Page "Mobile Suit Gundam" Paragraph 20

In 2004, Frederik Schodt revised his original translation of the books, which had been out of print for nearly a decade.

What had been a three volume set in the 1990 Del Rey edition was re-released by Stone Bridge Press as one single volume of 476 pages ( with a vastly improved cover design ), titled Mobile Suit Gundam: Awakening, Escalation, Confrontation.

Since the rights holders in Japan by this time had created a unified ( although still evolving ) list of romanized character and mecha names, Schodt was able to use it, and Amuro's rival in the novel thus became " Char " and not " Sha "; the popular Zeon Mobile Suit, similarly, became " Zaku ," and not " Zak ".
