** The [[AceCustom faster MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type]] was still being tested, meaning he was using the ''standard model'', [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority only painted red]] and with an antenna on the head, and he was ''still'' [[MemeticMutation three times faster than the standard Zaku II]] (that at the time was the MS-06C, [[UpToEleven known to be relatively slow]]). To make this more awesome, not only [[TheRival his rivals, the Black Tri-Stars]], had added thrusters to their rides but were ''still'' slower, but when the MS-06S was put into production it kept Char's antenna as ''a standard feature''... Meaning ''his rivals were forced to copy him for a while'';

** And we also have the three older Zabi siblings, who, knowing that Revil had some spy among Zeon's generals but not his identity, announced a battle plan that effectively made sense (attacking Tianem's fleet (a match for ''Zeon's whole navy'') with their entire fleet while an elite force of mobile suits, led by Char and Gaia, would attack Revil's fleet (''at least '''twice that number''''') to make it leak. The actual plan? Zeon's fleet, led by Dozle, effectively engaged Tianem, only to fill the area with Minovsky particles to cut the communications and disengage. In the meantime, Char's force had attacked Loum and ''wrecked every single launch bay'' to simulate an attempt at a ColonyDrop, forcing Revil to divide his forces and send half of his ships, including the carriers, to Loum... Just in time to get rushed by Dozle ''and'' Ortega MS squadron, getting on the wrong end of a CurbStompBattle while Char did the same on the ships sent at Loum ''without warship support''.

** His first victim, the carrier, was ''shot in the hangar'', [[NoKillLikeOverkill adding her fighters' own nuclear munitions to the explosive power]];

** His first victim, the carrier, was ''nuked in the hangar'', [[NoKillLikeOverkill adding her fighters' own nuclear munitions to the explosive power]];
** The final victim, a cruiser, was destroyed with a single nuke. ''Char himself'' wasn't sure he could pull it off;
** A subordinate offered him his last spare bazooka magazine with four nukes, but Char refused and told him to kick ass and reap glory even for Ramba Ral, who wasn't taking part in the battle.

*** FridgeLogic implies another for Char: those hooligans won't ever sleep well again, because they torched TheDreaded Red Comet's home, as far as they know they may even have killed his parents (not really: they were on the last ship bound for Zeon leaving Loum's main bunch when Char nuked the launch bay and the ship), and ''he knows their faces''. [[CosmicPlaything And in fact the two punks on Side 7 who, during Char's attack, tried to beat up Frau Bow and Sayla to take their places on the]] ''[[CosmicPlaything White Base]]'' [[CosmicPlaything and ended up being left there, looks suspiciously like two of the hooligans that attacked Texas Bunch...]]

** One for the Federation: completely blindsided by the attacks and surprised by the sheer effectiveness of nuke-equipped mobile suits, [[CurbStompCushion Revil's fleet still decimated Zeon's navy]]. One can only wonder what would have happened had Ryu's been believed when he stumbled on Dozle's fleet approaching Revil...

** Dozle in general: whenever he's not been the comic relief, he's showing his awesome strength, sheer charisma (to the point that, during Casval and Artesia's escape to Earth, the Federation soldiers who had been ordered to take down the hijacked Guntank did not dare do so until they had ''his permission''), and [[HiddenDepths the fact he's just as smart as Gihren and Kycilia]], if more naive. Shown ''extremely'' well in the flashback, when he casually mentions to Char he knows exactly ''he'', and not Garma, was the real culprit behind the Dawn Uprising (hence why Char is being expelled from the Military Academy for it: most people think he's been made TheScapegoat for Garma, but Dozle punished the real culprit), is shown to be the one who conceived the mobile suit in first place, and, before Loum, notices that Zeon's other generals are intimidated by the Federation's fleet overwhelming superiority and motivates them with a simple reminder that a defeat would mean trial and execution as war criminals-before telling them the fake plan to leak and lure Revil in a trap and go to personally win the Battle of Loum.

* When Sasro is assassinated by a car bomb, it's initially thought that Dozle was killed along with him, since he was sitting right next to Sasro. Instead, Dozle kicks the door out, [[MadeOfIron lacking any kind of serious injury whatsoever]], and starts screaming bloody revenge against his brother's killer.

** The battle was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iIogZju9dw recreated]] in the first movie based on the manga series, and it gloriously showcases just how much of a beast Char is in combat. Even his rivals, the Three Black Stars, have to admit he's good (and that's after they took down a battleship with a heat hawk. That is, a mecha-sized ''axe''), and ''it's them who first compared him to a [[RedBaron Red Comet]]''

* Gihren gets one in a lull during the Battle of A Baoa Qu, when Char comes to him to ask for the [[SuperPrototype Jeong]] to face Amuro... Except that, before he can ask, Gihren makes clear he and ''Lalah'' were just pawns to him, holds him at sword point (they were in his personal weapon museum at A Baoa Qu, and he ''just happened'' to have a sabre in his hand when Char entered), asks him if he's there to kill him on Kycilia's orders or on his own, and ''explains he knows his true identity and Char can't do nothing to restore his father's vision of Zeon''. [[MagnificentBastard Char himself]] is left speechless and impressed by that (especially as his explanation involved revealing the existence of a secret service that ''[[TheSpymaster Kycilia]]'' didn't know of), and ''swears loyalty to him''.
* Another one for Gihren, evident only through FridgeLogic: at some point after Ramba Ral's death, he had conquered the loyalty of ''Zeon Daikun's loyalists''. To the point that, upon his death at Kycilia's hand, the one in his staff doesn't even consider informing her of [[spoiler: [[RightfulKingReturns Artesia]]]]'s possible return, but runs to confirm it and then ''starts a mutiny'' with the twin objectives of placing [[spoiler: Artesia]] in power and avenging Gihren.
** Which becomes FridgeBrilliance when it's shown in the flashbacks how similar Gihren is in some ways to Zeon Daikun. To the point of Degwin calling him out as a "fiend possessed by Daikun's grudges." It's little wonder then how [[spoiler:he managed to win over Daikun's loyalists.]]

Instead, Dozle kicks the door out, [[MadeofIron lacking any kind of serious injury whatsoever]], and starts screaming bloody revenge against his brother's killer.

** Then we have Dren, who took part to the battle as the CAG of Char's mothership, who not only told him off for not returning at the ship after the preliminary strike before the battle when everyone else (including the ship's captain) was too awed by his pre-Loum exploits to do so (and Char choose him as the commander of the ''Falmel'' precisely because he would speak his mind while doing his job), but ''continued after what Char pulled at Loum''.

** The battle was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iIogZju9dw recreated]] in the first movie based on the manga series, and it gloriously showcases just how much of a beast Char is in combat.

* Here we finally find out how Char knew of a back entrance into Jaburo that even the Federation didn't know of: before the war, he had ''joined the workers that built Jaburo just for this''. He didn't find out, but befriended a group of Yanomani that told him of it.

* In the flashback in Volume 5, a younger Ramba Ral goes out to bring Sayla's pet cat Lucifer... even going out in his armored car (and braving the implied snipers). He did get scratched up, though (Sayla forgot to tell him that Lucifer doesn't trust strangers), but the scene could count as a Crowning Moment of Funny, Heartwarming, AND Awesome bundled-up into a single package for Ral!
