Fans Thrilled as Guel Jeturk and Season 2 Darilbalde Join SD Gundam G Generation Eternal

The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the mobile tactical RPG SD Gundam G Generation Eternal has sparked a massive buzz online by teasing a major Gasha update scheduled for July 16. The highlight of the upcoming lineup is the addition of UR "Darilbalde (Season 2 Specs) (EX)" and its pilot, UR "Guel Jeturk," from the hit anime series Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. Following the announcement, "Guel" quickly shot up the trending topics on social media.

For many fans, the implementation of Guel and his Season 2 Darilbalde—which played a pivotal role in the anime's second half—has been highly anticipated. Social media flooded with enthusiastic reactions, including comments like, "I've been waiting for UR Guel!" "He's a must-have!" and "Congrats on getting a UR card, Guel-kun!" Alongside them, UR "Michaelis (Season 2 Specs) (EX)" and its pilot UR "Shaddiq Zenelli" were also announced, bringing the iconic rivals from the anime to the game at the same time.

However, the surprise drop has left some players in a tough spot. Those who recently drained their in-game currency (gems) on other limited-edition banners are now facing a dilemma, with many lamenting, "Guel comes out right when I have no gems left!" and debating whether to pull now or save for the upcoming half-anniversary event.

Speculation regarding the units' in-game stats is already running high. Reflecting the anime's lore, players are guessing that the Darilbalde's advanced autonomous AI will be incorporated to provide massive stat boosts, while Guel might feature high melee and critical hit capabilities. Meanwhile, seasoned players are taking a wait-and-see approach, noting that if the units are added to the permanent pool, it might be wiser to skip the banner for now. Regardless, the explosive reaction once again proves Guel's immense popularity among Gundam fans.

The Context: Who is Guel Jeturk and What is G Generation?

SD Gundam G Generation Eternal is a mobile installment of Bandai Namco's long-running tactical RPG franchise, featuring "Super Deformed" (chibi-style) versions of mobile suits spanning the entire Gundam multiverse. The game allows players to build dream squads, recreate famous battles, and collect their favorite characters and mecha through a Gasha (gacha) system.

The newly announced units come from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (2022–2023), the first mainline Gundam TV anime in seven years, which drew a massive global audience. Guel Jeturk, the pilot of the crimson Darilbalde, is one of the show's breakout characters. Initially introduced as a stereotypically arrogant bully, he undergoes a dramatic, humbling redemption arc that earned him the nickname "Bob" and made him one of the most beloved characters in recent anime history. The "Season 2 Specs" of the Darilbalde represent his triumphant return to the battlefield, fighting alongside his rival Shaddiq Zenelli's faction in intense ideological and physical clashes.

"Make Gehenna Great Again!": New Faction "Gehenna Restoration Committee" Sparks Huge Buzz in Blue Archive

A recent main story teaser from the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the popular mobile RPG Blue Archive has ignited massive excitement among fans. The spotlight is turning back to Gehenna Academy—famously known as the "School of Freedom and Chaos"—with the introduction of a new faction calling itself the "Gehenna Restoration Committee." Rallying under the slogan "Make Gehenna Great Again!", the group seeks to bring back the academy's former sense of order. Currently, Gehenna is defined by a delicate power struggle between the chaotic Pandemonium Society (led by Makoto) and the strict Prefect Team (led by Hina). However, Gehenna's history includes a period where a powerful figure known as the "Thunder Emperor" enforced absolute control. Fans on social media are already diving deep into theories, wondering if the "past order" desired by this new committee refers to the tyrant Thunder Emperor's reign, or if the moveme...
