Back in 2018, we saw a Japanese engineer build a giant 8.5-meter-tall robot inspired by his favorite anime show, “Mobile Suit Gundam”. Now, Japan has another Gundam robot that is even bigger and taller than the previous model and it has started walking around now.
Now, since the start of its construction back in January, there has been a lot of setbacks in the development of this giant robot due to the ongoing pandemic. However, the team of workers continued to build the robot, and now, according to a video by a Twitter user, it seems like the “Giant Gundam Yokohama” is ready to wreak havoc in the country.

In the video, we can see that the robot moving its legs to come forward, kneel down on one knee, raise its hands with one finger pointing upwards, and then going back to its previous position. Fans of the anime series have been quite excited about seeing this robot in real life when the Gundam theme park opens up to the public later this year.
