? Gundam takes place in the year Seireki 2345 , in a different calendar system than the previous Gundam projects. Seireki is a wordplay on the Japanese term for the Common Era (C.E.) Western calendar system . The English acronym CC is Correct Century in the official Japanese ? guide book and Correct Century in English in the 2001 Correct Century A Bibliographical Study of “Black History” as the black paged introduction of Gundam Officials.
After the end of Victory Gundam in early 1994, Yoshiyuki Tomino took a five year hiatus from Gundam. In 1999, he returned to the Gundam franchise with the 50 episode series ? Gundam (read as Turn A Gundam) as part of Sunrise’s “Gundam Big Bang” 20th Anniversary celebration. Set in Correct Century (CC) 2345, this series tells the story of a war between space colonists calling themselves the Moonrace who wish to colonize Earth, and the Earth Militia forces, which use the ancient Turn A Gundam to retaliate. Turn A Gundam is a dramatic depature from the franchise in many ways. Instead of being set in an era of high technology, it is set in a future that has regressed to the early 20th century. Also, the unorthodox design of the title suit comes courtesy of American designer Syd Mead, best known for his work in the film Blade Runner. The series also features the musical talents of Yoko Kanno, who previously worked on Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop and Tomino’s own series Brain Power’d. The series finished its run in early 2000, and in 2002 Tomino directed two compilation films, entitled Earth Light and Moonlight Butterfly. Both the TV series and the movies are now available on DVD in Japan, but they are not available in the U.S.
It is important to note that the “Turn A” (?) in the title of the series is the universal quantifier used in discrete mathematics meaning roughly “all units in a set”. Thus, the title can be translated as For all Gundams. This is neither an oversight, nor just arbitrarily selected symbol used for aesthetic purposes - Gundam creator Tomino clearly intended the series to be a sort of “unification” of the Universal Century and the myriad “alternate universes” into a coherent whole. As such, the series frequently features cameos of existing technology from the widely diverse gundam incarnations, examples to that effect include:
* Several of the mobile suits in the series are clearly from earlier series - the Luziana fiefdom’s proudly maintained army of MS-06 Borjarnon units is, in fact, a collection of excavated MS-05 Zaku I and MS-06 Zaku II units. The AMX-109 Kapool appeared initially in Gundam Double Zeta, and the G-M2F (AMX-102) Zssan appears to be a heavily modified AMX-102 Zssa, also from the aforementioned show.
* In the Turn-A novel and manga, Gwen pilots a machine called the Black Doll, which is described as a giant black Gundam with three beam cannons in its belly and the ability to transform into a box-like form. This description strongly implies that it is, in fact, the MRX-009 Psyco Gundam from Zeta Gundam. The Super Robot Wars and G Generation video games would borrow this concept, having Gwen pilot the Psyco Gundam and calling it “Black Doll”.
* Also from G Generation Spirits which supposed only features UC Gundams, a bonus stage is included which the enemies are cocoons named “System Turn-A”, the Turn-A Gundam itself is also available in full completion status of game, becoming the only non-UC timeline mecha in the game.
* The Turn A Gundam, and associated Earth Militia suits occasionally make use of a ‘Hyper Hammer’, a large, MS scale flail with mounted rocket verniers. The weapon itself bore a striking resemblance to a similar weapon from Mobile Suit Gundam of the same name.
* Eventually, the main character is assigned an excavated land-faring warship identical to Mobile Suit Gundam’s Gallop land battleship. Coincidentally, it is nicknamed “Gallop” to evoke horse-like swiftness, without prior knowledge of its true name.
* Queen Diana’s palace is, in fact, an erected Squid class battleship from Victory Gundam.
* Both introductions, as well as Episode 43, present a montage of scenes from previous series as being part of the apocalyptic “Dark History” preceding the events in ?.
* In one manga adaptation, Sochie finds a Haro while on the Moon. Dianna panics, telling Sochie to get away from it, as the Haro sprouts sharp saw-like teeth. It turns out to be Bug, one of millions of automated killing machines from Gundam F91 disguised as Haro.
* Several characters explicitly mention periods of the Dark History based on the calendar system of their respective series. Most notably the Universal Century calendar system is frequently described as taking place several thousands years before the events in ? Gundam.
* Panicking on the battlefield, Corin Nander, a pilot who supposedly served during the Dark History and was subsequently frozen cryogenically, briefly sees the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero.
Generally, acceptance of this theory is spotty at best. Some fans subscribe to a literal interpretation, attempting to piece together the specific order in which Tomino intended the prior shows take place. However, the 2001 Correct Century, A Bibliographical Study of “Black History”, printed in black pages in front of the Universal Century, Gundam Officials Encyclopedia, that is supposed to be uncovered by a fictional Lecturer in Black History named Yokk Wakk Onimott during Correct Century 1993 who spent 2 years to fix the broken pages, 5 years to interprete the language and a year to find a publisher, stated the book was first printed in around 3000 years ago by the Rhea branch of the Earth Federation Government University, and included a picture found in 1993 Correct Century in the mountain cycle Library A-a drawn by Kunio Okawara showing a mobile suit supposed to be MS-04 as a S.U.I.T. project of the Zeon forces in UC0072~0075 and the white page introduction stated by another fictional writter, Minaka Junkers, an economy assistant professor of the Rhea branch of the Earth Federation Government University, the book was published in UC0100, celebrating the Centennial anniversary of the Universal Century. Thus officially claimed that the Universal Century is a time before Correct Century, possibly around 3000 years before the story of Turn A begins.

One of the more fantastic rumors concerning Turn A is that Tomino wanted to create a series to be a grand union of all his shows (Ideon, Heavy Metal L-Gaim, Zambot 3, etc), not just Gundam.[citation needed] One such rumor states that Tomino wanted the battleship Willgem’s main weapon to be Ideon’s wave leader gun. When he presented the idea to Sunrise, they turned it down and suggested downscaling it to just contain the Gundam saga and its various alternate universes. Fans of Tomino’s works have dubbed this apocryphal work “Turn-A Space”.
