Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny is a one volume manga based on the Sega Saturn game developed by Bandai, written and illustrated by Takayama Mizuho, published by Kodansha and serialized by Comic Bom Bom in 1997. The story revolves around Yuu Kajima, who is a soldier with the Earth Federation Forces during the One Year War, testing new technology before it's mass-produced. During a routine battle, he and his teammates come under attack from a mysterious blue Mobile Suit that attacks like a monster, barely escaping with their lives. Returning to base, Yuu is assigned to pilot that same machine - Blue Destiny. As he uses his new machine and clashes with Zeon ace Nimbus Schterzen, Yuu learns that there may be more to the enigmatic Blue Destiny and its EXAM System than he previously thought.

1. Burning's Report: Blue Afterglow People often say, “Life has meaning only in the struggle.” That is exactly true. Anyone would easily reach that conclusion by opening a history book. No period in human history has ever been free from war. By fighting, people evolve, and by killing… people live. The Immortal 04th Team (minus Chap Adel) makes their appearance in this one-shot manga as they’re tasked with an important mission to investigate an abandoned colony. What they discover there shakes the team to their core. By fighting, people evolve, and by killing… people live. The place where we finally reach the end of that evolution may just be hell.
