Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin

In Universal Century 0068, Casval Rem Deikun’s world collapses when his father—an influential advocate for the rights of those living beyond Earth—is assassinated. With help from soldiers still loyal to the Deikun cause, Casval and his sister Artesia are rushed out of their home, separated along the way, and forced onto diverging paths that push them toward adulthood amid growing political turmoil.

Long before he takes the name Char Aznable and earns the title “Red Comet,” Casval faces the hardening of his father’s ideals into a militarized movement, as well as his own simmering thirst for revenge. As interstellar conflict escalates, war and circumstance begin shaping him into the mobile suit pilot history will come to remember.
