During the battle of A Baoa Qu at the end of the original series, Sayla finds Char and Amuro dueling in a fierce sword fight.

Trying to convince herself that he isn't dead, she cries tears of sadness and regret at his apparent loss. Luckily Amuro flies out of A Baoa Qu safe and unharmed. After he ejects from his Core Fighter, it is Sayla who welcomes him back with open arms.
Given the somewhat intimate scenes in the series between Sayla and Amuro, the fact that Fraw is soon to be married to Hayato, and that in the novel series (penned by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino) Sayla and Amuro are romantically and sexually involved, Sayla may have originally been intended to be Amuro's soulmate and future girlfriend/wife. is a Japanese Anime creator director screenwriter and novelist However, this was not to be so. In the novelization, Amuro is killed while battling Char out in space, and Sayla accused Char of killing "her most beloved person". And in subsequent Gundam series, Amuro is paired with other leading women, effectively reducing Sayla to secondary character status, generally because either the story didn't involve Amuro as in ZZ Gundam or because You Inoue was unavailable as with Zeta Gundam or ultimately because of Inoue's untimely death in 2003.
