A Powerhouse Creative Collaboration Brings Back Gundam

An Alternate Timeline and a New Hero for the New Gundam Anime

Part of the excitement surrounding Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX comes from its powerhouse creative team. Co-written by FLCL’s Kazuya Tsurumaki, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX marks a groundbreaking collaboration between Studio Khara and Sunrise—the home of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise since 1979. So far, fans who have seen the film have applauded Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX for infusing the series with fresh energy while remaining true to its core themes of war, identity, and survival.

Set in an alternate Mobile Suit Gundam timeline, the story follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school student living in a space colony whose quiet life is upended upon meeting Nyaan, a war refugee involved in underground mobile suit dueling. Drawn into the perilous world of Clan Battle, Amate adopts the alias "Machu" and takes command of the formidable Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. As tensions escalate, a mysterious Gundam emerges—piloted by Shuji and relentlessly pursued by authorities—setting the stage for an encounter that will change everything.
