GQuuuuuuXs alternative universe spin on the world of the franchise’s beloved main timeline has already paved the way to some fascinatingly geeky riffs on the original show.

So far the show has leaned heavily on the absence of certain focal characters from the original series.

But one interesting 1979 figure's absence is becoming a central focus of the series’ own interpretation of Gundams Newtype conceptâand its latest episode dropped our biggest hint yet that they’re going to make their presence in the series known in some way.

The framing of Shiiko 's death has direct parallels to the presentation of Lalah ’s own death in the original show.

In the series’ prior retelling of the One Year War , it was revealed that Zeon was keeping another mysterious object called the “Rose of Sharon ” in secrecy, before it disappeared from under them just as Char vanished in the psionic “ Zeknova ”.
