The Devastating Power of G3 Gas: A Lethal Chemical Weapon

![First Attack on Side 2 01 (Zeta Ep29)”)

The Principality of Zeon’s G3 Gas, also known as “GG Gas” or “G3 Poison Gas,” is a highly potent and fast-acting chemical weapon that was used during the One Week Battle and the One Year War. Its devastating effects led to the loss of millions of lives and its eventual banishment.

Deadly Consequences

G3 Gas is a highly lethal substance that can kill within seconds. Those exposed to it experience rapid loss of motor control, and their skin literally sloughs off. Even those who are further away from the dispersal site die quickly, often without realizing what is happening. The gas’s potency is so extreme that it can wipe out an entire colony’s population, except for those protected by vacuum-sealed space suits.

A History of Horror

The Principality of Zeon initially deployed G3 Gas using a single MS-05 Zaku I, which would burst into a colony and fire a missile containing the deadly payload. The effects were so horrific that the gas was eventually banned by the Antarctic Treaty. However, the Titans later used G3 Gas to quell an anti-Titans protest in the 30 Banchi colony of Side 1, and they attempted to deploy it several times during the Gryps Conflict.

A Legacy of Destruction

G3 Gas has left an indelible mark on the world of Mobile Suit Gundam. Its devastating effects have been witnessed by characters like Ensign Shiro Amada and Amuro Ray, and its legacy continues to serve as a reminder of the horrors of war. The AEUG later used a colony affected by G3 Gas to demonstrate their purpose and rally support against the Titans.

Appearances and References

G3 Gas has appeared in several television series, including Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and has been referenced in various other media. Its impact on the world of Mobile Suit Gundam cannot be overstated, and it remains a powerful symbol of the devastating consequences of war.
