Synopsis

In the serene confines of a space colony orbiting the stars, high school student Amate Yuzuriha lives a peaceful life—until fate intervenes. Her chance encounter with Nyaan, a war refugee seeking solace, drags her into the dangerous and secretive world of Clan Battle, an illegal underground sport where pilots clash in high-stakes mobile suit duels.

To shield her identity in this perilous arena, Amate adopts the alias "Machu." Piloting the cutting-edge GQuuuuuuX, she fights day after day, her battles becoming both her survival and her struggle for purpose. Yet, her world shifts once more when she stumbles upon a mysterious, unidentified Gundam mobile suit. Hunted relentlessly by the space force and police, the Gundam’s enigmatic pilot, Shuji, reveals himself to Amate, carrying with him the weight of a hidden destiny.

As their paths entwine, Amate, Shuji, and the extraordinary Gundam find themselves at the heart of a transformative journey. Together, they face a world teetering on the brink of change, where their choices and alliances could shape the future of humanity.

With just 15 days left until its theatrical release, anticipation is soaring. For longtime Gundam fans, Evangelion enthusiasts, and newcomers, Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- is shaping up to be an electrifying entry in the franchise. Don’t miss your chance to witness the genesis of this groundbreaking Gundam story on the big screen.
