He’s an interesting character, but the name remains very strange, yes. You’d think that if he was just called Bushido-san, you still could attribute it to a translation or something, but the “Mr.”…

The Japanese really have a strange obsession with english words…

Me and my friends are split over Mr. Bushido’s popularity.

We find him cool.

The other half wonders how a blond non-Japanese character obsessed over a Middle Eastern (non-Japanese) rival suddenly becomes… Mr. Bushido. o_O;

I find Saji to be one of the most satisfying characters in the show. I mean he represents something important to the story: the civilian. He, like most people in today’s world, never thought that anything happening in the world was actually happening to him.

When the war affected Louise, he could only distance himself from it. He’s terrified of war and refuses to acknowledge it as part of his life. That is, until he indirectly causes a massacre.

Saji acts the same way any average young adult would and for that I see him as an essential character to the story.

On a side note, I see the sentimental military characters as an expression of the fact that everyone is fighting for their own personal reasons, not just the meisters. It’s also a direct throwback to Zeta Gundam (A Laws = Titans, but I’m not sure if you ever saw that show)
