Gundam Series Timeline Explained

Goal: Create a clean Japanese infographic slide summarizing {argument name="headline text" default="Gundam Series: Relationships Between Worlds and Eras in the Story"}, with the small subtitle "—The Timeline of Major Series and the Connections Between Worlds—", showing how Gundam series relate by fictional world and era.

Canvas: 16:9 horizontal presentation slide, white background, navy blue title typography, thin gray borders, pale pastel category bands, compact Japanese sans-serif text. Use a crisp corporate PowerPoint-style layout with a large boxed timeline on top, two boxed rows beneath it, and notes/legend at the bottom.

Top title area: Large dark navy Japanese title at top left. At top right, include a rounded note box saying the series are broadly divided into "Universal Century (UC)" and other "Another (AU)" worlds.

Main section: A large bordered panel titled {argument name="main section title" default="Universal Century (UC) Series"} with a note "*History of humanity originating from Earth (Year 1 = Year 1 of the Universal Century = Year of Space Migration)". Inside, create a horizontal timeline with exactly 9 era columns, each with a colored header and vertical guide lines: 1) "UC 0001 Begins of Cosmic Migration", 2) "UC 0079", 3) "UC 0087", 4) "UC 0093", 5) "UC 0123", 6) "UC 0153", 7) "UC 100", 8) "UC 110", 9) "(date unknown)". Add an era-label row with exactly 8 colored labels: "Dawn Period," "One Year War Period," "Gryps Campaign Period," "First Neo Zeon War," "Second Neo Zeon War," "Laplace's Box Era," "After the Universal Century," "Other Eras and Works."

Universal Century content cards: Place exactly 14 rounded rectangular series cards in the top timeline panel, using pale green, yellow, orange, purple, blue, and gray fills. Cards must read: 1) "Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) / UC 0079 / War between the Earth Federation Forces and the Principality of Zeon", 2) "THE ORIGIN (2015-18) / UC 0068-0079 / The Story on the Eve of the One Year War", 3) "Mobile Suit Z Gundam (1985) / UC 0087 / AEUG and the Titans Battle (Gryps Campaign)", 4) "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ ( 1986-87) / UC 0088 / The Rise of Neo Zeon Right After ZZ, 5) Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (1988) / UC 0093 / Char's Rebellion and Laplace's Box, 6) Mobile Suit Gundam UC (Unicorn) (2010-14) / UC 0096-0097 / The Battle Over the Inheritance of Laplace's Box, 7) Mobile Suit Gundam NT (Narrative) (2018) / UC 0097 / Becoming the Successor to UC, 8) Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (1991) / UC 0123 / The Dawn of a New Era, 9) Mobile Suit V Gundam (1993) / UC 0153 / War with the Zanscar Empire, 10) Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway of the Flash (2021) / UC 0105 / Corruption in the Earth Federation and the Spark of New Conflicts, 11) Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island ( 2022) / UC 0083 / One Chapter During the One Year War, 12) Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN (listed on left), 13) Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt (2012-17) / UC 0079-0080 / Parallel World During the One Year War, 14) Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 STARDUST MEMORY (1991-92) / UC 0083 / Attack on the Delaz Fleet . Use solid black arrows for chronological flow and dashed arrows for parallel or related works, including arrows connecting THE ORIGIN, the original Gundam, Z, ZZ, Char's Counterattack, Unicorn, Narrative, F91, and V Gundam. Add a small arrow legend below the main panel showing solid arrow "Chronological Flow" and dashed arrow "Parallel/Related Works" plus a note that years are approximate.

Middle left section: A bordered panel titled {argument name="alternate universe section title" default="アナザー（AU：Alternate Universe）シリーズ"} with a note that these are histories/worlds different from UC. Include exactly 6 pastel cards in one row: 1) "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (2002-03) / C.E. (Cosmic Era) / Human conflict over genetic controllers", 2) "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY (2004-05) / C.E. 71-73 / Sequel to SEED", 3) "Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Double O) ( 2007-09) / Year 2307 / Humanity's Struggle After Fossil Fuel Depletion, 4) 'Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (2015-17) / Post Disaster / Harsh Society After Mars Colonization', 5) 'Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (2022-23) / A.S. (Ad Stella) Year 122 / Corporate Domination and Mobile Suit Development Competition', 6) New Mobile Report Gundam W (1995-96) / A.C. (After Colony) / The Independence Movement and War in Space Colonies. Add a note below that each work has an independent world and era and does not directly connect to UC.

Middle right section: A bordered panel titled "Other Works & Worlds" with exactly 2 cards: 1) "Reconguista of G (2014-15) / R.C. (Regild Century) / A Multi-layered World Where Multiple Eras Intersect", 2) "∀ Gundam (TurnA) (1999-2000) / Year 2345 AD / All the stories of the future of Gundam." Add a small note that these are independent from UC.

Bottom area: Include exactly 3 boxes. Left box titled 「まとめ」 with two bullet paragraphs explaining that UC depicts history after humanity expands into space and is the origin world of the series, while AU has different histories/ settings and develops independent eras/stories. Center box titled "Legend" with exactly 5 color swatches labeled "One Year War Period," "Gryps Campaign Period," "First Neo Zeon War," "Second Neo Zeon War," "Laplace's Box Era." Right box lists abbreviations exactly: "UC: Universal Century," "C.E.: Cosmic Era," "A.C.: After Colony," "A.S.: Ad Stella," "R.C.: Regild." Century（リギルド・センチュリー）」 and a small note that names and era notation may differ by work.

Style constraints: Keep all text legible but dense, like a Japanese educational slide; use thin borders, subtle pastel fills, straight connectors, and no character art, no mobile suits, no photos, no watermark. Maintain the exact section/card counts: 9 timeline era markers, 8 era labels, 14 UC cards, 6 AU cards, 2 other-world cards, 3 bottom boxes.
