Mobile Suit Gundam 00V (機動戦士ガンダム00V Kidou Senshi Gandamu 00V?) (V for Variations) is a side story of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 serialized by Hobby Japan and later compiled into a single book. Initially, it's presented to the reader as chapters of a mobile suit development book published 20 years after the main story/anime, but this was later changed to a short story format. Each chapter also includes photo guides of the featured mobile suit. It ran in Hobby Japan from December 2007 to December 2009 and was continued by Mobile Suit Gundam 00V: Battlefield Record.

Original Characters[]

Robert Spacey - He studies the developmental history of MS. He was initially studying political history, but after experiencing the revolution brought by Celestial Being when he was 30 years old and coincidentally seeing the Avalanche Exia in action, he switched his study to MS development history.

Deborah Galiena - A female mobile suit pilot of the UN inspection team and Earth Sphere Federation Army who became an old acquaintance of Robert Spacey. She is a skilled mobile suit pilot, able to fight against Gundam Exia and survive the battle uninjured.

Amy Zimbalist - An ace pilot of the United Nation Forces and Earth Sphere Federation Army. He is worshiped as a hero known as the "Steel Cowboy" due to his unconventional piloting style with the GNX-604T Advanced GN-X, but also hated as the "Devil of Unification".

Story[]

The 00V features different variations of the Mobile Suit from the series, and provides the stories about them in every chapter ("volumes").
