Hey /m/, just the best mobile suit pilot passing by

What was the point of his character? I feel like Tomino wanted to write something with him and then said
>Fuck it just let him die

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with Tomino?
>Jerid you're going to be a great something
Said waifu one
>Jerid you have the qualities to be a great something
Said waifu two

And then he just dies, it seems he wasn't very popular so Tomino decided to fuck him over.

He was great at dying

That was a problem everyone tried to warn Jerid about. He was a hothead who obsessed beating a 17 year in a mobile suit fight and it ended up costing his life.

>What was the point of his character?

Basically to humanize the "bad" guys.

>>14588468
Jerrid can suck my dick. Fucking Katz was a better pilot than him.

>>14588468
Yazan is better.

the best in being a fucking nuisance to qt Kamille
the best being an asshole and risking good women's life because he wanted to kill Kamille
He deserved a more painful death

He killed Kamille's mom and then tried to bantz with him like ten minutes later.

Dude was a weirdo

He seems to be a mirror to Kamille, a way to measue Kamille's growth. Kamille starts out a hotheaded idiot who never thinks through his actions but just goes on instinct, lashing out in anger at anything that upsets him and making his life worse because of it. Jerid meanwhile is an ambitious and talented Titans officer who wants to change the regime from within.

Over the course of the first half of the show the positions reverse, and Jerid becomes more obsessed with revenge on Kamille, constantly pushing off his own advancement and becoming a joke to his superiors because he wants to kill Kamille so badly, while Kamille himself stops caring about Jerid and the bad history of dead loved ones between them, instead choosing to look at the big picture and see the causes of the war that need stopping, rather than individual soldiers who commit bad acts in the name of said war.

The reversal of position only takes about half the show though and Jerid seems to kind of muddle on after wards despite this. He should have been killed about 30 episodes in, rather than near the end of the show in that case. It doesn't help that Katz has a similar function, existing to show Kamille's growth as someone who no longer rushes head long in to fights brashly.
