Since the announcement for Super Robot Wars Y, I’ve seen a bit of confused eyebrow-raising at the apparent absence of any Universal Century Gundam shows in the roster, and so far the only Gundam series’ included apparently just being Mobile Fighter G-Gundam and Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. And I had an interesting thought on that:

What if we actually DON’T get any UC Gundam shows in SRW Y because the writers are specifically building a shared narrative for this game around the idea of Earth as abandoned, left behind and exploited by those in the space colonies above?

As a lot of people have pointed out, both G-Gundam and G-Witch actually both share this rather notable flip on the otherwise pretty standard Gundam trope of ‘Space colonies rebelling against the established power of Earth’. In G-Gundam, Earth and its remaining people have been largely abandoned by those in the colonies and has been devastated by decades of being used as the battleground for the Gundam Fights. And in G-Witch, Earth has become the underclass backwater exploited for labor and resources by those in the colonies like the Benerit Group.

What if the reason we’re not seeing any UC Gundam series’ in SRW Y’s roster so far is because basically NONE of their stories really WORK with this background? Like you can’t exactly square Zeta Gundam’s ‘Earth is oppressing the colonies’ narrative with G-Witch’s ‘the colonies are oppressing Earth’ narrative, now can you? And the same goes really MOST other Gundam series’ as well, Wing, SEED*, 00, etc. About the only other Gundam series I could see working here is After War Gundam X, since that show is similarly built around the idea of an Earth that has been devastated by war.

And this is made more interesting when we look at some of the other shows announced for SRW Y, and find they also potentially fit rather nicely into this shared narrative.

Getter Robo Arc is set at the end of the Getter Robo timeline, taking place after years of fighting against the Dinosaur Empire and other threats to humanity, which certainly provides something else to have ravaged the Earth.

And Macross Delta’s inclusion actually potentially fits perfectly into this narrative, as that brings with it the shared Macross backstory of Earth having been devastated by the war with the Zentradi.

Even the inclusion of Aura Battler Dunbine could potentially fit into this narrative, since that series has its character being summoned to another world isekai-style. Meaning that there can be some interesting potential of the fantastical world of Byston Well being used to contrast the devastated and ravaged Earth.

Also, a Super Robot Wars game not including any UC Gundam shows, or having just two Gundam entries in its roster is hardly a new thing either. Super Robot Wars UX, L, Neo, K, even the very well-regarded and fan-favorite J and W (a personal favorite of mine as well) all likewise featured no UC Gundam shows, and most only featured a couple Gundam entries at all.

In fact, considering that the last SRW entry, Super Robot Wars 30 was rather notable for including ONLY Gundam entries set in the Universal Century (outside of DLC anyway), it actually feels a bit fitting that the next entry would feature no UC Gundam shows at all.

*Though funny enough, I could see the new Gundam SEED Freedom movie working in this setting, assuming some pretty major tweaks. That movie is also set after multiple devastating wars and treats most of Earth outside of two small nations as basically an afterthought, with most of the power at this point clearly being held by the colonies, so I think you could make the setting work. Compass in turn could be made into one of multiple ‘peacekeeping’ organizations working with/for the Space Assembly League similar to Cathedra and their Domincus corp. Which would basically necessitate making Kira ‘Jesus’ Yamato and all his friends a LOT more morally ambiguous/complicated in likely a ‘wait, are we the bad guys?’ way. Which I think we can all agree would be pretty fun XD
