To clarify this curiosity, the director of the series, Kazuya Tsurumaki , shared the backstage of the creation of the title in a recent interview with Comic Book . As explained by Tsurumaki, the name Gquuuuuuux emerged unexpectedly and hurriedly before the official release.
We wanted something that wasn't just another 'cool' name of mecha. We didn't want the title to get lost in the middle of so many others in the franchise. Commented the director.
So, alongside Hideaki Anno , they decided to bet on something unique . The “Queux”, with multiples' U's, acts as a generic term - something temporary, which can be replaced - and carries that same idea within the plot.
In the story, Gquuuuuux is the prototype of Gundam piloted by Nyan, a young woman who is learning to master the mecha fighting in record time. Surprisingly, she joins the mysterious Shuji Ito, a pilot who runs Char's legendary Red Gundam. Together they participate in an underground tournament for money, drawing attention to powerful forces that observe their movements with increasing interest.
Currently, Gundam Gquuuuuux is available in the Amazon Prime Video , and despite the complicated name, the series has been winning the audience with its high quality animation and daring twists.
So if you are a franchise fan or just curious to know what's coming in this alternative universe, it is worth following the episodes.
