On SNS, comments like "The title, with the familiar sound, is funny," "I laughed at the title call SE!!", and "The title SE is really the original LOL" flooded, hitting the hearts of nostalgic fans. It shows how deeply that sound has seeped into the bodies of Gundam fans.

Whether this sound effect will continue or was just a clever “greeting” for this occasion is still unknown. But considering how one single "te-te-teen, te-te-ten!" heightened the excitement this much, the power of sound over memory should not be underestimated. Expectations for subsequent subtitle calls are inevitably raised.

"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" is the latest installment in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, which began in 1979. It follows the story of Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl living peacefully in a space colony, who, after meeting a girl named Nyaan, becomes entangled in the illegal mobile suit duel tournament, "Clan Battle." Co-produced by Studio Khara and Sunrise, known for works like the "Rebuild of Evangelion" series, the theatrical version released ahead of the TV series in January this year achieved a blockbuster success, grossing over 3 billion yen in box-office revenue.
