Roux Louka (ルー・ルカ?) is a character from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and is the pilot of the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam during the first Neo Zeon movement.

Personality & Character[]

Roux is often confident in her own abilities as a pilot and a woman, and is not afraid to use her charm to get her out of some situations or just to get under someone's skin at times, teasing them. These tactics were most notably used on Glemy Toto, who she managed to fool into helping her and survive several attacks that put her life on the line, though this later led to an obsession on Glemy's end. Her patronizing attitude also causes problems between her and her squad-mates, often leading to arguments, especially with Elle and Beecha. She considers them as nothing more then childish kids at first, but forms a strong bond with all of them over the course of the series.

Skills & Capabilities[]

One of her most notable abilities is flirtation and acting, often feigning feelings to enemies and strangers to get what she desires. She also has a relatively high skill level as an MS pilot, and she not only chose the Zeta Gundam, which usually only Kamille Bidan and Judau could pilot, as her machine, but she can also operate the ZZ Gundam.

History[]

An A.E.U.G. recruit serving on the Argama after joining up with on Shangri-La to deliver the Core Fighter, as well as helping Judau's group deal with the junk dealers, Zeon, and Yazan. Roux Louka becomes the pilot of Zeta Gundam when Judau Ashta changes over to the MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam. A regular soldier and older than Judau and his counterparts, her patronizing attitude towards them initially causes friction, but eventually an unfaltering bond of trust forms between them. However, she still gets into many arguments with fellow pilot Elle Vianno during the course of the series, possibly due to the fact that both women have a romantic interest on Judau. Despite mixed feelings between the enemy pilot Glemy Toto and herself, Roux kills him in their final confrontation by incinerating him with Zeta's beam rifle. After the war, she joins the Jupiter Energy Fleet along with Judau, and seems to begin a relationship with him.

Trivia[]

  • The exact nature of the relationship between Judau and Roux has remained one of the most ambiguous throughout the franchise history. Although the two grew close during Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, there were no moments that explicitely implied they were growing close romantically, although the fact they remained together to join the Jupiter Energy Fleet would imply their bond was considerably strong.
    • There is no mention of Roux during any of Judau's appearances in his old age as Grey Stoke, although in Mobile Suit Victory Gundam Side Story, a woman who resembles Roux is seen in one of the cold sleep pods inside the Dandelion space colony.
    • In Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, the final cutscene of Roux' Mission Mode, in which she challenges Judau to a duel is titled "More than Friends, not yet Lovers".
    • In Mobile Suit Vs. Giant God of Legend: Gigantis' Counterattack, Judau claims that Roux had dumped him. This story however is noncanonical.
    • In SRW there relationship is more ambiguous in Alpha Gaiden shows hint at a romance between the two but by Alpha 2 and 3 there relationship as romantic partners is never brought up or shown. Only even in newer entries there relationship status is never brought up.
  • In SRW Roux along with the rest of the Gundam Team have the Newtype ability but In SRW T in a special quote against Char shows Roux has strong Newtype abilities able to sense Char.
  • Roux appears in the Gundam Vs. series as a pilot for the Zeta Gundam. While she was originally a clone of Kamille, but unable to use the bio sensor and being more focused on the Wave Rider mode, Roux would be retooled to have her own unique wave rider dash as well as being able to summon Judau's ZZ Gundam for support.
    • Roux senses something familiar when meeting Marida Cruz and doesn't believe that their encounter would be their first meeting. Additionally, she will be surprised to learn that Hathaway Noa had become a terrorist despite Bright's upbringing. Humorously, she is disgusted by the appearance of Iino Abbav's "Zeta Zaku".
