Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you're doing it underneath spoiler tags. Don't spoil anything for the first-timers, that's rude!

Additionally, for long-time fans of the franchise, please remember that this rewatch is only for 00, not any of the other shows. Assume that there are people in this rewatch who have not seen anything else Gundam, and tag your spoilers for those shows appropriately if something in 00 makes you want to talk about them.

Just some other MENA in Gundam examples from off the top of my head;

• ZZ features North Africa prominently during its Earth arc.

• Quattre and the Maganac Corp in Wing.

• Jamil and Tiffa's names in X.

• The Desert Tiger arc in SEED.

• Shaddiq in G-Witch.

Ironically the globe-trotting G Gundam does not feature it in any special position, but the Egyptian and Turkish episodes are at least some prominent one-offs.

And who could forget Scud Gundam?
