Story of GQuuuuuuX
Set in U.C. 0085, five years after the end of the One Year War, GQuuuuuuX follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school student living a quiet life in the Izuma Colony on Side 6. Her ordinary world is upended when she meets Nyaan, a mysterious girl working as a “courier” tasked with transporting a device critical to mobile suit combat. Following Nyaan to a junk shop named Kaneban, Amate is shocked to encounter a towering Zaku—and the sudden arrival of two more mobile suits.
One of the suits is a striking red Gundam, while the other is the GQuuuuuuX, an advanced mobile suit developed by the Principality of Zeon. Sent by Zeon officer Challia Bull, the GQuuuuuuX’s pilot, Xavier, attempts to reclaim the red Gundam, a legendary machine that has been missing for years. However, his mission falters as the advanced Omega Psycommu system fails to activate, and local military police intervene.
Amate’s life takes a dramatic turn when she witnesses the military police Zaku recklessly damaging the colony’s refugee zone. Enraged, she impulsively commandeers Kaneban’s Zaku and later discovers the abandoned GQuuuuuuX deep within the colony's bulkhead mine. Despite her inexperience, Amate powers up the GQuuuuuuX and boldly takes on the military police Zaku in open space.
In the midst of battle, Amate experiences a mysterious phenomenon she calls the “sparkle,” awakening abilities she never knew she possessed. With these newfound powers, she overcomes the military police Zaku, marking the beginning of her extraordinary journey in a story filled with conflict, discovery, and the enduring legacy of mobile suits.
This meticulously designed knitted hat is more than just a piece of merchandise—it’s a connection to Amate’s captivating journey and a must-have for fans of the Universal Century saga. Don’t miss your chance to own this piece of Gundam history!
