NT focuses on explaining the idea of Newtypes in a way that no animated Gundam story ever has before. It’s very much aimed at the veteran Gundam fans but then where it goes from there may make it contentious with that very audience.
Whereas Unicorn tried to at least be workable for those who hadn’t seen the three series and a movie that came before it, NT runs on the idea that you’ve seen all of those combined before you sit down for this. However, Sunrise sequels are quite infamous for never being quite as good as the work that preceded them and I’m sorry to say NT doesn’t really break that pattern. Ultimately it’s not too surprising that Unicorn’s success would net it a sequel, especially given how now the Bandai family of companies are focused on long term franchise development with successful properties. Jona has his own motivations for agreeing to this, concerning a dark secret linking him, Michele and a girl named Rita… When the Phenex re-emerges in the depths of space, she recruits her childhood friend Jona to pilot the Narrative Gundam, a makeshift copy of the Unicorns in an attempt to capture the real thing. With one of those abilities possibly extending to mastery of time and space, their power becomes desirable to Luio & Co heiress Michele, who wants the power to save her dying adoptive father. The incredible abilities both the Unicorn and Banshee displayed in their final battle has led to a fearful humanity to deconstruct them. Picking up one year after the events of the 7-episode OVA, NT focuses on the pursuit of the Phenex, a third Unicorn-model Gundam that was created in spin-off works due to the success the animated project was enjoying. An animated adaptation of the pre-war chapters of The Origin would follow soon after but sadly doesn’t seem to have had the sheer success of the previous project, so Sunrise and Bandai have returned to the Unicorn well for the sequel movie Gundam NT (Narrative). named "Phenex.Surprising as it may seem, it’s now been half a decade since the animated adaptation of Gundam Unicorn came to an end. However, the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, which disappeared two years earlier, is now about to show itself in the Earth Sphere once more. The white unicorn and the black lion were sealed away to remove this danger from people's consciousness, and they should now be completely forgotten.
In its final battle, two full psycho-frame mobile suits displayed power beyond human understanding. The conflict later dubbed the "Laplace Incident" is thought to have ended with the downfall of the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves. 0097, one year after the opening of "Laplace's Box." Despite the revelation of the Universal Century Charter that acknowledges the existence and rights of Newtypes, the framework of the world has not been greatly altered.
