The Universal Century timeline is the heart of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. It's the main timeline, initially the only one, from its 1979 debut until 1994's Mobile Fighter G Gundam. While other timelines exist—Gundam SEED, Gundam 00, and The Witch from Mercury, for instance—the franchise repeatedly returns to this one.

Veteran Gundam fans strongly recommend exploring the Universal Century. Expect a complex socio-political narrative featuring iconic characters and mecha designs perfect for Gunpla enthusiasts. We've compiled a chronological viewing order for the UC Gundam series.

Universal Century Timeline: Complete Chronological Order

This is a challenging undertaking; finding everything might prove difficult. However, for a complete canonical Universal Century experience, this is the path.

Note that several entries shift within their timelines. We've placed them at their earliest story point for clarity.

Due to the sheer volume of content in 0079, we've taken some liberties with the precise order. Feedback is welcome.

Universal Century Timeline: Condensed "Essential" Viewing

A more streamlined approach focuses on the "essential" Universal Century stories. This doesn't diminish the omitted content; some are excellent (like Crossbone Gundam), but this list prioritizes the "vital" narratives.

If Mobile Suit Gundam proves challenging, try the film trilogy first. The original series shows its age, while the films remain strong and offer a more complete final mission. The series provides richer character development.

0080 is included due to personal preference, but isn't strictly necessary.

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX

The name itself is somewhat placeholder. The film compilation of the first three episodes clarifies this.

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX has direct Universal Century connections, despite appearing separate.

Premiering April 8th, 2025, it depicts an alternate One Year War. Therefore, it's not part of the main timeline, but it is Universal Century and deserves its own section.

Set five years after an alternate One Year War conclusion (0085), it's safe to assume post-Mobile Suit Gundam events don't occur in this universe. Divergences begin early in GQuuuuuuX's depiction of the original's opening events.
