Mobile Suit Gundam Katana

Mobile Suit Gundam Katana is a manga series set in the Universal Century, specifically during UC 0084, a period between the original Mobile Suit Gundam and Zeta Gundam. Serialized from 2009 to 2013 in Gundam Ace, the story follows Lieutenant Colonel Ittou Tsurugi, the new captain of the Earth Federation’s elite special operations unit, BGST (Barghest), as he leads missions against various factions, including the True Federal, a dissident group of former Federation officers. The manga delves into themes of loyalty, duty, and the complexities of post-war politics.

The series is notable for featuring a range of Mobile Suit Variations (MSVs) that were previously seen only in video games and model kits, enriching the Universal Century timeline with new designs. Over the course of seven volumes, the manga explores the characters’ backgrounds and the evolving conflict, providing additional depth to the Gundam universe. Fans of the franchise can find the complete set of volumes available for purchase, offering a unique look at the post-One Year War era.
