Shani Andras is a fictional character in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Shani is one of the three "Living CPU" assigned to operate one of the Earth Alliance's new Gundam mobile suits, GAT-X252 Forbidden. As with his comrades, his personal data has been erased from the military's records. While piloting Forbidden, the antisocial Shani prefers to fight alone without his teammates interfering, and between missions he puts on his headphones and blocks out the outside world by listening to music. His hair, which usually covers the left side of his face, conceals the fact that his eyes are different colors. However, both of Shani's eyes can be seen in episode 46 at 12:15. He was killed by Yzak Joule and the Gat-X102 Duel, after Dearka Elsman damaged the Forbidden`s beam deflectors, Yzak went in for a kill prompting Shani to fire the Scylla at him. Yzak blocked this attack with his shield and surprised Shani by rishing out of the remnents and disabling his suit, following this was a strike with his beam sword right through Shani`s cockpit thus killing him.
Notes
- Just like other "Boosted Man", Shani's last name derived from a demon of Ars Goetia, Marquis Andras.
- Shani's english voice actor, Richard Ian Cox, provides the voice for Allelujah Haptism in Mobile Suit Gundam:00. Allelujah, like Shani was an expirement to create a better soldier. Allelujah also has an alter ego, Hallelujah, who is harsh, sadistic and very unstable. These are similar characteristics to Shani.
- Shani wears Jeans with his Uniform rather than the standard dress pants.
