“Shūji = Amuro” Suspicion Emerges! Theories Flood In Over the Mysterious Boy's Summoning of the “White Gundam” in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Episode 11

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Episode 11 was packed with shocking developments, including the unexpected appearance of a Gundam. Who is the mysterious boy Shūji Itō (voiced by Shimba Tsuchiya)? Is he actually Amuro Ray from “Mobile Suit Gundam”? Or—? With the final episode approaching, fan speculation is only intensifying.

Shūji is an enigmatic boy who pilots a “Red Gundam.” In Episode 11, after having disappeared for a while, Shūji reappears and confesses, “I came from the ‘other side.’ I’m here to put an end to this world that she (Lalah) created.” At that moment, what emerged from the light that seemed to be from the “other side” was, astonishingly, a mobile suit that looked exactly like the RX-78-2—the so-called “original Gundam”—from “Mobile Suit Gundam.”

Initially thought to be a fictional war story based on “Mobile Suit Gundam,” as Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX progresses, it’s now interpreted as a narrative depicting a parallel world branched off by the power of Lalah Sune.

So, is Shūji—who claims to have come from the “other side”—a character related to “Mobile Suit Gundam”? That said, it hasn’t been definitively confirmed that the “other side” refers to the world of “Mobile Suit Gundam.” Online, voices keep pouring in: “Is Shūji actually Amuro?” “He doesn’t really seem like the same person as Amuro,” “So, is Shūji an Amuro-like character from a parallel world?”
