What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- While Orga Itsuka and McGillis Fareed unearthed Hashmal, one of the Mobile Armors destroyed the world 300 years ago, he interrupted their survey and woke the MA up despite their warnings, for he could earn fame via defeating it.
- Owing to his reckless move, his several loyal guards were brutally killed under the MA's attacks to protect their master.
- While Orga and McGillis had come out a plan to lead the MA out of the valley, he shot the MA three times, making it turn back the route, which would led to a village's destruction, as the MA fired its beak cannon.(Though Ride attempted to use his MS as a shield, it turned out to be unsuccessful).
- Although his crew, Julieta Juris, soon scolded his foolish and carried his damaged unit away from the battlefield, the battle with the MA afterwards would made Mikazuki Augus's health much more worse, as he had use too much power stopping it.
- Allowing his fleet to use Dainslef, a deadly weapon that could penetrate nearly everything, ultimately destroyed Naze Turbine and his ship, Hammerhead, even the ships evacuating civilians nearby. He even boasted this shameless victory on board.
- Leading his team to kill Akihiro Altland, while his Gundam was crippled by Dainslef.
- He even declared his judgement speech when he attempted give a final blow, though he never managed to deliver the hit. This proves to be his undoing after Akihiro, who has intense hatred for him, overheard Iok’s speech that he managed to overpower him that gave Iok a gruesome death, which is played with satisfaction.
Notes[]
- Unlike other hate sinks in the entire Gundam Series, he's neither a brilliant strategist nor an ace pilot, while he always made stupid decisions, and his piloting skill were totally mediocre.
- While the show's second season is notable for its rather questionable storytelling, Iok is the one most hatred by fans as he is responsible for Naze, Amida, Lafter and Akihiro's deaths, and having a poor character developement.
