her ovaries) which required constant medical attention. Not to mention the rumors that were (and still are) spread around that she thought Naomi Shindo (Cagali's VA) was having an affair with her husband (who was the director of the show) and had a vendetta against her. Maybe in an alternate timeline, the show ended up being really good instead of the crap we ended up getting xD
@@pockylovingranger Well, yes, they were written badly due to the Destiny drama. The characters aren't that bad by design, they were destroyed in the series.
My personal preferences: Char, Milliardo, and Kamille
Did u really just say " mitsugaki august "? Or is it just me?.
What was that game at 2:10? I used to play it all the time.
Disappointed that Quattro-taii wasn't ranked
