Gundam GquuuuuuX Restaurant Scene Touches Grandson of Former Owners

In episode 6 of Gundam GquuuuuuX, fans were treated to a quiet scene where Nyan shares a meal with her boss at a cozy restaurant. But what many viewers didn’t realize is that the restaurant depicted in the anime is based on a real place—one that holds deep sentimental value for a family in Japan.

Gundam GquuuuuuX Restaurant Scene Touches Grandson of Former Owners

Shortly after the episode aired, a Japanese Twitter user named Maikhu posted an emotional message addressed to the creators of the anime:

“Dear Gundam and Khara,
I’m the grandson of the owners of the restaurant shown in episode 6. It closed last year, but seeing it again brought back warm memories of my family. Thank you—this means so much to us.”

The post quickly gained traction, with fans appreciating the heartfelt connection between real life and animation.

Although the original restaurant featured in Gundam GquuuuuuX has since shut down, the owners didn’t give up. They reopened in a new location, and embraced their anime cameo with pride. A sign in the new shop now reads:

“Nyan has already tried our menu.”

While the building that held so many childhood memories for Maikhu is gone, the spirit of the restaurant lives on—not just in its new space, but now in anime history as well.

A Tribute That Goes Beyond Fiction

It’s rare for an anime to include a real-world location with such emotional impact. This detail suggests that someone on the Gundam GquuuuuuX staff likely visited the restaurant and wanted to pay tribute through the show.

For Maikhu and his family, that scene wasn’t just another animated background—it was a beautiful remembrance of a beloved family space.
