Gihren (voiced by Kōichi Yamadera) Makes an Exit in About Two Minutes! The Abrupt End of the Principality of Zeon’s Supreme Leader Leaves Fans Saying “What a Luxurious Use of Talent” – Episode 10 of the Anime “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX”

In episode 10 of the anime “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” which began airing on June 10th, Gihren Zabi, Supreme Leader of the Principality of Zeon, makes his first appearance. As he’s a key character in “Mobile Suit Gundam,” and is voiced by top-tier actor Kōichi Yamadera, anticipation among viewers reached a fever pitch. However, the shocking twist of Gihren’s “exit after about two minutes” left fans stunned.

The latest entry in the series, “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” is notable for its parallel world take on the classic “Mobile Suit Gundam” story. In episode 10, Kycilia Zabi (voiced by Kaori Nazuka), Commander of the Zeon Principality Mobile Assault Forces, has a meeting with her elder brother Gihren.

As expected of the Principality’s Supreme Leader, Gihren exudes authority, but during the meeting, he suddenly begins to writhe in agony. It turns out that Kycilia had spread poison in an assassination attempt. In a mere two minutes after his introduction, Gihren ends up dying from the poison in an anticlimactic manner.
