The MSN-06S Sinanju (aka Sinanju, MSN-06S) is a mobile suit featured in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. It is the modified version of Anaheim Electronics's MSN-06S Sinanju Stein and the successor unit to Char Aznable's MSN-04 Sazabi. It is piloted by Full Frontal.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Edit
Originally the MSN-06S Sinanju Stein developed by Anaheim Electronics as part of the Earth Federation's "UC Project", its movable frame is partly made from psycoframe materials. Data obtained regarding the unit's responsiveness and capabilities was later used to complete the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. Although the Sinanju was based on the MSN-04 Sazabi, and equipped with a psycommu system. the machine features no Newtype-use weaponry such as funnels, challenging its existing design and basic performance as a mobile suit.
To compensate for this the Sinanju boasts high mobility and features large thrusters mounted in a wing-like arrangement on its back. Sporting multiple vernier thrusters throughout its frame, the unit is capable of achieving precise movements and high speeds.
Its overwhelming combat ability, crimson body and mono-eye sensors remind all who see it of the legendary "Red Comet".
Armaments
Edit
- Beam Axe
- The Sinanju is also armed with two beam axes, stored on it's shield. The beam axes can form a naginata to take down multiple enemies. Additionally, the axes can also be used while attached to the front of the shield. When activated, the beam blade expands beyond the shield's cover area, taking on an appearance resembling that of a beam shield.
- Beam Rifle
- The standard long-range weapon of the Sinanju, it can be used to shoot down missiles or weak mobile suits. Unlike conventional beam rifles, the Sinanju's beam rifle is powered directly by the mobile suit's power plant rather than traditional E-caps, making it a versatile and powerful weapon. The rifle can also be armed with either a grenade launcher or rocket bazooka.
- Beam Saber
- Stored within each forearm, they can also be used while attached externally to the arms. The Unicorn Gundam inherits this mechanism.
- Grenade Launcher
- Can be mounted on the underside of either the beam rifle or the shield.
- Rocket Bazooka
- An alternative armament for the Sinanju, it carries 5 rounds in its clip. It can also be combined with the beam rifle.
- Shield
- A long shield that is used for defense. It can store the grenade launcher and beam axes.
- Vulcan Gun
System Features
Edit
- External Propellant Tank
- As a high-performance mobile suit, the MSN-06S Sinanju is equipped with exceptionally powerful thrusters. While these thrusters allow the Sinanju to attain incredibly high acceleration, they consume fuel at a high rate. To compensate, the Sinanju can be equipped with a pair of back-mounted external propellant tanks which substantially increase the amount of fuel the Sinanju can carry, thus increasing the mobile suits operational flight time. When the fuel is depleted, the tanks can be ejected to decrease mass.
- Psycoframe Cockpit
- The Psycoframe is a technology that builds the brainwave-to-machine code translator known as Psycommu into the atom-level of the metal frame of a Mobile Suit. This allows a Newtype pilot to mentally connect with their mobile suits operating system, similar to the bio-sensor, and input commands direct from the mind via brainwaves. The technology is incomplete and many commands must still be imputed via traditional controls. Arguably, a mobile suit with a psycoframe and Newtype pilot will have a greater response time than an ordinary suit and pilot.
History
Edit
Neo Zeon steals MSN-06S Sinanju Stein
Edit
The Sinanju is based upon the MSN-06S Sinanju Stein, a variant of the MSN-04 Sazabi and was created by Anaheim Electronics to aid in development of the new NT-D System. The resulting data was used by Anaheim to complete the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. In U.C. 0094, the Sinanju Stein was stolen (disguised as a transfer) by the remnants of Neo Zeon, "The Sleeves". After the Sleeves modified the Sinanju Stein, it would be piloted by their leader, Full Frontal.

Notes
Edit
- The Sinanju's named is derived from a fictional style of martial arts that came from a paperback book series known as "The Destroyer".
- Though it has a tremendous speed as seen on the OVA, in Gundam Memories: Tatakai no Kioku, Sinanju is classified as a "short" unit, instead of "speed" unit.
- The Sinanju's model number (MSN-06S) is almost identical to the MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type that Char once piloted, which is a clear play on its pilot Full Frontal being "The Second Coming of Char". Another gag is that Sinanju is described as moving "at three times the speed" of a Geara Zulu, which is what Char's MS-06S Zaku II Commander's Type is described as compared to a normal Zaku II.
