Mobile Suit: Gundam has long presented numerous different interpretations and realities for the decades old mech anime franchise. From Gundam Wing to Mobile Suit: Gundam to G Gundam, the series has found its strength in creating brand new mech suits throughout the years as well as interesting new premises to use them in. Perhaps there is no bigger representation of this than the series of Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise which takes the idea of Gundam and places it into a digital battle environment where the mechs are clashed against one another to prove who is the strongest around. Now, in anticipation for the second season of the series, the franchise has released a brand new poster!
