A newly released character design from Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX has fans buzzing. In Episode 9, protagonist Machyu (real name Amate Yuzuriha) appears in a form-fitting tracksuit loaned by Lieutenant Komori, a standout moment that lit up social media.

The scene unfolds after Machyu is captured by Zeon forces. Komori arrives with a change of clothes, bluntly telling her, “Deal with the size. It’s mine. Be grateful.” She follows up with harsh yet oddly sympathetic lines: “Why not call your mom? I couldn’t do it after all this trouble,” hinting at Machyu’s dangerous choices in the underground Clan Battle circuit.

Online reactions to the visual were immediate:
“That outfit’s TINY!”
“The sleeves fit, but the torso’s way too short!”
“So Komori is into mini skirts, huh?”
“That jacket is seriously tight.”

About Gundam GQuuuuuuX

Set in a space colony, the series follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school student living a peaceful life until she meets Nyaan, a girl displaced by war. This encounter thrusts Amate into the underground world of Clumbattles, illegal mobile suit duels.

Taking on the entry name “Machu,” Amate pilots the GQuuuuuuX mobile suit and soon finds herself in relentless combat. As the story unfolds, she crosses paths with a mysterious Gundam—pursued by both the Space Forces and the police—and its enigmatic pilot, Shuji Ito, signaling the dawn of a new era.
