“Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” sparks heated discussion among Japanese netizens about “clothing for life in space”! In an environment with unstable gravity, how can anyone still wear a skirt?

The latest work in the Gundam series, “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX,” quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens upon its release. From the production team to the character design, the incredibly imaginative plot design has become the center of the conversation.

In particular, the two female characters wearing skirts in the work have sparked discussions among netizens about whether wearing skirts in a space environment is practical.

In a world where humanity has massively migrated to space, why do people still choose to wear skirts? Especially in space colonies, where one might experience low gravity or zero gravity, is such clothing really suitable? Let’s take a look at what Japanese netizens think about this.

I once pondered this question when I saw a world where magic was widely used. Now, seeing the society of space colonies, in this long-term low-gravity environment, it seems that skirts as clothing should gradually disappear.

Japanese X netizens “Ink Edge” expressed their views on the character design of the newly announced Gundam series work “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX”—

According to the currently released information, the story of “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” is set within a cylindrical space colony, which is common in the Gundam series. Although these space colonies simulate artificial gravity through rotation, they are usually not as strong and stable as Earth. When moving inside the colony or between different colonies, one often has to pass through areas with reduced or even zero gravity.

Therefore, “Inku Edge” questions why there are still two girls in skirts among the main characters. Will skirt culture naturally disappear in this environment of unstable gravity?

 Among the announced characters, there are two girls in skirts.

This topic quickly sparked heated discussions among Japanese netizens, who attempted to analyze the reasons for still wearing skirts in space from different angles.

 The reactions of Japanese netizens are…

 That makes a lot of sense.

Perhaps it is precisely because skirts float in a weightless state that everyone finds them adorable, which is why the trend of pairing skirts with safety pants has become popular.

Even in modern Japan, many high school girls still wear mini skirts barefoot regardless of wind or snow in pursuit of fashion. Therefore, some things cannot be analyzed only from a functional perspective. Cuteness is… justice!

Honestly, I resonate deeply with this~~ Rather than exposing skin for battle, or girls wearing clothing that resembles nudity, I’ve always questioned whether there is a sense of shame in the world of anime?

I believe that people will not give up pursuing fashion due to functional limitations. Perhaps we can add wire support to clothing, or design it to present a stunning appearance in a zero-gravity state, which would give rise to a special trend specifically designed for a zero-gravity environment. Even work clothes and sportswear would likely see improvements in appearance while ensuring safety and functionality.

When I looked at the uniforms in ‘The Witch from Mercury’, I also thought it was a result of the current trend of political correctness. However, as the story progressed, I realized that their frequent activities in zero-gravity conditions made practicality in design the key.

When it comes to ‘The Witch from Mercury,’ I’ve also thought about this issue. I believe that skirts may not necessarily disappear, but wearing pants could become more common in society.

Perhaps this situation will develop into a society where it’s not shameful to see under skirts, haha.

 Trends don’t have to be reasonable; to ride the trend, you have to learn to be patient.

 Of course, it’s to work hard to establish artificial gravity for wearing skirts.

In a world where wearing a skirt symbolizes a status of being able to live in a gravitational environment, it feels very interesting. It’s like low-income individuals being driven to the zero-gravity zone. This perspective is quite fascinating.

Teacher Nagano Hoshimachi proposed such a design long ago, which is truly admirable!! This is a garment and spacesuit for artificial life forms, and it’s a design that has been in the works for over ten years~~

Personally, I believe that in a society with abundant air but low gravity or widespread use of flying vehicles, people’s attire should resemble that of the Dora tribe in ‘Castle in the Sky.’

 Cute is the way to go, I advise you not to meddle!
