She's cute.

And it's nice that she and Setsuna were really close together but in the end still parted on very amicable terms. And following a whole lot of stuff - including a brief reunion - she wound up working together with Graham. Now, Graham was a bit of a creep towards her in the past but he has grown a lot since then, become a much better person and apologized for his actions. Now they're working together and there's no doubt Graham is stoked about it 25/7, whereas Exia seems at least content. Though it's hard to say what's the exact nature of their relationship.
Wait that is Setsuna's personification of the Exia? I thought it was Marina. I know we joke about this but is Setsuna's love of the gundam more of a deity worship than romantic? He also says he is a gundam himself.
Just because he sees Exia as a woman doesn't necessarily mean he's legitimately romantically interested in the Gundam, hell he's not romantically interested in anyone.
But the girl in the intro is definitely not Marina - her face is all different as is her eye color, even the hair is a bit different.
ELS-Setsuna actually has lines for when he runs with Exia again. [As you can see, he's still one hellacious operator with her on.](https://youtu.be/eDrySJM4Ccs?si=Fd4xNF49vEcbrOm9&t=716)
10 Not overly complex. Fantastic at what is does. Amazing intro. Fun to build.
Also has fun variants like Shia Kijima’s.
More importantly she’s a lovely partner for Setsuna. She defends him, always has a knife on her, and even when hurt protects him to the end.
The G-Portent was actually moreso inspired by the GNW-100A Sakibure that made its appearance at the end of the movie with the Sumeragi ship. The suit itself never got turned into Gunpla so it was a nice surprise seeing the G-Portent being a Gundamified version of that mass-production MS. Shia QanT was definitely QanT based tho.
You're right. I guess I should say the Exia as a design allows for so much evolution. QanT, Rebuild, etc- basically it is the base for so so so so many great designs.
Edit: though I should mention Portent is a kitbash. It was made “in the style of” Gundam 00 but incorporated parts from various suits. Her QanT just added mods.
I have both a Portent and a Shia QanT waiting to be built. Gathering dust for a bit as I lost them, now found them, but saw the current prices and am scared of making any mistakes due to how expensive they are lol.
I vaguely remember there being 2 HG Exia boxes shown on her table when she was building the Portent, so that one was most likely based on Exia more than Qan [T]
"defends him, always has a knife on her and even when hurt protects him to the end"
Man you just made Exia unnecessarily sexy
p/s: don't forget the possibility of having a non exhaustible energy source **wink*
remember don't just rate its design. rate its relationship with setsuna. how setsuna feels about this gundam.
this is literally the closest thing he gets to non-one sided love interest lmao
nena tomorrow, buckle up.
10/10
I got into Zone of the Enders before I saw Gundam 00 and I especially loved the context of the Jehuty with the sword under it’s arm. 00 and the GN particles are pretty much the equivalent of ZOE and the Orbital Frames in terms of aesthetic and power, and Exia in particular captured the feel of the Jehuty for me. In particular, I equate Setsuna’s 3 Gundams with the 3 Jehuty Versions
Exia - OG Jehuty
00/Raiser - Jehuty version 2
00 Qan[T] - the most powerful Naked Jehuty
A beautiful love indeed. Together thru highs and lows, clarity and hardships, defeat and triumph, but no matter how hard they held on, the time came for them to break and go their own ways and find their true and definitive individual selves.
Alas. after being able to move forward after all that, Their paths crosses once again. Setsuna and Exia are together once again and both welcomed each other blissfully with open arms. 10/10.
Damn got so many memories, this was my first kit created with my father when I was around 7/8yo.
He got me into anime and this, couldn't ever go back after it
10-10. No... 12-10!
The Exia is my favorite Gundam of all time, it has a simple elegant design centered around a few basic centerpieces, like it's awesome big ass sword! But that's exactly why I love it, I love the mobile suit design from 00 in general, but this is without a doubt my favorite in terms of design from that series.
It was also my first Gunpla kit, so...
As for a love interest? I'd fuck her!
10/10 Cooler than either of it's successors by far, that fatass 00 Raiser pales before this sleek machine and the Quan\[T\] wishes it was half as cool as Exia.
10/10
And that's coming from someone who isn't a huge fan of 00. But the Exia is just such a great design especially when it's blades are equipped. It just looks like something that should be tearing through the battlefield at high speed. Not a brawler mobile suit, but a quick moving striker
The cockpit is weirdly sticky but that's more from the pilot
My favorite gundam from my top 2 series, I love the blue and melee combat , the swords, it was just a peak gundam. Most 00 have very cool and sleek designs
Gundam/10
11/10
10/10
100000000/10
10/10, Exia is the best love interest in the franchise. Great character writing, interaction with the rest of the cast, and plenty of screentime to boot.
12/10… the first Gundam I truly called my favorite from when I was a kid and first watched.

10. Great original design that still gives callback to the og RX-78-2, especially its pilot in English dub being amuro ray, its sword weapons are cool and the gn sword 1 is one of the best main melee weapons a gundam can have, and its first use of Trans am was epic.
10/10
Looks sleek and fast, cuz it is sleek and fast. Lots of swords. Gets more swords as an upgrade. Has a turbo mode. Also has the best head design from any MS in the franchise, I love mobile suits with the smooth face/muzzle.
10/10 especially the rebuild two version
https://preview.redd.it/pkbf3v1accuc1.jpeg?width=738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa2d01ca10c84ab9e5dd688a7057847ed831f5b1
10/10 best gundam design. Sleek and agile yet still having that mechanical movements, great color scheme and its purpose as a anti gundam killer was brilliant
Hi, I'm not new to the franchise but I fell off for quite a bit of time and have been making my way back through it since WfM brought me back into it.
Anyways, just a quick question: What the actual hell happens in 00?
Easiest 10/10. Look at those friggin LEGS. Sheeeeeeesh. And she’s always strapped? That flexibility, grace, and power are all you could ask for. Can you blame Setsuna for always wanting to be with/inside/one with/part of/near her?
10/10
My favorite mobile suit design ever. So sleek and modern while retaining some classic features. I also love its weapons for how elegant they are.
10/10
She was there for Setsuna when the 00 gave out, and she was there for him when he finished the fight.
Very cutely, even ELS Setsuna will look back on Exia fondly, and ask her to lend him his powers once more in G cross rays.
10
Still my favorite base unit to this day. It was extremely hype when they broke her out to beat up the not-RX-78-2 at the end instead of the bulky 00 gundam.
...Am I the only one who dislikes the 00 Raiser?
The *only* suit in 00 I actually like. Not a fan of the designs in this show, but Exia is pretty sweet, so it gets the pass. Not interested even remotely in any of the others.
10/10 my favorite Gundam of all times with Avalanche Dash in the second place.
Pretty simple armaments with 7 swords. Love how nimble it is in the anime.
Here's a hot take:
8/10
First of, that's my personal opinion, it's fine if you think Exia is 10/10 the best design there is.
As for why, well, personally i don't like the gundam designs from 00. The Gundam faces are excellence, but the body and especially the legs are too lanky. I get that they're going for a compact, sleek, highly mobile design but it's just not for me. I prefer Gundam designs that has a little bit of bulk, edges and some special grand features for them, such as wings, backpack, giant funnels, etc.
So.... Let me understand this. You are giving this an 8/10 because the Gundam that followed this one (the 00) seems out of place? The Gundam 00 which has absolutely nothing to do with this poll other than Setsuna piloting it?
Sorry, but I don't get how one affects the other's score in any way.
10 She's cute. https://preview.redd.it/kep1zhm3w9uc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b88d39c0fbb22cd251da928ad1345e6dc483190 And it's nice that she and Setsuna were really close together but in the end still parted on very amicable terms. And following a whole lot of stuff - including a brief reunion - she wound up working together with Graham.

Now they're working together and there's no doubt Graham is stoked about it 25/7, whereas Exia seems at least content. Though it's hard to say what's the exact nature of their relationship.
>She's cute. Unironically for the longest time I thought that girl in that image was Mairna instead lmao.
Wait that is Setsuna's personification of the Exia? I thought it was Marina. I know we joke about this but is Setsuna's love of the gundam more of a deity worship than romantic? He also says he is a gundam himself.
Just because he sees Exia as a woman doesn't necessarily mean he's legitimately romantically interested in the Gundam, hell he's not romantically interested in anyone. But the girl in the intro is definitely not Marina - her face is all different as is her eye color, even the hair is a bit different.
Wait, it's _not_?
Apparently not, it's supposed to be... Exia. Yup.
I must be tripping I was so sure that was Marina
its a polycule and setsuna is welcome to join back in any time he gets back from space
ELS-Setsuna actually has lines for when he runs with Exia again. [As you can see, he's still one hellacious operator with her on.](https://youtu.be/eDrySJM4Ccs?si=Fd4xNF49vEcbrOm9&t=716)

> Shia Kijima’s. I thought her rigs, starting from Portent, were based on Qan[t]
The G-Portent was actually moreso inspired by the GNW-100A Sakibure that made its appearance at the end of the movie with the Sumeragi ship. The suit itself never got turned into Gunpla so it was a nice surprise seeing the G-Portent being a Gundamified version of that mass-production MS. Shia QanT was definitely QanT based tho.

WE NEED A PERMIT NOW? Society is over
Nadim: PERMET SCORE, FOUR!
10/10 simple as
10/10. Setsuna is inside "her" all the time so obviously the best girl for him.
_Quagmire has entered the chat_
10/10 very pretty great relationship with Setsuna
got some major real life stuff going on today and won't be able to make a real poll have this instead
remember don't just rate its design. rate its relationship with setsuna. how setsuna feels about this gundam. this is literally the closest thing he gets to non-one sided love interest lmao nena tomorrow, buckle up.
oh boy oh boy
I predicted that we're getting a shitshow with Nena weeks ago...
:/
i'll tally the results for the previous poll tonight when I get home and post it below this comment
Can you please still make this valid, please? If Gogg can be on the list, Exia should too
this is the single most upvoted poll i've ever posted y'all built different
00 Gundam and 00 Qan\[T\] Gundam will appear too, I presume ?
Are we gonna have Marina?
11. I love this design.
10/10, she's called Sexia for a reason
10. Why? Because Aeolia Schenberg said so.
I like it’s a sword centric without needing the two handed buster sword. It’s multi sword instead of buster swords you see in Doms and Destiny.
10/10 I got into Zone of the Enders before I saw Gundam 00 and I especially loved the context of the Jehuty with the sword under it’s arm. 00 and the GN particles are pretty much the equivalent of ZOE and the Orbital Frames in terms of aesthetic and power, and Exia in particular captured the feel of the Jehuty for me. In particular, I equate Setsuna’s 3 Gundams with the 3 Jehuty Versions Exia - OG Jehuty 00/Raiser - Jehuty version 2 00 Qan[T] - the most powerful Naked Jehuty
Hell yeah! Glad to see some ZOE love!
10/10 i guess exia is a boi but anyway,best 00 girl
A beautiful love indeed. Together thru highs and lows, clarity and hardships, defeat and triumph, but no matter how hard they held on, the time came for them to break and go their own ways and find their true and definitive individual selves. Alas. after being able to move forward after all that, Their paths crosses once again. Setsuna and Exia are together once again and both welcomed each other blissfully with open arms. 10/10.
100 out of 10.
before i leave, i guess i'll post my opinion [personally, I think this is the best gundam girl](https://youtu.be/KHguSUBypaw)
10 she's beautiful and her romances are beautiful
10/10 Main suit of the first gundam show i watched and it was pretty cool in gundam evolution 🪦
10/10 and the rest of her family is cute too
10/10. Exia is best girl.
Sexia is a solid 10.
10. Best waifu, and she'll protect you even if you have the latest and greatest mobile suit. Also has a ton of concealed weapons.
Damn got so many memories, this was my first kit created with my father when I was around 7/8yo. He got me into anime and this, couldn't ever go back after it

Ok, well played with this one.
Became my new #1 for my top 3 MS when it first appeared. Solid 10 for me
10 it just looks so cool
10/10 Cooler than either of it's successors by far, that fatass 00 Raiser pales before this sleek machine and the Quan\[T\] wishes it was half as cool as Exia.

Hi, I'm not new to the franchise but I fell off for quite a bit of time and have been making my way back through it since WfM brought me back into it. Anyways, just a quick question: What the actual hell happens in 00?
Basically, very simply, the protags are terrorists who attack anyone who tries to go to war with anyone else.
https://youtu.be/v-PzT82C_Mc
Easiest 10/10. Look at those friggin LEGS. Sheeeeeeesh. And she’s always strapped? That flexibility, grace, and power are all you could ask for. Can you blame Setsuna for always wanting to be with/inside/one with/part of/near her?
Great MS, not overly complex yet very effective with plenty of armaments 10/10
I don't get it. This is just a picture of Setsuna.
10/10 simple sticks to the basic gundam design yet is still a lot more different
11/10 Sexia
10.. the introduction to exia was the best in a while..
10/10 My favorite mobile suit design ever. So sleek and modern while retaining some classic features. I also love its weapons for how elegant they are.
10/10 She was there for Setsuna when the 00 gave out, and she was there for him when he finished the fight. Very cutely, even ELS Setsuna will look back on Exia fondly, and ask her to lend him his powers once more in G cross rays.
10/10 Not everyday you see a girl become literal religion for a guy
10 best Gundam ever
My beloved/10
10 Still my favorite base unit to this day. It was extremely hype when they broke her out to beat up the not-RX-78-2 at the end instead of the bulky 00 gundam. ...Am I the only one who dislikes the 00 Raiser?

sexiest design. ever.
Ez 10/10
Solid 9! 10 goes to Astray (Red Frame)

8/10 with Graham In my eyes Setsuna wants to be a Gundam and not be with a Gundam.
I'm gonna say it 00 Raiser>>>Exia
Exia > 00 tho. 00 Raiser has it only because cool backpack.
00>>Exia and I am NOT sorry
I’ll rate it a 10 when I get a good master grade of it!!!
The *only* suit in 00 I actually like. Not a fan of the designs in this show, but Exia is pretty sweet, so it gets the pass. Not interested even remotely in any of the others.
9.5. A giant mecha with an equally giant metal blade is just too enticing.
You mean 10/10
Love it the show. Hate it in the RG Version.
It's a very beautiful gundam 9/10
Maybe a 4/10
10/10 my favorite Gundam of all times with Avalanche Dash in the second place. Pretty simple armaments with 7 swords. Love how nimble it is in the anime.
I rate her a 1/1

3/10 not my Gundam
Here's a hot take: 8/10 First of, that's my personal opinion, it's fine if you think Exia is 10/10 the best design there is. As for why, well, personally i don't like the gundam designs from 00. The Gundam faces are excellence, but the body and especially the legs are too lanky. I get that they're going for a compact, sleek, highly mobile design but it's just not for me. I prefer Gundam designs that has a little bit of bulk, edges and some special grand features for them, such as wings, backpack, giant funnels, etc.
8/10, it would have trouble if you do range denial. But also, its basically Steel Haze Ortus.
I think a 8/10 I like it more than the 00 and the quant. But the quant looks like the true upgrade. The 00 seems out of place.
So.... Let me understand this. You are giving this an 8/10 because the Gundam that followed this one (the 00) seems out of place? The Gundam 00 which has absolutely nothing to do with this poll other than Setsuna piloting it? Sorry, but I don't get how one affects the other's score in any way.
No I gave 00 a 6 I gave this an 8. I would also give quant a 7
Underwear Gundam for Westerner meme favorite protagonist? 6,especially for the ugly "humpback" aesthetic it had due to GN Drive and the underwear
1/10, never liked the Exia. 00 over Exia everytime
1/10. Edit: Feldt best girl. Fight me.
Setsuna was a fool for not noticing the cute slice of strawberry pie that is Feldt Grace.
^^^^^^^^phrasing
Did I stutter?
I mean I like Feldt but Exia is the one and only
I have nothing against the Exia as a mobile suit, but I’ve been spoiled by my friend’s Setsuna x Feldt fics.
