Paired with the high-octane energy of the theme song "Plazma" by Kenshi Yonezu, this cut leaves a lasting impression. The sight of Challia Bull keeping pace with the leads has made him a major point of interest for fans trying to predict where the story is headed.
Gundam GQuuuuuuX is doing a brilliant job of grabbing the attention of long-time series fans through this kind of unexpected character usage. If his performance in the OP is any indication, it’s clear that Challia Bull isn't just here as a "nostalgia cameo."
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is the latest entry in the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, which began in 1979. The story follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school girl living a peaceful life in a space colony, who is thrust into the world of "Clan Battles"—illegal Mobile Suit duels—after a fateful encounter with a girl named Nyaan.
The series has garnered significant buzz as a co-production between Studio Khara (known for the Rebuild of Evangelion series) and Sunrise. The theatrical "advance" edition released in January of this year was a massive hit, earning approximately 3.4 billion yen at the box office. Its popularity has transcended borders, leading to a nationwide re-screening in 368 theaters in June 2025, as well as a special panel at North America’s largest anime convention, Anime Expo 2025.
