Sleggar Law
From the The Gundam Wiki, the ultimate guide to Gundam
Sleggar Law (スレッガー・ロウ, Sureggā Rō?) is a fictional character in the Mobile Suit Gundam anime series.
One Year War
Slegger was a late addition to the series. An ace pilot and brilliant gunner for the Earth Federation Forces, as well as a man of a strong, cheerful, flirtatious and brutally honest personality, Slegger joins the White Base crew and fights along with them, until his death in battle against the Big Zam during the Battle of Solomon.
He had a brief romance with White Base navigator Mirai Yashima. However, Sleggar felt that Mirai was too wonderful and deserved better than someone like him, so he rejected further advancement in their relationship, but he did give her the ring that inherited from his mother, shortly before his last ever sortie.
Alternate Storylines
In Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Gundam the Origin, Slegger first appears during Char Aznable's invasion of the Federation's Jaburo HQ. In this adaptation, Law pilots a customized GM unit.
In the strategy game Gundam: Gihren no Yabou, if Sleggar survives the One Year War, he will resurface in the second half of the game as a member of the AEUG alongside his former White Base compatriots, wearing a Zeta Gundam era pilot suit in blue (his personal color) and yet in conversing with some of his teammates (e.g. Amuro, Sayla) he is considered to not have changed much from his carefree personality seven years ago.
Trivia
- Noburo Ishiguro, director of the anime series Superdimensional Fortress Macross said in an interview with the magazine Gundam ACE that the character Roy Focker was like a son of Sleggar Law. In fact they both have striking similarities, but Focker has a much more trascendence and protagonism in Macross. Ishiguro said that he really liked the character of Sleggar, so he wanted to have someone like him in Macross, but also with a more significant participation in the series.
