This past June, the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway was officially announced as the theatrical film, Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: Circe's Witch (Senkou no Hathaway: Kirke no Majo), set to hit theaters on January 30, 2026. Fans who've been waiting ages are finally getting their wish!
Today (12/5), the official Gundam X (formerly Twitter) account dropped an epic guide: the "Universal Century Roadmap [Deep Dive Edition]." This comprehensive timeline spans from the original Gundam series all the way to the second Hathaway film, packing in all the major works. The total runtime? A mind-boggling 120 hours! Naturally, fans are buzzing, asking, "Is the Universal Century really that massive?"
Peep the official roadmap, and you'll see it kicks off with the Mobile Suit Gundam theatrical trilogy from U.C. 0079. Then it dives into a ton of essential works from U.C. 0068 to 0085, even including this year's GQuuuuuuX. All in all, you'll navigate through nine distinct blocks before hitting the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: Circe's Witch. And get this, the official promo casually uses the word "just" to describe this monumental journey. Seriously, is binging Gundam that much of a grind? LOL.
Naturally, fans couldn't help but exclaim, "Where's the 'just' in that?! LOL," and "Five days straight, no food, no sleep – totally doable (not!)." It's a chorus of playful jabs, all wrapped in a warm blanket of love. For a true Gundam fan, 120 hours is hardly an unreasonable ask, right?
This guide is actually a promotional campaign designed to help everyone better enjoy the new film. Besides this hardcore, long-form version, there's also a more relaxed, shorter route available – a so-called "60-second official short film" to get you up to speed. But let's be real... most of us are still going for that 120-hour sprint, right? XD
