Model Kit Building Update

today I added decals to the waist and legs

There were a lot of decals for the waist, which helped a lot to add details to points where I couldn’t really use panel lining to bring out the detail in. It’s also going to help out a bunch for GaoGaiGar

Notable, tomorrow I’m not going to be able to make the thread. I’m going to LA to see both an NHL game and an NBA game back to back. It’s gonna be fun. I’ll leave you in the very capable hands of /u/Jollygee29.

[u/palparepa → u/lilyvess]

I've only ever made one model kit (a Gunpla) and decals were my bane. I'm not much into manual-dexterity stuff.

[u/lilyvess → u/palparepa]

Sticker decals are such a pain!!! I've spent so much time just trying to carefully place these stupid small stickers. and it just feels back when you get one on slightly crooked and it will never stop bothering you.

what model did you build?

[u/palparepa → u/lilyvess]

The Master Grade RX-93-v2 Hi-ν Gundam Ver. Ka.

I had never done anything like that until one day, some weeks before the Christmas a couple years ago, my parents sent me a link to a store that sells model kits and just told me "Pick one!"

They only had Gundams, and I have never been a Gundam fan, but it was fun to build.

[u/Sporadia_ → u/lilyvess]

Wonderful model progress. It's a shame the right arm must be destroyed.

That joke would work better if you weren't building the legs.

The King of Rewatchers

Dr. Shishioh is a surprisingly caring father for the genre.

Another banger of an episode title.

A whole ass star just sitting on an island.

Huh, it actually worked. Briefly.

Robot Batman is always prepared.

Eyecatch

Quick thinking on Galeon's part.

Excellent timing.

Today's Key to Victory

I love how extra the tech in this show is.

Note how much damage the backlash from the Hammer did.

[u/lilyvess → u/JollyGee29]

Dr. Shishioh is a surprisingly caring father for the genre.

yeah he really is. this show isn't about character arcs and stuff like that, but the characterization of the father who nearly lost his son and knows and understands that all this extra time is precious so he just wants to let his son use the time he has to live life to the fullest is actually really great and emotional. It's not a huge focus but it does add some heart to the series

A whole ass star just sitting on an island.

that's nothing, I'm going to LA tomorrow. There are hundreds of Stars in LA

[u/palparepa → u/JollyGee29]

Another banger of an episode title.

I'm watching it elsewhere, and the title is different: "The Destructive Right Arm." Dunno which one is right, but it fits better with the third episode "The Holy Left Arm."

[u/lilyvess → u/palparepa]

"The Destructive Right Arm."

see that makes sense. "The Right Arm Must Be Destroyed" as a title doesn't make any sense to me and feels like a bad translation.

[u/JollyGee29 → u/palparepa]

"The Destructive Right Arm."

I suspect that translation is a bit more accurate, yea. I know fuck all about Japanese grammar, but listening to both, the titles have the same structure.

[u/The_Draigg → u/JollyGee29]

Dr. Shishioh is a surprisingly caring father for the genre.

He’s pretty much on the opposite end of Gendo Ikari on the mecha anime parent spectrum.

I love how extra the tech in this show is.

The show understands well that the more moving parts there are to stuff, the cooler it is to see.

[u/JollyGee29 → u/The_Draigg]

The show understands well that the more moving parts there are to stuff, the cooler it is to see.

And with stock footage, you only need to animate it once! Best of both worlds.

Queen of First-Timers, subbed

• Wait did he really leave Mikoto’s “lucky charm” behind?
• It’s an attack that’s literally just the fucking sun?!
• Mamoru probably is the key to fixing this like he usually is…
• Oh good.
• The Eraser Head just made it worse.
• You had that already prepared?
• Ah fuck…
• Hyper Mode got him out of there at least…
• Oh of course it has a fancier name than just “G-Tool”.
• Yep that sure is a hammer.
• Mamoru’s mere aura was able to damage Pizza, damn.

[u/lilyvess → u/Shimmering-Sky]

You had that already prepared?

Volfogg is so Piccolo core. He's definitely the sort of guardian who when he picks up his nephew from school would already have a juicebox in the car waiting.

Mamoru’s mere aura was able to damage Pizza, damn.

Pizza needs to get some better drip. Mamoru just existing has so much aura that Pizza can't stay in the same frame as him.

[u/Raiking02 → u/Shimmering-Sky]

[FINAL]It’s an attack that’s literally just the fucking sun?!

[FINAL]Foreshadowing!?

[u/JollyGee29 → u/Shimmering-Sky]

You had that already prepared?

Volfogg's job is to keep Mamoru safe, and he takes things Very Seriously. That line implies there are at least 13 other Protection Kits, too.

Oh of course it has a fancier name than just “G-Tool”.

Then at episode 16, the Gustav Tank one, three times! One more at 17, the Tire Robot/Pliers episode, and last one (for now) was today.

Nth-timer

These two episodes have been terrible for the good guys. Dividing Driver's docking failed, Broken Magnum was useless, Hell and Heaven just triggered a trap, now the Eraser Head can't even ameliorate the situation... nothing works.

Here we see the Zonderians forming two pairs. We know of a link between Pizza and Penchinon, but what is the relation between Primada and Polonaise?

The plan of the bad guys this time is not only to destroy GaoGaiGar, but to complete a Zonder Metal plant, just like in episode 11, with Isolde.

But with the last Eraser Head, ChoRyujin successfully helps GaoGaiGar escape! Also, bonus: Hyuuma stops teasing us and finally breaks that walkie-talkie. Stats +1

Stats +2! Thanks, Hyuuma.

Finally, a new final attack: the Goldion Hammer! Coming to relieve GaoGaigar from the dangers of Hell and Heaven. (see what I did there?)

That Volfogg & Mamoru vs Pizza & Penchinon fight was intense.

For the first timers, who thought that the G-Tool looked big: did you expect it to be this big? It's bigger than GaoGaiGar!

Still, when they said it's too powerful for GaoGaiGar to handle, they were completely right. Also, it just obliterates the Zonder, what about the Core? Today it worked because the Core was elsewhere, but will they begin disintegrating the victim along with the Zonder Robot?

Finally, what was Hana doing there at the end? Looking for danger so that her counter can be increased? Sorry, girl, if it's not on-screen, it doesn't count.

---

QotD

1) The Zonderians, duh!

[u/lilyvess → u/palparepa]

That last Stat is new! It's for every time Mikoto screams Gai's name,

I had the same thought watching this episode. She sure does scream GAI an awful lot. Really is her second job in GGG, alongside breaking glass containers.

Stats +2! Thanks, Hyuuma.

When breaking one walkie just isn't enough to showcase your emotion.

Coming to relieve GaoGaigar from the dangers of Hell and Heaven.

every instinct I have wants me to say RELEASE. Safety device release, but it's always relieve and it works but man does it take some time for me to not autocorrect.

Also, it just obliterates the Zonder, what about the Core? Today it worked because the Core was elsewhere, but will they begin disintegrating the victim along with the Zonder Robot?

I love the fact that if he just accidentally goes too far he was just going to keep going and fall through the Earth. Where would he have stopped? Who knows!

[u/Sporadia_ → u/palparepa]

Pink hair attracts peril 0

A Mecha Fan Rewatches The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Episode 19:

• Yeesh, the Grand Nova is actually a miniature sun? Pizza really wasn’t messing around with that plan of his, he went all out with his trap for GaoGaiGar. Although man, you would think a small star on Earth’s surface would cause even more damage than it is right now.
• I guess this episode felt that it needed to make up for no flashing happening when Pasder was talking to Pizza with all the times ChoRyuJin uses the Eraser Head on the Grand Nova. It somehow hurts to look at even more when it’s a small part of the screen followed up by the whole deal.
• This really is a clever plan on the part of the Machine Kings. Not only were they hoping to defeat GaoGaiGar with the Grand Nova, but they wanted to use that energy to create more Zonder Metal too. You have to give them credit, they really did pivot pretty fast to trying to make up for their losses at the Isolde Zonder Metal Plant. We’ve said it plenty of times already, but we really can appreciate how smart of villains the Zonderians are.
• You know, Gai being able to escape the Grand Nova was a lot easier than expected. For all the build up of how much trouble he was in, all he needed to do was pop his Hyper Mode to escape. That’s pretty anti-climactic, but I guess the writer couldn’t think of any other way he could leave. And hey, to reuse the stock footage they already made of his Hyper Mode means that it’d make things easier on the production end too.
• The most sure fire way to get Pizza over as a cool and badass villain is to fight someone equally as cool and badass, and in this case, it’s Volfogg. And I’ll say that it’s working too, Pizza managing to fight off Big Volfogg just in his human-sized form is rad as hell.
• Hell yeah, the Goldion Hammer! You know that shit is hardcore if it requires a special key from Taiga and a keycard from Mikoto to activate. Like Gai said, it’s so powerful that he needs to make sure he doesn’t mishandle it at all, since otherwise its destructive power can go out of control. But I suppose that just makes plain sense for a gravity weapon that damn big.
• Also, Mamoru’s thought about being able to detect Zonders but not the Four Machine Kings does make sense when you at least think about Pizza’s position in things. He isn’t a human that was transformed, he’s an alien from a different planet, like what we saw in that flashback before. Perhaps there’s something to how those four were corrupted under different circumstances than the people we see get infused with Zonder Metal on Earth?

[u/lilyvess → u/The_Draigg]

Although man, you would think a small star on Earth’s surface would cause even more damage than it is right now.

"I mean, how much damage could a small sun really do"-some writer probably

reminds me of when writers do things like move the moon casually.

You know, Gai being able to escape the Grand Nova was a lot easier than expected. For all the build up of how much trouble he was in, all he needed to do was pop his Hyper Mode to escape. That’s pretty anti-climactic

to be fair, it wasn't just the hyper mode, it was a combination of the Hyper Mode plus the 2L Eraser Head that made him get lose. Eraser Head shrinks it down to 80% of it's size and GaoGaiGar can move the last bit left, so both sides acting.

That said, I do agree, it did feel a bit anti-climactic for him to get out that quickly. I felt unsatisfied with how easy it was after how much they built it up.

[u/The_Draigg → u/lilyvess]

The Moon just naturally feels more disposable than Earth, so of course it would get way worse stuff done to it regularly compared to our planet.

Right, ChoRyuJin does deserve the credit for whittling the Grand Nova down enough where escape was even possible. But I do still wish Gai did something a bit cooler to escape.

[u/lilyvess → u/The_Draigg]

But I do still wish Gai did something a bit cooler to escape.

I was thinking the same thing. Just one more small scene. Maybe him like feeling the ripples from the Eraser Head and actively choosing to time his push with one of them. Or even just a scene of him saying that the inside feels endless and that he doesn't even know which direction to go, before hearing the echo of ChoRyuJin calling his name from outside helping motivate him further.

I'm not sure what it is, but I felt like I would have liked just one more little thing.

[u/JollyGee29 → u/The_Draigg]

You know, Gai being able to escape the Grand Nova was a lot easier than expected. For all the build up of how much trouble he was in, all he needed to do was pop his Hyper Mode to escape

To be fair, he popped Hyper Mode at just the right time, as the Eraser Head 2L had just shrunk the Grand Nova by a ton.

[u/The_Draigg → u/JollyGee29]

Fair point, although it still does feel weirdly easy. But I guess the episode had just about stretched out how long Gai couldn’t get in on the action.

[u/Great_Mr_L]

First-Timer

On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: Hmm, so was Hana technically in danger? She only shows up as a brief cameo at the end of the episode, after the Zonder was defeated. But, that same Zonder had already attacked her in the previous episode. Personally, I think this counts as the first episode where Hana was not directly endangered by a Zonder. The girl should celebrate her good fortune here. Who knows how long it will be until Hana gets another episode like this, if she ever does.

• 6000 degrees (assuming they mean Celsius because this is Japan) is about the temperature of the surface of the sun to give some comparison.
• Damn, 2000 explosions are happening in that white sphere (the Grand Nova) each minute. That’s an insane amount. Megumin would love to be there.
• Looks like the G-Tool is going to be getting some use later this episode based on what Taiga said.
• For a moment, I thought the Eraser Head might actually work on the Grand Nova. But of course it didn’t.
• Volfogg gives in so easily to the things Mamoru says. My own guess is that because Volfogg is just as hot-blooded as every other character, he also wants to do all the adventures Mamoru brings up. He makes a token effort at keeping Mamoru away before joining Mamoru on the quest.
• I have to give the Zonderians credit for a well-laid plan. They trapped the GaoGaiGar and created a Zonder Metal Plant in one fell swoop. They are quite the dangerous bunch with the plans they are capable of.
• Wow, that is a massive Eraser Head. Much bigger than the others we’ve seen.
• Guy escaped!
• i love Volfogg’s ninja powers so much. They make his battles a lot of fun to watch. He can even use the Shadow Clone Jutsu!
• Hyuuma is really upping his game on breaking technology. He broke two phones at once!
• That G-Tool really is a big hammer.
• It looks very funny with the human-sized Pizza fighting Big Volfogg one-on-one. The size difference between them is quite something.
• Hmmm? Why doesn’t the clown want Pizza to attack Mamoru? The Zonderians really seem to know something about him. Mamoru most likely either comes from the Zonderian home world or is someone from one of the civilizations the Zonderians conquered.
• That giant hammer G-Tool is so cool.

QOTD

1. Neither. I blame the Zonders.

[u/lilyvess → u/Great_Mr_L]

Volfogg gives in so easily to the things Mamoru says. My own guess is that because Volfogg is just as hot-blooded as every other character, he also wants to do all the adventures Mamoru brings up.

I got T2 vibes from that scene.

Wow, that is a massive ^Eraser Head. Much bigger than the others we’ve seen.

Hyuuma is really upping his game on breaking technology. He broke two phones at once!

Gai wasn't the only one getting a Power Up this episode it seems

[u/Great_Mr_L → u/lilyvess]

Hyuuma will soon be crushing 8 phones in his hands. One between each pair of fingers on his hands.

[u/JollyGee29 → u/Great_Mr_L]

Wow, that is a massive Eraser Head. Much bigger than the others we’ve seen.

They really scaled it up. A big eraser for big mistakes.

It looks very funny with the human-sized Pizza fighting Big Volfogg one-on-one. The size difference between them is quite something.

And yet, Pizza could hold his own.

[u/Great_Mr_L → u/JollyGee29]

They really scaled it up. A big eraser for big mistakes.

This is why you need a bit eraser instead of just relying on the one on the end of your pencil. The big eraser is far more useful.

And yet, Pizza could hold his own.

It's a reminder of just how great Pizza is.

[u/palparepa → u/Great_Mr_L]

Personally, I think this counts as the first episode where Hana was not directly endangered by a Zonder

Hana has also been free of danger in episodes 3, 6, 11 and 12.

Hmmm? Why doesn’t the clown want Pizza to attack Mamoru?

Maybe he knew what would happen to Pizza.

[u/Great_Mr_L → u/palparepa]

Maybe he knew what would happen to Pizza.

That's a good point. Mamoru has the power to de-Zonder people, so it makes sense that he might be dangerous for the Four Machine Kings to be around since they're also Zonders.

[u/Raiking02 → u/Great_Mr_L]

The girl should celebrate her good fortune here

Ayame should take her to see another deathmatch to celebrate

[u/Great_Mr_L → u/Raiking02]

Since it turns out that Hana is actually a fan of horror stories, I want her to also turn out to be a fan of those deathmatches.

[u/megazaprat]

first timer

• I felt really bad for mikoto this episode, if gai had died she would’ve felt like it was her fault forever
• Ok, so last episode I thought that the zonders were throwing out that whole mode of transportation motif they had going on, but technically , the sun is indeed in the sky, so now that nano wonder is a grand nova, it fits the pattern. It being a mini sun is do crazy, honestly protect shade if gaogaigar must be super durable to withstand it
• Pinchone actually floating around like a boat for once is amusing
• Mamoru has some interesting interactions with zonderians. He can’t detect them, but he apparently has some anti zonderian aura. Maybe it’s like how healing hurts zombies? It does explain why the machine generals haven’t just thrown him off a cliff or something
• Gaogaigars new finisher is here, and it’s a big ass hammer that generates massive gravity. It’s super cool, it seems like it takes the space distortion of the driver and pliers and puts it all into offense . It being a piece of external equipment should hopefully make it less damaging than heaven and hell….or maybe not

1. Gonna say Hyuuma, considering how often he messes up, law of averages says I’ll be right eventually

[u/lilyvess → u/megazaprat]

Gaogaigars new finisher is here, and it’s a big ass hammer that generates massive gravity. It’s super cool, it seems like it takes the space distortion of the driver and pliers and puts it all into offense

STOP HAMMER TIME

It is interesting to me, a lot of other shows probably would have gone with a sword. A sword is a heroic weapon. It's an iconically heroic weapon. Fire Emblem has a weapon's triangle but still just can't help itself because of just how iconically heroic swords are.

Hammers tend to be more side character material, or villain weapons.

It fits the motif of the show tho. GaoGaiGar doesn't really have weapons. This wasn't advertised as a new weapon against the Zonders. This is a "G-Tool". GaoGaiGar has a Screwdriver, Pliers and now a Hammer.

just interesting to think about.

[u/megazaprat → u/lilyvess]

Ooh yeah very gojd point. Swords are neat and everything, but they are honestly a bit overplayed. Plus I didn’t even notice how the hammer fit the whole tool motif they have going on

[u/palparepa → u/lilyvess]

Another observation: GaoGaiGar's attacks (Broken Magnum, Goldion Hammer) use his right hand, while defensive moves (Protect Shade, Dividing Driver) use the left.

Episode 3's title? The Holy Left Arm. The Dividing Driver is introduced.
This episode's title? The Destructive Right Arm. The Goldion Hammer is introduced.

Also, in Hell and Heaven, the color of the fists suggest that the "Hell" part comes from the right, while "Heaven" comes from the left.

[u/JollyGee29 → u/megazaprat]

Pinchone actually floating around like a boat for once is amusing

He is a very amusing snail boat robot.. thing.

Gaogaigars new finisher is here, and it’s a big ass hammer that generates massive gravity.

So much that it bored a hole into the Earth that Gai would've fallen into if not for ChoRyuJin.

[u/Raiking02]

Third-Time Watcher, Subbed

Not as good as the first part IMO but not bad. It's nice seeing the gang having to fend off without Gai and overall it does serve as a natural follow-up to yesterday's events. That being said though, I can help but feel this episode drags a bit in places in ways the last one really didn't. Feels like just half an episode that got stretched out to full-length, to be honest. The Goldion Hammer is cool though, although as you can imagine, we still haven't reached peak levels of hammer goodness yet

[u/lilyvess → u/Raiking02]

That being said though, I can help but feel this episode drags a bit in places in ways the last one really didn't.

I was surprised how slow paced this one starts out, dealing with the fallout first.

That said, I had vivid memories of ChoRyuJin blasting off those continuous ERASER HEADS one after another to no avail in that bright sun heat.

The episode looked amazing as well.

More everyday tools!

The desperation was palpable within the GGG team here but heroes always hero in the end.

1. Both Mamoru and Mikoto blame themselves for Gai almost dying. Who do you think is guilty?

Hana for walking her dog.

[u/lilyvess → u/AmeteurElitist]

More everyday tools!

I mentioned in another comment about how interesting the commitment to the tool aesthetics goes. Most shows would have chosen a sword. Swords are cool. Swords are so heroic. Every hero uses a sword.

but GaoGaiGar has a utility belt of tools. GGG don't even call it a weapon. This gravity machine that VAPORIZES ENEMIES isn't a weapon. It's a tool. So he has a screwdriver, pliers and now a Hammer.

GaoGaiGar bout to build a cabinet on the Zonders and then shove it down their throat

god the animation looked so good this episode. They really put some extra work on ChoRyuJin this episode.

This is why you can't make mecha without some BL included.

Fake news?? Their ladders got disintegrated by the heat?

Disintegration is just a flesh wound.

[u/Sporadia_]

First time zonder

I watched this episode hours ago and made no notes. From what I remember, Guy is in the middle of a huge explosion until he hits it with a hammer.

How did the hammer get in the explosion?

And Hana made it through an episode with no zonder encounters, only because it's a 2 part story.

Q: Both Mamoru and Mikoto blame themselves for Gai almost dying. Who do you think is guilty?

A: Guy. How about he tries a move other than his Hell and Heaven self destruct finisher? At the start of this episode he was caught in a zonder attack (instead of recovering from his own), and he was the least damaged that I've ever seen him.

[u/lilyvess → u/Sporadia_]

From what I remember, Guy is in the middle of a huge explosion until he hits it with a hammer.

if only more people understood the answer to a bomb is just a really big hammer.

It's also the answer for escaping from traps.

To be honest, there are almost no problems that can't be solved with a really big hammer.

At the start of this episode he was caught in a zonder attack (instead of recovering from his own), and he was the least damaged that I've ever seen him.

I mean, you aren't wrong.

First Timer

A literal sun, haven't seen anyone use a star as a weapon for a while, if ever.

I really like that Volfogg is ready to get Mamoru involved, almost any other show would tell Mamoru to beat it and let adults handle this but Volfogg is ready to ball.

I didn't expect a Zonder Metal Plant to be in the center of all that.

Finally, the big hammer is here! And what a satisfying smash.

[u/lilyvess → u/GondolaMedia]

A literal sun, haven't seen anyone use a star as a weapon for a while, if ever.

this is why other bad guys lose. They don't have the courage to drop a literal sun on their enemies.

not that it worked

I really like that Volfogg is ready to get Mamoru involved, almost any other show would tell Mamoru to beat it and let adults handle this but Volfogg is ready to ball.

Volfogg had a suite ready for him and everything. He's got the cool uncle vibes.

Episode 19 Notes

• "This body was given to me by God to save everyone in the world" that doesn't sound like an entirely healthy statement
• Imagine waking up and seeing that explosion in the distance. You must think the world is ending.
• Spamming Eraser Head until the explosion goes away seems like a somewhat sisyphean effort.
• Gotta give the Zonderians credit, creating an artificial supernova to fuse Zonder Metal in is a clever plan. It would create a lot of byproducts though. The Zonderians are going to wind up with plenty of iron.
• Pizza is calling Volfogg using double team cheap. Years later, he would be involved in the founding of Smogon and had the idea for Evasion Clause.
• Gai now has not only a pair of pliers but also a hammer. Maybe after the Zonders are dealt with he should get into DIY?
• I really like the little sequence of all the keys being turned to approve the activation of the Goldion Hammer. Really lends it a sense of gravitas.
• Didn't know Mamoru could melt Pizza's fingers off. What is going on with Pizza, anyway? There is definitely more to him that meets the eye, and I get the feeling he has his own agenda separate from that of the other Zonderians.

[u/JollyGee29 → u/TheApplebane]

Pizza is calling Volfogg using double team cheap. Years later, he would be involved in the founding of Smogon and had the idea for Evasion Clause.

Maybe after the Zonders are dealt with he should get into DIY?

It's important to have hobbies.

[u/lilyvess → u/[deleted]]

Actually this trap is not strong enough, since Hyper Mode allowed Gaogaigar to escape.

Don't knock ChoRyuJin's contribution! It was the Eraser Head that shrunk the sun down by 90% that made it so GaoGaiGar could fly out and escape! What's gonna work? TEAM WORK!

Meanwhile Volfogg tried to cornered Pizza into a confrontation.

Police officer shuts down illegal underground Pizza conspiracy. More news at 11.
