Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX: New Promo Reveals Surprising Return of Char Aznable

by admin

Sunrise Studio has unveiled a new promotional video for the highly anticipated Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, showcasing exclusive footage from the -Beginning- movie. This compilation film covers the first three episodes of the series, acting as a promotional event ahead of the main anime’s premiere. While no official release date has been set for Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, fans are hopeful for a launch in the first half of 2025. The new promo offers significant insights into the upcoming series, including redesigned mechas and the unexpected return of an iconic character from the original Gundam universe.

The -Beginning- film has already debuted in Japan, with a North American release scheduled for February 28. Spoilers have begun circulating online, revealing the return of a major character from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. The promo concludes with the dramatic reappearance of Char Aznable, also known as the “Red Comet,” who served as the archrival to Amuro Ray in the classic Gundam saga. Though fans had speculated about Char’s return, the -Beginning- film and promo video confirm that the character will play a key role in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Notably, while other classic mecha and characters are redesigned by Studio Khara, Char’s appearance remains unchanged from his look in Gundam Origins, which was inspired by the original series.

Char Aznable’s Return: What Does it Mean for the New Anime?

Char Aznable, the son of a prominent peace advocate from the space colonies, is known for his quest for vengeance against the Zabi family, responsible for the assassination of his father. After adopting an alternate identity, Char infiltrates the Zeon Republic and becomes a skilled mecha pilot, ultimately seeking to destroy the Zabi family.

In Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the timeline diverges from the original series with the absence of Amuro Ray, the Earth Federation soldier and main protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam. Unlike in the original series, where Amuro battles Char in the high-tech Gundam, GQuuuuuuX introduces a world where Amuro does not pilot the Gundam. This allows Char to seize control of the Gundam, which he then repaints in his signature red color, renaming it the “Red Gundam.” Char’s goal, however, remains the same: to eliminate the Zabi family.

The Significance of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX for the Future of the Franchise

While the original Mobile Suit Gundam series and its subsequent films were set in a unified timeline known as the Universal Century, later Gundam series have explored distinct universes, each with its own timeline. Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX marks a significant departure, as it takes place in an alternate version of the Universal Century timeline, blending elements from the established canon with new narrative twists. The series is not a standalone universe but rather a high-concept alternate reality within the Gundam mythology.

Fans have long speculated that all the main Gundam shows exist within a shared universe, albeit at different points in time. If Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is indeed an alternate take on the Universal Century, it may not fit directly into the continuity of other Gundam series. However, with the creators of Evangelion behind GQuuuuuuX, it’s possible that the series will introduce a complex narrative framework that bridges it with the broader Gundam universe.

As the excitement builds for Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, fans eagerly await the full series and the potential implications for the future of the Gundam franchise.
