* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Shiro Amada leaving the titular MS team can rankle, especially his motivation for doing so. He’s abandoning his teammates and a cause he knows, better than any other Gundam protagonist ever has, is fundamentally valid and necessary; Shiro saw the Zeon gas attacks with his own eyes, with dozens if not hundreds of people dying hideous, ugly, incredibly painful deaths right in front of him. He doesn't quit because this gave him the worst case of PTSD ever, apparently having coped with it quite well during the ~six months before the series starts. Shiro quits because Aina Sahalin is hot. That's it. And that makes him a bit of a shit.

These are both ZC Es. "Could be this" means "is not this at the moment." And the entry about Packard doesnt say why he's considered a memetic badasd, its just "hey the name's the same"


* DracoInLeatherPants: Ginias is ripe for this. Very little about his FreudianExcuse is touched upon, but he could possibly be turned into this by an unskilled writer.



* MemeticBadass: Norris Packard. Having a first name which is a surname of [[Creator/ChuckNorris another Memetic Badass]] probably helps...

** Shiro Amada. Some fans would have preferred a more realistically "unaware" character like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Bernie]], but others enjoy him for his compassionate personality and his devoted love to Aina.

** Shiro Amada.

Him peeping on an underage girl and abandoning his comrades in the middle of battle for an enemy soldier he barely knew doesn't help endear him to some people either.

Killing the 07th happened first. And he only blew the ship up after Ginias violated the ceasfire and killed Federation soldiers.

** Ghinias Sahalin. Either you think of him as pure evil, a TragicMonster / JerkassWoobie, or a DracoInLeatherPants. There's NOTHING in between.
** To fans who prefer the more realistically "unaware" characters like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Bernie]], Shiro Amada also counts in several occasions, given his compassionate personality & his devoted love to Aina.

Added DiffLines:

* BrokenBase: The Gunpla community is split between the original [[http://dalong.net/review/old/083/083.htm 1998 HG version of the Ez8]] versus the [[http://dalong.net/review/hg/h155/h155_i.htm 2013 HGUC version]]. While normally 15 years of progress make the comparison obvious, the original version has some features that give it a unique advantage over the HGUC, specifically an opening cockpit and maintenance hatch on the chest, a figurine of Shiro Amada, and plastic buckles for the parachute pack. The HGUC version lacks these (it uses stickers for the parachute pack), though its detail, color accuracy, and articulation are considerably better, though with a higher listing price. The base is sharply divided on which is the better version.
