"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" Char's Overuse Puzzles Modelers - A Scene That Exceeds Limits Even in Gunpla Recreation"

The "Red Gundam" that appeared in episode 2 of the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" has become a hot topic among model enthusiasts, commonly known as "modelers." However, the reason isn't just because of its coolness.

In episode 2, Char Aznable (voiced by Yūki Shin) makes a comeback by hijacking the Federation's RX-78-02, reappearing as a "Red Gundam" equipped with psycommu and six bits. The battle scene where he fully utilizes his Newtype abilities to manipulate the bits freely was praised as "too cool" and "nourishing," while the "difficulty in recreating it with models" has become a headache for enthusiasts.

In reality, the "HG 1/144 Red Gundam" released in May comes with only two bits included, so to completely recreate the Char version's "six-bit" setup, one must either buy three kits or make and duplicate bits separately. Modelers are facing a tricky choice, expressing concerns like, "I want to buy three kits for the bits, but it's impossible with the current scarcity," and "I'm scared of copyright issues with duplication, and ordering parts might get criticized."
