"Is this really a Zaku...?" Fans were bewildered by the strangely round and sleek Zaku, known as the "Doan Zaku," which appeared in episode 15 of the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam."
The White Base receives an emergency signal from the Earth Federation Air Force, prompting Amuro Ray (voiced by Toru Furuya) to head to an island for reconnaissance. There, he encounters a mysterious Zaku, beloved by children, that fights by throwing rocks. Gundam is synonymous with beam rifles and sabers, while Zaku is known for its Zaku Machine Gun. This unconventional combat style that defied such norms was truly unique.
