0157: Char's Deleted Affair Review Part 1
About this episode
The episode reviews the first half of the manga 'MSG: Char's Deleted Affair' and discusses character transformations and plot elements leading to Zeta Gundam.
We begin our road to Zeta by investigating how Zeon's Char Aznable of UC 0079 became the AEUG's Quattro Bajeena of UC 0087. There is no better way to do this of course than cracking open Hiroyuki Kitazume's 2001 manga, MSG: Char's Deleted Affair: Portrait Of Young Comet! On this episode, we review and discuss the first half (volumes 1-7) of this often polarizing story, including M'Quve's unquestionable demise redux, whether Maharaja Karn is really a Peacecraft from the After Colony timeline, Axis' Windows installation being out of date, the relative distance of Axis to the Earth Sphere, cameos galore, Fabian the (false) space rizzler and his frozen roses, the sliding scale of increasing Gundams, Char Aznable being without a sail for the first time in his life, and the triggering event in young Haman Karn's future that sets her down the path to become ZZ's final boss. Plus, Isaac is forced to read about Char on his birthday... and he likes it?
