Gundam Build Metaverse Version

This appearance takes place within the 'Gundam Battle Nexus Online' (GBN) during the Gundam Build Metaverse 3-episode miniseries. The Gundam 00 Diver Arc is unveiled as Riku Mikami’s primary mobile suit for the Metaverse era, acting as a celebratory return to his roots. In the series, it is shown navigating the new virtual spaces that bridge all previous Gundam Build timelines, demonstrating superior particle control. This version is not just a digital avatar but a culmination of a decade of Gunpla evolution, appearing at the climax of the 10th-anniversary project to showcase how far the 'Divers' have come since their initial foray into the GBN world.

The 00 Diver Arc holds immense significance as it serves as the bridge between the 00-series foundations of the original Build Divers and the broader 10th-anniversary celebration of the entire franchise. Historically, Riku's suits evolved from the 00 Diver to the 00 Sky and 00 Sky Moebius; this version represents a 'revisitation' that refines the original 00 Diver silhouette with 'Metaverse' level technology. It symbolizes the unity of the franchise by integrating mechanics from Gundam AGE, effectively merging different alternate universes into a single, cohesive high-performance machine. Its release in late 2023 marked the peak of the decade-long 'Build' project, cementing the 00 Diver as a central icon of modern Gunpla culture.

The design of the 00 Diver Arc is a sophisticated upgrade of the GN-0000DVR model. Visually, it is distinguished by the use of 'light-condensing' or 'light-absorbing' resin in its clear parts, designed to emit a realistic glow that mimics active GN particles. Its most prominent technical feature is the GN Burst System, which utilizes appendages inspired by the Gundam AGE-FX’s C-Funnels; these can harden into energy blades or expand into defensive shields. Additionally, it incorporates the Daidal Cannon—a powerful chest-mounted weapon that pays homage to the AGE System. The suit retains the iconic twin-drive system but features a new gimmick for the GN Drives themselves, allowing for enhanced articulation and particle emission effects.
