Technical and Historical Notes

The aptly-named Ultimate Gundam was designed by Dr. Raizo Kasshu and his son Kyoji of the Neo Japan space colony. More than a mere mobile fighter, the Ultimate Gundam was created for one grand purpose: to restore Earth to its original condition, after it had been ruined by many wars and the Gundam Fights. The Kasshus planned to do this by employing nanotechnology in the Ultimate Gundam with three great principles: self-evolution, self-replication and self-regeneration. Presumably, these nanotech cells would be spread all over Earth and bond with the soil to re-energize it and promote growth.

Unfortunately, the greed and ambition of two individuals would prevent the Ultimate Gundam from ever achieving what the Kasshus intended. One of these individuals was Dr. Mikamura, a lifelong friend of Raizo's and the designer of the GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam that Neo Japan planned to use in the upcoming 13th Gundam Fight. The other individual was Major Ulube Ishikawa, a former Gundam Fighter who represented Neo Japan in the 12th Gundam Fight. Mikamura was jealous of Raizo's abilities, and Ulube wanted the Ultimate Gundam for his own personal gain. Together, they attempted to falsely arrest the Kasshus and seize the Ultimate Gundam for themselves. Kyoji stole the Ultimate Gundam to keep it out of their hands, but his mother Mikino was killed and Raizo was sentenced to permanent cryogenic freeze. After crashing on Earth, the Ultimate Gundam's systems malfunctioned and it evolved into the monstrous JDG-00X Devil Gundam, and its new imperative was to destroy Earth. Ulube pursued the Devil Gundam with his mobile armor JMA27T Fantoma and a squad of JMS60 Busshis, but his efforts failed. Afterwards, he convinced Raizo's other son Domon to become a Gundam Fighter to chase the Devil Gundam with the promise of freeing Raizo.
