Penelope and Xi Gundam - The Mobile Suits of Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway's Flash!

About Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash

Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash, also known as Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway, is a new movie based on an older story. Originally released as a trilogy of novels by series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino, the story follows Hathaway Noa, the son of original series main character Bright Noa, as he starts a rebellion against the corruption of the Earth Federation and its privatization of Earth. Noa joins the terrorist group Mafty to achieve this goal, while still unable to forget events from his past during the Second Neo Zeon War. This movie is the first of a planned three movie series that will cover the same story. Learn more about the characters, mobile suits and history of this new adaptation below!


Current Japanese Screening Schedule

The original Japanese release date for the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash movie was meant to be July 23, 2020. However, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening was pushed back multiple times until its date of Friday, June 11, 2021 was decided upon. From a preview in April, the first postponed release date was set for May 7, although this was later changed to May 21, and finally to its current date. Finally, it seems that diehard Gundam fans will soon have their first look at this long-awaited adaptation!


The Main Mobile Suits of the Story

RX-105 Ξ Gundam (Xi Gundam)

This special mobile suit was built for Mafty to use for its assaults on the Earth Federation, and is piloted by Hathaway Noa. The Xi Gundam contains many features that make it stand out from the standard mobile suits, such as its larger arms and its signature Minovsky Flight Unit, allowing for free movement throughout Earth’s atmosphere even in its default mobile suit mode.
