Storyline
Zeon and the Earth Federation are locked in a brutal war, and Char Aznable, that infamous red comet himself, isn’t just sitting back. He storms into Side 7, stumbles onto the RX-78-2 Gundam—just lying around, can you believe it?—and decides to swipe it. That little stunt ends up flipping the whole world on its head. Fast-forward five years. Over on Side 6, which just wants to stay outta everyone’s business, there’s this Newtype girl who gets tangled up in the mess when the hunt for the missing Gundam drags her in. Before you know it, she’s piloting the latest prototype, the GQuuuuuuX (try saying that five times fast), and fighting in these underground mobile suit brawls. She’s got these wild powers she barely understands, a bunch of new friends who are just as lost as she is, and a head full of dreams about breaking free and soaring where nobody can hold her down. War, politics, giant robots—yeah, it’s all in there.
