Anime has teach us that adolescent are always the best giant robot fender , but do they need to be mad ? Because it sure seems like a spate of insane people manage to get in the cockpits of Gundam , EVA Units , and the like . Here are a twelve maniacs who should n’t be trusted with scissors , permit alone giant golem .
1 ) Shinji Ikari , Evangelion
Why not begin with the obvious ? His female parent all in , abandoned by his dad , much never shown affection — Shinji was a mess well before his don commanded him to fly EVA Unit-01 and save the last remnant of humanity from the divine powers judge to wipe it out . Frankly , sobbing hysterically and mumble “ I must n’t melt off ” while giant Angels murder remaining civilians is plausibly the effective response you could have a bun in the oven Shinji to have . monitor : In End of Evangelion , Shinji jerks off over Asuka ’s comatose eubstance ; while this technically has nothing to do with his jumbo pilotage skills , I do think it ’s a pretty clear sign he should probably be disqualify from the Evangelion programme .
2 ) Duo Maxwell , Gundam Wing
This fan - favorite Gundam series is probably best roll in the hay for all five of its chief hero being fierce lunatics . Let ’s start with Duo , the most well - adjusted Gundam pilot on the show . He ’s upbeat and favorable in a way his four compatriots are not . He ’s caring and even has a sense of humor . And yet once in conflict , he starts scream that he is literally the “ God of Death . ” That is dead not someone you want to give a jumbo robot handle a gargantuan electro - scythe to .
3 ) Stella Louissier , Gundam Seed Destiny
At the serious of times , the 16 - yr - old Stella has the mind of , say , a happy , not peculiarly savvy four - twelvemonth - old child . I say this is the serious of times because this is when she is n’t kill citizenry indiscriminately . See , the reasonableness Stella is the pilot of the Destroy Gundam is because she turn into an incredible combatant when she feels she ’s in peril of dying . This is more insane than you clear ; because Stella is n’t mature enough to recognize danger on her own , her teammates / fellow soldier have to explain to her she ’s in risk of break . And then Stella is so petrified of death — and boy , that ’s something you require in your elite soldiers — that if she imagine she ’s in too much risk , she set out hallucinating and killing friends and foes likewise .
4 ) Gai Daigoji , Nadesico
Here ’s the first sign that Gai probably should n’t be operating an Aestavais robot — Gai is n’t his existent name . It ’s actually Jiro Yamada . Gai is the name of a character reference on the ( fancied ) giant robot anime Gekiganger , which “ Gai ” is completely obsess with , to the compass point that he may well think it ’s real . At any pace , Gai certain acts like it ’s real , pretending he ’s starring in Gekiganger when engaging in real fights — well past the decimal point of peril his fellow pilots .
5 ) Heero Yuy , Gundam Wing
The protagonist of Gundam Wing may be really be considered a near soldier : he ’s overbold , ruthless , and willing to give himself if necessary to complete his mission . Unfortunately , he ’s also a complete psychopath , maniacally laughing to himself as he massacre his enemy , killing paramedic who endeavor to help him then , after being call for to a natal day party for the most democratic young woman in school , whispering gently in her pinna , “ I ’ll defeat you . ” And this was literally just in the first episode .
6 ) Asuka Sohryu Langley , Evangelion
Asuka is n’t as evidently broken as Shinji is , at least not at first . She ’s impudent , capable , perhaps too strong-growing and bastardly - spirited , but supremely up to next to Shinji . However , her psyche is just as fragile , thanks to seeing her mother ’s self-destruction as a kid . Now determined to shew her lifetime has deserving , she completely go down to piece at anything less than total winner . While she does n’t scream like Shinji , she does draw away and hide in a tub in the country for a while , so let ’s not pretend she ’s really any more together than her fellow EVA pilot .
7 ) Four Murasame , Zeta Gundam
Four Murasame pilots the Psycho Gundam . This is not a concurrence . She ’s an artificially enhanced “ Cyber Newtype , ” which required a outstanding deal of memory erasing , aesculapian experiments , and brain damage . Now she has blinding cephalalgia , fits of vestal insanity and a random desire to drink down everyone she see . Admittedly , if you ’ve created a giant golem called the Psycho Gundam , Four is presumptively on the button the type of person you ’d want piloting it , but I think we can state quite empirically that she probably should n’t be in mission of any bipedal weapons of mass destructions .
- Quatre Raberba Winner , Gundam Wing
When Gundam Wing get down , Quatre is the only main character who seems completely kind , polite , unaggressive and completely well - adjust . So why is he on this list ? Because unlike Duo , who merely calls himself the God of Death , when Quatre snapped he snapped severely — after watch his family give way , he decide the best way to attain peace in outer blank space is to kill every bread and butter being in it . He does a shockingly honorable job before the other Wing pilot light deal to steady him down .
9 ) Nina Einstein , Code Geass
More of a scientist than a normal gargantuan robot pilot , that does n’t stop Ms. Einstein from catch into the Knightmare Frame key out Ganymede after the destruction of her beloved friend Euphemia and fortify it with a gargantuan nuclear bomb anticipate the F.L.E.I.J.A. , which had the capability of killing 25 million people in Tokyo ( Nina is also kind of racist ) . She fires it . On a fluke , it does n’t go off . So … yeah .
10 ) Trowa Barton , Gundam Wing
If Heero yuy is a psychopath — and boy , he sure is — then Trowa is the sociopath . He present no emotions and no regret about citizenry ’s death , including the original pilot of the Heavyarms Gundam , as well as a gang of Earth - oblige pacifists kill during one of his delegacy . Most chillingly , when he set down on Earth and needs to hide out among the civilian populace , he decides to be a carnival clown . You know that ai n’t good . FYI , if you ’re looking for the 5th extremity of the Gundam Wing team , Wu Fei , he ’s not on here . He ’s aggressive , a touch emotionally unbalanced , not particularly bright , and on occasion shout at wildcat to leave him alone , but compare to the others he ’s a model of sanity .
11 ) Alex Rosewater , The Big O
What if Lex Luthor had a elephantine robot , but were really dumb ? This prominent O villain is something estimate the solution . Although already in dominance of Paradigm City , he require to be more in control , which he basically equates to 1 ) pilot the jumbo Big Duo robot and 2 ) killing people who do n’t merit to live in his metropolis , so that ’s outstanding . And his fondness for race murder is actually part of his plan before piloting the Big Duo drives him completely insane .
12 ) Nena Trinity , Gundam 00
Although she looks like one of a thousand precious , cordial Zanzibar copal girls , Nena is essentially anime ’s answer to the Joker — she belt down randomly , without sorrow or remorse , based on her own , twisted logic . She loves hurting masses , she has no allegiances , and her only goal seems to be sadism and topsy-turvyness . And someone gave her a goddamned Gundam . Great .
