“The Boldest Gundam Story Yet? GQuuuuuuX: Beginning is a Game-Changer!”

The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise has always been a battlefield of ideas, timelines, and mecha mayhem. Now, with the release of Gundam GQuuuuuuX: Beginning, the series takes a daring leap into alternate history, remixing classic Universal Century (UC) lore with a fresh twist. For longtime fans, it’s an exhilarating “what if” scenario—while for newcomers, it’s a visually stunning, action-packed introduction to the world of Gundam.

A Game-Changing Alternate Timeline

Gundam GQuuuuuuX throws the franchise’s history into chaos by posing a simple yet fascinating question: What if Char Aznable had won the One Year War?

The film’s prologue sets the stage for an electrifying divergence. Instead of the classic timeline, Char steals the Gundam, leaving protagonist Amuro Ray mysteriously absent. This single act shifts the fate of the Earth Federation and Zeon, leading to a fast-forwarded version of the war where Zeon steamrolls its way to victory. Just when things seem settled, Char disappears, cutting off his long-standing revenge mission against the Zabi family. The consequences of this alternate history spiral out in unpredictable ways.

For dedicated Gundam fans, it’s a treasure trove of references and Easter eggs. From Sayla Mass confronting her own brother to the iconic White Base getting hijacked, the film revels in bending established canon while staying true to the heart of the series.

The Dream Team Behind the Scenes

A powerhouse of anime talent is responsible for this ambitious retelling. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (FLCL, Rebuild of Evangelion), written by Yoji Enokido (Revolutionary Girl Utena), and with script contributions from none other than Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Gundam GQuuuuuuX blends classic mecha storytelling with the surreal energy of modern anime. The collaboration between Sunrise and Khara studios ensures both legacy and innovation shine through every frame.

New Faces, Same Gundam Heart

While the film pays homage to its UC roots, it also introduces an entirely new cast of characters, injecting fresh energy into the narrative. The story shifts five years into the future, focusing on Amate “Machu” Yuzuriha, a high schooler living in the neutral Side 6 colony. She crosses paths with Nyaan, a refugee-turned-courier, and Shuji, the enigmatic pilot of the Red Gundam.

Their adventures pull them into the underground world of Clan Battle, a secretive mecha-fighting ring reminiscent of The Witch from Mercury’s honor duels. The dynamic between these new leads is fun, fast-paced, and filled with intrigue, making the film engaging even for those unfamiliar with deep Gundam lore.

A Stunning Visual and Musical Experience

Visually, GQuuuuuuX: Beginning takes inspiration from both the past and present. The opening sequence mimics the original 1979 show, complete with groovy narration and retro designs. But once the film transitions into its main story, the art style shifts dramatically—bold neon colors, expressive character designs, and fluid, high-energy battles dominate the screen.

The mechanical designs by Ikuto Yamashita (Evangelion, Metaphor: ReFantazio) offer a fresh take on iconic mechs, blending old-school ruggedness with a modern aesthetic. The score transitions from classic Gundam orchestrations to atmospheric electro beats, mirroring the tonal shift between timelines.

More Than Just Fan Service

Despite its deep connections to existing Gundam lore, GQuuuuuuX isn’t just for veterans. While longtime fans will relish the twists on familiar faces and events, the film also explores thought-provoking themes of war’s lingering effects, political power shifts, and the morality of conflict. Even viewers unfamiliar with UC history can appreciate the thrilling action, stunning visuals, and high-stakes storytelling.

One of the most striking moments comes when black-painted police Zakus storm through Side 6, tearing apart civilian structures in their hunt for a fugitive. This imagery—military mechs repurposed for oppressive control—echoes real-world anxieties about the aftershocks of war and the unchecked power of authoritarian forces.

The Future of GQuuuuuuX and Gundam

With GQuuuuuuX: Beginning acting as an introduction, fans are eager to see how this alternate Universal Century will unfold when the full anime season launches in April. Will Char return? Will Amuro make an appearance? How will the underground mech fights tie into the larger political landscape?

Whether you’re a die-hard Gundam historian or just looking for an explosive sci-fi anime, GQuuuuuuX is an exciting new frontier for the franchise—a love letter to its past, and a bold leap into the future.
