“Gogg Was There! And Z’Gok Too!” The Zeon Aquatic Squad Makes a Smiling Comeback in the Reiwa-Era Gundam—Anime “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” Episode 9

The latest installment in the series, “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” is packed with homages to “Mobile Suit Gundam.” In its ninth episode, mobile suits affectionately dubbed the “Zeon Swimming Club” made their appearance, delighting longtime fans of the Gundam franchise.

“Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” is popular not only for its parallel world-inspired storyline that branches off from “Mobile Suit Gundam,” but also for featuring familiar mobile suits and mobile armors like the Guncannon, Gelgoog, and Gyan. As such, many fans are buzzing with excitement, speculating about which other machines might appear in future episodes.

In the eagerly awaited Episode 9 of “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” the so-called “Zeon Swimming Club” finally appeared. This affectionate nickname refers to the amphibious mobile suits used by the Principality of Zeon’s forces. Scenes depicting Gogg and Z’Gok floating in the Earth’s oceans prompted enthusiastic responses from viewers, such as “Gogg was there! And Z’Gok too!” “I can’t stop crying at the realization that the Zeon Swimming Club really exists,” and “The best, most thrilling moment for me in episode 9 of GQuuuuuuX was seeing the entire Zeon Swimming Club!! (Where are Acguy and Zock, though?)” among many similar expressions of joy.
