It Moves That Much!? "Gundam GQuuuuuuX" Episode 8, The Zaku's Salute is Strangely Human-Like

It had such natural, human-like movement!? In episode 8 of the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (Gundam GQuuuuuuX)," what unexpectedly caught viewers' attention was the Zaku's "salute."

To prevent the Earth Federation Forces' Operation Solomon Fortress Drop, the Sodon Fleet led by Char Aznable (CV: Yūki Shin) sorties. An extremely tense operation was depicted in which mobile suits are deployed inside Solomon and suicide Zakus are positioned to protect the lunar city Granada.

At a break in the operation, Char gives instructions to his subordinates: "I'll take care of the rest. You go support Tokuan." Two Zakus respond by saluting in unison with a "Yes, sir!" but their movements are strangely eye-catching. Their elbows and wrists bend flexibly, displaying crisp movements unthinkable for a rugged mobile suit.

On social media, surprised voices emerged one after another, such as "The MS movements are really human-like" and "It's interesting how the Zaku salutes. I wonder if there's a salute button." Many viewers seemed to feel that the show's unique attention to detail was evident in how the scene was deliberately depicted as "movement to be showcased" rather than simply ending as background description.
