The 'Red Comet' meme centers on Char Aznable, the iconic antagonist from the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. Known for his custom red mobile suits and his reputation for moving 'three times faster' than ordinary pilots, Char has become a symbol of superior skill and dramatic flair in anime culture. The meme typically utilizes screenshots of Char’s intense gaze from behind his mask or his signature Zaku II in mid-flight. Fans use the template to joke about things that happen at incredible speeds, the sudden appearance of a formidable rival, or the sheer coolness of the Universal Century’s most famous pilot. It has remained a staple of the mecha community for decades, bridging the gap between classic 1979 animation and modern internet humor.
