The ‘Gundam Figure Exhibition' In Tokyo Displays Decades Of Excellence
One of the big tentpole franchises for Bandai Spirits is definitely Gundam, and its latest exhibition at the Tamashii Nations Store in Tokyo goes all out.
From the long line of Robot Damashii figures to the high-end Metal Build toys, a lot was covered.
For the most part, the exhibition is about showing what Bandai Spirits has done to date with the various Gundam properties they look after, and the results are suitably comprehensive.
What with GQuuuuuuX being the latest Gundam work, there were a lot of new items on show, from the various Metal Robot Damashii toys of the new Gundam designs by Ikuto Yamashita to the cutesy Figuarts Mini of the characters. Amate Yuzuriha even got her own larger-than-life statue (shown below).

What was interesting was seeing all the chogokin releases for the various life-size Gundams, from the Walking Gundam to the Freedom Gundam and Nu Gundam. Even the upcoming Osaka Expo Gundam is getting its own chogokin and Robot Damashii figures.
Apart from that, the Metal Build Zeta Gundam still looks amazing, and the Metal Build God Gundam also made another appearance, although I will be covering that particular release separately.
It was also nice to see the Metal Robot Damashii G-Self Perfect Pack up close. It's very faithful to the design from the anime, and while the anime itself was mostly incomprehensible it did have some very lovely designwork.
With the Gundam Figure Exhibition opening today in Tokyo and closing in early September, entry is free, and there are a fair few store-exclusive items worth a look if you're in the neighborhood. In the meantime, feel free to check out the gallery below.

‘Samurai Troopers' Is Back With A New ‘Demon Slayer' Infused Anime
'Samurai Troopers' is getting a new and quite shiny anime. The 80s anime classic Samurai Troopers, known internationally as Ronin Warriors, is getting a new anime, and it looks great. The original show's premise dealt with a demonic invasion being thwarted by plucky heroes in mystical samurai armor, which worked sort of like power armor. The mecha linkage wasn't an arbitrary one either, as mecha anime veteran Ryosuke Takahashi handled the series' composition. As for this new series, it seems to follow on from the original and takes a decidedly Demon Slayer-esque approach to the animation. The whole demon element to the story also lends itself well to leaning on Demon Slayer's mindshare, especially as Samurai Warriors would have acted as an inspiration for that series anyway. The other aspect to all this is that, back in the day, the original Samurai Troopers received all manner of amazing toys. Even recently, the series has had some more modern toy releases courtesy of Bandai Spirits. So it does make sense to create a new Samurai Troopers anime from the toy standpoint alone, and it seems Bandai Spirits is already involved in coming up with toys for this new show. In any case, a new Samurai Troopers anime is entirely welcome, and if you're curious about the original anime, you can pick up the Blu-ray via Crunchyroll's online store.

Congrats ‘GQuuuuuuX,' You Just Got Your First Big ‘Gundam' War Crime
Gundam loves itself a war crime. That is partially the point of it all—it is a series built on acknowledging the horrors of catastrophic, large scale conflict, the cycle of war and the potential for what humanity's future could look like as it yearns to reach out and better understand its place among the stars beyond that cycle. But it also just means that, as an almost inevitability at some point, a Gundam series in need of a dramatic stake finds itself in need of a very big war crime. And this week GQuuuuuuX allowed itself that moment… and of course, did so through an echoing from the first Gundam's past. There are, in fact, several war crimes going on in Gundam GQuuuuuuX's 10th episode—even putting aside the deployment of child soldiers as standard, as both Challia Bull and Kycilia Zabi shape Machu and Nyaan respectively into the weapons of their ideological intents—but of course the biggest is the deployment of the Solar Ray. Introduced simmering in the background like a perpetual Chekov's Giant Orbital Laser Cannon the past few episodes, GQuuuuuuX's imagining of the Solar Ray in its remixing of the Universal Century has been as a climate project, a way to help rejuvenate Earth's damaged ecosystem in the wake of the environmental damage brought about by nuclear winter. Of course, anyone who's watched the first Gundam knows that you don't put the name 'Solar Ray' on something that is in fact for the betterment of humanity: in the 1979 show, the Solar Ray is one of Gihren Zabi's most heinous ideas of the series, a space colony where its inhabitants have been violently resettled from so it can be carved out into what is essentially a giant gun barrel. At the dramatic climax of the show's final few episodes, the audience and our heroes are like witness its horrifying activation—the 'light of hatred,' as an almost-delirious Amuro Ray puts it—as it disintegrates a huge chunk of the Earth Federation's fleet and its top commanders, the Federation's own weapon of mass destruction, the similarly named 'Solar System,' as well as Gihren's father and the supreme leader of Zeon, Degwin Zabi, who was meeting with the Federation to attempt to bring an end to the One Year War peacefully. The Solar Ray of GQuuuuuuX has its own similar intent. It's a giant WMD, this time wielded by Kycilia rather than Gihren after she successfully poisons him, and we get to watch as it beam-slash-black-holes most of Gihren's forces as well as Zeon's giant battle station, A Boa Qu. What's interesting about GQuuuuuuX's Solar Ray, however, is that it has a different, but mirrored, thematic heart. If the Solar Ray of the 1979 show was a hollowed-out Colony, a symbol of humanity's ascent from the cradle of Earth and into a life in space now turned into a weapon of terrible and awesome power, GQuuuuuuX's Solar Ray speaks to another broad idea at the crux of Gundam storytelling in the Universal Century continuity that many of its series belong to—the weaponization and exploitation of the Newtype, humanity's evolutionary step, to usher in a new age of violence over that of a new age of peace. Powered by Nyaan and her own mobile suit, the GFReD, at the behest of Kycilia, as well as the recovered 'Rose of Sharon' and its mysterious alternate Lalah Sune, GQuuuuuuX's Solar Ray is less of a giant laser beam, but a weaponized blast of Newtype power. It operates on creating a 'Zeknova'—the same psionic, temporal anomaly that mysteriously vanished Char Aznable and the Gundam at the climax of the war, the same energy field that Newtypes see visions of worlds and times and possibilities beyond normal human comprehension. UC Gundam stories have rarely been subtle about taking the advent of Newtypism and turning it into the latest extension of armed conflict, but in GQuuuuuuX it's about as literal as it can be: the most prominent and most advanced of Newtypes in Lalah being used, against her will, as a battery for mass destruction. That the next generation of humankind must be wielded like a cudgel to maintain the bitter conflicts and hegemonies of those the generations before them. Of the show's many mirrors to the original Gundam, it's one of GQuuuuuuX's most potent and interesting so far, in terms of the scope of its destructive power, and the distinct unsubtlety of its commentary. GQuuuuuuX has already played a lot with the idea of what it means to be a Gundam series, and more specifically a Universal Century Gundam series. For all the potential answers it has fielded, sometimes the most valid one is to have a really big laser gun doing war crimes while you practically scream its symbolism at the audience.

‘GQuuuuuuX' Is Taking Its ‘Gundam' Remix to a Whole Other Level
Last week, I said that Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX's remixing of the original Gundam continuity was letting several of the original series' biggest characters haunt the narrative, from the absent Amuro Ray, to the slightly less absent Char Aznable, and then the one figure who's really been skirting around the edges of GQuuuuuuX's periphery in earnest, the mysterious Lalah Sune. This week, Lalah stopped skirting… and then some. To the surprise of no one after last week's setup, episode nine of GQuuuuuuX, 'The Rose of Sharon,' is indeed for the most part about Lalah Sune making her way into the series' narrative, as Machu manages to escape confinement with the GQuuuuuuX and head to Earth, where she finds Lalah forced to work at a lavish brothel. But while this Lalah is indeed a Newtype—regaling staff and Machu alike of the visions she sees in her dreams—she is not the Rose of Sharon that Machu was seeking in her hopes to be reunited with Shuji. Instead, this Lalah is almost haunted by what has come to pass, her Newtypism not really granting her a vision of the future, but what was, as GQuuuuuuX offers yet another spin on a classic scene from the 1979 anime. Floating in the cosmic glow that represents the connection forged between Newtypes, Lalah flatly explains that the future she sees is her own: the future of another Lalah, a young woman who meets a young Zeon officer in red who whisks her to the stars… a Lalah who falls in love with that man, and also his rival, as she dies in battle saving the former from the latter. What the Lalah of GQuuuuuuX sees beyond time, as she says to Machu, is the original story of Mobile Suit Gundam. The implication then that GQuuuuuuX's remixed timeline of the Universal Century co-exists alongside Gundam's original one, in some capacity, already raises a bunch of fascinating questions, but things only get more interesting in the episode's climactic moments, when we and Machu alike discover that the Lalah was right when she told them that she is not the rose neither she, nor Shuji, nor everyone else has been looking for after it went missing… Because another Lalah Sune is. The Lalah Sune, if you will. Hidden for years at the bottom of the ocean until Machu and the GQuuuuuuX find it, Lalah's mobile armor the Elmeth, locked in time from the moment of her death in the 1979 anime, has some how become an almighty object of vast psionic power, a Newtype beacon that has transitioned across this divergent timeline, calling out to the generation of Newtypes that forged it in the first place in characters like Char and Lalah, but also the generation that has grown beyond them in this new timeline, like Machu, Nyaan, and Shuji. Of course, Gundam is no stranger to the alternate reality trend that has become du jour in contemporary pop culture. It's been on it for decades at this point, when Mobile Fighter G Gundam created the first alternate Gundam universe to exist on TV outside of the stories that had been told in the Universal Century setting. Ever since we've had a bunch of other alternate realities to provide the setting to new Gundam series, we've had realities that, like GQuuuuuuX, has mirrored and riffed on the Universal Century stories to create their own echoes of its ideas. Hell, Turn A Gundam presented a vision where its setting was a far-flung future after a 'Dark History' that eradicated humanity back to a technological reset—one that touched upon every corner of Gundam continuity up to that point in some way, a comment on the cyclical nature of historical trends, while also symbolically honoring the entire metatext of the franchise up to that point, regardless of continuity. Suffice to say, the coexistence of a GQuuuuuuX timeline, with all its changes, and that potential of the original timeline alongside it, is not exactly unfamiliar territory that Gundam is wading into as it explores all this. With GQuuuuuuX having just a few more episodes to lay out what exactly it wants to say in all this remixing and meta-commentary, time will tell if all these self-referential reveals will result in the series creating something additive to that vast canon—or if its wild evocations are simply designed to spin the heads of diehard fans.
