Blue and Orange Moralitiy implies a morality that normal people cannot get their heads around, because it is so fundamentally alien. There\'s nothing alien about \"Latches onto people like you\" irrespective of what causes it. Newtypes aren\'t that different from normal people, and there\'s nothing particularly alien about Quess—she\'s an impulsive teenager with no moral compass, and as you yourself admit, horomones do play a role there.

* SixthRanger: To Neo-Zeon.



A Cyber-Newtype who acts as Char's right-hand man, Gyunei seems like a relatively rational kid, who tries to bring a sense of balance to Neo-Zeon's leadership. After being assigned to train Quess it's revealed that he's actually highly unstable beneath the surface, and harbours delusions of replacing Char as leader of Neo-Zeon.

That\'s a bit of an oversimplification. One of the biggest things about Newtypes is the way they rapidly form emotional connection with each other. It\'s at the heart of their powers, and the centre of Dikun\'s Newtype philosophy. Quess is basically what happens when you act only on that. Yes, teenage hormones play a part too, but not as much of one as they might otherwise, given the setting and context.

The protagonist of the original ''MobileSuitGundam'', Amuro is a twenty-nine year old veteran who has pretty much seen it all and done it all. He leads the Londo Bell squadron, has a longstanding grudge against Char, and is one of the few people who seems to take the threat of a new war against Neo-Zeon seriously.
----



Amuro's commander during the One Year War, Bright is the veteran of three separate wars. Like Amuro, he doesn't trust Char at all.
----



* AFatherToHisMen: He really tries.



Neo-Zeon's new leader, Char Aznable has a long and ugly history with Amuro Ray and Earth/space relations. Submerging himself in his role as the son of Zeon's founder, Char has lost touch with reality, and now seeks to set himself up as a messianic figure. He has developed a warped political ideology based on the idea that Earth should be uninhabited, and is planning to drop a meteor on the planet in the name of...world peace?
----



* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The political ideology he preaches and the image he presents is eerily similar to that of Gihren Zabi and Glemmy Toto, the UC's Hitler analogues.



* PuttingOnTheReich: Much more so than in previous installments.

* BreakTheCutie: Was a CuteShotaroBoy who went to space to join his father. ItGotWorse. [[spoiler: The ''Hathaway's Flash'' novels show that not only he never recovered, but it got EVEN WORSE. Though said only took place after The Novel Verson of Char's Counterattack and not the film, so it may have been Non-Canon. Or at least an AlternateUniverse.]]
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight (To Quess. It ''almost'' works. But then Chen shot her down.)
* NozomuSasaki
* TheScrappy

'''Kayra Su'''

* ActionGirl
** ActionGirlfriend (her boyfriend is a NonActionGuy)
* BoisterousBruiser
* HairOfGold
* HotAmazon
* PinkGirlBlueBoy (with her NonActionGuy lover, Astonage)
* ShinobuAdachi
* [[spoiler: VasquezAlwaysDies.]]

'''Astonage Mendoza'''

* ActionSurvivor
* MauveShirt
* MrFixit
* NonActionGuy
* [[spoiler: SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome]]
* TheWoobie

!! Neo Zeon

'''Char Aznable'''
* [[{{Bishonen}} Biseinen]] (At age 33 he's too old to count as a bishonen, but he definitely looks [[http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Games/D/Dynasty%20Warriors%20Gundam%202/Everything%20Else/ART/Finished/CharAznable_sm--article_image.jpg much]] [[http://www.akadot.com/images_osc/4048529838.jpg different]]/more prettyboy-ish than he did in earlier series.)
* [[BlondGuysAreEvil Blond Guys Are]] Very Brutal [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned Extremists]]
* EnemyMine (The situation in SuperRobotWarsDestiny causes Char to have the competence to ally with you at the start since things are bad enough. Due to the [[VictoryGundam Zanscare Empire]] attacking Earth, along with the [[GetterRobo Invaders]], and the [[{{Macross7}} Protodevlin]], and the united alien forces of the villains from [[MiraiRoboDaltanious Daltanius]], {{Godmars}} and {{Grendizer}}, your heroes quickly realize pretty much the only organizations out there that still have the sheer manpower to defend humanity are the Principality of Zeon and the Order of the Zodiac. Thankfully, Roger Smith takes care of the negotiations.)
* FallenHero (From his [[ZetaGundam Quattro Bagina days]])
* HonorBeforeReason (To the point of sending his enemies the blueprints for the Psycho Frame: he thought it would be pointless to defeat Amuro if he wasn't piloting a competitive Mobile Suit)
* ISurrenderSuckers (and the Federation completely fall for it)
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority
* {{Lolicon}} (According to rumor in-universe. How much he actually feels for Quess and how much he's just manipulating her is open to interpretation.)
** Considering what Gyunei told Quess at some point, this is an AscendedMeme. Or at least Gyunei trying to be GenreSavvy in regards to Quess.
* MagnificentBastard
* ManipulativeBastard (He has no problem using his people's feelings towards him to ensure their loyalty)
* MichaelKopsa
* MisaimedFandom (Yes, there are those who think he's the good guy of the movie, and that Amuro is a misguided fool for trying to stop him...)
* NecessarilyEvil (Does not make excuses for himself. He simply thinks what he's doing is necessary for the future of mankind)
* PureIsNotGood (Lalah Sune called him "pure" in Amuro's DreamSequence)
* RedBaron (Red Comet)
* ShuichiIkeda
* ShutUpHannibal: Given a few by the Alpha Numbers in SuperRobotWarsAlpha 2
** Jeeg
-->'''KotetsuJeeg''': You bastard...! What pleasure do you get from wiping out the Earth with an asteroid!?\\
'''Char''': It's not like it's what I want to do. I'm carrying this out for the sake of all mankind!\\
'''Kotetsu Jeeg''': Shut up! You think I'll let you touch my Mom and Mayumi down there on Earth for your own selfish reasons!?
** [[MazingerZ Kouji Kabuto]]
-->'''Char''': But, if things continue this way, people's hatred will consume the very Earth itself. That's why I'm cutting through to the source of the problem.\\
'''Kouji''': Don't feed me that crap!! I've been [[HannibalLecture listening to this from the start]] and all you've done is give a bunch of complicated justifications!!
* StartOfDarkness (Char's reason for colony dropping Axis in SuperRobotWarsAlpha 2 is more or less born out of seeing the records of the [[TurnAGundam Black History]]. He repeatedly lampshades through the rest of SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden that he's seriously wondering if humanity really is doomed to eternally screw themselves over and over again, which provides the convenient bridge to his FaceHeelTurn in Alpha 2.)
* TrueFinalBoss (In SuperRobotWarsIMPACT)
* WorthyOpponent (What he considers Amuro to be)

'''Quess Paraya'''

* AbusiveParents (Well, not really abusive... but it's clear that both her father and WickedStepmother care nothing for her)
* DarkActionGirl
* DoubleStandard (Char wants to drop a huge asteroid on Earth? Awesome! Quess wants to help him because she sincerely believes in him? Unforgivable!)
* TheEmpath (In SuperRobotWarsDestiny, when [[GetterRobo Ryoma in the Black Getter]] starts carving up the Invaders with humans trapped within them, she begins feeling their pain with the other Newtypes)
* FallenPrincess
* GirlishPigtails
* HeroicSacrifice (Her last act was to push Hathaway's MS out of the way of the missiles that eventually killed her)
* LonelyRichKid (Her family's neglection of her her hints that she might have been like this)
* LittleMissBadass (she's just 13)
* MariaKawamura
* TheScrappy (and HOW!)
* SelfMadeOrphan (Unknowingly, and her father was such an asshole, anyway, that it almost counts as a KickTheSonOfABitch)
* UnlimitedWardrobe (Changes clothes several times in the movie)
* {{Yandere}} (Somewhat)

'''Gyunei Guss'''

* AlliterativeName
* IOweYouMyLife (He tells Quess that his parents were killed in a ColonyDrop, so Char took him in and trained him)
* DragonWithAnAgenda
* {{Jerkass}}
* KirbyMorrow
* KoichiYamadera
* [[spoiler: MoralEventHorizon (His really cruel and completely unnecessary killing of Kayra Su. After defeating her in battle and neutralising the threat she posed to him, he grabbed her with the hands of his mecha to hold her hostage, and then ''he crushed her to death'')]]
* {{Tykebomb}}

'''Nanai Miguel'''

* EpilepticTrees (Rumors persisted for a long time that [[VictoryGundam Usso Irving]] was a descendant of her and Char. Jossed by WordOfGod.)
* TeamMom
* SilkHidingSteel
* YoshikoSakakibara

'''Rezun Schneider'''

* BadassNormal (One of the few non-Newtypes in Char's Neo Zeon)
* DarkActionGirl
* {{Jerkass}}
* KazueIkura

!!Others

'''Cameron Bloom'''

* IWantMyBelovedToBehappy (For Mirai, he'd do anything. [[spoiler: So he helps Bright as much as he can, specially by leaking confidential Feddie info to Londo Bell, so Earth won't be destroyed and she and Cheimin will survive.]] Considering he could be executed or trialed if caught, this is a BIG change from his MSG portrayal)
* OlderAndWiser
* TallDarkAndHandsome

'''Mirai Noah'''

* ActionSurvivor
* HotMom (due to the ArtEvolution, she looks quite prettier than in her previous incarnations)
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* YamatoNadeshiko

'''Cheimin Noah'''

* ActionSurvivor
* TheCutie
* {{Moe}}

'''Christina'''

* CoolBigSis: Apparently, Quess saw her as one.
* GranolaGirl
* TallDarkAndBishoujo


'''Adenauer Paraya'''

* AbusiveParents (He doesn't physically or sexually abuse his daughter Quess afaik, but he ''does'' neglect her emotionally to a tremendous degree. No wonder she sees ''Char'' as a better role model.)
* [[spoiler: DeathByIrony]]
* JerkAss
* SmugSnake
* WhatAnIdiot

'''Katherina Paraya'''

* WickedStepmother (Strongly hinted to be this to Quess, who hates her so much that she ''bites'' her hand. This makes Katherina refuse to go into space if it means she'll have to go with Quess, and this lets Mirai send Hathaway off to meet up with Bright)
