It's still heartbreaking everytime i hear about this. Apart of me is glad that we'll never see it visually.

1. Odelo Herik's death in Victory GUndam episode 51: Totally unexpected and sadest one ever.
2. Death of Bernie Wiseman on 0080 War in a Pocket: Tragic ending
3. Death of Jinn Gehenamann and the old guys on the reinforce junior on Victory GUndam episode 50: Kamikaze attack. Simplay brutal.
4. Death of Uso's mother on Victory GUndam: Her head was sliced clean off lol
5. Possible Death of Amuro and Char in Char's Counterattack

You know, Gundam has a plethora of amazing death scenes. I honestly never thought about it until now. I think time really helped though, since in full honesty I thought Gundam 00 had the best death scenes out of them all.

First I'm going to point out some characters we may have forgotten. =D

Spoiler for Garma Zabi & Dozle Zabi:

You know, people don't give Garma Zabi enough credit. Sure he wasn't exactly a character of any importance, and his death wasn't tragic, but he definitely died in an epic fashion. Getting setup by Char and then in his last moments attempting to crash his Gaw with its crew pretty much annihilated in to the White Base is pretty damn admirable. Not to mention he yells: "Glory to the Principality of Zeon!" immediately before his death.

There's also Dozle Zabi who was probably the biggest badass in Gundam Universal Century. Not only does he get the Big Zam which he uses to kill Sleggar Law, but when he loses in battle to Amuro he climbs out of the cockpit and starts firing an SMG at him. The guy had balls, and so much so that Amuro was basically afraid of him after he did that. He died because the Big Zam exploded! How can I not honor this man?

Spoiler for Andrew Waltfeld (SEED) + Wife & Ramba Ral:

Let's face it, Andrew Waltfeld and Ramba Ral are the same person. They both fight in the desert, they both adored their wives (I forget if Ramba Ral's wife fought with him at all), and they were both noble and honorable men. Both of them die in combat against their enemies, obviously. In the case of Ramba Ral, he commits suicide with his own grenade in the hand of the Gundam after being cornered on White Base by the bridge crew, without any hesitance. He dies saying: "You have fought splendidly, but now you'll see the ultimate fate that awaits true warriors." On the other hand, Andrew Waltfeld dies in direct battle in his LaGOWE against the Strike Gundam, accompanied by his wife. His final moment is them embracing each other in the cockpit immediately before their moment of death.

Again, I couldn't not mention these two great men. =D

Now to be honest, I think Nicole's death might have been one of the more memorable ones. Out of all of them his was definitely one of the most tragic. You knew he was going to die because out of all of them he was the nicest guy. Too bad for him.

Lockon Stratos was definitely up there as well as being one of the sad ones. As well as Chris and Lichty.

I agree with you, but Andrew Waltfeld didn't die.

Goodman's death was similarly epic. After all, a guy who boasts about overwhelming the enemies with numbers and had the audacity to carry out atrocities at the expense of innocent lives (he could have done otherwise though orders were given by the top achelons, like Kati) should not run wild before his inevitable death.

Seriously, death is not enough for this guy.

At least Arba Lindt didn't run. Oops, sorry, he didn't even have the opportunity to run.

I completely forgot about Dozle and Garma. They did go out spectacularly. Kycillia had a pretty awesome finish as well. You could say it... blew her mind! Yeah... I apologize, it's been a while since I've used a really bad pun...


I will say, hands down, that the most memorable death for me was Paptimus Scirocco's. Never in my Gundam-crazed life have I seen such an asshole of a character (though the Frost brothers are definitely close), and watching his end literally made my jaw drop. I won't spoil it for those woh haven't seen it, but my god, MY GOD, is it the most awesome moment in Gundam (for me) ever.

Wait... He survived that? My memory must be fuzzy then.

Attention Animesuki: Andrew Waltfeld is now HONORARILY dead.

Kycilia's death was ok. There's definitely better deaths. As far as Scirocco goes his death was definitely interesting. I never got far enough in Zeta to see him die, but I saw how it happens when I found this thread. Somebody posted a picture of it a couple pages back as well.

You know who had a really memorable death? Flay Allstar.
Ding Dong the Witch is dead. RIP Slut Slut.

Yeah, Waltfeld survived. Lost a good bit of himself but he did survive the battle. Aisha didn't.

You lose points for bashing Flay though. =X

[GrahamAker]

For me , it will be rau le creuset's death in seed and bring stability in 00

[Rawinder]

Saddest deaths are Bernie in 0080 and Kyoji in G Gundam.

Most epic deaths are Glemmy in ZZ and Chronicle in Victory. Honorable mention to the redshirt in F91 that Zabine shot in the face.

[Akuma_Blade]

-Bernie Wiseman (0080)
-Neil Dylandy (Gundam 00)
-Anavel Gato (0083)

totally heroic deaths...

[Scorch]

Bernie - 0080. Reason should be obvious to anyone who saw 0080.

Norris Packard - he had an epic fight against a vastly superior force, and succeeded in his mission while allowing himself to be killed at the same time. I'm pretty sure he could have killed the whole 08th MS Team if he had actually wanted to.

Kate - V Gundam. She held a collapsing structure with her MS after it was damaged. She had absolutely no way to fight back, and the enemy pilot talked with her a bit before pulling out a beam saber and impaling her.

[jonli]

I guess I don't have to mention Bernie since he's like in everyone's post.

There actually isn't really a death of a character in any Gundam series that was spectacularly memorable for me. Something close would be Sochie wearing Gavane's wedding dress for her, but it wasn't the death that made it memorable for me, it was Sochie.

However there are A LOT of violent deaths in Gundam that SCARRED me for life. An example would be that insane bikini woman that got vaporized by Usso in the Angel Halo, that scene was burnt into my mind. It was so cruel, she made a small "urp" and then just turned into atoms. No trace of existence .
Another one of those would be the bridge bunnies in Seed in the Earth Alliance Lunar base, who all inflated and burst into bubbles of blood. That was brutal, and very unexpected...

Yeah, that was particularly disgusting.

I've hope that among people in this forum that someone will be cultivated to be a leader that is worthy of ending war once and for all. Perhaps even realize the "Gundam" dream.

[AaKkisa]

I will say it, for me my most memorable death was Anew. It wasn't even when the Gaddess blew up, it was when "Trust You" by Yuna Ito started to play slowly. This 23-yr old eye's welled up instantly.

[Atlantis_Lux]

A Gundam series is not worth of its name without tragic deaths :P
Among the many the ones that moved me more were Nicol's and Mwu's deaths in Gundam SEED. The first was expected, but not less tragic, while the second truly surprised me. I really thought (hoped?) he was going to make it XD
Then, the fact that they both died in a truly painfully way to protect people they cared only add to the awesomeness of the moments.
Yeah... a pity it was decided to bring Mwu back...

[toru_toru]

Definitely Flay Allster's death from Gundam seed. She died just as I began to like her. Flay Allster definitely contradicted from the cliched Gundam character. She showed qualities that were more admirable and in the end, she accepted the reality of war. She only acted like a bitch because she was insecure, I don't think thats something to bring her down on.

[SoranGTR]

Tragic
- Nicol from Gundam Seed. While some found his last line "Mother...my piano" rather lame, to me it suited him perfectly. He was a reluctant soldier, and a very young one as that. He should have been like any carefree teen, pursuing his love for the piano. Instead he ends up on the battlefield, and dies on it. Such is the tragedy of total war

-Anew from 00. This one is a tear-jerker, especially when Lyle and Anew were so close to being united with each other. The only consolation was that 00 Gundam's happy dust allowed them to say goodbye to each other. Lyle bashing Setsuna like a punching bag in frustration and rage was the icing on the cake

-Sergei. A career soldier who knew to do what was right, whose only flaw was not connecting with his son who had closed off his heart to him. He deserved much better than to be killed by his own flesh and blood.

[KimmyS]

I cried for good 10 minutes for Lockon Stratos
