To clarify this curiosity, the series director, Kazuya Tsurumaki , shared the behind-the-scenes story of the title's creation in a recent interview with the website Comic Book . As explained by Tsurumaki, the name GQuuuuuuX came about unexpectedly and hastily, shortly before the official release.
We wanted something that wasn't just another 'cool' mecha name. We didn't want the title to get lost among so many others in the franchise, the director commented.
Thus, alongside Hideaki Anno , they decided to bet on something unique . The “Quuux”, with multiple 'u's, functions as a generic term — something temporary, that can be replaced — and carries that same idea within the plot.
In the story, GQuuuuuuX is the prototype Gundam piloted by Nyan, a young woman who is learning to master mecha combat in record time. Surprisingly, she teams up with the mysterious Shuji Ito, a pilot who commands the legendary Red Gundam of Char. Together, they participate in an underground tournament for money, drawing the attention of powerful forces who observe their movements with growing interest.
Currently, Gundam GQuuuuuuX is available on Amazon Prime Video , and despite its complicated name, the series has been winning over audiences with its high-quality animation and daring plot twists.
So, if you're a fan of the franchise or just curious to know what's coming next in this alternate universe, it's worth watching the episodes.
