Sunrise has released a new promotional video for Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, the second installment in the Hathaway film trilogy, highlighting protagonist Hathaway Noa’s past and present within the Universal Century timeline.

This latest teaser focuses heavily on the psychological weight carried by protagonist Hathaway Noa, juxtaposing his current role as the leader of the insurgent group Mafty with pivotal glimpses into his past. Specifically, the clip highlights Hathaway’s involvement in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack (UC 0093), where he witnessed the tragic death of Quess Paraya — an event that shaped his disillusionment with the Earth Federation.

Set in UC 0105, The Sorcery of Nymph Circe continues directly from the first film, Flash of Hathaway, which premiered in 2021. The new chapter expands on his struggle against the Federation’s oppressive policies while exploring the consequences of his dual identity as both a former Federation officer and Mafty’s leader. The promo video emphasizes the continuity of the UC timeline, connecting Hathaway’s personal trauma to the broader political upheaval of the era.

Opening in theaters in Japan on January 30, 2026, the film promises to deepen the narrative stakes of the trilogy, blending intense mobile suit battles with the psychological weight of Hathaway’s past. Check out the new promo video below.
