Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (機動武闘伝Zガンダム Kidō Sensi Zēta Gandamu) is the second television series in Sunrise's long-running Gundam franchise, airing on Nagoya TV, TV Asahi, and Animax for 50 episodes between March 2, 1985, and February 22, 1986. The series takes a darker tone than the original series, following main protagonist Kamille Bidan, a brash teenager who gets caught up in the Gryps Conflict, seven years after the events of Mobile Suit Gundam.
For the series' 20th anniversary, a trilogy of compilation film remakes called Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation premiered between 2004 and 2006. Most of the footage in these films were reanimated, but some of the footage from the original series was kept intact, often cutting between the two styles.
In the Super Robot Wars series, Zeta Gundam would make its debut in the original Super Robot Wars game and later became a mainstay, being one of the most common entries to appear in the series.
Starting from Super Robot Wars Z, the characters use their designs from the New Translation films.
