The Unicorn Gundam statue at DiverCity Tokyo is in its final decorated form and will be removed at the end of August 2026. The track 'UNICORN' by Hiroyuki Sawano is noted as a past viral hit on Nico Nico Douga.
The life-size Unicorn Gundam statue at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Odaiba received its final decoration on June 20, 2026, under the name "RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Ver. TWC FINAL." Mechanical designer Hajime Katoki applied custom decals for this last look. The statue has been on display since September 24, 2017, and its exhibition will end on August 31, 2026. During the decoration period, a Unicorn Gundam headband distribution campaign runs at the Gundam Cafe Kitchen Car at the same plaza, offering one headband per product purchase. The statue features a transformation mechanism that mimics the "Destroy Mode" from the series.
Separately, a feature on meme songs from Amazon Music Unlimited highlighted Hiroyuki Sawano's "UNICORN" from Mobile Suit Gundam UC as a past viral hit on Nico Nico Douga. The same article reported that Pikotaro's "PPAP" remains the number one meme song originating from Japan, with its Long Ver. surpassing 500 million views. The two stories do not connect directly; one covers the physical statue's final display, the other notes the track's past viral status.
