** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': [[spoiler: Quatre.]] Although, his is an odd example, since it's the system he was hooked into to that psychically broke him. And then he bounced back.
*** Before piloting Wing Zero, [[spoiler: Quatre]] was ''already'' distraught over [[spoiler: his colony's betrayal, his father's death and one of his sisters being critically injured during the attack. The manga says she died, but in the anime she just vanishes -- and later, the light novel says she lived on.]]. The system was merely a catalyst: he would've have been broken anyway without the Zero system, which sped up the breaking process.

*** [[spoiler: The second Lockon (and said twin brother) didn't have it much better. He tried to get over his own revenge desire, but had to deal with his teammates distrusting him at first and comparing him to the first one for a while. And then his girlfriend turned out to be a ManchurianAgent, and when he was THIS close to subvert her brainwashing... she got brainwashed AGAIN, and Setsuna has to ShootTheDog. [[HeroicBSOD He almost breaks]].]]
*** As long as we're talking Gundam pilots, most of the non-Char non-Bright cast in ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''. Four comes prebroken, but Rosamia, who seems like a CloudCuckoolander (if perhaps mildly mentally challenged) completely breaks during the series. [[spoiler: Kamille himself in the finale.]] What can you expect from a series with a mobile suit named the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Psyco Gundam]]?
** While not the main Gundam pilot, ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' has a picture of a young, happy [[TeamDad Jamil Neate]] prior to his stint as the GX's original pilot. Fifteen years later, he is [[TheStoic much more subdued]], has a huge scar across his face, [[spoiler: (the girl who's with him in the picture has been turned into a GirlInABox and disappeared)]], he is put into extreme pain when he uses his Newtype powers, and has a major "cockpit phobia" that prevents him from operating a mobile suit. (Not that any of these factors make him less of a total badass.) Plus the whole ''blaming himself for the apocalypse'' thing.
*** And while not shown openly, his adoptive daughter and fellow Newtype Tiffa Addil is strongly implied to have been treated as a little more than a lab rat for most of her 15 years of life, which left her [[ShrinkingViolet with a strong phobia of people]] aside of Jamil and the ''Freeden'' crew. A good part of her CharacterDevelopment consists on this particular broken cutie managing to put her own pieces together and remaining quiet, yet not as fearful as she used to be.
** Flit Asuno in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'', when [[spoiler:Yurin dies]]. From then on, he goes the [[spoiler: DarkMessiah]] route.
** As of the third generation, [[spoiler: his grandson Kio Asuno]] is getting quite broken as well. In episode 32, i.e., [[spoiler: the death of his CoolBigSis figure Shanalua]] '''hurt'''. And it gets worse when [[spoiler: he finds himself empathizing with a dying colony and falling for the DelicateAndSickly Lua...]]
** In ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamThunderbolt'', there's Karla Mitchum. The entire Thunderbolt Sector fiasco breaks her, leading to the events of the end of the first season/December Sky, where she witnesses her fellow scientists being vaporized by a beam saber blade and she just ''breaks''. By the events of the next saga, she's regressed to the mentality of a child.
