The Sazabi card (GD05-052), specifically the Rare+ (R+) alternate art holofoil version from the Freedom Ascension [GD05] expansion of the Gundam Card Game, is a premium raw collectible released on July 24, 2026. This 1st Anniversary booster set celebrates the game's launch by introducing fan-favorite series like G Gundam and highly anticipated mobile suits such as Strike Freedom Gundam and ν Gundam. The R+ variant features unique alternate artwork and an enhanced holofoil finish distinct from the standard Rare (R) version, depicting Char Aznable's iconic crimson mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack.

Mechanically, this Purple Unit card possesses Level 5, 4 Hit Points, and 5 Attack Points, with a cost of 4. It features the (Neo Zeon) trait and requires the [Char Aznable] link condition to be deployed, making it a key piece for Purple-based decks centered around the Red Comet. Its defining [Deploy] effect states: "You may choose 1 of your other Units. Destroy it. If you do, place the top 3 cards of your deck into your trash. Add 1 (Neo Zeon) Unit card you placed from your deck with this effect to your hand." This powerful discard-and-search engine allows players to recycle resources and fetch key Neo Zeon units from the deck, providing significant tempo advantage and board control in the mid-game

The R+ version of Sazabi GD05-052 is particularly prized by collectors completing the Freedom Ascension set, as it represents the premium alternate art variant for the Rare slot, distinct from the higher-tier Legend Rare (LR) and LR++ versions of Sazabi found at GD05-049. While the standard R version trades for under $1 raw, the R+ holofoil variant commands a significant premium due to its enhanced foil quality and alternate art design. Its ability to fuel Neo Zeon strategies through deck manipulation ensures consistent demand for raw copies in tournament-ready condition, particularly in meta decks that rely on the Char Aznable link synergy and the powerful discard mechanics introduced in the 1st Anniversary set.
