MOBILE SUIT Z GUNDAM - DEFINE - Volume 1

Dive into a new interpretation of one of the major chapters of the Universal Century with Mobile Suit Z Gundam Define – Volume 1, written and illustrated by Hiroyuki Kitazume. This revisited adaptation of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam revisits the conflict between the Titans and the AEUG, several years after the end of the One Year War.

Seven years after the fall of the Principality of Zeon, the Earth Federation has significantly tightened its control over the space colonies. The Titans, an elite military unit created to combat the last pro-Zeon movements, now employ increasingly brutal methods to suppress all opposition.

It is in this context that the story of Kamille Bidan, a young resident of the Green Noa colony, begins. His encounter with members of the AEUG and the appearance of the new RX-178 Gundam Mk-II will draw him into the heart of a conflict far exceeding the borders of his colony.

Mobile Suit Z Gundam Define reintroduces the iconic events and characters of the original series while developing certain elements and offering a new staging. Hiroyuki Kitazume, who notably worked on the animation and character design of the Gundam universe, brings his own vision of this essential period of the Universal Century.

This French edition published by Vega-Dupuis offers an imposing volume of 358 pages in black and white, in a format of approximately 15.3 x 21.2 cm. An excellent way to discover or rediscover the story of Zeta Gundam in a new form.

The return to the Universal Century

Mobile Suit Z Gundam takes place several years after the events of the original series and shows a Federation that has itself become a source of oppression through the Titans. Opposing them is the AEUG, a resistance movement that several key characters from the saga will progressively join.

Between Mobile Suit clashes, political tensions, and the return of historical figures from the One Year War, this first volume lays the groundwork for a major conflict in the Universal Century and is an essential read for fans of Gundam, Zeta Gundam, and military science fiction.
