I’ve been keeping an eye on the buzz, and it’s clear that “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-” is making waves in Japan. The film dominated the box office during its debut weekend and maintained its reign during the second week. This movie is a collection of the first three episodes from the upcoming “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” anime series, jointly produced by Studio Sunrise and Studio Khara.
To top it off, the film’s main theme song, “Plazma,” has broken another record on Oricon with more than 43,000 downloads in its inaugural week. Kenshi Yonezu, a renowned vocalist known for his work in numerous anime soundtracks, lent his voice to “Plazma” for “Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-.
Plazma” is now Yonezu’s 17th No. 1 on the Oricon rankings, surpassing his previous record for the most number one digital singles ever. Some of his other popular songs include “Kick Back” from Chainsaw Man, “Peace Sign” from My Hero Academia Season 2, “Tsuki wo miteita – Moongazing” from Final Fantasy XVI, and “Spinning Globe” from the Oscar-winning film The Boy and the Heron. Gundam enthusiasts got a first glimpse of “Plazma” in the trailer for Gundam GQuuuuuuX following the release of -Beginning-. Yonezu has also unveiled the cover art for the single, which showcases characters Amate and Shuji.
Gundam Continues its Hot Streak
Gundam has consistently been a massive force, particularly in Asia’s eastern region, but it’s been experiencing a surge with its latest significant releases. The latest installment in the series, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, turned out to be one of the most well-received shows in years for the franchise, causing an increase in Gunpla sales for 2022-2023. In 2024, Gundam Seed Freedom, a theatrical sequel to both Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny, was released and became the highest-grossing film in the franchise’s history.
The movie “Seed Freedom” garnered more than 17 million dollars at the box office, whereas “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-” has so far made nine million. Although there’s still some ground to cover for “Gundam GQuuuuuuX”, foreign markets could potentially help it reach a total similar to that of “Seed Freedom”. The compilation film of “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” is set to premiere in North American theaters on February 28th, courtesy of GKIDS Films. Previously, other Gundam projects have graced U.S. theaters, including “Seed Freedom” and the original ’80s compilation films of the original “Mobile Suit Gundam”.
