“ | You hit me twice! Not even my own father hit me before! | „ |
~ Amuro Ray after being slapped in the face by Bright Noa. |
Amuro Ray is the pilot of the RX-78-2 Gundam and the main protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam.
He is voiced by Toru Furuya in the Japanese version, and by the late Michael Lindsay, Brad Swaile, Matthew Erickson and Lucien Dodge in the English version.
Personality[]
Amuro is, in no particular order, paranoid, antisocial, blunt, and prone to angsting about how hard his life is. He's also an unfailingly loyal friend to anybody who manages to get through that facade, and puts his life on the line again and again in order to take down Zeon and its successors. Amuro goes through some fairly serious and absolutely justified PTSD over the first half of the show or so, given that he's the lynchpin of major combat with absolutely no preparation. After his desertion and the events with Ramba Ral, while still remaining a sensitive and fairly kind person, he finally seems to adjust to being part of the ship and his role. It gets to the point where he actually gets over Lalah's death fairly quickly at the time.
Biography[]
The son of the Gundam's designer, Tem Ray, Amuro is a 15-year-old engineering prodigy who spends more time with machines than humans. Climbing into the Gundam's cockpit in an attempt to fight a war that's suddenly hit too close to home, he finds himself serving as the White Base's main line of defense — and struggling mightily with life as a soldier. Introverted, sensitive, headstrong, and initially caring only about his own survival, Amuro eventually comes to realise that many other people matter too.
Trivia[]
- The time where Amuro having to learn how to deal with others is a major theme in the series.
- Amuro Ray and the RX-78-2 Gundam lost against Optimus Prime from Transformers in the 98th episode of DEATH BATTLE!
