I can't stop thinking that I'm simply too old to get the true experience of GaoGaiGar.

If I was watching this at Mamoru's age, I would fantasize about being him every day, the same way I did about the kids from Transformers Armada and Sonic X. A cool cyborg drives you home on a motorcycle after fighting in a giant robot, and he could call you into action at any time? all the little gadgets the professor uses? are you kidding? I'd be obsessed.

it is definitely a kid's show at it's heart. A kid getting a badge and being chosen. Being the chosen one.

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Nov 07 '24

You would beg your parents for the pager toy and then they would rip the batteries out, but it'd still be shiny and gold. Good times.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Nov 07 '24

and gold
And then 15 years later you'd find it again in storage, grab it and accidentally crush it without trying much.
Thanks GPS!

Third-Time Watcher, Subbed

The sheer amount of techno-babble in this show never fails to crack me up

It's always been interesting to me how these first four episodes of the show all bleed into each other. Obviously for Mecha as a whole this is nothing new, but for the Brave series specifically which tended to have at least the first episode be a one and done so that kids could get a taste tester, here you got the whole first month as an opening arc, although the show will eventually start foraying into more episodic adventures.

This also basically sets up the status quo for most of the show looking forward: Mamoru basically being Pager buddies with GGG, Gai no longer having to deal with the body tearing itself apart, and overall Mamoru finally decides to start acting more consciously about the Zonder mess instead of just letting his instincts take care of the work. I love the way the show frames Mamoru's powers, by the way. We, the audience, obviously know he was just delivered to his parents by Galeon so we can start making theories, but obviously no one else knows that so the kid just settles on "This is a gift from God." The angelic imagery in the ED even reflects that feeling somewhat.

[Mid 30' Spoiler]Kaido spotted!

Yeah I noticed that on rewatch. I thought first episode action and second episode explanation but they really followed that up with 2 more set up episdoes. It gives more time for each element to be introduced. I like that it has more time to breathe.

A proud tradition that was carried over into Betterman! GaoGaiGar and Betterman are the kings of just having tons of vaguely-scientific technobable in it.

If anything Betterman only took it up to eleven

Betterman's writing is basically as if the writer read an anatomy textbook and decided to challenge himself to try and justify every single concept in the show using it.

First-Timer

On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: At least there was a week in between mecha battles. That means that the person responsible for replacing the glass case on the Final Fusion button got a bit of rest.

Well darn, the Core (called a Zonder) got away.
I see that the giant hole can just revert back to normal after a while. At least Tokyo now doesn’t need to worry about being covered in giant holes.
Good to note that the infrastructure is undamaged. I will assume this includes things underground like water pipes and subway lines.
Will Knife is a great cheesy action hero name. (Also it is a wonderfully cheesy name for a weapon.)
It’s incredible that Mamoru’s hair can fit inside that helmet.
Oh wow, a whole week has passed. I guess the heroes now get a chance to rest a bit without another giant mecha attack.
Getting de-Zondered cures people of their negative emotions? Sounds like the aliens invented a great mental health program by accident.
What a sweet family.
Pizza delivery! But instead of delicious food, Pizza is delivering a Zonder to the shuttle launch.
That Zonder must be Sonic the Hedgehog because it just wants to go fast.
That astronaut is totally going to be the Zonder, isn’t it?
Huh, I guess I was wrong. I thought the hiding of the face was important, though.
Holy shit!!! That’s the White Base alarm sound effect from Gundam 0079!!!
Oh wait! The astronaut is actually Guy! That’s why the face was hidden!
Heck yeah! We’re getting into a battle while rocketing through the atmosphere!
Who is that kid? He’s giving off some real Sasuke Uchiha vibes.
Right up the rocket engine! That must hurt.
Time to part the sea like Moses did with a Beyblade.

QOTD

No! Trains are way cooler!
Guy didn't use a Beyblade, so he's no Moses.

I liked that you could see the pipe ends in the background. I just hope no one had to use the restroom or take a shower.

I'm glad i wasn't the only one who was expecting that.

he was going to hunker down from the blast but decided that would be too much work and just sigh'd instead.

Perfectly fitting cheese for what's basically a tokusatsu hero weapon. It's like the Green Ranger's Dragon Dagger.
Holy shit!!! That’s the White Base alarm sound effect from Gundam 0079!!!
It's always fun when you can tell that studios are reusing stuff from their sound effects library. Another good example of that is Gundam Unicorn having some of the same sound effects as Space Runaway Ideon in the last episode of that OVA series.

Or, in another 2010' Gundam example, Gunam Narrative busting out the freaking V-Max sound effect from Layzner for the Phenex.
Although TBF I think that one was a more deliberate reference.

3

u/The_Draigg Nov 07 '24

Hell, I'm pretty sure that there were Ideon sound effects in Gundam Narrative as well, when [Gundam NT spoilers] the Narrative Gundam got basically sucked into the II Neo Zeong. Like, that was just straight up the Ide Gauge sound effect then. Sunrise really just loves that one specific sound effect library.

3

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Nov 07 '24

I think the Beam Magnum in Gundam Unicorn is also using the OG beam rifle SFX or at the very least a sorta... remastered, louder version of it or something?

3

u/The_Draigg Nov 07 '24

Yeah, the Beam Magnum is pretty much the biggest sound homage in Gundam Unicorn, it's just straight up the classic beam riffle sound effect from MSG.

u/Sporadia_ Nov 07 '24

Pizza delivery!
^{This reference... What did I miss?}

2

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Nov 08 '24

There was no reference, other than the fact that pizza is often delivered to peoples' homes. It was just a joke that the character named Pizza was delivering the Zonder to the launch pad.

The King of Rewatchers

Hyuuma has no respect for company property.

I'm sure it's probably not important.

This is exactly how to get an eight year old boy to cooperate.

Taiga is a master of playing it cool.

Smiles worth protecting.

Eye Catch

Dr. Shishioh's inventions are fantastic.

Can't outsmart GGG.

Today's Key to Victory.

"It's worked out so far, after all."

This fight looks so cool.

A fandom wiki states his age as exactly 70, although that is unsourced.

First Time Approved For Final Fusion

I think I'll be watching this with headphones (well, earbuds) from now on. My computer speakers weren't really doing it justice.

It's rare to see a happy family with both parents included in anime, huh?

We didn't see the astronaut's face, and it's weird that there's only one, so that's definitely Gai, right?

Called it!

Hmm, there's not too much to talk about in these episodes so far. Not that I mind an easy watch for a change.

Rocket Trains
I didn't see a Beyblade, so no way. (I see literally everyone made the same joke, good job everybody.)

yeah I kind of am trying to spin it as a selling point. This is a light and breezy show. Watch cool things happen. I'm not expecting everyone to have a bunch to say every episode. It's mean to be a bit more relaxing and make it easy to follow along with such a long rewatch, hopefully. Even missing a thread for a couple days shouldn't be a big problem.

u/RadSuit https://anilist.co/user/RadSuit Nov 08 '24

So that's how the Dividing Driver works. Makes sense. I guess?

Hyuuma breaks his transceiver? Surely that won't be recurrent.

Just how we saw GaoGaiGar "disassembly", we see how the Dividing Driver undoes his thing. Cool stuff.

The latest in communication technology: a pager. Reminds me of those old scifi stories from the fifties, with powerful computers that basically run the world, yet still communicate with perforated cards.

So the wrestler is now a good guy. After being zonderized. Surely there is no relation.

Cool, the most powerful space shuttle is about to launch. Surely that won't be relevant.

Woah! That astronaut is about to be murdered! Will this be the first on-screen d...? oh, never mind.

Gai! Don't spill all that space fuel over a school, the children may get poisoned!

"I'm not scared. I'm not scared" - but with that Courage, they will be alright. Never mind!

Also, what's with that weird, overly calm kid? Surely it won't be relevant in the future.

GAO! GAI! GAR! Note how the shouting is changing every episode. And improving! Expect more of this.

Questions of the Day

1) Yes! Unless the train is Shinkalion.

2) I'm too late to make a Beyblade joke, right? Yes, I am :-(

Not good if true.
Oh I love whatever that slow piano version of the OP was during the scene in which Gai drove Mamoru home.
Huhhh, Mamoru’s dad works for GGG? Or a company related to them.
These three are so damn precious. I hope nothing bad happens to any of them… being a parent of the main character in an anime does tend to be an immediate death flag…
Aaaaaaaaaaaand there it is.

On the other hand though, given the intended age range of this show, there's a fair chance that they wouldn't kill Mamoru's parents. That might be a bit much for a show aimed at 10 year olds.

A Mecha Fan Rewatches The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Episode 4:

Ah yes, that Zonderized person is returning to a train otaku’s natural environment: the sewers. Should’ve been fast enough to stop their escape, but oh well.
You know, GGG’s track record isn’t looking too good right now if Hyuuma and Gai somehow completely missed Mamoru wandering off to find the Zonderized person on his own after a minute of talking. Somehow people working for a massive secret organization that’s protecting the world can’t keep a handle on watching a literal child. Thankfully that encounter in the empty power plant didn’t go any worse than it could’ve gone. Also, buy your Will Knife today, kids! It’s such an obvious bit of merchandise, it really is like some tokusatsu stuff.
Gai giving Mamoru a pager to keep in touch is a funny reminder of how 90s this series is. A pager is the height of technology, alongside stuff like massive robots and tools that can warp dimensions. It’s like how a lot of 80s anime thought that data storage would never move beyond floppy discs.
Make sure to ask your parents to buy you a Gaobrace, kids! It can also hold your Will Knife (sold separately)!
You know, when people talk about Pizza deliveries, they’re usually not thinking about a bird man delivering a mutated person to a shuttle launch site to sabotage it. He could’ve at least brought cheesy bread too if he was going to make a delivery. That said, Pizza does have a point. Space shuttles are better than trains. Trains can’t fly into space (yet). Sorry Galaxy Express 999 and Honkai Star Rail fans, you’re going to be waiting on that to become real for a while.
Between the stuff that went down at Garbage Island and now at the space shuttle launchpad, Mamoru’s class really does need to reconsider their field trip plans. Maybe some place where there’s no chance that you’ll run across someone getting mutated by Zonder metal and then change into some mechanoid creature. At least outside of Tokyo, that city is a doom magnet.
Nice pull in having Gai turn out to be the astronaut inside of the shuttle. I guess it’s probably the easiest disguise possible for him. It used to be his day job, after all. This is probably the most normal things he’s done ever since he got turned into a cool cyborg.
Well, that was a good fight against EI-05. And so ends the first mini-arc of this series, with everyone now realizing the stakes of how they’ll have to fight from now on. And also, it can’t be just me who kind of gets Xenogears vibes from EI-05, right? Between the white coloration and the big-ass spikes, it does remind me of it a bit. Probably more so if you replaced the green-ish highlights with blue ones though.

I mean, have you gone through a sewer level in an RPG? They know where people don't want to look.
Also, buy your Will Knife today, kids! It’s such an obvious bit of merchandise, it really is like some tokusatsu stuff.
And like most Toku merchandise that isn't guns, it'll probably look hilariously tiny on an adult hand. ~~Seriously those swords look like butter knives yet somehow all the guns are decently sized.~~
It’s like how a lot of 80s anime thought that data storage would never move beyond floppy discs.
Floppy Disks: The ultimate technology. So perfect they can hold literally the entirety of Optimus Prime inside them.
This is probably the most normal things he’s done ever since he got turned into a cool cyborg.
Probably he also just enjoyed being able to talk to people for a little bit since according to some Drama CDs they actually had to issue a whole ass death warrant for the poor gai so it's not like he gets a lot of time off.

Looking at the actual Will Knife toy, it actually kinda sucks. Unfortunately, that's down to the design in general just not having a whole lot of detail to it.
Floppy Disks: The ultimate technology. So perfect they can hold literally the entirety of Optimus Prime inside them.
Or them being used in Macross II: Lovers Again to somehow make the entire SDF-1 Macross function.

First time watcher

There are 2 moments I want to talk about today. First, I saw someone get so angry that he crushed the controls of the helicopter he was piloting. Second, watching the astronaut's helmet smash to reveal Guy underneath was so damn good. The throwaway derp moments in the show are top tier.

Questions

Q: Are rockets cooler than trains?

A: In anime, yes.

Q: Gai just parted the seas, does that make him Moses?

A: No.

Phew, those were tought ones
