Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Trailer (2025)
US Release Date: February 28, 2025
Starring: Shimba Tsuchiya, Tomoyo Kurosawa, Yui Ishikawa
Director: Kazuya Tsurumaki
Synopsis: Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space. When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.

Under the entry name "Machu," she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji. Now their world is about to enter a new era.
A new trailer for Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is out, and it changes everything we thought we knew about the series. Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX was first announced late in 2024 with a basic plot summary revolving around an underground fighting ring for Mobile Suits called Clan Battles, but beyond that, both Sunrise and Khara have been notably quiet about what to expect from the series.

For a while now, there hasn’t been much known about Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX beyond some rumors, but that’s just changed in a big way. A new trailer for the compilation film, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX: Beginning, has just been released in celebration of its box office success, and in a surprise twist, the new trailer for Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX confirms the rumors that it’s set in an alternate version of the Universal Century timeline with the appearance of Char Aznable at the end. It’s an incredible twist, and overall, it makes the series that much more worth watching.

Everything We Know About GQuuuuuuX's Connection To The Original Gundam Anime

With the new trailer confirming that Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is an alternate take on the original anime, it makes sense to take stock of how far the connections go. Previous trailers and marketing showed things like the classic Zakus, the Gundam GQuuuuuuX holding a Heat Hawk, and someone with Zeon-styled rankings on his uniform, and with the appearance of Char, the rumors that Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX takes place in an alternate timeline where Char stole the Gundam and won Zeon the war appear to be true, as well.

That being said, it’s unknown how much further the connections will go. As soon as the rumors started taking off, people started theorizing a bevy of other possible connections, the most notable being that GQuuuuuuX’s protagonist Machu is a younger version of Haman Karn, the main antagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, but at the time of writing, there are no confirmed connections between Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX and the original anime beyond what’s been revealed in the marketing. That’s bound to change once the series properly premieres, but for now, any additional connections would only be theories, at best.

Does The True Nature Of GQuuuuuuX's Story Ruin The Anime?
Was This The Right Decision For GQuuuuuuX's Story?

With the true nature of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX confirmed, that, of course, begs the question of whether it’s the best idea. As iconic as the original Gundam anime is, with how old it is, there are probably many people who either have no knowledge of it or would prefer to see an original story after seeing the Universal Century get so much attention over the years. Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX being a spinoff of the original Gundam anime could potentially alienate old and new Gundam fans alike, and it’s hard to argue against that.

That being said, the series should still offer an engaging twist on everything they thought they knew about the Universal Century, and for new fans, considering the initial marketing and overall premise, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX should be structured in a way that will make it easy for new fans to follow the plot, even if they aren’t familiar with the original Gundam anime and the Universal Century, as a whole. Whatever the case, the new reveal of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX’s story makes it more exciting to watch than ever, and hopefully, the series won’t disappoint in the slightest.

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (Japanese: 機動戦士GUNDAMガンダム ジークアクス, Hepburn: Kidō Senshi Gandamu Jīkuakusu) is an upcoming Japanese anime television series jointly produced by Sunrise and Studio Khara. It is billed as the sixteenth installment of the Gundam franchise, the second television series to be aired during Japan's Reiwa era, and the second in a row (after The Witch from Mercury) to feature a female lead, albeit alongside a male and female co-lead. It will also be the first televised entry in the franchise since Mobile Suit Victory Gundam to take place during the Universal Century calendar, albeit in an alternate timeline.

The series is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and written by Yoji Enokido and Hideaki Anno, and features character designs by Take and mechanical designs by Ikuto Yamashita. It is planned for broadcast in the future and will be the first Gundam TV series to air on Nippon Television and other NNS stations in Japan, with a theatrical cut leveraging footage from the initial episodes that were released on January 17, 2025.[1]

Story
The series is set in an alternate timeline from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series' continuity. In this reality, Char Aznable stole the RX-78-2 Gundam developed by the Earth Federation and became its pilot instead of Amuro Ray. This event changed the outcome of the One Year War between the Federation and the Principality of Zeon, culminating with Zeon's victory.

Five years after the end of the war, Amate Yuzuriha, a high school student living a quiet life on a space colony, becomes embroiled in unexpected chaos after meeting Nyaan, a war refugee. This encounter draws her into the underground world of Clan Battle, an illegal and high-stakes mobile suit dueling sport. Under the alias "Machu," Amate pilots the powerful GQuuuuuuX, competing in relentless battles.

Her life takes a dramatic turn when she comes across the mysterious Red Gundam mobile suit, hunted by the space force and police. The Red Gundam's pilot, Shuji, a mysterious boy, carries the potential to bring profound change. Together, Amate, Nyaan, Shuji, and the enigmatic Gundam stand at the center of events that could redefine the future of their world.

Production
The series was first unveiled during the "Gundam Conference Winter 2024" livestream on December 4, 2024, revealing the series' official trailer. It marked the first Gundam production to be co-produced by Khara of the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy films,[2] and is largely creatively led by staff who once worked for Gainax on several anime such as Evangelion, FLCL, and Diebuster.[2]

Planning of the show began in 2018.[3] Khara had previously collaborated with Sunrise on in-between animation and other support, such as on the last episode of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.[3] As part of production, Director Tsurumaki was given freedom by Sunrise to offer up new approaches.[3]

The show is considered by Sunrise as "a representative work heading into the 45th and 50th anniversaries of Gundam," which prompted the release of a theatrical cut, titled Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-, to create a "festive element" around the Khara and Sunrise collaboration.[3]

Media
Anime
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX will begin airing in all NNS stations, including Nippon Television in Japan, with a theatrical release of a recut of different episodes from the TV series that was released by Bandai Namco Filmworks and Toho on January 17, 2025.[2] On the same day, it was announced GKIDS had picked up the North American distribution rights to the film and it will be released on February 28, 2025 in said region.[4]

Gundam (Japanese: ガンダムシリーズ, Hepburn: Gandamu Shirīzu, lit. Gundam Series) is a Japanese military science fiction media franchise. Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise (now Bandai Namco Filmworks), the franchise features giant robots, or mecha, with the name "Gundam". The franchise began on April 7, 1979, with Mobile Suit Gundam, a TV series that defined the "real robot" mecha anime genre by featuring giant robots called mobile suits (including the original titular mecha) in a militaristic setting. The popularity of the series and its merchandise spawned a franchise that includes 50 TV series, films and OVAs as well as manga, novels and video games, along with a whole industry of plastic model kits known as Gunpla which makes up 90 percent of the Japanese character plastic-model market.[1][2][3]

Academics in Japan have viewed the series as inspiration; in 2008, the virtual Gundam Academy was planned as the first academic institution based on an animated TV series.[4]

As of March 2020, the franchise is fully owned by Bandai Namco Holdings through subsidiaries Sotsu and Sunrise. The Gundam franchise had grossed over $5 billion in retail sales by 2000.[5][6][7] By 2022, the annual revenue of the Gundam franchise reached ¥101.7 billion per year,[8] ¥44.2 billion of which was retail sales of toys and hobby items.[8]

Overview
Concept

RX-78-2 Gundam by Hajime Katoki
Mobile Suit Gundam was developed by animator Yoshiyuki Tomino and a changing group of Sunrise creators with the collective pseudonym of Hajime Yatate. The series was originally entitled Freedom Fighter Gunboy (or Gunboy) for the robot's gun, with teen boys as the primary target demographic. Early production had a number of references to freedom: the White Base was originally "Freedom's Fortress", the Core Fighter was the "Freedom Wing" and the Gunperry was the "Freedom Cruiser". The Yatate team combined the English word "gun" with the last syllable of the word "freedom" to form the portmanteau Gundom. Tomino changed it to Gundam, suggesting a unit wielding a gun powerful enough to hold back enemies like a hydroelectric dam holding back water.[9] In keeping with the concept, Gundams are usually depicted as prototypes or limited-production, with higher capabilities than mass-produced units, which are often referred to simply as mobile suits.

Most Gundams are large, bipedal, humanoid vehicles controlled from a cockpit by a human pilot. The cockpit is located in the torso, while the head serves as a camera to transmit images back to the cockpit. Most of the series' protagonists are Newtypes, genetically advanced humans adapted for space. Newtypes have psychic abilities that enable them to sense each other across space and to utilize special mobile suits.

The series itself has been described as a space opera.[10]

Innovation
Mobile Suit Gundam reportedly pioneered the real robot subgenre of mecha anime.[11] In contrast to its super robot cousins, Mobile Suit Gundam attempted realism in its robot design and weaponry by running out of energy and ammunition or malfunctioning. Its technology is derived from actual science (such as Lagrange points and the O'Neill cylinder in space, and the use of helium-3 as an energy source) or feasible technology requiring only a few fictional elements to function (such as Minovsky Physics).[12]

Timelines
Most of the Gundam animation (including the earliest series) is set in what is known as the Universal Century (UC) calendar era, with later series set in alternate calendars or timelines. Although many new Gundam stories are told in their parallel universe with independent timelines (giving them greater creative freedom), the original UC storyline continues to be popular, with new installments frequently produced ever since. It established the series, setting the standard for hard science fiction in anime; the original Gundam marked the maturing of the giant-robot genre. Nostalgia for the oldest Gundam shows (and its status as a pop-culture icon in Japan) is a factor in its continuing success.[13]

Spinoffs
SD Gundam, a spinoff of Gundam which began during the mid-1980s, features super deformed designs and emphasizes comedy and adventure. Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, Gundam Build Fighters, and Gundam Build Divers feature contemporary settings and use Gunpla as plot elements.

Media
TV series, films, and video
Except for Mobile Suit Gundam 00, which follows the current calendar era, all Gundam series are set in a fictional era, with a new calendar adopted after a drastic event or chain of events and typically involve a major conflict involving Earth and space colonies (and in some cases the Moon and terraformed planets).[citation needed] An exception is the Gundam Build timeline, which is set in an alternate present time where all other Gundam installments are fictional.

Live-action film
At the 2018 Anime Expo, Legendary Pictures and Sunrise announced a collaboration to develop a live-action Gundam film.[21] Brian K. Vaughan was brought in to write and serve as an executive producer for the film.[22] In April 2021, it was reported that the project had landed at Netflix and that Jordan Vogt-Roberts had been hired to direct.[23] In October 2024, it was announced that Jim Mickle would be the new director and writer, and that Netflix is no longer involved.[24]

Manga and novels
Main article: List of Gundam manga and novels
Manga adaptations of the Gundam series have been published in English in North America by a number of companies, such as Viz Media, Del Rey Manga and Tokyopop, and in Singapore by Chuang Yi.

Video games
Main article: List of Gundam video games
Gundam has spawned over 80 video games for arcade, computer and console platforms, some with characters not found in other Gundam media. Some of the games, in turn, inspired spinoff novels and manga.[25]

Gunpla
Main article: Gunpla
Primarily made of plastic, but sometimes paired with resin and metal detail parts, hundreds of Gundam scale plastic models, aka Gunpla, have been released. They range in quality from toolless-build children's toy kits (Entry Grades) to hobbyist and museum-grade models, and most are in common scales such as 1:35, 1:48, 1:60, 1:100 or 1:144 scale. Various Grades exist to target hobbyists, ranging from smaller sized kits such as High Grade and Real Grade, to larger Master Grade and finally Perfect Grade model kits. The Real Grade (RG) Gundam series combined the Master Grade's detailed inner structure with additional colour separation, making the 1:144-scale series complex in design and compact in size, with the final goal of retooling a Gundam to what they might would look like in real life, similar to the real-life Gundam Front Tokyo RX-78-02.

Promotional 1:6 or 1:12 scale models are supplied to retailers and are not commercially available. For Gundam's 30th anniversary, a full-size RX-78-2 Gundam model was constructed and displayed at Gundam Front Tokyo, in the Odaiba district;[26] it was taken down on March 5, 2017.[27] A new statue of the Unicorn Gundam was erected at the same location, now renamed The Gundam Base Tokyo.

Other merchandise
Bandai, Gundam's primary licensee, produces a variety of products.[28] Other companies produce unofficial merchandise, such as toys, models and T-shirts. Products include Mobile Suit In Action (MSiA) action figures and Gundam model kits in several scales and design complexities. Each series generally has its own set of products, MSiA and model lines such as Master Grade and High Grade Universal Century may extend across series. The most popular action-figure line has been the Gundam Fix series, which includes the mecha in the animated series, manga and novels and accessories to create an updated version. In addition to Master Grade and High Grade Gundams, Bandai released a 30th-anniversary series of Gundam models in 2010.[29] After the introduction of the RG Gunpla line, Bandai released the Metal Build series in March 2011 (beginning with the 00 Gundam).[30]

Bandai maintains several websites to promote Gundam projects; Gundam Perfect Web is the official Japanese site. Its English-language counterpart is the US-maintained Gundam Official. In 2005, the website hosted the Gundam Official User Forum. The forum was based on the existing fan forum, Gundam Watch, using many of its staff. When the project was retired, Gundam Watch was reborn and became Gundam Evolution.

A number of series-specific websites have been created, often available for a limited time (usually to promote a DVD release). Common content includes character and mecha listings, lists of related merchandise and pay-for-download content. Special pages are frequent, often presenting downloadable wallpaper or a small game. The Superior Defender Gundam Force website has a game in which players take the role of villain Commander Sazabi, attempting to blast his subordinate with weapons.

Story
Taking place during the late stages of the One Year War, it follows Iria Solari, a Principality of Zeon pilot and leader of the "Red Wolves" mobile suit team, who is tasked with defending the European front against the Earth Federation Forces' efforts on reclaiming the area.

Characters
Captain Iria Solari, Red Wolf Squadron, 1st Mobile Suit Company, 7th Battalion

Her husband Daltun was killed in an air raid several months before the events of the series and she has a young son back in space. Her only memento of her husband is an engraved pocket watch containing a picture of her family, which she hangs on her mobile suit's console before each sortie. She displays developing Newtype abilities, which grant her heightened spatial awareness bordering on precognition. She dismisses this as just instincts honed from military experience. Iria pilots an MS-06F Zaku II F-Type with unique twin commander horns and an all-red paint job. After her original Zaku is destroyed by the Gundam EX, Alfee Zydos's team builds the MS-06Rb-a Zaku II (Unidentified Type) out of scrap parts.

Episodes
No. Title Original release date
1 "Haunted Forest"
October 17, 2024
In the year 0079, a Zeon force moves in to attack an Earth Federation base in Romania, but are ambushed by Federation forces. The elite Red Wolf Zaku unit led by Captain Iria Solari deploys and helps turn the tide of the battle, but when they arrive at the base, they find it completely abandoned. That night, Iria apparently has a premonition of danger just as the Federation stages a surprise attack on the base. A Federation Gundam EX mobile suit then appears and easily destroys the Zeon forces, including the Red Wolves.
2 "Broken"
October 17, 2024
Iria is barely able to escape her wrecked Zaku and rescues one of her squadmates, Kneeland LeSean. She manages to regroup with other Zeon survivors led by Second Lieutenant Hayley Arhun. She orders Hayley to evacuate her men while she and LeSean commandeer abandoned Zaku Tanks. Second Lieutenant Ander Heaton volunteers to drive a fuel truck into position to act as a signal for the evacuation. Iria is able to detonate the fuel truck to temporarily slow down the Gundam and allow Hayley's unit to escape. However, the Gundam EX continues to pursue the convoy into the countryside before being ambushed by a pair of Goufs. Though the Gundam EX easily destroys the Goufs, it inexplicably decides to let the convoy escape.
3 "Junkyard"
October 17, 2024
The convoy arrives at Brigade HQ, but are dismayed to find it has already been destroyed by the Federation. After recovering survivors, they head to a nearby junkyard which is still occupied by Zeon forces and commanded by Major Rolph Ronet and an old friend of Iria's, Captain Alfee Zydos. Alfee confides to the soldiers that Iria's husband Daltum was killed in a Federation airstrike months ago, leaving just her son as her remaining family. Iria then receives another premonition, and spots the Gundam attacking a nearby base. Iria convinces Alfee and the junkyard mechanics to rebuild two Zakus from salvaged parts. Rolf attempts to put a stop to the construction right when the Federation attacks the junkyard, and allows Iria and LeSean to mobilize. Upon boarding their Zakus, they see the Gundam EX and a GM mobile suit approaching.
4 "Night Caller"
October 17, 2024
The mobile suits on both sides engage in a fierce battle, with all of the suits suffering severe damage. Eventually, the GM attempts to withdraw and LeSean disobeys orders and pursues it into the forest. Both Iria and LeSean manage to corner the crippled GM while the Gundam EX attempts to protect it, but upon seeing the GM pilot attempting to bail out, Iria orders LeSean to hold fire. The Gundam EX then recovers the GM pilot before retreating. Rolf is shaken by the fact the attack cost so many lives, but Alfee reminds him he has a duty to protect his remaining men. Hayley is distraught to learn her unit was wiped out. Rolf then attempts to arrest Iria and LeSean before being interrupted by the arrival of Major General Kellerne. Kellerne briefs Iria, explaining the war is turning against Zeon due to the mass production of GMs, and he orders Iria to steal one so that it can be studied for weaknesses.
5 "The River"
October 17, 2024
Iria, Alfee, Hayley, and Ander disguise themselves as Federations soldiers and steal a Federation transport, but are forced to ditch it and travel on foot after being ambushed by a pair of Midnight Goufs. On the way to the Federation base, Alfee muses that Iria may be a Newtype, an evolved human being due to her premonitions. They manage to infiltrate the base, and Iria comes across a boy genius she has an odd feeling about. Despite their cover being blown, Iria and Alfee are each able to hijack a GM, but the Gundam EX then appears and disables Alfee's GM. Iria realizes the Gundam EX is being piloted by the boy she met earlier. The Gundam EX disables Iria's GM, and LeSean arrives in his Zaku and sacrifices himself to give Iria and her team the opportunity to escape.
6 "Convoy to Oblivion"
October 17, 2024
Iria wakes up to find herself in an evacuation convoy heading for Odessa Spaceport to escape back to space, but the city is already under attack by the Federation. She is left shaken at the fact that her entire unit is dead, and that the Gundam EX's pilot is a young, scared boy not much older than her son. With Federation forces already in the city, Iria volunteers to pilot her Zaku to help defend the convoy despite her injuries. As Iria and the Zeon forces mount a fierce defense, the Gundam EX finally arrives on the field. Iria manages to buy enough time for the HLV-8 carrying her friends to launch and reach space safely, and she asks the Gundam EX pilot to cease hostilities and allow Zeon to retreat since they have lost. The Gundam EX pilot knocks Iria in her Zaku out of the falling HLV-9 upon finding out Iria is a mother, only to be killed by another Midnight mobile suit, to Iria's horror. After the battle, Iria notes that the new Federation mobile suits have turned the tide of the war against Zeon, and she has joined a Zeon remnant force in Africa and continues to fight in hopes of ending all wars that would force children to fight.
