[Photos/Images] "Isn't it the Red Comet?" Numerous Comments on the Suspicious Blond Character in the Anime "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" 1st

Episode 8 of the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" began airing sequentially from May 27. A mysterious blond man reminiscent of Char Aznable (CV: Yuki Shin) appeared in the latter part of the episode, drawing attention with comments like "That has to be Char!" and "The fact that he's not in the credits...".

In the first half of Episode 8, titled "Falling on the Moon," the past era was depicted once again, unfolding the story leading up to Char's disappearance. The timeline then shifts back to the present, focusing on the character Nyaan (CV: Yui Ishikawa) who arrives at Kycilia Zabi's (CV: Kaori Nazuka) place.

Towards the end, the scene transitions to an airport where suddenly a man resembling Char appears. This man was referred to as "Shirouz," but for some reason, his name did not appear in the ending credits. When Tirza Lionni (CV: Rena Maeda), who was with him, said, "If only we knew the whereabouts of Sharon's Rose...", Shirouz gave a meaningful expression.

With Shirouz's appearance, fans online were quick to speculate, with comments like "Isn't it the Red Comet?" and "That has to be Char! The fact he's not credited means something." On the other hand, there were opinions suggesting, "I feel like they are leading us astray," and "Maybe he's a Char-based clone enhanced human."

"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" is the latest installment in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, which has been ongoing since 1979. The story follows Amate Yuzuriha (CV: Tomoyo Kurosawa), a high school girl living peacefully in a space colony, who gets caught up in the illegal mobile suit dueling competition "Clan Battle" after meeting the girl Nyaan. The anime is a co-production by Studio Khara, known for works like the "Rebuild of Evangelion" series, and Sunrise. The theatrical version, released in January before the TV series, became a huge hit with box office revenue of approximately 3.4 billion yen.
