Here the Munzo Empire's great philosopher Chairman Zeon Deikun would prepare a declaration before an assembly of senators, but before finishing his speech would fall victim to a sudden attack on the parliament's dais. Almost instantly, on the streets, the masses have risen calling for independence and have set protests in front of Earth Federation headquarters on Side-3. The calls for Earthnoids to return to their planet eventually would push the Federation to take up arms hoping to combat these riots. The hostilities pit men versus tanks on the streets of this colony and appear to not be letting up. Meanwhile, Deikun's family, including his children Artesia and Casval, are soon taken into hiding by a Zeon loyalist—Ramba Ral. Review: Grate quality book - Amazing story and art I love the quality of this book it has some weight to it. And the paper used is like something from a magazine it doesn’t feel like your reading a manga Review: THE ORIGIN finally gets into New Revalations - This is a fantastic read. Unlike previous volumes, which reworked the original formula and plot of the tv series, this volume breaks into new ground, deserving the title "The Origin," and provides revelations about Char and Sayla's backstory. If you have ever wondered how Char and Sayla grew up, this is a must read. The first half of the novel is particularly tantalizing. It introduces the politics in Side 3, explores the families of Zeon, Zabi, and Ral, and many secondary characters get extended back stories, such as my personal favorite Ramba Ral. The first half is a thriller, as Char and Sayla try to escape the Zabi clutches. The second half is much slower, but it continues to explore Char and Sayla's character development, and their maturation. For Char fans, this is must read. No other manga or anime has really delved into Char's character like this before. His actions and his psychological development in this novel are absolutely chilling and foreshadows the man he will become. As with previous editions, the quality of the pages, artwork, and finish is top-notch.

Check it out! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing quality, great Origin stories. *by A***R on August 5, 2016* If you already have read/seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam, then you can actually just start with this volume and go forward from here. Basically, this volume covers the first of the ORIGINS anime films, which is Char and Saylas origin story. It also covers the rise of Zeon, and the roots of the original series. The next books continue the origin story, and go into the battle of Loum and Laylas importance ad well. The artwork is beautiful, and every chapter starts with full color, then progresses back to black and white. There are also extras, like interviews, sketches, ect. I don't regret starting on volume 5 because this is where it gets really interesting, and this is what the Origin Films have covered, and will continue to cover as they premier. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mobile Suit Gundam: THE ORIGIN 5: Char & Sayla - Mobile Suit Gundam: THE ORIGIN 4: Jaburo - Mobile Suit Gundam: THE ORIGIN 6: To War --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2224636-mobile-suit-gundam-the-origin-5-char-and-sayla](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2224636-mobile-suit-gundam-the-origin-5-char-and-sayla) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
