Oh my god, it's even written in the dialog: "[Char] is sick. He is into youg girls." Of course I know it is wrong but it felt weird to hear Gyunei, I mean Glarv, claim that. I should check if this was clearly said in Char's Counterattack too. Interesting to see that even a soldier like him suspects Char to have triggered a conflict for his personal grudge toward Amuro.

5/5


@jonnjonzz Thanks for the information. (I've rewatched CCA since but didn't hear it.^^")


@St0rmblade Any info you might have gathered accidentally during your internet researches?

I believe Glarv implied that Char was a pedophile in the anime too, but it was more blatant here. Even though Char later reprimands him for this and denies it, I still find the depiction of naked Quess with him in the cockpit disturbing. He didn’t tell her to take off her clothes and jump in with him, but it doesn’t help his image as a lolicon. There was another scene where a different pilot called him a lolicon as well. Is it just accepted fact by this author that Char is that way or is at least regarded as such by most Zeon?

I think it's sort of present in this manga

but I don't remember enough from it to really say. The age gap between Haman and Char is real here though, I don't recall what Char's actions and feelings toward young Haman were

Char wasn’t that bad in CDA. Been some years since I read it too. But it seemed like Haman wanted him, while he was having sex with Natalie, causing Haman to become jealous and evil.

I can concur with @jonnjonzz , in CDA the relationship with Haman is very one-sided. (The most problematic aspect with Haman is just how the author depicts her while she is underage >.>)

This is a very good question, and it makes me wonder how much of the dialogue, if any, was changed from the Beltorchika's Children novel by Tomino himself. I think it is entirely possible that Neo Zeon soldiers regarding Char as a pedophile comes directly from Tomino.

With that said, I feel like all of Char's interactions with Quess were motivated by keeping her as a combat asset during the conflict. Does that excuse how he interacts with Quess? Probably not. Does that explain how Neo Zeon soldiers perceive him? Almost certainly not.
