The year is Universal Century 0088. Directly after the end of the Gryps War, Haman Karn and her army of Zeon remnants on the asteroid Axis begin their quest of reviving the lost empire of the Zabi's, and proclaim themselves as the Neo-Zeon. With the Earth Federation as hapless as ever, only the Anti-Earth Union Group (AEUG) is able oppose the plans of Neo-Zeon. In need of all the help it can get after being decimated in the previous war and losing many of its key members, the AEUG ship Argama enlists the aid of a young junk collector from the Side 1 colony of Shangri-La named Judau Ashta to pilot its newest mobile suit, the ZZ Gundam.

The film's dominant themes align with progressive values through its consistent anti-war and anti-authoritarian message, highlighting the suffering of innocents and the failures of established powers in perpetuating conflict.
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, as an anime from the 1980s, features traditional casting for its genre and origin, where the concept of race-swapping for 'traditionally white roles' is not applicable. The narrative focuses on universal themes of war and political conflict without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on the war between the AEUG/Karaba and Neo Zeon, the development of its young protagonists, and their heterosexual relationships, without exploring queer identities or experiences within its storyline.
Female characters like Roux Louka, Elpeo Ple, and Haman Karn are prominent and skilled combatants, frequently defeating male opponents. However, their victories are achieved through piloting advanced mobile suits, which relies on technological superiority and ranged weaponry, not direct physical combat.
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ is a direct sequel featuring a new main cast and returning characters. All returning characters maintain their established genders from previous installments, and the new characters do not represent gender-swapped versions of prior canon figures.
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ is an original anime series and a direct sequel within its established continuity. Characters' visual designs and implied races are consistent with their prior appearances and the series' original production, thus no race swaps occurred.
