- JMS-60 Busshi
The JMS-60 Busshi was a
mobile suit in theGundam anime television series "Mobile Fighter G Gundam ".Although the majority of the fighting in the world was now carried out by the highly trained Gundam Fighters to settle disputes between the Neo nations, many of the nations continued to have small forces of mobile suits to police their own territory. One of these mobile suits was the Busshi, operated by the military of Neo
Japan . The Busshi was primarily a space combat unit, utilized in defending the space colony of Neo Japan from any threats while theJMS-71 Nobusshi handled the burden of protecting mainland Japan down on Earth. But a squad of Busshis, lead by MajorUlube Ishikawa in hisJMA27T Fantoma , was sent to Earth as a taskforce to re-capture theJDG-009X Devil Gundam . However all of the Busshis sent to recapture the Devil Gundam were easily destroyed and Ulube barely escaped with his life.The primary armament of the Busshi was a hand-carried beam cannon. The beam cannon was connected to the right side of the Busshi's torso by a red power cable, signifying that the beam cannon was probably powered directly by the Busshi's ultracompact fusion reactor. And in an interesting note the Busshi is listed as being constructed from a super-ceramic rare metal hybrid alloy known as "zakurium". This is an Easter egg meant to poke fun at the Busshi's resemblance to the Zaku series of mobile suits seen primarily in the
Universal Century timeline.
