Notes and Trivia

 * The Ghirarga's colors and also its speed mirrors to the Mobile Suits piloted by Ace Pilot Char Aznable of the Universal Century timeline, with a running gag that his mobile suits are three times faster than the original. The Ghirarga also is a reference to Char's last mobile suit, the MSN-04 Sazabi.
 * Like the Zeydra before it, the Ghirarga's design seems to borrow elements from the MSN-06S Sinanju, namely the pronounced backpack binders and large yet slender build.
