It's Not "Here Comes Char"!? Fans Thrilled by an Unexpected Char Battle BGM in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX

The latest entry in the homage-filled "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX," has garnered attention from fans for its unique twists. During Char Aznable’s (voiced by Yūki Shin) battle scenes, the music that played was not the familiar "Here Comes Char"...!? Many hardcore fans were left astounded by this super-niche musical selection.

"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" has become popular for its parallel-world storyline inspired by the original "Mobile Suit Gundam." In episode 2, there was a shocking development in which Zeon ace pilot, the Red Comet Char, steals a Gundam from the Earth Federation Forces’ base and becomes its pilot.

While the episode unleashed a series of homages to the original, including eye catches and lines of dialogue, this particular detail might have flown under the radar for many viewers due to its extremely niche nature. When it comes to Char-related music, the insert song "Here Comes Char," used in episode 40 of the original "Mobile Suit Gundam," is quite famous. However, in the Char battle scene in "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX," a different BGM was used.
