G Gundam initially ran at a time when the West was still overtly sensitive about German words, so Gundam Spiegel was renamed Shadow Gundam for the English Dub. The name was kept, but they obviously don't care as much anymore since the box arts in the shop aren't edited and still show the machine's original name.
@@DarkShadowOblivion And with Burning Gundam, Originally it was called God Gundam but was change due to religious group doesnt want their kids to think god = giant robot, then again, i kinda like the change since it mix well with other Neo japan fighter like Shining gundam and Rising gundam
I kinda like that Gundam Spiegel has that crossbone vibe, even the chest look like Den'an Zon
I wonder why they can't use the name Spiegel for english version?
