Haro (ハロ) is the mechanical mascot of the Gundam Science-fiction Anime series, and is the only character that appears in more than one timeline. UNIVERSAL CENTURY The original Haro is a little robot companion built by the main character Amuro Ray . It is a cute testament to Amuro's exceptional talent for machines. Haro's features include a limited range of speech, built-in arms and legs which it only uses once in the first episode, and the ability to hover (in environments with atmosphere and low gravity) by flapping its appendage coverings. Haro can usually be found rolling behind Amuro's next door neighbor Fraw Bow . Maybe the most amazing function of Haro is the ability to detect brain waves. In one of the episodes, Haro actually claimed that the brain wave of Amuro is lowered/different. In Zeta Gundam , a mass-produced Mk-II version of Haro ends up in the hands of that series's main protagonist Kamille Bidan, who at least initially suspects it to be the original . He repairs the robot, only to have it constantly address him as Amuro. During the events of Char's Counterattack , Amuro gives a "third-generation" Haro to Hathaway, the son of his captain Bright Noah, who keeps it all the way to his own story as told in the Gundam novel Hathaway's Flash. In the Manga Crossbone Gundam , penned by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino , Berah Ronah has a robotic parrot named Haro, which refers to her as "Matilda-san". This seems to imply that her Haro is (or was made from the remains of) Amuro Ray's Haro, since it mistakes Berah for the redheaded Lieutenant Matilda Adjan, who appearing in the original series. In Victory Gundam , the main character Usso has a Haro replica that he received from his father. Usso's Haro possesses a remarkably advanced Artificial Intelligence , and is even capable of piloting Mobile Suit s. COSMIC ERA Haro continues to permeate the Gundam frachise, having appeared in Gundam SEED as Lacus Clyne 's multi-colored horde of simple-speech robot pets, built for her by Athrun Zala . These Haros are roughly 1/4 the size of their Universal Century counterparts. Her favorite Haro is a pink machine that she refers to as "Pink-Chan". ("Mr. Pink" in the English dub or is sometimes even known as Pinky) Another notable Haro in Lacus's collection is "Navy-Chan", a navy blue robot on which she paints a mustache bearing a distinct resmemblance the facial ornament of the ∀ Gundam of the CC (正歴 ''Seireki'') Calendar System . In Gundam SEED Destiny , Lacus impersonator Meer Campbell is often seen with her own red Haro. Unlike other Haros, which speak Japanese, "Mister Red" speaks in English. In the game Gundam SEED Never Ending Tomorrow , there is a special mode called "Haro Madness" where you fight gigantic versions of "Pink-Chan", "Navy-Chan", and a green Haro(Green-Chan?). They have their own signature traits, and this mode is said to be one of the hardest in the entire game. |
