Commentary: "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" Mysterious new MS 

The announcement of a new MS (mobile suit) for the theatrical version of ``Mobile Suit Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom'' from the popular anime ``Gundam'' series, has become a hot topic. Information on Gunpla (plastic models) and figures was released all at once on October 5th, but only the visuals were released. The occupants of each MS have not been announced, and there are various speculations.

◇Who will ride Immortal Justice?

Rising Freedom Gundam and Immortal Justice Gundam transform into MA form. According to information from Gunpla, the Rising Freedom Gundam is capable of a Hi-Mat Full Burst, which fires all its weapons at once, by deploying its wings and Agni cannon, and extending the barrel of its waist rail gun.

The third PV that was released begins with the line "Kira Yamato, let's go!" and depicts a scene where the Rising Freedom Gundam takes off, so it seems that Kira Yamato will be on board, but there are no passengers. It is not possible to say for sure, as it has not been made clear.

The Immortal Justice Gundam is equipped with a beam boomerang, just like the Justice Gundam. Athrun Zala was piloting the Justice Gundam, but since Athrun Zala 's appearance cannot be confirmed in the trailer, some fans have speculated that "Shin Asuka will pilot it."

◇An unannounced GYAN Strom

Gelgoog Menace and Ganstrom are also being talked about. According to Gunpla information, Gelgoog Menace seems to be equipped with a beam naginata like Gelgoog. Ganstrom is equipped with a shield like Gyan, and the PV depicts him deploying a beam cutter from the shield to fight.

The Force Impulse Gundam Spec II, the beam cloak-equipped Black Knight Squad Shiva, and Black Knight Squad Rudra were also announced, but details are still unknown.

Of the new MS revealed, only GYAN Strom has not been announced as being made into a Gunpla model, so we look forward to further news.

"Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom" is a sequel to "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY" and is set in CE (Cosmic Era) 75. Director Mitsuo Fukuda and other TV anime staff will reunite. It will be released on January 26, 2024.
