Johnny Ridden

was one of the many ace pilots who fought for the Principality of Zeon during the devastating One Year War. His nickname was originally said to be the Red Blitz (赤い稲妻, Akai Inazuma?), but this was later retconned into the Crimson Lightning (真紅の稲妻, Shinku no Inazuma?). Ridden gained fame as a character from Mobile Suit Gundam's variant line, MSV.
