Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Created through a powerful collaboration between the celebrated Studio Color, known for the
Evangelion series, and Sunrise, the powerhouse behind previous Gundam projects, the series has captured the imaginations of fans globally.
Set to release its first volume on January 28, 2026,
Gundam GQuuuuuuX will be available in several formats: a special edition Blu-ray priced at 19,800 yen (tax included), a DVD at 6,600 yen (tax included), and a disc-less package priced at 8,800 yen (tax included). Following this initial launch, two additional volumes are scheduled for release each month.
What to Expect in the First Volume
This first volume of
Gundam GQuuuuuuX encompasses episodes one through four of the series, totaling 98 minutes of main content alongside 156 minutes of special features. Fans can anticipate a treasure trove of extras, including:
- - An exclusive drama CD featuring a side story titled Shuji’s Drawing.

- - A 20-page booklet filled with behind-the-scenes insights.
The special edition Blu-ray also includes a bonus disc packed with a non-credit opening and ending, a TV series promotion reel, a collection of commercials, and insightful cast talk segments covering the mentioned episodes.

The Innovation of the Disc-less Package
For those looking for a modern twist, this series also introduces a unique disc-less package. Instead of physical discs, buyers will receive a code for streaming the main and bonus content digitally. This means fans can watch the series on their devices via a temporary access code, keeping the thrill of
Gundam GQuuuuuuX at their fingertips. The inclusion of the same booklet and storyboard collection adds traditional value to this innovative offer.
A Fresh Narrative to Explore
Gundam GQuuuuuuX promises to deliver a rich storytelling experience. The story centers around high school girl Amate Yuzuriha, who lives comfortably within a space colony. However, her life takes a turn when she encounters a war refugee, Nyann, drawing her into an underground Mobile Suit battle competition called the Clan Battle. Under the moniker
Machu, Amate pilots the formidable
GQuuuuuuX, navigating through the intense battles and face-offs with the mysterious Mobile Suit Gundam and its pilot, Shuji. As these characters intertwine, a new era for their world unfolds, poised with suspense and excitement.
Star-Studded Contributions
With Kazuyoshi Tsurumaki, who directed the
Rebuild of Evangelion, leading the charge, and a stellar team that includes
Hiroshi Enokido as series composition and
Ikuto Yamashita for mechanical design, expectations for animation quality and storytelling depth are high. Add to that, the theme song by renowned artist
Kenshi Yonezu, and you have a potent mix to keep fans entertained. Notable other contributors include
Suisui Hoshimachi, who provides the ending theme, and
NOMELON NOLEMON with an insert song to round out the soundtrack.
