Gihren Zabi also spelled Giren is a fictional character and antagonist from the universe of the Gundam anime series. One of the heads of the Principality of Zeon Gihren is the oldest son of Degwin Sodo Zabi the ruler of Zeon and the instigator of the war with Earth. With the death of Degwin039s favorite son Garma Zabi in battle Degwin withdraws from day to day duties as Zeon039s leader which effectively made Gihren the leader of Zeon. This was most evident in the speech Gihren gave at Garma039s state funeral. This speech was notable for possibly being the debut of the trademark salute quotSieg Zeonquot literally translated as quotVictorious Zeonquot. Giren was gifted with a high IQ 240 and ingenious oratory abilities. He and his sister Kycilia were constantly at odds with each other as both had similar political goals but different methods. Although Gihren was successful in reducing his father039s role to that of a figurehead ruler he must still endure Degwin039s criticisms and scorn. Degwin saw Gihren as little more than an updated version of historical dictator Adolf Hitler a role that Gihren was all too happy to take to heart.
