Anti-funnel System

For the magazine Newtype, see Newtype (magazine). A Newtype is theorized to be the next stage of human evolution in the fictional Gundam universe. The theory behind this minor but groundbreaking metamorphosis is that in order to adapt to life in space, the human body evolved with heightened mental awareness. As such, Newtypes tend to appear among Spacenoids (Space-born human beings), although not exclusively (Amuro Ray, arguably the most famous Newtype, was actually born and spent his early childhood on Earth). Appearing in the Universal Century timeline (chronologically the first), they are also present in the After War timeline, where they are explained to be nothing more than genetic mutants.
