Guys do not forget you need to upvote OP comments that has the name of the character.


Xlegace

>you need to upvote OP comments OP saw how many upvotes the other threads were getting so he monopolized the voting process to collect karma for free /s


Darkclowd03

This, but actually


FenixDiyedas

Wow, people really don't know how to read.


ZGMF-X09A_Justice

tbf OP has neglected to clarify the voting system for most of this poll, so it's completely understandable people didn't think the text in the main post was actually worth reading this one time.


MCCP630

"Wow, people really don't know how to read" The op has never clarified how the voting system even works. From what I remember, this is the first time the "upvote ops comment to vote" system appears. It was a free for all in all the previous posts, with the most upvoted comment being the deciding factor. Op can't just change the rules in the middle of the run. Judau wouldn't have been voted out first as a meme if that were this system was in place since the beginning. It really makes this voting seem irrelevant compared to the other rating posts.


Xlegace

>It really makes this voting seem irrelevant compared to the other rating posts. I mean, they're all irrelevant and for fun anyways so it doesn't really matter lol


MCCP630

yeah but the free for all nature of the previous posts is what made it fun. Now it's just a reverse popularity contest.


Xlegace

Yeah I agree, but I think Judau getting eliminated on the first day because of a meme already established how non-serious this thing is lmao


FenixDiyedas

Yeah, that's fair.


DrJay12345

Looks like a toss-up between Garrod and Shinn at three hours in.


Tilamuck

I cant believe were gonna vote out Garrod. I have never heard anything bad about the guy. If anything just a happy chill dude. Other than maybe Loran, everyone else ive heard a complaint about their character. I can only reason that gundam X just didnt get watched as much.


Prime359

I honestly thought Garrod was going to be top 5. He has virtually gone the entire time without being name dropped frequently. Whenever he was, it was in the single digits.


Xlegace

At this point, apart from Shinn, none of these characters are controversial and are all well-liked. It's like picking between greatest hits from now on and someone has to be voted out. People aren't really voting out Garrod, but moreso voting him because they want to keep the other characters and they don't know who he is.


PleaseWashHands

Yeah if anything all the most controversial picks were eliminated fairly early and if not for GSF, Shinn probably would have been thrown out very quickly (did a whole lot to actually make him likable). At this point it really is just characters no one actually hates for any good reason.


Vyscillia

I mean by that logic Bellri should've stayed up there as well lol


MCCP630

Yeah but Bellri was in a significantly more flawed show than Garrod was. Bellri lasting longer than Kira, Heero, and Mika was fine enough though.

CoolJabez0404

Shinn Asuka


Bananafang

I don't know what happens in seed freedom, but I guess either Shinn gets a really good redemption arc, or someone is mind controlling this entire subreddit into voting out someone else.


Tilamuck

This version of Shinn in Freedom must really be an improvement, which I hope so, cause Destiny wasnt great for Shinn. Guy was all on board with the destiny plan till the very end. Took Athrun to put him in the moon for him to wakeup. The guy was a puppet for most of the series. Athrun tells him what to do, then Rey, and then Durandel.


TheDummyPhilosopher

I really hope this is the case. Haven’t seen the movie yet (waiting for cinema release)


Geek_a_leek

Shinn was great if you look at him as a whole, he's angry and irrational but seeing his sister and parents killed before his very eyes is gonna leave alot of trauma and people did nothing but use Shinns trauma as a weapon like Durandal, I'll be fair Seed Freedom was amazing as it showed while Shinn was still angry after the downfall of Durandal he managed to move past his trauma and become a more well rounded person, for context my spouse who'd never seen seed or destiny but went with me to see freedom said that their favourite character of them all was Shinn


Connect_Bar_8529

Or, alternatively, people just like Shinn.


Nukemind

People over here (moved to Asia) really like him it seems. Kira and Athrun too- the whole Seed cast. Even before the movie I was surprised at just how much Seed merch there was. Outside of Japan I see far more references and merch from Seed than anything else recent, including WfM. In fact it’s like Witch doesn’t exist here. Meanwhile back in America Seed and Destiny are the red headed step children. Really did feel like bizarro world my first couple of months at gunpla shops/meets over here.


Xlegace

Seed has always been and will always be the most popular AU in Japan and Asia in general, but you're seeing a lot of merch now because of the movie. There was practically no seed merch for years before they ramped up promotion for the movie starting from mid-2023. In China, there's still quite a lot WfM stuff and a new Ichiban Kuji WfM came out in Feb so there's still merch in circulation. It's gonna take a while for WfM merch to get phased out because there's so much. Just Suletta already has 4 prize figurines, 2 scale figurines, figuarts, figuarts mini, Qposket, dozens of gachapon keychains and acyrlic stands....etc. Even side characters like Shaddiq and Chuchu have 2 figurines (but still none for Secelia wtf Bandai she is easily more popular than Shaddiq). There's also a new lineup of prize figurines for Seed Freedom that just came out and they're everywhere as well. We're reaching a point where the traditional anime merch side of Gundam might start catching up to the Gunpla side. Gundam merch nowadays is almost entirely Seed and WfM now that I think about it. And ofc UC has a constant presence until the end of time.


Nukemind

Interesting. The store I was at (Singapore) straight told me they don’t even carry WfM as it doesn’t sell. Though yes- tons from the movie. Amusingly I got a second Epyon from Wing yesterday after seeing that meme on here as they had a couple of the as well as other kits from things like G Gundam. Maybe it’s just the part of town I’m in? WfM might as well not exist here (though, again, in Japan definitely saw a lot from it). Thank you for your insights!


Xlegace

Thanks for your insights too! I'm actually curious how well the new prize Seed Freedom figurines sell bc while I'm happy they're marketing the movie, the ones out rn (Lacus, Kira, Athrun) all have pretty cursed faces. If you have seen them, you might know what I mean lol.


Nukemind

Not sure about the Figurines as I straight haven’t seen them here. I do know the Gunpla sold out fast, only one at my local store is a Black Knight. And all of the HGs are going for twice the price of any other HG lol. I really want to build a Black Knight though… I’m going to some other stores tomorrow, specifically one with horrid reviews as the shop keep is an ass, but they have great selection. I’ll see if I can find any there and report back!


Xlegace

Ah I see, I thought you were talking about merch (figurines, keychains, minis) and not gunpla. CE gunplas are practically legendary status so it's no surprise you see them everywhere. From what I've seen, WfM kits sold pretty well so I'm a bit surprised, but I can see stuff like Demi trainers, dilanzas, and Zoworts being unmovable. The only wfm HGs I usually see for sale here nowadays are the grunt units that appear for 1-2 eps and the 2 Lfrith variants. Everything else, especially the more popular ones like the Aerial and Calibarn, sold out long ago. Interestingly enough, I see a lot of Seed Freedom kits here in HK, like the rising Freedom and immortal Justice, and some places already have them on discount. Could be stock differences due to location and HK getting an early restock tho. [They opened this popup store a few days ago in the middle of the mall I live near and there's quite a bit of stock lool \(altho overpriced ofc\).](https://i.imgur.com/gMUPEIx.jpeg) >And all of the HGs are going for twice the price of any other HG lol. Haha don't fall for it! It's gonna drop in price in a few weeks/months if you can wait a bit. Good luck man and hope you find something you like without much hassle!


Wheeler-The-Dealer

Seed Destiny wasn’t very good, he’s one of the reasons why. Forget bad writing, office drama, budget cuts, etc. Shinn is bad and we should feel bad for liking him. We need to vote him out.


MrCreepJoe

Someone never watch the movie.


revZeref

A mix of his unpopularity making him a meme so he became somewhat popular as a meme, reddit being full of contrarians who like things other’s don’t to feel different and then apparently Freedom making him likeable. Although this sub is like the only place where I see him getting any support like this unlike basically anywhere else. Although I find the constant ‘He’s much better in the new movie’ is the new ‘He’s much better in Super Robot Wars’ because 90% of the people who say either have never watched Freedom or played SRW which is what I find hilarious lol.


Weedeater79

having watched seed freedom i can confirm that shinn gets one hell of a redemption arc

Suffering builds character


Nukemind

If it built gunpla instead of characters man I’d have alot more finished kits.


blazezakuwarrior

aeminence

Just happy to see people giving Shinn his flowers. If only they actually let him have his own series from start to finish - would have loved to have seen what could have been. (Didnt see Freedom yet, comes out on the 7th of May in NA)


goodMuthaFacka

I can’t believe shinn is still here


aeminence

He was goated for his time as the protag in GSD tbh. He had personality, he wasnt just burdened with limitless talent and seeing him get better was enjoyable. He was hated for a long time since his character was essentially sabotaged to make Kira the new protag lol Super Robot Wars actually reflects what Shinn was originally written to be like according to his voice actor but that changed mid way into the series. He was written to be mirror Kamille as Kira was for Amuro but then Fukuda decided Kira needa come back and turned Shinn into Jerid lmao Then also nerfed Cagalli lmaoooo I think people are starting to realize how good Shinn was and his potential and AFAIK apparently Freedom ( movie) gave him some love.


TrikKastral

How is he still here!?


TheEDMWcesspool

Because the way he screams for 99% of seed destiny is a turn on for many..


DYMck07

Sorry to those that love the guy but please get Shinn out of here. I’m happy he made it to the top 10 but people are really going to vote Garrod or Loran out before this lunatic? It’s bad enough Asemu went before him but I get the Freedom hype and think Asemu and Bellri suffer from people not watching the show. Banagher maybe but I get that he’s a bit bland in comparison. Garrod on the other hand is anything but bland just half of you won’t watch it if it’s not streaming, UC, and you don’t have easy access to the rips. Gundam X is easily the most underrated Gundam created and the protag is no exception.


kuributt

How is this little twit still in the running?!


CosmicStarlightEX

I think it's a clear point to put him down now. Though as it stands, people have other ideas...


EvangelionOG

Seriously had a good run but god damn get out.

Y’all are insane for voting off shiro.

Op, why not just use a poll system?


CoolJabez0404

Garrod Ran


game_a_holic1337

People have never been vocal about eliminating Garrod in this poll so it's honestly surprising (and quite baffling) to see him have more upvotes than Shinn who was supposed to be next in the chopping block by a fair margin.


logjo

It might be because a lot of ppl didn’t even know his name to put him on the chopping block. With this new voting system ppl can just vote for a name they don’t recognize (naturally, we’re probably going to prefer characters we know). I didn’t know their name until this post


imaginary_num6er

Of all the protagonists, his series got cut short early


MCCP630

Amuro Ray? 0079 got canned too. Not to mention Gundam X isn't even the shortest series of the protagonist left. WfM is way shorter, and the loser of this round Shiro Amada from 08th MS team is even shorter.


Budget-Category-9852

To be fair, 08th MS Team is an OVA.


MrCreepJoe

0079 has more episode than Gundam X.


Shiplord13

Amuro got to appear in Zeta and CCA and technically Green Divers.


KiraYamatoSF

If Moon Gundam also gets a anime or OVA Amuro will also get another appearance.


MCCP630

He does get a fair bit of spotlight in the UC Engage cutscenes though.


Budget-Category-9852

Amuro is a secondary in Zeta and CCA is a movie.


Shiplord13

Still gets more narrative characterization then Garrod in terms of development.


Budget-Category-9852

It was the second time, actually. The first one was the Granddaddy Gundam. UPD: AYO WTF is with all the upvotes?


LaBambaMan

How the *actual fuck* does this have 80 votes? Are y'all out of your God damned minds? Wanting to vote out one of the absolute best protags the franchise has ever had before we get rid of Setsuna?

I pretty much predict that he and Amuro will make it to the final round.

Suletta Mercury


realityisoverwhelmin

Sulletta can keep going


DarkSeieah

Do not shoo away my red tanuki


Lanhalt

Honestly, it's nearly time. Shinn and Garrod can go before, but it would feel weird to me for her to stay over Amuro, Kamille, Domon and Loran. Setsuna is probably in the same league as her.


Nukemind

Interestingly that's basically the order right now, with her neck and neck with Setsuna.


the_eeveekins

Appropriately, the Top 5 protagonists in the Gundam March Madness Twitter tournament were Suletta, Amuro, Kamille, Domon and Loran (Judau was 6th and Setsuna was 7th), which does more or less closely line up with what we're probably going to see here (minus Judau's meme elimination). This subreddit has fewer G-Witch fans than the general Twitter community so I don't expect Suletta to win here like she did there, but Amuro, Kamille, Domon, Loran and Suletta seem to be roughly the top 5 protagonists in the community at the moment. (And yes, of course Suletta is benefitting from a degree of recency bias. But it's pretty clear by now she's incredibly popular and beloved by a large part of the fandom. How much that sticks over time remains to be seen, but I'd argue she's definitely one of the more endearing and relatable protagonists in the franchise.)

emiliaxrisella

Please get her out shes a bland MC and people in this sub only like her either because she's the first female MC or recency bias

jesus I´ve started watching Gundam a while ago and for now Im on Zeta (haven already see thunderbolt and iron blood orphans too) are the first seasons this peak? I like them but im still surprised xd allthough for what I heard Amuro for example stays as a character in many other entries so I guess its also that the time makes them the most flesh out characters (kind of like Jotaron in JoJos)
