Who is your favourite Gundam MC? Mine is pic-related.

>>15263142
Why?
Yeah Setsuna's my favorite too though.

>>15263162
Because of what he's been through as a child and how it fucked him up. And for all his autism too ('I couldn't become a Gundam' etc.)

Honestly I'd have to say Amuro.
He's just some kid thrust into an unforgiving war, and doing the best he can. It's not until late into the story that he starts gaining newtype abilities, but unlike Zeta and ZZ, he doesn't do anything stupid with them like making an impenetrable force field around his suit, or making a giant fuckoff beam saber powered by souls.
Plus even with all the shit and wars he's gone through, he still manages to find hope in Humanity.
Even if he won't live long enough to humanity come together, he still believes in their potential.

I just think he's a great guy.
If Celestial Being was an entity in UC, he probably would have fought against Setsuna and company.

Kamille. He had a great character arc and grew enormously in the course of a single series.

Runners up are Garrod, Amuro, Setsuna, and Kira, all for the same reason. Character development.

Setsuna was the highlight attraction of S2 over S1 simply because he has a much higher sense of maturity and was willing to tone out his Gundam-to-God complex for a more extrovert style of getting to know his teammates, as well as Saji and Marina who represent the humanity he is fully intending to save from the harshness of war.

I like Seabook because we never get to see him have pointless, ideological tantrums, and his super newtype hax aren't as annoying as others'.

The runner-up is probably Judau, whose greatest character flaw was that he had friends.

Judau started off having personal reasons to grit and bear the bullshit, properly committing when it was to save Leina and later feeling responsible for being Haman's specific target and killing/endangering people near him, but when he lost them he stopped caring. It wasn't exactly a change of heart.

THE ONE
THE ONLY


Along with Victory being my favourite Gundam, Uso and the entire cast really are my favourite Gundam characters. Uso's development was very nuanced and continued at a steady pace throughout the show, as the events around him affected him but yet he remained true to who he was as a person. Very much like Kamille, by the end of the series he had grown up and was able to shoulder the responsibilities he had been (forcefully) given - but he was very much still a kid at the core. Those episodes toward the end after he had met up with his father, where he was fighting but couldn't really focus because he couldn't help but think "My dad's watching me, I wonder if he thinks I'm cool, I want to impress him", like the little boy he is. Almost desperate for his father's approval.
All the meanwhile you've got his father on the bridge of the ship, watching on almost in horror as his son skillfully takes on dozens of Zanscare mooks with ease. His own son, forced to fight and put his life on the line, had become so "powerful".

V Gundam is painfully underrated.

I do like Setsuna, but I've gotta go with Tobia. I utterly love that little absolute lunatic

I rather enjoyed Crossbone, but after I read it I saw a lot of criticism, and upon reflection most of it was on point. I just hadn't noticed or cared because Tobia single-handedly carried the series for me. He's such an anomaly for a Gundam protagonist: upbeat with a positive attitude and a practical get-shit-done approach that more inclined him to do something productive rather than angst, and compassionate without being naïve. A bit of a temper at times, but losing it only ever led to him doing something wonderfully crazy, like biting the man holding him at gunpoint, or beating his interrogator down with a chair while still tied to it, or decking a wannabe Peace Princess. And with an highly improvisational combat style that led to all kinds of creative stunts.

Oh, and while his mentor lived under an assumed name to accompany his love interest to save the world from Jupiter and the two of them stayed apart for years as a result? Yeah, no, you bet your ass that when placed in that same scenario, Tobia motherfucking Arronax was tapping that the whole time.

>>15263371
I'm going to say that all of the UC protagonists would fight Celestial Being. Maybe Shiro would let the side down

>>15267413
Most Gundam protagonists would fight CB, they are literally terrorists. The Wing boys might not object to them (maybe), but the feeling wouldn't be mutual.

Kira, of course, would be outraged at their actions in spite of the fact that he has the same MO they do except with less self awareness.

Pic related, mostly because of all the entertainment his story provides. Zeta was a great ride, even if somewhat inconsistent.

Uso deserves a mention as well, even if mostly because of all the controversial character interactions he had. The way he was forced to deal with being surrounded by adults and fighting a war felt a bit different from the usual Gundam recipe.

Mika has no character growth. Brainless psycopath he was in episode 1, brain psycopath he still is in episode 45. You can't really compare him with Setsuna. While Setsuna starts as a child soldier, over the course of Gundam 00 two seasons he comes to understand and regret what he did. He opens up to Marina and because of this (re) discovers his humanity.

One and only.

To be honest, pic related.

- No random boring teenager;
- Realistic adult soldier (a bit fearless, a bit suicidal, a bit pussy, all mixed).
- No newtype/coordinator/inovade bullshit, just a regular guy from the army with personal ideal.
- "Straight to the point" lider, without being bossy.
- His subordinates, in general, respects him.
- Can kill (and will kill), but only if necessary (he's not a brainless psycho grunt).
- Did what he thought was right (and quit army, accepting the penalties);
- Lost a leg in combat;
- Fucked the waifu;
- Became a father;
- Live in peace with himself.

He was very adamant that humans had the power to change the world, and had massive contempt for adults like Haman, who had the power but refused to do good (or what Judau believed was good).

In the end he shirked off any responsibility and ran away to Jupiter. Maybe it's not exactly a change of heart but it's a drastic change in his philosophy and his emotion.

Officially, it'd probably between Amuro, Shiro, and Io. Unofficially, it'd be unquestionably based Bright Noa. Even though he was never the MC in a canon animated feature, he has taken the lead role in manga.
