Revision as of 13:07, 29 June 2012
Sleggar Law (スレッガー・ロウ, Sureggā Rōu?) is a fictional character in the Mobile Suit Gundam anime series and the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga.
History
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.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin
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 "Gihren's Greed", 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.
