Gundam is iconic in Japan, and regardless if you watch anime or not, you should know the name. First released in 1979 as a television series, the Gundam Series franchise exploded to include manga, movies, plastic models and more.
The series is set in the future when humans have colonized space and use humanoid combat vehicles called Gundam mobile suits. Today Gundam is known around the world! Unicorn Gundam is the franchise’s newest attraction. The model is a replication of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam from the novel and OVA Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. This grand display stands at 19.7 meters tall.
The Gundam is normally in Unicorn mode, marked by a white frame with a single antenna protruding from its head. At specified times, however, you can see the Gundam in Destroy mode, where its frame expands and emits a pink glow. You need to visit the Unicorn Gundam!
This isn't the first time a mobile suit graced the city. In 2009 an 18-meter tall RX-78-2 appeared for a limited time in Shiokaze Koen. The model was then reintroduced at Diver City in 2012 and was a popular site for fans and tourists alike until its dismantling this past spring in preparation for the Unicorn Gundam.
