[Photos/Images] Staff, You Get It! The Genius of Not Using “Char ga Kuru” as Char’s Sortie BGM in “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” 1st

Episode 2 of the anime “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” was packed with homages to the original “Mobile Suit Gundam,” delighting the hearts of longtime fans. Amidst all this, did you notice that one particular musical selection caused a stir among fans?

During the battle scene where Char Aznable (voiced by Yūki Shin) launches in his red Gundam, what played was not the much-anticipated “Char ga Kuru,” but rather an unexpected “unused track.” The music was an arranged version of “Senjō o Shippū no Yō ni” (“Like a Gale on the Battlefield”), a piece included on the soundtrack of the original Gundam but never actually used in the main series.
