Char Aznable is sitting at a table with his lieutenant, Dren, and his subordinates from the Principality of Zeon, enjoying a steak meal. In this peaceful moment, a world away from the battlefield, they are completely relaxed. “Wow, Major, you’ve had times like that too? I can’t believe it,” says Dren, to which Char replies, “It’s still the same now.” This relaxed conversation evokes the comfort of a moment of conversation with a comrade. Finally, Char’s narration concludes, saying, “Food can be salvation,” symbolically expressing the healing and warmth that dining out brings. In addition to the five main characters, other characters also appear in the commercial. The meticulously crafted worldview and the production, which becomes more and more enjoyable the more you watch, are also highlights. Enjoy the unique scene of Char and his subordinates eating, created by combining animation and live-action. ■CM overview The Hot Pepper Gourmet commercials, which began airing in March 2025, were inspired by the desire to promote Japan’s food and beverage culture by depicting the joy of eating out, with the theme “Let’s eat!” There are many happy scenes to be found in everyday dining out scenes, and we hope to reaffirm the preciousness and value of the act of eating out itself. ■Release and Streaming Information TV airing begins Thursday, September 11, 2025.
