Oh sure, pick the guy who fires on civilians, betrays his friends, has romantic relationships with underage girls, and dropped an asteroid on the Earth (almost two). And he got the man he stole his name from killed and later named himself after the female anatomy (oh yeah... "Bajeena"... sure).

Ladies love all the red, I guess. LIKE THE BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.

You just don't understand his appeal because your soul is bound down by gravity.....

People just love red and blonde.

But that guy caused a lot of crap for others, especially Amuro. He may dislike Zeon but he is bred Zeon.

Or maybe they just love bad boys. I'll never understand why. Confused

It's between boring Amuro and the god damned Red Comet Char, Char wins based on charisma alone.

Heeey, that Nu/Hi-nu Gundam is all sorts of badass.

There are 3 possible explanations:

1. It's a stupid online poll to begin with, they answered based on apperance or on a whim
2. They truly do not care about personalities or plot development (this actually explains at least 35% of every anime series's existence), only about the art.
3. Humans can be vapid and they truly prefer bad boys.

Shouldn't this be obvious? Since when were girls attracted to Amuro? Char is an awesome handsome ladies man. I'm just surprised it was close apparently.

It's just because he's 3 times cooler to make up for all of that.

Not sure why you'd go for Char, when he'll just use you as a human shield in his next battle. Rolling Eyes

I'd argue a large part of it is his voice. Shuuichi Ikeda and Michael Kopsa voicing him always gives me goosebumps.

Besides, I always found Amuro to be a whining little goody two-shoes.

Char is on Darth Vader's level. Literally.

Kids here love Vader, dress up as him, and buy a bunch of his toys. Yet he kills millions, helped commit genocide, and does a bunch of other crazy stuff. Shocked

Kamille should have been an option in this poll. Because Kamillie is awesome and its a man's name.

Amuro Ray:

- Genius technician, created sentient robot ball
- In his first outing in a mobile suit, a prototype, he destroyed two enemy units
- Constantly bested the Zeon's ace pilot Char Aznable, even beat Ramba Ral, beat Dozle Zabi
- Saved Federation troops from a hydrogen bomb by disarming it
- Put up with Beltorchika
- Designed the Nu Gundam
- Stopped Axis from falling onto Earth
- Has very pretty eyes, according to Lalah Sune

I second that. Kamille always entertains.
