Mecha Trowa Barton Piloted Wing Zero Heavy Arms Heavy Arms Custom

Trowa Barton is the mysterious one of the group. Especially in the Japanese version, he seems to be completely without emotions, divorced from them as if he's watching life go by from someplace else and the things that would make ordinary people happy or sad simply don't seem to have an impact on him. The first time he helps circus-performer Cathrine Bloom with her knife-throwing act, she remarks that even though he is facing blades hurled at him by a stranger, his eyes the whole time look dead. Add to this that Trowa says very little and you have a mystery.

The view - that his memories are what generate the need to close part of himself off, is supported by the strange fact that when he becomes temporarily amnesic in the middle of the series, he seems to express fear, anxiety and wonder, which go away again when he regains those memories. In any event, Trowa seems to function on a very surface level with people he meet every day and only a few seem to get past that. Heero certainly, by way of his singleminded pursuit of the mission of Operation Meteor, Cathrine with her friendliness and maternal ways, and Quatre, perhaps for his sheer adoration of Trowa. Eventually, it is these people he will come to fight for as the series draws to its tense conclusion.
