■ Story

Some time has passed since the end of the Universal Century, a history of space immigration and space war.

Entering a new era, the Regild Century (RC), it was thought that humankind's activities and prosperity would continue as they were, in peace.

RC1014.

Capital Tower is an orbital elevator that rises from the ground and connects Earth to space.

It is a sacred place because it brings photon batteries, the Earth's source of energy, from space.

Bellri Zenam, a trainee for the Capital Guard, an organization organized to protect the Capital Tower, is attacked by the G-Self, a high-performance mobile suit developed by no national technology, during his first training.

Bellri engages in combat in the work mobile suit Recten and succeeds in capturing the G-Self.

However, Bellri senses something special about the space pirate girl who is piloting the G-Self, who calls herself Aida Rayhunton.

The same was true of the G-Self, which he had never seen.

And for some reason, Bellri activates the G-Self, which is not supposed to function unless certain conditions are met.

The space pirates who attack the Capital Tower and Aida's objectives, the fate that awaits Bellri after being chosen by the G-Self, and a truth that will shake up the entire Regild Century awaits at the end.

This was all just the beginning of the Reconguista.

It was also a time of space wars, including the "One Year War," in which there were repeated clashes with the Earth Federation government over the colonies' autonomy.

Regild Century

Capital Territory

The northern part of the Elraid continent, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Amazon River basin. Birgiz Shiva serves as Prime Minister.

・Capital Tower

It is a reproduction of an orbital elevator left over from the previous century (Universal Century). It is located in the center of the Capital Territory, an area in the northern part of the Elride continent, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Amazon River basin, and connects the Earth with space. It is considered sacred because it brings materials obtained from space to the Earth.

・Biclover

Located within the Capital Territory, this is the ground facility of the Capital Tower. It is divided into four blocks, and is also home to the Operations Bureau and the Scord Church Cathedral. Around it are the Capital Guard Training School, Saint Flower Academy, the airport, and other urban areas.

・Photon Battery

The source of energy that powers all aspects of the Regild Century. It cannot be mined or manufactured on Earth, and is brought to Earth by the Capital Tower. It is an unknown substance to those who live on Earth.

A nation located east of Amelia, across the sea. It is hostile to Amelia, but has a cooperative relationship with the Capital Territory.

Contact line

One of the properties of Minovsky particles is that they disrupt communications, so by scattering Minovsky particles in battle zones, all guided weapons and wireless communications can be disabled. (During the Universal Century era, remote-controlled weapons such as bits and funnels that utilize Newtype electromagnetic waves were also developed.) Even when Minovsky particles are scattered, direct contact between people and between mobile suits can transmit sound through vibrations. (Commonly known as the "skin-to-skin contact line.")

・Hermes Foundation

・The Layhanton family

A prestigious family that has existed for a long time in Towasanga.

Gundam G's Reconguista - Gundam Gino Reconguista Review

"Gundam Reconguista of G," which aired in 2014 as the latest in the Gundam series, is packed with director Tomino Yoshiyuki's unique worldview and new attempts. This film begins in the new era of the Universal Century, with the encounter between Berli Zenam, who protects the Capital Tower, and the mysterious Mobile Suit G-Self. Below we will explain in detail the appeal and evaluation of this work.

Story and Themes

Gundam: Reconguista of G is set in the Liguild Century, a new era after the Universal Century. In this era, memories of the war of the world fade away and peace is believed to continue. However, the story begins with the appearance of a pirate unit attacking the Capital Tower, and when the main character, Berli Zenam, meets G-Self, the peaceful daily life changes completely. Berli is a special being able to move G-Self, and the story unfolds along with his destiny.

The theme of this work is "Reconguista," which means returning to Earth and reconquest. The story is deeply thoughtful about the relationship between Earth and the universe, and the future of humanity. In particular, the conflict over the energy source of Photon Battery and the connection between Earth and the universe, symbolized by the existence of the Capital Tower, are the core themes of the work.

character

The protagonist Berli Zenam is a genius-talented candidate for Capital Guard, and is the only one who can move G-Self. His growth and conflict are at the heart of the story, drawing viewers. Around Berli is a collection of unique characters, including Aida Sulgan, the leader of the pirate squad, and Laraija Mandy, a mysterious girl who has lost her memory. Their relationships and growth enriches the story.

The characters from opposing forces, such as Capital Army's Mask and Towasanga's Resistance leader Rolucca Bisquez, are also fascinating. Their background and ideology are depicted in depth, giving the story more depth than just an antagonist.

Mechanic Design

The mechanic design for Gundam G's Reconguista is created by famous designers such as Yasuda Akira and Katabe Ippei. G-Self in particular is a versatile mobile suit that can be transformed into various forms by replacing a backpack, and its design and functionality are highly praised. In addition, mobile suits from various forces, such as Capital Army's Cutsea, Elves Brook, and Pirate Unit Montero, are unique and have a high visual appeal.

Additionally, new mobile suits have also been introduced with new designs such as Venus Groub's Jaion and Girod, enriching the worldview of the entire work. These mechanic designs can be said to be packed with new attempts, while continuing the traditions of the Gundam series.

music

The music is by Kanno Yugo, and it contains many songs that will excite the atmosphere of the work, including the opening theme "BLAZING," "Two no Maho," and the ending theme "G's Flash." In particular, Kanno Yugo's music skillfully expresses the story's development and the characters' feelings, and plays a role in enhancing the viewers' emotions. The insert song "Hyphen Staccato" is also memorable, and has the effect of encouraging the battle scenes.

Ratings and Recommendations

Gundam G's Reconguista is highly regarded as a new attempt in the Gundam series. The appeal of the content is particularly distinct from the previous Gundam series, such as the new era of the Reguild Century and the G-Self backpack replacement system. The character's growth and relationships are also deeply depicted, and it has the power to attract viewers.

However, some viewers may say that the story development is a bit sudden, and some people may find it difficult to understand. However, this is a work that I would highly recommend watching for fans of the Gundam series or for those interested in mechanic design and music.

This film gives you a sense of new possibilities for the Gundam series, while also enjoying the unique worldview of director Tomino Yoshiyuki. After watching it, you will be able to think deeply about the worldview of Riguild Century and the fate of the characters.
