Lacus Al-Gaib and the Kira Haderach

I mean, both films are about the product of advanced genetic engineering reshaping society through his superhuman powers.

...And now I'm thinking of a crossover where Char is proclaimed Lisan al Gaib. Somehow, this probably works out even worse for everyone.

Char in Dune would be a hell of a thing for a lot of reasons the least of which would be him proclaimed a savior cause of his BS newtype powers

I mean, Char gets a position of authority, hates it, everything gets worse is the basic Char arc. Him accidentally fulfilling messianic prophecies is pretty much guaranteed as step zero in whatever problems come later.

Dune 100% would take his "Lalah could of been a mother to me" issues and ramp them up to a 1000

Computer, describe the term "sequel", please.

Oh this so called review of most of the gundam anime by trashfire ANN, As with anything from ANN, I write them off as talentless hacks and watch what I wanna watch regardless what garbage they spew out.

Tournament time!

Sorry to the Turn A fans out there, but Dianna Soreil lost to Duo Maxwell!
The glasses didn’t cut the mustard, Harry Ord loses to Loran Cehack!

Now for today’s matchups!
Will Neo Zeon reign supreme with Haman Karn in control? Or will Heero Yuy accept the mission?

You need to vote for the Char clone with an affinity for high speed transforming mobile suits and ridiculous swords.

Also silly obvious disguise names that fool nobody and whose girlfriend is cooler than they are.

Zechs is cool when Dekim says “I thought you were dead” and he replies “I was.” I also like that he’s voiced by DIO.

Vote for the one with the really cool voice actor who was in Evangelion and voiced the protagonist of a Persona game and the villain in a Mega Man Legends and Final Fantasy games

Actually, vote for the one who was in Octopath Traveller 2. Although I guess if you need a tie breaker you could go for the one who voices a major antagonist in a Jojo series.

It's funny because there's a reason why that particular shot of him from the movie gets used a lot in promo stuff. Absolute audience pop moment.

I think him and Treize were both on the same page about this and committed to 'playing their roles' in this war. White Fang vs. OZ was meant to be this grand orchestration, with Libra's narrowly averted planetfall meant to scare humanity straight.

edit: For this to work, Quinze, Romefellar, Relena, Howard, and pretty much everyone not Zechs or Treize has to be kept in the dark. Also it doesn't work because lol Endless Waltz happens, and sources close to Goons suggest there's something called Frozen Teardrop which also includes more fighting so lmao even.

Yes but they're Mars Suits, not Mobile Suits, in Frozen Teardrop.

Edit: They also said no war in the Earth Sphere. The war in FT takes place on Mars, so, again, Loophole.

Some of these outcomes have been weird enough (not the winner, but the pattern) that I'm starting to suspect something's up. The number one seed and last year's winner both being eliminated round 1 is... Unusual.

i'm surprised any wing character would have a notable presence in popularity polls, as we have seen in this very thread the broader fandom isn't particularly kind to it and hasn't been for a long rear end time
