Hi, this is my perspective of the fascinating and mind boggling character, Heero Yuy.

Heero appears to most of those around him as an antisocial, guiltless, emotionless, cold hearted killer; however, this facade is not truly who he is. Heero proves numerous times that he does have emotions, cares about other human beings, and does not really desire to kill. The fascinating thing about Heero is that all his emotions and cares are deliberately repressed; it is as if he does not want to be seen as a caring person. Heero hides his emotions throughout the series, but occasional puts in a humorous comment. Ex. When he tells Trowa that if you're going to kill yourself, It hurts like hell. Heero is a very interesting character to interpret. It is obvious that he felt abandonment as a child due to his lack of attachment; I've often wondered how this feeling of abandonment came to be. No one knows about his parents, and from what I know about Dr. J, he trained Heero to be the "perfect soldier." Yet, this term is not really relevant in Heero's case. He may have been the perfect soldier, but there is a definite sign of weakness when he's around Relena. Somehow she brings out all those repressed emotions, that he can never seem to find. And even though Heero rarely shows it, I think he gets a kick out of the Gundam pilots. But then again this is just my opinion. I'm going to continue my analysis on Heero, but I need to get some information on psychological disorders to really make it relevant. If you would like to send your opinions, feel free to do so. I would be thrilled to have other opinions to compare to on this site.

Continued Analysis: As I have continued to watch the series, I see more and more about Heero's character. From episode 24 and 25, he appears very untrusting towards Quatre; it is almost as if at one point in his life, some form of trust was broken. This breach of trust has affected Heero's character dramatically as it appears that he never wants to trust or become attached to anyone. Again however, there is that underlying emotion deep in the back of Heero's cavern trickling slowly waiting to be unleashed onto the surface. Sometimes it appears this stream is about to burst forth, but every time, Heero represses it back; concealing all that he feels. From this concealment, I see an underlying suffering; a want to have something more, but a hand that keeps shoving it back, and that hand is his own. If only someone could open their arms, and free Heero's soul. But yet that concept hardly seems conceivable; the only place I ever really see anything like that at all is when Heero falls into Relena's arms in the Endless Waltz. He falls and she catches him; both physically and more so emotionally. The pain he felt was finally released, and maybe someday, he will be able to regain some of that energy strength that has been lacking since the day that he was born.

More to come soon...
