This chapter officially introduced the "Real" Mushas, mushas with realistic proportions, into the Musha Gundam storyline. The concept was well received in the model kits and so "Real" Mushas became common in future series.

The characters of this chapter are derived from the mobile weapons from Mobile Suit V Gundam. The BB Senshi kits of this chapter are compatible with parts of kits from the previous chapters.
