Technical and Historical Notes

The 忍ノ参 Ninpulse Gundam was a custom Gunpla built by Nils Nielsen. It was based on the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam from the 2004-05 anime TV series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY. Like Nils’ prior 侍ノ弐 Sengoku Astray Gundam, the Ninpulse Gundam was inspired by Japanese culture, but this time was based on a ninja rather than a samurai. In keeping with the ninja theme, the Ninpulse Gundam was designed for high mobility and stealthy movement. The Ninpulse Gundam’s backpack was made up of eight wings, four of which were armed with beam guns/sabers. The wings could wrap around the body as a defensive measure, or detach and combine to form a massive shuriken known as the “Tenku Jujiken.” The Ninpulse Gundam’s forearms were also equipped with a pair of swords named “Gen’ei Kochoken.” When the Gunpla Mafia set a trap for Sei Iori and his friends at the newly built Yajima Stadium, Nils used the Ninpulse Gundam to single-handedly battle multiple GM-themed enemy units.
