there is only one beam saber or what ever
ongoing compilation of the gundam references i discover in aoyama gosho's gundam fic magnum opus detective conan. i don't know anything about gundam btw
AKAI -> CHAR
AMURO -> AMURO
SERA -> SAYLA
SCOTCH -> LALAH/GARMA?
KAZAMI -> KAMILLE
AKAI -> CHAR
- char clone zeta gundam edition (mentor to protag, dark and mysterious past, operates under false identity)
- hair always hidden by knit cap
- strong villainbaiting both as akai and as okiya
- akai shuichi | 赤井秀一 -> named after char's seiyuu who is also his own seiyuu (池田秀一 | ikeda shuichi) and char's nickname (赤い彗星 | akai suisei/red comet)
- fake name 諸星大 | moroboshi dai
- akemi called him dai-kun (ダイクン) -> char's birth surname is deikun (ダイクン)
- fake name 沖矢昴 | okiya subaru (オキヤ・スバル ) -> char's birth name is casval (キャスバル)
- wears identity hiding glasses as okiya
- okiya drives a red subaru 360 in the anime + akai drives a red ford mustang as of the darkest nightmare -> char's signature red gundam
- akai is known as silver bullet -> char is known as red comet (? tenuous)
- secret little sister on the protag team
- sera describes akai as 3x stronger than her in jeet kune do -> char's gundam is 3x faster than a normal gundam
- (seemingly) betrays and kills a close friend/teammate in pursuit of personal goals
- i follow an akam / charmuro fanartist who often tweets about how detective conan is basically like char's lotus eater dream where the world arranges itself according to his will and his love so his aim is always perfect and amuro actively seeks him out... from what i gather, it seems like akam have their narrative roles reversed from char and amuro so that amuro is the speed demon who is unhingedly obsessed with akai and wrongfully blaming akai for the death of someone he loved while akai is the good and heroic one
AMURO -> AMURO
- names amuro tooru and furuya rei come from a combination of amuro ray and furuya tooru (seiyuu of both amuros)
- accidentally causes death of a loved one (scotch vs lalah)
- amuro's bitter rivalry with akai -> gundamuro's bitter rivalry with char
- amuro drives a mazda rx-7 -> gundamuro pilots an rx-78-2 gundam
- amuro adopts pet dog called haro -> gundamuro customised a robot AI called haro
SERA -> SAYLA
- 世良真純 | sera masumi (セラ・マスミ) -> sayla mass (セイラ・マス)
- secret little sister of the char clone
- drives a yamaha artesia XT400 motorcycle -> sayla's birth name is artesia
SCOTCH -> LALAH/GARMA?
- scotch is the lalah in that his death is what tips akai and amuro's relationship from professional rivalry to personal hatred, and he dies at the hands of one of them in order to protect the other
- though it's reversed because lalah died to save char from amuro whereas scotch died to save amuro (or so scotch thought) and akai took the blame for scotch's death
- but in both gundam and conan it was amuro's fault...
- scotch is also the garma in that akai killing ("killing") him is a turning point that casts doubt on akai's morality and allegiances... but again in the opposite direction to char
- real name 景光 | hiromitsu is a reference to a different gundam series (gundam wing). hiro comes from heero yuy, gundam wing protag, and mitsu is an alternate reading of hikaru which is from heero and scotch's seiyuu, midorikawa hikaru. on a skim of heero's wiki page i don't think there seem to be personality/backstory similarities other than a moment where they sacrifice themselves to save their loved ones, though scotch dies for real where heero survives
KAZAMI -> KAMILLE
- kazami yuya -> kamille bidan, allegedly. they both have the same seiyuu, so it's definitely intentional, but i feel like gosho could have tried a bit harder with this one
- also kazami is working under amuro and not akai so that doesn't really reflect gundam canon but um... sure
