Taichou no Zaku-san

A bumbling but earnest and wellmeaning massproduction Zaku IIdespite holding rank and his best efforts he received little respect from his newermodel men. After he loses the Gyan of his dreams and later his captainship to his subordinate he becomes heartbroken and depressed drinking away his miserygoing on a drunken tirade that sees him demoted and later reassignedshipped off to the desperate frontline at Jaburo on Earth. He returns from the experience a battlescarred and incredibly capable warrior but still just as bumbling as everwielding three bazookas tied together into a single weapon and a heat hawk bigger than he ismore than proving himself by singlehandedly fighting and forcing the Gundam to retreat. For his actions he is promoted to commander of the Solomon Basethough the job ends up mostly consisting of desk work.
