Gundam meme: day 3

Day 3 - Favorite Gundam character

Anavel Gato*, the Nightmare of Solomon. He's the extremely idealistic antagonist in 0083 Stardust Memory, whose devotion to the Zeon cause is terrifying. (He just wants the Spacenoids to be free from the oppressive Earth Federation...) He's also a terrifying badass who actually gets done what he set out to do with a minimum of emo whining and angst: the complete opposite of pretty much every Gundam protagonist or antagonist ever. (There's one scene, right before the start of Operation Stardust, where he's sitting in the window with his hair loose around his face and thinking about the ghosts of his comrades in the Solomon Sea.)

He steals the RX-78GP02A Physalis (prototype), the Gundam designed by the Feddies to launch a NUCLEAR WARHEAD (which is against the treaty they signed, of course), which is huge and slow and has ridiculous armor, and he still kicks Uraki's ass. Terrifying, competent badass.

*spoiler alert for the entire plot of 0083 and what Operation Stardust is all about
