Mecha is one of the oldest franchises in anime history. It’s been around since near the beginning, and was the premiere genre for most of anime’s earlier decades. In that time, creators and franchises codified a ton of tropes that are unique to the genre.No matter how old some tropes are though, they never truly become outdated. In fact, fans often can’t get enough of the right tropes in their favorite series. Seeing how creators find ways to utilize them, whether it’s subverting them to do something unexpected or playing them straight but executing them uniquely, is the fun part of being a mecha fan.In the years that came afterward, Char’s presence caused both Gundam anime and other series to create tons of Char clones. These masked villains often serve as the biggest challenge to the protagonist, even when the actual enemy forces have been defeated. Their mindset and goals stand in strong opposition to the hero, leading to the kind of character-driven final showdowns that viewers remember even after they’ve forgotten everything else about an anime.
