Originally designed by Yutaka Izubuchi for the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack film, this RGM-89 Jegan is a custom version piloted by Earth Federation ace pilot Yuu Kajima. Yuu Kajima is best known as the protagonist of the 1996 Sega Saturn Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny game series. For his exploits piloting the RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1 and RX-79BD-3 Blue Destiny Unit 3, Yuu earned the moniker “Blue Death”. Since then, he has adopted blue as his personal color for his mobile suits.
The Blue Destiny subsequently received two manga adaptations and a remake of the game was featured in the 2014 Mobile Suit Gundam: Side Stories on PlayStation 3.

Set fourteen years after the One Year War in U.C. 0093, Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack serves as the final confrontation between legendary rivals Amuro Ray and Char Aznable. Char has risen to power as leader of Neo Zeon and plans an all-out assault to decimate the Earth’s population to revive the planet. Released to theaters in 1988, Char’s Counterattack grossed 1.16 billion yen at the box office.
