Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack Vol. 01
The legend of Armuro Ray and Char Aznable continues in a new adaptation of Tomino’s ground-breaking film. Their first battle changed the tone of the One Year War. Their last battle could be believed as the end of that war. Now more than a dozen years later, Aznable has emerged to lead a Neo Zeon and Amuro is ready to confront his rival once again. Created twenty-five years after Yoshiyuki Tomino’s original novels, Beltorchika’s Children is an alternative telling of the legendary film.
Series Overview: U.C. 0093 – Char Aznable, the infamous “Red Comet” of the One Year War, has come out of hiding to lead the Neo-Zeon Army and wage war against the Earth Federation. Only his greatest rival, Gundam pilot Amuro Ray, can stop him from dropping the Axis asteroid on Earth and causing a major global catastrophe.
