Machu's gutsy actions have been labeled as "mad dog" behavior, especially on the internet. Comments like "Machu's initiative is really extreme," "She's too much of a mad dog," and "This girl is an absolute bundle of initiative..." flooded in with surprise. Many also praised her readiness to take immediate action out of righteous indignation, with comments such as "She's THE protagonist and I love it" and "Machu, who can act on her sense of justice, is truly the main character."

"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" is the latest installment in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series that has been running since 1979. It tells the story of Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl living peacefully in a space colony, who gets involved in an illegal mobile suit dueling competition called "Clan Battle" after meeting the girl Nyaan. The collaboration between Studio Color, known for the "Rebuild of Evangelion" series, and Sunrise has been generating buzz. The theatrical version, which was released in January this year ahead of the TV series, was a major hit, grossing over 3 billion yen at the box office.
