Dren meant no harm, and his question was likely a routine part of the chain of command. However, for Char, being questioned about his capabilities might have been slightly unsettling.

At this point, Char has yet to exact his revenge on the Zabi family and has repeatedly failed in attempts to destroy the White Base. The frustration and impatience lurking behind his confidence might have manifested in this little act of snapping off the communication.

Char is considered one of the most distinguished commanders within the Gundam series, yet his high pride and sensitivity emerge even in such small interactions. This contributes to his appeal and a sense of "humanity."

Even if it was just a moment of slight irritation from a junior's remark -- the exchange of "I'm sorry...." Snap! remains an unforgettable scene that speaks volumes about Char's character.

The anime "Mobile Suit Gundam" was a robot anime produced by Sunrise, aired from April 1979 to January 1980, directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino. It pioneered the new genre of "real robot anime," having a significant influence on subsequent robot animations. While the broadcast ratings were initially poor, popularity soared with reruns and the release of the theatrical version, sparking the "Gunpla" boom. Many derivative works, including subsequent Gundam series and spin-offs, have been produced and it remains highly popular to this day.
