History[]
It was one of the mobile fighters that participated in the 9th to 12th Gundam Fight tournaments. Thanks to the efforts of Gundam Fighter Gentle Chapman, it achieved three consecutive victories, and even in the 12th tournament, which he did not participate in, it achieved the excellent result of third place, making it an honorable machine.
However, this "overwhelming record of fighting with firearms" led the Gundams of each country to place more emphasis on shooting and firepower in the 10th and 11th Gundam Fight tournaments (though there were some skilled martial artists who came "one step away" from making them reconsider this).
The Shuffle Alliance, worried that this would lead to an arms race and the outbreak of a Second Chaos War, sent Master Asia, the "King of Hearts" at the time, to the 12th tournament to win. As the Shuffle Alliance had planned, the martial arts-focused fighters, led by the Kowloon Gundam, defeated the gunfight-focused mobile fighters one after another, dispelling the momentum, and many of the participants in the 13th tournament were once again martial arts-focused Gundams.
In Chapman's mansion during the 13th Gundam Fight, there was a portrait of Chapman and his wife Manon Chapman, as well as Britain Gundam, which was made to commemorate Chapman's three consecutive victories. Seeing the imposing figure, Domon Kasshu was reminded of Chapman's greatness.
