The internet buzzed with comments like, "A new female character!?!?" "Sudden fan service scene, lol," "Cute butt!" and "Deux-chan's introduction scene is irresistible with this fan service..." Some viewers found themselves too distracted by the unexpected fan service scene to continue speculating.

However, the fact that Gates had little reaction to seeing her change and that Deux uses the first-person pronoun "Boku" sparked a new theme of fan debate over "Deux's gender."

"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" is the latest installment in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, which has been ongoing since 1979. The story follows high school girl Amate Yuzuriha (voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa), who lives peacefully in a space colony but gets caught up in illegal mobile suit dueling competitions known as "Clam Battle" after meeting a girl named Nyaan (voiced by Yui Ishikawa). Co-produced by Studio Khara, known for works like the "Rebuild of Evangelion" series, and Sunrise, the collaboration has drawn attention. The theatrical pre-screening released in January this year was a major hit, grossing approximately 3.4 billion yen. It has also been decided to be re-screened in 368 theaters nationwide from June 20.
