Are Amuro and Char still alive or did the massive psyic pressure kill them?

Shinji103 · 2006-10-19, 13:08

Simply put: nobody really knows.

RX-78GP04G Gerbera · 2006-10-19, 13:58

Nobody truly knows, but last I read, they were considered KIA since there is absolutely no sign of them anywhere else afterwards.

I think it would cheapen the greatest emotional moment in all of gundam if Char or Amuro survived.

I mean, shit, that is like...the best scene in all of gundam, If not all of anime!

The Sandman · 2006-10-19, 15:05

From what I've heard, the novel version makes it explicitly clear that they both died when Amuro's suit overloaded.

Cogwheim · 2006-10-19, 15:44

I'm certain that they both survived.

In my heart.

Fafnir · 2006-10-19, 17:21

No Mu please, they're dead.

Badass characters die badass deaths and stay dead in their badass graves. Coming back to life after a badass death leads to a 100% decrease in badassery.

I don't know about Amuro, but as long as they're 15 year old girls roaming the universe I gotz to believe Char survived...

Tak · 2006-10-19, 19:47

I am sorry, even if I am the only oneI must say, Char died very friggin cheaply in that movie. He died, basically at Amuro's mercy, and inside a tiny escape pod. That was no bad ass death, he basically died in a floating prison.

I had expected them to both DIE as a result of a climatic duel. Or at least, died while both trying to 'protect' the world.

The same goes for many other characters, who died cheaply and needlessly. I've never liked Tomino's killing spree, and I don't think I ever will...

Never saw the series... But if they make a new season with Fukada&wife in charge then.....

(good point could be we get two masked guys, maybe they suck less next time

)

wingdarkness · 2006-10-19, 19:58

Well we can't say for sure he did die...I still think it's open to interpretation...Char being my all-time fav Gundam character I just won't believe he died in that cockpit...but even if he did that emotion and bitter respect he showed to Amuro will always stick with me...The Duel though IMO was climatic filled with great banter, and the standard "Amuroooooooooooo!!!", "Chaaaaaaaaaaaar!!" scream of destiny...

CrimsonBlitz · 2006-10-20, 00:52

I wouldnt say Char died a Cheap death. HE did die under a Axis.....And Amuro did Hack the Sazabi. And Char nd Amuro even Fought when Amuro had the MP Zeta. And that was for the 14.3 seconds that it played. I mean they both died giving everyone a biggg Light show and come on.....How many people can die saying " I Pushed a asteroid back and saved earth. With a Badd ASs Light show...."

Well, once you're dead, I don't think anyone can really be saying anything.

SNT1 · 2006-10-20, 02:40

I think the two are about as alive as Tupac and Elvis.

HEDGESMFG · 2006-10-22, 16:02

Depends upon who you ask...

According to Yoshiyuki Tomino, they are dead.

According to Amuro's Seiyuu, Tohru Furuya, he genuinely believes they're alive.

Obviously, Tomino has more authority on the subject, but when it comes to the film, it's pretty much up to the viewer to make their own conclusion.

Meehlimo · 2006-10-22, 18:02

Heres sumthin for u all to think about in crossbone gundam didnt a machine have a copy of amuros brain patterns or sumthing? and crossbone takes place like how many years after CCA? where did they get the copy i doubt at the time amuro would make one...

RX-93 HI-NU · 2006-10-22, 18:22

If i remember correctly they found his abandoned core fighter and used the data from that.

No way! that thing was in space like 60 years and they were able to get it working to get the data?

Shinji103 · 2006-10-22, 21:41

Erm, you mean the core fighter from the One Year War. You're talking about the Jupiter Empire recovering the original RX-78-2 Gundam's core fighter, abandoned after the battle at A Bao A Qu, and used the battle data stored in its computer. Hence, that's no indication of whether or not Amuro survived the incident with Axis.

I dont really see how it isnt impossible. There is nothing in space to cause corrosion or anything it just gets really really cold. Unless of course it gets repeatedly hit by space junk then maybe I can see how it would no longer be working.
