Changes: Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children

Revision as of 02:30, 10 April 2020

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children (機動戦士ガンダム逆襲のシャア―ベルトーチカ・チルドレン Kidō Senshi Gandamu Gyakushū no Shā - Berutōchika Chirudoren^?) is a 1988 novel written by Yoshiyuki Tomino and illustrated by Haruhiko Mikimoto.

The original storyline proposed by Tomino for the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack movie was rejected and released instead as this novel. While both Beltorchika's Children and the Char's Counterattack movie are based on the same reference material, the novel Mobile Suit Gundam High-Streamer, there are notable differences.

Story

In U.C. 0093, Char Aznable returns as leader of Neo Zeon, and is determined to drop the asteroid base Axis on Earth. Opposing him is the task-force Londo Bell, led by Amuro Ray and his Gundam. The final battle will take place over the Earth Sphere.

Plot Differences

The Sazabi is replaced by the Nightingale.
While Amuro's Gundam is still referred to as "ν Gundam" in the text, the illustrations that accompany the novel as drawn by Yutaka Izubuchi are referenced as "Hi-ν" to differentiate that interpretation from the movie and Hi-Streamer rendition and to provide a compliment name for the Nightingale.
The Jagd Doga is replaced with the MSN-03-2 Psyco Geara Doga.
Beltorchika Irma from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam is pregnant with Amuro's child, hinting at a relationship between the two.
Instead of Chan Agi in the RGZ-91 Re-GZ intentionally killing Quess Paraya, pilot of the NZ-333 α Azieru, it is instead Hathaway Noa in a stolen RGM-89 Jegan who accidentally kills Quess. This would prompt Hathaway to join the anti-Federation terrorist group known as Mufti over a decade later as told in the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash novel.
This version also confirms that both Char Aznable and Amuro Ray were KIA during Axis' descent toward Earth.
