Disambiguation:

Dozle Zabi (ドズル・ザビ Dozuru Zabi?) is a character that appears in the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam. Dozle is the third son of Degwin Sodo Zabi and the commander of the Principality of Zeon's Space Attack Force. His role in the One Year War was commanding Zeon's space forces, whether from his headquarters in the asteroid fortress Solomon or through direct leadership in battle. He is best known for piloting the massive mobile armor MA-08 Big Zam.

Personality & Character[]

Tall, burly, and scarred, Dozle casts a fearsome appearance at first glance but he is actually one of the more likable of the Zabi clan. Gregarious and good-natured, Dozle is a good man to his troops. He is also a devoted, loving family man having a wife, Zenna and baby daughter, Mineva (It must be noted that he also took a young woman named Marlene Karn as his mistress, half for her beauty and half to help her father Maharaja Karn). Dozle is closest to his younger brother Garma Zabi and looks forward to the day when Garma becomes an Admiral in his own right. Dozle dismisses Char Aznable from his division, blaming him (though not suspecting him of foul play) for incompetence in the battle that resulted in Garma's death. Dozle especially despises his sister Kycilia Zabi and this feeling is only increased when she recruits Char into her division.

Dozle is revered by his troops in the Space Attack Force for personally leading them in battle. He and his bodyguard and close friend Shin Matsunaga were known to stage frontline "inspections" in his custom MS-06F Zaku II, which typically became impromptu raids on nearby Earth Federation forces.

History[]

One Year War[]

In September of U.C. 0079, Char reported to Dozle regarding his discovery of the Federation's V Project. Dozle commented upon Char skipping an event for which he was to be the guest of honor. Following the death of Garma, Dozle returned to Side 3 where he met with his father and siblings. There it was decided that Char would be dismissed from the Space Attack Forces, although Kycilia immediately recruited Char into her forces. Dozle later sent out the Conscon mobile assault force in an attempt to defeat the White Base and humiliate both Char and his sister.

Dozle's command center was located in the heart of the asteroid Solomon (later renamed Konpei Island by the Federation), and it was there that Dozle made his last stand. Late in U.C. 0079, the Federation launched an offensive against Solomon, utilizing their remaining Salamis and Magellan class vessels. When the Federation's Public class boats successfully deployed their beam dispersion smoke, Dozle ordered the mandatory evacuation of all non-essential personnel. At the same time, the Federation deployed its first Solar System array at Solomon, which destroyed anything attempting to leave. Dozle mounted his own mobile armor, the MA-08 Big Zam, and flew out to buy time for the evacuees. Dozle fought to the last - even when the Big Zam was destroyed by Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam, Dozle ejected and shot at the Gundam with a machine gun. He was caught in the exploding Big Zam's blast and was killed. His death marked the beginning of the end for Zeon forces in space.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Dozle's dead body can be seen floating in the opening of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation 1st movie, "Heirs To The Stars".
  • In the game Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space, there are quite a few unique dialog moments exchanged during VS Mode.
    • If the player were to put Dozle against Char Aznable, Char would say "I'm sending your brother to join you, Garma. Consider this my farewell gift," while Dozle questions his treachery.
    • If the player were to put Dozle against Anavel Gato, Gato proclaims "Vice Admiral Dozle?! This must be a mistake!"
  • Dozle's comment regarding the mass production of the Big Zam is constantly re-used throughout his noncanonical appearances, especially should he appear in a video game.
  • Dozle appears in the Extreme Vs. series as an unplayable arcade boss using the Big Zam. When he uses Burst, his final act of defiance is also referenced.
  • In Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn, there is a stage that will give Dozle the opportunity to meet the teenage Mineva from Unicorn. Humorously, she is accompanied by Banagher Links, and Dozle immediately attacks him, believing him to have manipulated Mineva. Additionally, Riddhe Marcenas will reinforce Dozle while declaring him as "Father" much to the further confusion of Dozle.
