The advance theatrical release of 'Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (Giaku Axe) -Beginning-' held a finale stage greeting to thank the audience, and Machu's most popular line was, as expected, 'I don't really get it, but I kind of get it.'
On Sunday, March 23, 2025, an event titled 'Theatrical Advance Version 'Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuX (Zeku Ax) -Beginning-' Thank You for Visiting Finale Stage Greeting' was held at Screen 12 of TOHO Cinemas Hibiya. The TV series version of 'Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuX (Zeku Ax)' will start broadcasting on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, so on the last opportunity,

Appearing at the event were (from left) Tsuchiya, Kurosawa, Ise, Arata, and Kawada. The MC was Kyogoku Masami .
The advance theatrical release of 'Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuX -Beginning-' seemed to be a shock even to the cast, with Kurosawa saying he felt like 'wait a minute' five seconds into the film, and Ise saying he couldn't help but think '...huh?' and rewind his memory of the dubbing session to check it again.
Regarding the role of Machu, Kurosawa said that getting to know director Kazuya Tsurumaki was the key to getting to know Machu. The key to playing Machu was to know director Tsurumaki's hobbies and what excites him, and he ultimately came to the conclusion that 'Machu is director Tsurumaki.'
In the 'Amate & Yuzuriha (Machu) Popularity Line Rearrangement Quiz' corner, the Pomeranians team of Kurosawa, Tsuchiya, and Ise, and the Mab team of Arata and Kawada took on the challenge of guessing the ranking of Machu's most popular lines, which were collected in advance on X.
The four candidates were A 'Is space free?', B 'Definitely! It's sparkling!', C 'I don't really get it, but I kind of get it', and D 'I'm going to defeat those guys...'
When the answers were opened, the Pomeranians team chose C→A→D→B, while the Mavs team chose C→A→B→D. Both teams chose C, 'I don't really get it, but I kind of get it,' as their first choice. Although both teams got the order wrong, they got the first place answer right.
In addition, at the end of the event, a surprise video message was shown from Kenshi Yonezu, who wrote 'Plazma,' the theme song for the early cinema release and the opening theme for the TV series.
The following is an excerpt from Kenshi Yonezu's video comment at the finale stage greeting:
When I was making 'Plazma,' I read all the storyboards for the TV anime, and when I first read them, I was shocked. This Gundam is a story that has another big axis, the 'what if' axis, in addition to the story of Machu and Nyaan. I thought that by simultaneously filling it with the nuance of the children jumping out of their small world into a bigger one, while keeping that as the axis, I could create a song that suits this work. With that hunch in mind, I expanded it one by one.
I am very familiar with Gundam, so I am very honored to be involved in the theme song at this time. Please look forward to the anime and 'Plazma.'
The early theatrical release 'Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuX -Beginning-' is currently a huge hit.
