Japanese Culture | The Pilgrimage Destination for Gundam Enthusiasts, Check in at the Gundam Unicorn in Odaiba!
❤ Mobile Suit Gundam is a top-notch anime work in Japan, and The Gundam Base Tokyo located in Odaiba is the holy land for Gundam fans! In front of the DiverCity gate stands a movable and transformable, super luxurious model of the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn series, the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam.
🌟 The RX-0 Unicorn Gundam statue, which has been standing since September 24, 2017, replaced the previous generation RX-78-2 Gundam model. It is a landmark building in Odaiba, and with the new replacing the old, the height of the Gundam has increased to 19.7 meters, and its mobility surpasses that of its predecessor.
👍 The RX-0 Unicorn Gundam has added new features, allowing it to switch between Unicorn mode and Destroyer mode. In Unicorn mode, it has a protective face and a large horn. After 10 seconds, when it switches to Destroyer mode, the large horn splits into twin spikes, the mask opens, and the entire face is revealed. The two modes switch multiple times throughout the day, offering a spectacular sight that continuously wows the audience with cheers and exclamations!
✅ The performances are held four times a day, divided into morning and afternoon sessions at 11 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM, and 5 PM. The last session initiates the night light mode, with visual effects lasting into the late night. Accompanied by various Gundam theme songs played every half hour, anime clips are projected onto the exterior walls of DiverCity, and the Gundam continues to switch between the two modes.
