Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack streams on Crunchyroll and Netflix, and it's the payoff the entire original Gundam saga is built toward. This is the feature-length showdown that finally puts Amuro Ray and Char Aznable on opposite ends of the same battlefield with the fate of Earth itself on the table. Dense, gorgeous, and unafraid to be tragic, it rewards anyone who's followed the Universal Century this far.
About
It is Universal Century 0093, and the fragile peace after the One Year War is unraveling again. Char Aznable has resurfaced at the head of a reborn Neo Zeon, and his plan is chillingly absolute: drive humanity off the planet by making Earth itself unlivable. Standing against him is Amuro Ray, now piloting the newly built Nu Gundam, along with the Federation forces who know exactly what this man is capable of. What follows is less a war than the settling of a decades-long argument between two soldiers who understand each other far too well, tangled up in duty, grief, and a rivalry that was always going to end here.
