The Golden New Year Theory
Author: Kojiman | Archival Reboot: 2026
It’s that time of year again. In this archival piece, we revisit the strong hunch that the New Year's lineup must feature a "Mobile Suit with a Golden Body." Does the data support this personal jinx?
■ Historical Year-End Analysis
- 2020.01.01: Hyaku Shiki (The absolute peak of gold)
- 2021.01.08: Gundam Mk-V (Not gold, but a titan of its era)
- 2022.01.01: Dag Doll (The sunrise in G-Sign format)
Despite the facts, the gut feeling remains. If we seek a "Gold Powerhouse," the list of candidates is elite:
- MSN-001 Delta Gundam
- Land Combat Hyaku Shiki Kai
- RX-0 Phenex (The ultimate golden dream)
■ The Verdict: The "Sun" Rises
The actual 2022 unit, Dag Doll, wasn't gold. But its silhouette—majestic and steady—mirrors the "Hatsuhinode" (First Sunrise). My theory manifested not in color, but in divine energy. In GBO2, sometimes the sun is more important than the gold.
Happy hunting in the New Year!
