Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga)	comment	Spoilers for all previous Gundam entries in the Universal Century continuity, including Mobile Suit Gundam F91, will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!A Manga follow-up to the film Gundam F91, written and illustrated by Yuuichi Hasegawa based on notes and information by Yoshiyuki Tomino, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam takes place ten years after the Cosmo Babylonia war depicted in the movie and follows Tobia Arronax, a space colony-born Ordinary High-School Student who, during his first visit to the Jupiter-sphere colonies, becomes involved with the Crossbone Vanguard, a group of Space Pirates (utilizing stolen Mobile Suits, along with two powerful Super Prototype Crossbone Gundams) who are locked in a struggle against the Jupiter Empire, an aristocracy that is secretly plotting to invade the Earth-sphere.After meeting the Vanguard's Ace Pilot Kincade Nau (actually F91's Seabook Arno under an assumed name) and their Captain Berah Ronah (also from F91), Tobia decides to join up with them and stop the Empire's scheme. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when it turns out that the Empire isn't quite up to what the Vanguard thinks they're up to...Cross Bone Gundam is one of the more popular non-anime "spinoffs" of the Gundam franchise on both sides of the Pacific, popular enough to appear in various crossover video games. The general sentiment is that the series represents Gundam at its peak: characters, storytelling, action, drama, and comedy all come together well, without the concerns that usually hobble the televised chapters of the saga (such as desire to sell toys). The fact that it's one of the few Gundam stories handled by Tomino to avert his usual ways might also be a factor. The manga ran for 26 chapters in the Kadokawa Comics A magazine and was later compiled into six tankoubon volumes. It also had sequels, written by Yuichi Hasegawa without Tomino's direct input: Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Skullheart: Released from 2002 to 2004, this series consists primarily of short vignettes detailing the adventures of the Crossbone Vanguard through the three years after the end of the original manga, with a few trips into the past to see Umon when he was a rookie in the One-Year War, and to explain how narrator Twink met the crew. Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7: Released in 2006 and 2007, Steel 7 is a direct sequel to Cross Bone taking place three years later. Bernadette's step-mother Europa flees to Earth to warn the Vanguard that the Jupiter Empire is building "Zeus's Wrath", a giant colony laser, in a second attempt to destroy Earth. Tobia must race against time and agents of the Empire to recover a means with which to get to Jupiter, and to recruit the best pilots he can muster for what seems to be a suicide mission. This manga ties even more heavily into Victory Gundam than the original Cross Bone, serving to explain where the V2 Gundam's "Wings of Light" came from. Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Ghost: Released from 2011 to 2016, Ghost is another sequel, set seventeen years after Steel 7, which is around the same timeframe as Victory Gundam (U.C. 0153). Our new protagonist is a young Gundam enthusiast named Font Baud, who accidentally stumbles on Zanscare's plans for the Angel Halo while on the Internet. As Zanscare hunts him down, he is rescued by the forces of Serpiente Tacon (who later take the name Crossbone Vanguard once again), a Jovian special forces group lead by Curtis Rothko (aka Tobia Arronax) and a girl named Belle. They are trying to retrieve "Angel's Call", an artifact which could make the Angel Halo far more horrific a weapon than anyone ever imagined... Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Dust: Released from 2016 to 2020, Dust is set in the previously undepicted timeframe of UC 0168 — even further into the Universal Century timeline than Victory Gundam's UC 0153 setting. It follows three characters, the "Undying Ember" Ash King, the head of a freight company, "Moonlight Crane" Kaguya Shiratori, a mercenary, and the "Iron Peasant" Taganas Tayaka, a minor warlord commanding an agricultural mini-empire, as the chaos of the Federation's slow collapse has lead to a decline in technology and dozens of minor conflicts and wars as everyone fights everyone else for supremacy over the now independent space colonies. Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: X-11: Released from 2021 to 2022. It takes place in the Jupiter Sphere, and tells the story of what Curtis Rothko was doing during the events of Dust, depicting his "final battle". Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Love & Piece: Released from 2022. An anthology of side-stories featuring characters from the Crossbone Gundam. The first part is a prequel about Karras, an agent of the Jupiter Empire.Character page currently under construction here.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_107edaa4	comment	Comforting the Widow: The farmer on Earth implies this happened with him and Berah, though we don't actually know if it's true. She could probably be forgiven after holding out a decade for her Chaste Hero boyfriend (Kincade seems to view himself and Berah Ronah as separate individuals from Seabook Arno and Cecily Fairchild, bound by common ideals rather than love) and then watching a pretty convincing fiery death by atmospheric reentry — though it's also never brought up again and doesn't get in the way of their Babies Ever After.

Unfortunately, the microbe is also deadly lethal to humans. A potential weapon that certain Jovian hardliners are keen on offering to the Zanscare Empire in their quest to wipe out Earth.

They're basically extra defense with no energy requirements and are used in a number of clever improvisations throughout the series. The fact that they're dark also makes them appear to be practically invisible at longer distances, as enemies can only see their heads. One of which is black itself.

Berah, who was standing nearby, gently bops him with a book and points out that quite a few members of the crew still believe in it, and he shouldn't say things like that so casually or he might get killed. Presumably, these are the crewmen who join Zabine during his Face–Heel Turn in Volume 3.

On top of the obvious Death or Glory Attack element, this means it doesn't possess any other melee weapons. On top of that, said design means its main camera can only cover the right side of its body, meaning that it has an absolutely titanic blind spot. And yet Tobia manages to kick ass in one of these...

It's a Ball with a Gundam-looking faceplate (which makes it actually worse than a regular Ball because the plate ruins the balance of the machine). In its sortie at the battle of Solomon, it not only managed to destroy six Doms, but also turn the tide of the whole battle (Anavel Gato left his post because of reports of the Gundam's severed head floating around, allowing Amuro to sneak in) and making all of Zeon believe that the Federation had a 40-meter tall Gundam, all thanks to Umon's guts and a lot of luck. "Project E", a Zeon experiment that everyone forgot. Long story short : NEWTYPE MONKEYS. Piloting legless, four-armed Zakus. And proving themselves to be actual threats. Good lord.

When Tobia goes to ask Kincade for help in Steel 7, he finds out they now have two kids, and plays the trope out all the way by not meeting them, since he doesn't want to destroy their happiness...

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_5e782d0c	comment	Super Prototype: All four Crossbones. X-3 in particular has all kinds of cutting-edge tech that makes it a cut above many of the other units in the series. They even complete the weaker production model portion of this trope with the XM-10 Flint, the only production model in Gundam history to possess a Core Fighter. Steel Seven introduces the F99 "Recordbreaker", a descendant of the F91 and Crossbone series (the Crossbones are techically F97s) that are the first MS to use the Wings of Light later seen in Usso Evin's V2 Gundam. Ghost introduced the EMS-TC 02 Phantom Gundam, which is based on the Recordbreaker, though because Jupiter did not have the resources to create a perfected Minovsky Drive, this resulted in an incomplete mobile suit with a lack of balance between the two technologies and was abandoned as a failure. Averted with the F91, however. Given that the mass-production models seen in when the Crossbone Vanguard encounters them are as powerful as the original version seen in Mobile Suit Gundam F91.

It's all a Stealth Pun on the fact that ST is a group that doesn't officially exist. The Amakusa, which is powered by a clone of Amuro Ray's brain, is named for Shiro Amakusa, a famous Japanese christian martyr who lead a rebellion against the Shogunate. In addition to being young Japanese warriors who both died performing a Heroic Sacrifice, Amakusa was, like Amuro, said to have mysterious powers and died while leading an assault on a major fortress.

Skull Heart shows how Umon did it, with a modified Ball called the 'B-Gundam' - basically a regular Ball with a heavy mask on the front. Half of those kills were through the power of intimidation (the B-Gundam looks like the head of a 40 meter tall Gundam), and the other half were a combination of blind luck and rage at his Cool Big Sis commander being threatened.

Those familiar with the source material, however, would notice that Tarzan eventually becomes disillusioned with civilization and longs to leave it all which also hints to Grey Stoke/Judau Ashta's true agenda.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_d40e1a9f	comment	Break Out the Museum Piece: In an attempt to escape Side 3, Font Baud manages to not only get a Zaku II to run, but also survive inside it in one piece. Keep in mind that said mobile suit is a 70 years old relic from the One Year War. It helps that the colony also happened to be known once upon a time as Zeon. The fact that said Zaku is too old to register properly in Victory-era computer systems also ment that it could dodge attacks more easily. Hilariously, he's forced to continue flying the Zaku II as the series continues because the Crossbone Vanguard has no spare suits for him to use. Dust eventually throws Font a bone by giving him the Noir Wraith, a mass-produced Phantom. More than half of all of the suit designs in Dust were made by locating the parts for iconic past mobile suits and cobbling together new battle-ready suits from them, since non-disadvantaged original designs are in short supply. This culminates in Moon Moon recovering a mint-condition Psyco Gundam, and a stash of Psycoframe to power it up even further.

Interestingly, when asked if he's met Amuro Ray, he flat out denies it; Yuichi Hasegawa, Crossbone's artist (and the writer for Skull Heart) also did a manga called Mobile Suit vs. Giant God: Gigantis' Counterattack, which is more colloquially known as Gundam vs. Ideon, and has Amuro team up with Judau to prevent Zeon remnants from reawakening Ideon.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_e51d31f0	comment	Giant Robot Hands Save Lives: Wonderfully averted in Steel Seven. Bernadette has the chance to save a falling Tobia and Europa with the X1 like this, but thinks better of it. She then uses the X1's cape and mouth exhaust to save them with an impromptu hot air balloon.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_e543a655	comment	Light Is Not Good: The angelic looking Divinidad mobile armor has enough nukes to wipe out most life on earth, and is piloted by the Big Bad Emperor himself. Even worse, there's more than one of them!. Angel's Call is an extraterrestrial microbe that is both extremely contagious and lethal to human beings.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_e8e56799	comment	Blue-and-Orange Morality: Dougatie and his more extreme devotees like to claim that because Jupiter is so far removed from Earth and the challenges of life there so hard, they have "evolved" beyond the Earth Sphere's humans and should be considered a different "species"note none of these people are biologists, and this is not what the word "species" means entirely, with a different set of emotions and set of moral values. It's basically Zeon's Spacenoid supremacism taken to an even greater extreme. Tobia himself wonders if this might have some merit a few times when seeing the extremes they're willing to go to, but eventually decides that this is a bunch of crap, and that the Jovians are just as human as the people in the Earth Sphere.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_eb4ee9eb	type	Guns Are Worthless
Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_eb4ee9eb	comment	Guns Are Worthless: Played with. Standard MS weapons in UC 0133 tend to be focused around long-range beam gun/rifle battles, with beam shields in wide use and related tactics/strategies, thanks in part to the Gundam F91's performance. The Crossbone Gundams are designed to take advantage of this with overpowering melee abilities (their Beam Zambers can easily cut through standard beam shields). The guns themselves aren't worthless here, but they're overused to the point of liability.

In Ghost, it's revealed that Bernadette commissioned and took part in a manned expedition to the Solar System's outer planets which was also in part an excuse for Tobia to find the remaining Gundam parts from Steel Seven. It was on this voyage that the crew discovered "Angel's Call" and that Bernadette gave birth to Belle.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam (Manga) / int_f06b07ff	comment	Subverted in that it's ultimately pointless, since the Jovians execute returned POW's as punishment for wasting valuable resources. The Vanguard keeps doing it because it's what Berah wants; to that end, everyone makes sure she doesn't learn about the executions because she's already got enough to deal with and the knowledge would only burden her further.
