The Return of a Legend: Hyper RX-78-2 Revealed in GQuuuuuuX Finale
The final episode of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX aired late on June 24, and to commemorate the occasion, the official X (formerly Twitter) account released two striking pieces of mecha concept art. The designs feature a radically reimagined RX-78-2 Gundam—described ominously as “a mysterious mobile suit from the other side.”
The concept sparked immediate fan speculation. Was it a dimensional anomaly? A symbolic echo of the original Gundam? Or something more sinister? The term “hyper” quickly trended online, referencing the Gundam’s visibly bulked-up proportions and ominous aura.

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.
