@ZealousSeraphim I really had a hard time ranking any early UC characters since the cast was consistently good all around. Even getting to later UC I had a hard time picking a favorite pilot until I got to Loran.
@ZealousSeraphim He had a very big heart, despite his exterior, often too big for his own good. He is hurt by the pain of war, though I don't think anyone wouldn't be after what he went through. But even through all that he never changed his core of wanting to do the right thing and help people.
@ZealousSeraphim My #1 has to be kamille. Like Judau he has a very strong sense of morals/right and wrong and feels very strongly about it. At first it was a struggle to contain himself with it but he rapidly learned how to channel it into more a productive mindset. That was very endearing to me.
If Char’s story ended at Zeta he’d possibly be top 5, but when you take the whole of him from 0079 to CCA he ends up where he is.
Not because he’s badly written though.
My Top 10 Early-UC Gundam Characters
This is a list I’ve been meaning to make for a while. Since I’ve finished CCA, I thought I’d finalize my top 10 list.
This isn’t a ranking of “best written” characters, this is a ranking of characters I connected most with.
10. Char Aznable
9. Haman Karn
8. Kamille Bidan
7. Four Murasame
6. Kai Shidan
5. Amuro Ray
4. Bright Noa
3. Elpeo Puru
2. Fa Yuiry
1. Judau Ashta
