The latest chapter of the Gundam universe’s newest multiverse saga, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, continues to surprise and delight fans. Episode 9 dropped today, deepening its Cold War–inspired alternate-history narrative, while Bandai has unveiled new Gunpla model kits, and the theatrical prologue is returning to theatres this month. Here’s everything you need to know.

Episode 9 Highlights

In Episode 9, GQuuuuuuX expands its intricate multiverse plot with the reappearance of classic characters and brand-new faces. Lalah Sune returns under mysterious circumstances, and a figure called the Rose of Sharon emerges, hinting at time‑spanning connections between the Universal Century timelines. Under director Kazuya Tsurumaki’s vision, the episode balances tense political intrigue with high-octane mobile suit combat, all scored to evoke a Cold War atmosphere distinct from earlier Gundam entries.
