To our Gundam Card Game players,
After reviewing tournament results, internal testing, and feedback from players around the world, we have decided to update the Banned & Restricted List, effective July 25.
We wanted to share this update as early as possible so players and event organizers can stay informed ahead of the changes.
Our goal is to foster an environment where a wide variety of decks and strategies can thrive. We hope this update will create more opportunities for different playstyles to succeed and contribute to a better overall gameplay experience.
We understand these changes may have a significant impact on players, and this was not a decision we made lightly. As the game continues to evolve, we will keep a close eye on the environment and continue listening to your feedback as we work together to make Gundam Card Game even better.
Thank you for your passion and continued support.

I defined Amuro Ray as the protagonist of the theatrical version of Mobile Suit Gundam.
In the second part, I tried setting him against that kind of Amuro—one who would abandon the society he was meant to fight for.
So then—would Amuro deny it?
That place is a battlefield.
Would Amuro live while denying it, or would he die?
He fights on the borderline between life and death, surviving by the skin of his teeth.
Would that be called “living” just because he obtained it through sheer luck (kyōkō)?
Probably not.
Even if he refuses to treat it as mere “luck,” there are surely those who would reduce that survival to nothing more than luck.
Yet whether he likes it or not, it ultimately depends on Amuro’s own self-awareness.
Perhaps fate does not exist.
Maybe because he was a Newtype, his capacity to survive was unusually strong, and that’s why he was permitted to live—perhaps Amuro’s life is simply the characteristic of one who was chosen.
But can a person’s way of living truly be separated from the destiny of their era and the talents they happen to possess?
Does the path toward “life” open up depending on how one reacts—or tries to present oneself—to external stimuli?
Or is it determined solely by the raw emotion of wanting to “live”?
If one does not expand toward “life,” one cannot continue to survive.
Living by sheer force of will alone is probably impossible.
Even surviving while hating it cannot be done through willpower alone.
On the battlefield, soldiers are compelled to live while constantly confronting death.
They are forced to accept death as part of everyday existence.
They are thrown into the very act of living-while-dying.
That is precisely what happens to ordinary soldiers—and to Amuro as well.
Yet there, people desperately exert all their strength, wishing with their entire being to survive.
Even if they know death is approaching, even if the times try to force death upon them—somewhere within them there remains that “something” that strives to protect life at all costs.
That “something” may be love for another person.
Or perhaps it is for the sake of all humanity.
It may not be for any single individual.
They—each and every one—wish to wield the power that sleeps within them, the power to fulfill their own profound, earnest desire, even if only once.
If we call that power Newtype ability, then I would like to think of Amuro as someone who possesses it.
If we speak of bitterness and regret, then I want to grant that power even to the countless soldiers who died in the rubble without ever obtaining it.
I want to call them “the grieving warriors.”
I want to pour into Amuro all of their regrets and hopes (dreams).
I want to give Amuro the strength to break through and overcome that.
By accepting the sincere wish of the ordinary staff who placed that burden upon him, by accepting the reality of the grieving warriors exactly as they were, I want Amuro to grow into a person capable of leading humanity into the next world—a world filled with the possibilities of the universe.
He himself is us, right now…
I look forward to the departure toward that next stage.

In his memo, Yasuo Ohtagaki explains that he designed the MS-09 Dom Resonance specifically for a side story in Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, where he considered the Guntank to be the true protagonist. Because of this, he drew what he personally regards as the strongest possible Guntank.
He then asked himself: if the enemy opposing this ultra-powerful Guntank is a Dom, what kind of approach would make for the most compelling confrontation? From the very beginning, he wanted to create the ultimate hover unit capable of standing up to the ultimate tank.
Starting from the classic Dom as a base, he developed a design that would not be outmatched by the Guntank. Drawing on past experience, the most effective solution turned out to be dramatically widening the lower body / hover skirt in a tank-like manner, giving it an extremely broad, low-slung profile.
This exaggerated horizontal spread makes the lower section visually dominant—especially when drawing human figures (in the characteristic “Gundam pilot climbing onto a bike” style) next to it. In this episode, with Creed piloting the main Guntank, the massively widened tank-like hover section of the Dom Resonance becomes the central compositional element.
Although this design choice makes both the mobile suit and the characters much harder to draw, Ohtagaki deliberately pushed the horizontal exaggeration to its limit. In the end, he believes he succeeded in creating the strongest hover unit truly capable of rivaling the strongest tank.
He states that he designed it exactly the way he himself wanted, so the Dom Resonance holds a lot of personal attachment for him.
In short: Ohtagaki created the Dom Resonance as the definitive hovercraft counterpart / antithesis to his idealized “strongest Guntank,” transforming the Dom into a gigantic, ultra-wide hover-tank monster for an epic, visually striking duel in the Thunderbolt side story.
