The cover of 'Mobile Suit Gundam: Rust Horizon' Volume 6 prominently features Char Aznable's iconic red Zaku II, signaling the legendary 'Red Comet's' highly anticipated appearance on the North American front.
The One Year War just got more complicated. Shueisha has officially released Volume 6 of "Mobile Suit Gundam: Rust Horizon" today. Written by Hiroyuki Yoshino, this series has been gaining significant traction among Universal Century fans for its grounded, gritty depiction of the North American front.
The Story So Far: An Uneasy Truce
In this latest volume, the stakes escalate dramatically. After escaping from Zeon forces and surviving concentrated fire from both sides, the protagonist Remia finds herself trapped in a collapsed underground cavity with Leo. This desperate situation forces a shift in perspective.
Remia learns the truth about the "real enemy" that drove Icelina to the battlefield, leading to a temporary truce between her and Leo. Their journey for information leads them to a lawless "town that shouldn't exist," further expanding the lore of the conflict in North America.
Enter The Red Comet
The biggest selling point of Volume 6 is undoubtedly the confirmed appearance of the legendary "Red Comet," Char Aznable. Whenever Char enters a side story, the canon implications become electric. For fans of the Universal Century, seeing Char operating on the North American front adds a new, rich layer to the timeline established in the original 1979 series.
Building the "Ground War" Aesthetic
While there is no official "Rust Horizon Gundam" model kit yet, the series perfectly captures the heavy, dirt-and-oil aesthetic of the 08th MS Team era. This manga delivers a faithful representation of the mechanical wear and tear expected in long-term ground campaigns.
To capture the vibe of Rust Horizon, we recommend building the HG Origin line or the classic Ground Type suits. With Char making his move in this volume, it is also an excellent time to assemble a Zaku II to celebrate the Red Comet's return.
