A young boy named Uso Evin is drawn into the conflict as the pilot of the Victory Gundam, symbol of the resistance movement.

As the war of the worlds begins, a young Moonrace citizen named Loran Cehack, pilot of the legendary Turn A Gundam, struggles to bridge the gap between humanity's long-separated branches.


SD Gundam

In addition to the serious drama of the Gundam saga proper, there's also a long-running and popular parody series known as SD Gundam.

The latest addition is SD Gundam Force, which is now available on DVD in North America.
