Newtype Rising isn’t just the name of the set—it’s a call to action for fans, collectors, and players ready to elevate their strategy and step into the cockpit. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, or The Origin, this booster box is your gateway to commanding your favorite factions and rewriting the history of the Universal Century.

What’s Inside the Booster Box [GD01]

Each Newtype Rising Booster Box contains:

• 24 Booster Packs
• 12 cards + 1 token per pack
• Multiple card rarities, including:

  • Common, Uncommon, Rare

  • Super Rare (SR), Leader Cards

  • Foil Parallel & Alternate Art Variants

  • Potential Secret Rare Pulls

• Featuring Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow card types
• Includes powerful Red-focused Neo Zeon units and pilots from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack and Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

This set is crafted to give players a robust deck-building experience straight from the start. The strategic color system is reminiscent of other Bandai titles like One Piece Card Game and Dragon Ball Super, offering a blend of tempo, control, and aggressive swarm tactics depending on your chosen faction.

Key Themes and Card Highlights

The GD01 set focuses on capturing the most iconic battles and factions from early Gundam titles, primarily the Universal Century timeline.

• Red – Aggressive decks built around Neo Zeon & Char Aznable
• Blue – Tactical flexibility with the Earth Federation and iconic White Base units
• Green – Versatile decks with strong defensive and combo mechanics
• Yellow – Tech-heavy strategies and high-damage burst potential

Look out for Leader Cards, which define your deck’s theme and add unique gameplay mechanics. These powerful character cards often include famous pilots like:

• Char Aznable
• Amuro Ray
• Kamille Bidan
• Full Frontal

Rare and foil parallel cards highlight high-impact mobile suits like the Sazabi, Unicorn Gundam, RX-78-2, and Sinanju, with alt-art designs that make them ideal for collectors and showcase decks.

Why This Set Matters

Newtype Rising is the first-ever booster box in Bandai’s Gundam Card Game, marking a historic release for the franchise and TCG scene alike. It’s more than just a trading card product—this is a collector’s milestone and a competitive foundation.

For new players, the set is built to be accessible, offering easy-to-understand rules with deep tactical options. For seasoned Bandai TCG veterans, it brings a familiar turn-based system and card rarity structure optimized for drafting, sealed play, and constructed formats.

Cards from this set will hold long-term value for players who get in early. As Bandai expands the format globally, GD01 products will become rarer—especially first-print boxes from the Japanese release.

At Crunch Arcade, we’re proud to bring Newtype Rising directly to fans across the UAE and GCC. With Gundam’s legacy growing stronger in the region and more card game communities forming around titles like One Piece and Digimon, this booster box is your chance to be part of the next big TCG wave before it even lands globally.
