The Gekka (月下, Gekka, lit. Moonlight) is a new model based on the Guren, but seemingly developed for mass production. Using the same motorcycle seat design, this Japanese-made Knightmare is the successor to the Burai Kai and boasts sixth to seventh generation technology, making them superior to Britannia's current mass production models, the Sutherland and Gloucester. The only five existing units are in the possession of the Four Heavenly Swords and their leader, Tohdoh.

The Gekka differs from the Guren Nishiki in several ways. It has gray armor as opposed to red, and the head unit has been replaced with a monoptic model. It doesn't possess a radiation emitter, either, and the cannon embedded in the left arm has been replaced by an optional, fully automatic rifle capable of bringing down Knightmare Frames as well as faster objects like missiles and airborne ordnance carriers. Its primary weapon is the Katen Yaibatou, an elongated, heated chain-sword meant to shear through Knightmares with greater ease than with conventional blades, though it isn't quite as effective as the MVS. The Gekkas are equipped with a "Chaffsmoke" dispenser, which enables dispensing of both chaff and a smokescreen. This permits both jamming of electronic equipments and disturbance of visual tracking, allowing for relatively stealthy retreats.

Kyoshiro Tohdoh's Gekka

 * Series: Type-3F
 * Height: 4.51m
 * Weight: 7925kg
 * Weapons:
 * Slash Harken × 1 (スラッシュハーケン, Surasshuhāken?)
 * Seidoutou × 1 (制動刀, Seidoutou?, lit. "Brake Sword")
 * Custom Hand Gun × 1 (専用ハンドガン, Sen'you handogan?)
 * Equipment/Installment:
 * Landspinner propulsion system
 * Chaffsmoke Dispensing system
 * Cockpit Ejection system

Kyoshiro Tohdoh uses a customized Gekka with two hair-like appendages flowing from the back of the head. His variant sports a black paint scheme and a unique version of the Katen Yaibatou dubbed Seidoutou, mounting a Slash Harken on the butt of the handle as well as several thrusters on the back of the blade. Tohdoh pilots a regular Gekka in the second season, his custom unit having presumably been captured or destroyed during the Tokyo Rebellion in the first season.

Kōsetsu Urabe customized Gekka has a light blue color scheme. It was upgraded to match the power of Tohdoh's Gekka, although it lacks the booster on the end of the blade. This unit first appears in the first episode of the second season during the attack on Babel Tower to retrieve Lelouch. It is destroyed in the following episode when Kōsetsu attempts to sacrifice himself to destroy Rolo Lamperouge's Vincent Prototype.
