The results of the "Worldwide Gundam Election 2025" are in. With over 1.33 million valid votes from around the world in ten languages, the V-Gundam from the film "Mobile Suit Gundam – Char’s Counterattack" secured the top position in the overall ranking and also landed first place in the Japanese and Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) individual rankings.
On the subsequent ranks, nine other well-known protagonist Mobile Suits from various series in the franchise followed: the Wing Gundam Zero (Endless Waltz), the Zeta Gundam, the Freedom Gundam, the Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam, the Turn A Gundam, the Gundam F91, the Strike Rouge, the Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex, and the Gundam Aerial. The "Gundam SEED" universe was particularly successful, with three models represented among the top ten.
The analysis by language revealed a varied picture: While the Wing Gundam Zero (Endless Waltz) led the English and Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) rankings, the Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam emerged as the winner in the Simplified Chinese and Korean script votes. Other top performers were the Gundam F91 (Spanish), the Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex (Italian), the Strike Rouge (Thai), and the Gundam Aerial (French).
Additionally, four special awards were presented. The Shining Gundam, placed at overall rank 78, received the "RX-78 Award" in reference to the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam. The "Mafty Award" was secured by the Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound at rank 105, a nod to the year U.C. 0105 featured in the film "Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway". In honor of the upcoming 47th anniversary of the Gundam series, the Ground Type Gundam, chosen at rank 47, was awarded the "Gundam 47th Anniversary Award". A special recognition was given to the Nether Gundam, the representative of Neo-Holland in the "G Gundam" universe, with the "Neo-Holland Award" for its 25th overall rank.
The complete results can be viewed on the election's special website. A video announcing the final rankings is available on the official Gundam YouTube channel.
