[ "the man that bests Amuro Ray". well. not to be an asshole, but he will not, and there is a reason that gundams progress as much as they do after the war. the man was a trigger whether he likes it or not, and while the red comet held himself admirably against him -- angelo knew his history well enough, as to what came after that.
but the idea that char could be somebody else, not wanting to lead anyone -- there is a future waiting for them. angelo will not have it; this is not the kind of resolve he was expecting from char aznable. but at the same time .... he doesn't have to do anything. he doesn't have to stop char aznable, because char aznable does what he wants and they were only there to follow him, to whichever grave the red comet will lead them to. palau. dakar. or out in the edges of space. he doesn't know now, but he will, inevitably. eventually.
how ridiculously misguided everyone had been when they claimed that they remembered char best. the only people who knew him are dead. therefore, it stands to reason that whatever his captain say should've been authoritative. but everyone clung to char aznable like hope, insidious and poisonous to the most desperate of minds, when he himself, right here, is saying that he doesn't want anything else other than to beat amuro ray. that he knows only extinction awaits him.
spitefully, angelo thinks to himself, soon you will wish you were granted that favour. ]
You sound like a gambler. Profiting off the war for your own selfish, emotional reasons, only that you are the Red Comet and therefore thinks you can make do with a losing hand by yourself. [ angelo scoffs as he repeats to him -- ] "I only want to beat a Gundam." Certainly that's a noble goal. But there is a future in which you will be a part of, already are, whether you like it or not, Char Aznable.
And the more you seek power, the more it becomes inevitable. You cannot avoid who you are. Years and years later .... you still have that same streak in you. [ this is more personal, than anything else, but angelo is thinking of the unicorn, fighting the sinanju, and the tone of his captain's voice when he saw the unicorn, once more: ah. we meet again. like an old friend, the worst kind of enemy, and angelo resents it. ]
But I suppose it's nice to be hopeful. [ a snake, angelo smiles at him in an ugly manner, taught to him by someone who also doesn't care beyond the will that occupies a vessel painted in red. taunting char to hold on to such ideals, to see how long can char hold onto them like they were the only childhood he ever knew. angelo was no strategist, certainly, but the captain who held him was beyond humanity. ] Here, at least, you have truly become no-one, not leading anything or anyone.
[ and hey, that's a goal achieved, right? box ticked. roll snare, curtain call. it's good that he renounced the rank of captain to him. angelo feels, more and more, that he does not deserve it. ]

How childish!
