To commemorate the release of Kenshi Yonezu’s double A-side single “BOW AND ARROW/Plazma,” the original author of “Medalist,” Tsurumai Kada, has unveiled an illustration of “Medalist” x “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (GQuuuuuX).”
The illustration features Yuzuru Inori and Akiura Michiji from “Medalist,” and Machu, Nyaan, Shuuji, and Haro from “GQuuux.”
“BOW AND ARROW” is the opening theme song for the TV anime “Medalist,” and “Plazma” is the theme song for “GQuuux.” The double A-side single “BOW AND ARROW/Plazma” was released in four formats, including the “Haro version,” on June 11th.

Inori, Machu, and More Appear in a Stunning Collaboration Illustration
This special collaboration between Medalist and Sieg Axe, brought to life by artist Tsurumai Ikada, beautifully captures the essence of both worlds. Featuring beloved characters like Inori and Machu, the illustration feels less like a promotional crossover and more like a celebration of passion, determination, and artistry—core themes shared by both series. It’s a striking reminder of how sports and action manga, though stylistically different, can resonate deeply through shared emotion and intensity.
