A red Gundam appears in the latest installment of the popular anime series "Gundam", "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuX". It is a Gundam modified by the Principality of Zeon and repainted in Char Aznable's personal color red. When it was revealed that a red Gundam would be appearing in the series, it sparked a buzz among fans on social media, with some asking, "Is that Casval's personal Gundam?" What is Casval's personal Gundam?
◇ Casval's personal machine that appears in "Ghihren's Ambition"
Casval's Gundam is a machine that appears in the "Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren's Ambition" game series. To give a rough explanation of the game, it is set in the world of "Mobile Suit Gundam" and players command the army as either Gihren Zabi, commander of the Principality of Zeon, or General Revil of the Earth Federation. Depending on the progress of the game and the player's choices, an "if" story different from "Mobile Suit Gundam" will unfold.
The story also features Char Aznable, the "Red Comet" of the Principality of Zeon, rebelling against Ghiren, revealing himself to be Casval Rem Deikun, the legitimate son of Zeon Zum Deikun, and rising up as the leader of Neo Zeon...and features Casval's custom Gundam. Casval's custom Gundam is an MS (Mobile Suit) that was uniquely updated after Zeon engineers analyzed the technology of the Federation military, and is characterized by its red coloring.
Although it looks like a red Gundam, and follows the basic design of the Gundam, it has superior performance to the Gundam due to the fusion of Federation and Zeon technology. It is equipped with a Newtype compatible device, a unique Zeon technology, and its reaction speed also exceeds that of the Gundam.
◇There's also the “phantom” red Gundam!
Many fans seem to find the idea of what if Char piloted a Gundam romantic, and Casval's Gundam has become a popular machine. Although it does not appear in the anime, it has been made into three-dimensional models such as Gunpla (plastic models) and figures, and appears in games other than the "Ghihren's Ambition" series.
Besides Casval's Gundam, there is also Char's "phantom" red Gundam. The Gundam Mk-III Unit 8, which appears in the mechanical design project "Anaheim Laboratory Log," is an MS that was developed for Quattro Bajeena. There is also the Delta Gundam Unit 2, which appears in "Competition of NEW GUNDAM -RED or WHITE-," a new MS presentation video from Anaheim Electronics, and all of these are popular units that have been made into three-dimensional models.
There seem to be many red Gundams, and the world of the Gundam series is deep.
