Bandai's BANDAI FASHION COLLECTION (Bancolle!), known for its character-themed apparel and lifestyle goods, recently unveiled a lingerie set inspired by Machua (Yoha Amate), the protagonist of the upcoming 2025 Gundam anime, "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX."
However, this product announcement quickly became a hot topic on X, with many netizens wondering if men could wear it too, sparking a hilarious debate among Gundam fans on how to rock the set.
This official product announcement showcases the lingerie set, designed to faithfully replicate Machua's energetic and lively style as seen in her character design.
▼ According to the character designer for "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX," Machua's outfit is indeed a sports bra.
While ostensibly designed for women, the official post was flooded with comments from Gundam fans jokingly declaring, "This isn't lingerie; it's a compression top for our buff buddies!" They likened it to Benimaru Nikaido's iconic outfit from "The King of Fighters," perfect for flaunting those ripped abs and arms (?).
Just look at these comments – clearly, a lot of guys are... eager to try it on (?). Some are even clamoring for a Char Aznable lingerie set... LOL.
Plenty of gentlemen are already gearing up to rock this at the next Comiket!
Others were puzzled: a female character's lingerie set, yet it comes in men's XL and XXL sizes? Hmm... looks like the official team *really* understands their audience's "needs," huh?
Honestly, this isn't Bandai's first foray into character undergarments. They previously released Amuro's boxers! And in two styles, no less!
As for whether anyone will actually buy and wear it, we'll just have to wait and see if any brave souls demonstrate online or at Comiket later this year!
