Knight GP01 features in the "SD Gundam Sidestory: The Legend of the Holy Machine Soldiers" segment of the *Mobile Suit SD Gundam Festival* compilation film, adapting the *SD Gundam Gaiden* manga into animation. This version presents him as a full-fledged knight serving King Gundam I, diverging from the manga where he began as Knight GP02's squire before earning knighthood. The anime omits his squire background entirely.
Operating in the fantasy realm "Saddarc World"—where mobile suits embody chivalric warriors—Knight GP01 undertakes quests alongside knights like Burning Knight F91. A key narrative moment involves him discovering Cecily’s lost earring, an event adapted from the manga but reassigned to GP01 instead of F91 in the anime adaptation. The streamlined plot excludes the broader context of King Gundam II and the Knights of the Round Table from the original story.
