Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: Glory of the Losers

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: Glory of the Losers is a manga retelling of the Gundam Wing TV series that weaves in the designs, backstory, and ideas popularized by the Endless Waltz OVA. Illustrated by Tomofumi Ogasawara, it follows the familiar arc—Operation Meteor, the Eve Wars, and the road to peace—while reframing events with sharper political context and added scenes that spotlight the roles of Dekim Barton, the Barton Foundation, and the true intent behind Operation Meteor.

A major hook is the mecha presentation: Katoki-style “EW” versions of the five Gundams and their upgrades appear as part of the main narrative rather than just an epilogue makeover. The story also sprinkles in new and reinterpreted hardware—custom loadouts, alternate mission equipment, and one-off variants (like Zechs’s Tallgeese Flugel)—to connect character beats with evolving machines. The result feels like a definitive cut for Wing fans: same core cast—Heero, Relena, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Zechs, Treize—but with cleaner motivations, extra connective tissue between battles, and a satisfying bridge from the TV series’ finale to the Endless Waltz worldview.
