Mobile Suit Gundam: A Char For All Seasons

On top of that, he's completely right in what he says about humanity. Not even Kira can think of good counter arguments and can only rebut him with a pathetic "No, you're wrong! It's not true!"

I love how with Tatsuya and McGillis the protagonists see through their disguises instantly.

Wish the list included Full Frontal since he's the only physical Char Clone.

Rau justifies a lot of his bad behavior on the fact that he isn't an organic human, but a clone—and you and I know that the meta implication here is astounding.

I haven't watched UC since it first came out but isn't he only a clone in the traditional sense in the original novel? From what I remember of the anime, spoiler[it's implied that he was basically a no-name ace before he became Full Frontal, with the later happening because he'd been implanted with memories and altered to look like Char.]

While it isn't that well known in English circles, mainly because it's obscure to begin with and so far disconnected from UC Gundam's time frame, there is Gaia Gear too. spoiler[Afranche is a literal flesh-and-blood clone of Char.]

Rau's probably the best part of SEED imo, especially the later portions. The really sad thing, though kind of hilarious in retrospect, is how right Rau is about the Cosmic Era's problems (especially with what comes after in Destiny) and how nobody, especially Kira, can argue them.

According to the Gundam wiki spoiler[Full Frontal is actually Char Aznable. However, during the Axis event in 0093, his soul split in two. One half, the part of him that wanted to drop Axis onto Earth for the preservation of the Earth and mankind, died and passed on. However, another part of him refused to die, but that part was incomplete without the other half and resulted in Full Frontal, a man who isn't sure if he really is Char or merely a clone of him. He has vague memories of Char, but can't tell if they're real(These memories being from the other half that passed on.). At the end of Unicorn, during the second event, Full Frontal comes face to face with his other half, Amuro, and Lalah, and consents to finally move on and leave the world to the new generation as the time of Char and Amuro was over.]

And people say UC is the most legit timeline
