Amuro is a popular character in fandom, though at times overshadowed by his more famous rival. In the broader anime community he is seen as an influential and iconic character and connections are sometimes drawn between Amuro and later mecha protagonists. Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass in particular have been brought up as examples of Amuro's broader thematic legacy as both are characters experiencing angst and emotional turmoil surrounding their roles as combatants.
