The secret history of Gundam F91 is revealed: it may seem short-lived, but it is actually the longest chapter in the series

In 1991, a special animated film in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, "Gundam F91", was released, which attracted the attention of fans, but there was no news after that. It seemed to be a "separate" chapter, but if you dig deeper, it is actually the longest chapter in the series, spanning 23 years.

"Gundam F91" was released just in time for the 10th anniversary of the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, which is of great significance. Its story does not continue the previous work "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack", but is a new story that takes place 30 years later.

The story of Gundam F91 is so complete that all fans thought it was a perfect spin-off story for the series' 10th anniversary. However, it is just the beginning of a long story line.

Three years later in real time, "Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam" was born. Regardless of official hints or plot settings, it is considered to be the orthodox sequel to "Gundam F91". At the end of "Gundam F91", the original "Cross Vanguard" organization was reorganized and whitewashed, and transformed into heroes in the new story.

Later, "Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam" became a popular chapter in the series, and continued to appear on major platforms many times without interruption. It even developed into an independent spin-off chapter. The latest spin-off is still on the shelves in the latest magazine in August 2024. Judging from the chronology, the story of "Gundam F91" actually spanned 23 years. Perhaps this is the most favorite Gundam chapter in Mr. Tomino's heart.

·As an aside, it’s a shame to miss the theme song of Gundam F91.
