I was only super into Gundam Wing, and Quatre was my favorite. I know, apparently that's weird, but I found him just too precious. Is he a "newtype" character? I heard theories about it, because he has some kind of... power, that happens suddenly and without explanation in an episode or two, and it's never explored in the actual show.

Ah, Gundam Wing, even with your many faults, you're stoll one of my favorite Gundam series. I don't see how that's so weird, he was popular enough.

Quatre is a bit like a newtype but since his abilities were never really explored or a major part of his character, I wouldn't consider him one. He's probably the closest this Gundam Wing had to newtypes. If you're curious about newtypes then the Gundam Wiki has an article on it.

I thought Quatre was generally the most hated Gundam pilot. Which is weird, because the show had Wufei in it. But whatever. lol

Since it was the only real Gundam I saw, besides bits and pieces here and there, the newtype thing confused me. I loved Quatre, and was obsessed with figuring out what the hell his abilities were. It drove me nuts that there wasn't more info about it. I guess it made it more interesting that the show didn't explore them, and I was probably so obsessed with the show because there were all these plot holes and unexplained stuff that you're forced to use your imagination about... but maybe they did that because newtypes were overrused in other series? I've no idea. I'll check out the wiki or something.

Wufei's easily the most hated which kinda sucks for me since he's my favorite of the bunch. But whatever, I love him and that's all that matters.

Speaking of Wufei, he was originally going to be a newtype but they scrapped that for whatever reason. The newtype thing can be pretty confusing if you've never seen the UC timeline. If you ever feel like it I'd suggest giving original Gubdam a go, though readong the wiki should suffice if all you want to know about is newtypes.

Oops. lol

I liked them all fine, but Wufei seemed to be the most ruthless and violent, and wasn't ever really portrayed as sympathetic like Heero was (who was also pretty ruthless and violent). I guess Wufei also has the huge disadvantage of not having an obvious slash-mate. Heero/Duo, Trowa/Quatre and... Wufei. But Quatre's wiki page says he was ranked lower than the others among fan favorite polls. I guess it depends on where in fandom you go - I was a little late to the fandom (probably there mid-2000s?) and I didn't involve myself a lot besides writing a few fanfics, so I can't say.

No worries. I'm used to seeing a ton of Wufei hate and I'm used to the shocked responses when I saw he's my favorite.

A lot of the problem is that they weren't able to get Episode Zero animated so instead we got those two clipshow episodes. Episode Zero goes into a bit of detail about the pilots lives before Operation Meteor and Wufei's in particular gives insight into his motivations for fighting. I think he was pretty sympathetic when his colony got blown up tbh. There's a lot of reasons why someone might not like them but a lot of them are blown way out of proportion. And yeah, he doesn't have an obvious slash-mate. 2x5 was relatively popular though. I ship him with the other four pilots.

I've heard that Quatre isn't particulatrly popular with the Japanese fandom. Outside of fujoshi, that is. Take that with a grain of salt though. I'm not sure how true it is. I was really late to the fandom, but from what I've seen Quate was popular on the English side of fandom.

...Tsubarov?

Treize's number was 13, if that's who you were going for. :p

Whoops, senior moment ^^

Yes, 13X5 is what I was going for, thanks Nonny!
