In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the TV anime 'Mobile Fighter G Gundam,' it has been decided that Yoshiyuki Imagawa's newly written side story, "Mobile Fighter G Gundam Gaiden: Heaven Shaking Thunder," will be published on the official 'G Gundam' website starting July 5th. To commemorate this, a program titled "First-time Viewers and Long-time Fans, Everyone's Waiting! G Gundam Grand Streaming!!" will be live-streamed on the official YouTube channel "Gundam Channel" on July 4th to showcase the appeal of G Gundam.

'Mobile Fighter G Gundam' first aired in 1994, marking a significant departure from the traditional Gundam series that depicted the continuous world of the Universal Century. This alternative series was a major turning point in the Gundam franchise, and now, 30 years later, a new story is being told as a side story. The special live program will feature Tomokazu Seki, who voices Domon Kasshu, and will include a segment introducing the series for new viewers and sharing the latest product information, highlighting the charms of G Gundam.

Viewers are invited to send in their "Mind-Blowing G Gundam Introductions." With its numerous unique and intriguing characters and mechas, 'Mobile Fighter G Gundam' stands out. We are looking for messages introducing the wild and entertaining aspects of G Gundam, and recommendations for those who are about to watch it. Submitted messages will be featured in the live-streamed program. Details on how to submit will be announced on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the "Gundam Series 45th Anniversary."

'Mobile Fighter G Gundam' aired from 1994 to 1995 and became a sensation with its unique premise of martial artists from different countries battling in the "Gundam Fight" using their Gundams to determine the world's supremacy, setting it apart from other 'Gundam' series.

In an effort to avoid large-scale wars in space, nations devised the Gundam Fight, where representative Gundams fight on Earth, with the winning country gaining control for the next four years. The 13th Gundam Fight tournament is depicted, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of the protagonist Domon Kasshu and his comrades.
