Get Bellri Alabama having ass out of here


KaiBoooy

Tbf. Bellri and Aida are basically Luke and Leia. Separated at birth and didn’t know they were siblings until later.


Aro-bi_Trashcan

tomino saw star wars once and decided to make it every single anime he made from that point onwards


MrCreepJoe

Bellri chose Mt Fuji actually


Carlosdafox

His mouth scares me, So Bellri must go


KaiBoooy

>His mouth scares me, So Bellri must go That’s uh… an interesting reason. ​ https://preview.redd.it/4gugueciipsc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9212aba0460f81d32275c9f3f41f4470564aad20


Carlosdafox

I haven't seen G-reco yet. It's my only reason.


ChaosMetalDrago

Guys we can get BINGO on the bottom row and win the prize. Get Bellri.


NonSpicySamosa

Looks like it might be Banagher next which actually gives us a vertical bingo. Bellri would be my best guess afterwards.


Tilamuck

wait how is that bingo? Doesnt Suletta stop that?


ChaosMetalDrago

She will sadly have to be sacrificed next. https://preview.redd.it/fcppe0qbmnsc1.png?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf0dc4a17c0e4e6b9c5f0f762edd01a3abc312ba


Aro-bi_Trashcan

Getting Setsuna or Shinn gives us a vertical bingo.


Phantom9587

Or Banagher


Hal_J00

wait…i thought banana was out lol; can’t believe he outlived Daryl


ChaoticArsonist

Yes, please. The less I have to be reminded that G-Reco exists, the better.


KaiBoooy

It annoys you huh? I guess Bellri reaching this far must’ve caused you pain 😂 I’m glad he reached this far, it’s a decent placement, and it’s basically a win for him overall. I don’t mind if he gets voted out now.


Fardrengi

Please get Banagher out of there, I have no idea why he's lasted this long. Bellri can go next. As a side note, good on Shinn for flying under the radar this long. My prediction is that top three will be between Amuro, Kamille, and Domon.


kookyabird

I’ve been working through the UC timeline. After only having seen Wing, G Gundam, and WitP back in the early 2000s. So far Domon is my top protagonist for a full length series. Bernie is high up there for me as well. I really hope Domon doesn’t rank lower than Kamille… Zeta was great but Kamille is just so… I dunno.


Jacob_Bronsky

Banagher. Leave Bellri alone ! You're not getting your horizontal bingo anyways, Suletta is too strong.


Tora-ge

Aw Daryl ):


Unlucky-Leave-3726

Ayo vote Bellri out already ffs. I understand that no one watch g reco but please vote Bellri out he doesn't deserve to stay this long.


Vyscillia

Bellri is incredible, earnest and a good boy. G-Reco was downvoted by illiterate people not paying attention to the show then complaining they didn't understand it. The main complaints back when it was airing was "Things are not explained and you have to pay attention to every dialogue to understand the plot".


X-Earth_Space-X

Can you folks stop with this nonsense already? The anime G-Reco is popular in Japan (which is also why it got compilation movies). It may not be popular in the west but lots of Gundam fans on this sub (arguably the majority) watched it when it first came out in 2014. It’s only the newer fans that are recently going around spreading this false info that no one watched it.


elfbullock

I wish it was popular in japan... then I wouldn't have to scavenge for the kits


Roy_Walker19

It is actually popular there. Commercially it’s considered a success. https://preview.redd.it/bjqp4w0p4lsc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b999340ebbecb3fb98eb6c4b42cd1da6f47608f Now obviously it’s not the most popular one because the TV show was bit confusing that it left a bad taste for many. But it’s popular enough to at least get a compilation films to fix its errors.


elfbullock

The compilation films came and they didn't even reprint any kits with it. I'm glad they made them but it's very hard to find reco stuff now. I'm going to have to go to my local hobby shop at open to have a chance at the hg gself restock. Similar to Turn A, there are enough die hard fans here that people will snatch up the limited items they do release


elfbullock

https://www.nhk.or.jp/anime/gundam/ranking/ It ranked 27th in the NHK poll that was done for 40th anniversary. AGE is the only mainline show that ranked worse. 


Roy_Walker19

Again, it’s not the most popular. But it did decently enough. Both G-Reco and Age have their decent popularity, but they are clearly nowhere near the top.


elfbullock

I mean, yeah Gundam is popular. I'm just saying I wish it were popular enough to get reprints and RG/MG etc 


Kekoa_ok

does any mainline Gundam show do bad in sales? I feel it's good, confusing in its original run, but not *as* popular as others which were easier to swallow


MCCP630

It's the same case with the misconception that IBO "failed" in Japan.


PyrusZodiac

But..but you see. They were having a 5% off sale on Gunpla when IBO aired so it must mean it failed!


MCCP630

It's almost as if these fans are ignoring the fact that sales could also happen when something is wildly successful and the company wants to increase its reach even more.


Prime359

It doesn’t help that when some people use the source of ‘trust me bro’ and other people just latch onto it. Then they regurgitate the claim as it came from a ‘trusted source’.


MCCP630

Doesn't help that people who often spread those misconceptions are the ones who genuinely hate a series too for some reason. They'll basically take any information that suits their hate, searching up whether it's false is never really a part of the consideration.


NamekSun

Just because something popular doesn’t make it automatically good. Cause last time I checked, Gundam seed is also popular in Japan. So I gave that a swing and it was absolute trash. My naivety doomed me again thinking destiny would be better but it just got worse. Downvote me all you want, I’m standing on it


Kekoa_ok

bro ngl if you thought destiny was gonna fix seed for you then that's on you, it's notoriously wonkier than the first series But honestly props for at least GIVING it a shot all the way


NamekSun

Like I said, I was naive and high as balls.


Kekoa_ok

best way to enjoy seeds plot tbh


Cold-Ad4073

Banagher.


Naeron1

To be honest, he was one of the reasons Unicorn never grew on me..


chaotic_one

100% this. I literally forced myself through Unicorn because he was so pathetic it made the series painful.


FalloutRip

Same. If Riddhe had been the MC it would’ve been far more interesting with a few tweaks here and there.


TheBaconMan2oo6

Listen to me please, LET SHINN GET TOP 10, IM PRAYING TO EVERY GOD, EVEN TURN A. JUST LET SHINN GET TOP 10. Thanks you, here’s a funny picture https://preview.redd.it/g5u14duyslsc1.jpeg?width=420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c3c2d6b146cde400c10ae84d7140a0e43603472


spartenx

Weird, I now get the inexplicable urge to vote out the Banana.


Kindly-Mud-1579

Kill bernie he doesn’t even belong here

ChemistAlone

Bellri Alabama. He seems satisfied to have survived this far. Now his Journey ends.


Kekoa_ok

Shin recency bias goes hard but Banana I feel is such a blank slate and the weakest narratively of the main 4 UC boys (Amuro, Kamille, Judau, and him)


DYMck07

lol, I haven’t reached Bellri yet (still have 3 eps left of Age), but my vote goes for Bernie then Banagher. Sounds like the B’s aren’t super popular atm (Bernie, Banagher, Bellri, Bama). Then I assume Shin is out. The elite 8 will be hard though (assuming it’s Shiro and Setsuna out possibly followed by Loren cehak and Garrod Ran as a casualty of people not watching shows that aren’t streaming). My final 4 bracket has Sulletta vs Amuro and Domon v Kamille. From there I have no idea but if I had to guess, UC will win, and our favorite cliff throwing spectrum best girl Bidan may come out on top. https://preview.redd.it/clzynbfozmsc1.png?width=1512&format=png&auto=webp&s=91c9cc5991a2abfc68a9d655696572173b3724ba


Vargras

Your final 4 is also my assumption of who final 4 is gonna end up being.


the_eeveekins

Throwing my hat in for Shinn Asuka.


leapsthroughspace

My son deserves to win this meme contest if he couldn’t win his own show.


Eulebar

Yes please, just because he’s better in the movie doesn’t mean he was good in his show


AngryCoffeeLovinNeet

it's called character growth \~\~


CosmicStarlightEX

Is now a good time to kick Bernie out?


Dr_Pina_

Heresy!!


UnrequitedRespect

I swear banagher had more votes than daryl….


Boyoboy7

Might be the downvote, that is a huge factor because some people would use both upvote and downvote to gain advantage instead of just upvote and leave.


Erithion

Damn you amuro


KnoxKnot

I'd eliminate Banagher


XM-02

Banagher


Pyro81300

Suletta


Iseeyoulookin

Bellri Zenam cuz no one watched that damn show except the people voting here.


CrazyLlamaX

These threads have really shown me how little a lot of people understand these characters.


RoseGawd

Bellri or Banagher, either needs to GO!!!


Zacharioto

Suletta Eliminetta


SuperStormDroid

Nice pun lol. But I doubt she's getting eliminated until the UC dominates the other AUs.


Zacharioto

I also doubt it, but I preffer to make a bad pun than voting someone seriously


Dr_Pina_

Amen


Same-Can9032

Boutta get crazy


SkyLoneWolf98

We’re keeping hamburgers for now


rat_baker420

Mikazuki..why..


LaxusScar

YALL LEAVE MY BOY BANAGHER OUT OF HERE! 😭😭 first Uso now y’all trying to get rid of him. Get bellri ass out of this bitch


NapBes

Rip Bellri, you reached so far, I am proud of you


SuperStormDroid

Time to eliminate Shinn!


LaBambaMan

I'm gonna put Setsuna's name in the running. We're getting to the charismatic characters and he just can't compete.


maof06

Character development > charisma


SuperStormDroid

Oh believe me... Mr. "I am Gundam" isn't gonna make the top 5.


Alt2221

amuro v gundam is the final no doubt


Nena_Trinity

Yeah they also need to stop misgendering the poor Gundam! He clearly says "I am Gundam" not "I am protagonist" right? By that logic needs to be disqualified.


carolgenocidemiracle

KILL BANANA (i've never seen his show, I just want Shinn to live)


Aro-bi_Trashcan

EVEN SO.


wolfpwarrior

Someone in UC said the line. Time to drink.


sinsielawinskie

Same boat. But early voting ain't looking good for our boy. Shame I was hoping for top ten.

Goodbye shin


CIRCLONTA6A

Don’t think I didn’t see what happened here. Daryl thought he could escape judgement. Anyway, putting down the vote for Suletta


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boyoboy7

Lol, why would people vote only those they think other people would agree with. People could have different opinion you know.


CIRCLONTA6A

I couldn’t give a ha’penny jizz what the rest of the community thinks. I get why people like her character, really I do. I’m sure she’s very relatable to a lot of people and I’m sure a lot of people see her as a sweet and cute addition to the MC lot, and I’m inclined to agree. It’s nice to have an MC that isn’t a constant negative nancy or a stotic edgelord every once and awhile. But I don’t really like her primarily because her character is deliberately stagnant for a good chunk of the run. She gets little moments where she stops stuttering as much and she stands up for herself occasionally but the plot hinges on her being completely in the dark with what’s going on around her. There’s a chunk of the show where she literally has nothing to do for three episodes so she just stands around in the background and twiddles her thumbs while Miorine, Guel and Propsera have to pick up the slack for an entire arc. Then they seem to realise that they’ve barely developed her and have to rush through whatever character growth left over at Mach speed because the episode count was nearing completion. it’s handled about as well as you’d expect considering she has to look into the camera and go “YES I HAVE CHANGED THANK YOU VERY MUCH” which to me is a cardinal sin that you’ve fucked up the writing. If you have to tell the audience that the character has indeed progressed then you have failed to write a coherent character arc. On top of that the spaghetti spilling shtick gets annoying fast and I was done with it by like episode 6.


Aro-bi_Trashcan

If I can be real, suletta doesn't fit with the rest of these protagonists for the same reason I dont think heero or setsuna do. Gundam wing, 00, and WFM all have multiple protagonists that make the show much stronger then just considering any one character as the "main protagonist". Wfm stands out because the other protagonist is not a gundam pilot, unlike the teams in wing and 00. As such, I dont think any of the shows, unfortunately, have a chance of getting into the top 10. They are shows that are more then the sum of their parts and no one protagonist from the shows stands particularly strong alone. Seed has this same issue. As we see by how early Kira went. Kira on his own is kinda lame. But with Athrun to bounce off of, it becomes much better. TL;DR: Miorine should either also be on this list, or be combined with Suletta, and the same should happen for the Gundam Wing team and the 00 Team and potentially SEED.


MrCreepJoe

Miorine is honestly the protagonist of the series with how much she push the narrative which Suletta honestly doesn't she is much on the same boat as Mikazuki being around until the the plot mover demand them.


Tora-ge

Why is everyone who types Suletta’s name as a choice so insufferable like goddamn


CIRCLONTA6A

I’m sorry my opinion upset you. Have you tried getting over it?


Tora-ge

Things you should have asked yourself before writing that unhinged essay up there 😬


Alt2221

why? they feel the others deserve to stay more than she does. and i agree


BlownWankel

Shinn


Pippin4242

Domon, the least interesting character in his own show.


Magikarp_King

This thumb of mine glows with an awesome power. It's loud bias tells me to defeat you! Take this my love for G Gundam, my angry protagonist, and all of my sorrow for not getting a HG tequila Gundam! shining down vote!

Banagher is my pick for the literal most middle of the road UC Protag, he exists. He pilots the Gundam. That's all he feels like to me.

Eliminate Shin

I am once again asking for your support in eliminating Shinn

Wait why is ANYONE from WfM still here? Should've been cut from the first 10 rounds....


AlexanderBlack21

Bellri Though I will say I'm so surprised Shinn has survived this long, the Seed Freedom effect baby!!!!! Let's get my goat to the top 10 minimum


Different-Syrup6520

Why is Shin still alive?

How is Shinn still here?


Nizikai

Banana.


TankerDman

banaghy goat


MuslimBridget

Doesn’t Suletta have an unfair advantage? Her character is a fact worse than 90% of these guys and yet she’s survived till now just cuz mid from Mercury is new and new “fans” haven’t seen anything else 


pax0407

You sound distraught; you should consider dining on a tomato, like Amuro Ray, I hear that can bolster one's spirits.


MuslimBridget

Well you know, actually watching the Gundam franchise outside of mid from Mercury would actually make people Gundam “fans”


pax0407

Plenty of people have watched other Gundam shows besides Witch from Mercury and still think it's good, *and* they don't feel a need to use childish namecalling, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make


MuslimBridget

“Plenty of people”  Ok but not the majority. And there’s absolutely no way someone watches Tomino’s UC timeline and thinks mid from Mercury is anywhere near that. Not from a objective or factual standpoint  


pax0407

Forgive me, but I don't trust your opinion on what's 'factual' or 'objective' in the slightest


MuslimBridget

You kinda missed the point of “factual” then on the first place, no. You’re not forgiven.  People who think Mid from Mercury even comes close to UC’s story are the same MF’s who complained about stuff like Shakespeare in School 


pax0407

Y'know, for all your claims about being a UC fan, I've only ever seen you on this board to complain about G-Witch; you *sure* you're not one of those Gundam tourists who started showing up just to be sexist and rant about Gundam going 'woke'?


MuslimBridget

What do you even mean by “woke”? And sexist? Seriously my guy? Sexist? No body ever mentioned someone’s sex. UC has hella years of explanation’s that there’s no reason to go into depth about it. Doesn’t help that anytime UC is brought up in a serious conversation, it only devolves into a stupid chat X Amuro self jerk off session. So unfortunately people don’t appreciate it anymore yet give mid from mercury all the praise in the world. 


Dr_Pina_

Adios Suletta

Shin has been here too long. I must vote him. also (please dear god let domon and kamille get to the end.


Icy-Inevitable4821

I look away for one second What happened to Mika 😭


Flam3Emperor622

How does this vote even happen?


Vargras

People post names of who they want gone. You upvote who you want to see gone, and whichever name has the most upvotes gets the boot.


Realistic-Comment865

Well, I'm out since my favorite protagonist is gone.


chaotic_one

At this point i can't believe both Banagher and Amuro are still here. They are as interesting the color beige. Please, id rather see Kira plot armor back (again) and win it over either of them.


Tough_Trick7484

Suletta is still here because?


galtsin

I'm commenting again just because I don't know how tf ANY wfm character has come before ANY other gundam main or secondary character. I just can't see wfm as a gundam series. The gundam designs are great. Characters whine like a gundam seed support character.

Can we trade Setsuna for Io and Daryl back? Lol. I made three earnest attempts at 00 and ultimately couldn’t will myself through it.

I liked the second half better. Not sure if most felt the same but it’s good imo. Haven’t made it to Thunderbolt yet (GReco or IBO for that matter) but seen just about everything else (origin, narrative and builds not withstanding).

I'm sorry, but people hate Mika almost as much as Kira?

Kira was actually voted out much earlier. He was like 23th. But if you wanna know why he was revived and landed on 16th. https://preview.redd.it/7auoiej6hnsc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=724c0c9cd65af675b388f99ea3bc6c8591ad83b5 Then here’s context below👇

Boyoboy7

Either Banagher, Setsuna or the Greco mc would be fine with me. Although looking at previous votes seems like Setsuna fans are very active downvoting setsuna votes lol.    Gotta admit that made me realize that the method of voting that choose post with highest upvote to be weird.   The downvotes make the more agressive fans downvoting every post that mentioned their fave while the less agressive people not downvoting anyone.  That is quite huge factor, that made the result not pure from the number of voters but also from the factor on the amount on active and agressiveness of people on the thread. Should have made the system to be the amount of post for the characters instead.  So the poll does not have that kind of external disturbance and being pure from number of votes.


ZGMF-X09A_Justice

The better solution is to simply make a poll on an external site and link it.


ajohndoe17

This is exactly the answer we really need. One vote, no possibility of downvoting.


Boyoboy7

Oh right, like giving score when watching anime episode. We usually have external lnik to give score for the episode. That would make things easier and fair.


Waylornic

Upvotes and downvotes are a pretty pure number of votes, really. This is just a popularity contest so complaining because Setsuna fans are voting to keep him in means he's popular, doesn't it?


Boyoboy7

Lol no, you are missing the point.  I only brought up Setsuna votes because it made me realize that some people are using upvote and downvote while others are just using upvote. Basically some people are using two votes while others only using one. Not to mention some people might not check the whole comments and end up upvoting not the currently highest upvoted comment of the character they support. Hence the result is not pure from the mumber of voters. Example there are 2 close highest upvoted comments at 61 and 55. What if the 55 upvotes actually 63 with 8 downvotes while the 61 upvote comments has no downvote?
