The Minaret Gundam is a mobile fighter that appears in the TV anime Mobile Fighter G Gundam.
A mobile fighter representing Neo Turkey in the 13th Gundam Fight. As its name suggests, the Minaret Gundam is armed with a huge curved sword, which can be stored on its left hip. The mobile fighter's impressive strength also enables pilot Saette Gyuzelle to use his wrestling skills to great effect, and its high adaptability lets it fight effectively in any environment.
Like Neo Mexico's GF13-049NM Tequila Gundam, the Minaret Gundam was targeted by its own government, but for different reasons. While Chico Rodriguez was hunted for avoiding the Gundam Fight, Saette Gyuzelle was wanted for attacking his own country and destroying parts of the historic city of Istanbul. However, Saette's actions were not of his own free will. At one point in the tournament, Saette was attacked by the JDG-00X Devil Gundam and infected with the Devil Gundam's DG cells. Afterwards, Saette would lose control of the Minaret Gundam and regain consciousness after it completed its destructive rampage. As Neo Turkey hunted him, Saette encountered his former lover, Rain Mikamura.
