Remixes of entertainment topics are popular in the Chinese-speaking web, but they tend to rely on a few reputable internet celebrities to create remixes rather than creating a lot of remixes by themselves.

This TV series was from Hong Kong and it has been years ago since it was aired. Yet, I couldn’t see any wide spread meme-ish reactions. I think the reason the character was known in Japan was because the TV series itself being aired in Japan, not because of an existence of a meme about it.

Taiwanese users use traditional Chinese characters too. anyway i’ll still translate it for you. generally, the internet users have different response to the yellow gundam for the taiwan site. Some said that the SiChuan Gundam is “awesome” but some teased it by giving names like “Warrior of Liberation” (as we know, the Chinese Governemnt likes to liberate things. their army is called the Liberation Army.)
