Unlike all the other Zeon goons, Char wore a mask for undisclosed reasons, further adding to his allure. Besides a chance encounter with Sayla in Episode 2, everything and everyone about Char and his relations was totally up for interpretation. Until <em><strong>Gundam<\/strong><\/em>&rsquo;s fifth episode aired on May 5th, 1979. Suddenly, Char had a friend and ally.

Garma is not just a bad guy, but a bad guy with an implied backstory related to Char! And yet, something seems off. Char isn&rsquo;t just playing dirty against obvious good guys or lasers now.

Garma naturally takes the bait, depicted as selfish and vain in ways Char&rsquo;s charisma can control. While both are hungry for clout and power, Char ultimately emerges the victor by guiding Garma&rsquo;s forces directly into White Base&rsquo;s line of fire. Garma crashes to his death in a fiery blaze, only barely putting together the pieces when it&rsquo;s too late. This is when Char reveals his true intent: to destroy the Zabi family from the inside out. This classic betrayal isn&rsquo;t just about Garma, but as Char announcing himself as a whole new class of anime villain with unprecedented nuance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.38\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.38\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mobile Suit Gundam\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire2\/8f7d594fe178b7c78926bf8abf865fe51605317971_main.png\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 345px\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Innovating the meaning of &quot;friendly fire&quot; since 1979<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: italic;text-align: center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Variations_on_a_Theme\"><\/span><strong>Variations on a Theme<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.38\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.38\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-style:normal\"><span style=\"text-decoration:none\">While Garma&rsquo;s death sets off a chain of increasingly escalating events in <em><strong>Mobile Suit Gundam<\/strong><\/em>&rsquo;s Universal Century timeline, this is specifically an early series watershed.

The 2001 Playstation 2 game <strong><em>Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo<\/em><\/strong> provides one of the first accurate depictions of Garma dubbed in English, this time translating the famous line as:<em> &quot;Char, this time you double-crossed me!&quot;<\/em> While these variations on canon never change the essential arc of Char&rsquo;s first major betrayal, they nonetheless suggest a long-lasting fascination with a one-note character.

In this adaptation of the original series, a new arc was added about Char&#039;s previously mentioned academy days.
