XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe / XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell (Gundam Zero-Two)
Gundam Deathscythe (ガンダムデスサイズ Gandamu Desusaizu?) is one of the five Gundam mobile suits sent to Earth as part of Operation Meteor, created by Professor G and launched from the cluster of orbital colonies located at the L2 Lagrange point. The Gundam specializes in both stealth and close combat, and its main armament consists of its signature beam scythe and a small shield which can emit an energy blade, and the shield can be fired at distant enemies.
Another feature of the suit is its Hyper Jammer ECM (electronic countermeasure) system that emits jamming particles, rendering the Gundam practically invisible to electronic sensors and giving it unparalleled stealth in combat. Deathscythe is piloted by Duo Maxwell from the beginning of the series until episode 19, when Duo is captured by OZ in space. The damaged Gundam is retrieved by OZ, studied to provide the basis of the Mercurius and Vayeate prototype mobile suits, and then destroyed as pro-OZ propaganda after the colonies declare the Gundams enemies.
The five rebel scientists responsible for building the Gundams (who are at this point captured and forced to work on the two prototype suits) retrieve the components and begin to rebuild Deathscythe, upgrading its weapons and stealth abilities, as well as making it more suitable for space combat. The most notable upgrades include a double-bladed beam scythe and its "Active Cloak," which provides extra defense when closed and extra manueverability when opened. The upgraded Deathscythe, renamed Gundam Deathscythe Hell (ガンダムデスサイズヘル Gandamu Desusaizu Heru?), is first activated in episode 25, when Duo escapes with Wufei from OZ's Lunar Base, despite it not being fully completed.
Duo later salvages the parts to finish the new Gundam in episode 32 and Deathscythe is involved heavily in the fighting leading up to the conclusion of the series. In Endless Waltz, Duo uses Deathscythe Hell one last time to battle the Barton Foundation's forces in Brussels, and after the Foundation's surrender, he self-destructs the Gundam, as all other mobile suits are destroyed. In North America, the Deathscythe Hell is commonly dubbed as "Deathscythe H," most likely to avoid any religious controversy over its name
