** [[Characters/DragonBallZamasu Zamasu]] is one for Char Aznable, more specifically his iteration in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char's Counterattack]]''. Char's growing cynicism over humanity's capacity for conflict ultimately compelled him to attempt to drop an asteroid into Earth to force mankind to migrate into space so they can evolve into Newtypes, while Char is at his core is hypocritical and manipulative, his intentions remain questionable at best as this was his only way of preventing more conflicts from happening. Zamasu begins to question why mortals have the capacity for evil and why they have squandered the life and wisdom given to them by the gods, and even questioned the gods' refusal to be involved with the affairs of the mortal realm. Zamasu's own growing cynicism over mortals ultimately led to him enacting his Zero Mortals Plan, to the point of attempting genocide and deicide on a multiversal scale. Then, there's Zamasu's personal grudge towards Goku, his defeat at the hands of the Saiyan would ultimately be the final push to his descent into madness. Of all the other Char Clones, Zamasu's endgame is evocative that of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Rau Le Creuset]].

** If Shinji Ikari is the Amuro Ray, then Asuka Langley Souryuu would be the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable]] (and [[CharClone she clearly takes cues from him]]), but whereas Char remained a consistent and tangible threat to the heroes even in spite of the growing Newtype power gap versus Amuro, Asuka is ultimately shown to be a jobber when compared to Shinji and even Rei. She's also shown to be a deeply fucked-up and emotionally-vulnerable girl beneath all her bravado and caustic attitude. Her final breakdown in the battle against Armisael leads to her being unable to activate Eva-02 anymore, and when she does recover in ''End'' to fight the MP [=EVAs=], she's eventually killed and eviscerated by them, and when she recovers ''again'' by willing herself back to life, [[VillainousBreakdown she is left bedridden on the outside and dead on the inside]], reduced to [[EmptyShell a catatonic, blank slate]]. Asuka acts as a cruel deconstruction of the CharClone, having the AcePilot status but showing her [[TheRival rival]] dynamic to be toxic and debilitating for her, and also showing her to ultimately come up short.
