So what was this guy after all?
Container
A pitiful augmented human forced into Char’s cosplay by a crazy geologist (for real).
I found a nice-looking avatar, so Char used a remote control.
>>2I don’t really understand this part.
>>5In the original novel, he is completely a fake and thinks, “Everyone should perish like Zoltan, you idiots!” while causing havoc in the last battle with a severely damaged Sinanju. However, when adapting it into an anime, the voice actor said, “Isn’t it too pitiful for this person to be like that?” So, the character was changed to be one where Char’s lingering thoughts influence him to become a good person who seriously considers various things, resulting in a setting that is quite different from the original.
>>242It’s often said, but what is the source of this?
I thought it was a knockoff of Char, but there was something inside…
They are just enhanced humans who were modified to create a speaker like Char, changing both their face and voice.
What entered there was Char’s thoughts and goodwill, which became the TV version of Full Frontal.
The novel version of Frontale contains Char’s thoughts and malice.
To what extent was the original intention reflected in this?
Char’s impersonator.
I thought the conclusion was that you’re not even Char! But what does it mean that the real deal is installed?
If it were Char, he probably wouldn’t say let’s discuss things, so doesn’t he have quite a bit of ego? Although he might be largely influenced by Char.
It seems like that feeling is that Char’s soul possessed Full Frontal and Amuro was also somewhat enthusiastic about it?
I learned about Char from the parallel world and Super Robot Wars Z.
Narou system
Stylish kick!
Stylish Sniping!
Stylish rocket launcher!
The collar makes me look fat.
Even if I were to give Char a role, he was just too serious.
>>15If it were Char, he would probably stop the discussion halfway and say something annoying like “shut up!!!”
I heard that when this guy appears in pachinko, people feel disappointed.
I don’t know the current setting, but back when it was just the novel version, he was just a hollow person pretending to be Char, right?
>>18The novel version is for those who want to despair! Die!!! But I have somewhat installed Char’s thoughts.
That aside, the goal is to wreak havoc on the world with my malice.
In the novel, there was a part filled with a grudge that seemed to belong to Char.
In the anime, there was something that felt like it was possessed by the real person.
Honestly, I thought what this guy is saying seems more likely to happen and it’s good.
>>20Still
>>20That’s right.
I don’t understand why Banaj defeated it.
>>25I like how Banaji thinks like a true protagonist.
>>20Having acknowledged that, it’s just that there’s no passion and merely reversing the positions will lead to repetition, which is what the unicorn denied…
Char doesn’t say constructive things like isolating the Earth in the colony economic sphere!!
>>23This Minerva is quite… unexpected.
The passion of the Axis Drop
This guy is quite realistic, isn’t he?
It’s impossible, given the current situation, and it would be better to disclose the box.
It would be better to reconsider the verification of the Universal Century.
In the novel, there’s a part of Char’s resentment embedded in it, and because that resentment is there, I quietly thought I had a justifiable reason to get angry!
In the anime version, it really feels like the person is actually in it.
Char is also a crazy guy who drops meteors with strange momentum, so he probably has a good compatibility with those who are driven by a desire for destruction.
In the novel, it’s not Neo Zeong but the Sinanju’s high-speed refurbishment machine, right?
>>31Not even renovated.
Whether Sinanju’s head gets crushed or Frontale’s head gets blown off, the monster comes to kill.
>>38Scary…
>>31No, it’s just Sinanju.
In the final battle, in a state like a zombie with half of my body blown off after clashing with a Kshatriya.
The person among Char’s associates who thinks most seriously about the future of the Universal Century.
Because of that, that red guy who is not really Char…
What does it mean to have no heat…? Is it really okay for the Federation to continue hitting without changing their stance?
>>34I think G Reco wrote about that positively.
The final boss of the Universal Century.
A rare existence that can be resolved through dialogue.
Char is lying, right?
If it were Char, he would drop the colony before having a proper discussion or following through with things, right?
I like Episode 4…
I love the scene where this guy and Banaj move through time in space.
It feels like the first one with that animation and sense of speed.
If you can hear me, Banaji-kun, stop it. This is probably the only intention of the real Full Frontal.
>>43Um… that line’s patheticness feels very much like Char…
Is it really possible for Zeon, who committed genocide against space colonies, to conveniently replace the Earth government and take charge of the colonies?
The imitation seems to be liked by the person behind it, perhaps because there are no shameful parts.
It’s been said that there’s no passion, but isn’t it just a reversal of positions compared to before? Isn’t that a bit silly? That’s actually a pretty important counterargument.
It’s more realistic to extort the federation while hiding the box and create a co-prosperity zone, but let’s just free it and explore new possibilities instead of doing something so boring!
>>47What happened because of that?
>>50Still
I don’t think it’s really Char because he’s always so rational and detached.
In the first place, this guy is suggesting the idea of a side co-prosperity sphere with malice after seeing the time, isn’t he?
This isn’t Char.
Because it’s boring.
Let’s continue and watch NT as well.
It’s a story that’s much more impossible to save than this one.
The Sinanju in the final battle has a mysterious aura that makes it appear as a huge shadow, but it is not a giant MA powered purely by psycho power.
At first, it’s just a robot, but
In the latter half of the story, Frontal’s ego begins to emerge through his interactions with Banaj.
The high-dimensional Roboneo Gung is only used to persuade Banaj.
If the roles never reversed, I can’t help but think that the corruption of the federation wouldn’t stop.
Even if they say there’s no fever, if it were Char himself, he would start doing even worse things, so Frontal seems better in comparison.
>>59In the case of Char, for better or worse, there is too much enthusiasm and an excess of human flavor.
After watching UC, I watched Char’s Counterattack.
While talking as if we’re thinking about the future of humanity, we’re just having a silly lovers’ quarrel, and I’m like, “Huh?”
I couldn’t enjoy it much…
That idea is flawed, as even Frontar himself thinks that he can’t keep this up for long… It would ultimately just be a way to buy time…
Frontal-kun is hopelessly devoid of humanity.
Char’s charm lies in his humanity.
Even though he says things that sound profound, in the end, he is just an uncle who imposes his own despair on others, insisting that there’s nothing but the dark void at the end of time, making everything useless no matter what you do.
>>63I would be troubled if I had to bear the despair of middle-aged men that isn’t explicitly stated in that piercing OVA.
It’s true that I don’t have passion.
It’s not at that level; it’s just that those who think “the world should perish…” are coming up with plans that will later become the seeds of conflict.
The colonial co-prosperity sphere will never succeed if implemented.
As a character, I found this guy’s failed creation, Zoltan, to be more appealing.
>>66Zoltan exists precisely because success was ahead and stirred things up, so we can’t do without this person.
A Shaar that only has a public image stripped of Char’s interesting points.
I kept thinking throughout the story, “Since he’s good-looking, why doesn’t he take off the mask or get a haircut?”
>>68It might be Char, but that’s what’s important.
It’s not that I want to announce that I’m Char… is it?
In fact, the Universal Century is slow in everything, so it’s pointless to do anything; those who live in that era can live as they please.
But I like this guy because he’s the Red Comet and he’s really wearing a red pilot suit.
>>71That guy from Char’s Counterattack is the Red Comet, but he’s no good because he’s yellow!
I don’t know why, but the Psycho Shard is just too powerful as a weapon…
>>72I like that you are strong but don’t use it as a weapon for murder.
>>72If you wanted to, you could have taken out the unicorn instantly before even thinking about disarmament…
What do you think, Johnny Raiden?
Well, what seems like a sphere of co-prosperity has been realized with Zikuas…
“If it stays as it is in the original work, Frontale will not be rewarded.”
“Well then, I’ll make them a good person in the anime.”
“The original villain, Frontale, is a waste.”
“I’ll go with Zoltan.”
I want to see the last battle based on the novel in a video someday.
It’s boring because it only chooses the optimal solution.
It’s true that it holds Char’s despair and other emotions.
The Frontal himself thinks humanity is crap and wishes it would perish. I mean, the universe is going to end someday anyway, so whatever we do is pointless! That’s why it’s no good.
Since I’m an adult, I won’t show it at all.
As a human, you need to drop a lot of colonies with passion.
>>81Stop the X route.
>>81I wonder if Girelle is highly rated with this vector.
There is no one as passionate as that crazy person.
Honestly, I think Frontale is a victim of the anime adaptation… the original work was good.
>>82Liddy was originally like that from the novel…
Being completely naked, I know that what I’m saying will result in a war between colonies.
The charm of Frontal is not just about Char.
>>89If a young person I like says it, I will still give way.
Don’t try to do everything by yourself.
It is said that the anime had that ending because Hidetaka Ikeda said to let Frontale achieve peace.
The despair of middle age is one thing, but the ghosts should return to the dark world! The novel is very harshly critical of Frontal, and I think that’s a good thing, but the anime seems to portray him in a more favorable light.
>>91Mr. Ikeda is…
I made a doll of a cybernetic human just to recreate Char, and maybe because of its abilities, it turned out looking like an Itako.
Right now, I define myself as a vessel (I’m doing this because everyone says I should, but it probably won’t go well).
>>94But, but this feels the same as Char in Char’s Counterattack, right?
I wonder if there was an atmosphere that made it feel like Char would come over and say, “I understand~.”
>>112When I think “Damn it, it’s Char!” I put my all into it, but the big difference between us is that Frontale is really calm.
That is what Mineva discerned.
>>134Char has a decisive attitude when it comes to taking action…
>>160Moreover, I can do it fairly well to some extent.
Using 00 Quanta in conversation is Frontal.
It feels like Zoltan is used for extermination.
>>95The way of dialogue is negative…!
Is it a character that is really good at playing Char because it’s possessed by Char’s vengeful spirit?
Could it be that the reason viewers feel that Char is Char is due to positive aspects rather than just resentment?
They seem to be enjoying life after the Axis Shock more than I expected…
The concept of the Side Co-Prosperity Sphere is not a trap or anything like that.
It’s just a mechanical optimal solution, but in the end, everything sinks into emptiness, so it doesn’t mean anything.
>>98If you read the original work, you’ll understand, but it’s not really the optimal solution.
Let’s create enhanced humans that could become a substitute for Char! The one who planned that is truly evil…
Did you not create it with that intention, but it just ended up that way?
>>99I never thought that wanting a speaker would actually come with something inside it.
>>99Let’s make a doll that looks like Char and control it behind the scenes! But then, unintentionally, something strange got attached to it.
>>99It was a coincidence that it was filled.
Let’s make a doll that can originally be used as a flag! That’s about the extent of the intention.
Isn’t this guy choosing to harbor Char’s despair and grudge, and act on those?
To be honest, I think Frontal is closer to the image of Char that everyone desires than the raw version of Char from Char’s Counterattack.
>>104No one is looking for someone who will break the boundaries of the world.
>>110Drop Axis and kill the foolish people of Earth!
Isn’t an intelligent Char who says something like “Let’s separate Earth and space from now on” more appealing than the usual Char?
>>135The purpose of Frontal is to break down the boundary between this world and the afterlife with the Psycho Shard; the Side Co-Prosperity Sphere itself doesn’t matter at all.
>>138Frontal doesn’t really have such an active will, does he?
I’m just doing the work I’m told to do.
>>145If you read the final volume and the Phoenix Hunt, you’ll understand that this guy tried to use the Haru Unit with malice.
>>149That’s the novel version, and it has nothing to do with the anime…
In the first place, that’s a completely different entity.
>>138I feel like the character in the original work, where Neon doesn’t appear and only in the anime, was a bit different.
I read it quite a while ago, so I don’t remember.
>>104In fact, that’s exactly the kind of existence that being completely naked entails.
>>104After all, Frontal is that kind of character, right?
It’s fine to deny this, but it doesn’t change the fact that the Universal Century doesn’t get any better because of it, which is just hard to put into words.
>>105Still!!!!
>>111Then you should become a member of the Earth Federation instead of retiring, Banaji-kun.
>>123That’s the job of the secretary to the congressman.
To begin with, this guy hates humans…
There’s no helping it; Char’s spirit has told me to give Frontal salvation.
The original work tells the story from the perspectives of various characters, but
I really can’t understand their inner thoughts because there was no perspective from them.
If it were Char, I think he would act a bit more on youthful energy and impulse.
Is Angelo still alive in the anime?
For all I know, Monahan doesn’t even know he entered Frontal…
If it were Char, he would act more on the vibe of the moment!
I don’t dislike it and I like it, but I don’t understand the meaning of Amuro & Char from Super Robot Wars vs. Frontar.
It feels like having Char played by a mass of resentment like in Clueze.
The side co-prosperity sphere is Monahan’s idea, not Frontal’s.
>>124As Banaji said, you’re talking about it like it’s someone else’s problem, and you probably don’t care about it anyway.
If super-sensible humans are born, let’s give them the right to participate in politics preferentially.
If you write something like that down, it will definitely become a spark for war…!
>>126Intellectuals tend to swing from one extreme to another.
>>126It seems that they are already having disputes behind the scenes regarding the additional provisions of the Laplace Charter, so this is no good!
On top of that, it tastes like a flash of light, so it’s over.
For better or worse, everyone’s ideal of Char is Full Frontal, right?
By the way, it seems that even Frontal doesn’t care whether Monahan, who advocates for the side co-prosperity sphere, has leadership or not, and doesn’t think it will be successful.
“You should know the term ‘residual thoughts’.”
Amid the incessant sound of machines, Frontal’s voice reaches me.
Banargi gritted his teeth and sprayed the wound, experiencing the grotesque sensation of the gushing blood instantly coagulating.
“The Psycho Frame has the property of responding to human will, but at the same time, it also absorbs human will. The Psycho Frame, which unleashed enough power to move stars, completely absorbed the will of the human at its core as a price.”
Despite being seriously injured as well, there is not the slightest disturbance in that voice.
Hearing a voice that sounds both close and distant, Banaj applied repair tape to the tear in his suit.
Even if it becomes a vacuum, the airtightness will be maintained.
The only thing to do with pain is to endure it.
“If that person’s consciousness had lost the place to return to and was wandering in the universe, it wouldn’t be strange for it to take residence in a coincidentally appeared likeness. As you said, humans are creatures that find themselves in others.”
Mobile Suit Gundam UC⑩ Beyond the Rainbow (Part 2)
First edition published on August 26, 2009.

Everyone’s desired Char! And on top of that, Char will also be the speaker for us (the Zeon-style club), giving it more persuasive power!
So it’s a terrible story that Char himself is not really needed.
>>132I’m sure Char will manage to do something about it, so let’s recreate it! That would be an approach from the Gaia Gear side.
“Isn’t your thinking a bit shallow?” Banaji confronted me.
“It’s a pretty desperate way to escape by saying ‘the vessel only represents the general consensus of the masses.'”
>>136Even so, those with strong ideologies from the Universal Century are pretty useless, so wouldn’t it be more appreciated to have someone who does things that make the masses happy?
>>136It’s a part that is extremely irrelevant, so it’s very rough.
>>136Well, I think it’s an excuse allowed for a created enhanced human.
In the original work, Frontal ends up shooting the mechanic grandfather who survived until the end in the OVA, right?
The idea of a side co-prosperity sphere is treated as someone else’s problem when it’s a successful work like Char’s return and dismissed as a trivial proposition when it’s a failure.
>>139In the end, the fight doesn’t end.
The world where the side co-prosperity sphere is realized is the V Gundam, and thinking about it later, G Gundam, makes me feel that the Gundam universe has no salvation.
>>141V Gundam is set in a universe that has become a warring states period, but the Federation is still at the top, so it is completely different from the world of the Side Co-Prosperity Sphere.
>>144It’s terrifying to think that even in that era, if the Federation got serious, they could easily crush Zanskar…
It’s only because I’ve tied myself down to not being able to give it my all that there’s a chance of winning.
>>157A demotivated army that still uses a Javelin from 30 years ago?!
I thought about it, but even a very small scale Jeanne d’Arc squad was able to carry out some resistance activities.
>>168That’s because when the Federation seriously shifts to a wartime system, they end up mass-producing more high-performance units than the enemy’s main force…
The V Gundam production system and even the V2 are just a mere spillover of that spillover, you know.
>>144Wasn’t the Federation during the V Gundam era so weakened that they had already moved their Congress to the Moon and ignored whatever Zanscare did?
>>141Even though they eat people, humanity seems to be going strong…
What is he thinking saying stuff like the speech about Laplace’s box…?
Since it started with a policy of abandonment, is that why they said such things to instill a little hope?
>>142That’s true? The first prime minister was a romanticist and somewhat of a virtuous person, so the assassination resulted in the outbreak of the One Year War, which combined with that led to a major disaster caused by Laplace Kiyoshi.
Isn’t it more like something that embodies a common understanding of Char rather than Char himself having taken up residence?
>>143It wasn’t about Char himself, but rather Char’s despair or something like that.
The Zion’s plan to dry up the Federation by taking over the colonies is basically being realized with the Zieg Ax.
Who would be stronger if Frontar and Char fought?
>>152It seems that Frontal is probably stronger because he has been seriously powered up.
The image suggests that Char might easily win.
>>164Since it’s a copy, it might have quirks and seem easier to read than the original.
>>178It’s just plastic surgery on the face, so it’s neither a copy nor a clone.
>>152When just comparing specs, the Frontal is superior, but somehow Char manages to win…
When Banaji said I was a cowardly puppet wearing the skin of a Char who can’t do anything by myself, I was honestly furious.
What is the interface of the world?
>>155It’s like a hole blocking this world and higher dimensions.
A new type is just a fleeting thing that has no power to change the big picture, only found in youth… in other words, it’s a youthful folly!
That’s good, isn’t it?
>>159Looking back, I can’t deny that the powerful NT is mostly driven by youthful indiscretion…
It’s quite a reckless adaptation that compresses over 10 volumes of text into just 7 episodes of OVA, which means many parts were left out. I really want people to read the original work, especially about Ridi and Frontar.
>>166Personally, I hope people check out the original work because Ronin has changed so much that they are almost a different person.
>>166Riddy becomes a terrible person just because it’s sad to force Banaji to dirty his hands continuously!
I don’t really understand, but why do the protagonists who have denied the enemy’s ideology leave everything to others after defeating the final boss?
>>169I don’t have the sense to be a politician…
That’s how it is with Amuro.
>>169There’s no way I can accept a mantra that sacrifices myself for the sake of survival.
After the war is over, for the time being.
>>169Don’t say unreasonable things to a teenage boy.
>>169The reason Banaj is arguing isn’t because Frontal seems to be indifferent about the Side Co-Prosperity Sphere; that’s not the main point.
>>169One person can’t change everything in the world, and if they do, it will be through a dangerous means.
There’s no doubt they’re excellent, but anyone who knows Char would likely click their tongue at the fact that it’s completely naked.
Frontal’s physical strength should be higher than Char’s since he has been physically enhanced.
I have the impression that top-class Newtypes possess a strength that is unrelated to such matters.
>>171Regardless of whether Char is top class or not, it seems that in a situation with a completely naked opponent, Char would ultimately win.
>>187Make sure to watch the anime properly before joining the conversation, you fake fan.
>>194Isn’t there a scene in the anime where Frontale is quite strong?
The Neo Zeong feels like an insane machine.
>>205You’re definitely stronger than Char, who is confirmed to be weak in Zeke Axes.
It’s surprisingly stable for an enhanced human.
Couldn’t they have used that stable enhanced human more effectively?
It was just a sentence that wouldn’t have mattered if it had never existed when the charter was lost.
>>177If a new type had never been born!!!!
>>177Due to the popularity of geonism, which was particularly reinforced by being protected as Laplace’s box, things have become troublesome…
>>191The Laplace box is the key to this story, but to be honest, I thought it was irrelevant.
>>201If used effectively as kindling, it can become a spark that allows the One Year War to continue indefinitely, but essentially it’s something that doesn’t matter.
UC can keep going because the Londo Bell team led by Bright is still around.
People who hate Unicorn just from watching the OVA generally don’t read the original work, so they keep criticizing it based only on their impression of the anime…
(Very strong)
