The impact of this scene on fans was significant, and online it quickly became affectionately known as "Guel Camp," with numerous fan arts and meme images shared on X (formerly Twitter). Due to its popularity, the "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury EXPO" in 2023 featured a "Guel Camp" booth, faithfully recreating the scene of Guel camping alone from the anime. It became a popular spot for fans to take commemorative photos.

Originally introduced as a rival character, Guel's popularity and viewer sympathy actually increased after his defeats, which is a unique aspect of "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury." His tough yet awkward personality, the misfortunes that befell him, and his relatable human qualities that make him difficult to ignore were all highlighted. Episode 6 not only depicted Guel's "downfall" but also marked the "beginning of his appeal" as a character.

From this single cup of coffee, Guel's story entered a new phase. Episode 6 transformed him from merely a defeated character into a beloved one, making it a memorable episode.
