Editing Char Aznable (section)

=== ''Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack'' ===
Char returns in the movie ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack]]'', set five years later, as the leader of a new [[Zeon#Second Neo Zeon movement|Neo Zeon]] faction. He intends to create a [[nuclear winter]] by dropping the massive asteroid base Axis on the Earth, hence forcing a complete migration into space, which he believes will make all of humanity evolve into Newtypes. Only one thing stands in his way: the Federation's Londo Bell task force, and their top ace pilot, his old archrival [[Amuro Ray]].

In the second Neo Zeon movement, both Char and Amuro pilot mobile suits equipped with an advanced psycommu system known as psycoframe. Char authorized Anaheim Electronics to pass the psycoframe technology to the development team responsible for Amuro's Nu Gundam, effectively planning a fair showdown between them in advance. After Char's mobile suit is destroyed by Amuro in the duel, Amuro captures Char's escape pod, and against Char's taunting, attempts to push the asteroid Axis away from Earth. The intense willpower of Amuro and all the pilots assisting him causes Nu Gundam's psycoframes to resonate and overload, resulting in a spectacular aurora with Axis pushed out of Earth's orbit. Both Amuro and Char disappear without a trace in the incident. There is no concrete evidence about them being deceased in the movie although Nanai Miguel did claim that Char's life force was fading away, as Amuro intercepted Axis and cries for Char when Axis is finally pushed back. The fates of either character were never revealed in the film, though the novelization of ''Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack'' confirms both as [[Killed in action|KIA]]. The follow-up ''[[Gundam Unicorn]]'' also supports this idea. However, in the official Universal Century timeline for the animated series, it lists Amuro Ray and Char Aznable as [[Missing in action|MIA]].
