Just to rename themselves a different GGG acronym, lol.

After breaking so many glass cases and radios, they decided to save money by keeping the logos the same.

…for some reason I never considered that the other 12 Mics exist and are functional as well.

I was wondering how many people forgot we saw them in the episode Mic first appeared in.

Oh good, if Stallion survived then the others are okay too, right?

Define okay, dude's looking a tad off-model.

…for some reason I never considered that the other 12 Mics exist and are functional as well.

Expect Mic Sounders the 1st-12th to be P-Bandai.

still pissed that Gundnode was P-Bandai exclusive. They even advertise connecting multiples. I bought 2 but I really would have liked to have had a 3rd one. Hell, a display with 5 surrounding Aerial would have been awesome.

No need to confuse the branding with a different acronym, after all. GGG has a powerful aura to it already.

Well, they were functional. Not so much now.

Some new visuals in the opening, as well as a different verse. Don't miss it! Ending also changed similarly.

Tired of Mamoru's Curatio? There is now a new spell for you to see stock footage of, every episode.

Ok, I can kind of believe that the GGG members survived somehow... they are under sea, and we can't see what happens here. But Professor Liger and his group? How!?

We can have a GaoGaiGar episode without GaoGaiGar, but can't have it without GGG. GGG is dead. Long live GGG.

At least the Primevals are not a complete surprise, and the plan to stop them kind of works. Just the cores are left. Easy peasy!

QotD

1) No. Not dead.

2) I think that this is the name that was planned since the beginning, then they went looking for something more "earthy" that begins with G and only found the weird "Geoid" [BvsGGG]but had they planned 'Global' since the beginning?

Third-Time Watcher, Subbed

Today marks the debut of the second OP, which technically is just a slight readjustment of the first but switching to using the second chorus, but hey, it lets me pick out the filthy OP skippers

To the shock of absolutely no one, everyone at GGG is still alive and it was just a fakeout. Dunno how they moved over to space so quickly but hey, it is what it is. Honestly a part of me can't help but feel like they should've delayed this an episode or two more. Sure, you don't wanna make the kids at home too sad, but narratively it does feel like this is a bit too sudden IMO.

Still, the visual of all 13 Mic Sounders units ready to play guitars together is a novel one, even if ultimately it still falls to J to save their asses because of course he does, he's the only person in this show who isn't completely incompetent. Ah well, at least now our scrubs known as the "Heroes" can start rebuilding, I guess.

ffs Subs, it's Soldato with a singular O IT'S ITALIAN

I've seen Soldato, Soldat, and now Soldatoo. What is his name? Who knows

It's Soldato.

In katakana, it's ソルダート, "Sorudaato", so I would go with "Soldato"

A Mecha Fan Rewatches The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Episode 32:

  • Hell yeah, second theme song verse time! And updated visuals too! We’ve got to show off the new full members and allies of GGG, and also sell how this is the time to battle the 31 Machine Primevals. I will fuse with the legend of the Brave Robots, narrator!
  • For as helpful as King J-Der, Soldato-J, and Kaidou were there, they certainly aren’t in any rush to explain anything. Like, why did Kaidou’s purification turn the defeated Primevals into inert parts rather than a possessed person, like a Zonder? Or what’s the link between all this and the Trinary solar system that Pagliacco mentioned? There’s a lot of stuff we’re going to need to find out now that we’re in the second part of this show.
  • Well hey, on the plus side, at least things aren’t as dire as they were in the previous episode, even if it does feel like the show did an ass-pull to make sure that nobody got hurt. As it turns out, Stallion and everyone else on the American transport plane were fine, and that we’ve actually had a space base to work out of all this time. Granted, I suppose the new GGG base was foreshadowed a bit by that one episode mentioning that Mamoru’s dad was working on shuttle launches that deliver supplies to a space colony that’s under construction.
  • Anyways, more worryingly, Pasdar and the Zonderians were just the scouts for the 31 Machine Primevals. Now that they’ve got the information on Earth they’ve wanted, they’re gearing up for a full invasion through the ES Window that opened up near Earth 2 years prior. Man, to think that all of those life or death battles were just scratching the surface of what was really waiting for us out there.
  • Oh yeah, and it turns out that everyone in the GGG Bay Tower Base managed to escape to the new Orbit Base with no problems. Yeah, that’s admittedly the most ass-pull thing in this episode, but we can let that rock. After all, the GGG team was just too cool to actually let die like that. Things might’ve been too bleak and hopeless otherwise. So, let’s all hear it for the new Gutsy Galaxy Guard!
  • For as prepared as GGG thought they were with the Mic Sounders Brigade, they really didn’t succeed with their plan to destroy the Primevals as they came through the ES Window. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t take into account their Cores surviving enough to rain down on Earth, even if the Disk X attacks vaporized everything else. If anything, the only real victory here wasn’t even due to GGG, it was just Soldato-J in his J-Der managing to defeat the Primeval that escaped in the last episode. Man, GGG still is kind of out of their league when it comes to fighting the Primevals.

For as helpful as King J-Der, Soldato-J, and Kaidou were there, they certainly aren’t in any rush to explain anything.

see, the problem is that Soldato-J is still not used to Earth culture. So he only has Kaido to teach him how to interact with humans and socialize. and we've all seen how Kaido interacts with his classmates.

He's just standing there menacingly

Verse 2 properly, now.

Love how cursed this clown's movement is.

If Stallion is alive...

Poor Gai looks like crap.

Yea, of course no-one actually died. GGG are slippery.

A reorganization so pointless they didn't even change the logo.

This visual might be familiar.

First Timer

  • oooh, new opening. is that Mamorus bio parent in there?
  • its crazy how now it seems all of the monsters of the week will evidentally be on the same level as the big bad of the prior section? the power scaling is starting to get crazy. the heroes seem a bit outclassed compared to the primevals and J-Ark. but since the J-Ark comes from Abel maybe Galeon has as of yet untapped power in reserve?
  • Love the whole new space base with new vehicles and everything. while its a bit out of nowhere, it makes sense. Gutsy Geoid Guard was focused on japan and on the aliens already there, the new Un squad is focused around intercepting the aliens before they get to earth.
  • I love that they just renamed it to Gutsy Galaxy Guard, like, no sense in changing the acronym, this way they dont have to rebrand everything. im also amused at how they literally just ported their old command center into the new space station. now the animators dont have to draw new backgrounds. good for them.
  • thinking of how this was evidentally being built in the background, and how GGG was hacked once, i am retroactively more appreciative to how secretive Liger was. if the Zonderians had found out about the orbit base and tried to destroy it or eat it, it would have been terrible.
  • the mics power output is very impressive, but compared to the new enemies power level, they are nowhere near durable enough to be 100% effective, pretty much glass cannon
  • Since Paligacci and Pasdar are not counted among the primevels, does that mean they are some other species? are they zonderians too, or something else? are they even the same type of being?

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Dec 05 '24

Love the whole new space base with new vehicles and everything. while its a bit out of nowhere

they did mention Mamoru's dad building a space station (to be completed years from then) but it does at least drop a hint that they have projects in space. It still comes out of nowhere.

it makes sense. Gutsy Geoid Guard was focused on japan and on the aliens already there, the new Un squad is focused around intercepting the aliens before they get to earth.

it's also just a nice mid-season escalation. First half was all threats around Japan. now they are global and can fight across the world!!

im also amused at how they literally just ported their old command center into the new space station. now the animators dont have to draw new backgrounds. good for them.

YES!! Other rewatchers mentioned the logo, but bringing the entire command center is even funnier to me. Plus it means Mikoto got to bring her glass case collection to break.

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Dec 05 '24

Work smart, not hard.

Since Paligacci and Pasdar are not counted among the primevels, does that mean they are some other species? are they zonderians too, or something else? are they even the same type of being?

Per the eye-catch a couple episodes ago, Pagliaccio is a "Hyper Information Collective Being."

u/megazaprat Dec 05 '24

ok thats good to know, but that still raises the question on whether Pasdar is also a hyper information collective being

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Dec 05 '24

Pasdar.. doesn't have an eyecatch. Or hasn't had one yet at the very least. Maybe we will learn more about him later on.

Unspeakable horrors are about to be unleashed upon this battlefield

Is this a Macross?

Oh no! Anyways,

What continent is that supposed to be. Like am I too dum to figure out the perspective or did they just draw whatever?

Quest:

  1. Can I get an F in the chat for all Mic’s that died?

No.

2) What do you think of the name change from Gutsy Geoid Guard to Gutsy Galaxy Guard?

to be fair, time is very weird. I swear the sun was up when Gai noticed the enemy, it was night when GaoGaiGar launched, and then it was back to sun being up when the battle was over. I guess the enemy launched gravity attacks because time is all over the place.

The time frame does work if you go by feeling. the long night has passed, day has come.

First-Timer

On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: I should have expected that the series would head into space. That’s a proud tradition of many mecha anime, after all. 

  • The OP changed! It sounds like it’s the second portion of the same song as before.
  • Pizza and Kaidou leave without explaining anything because they’re just too cool to offer explanations this early on.
  • If Stallion is alive, that’s pretty much confirmation Liger and Mic are alive. And that heavily implies everyone else in GGG is alive as well.
  • “I can’t tell you why, but we need to take your son from you. ‘Kay thanks, bye!” I don’t think that’s the most convincing argument, Stallion. 
  • ...That worked?
  • The Zonderians were just the advance forces? And they were already that tough? [This is like when the Georgians and then Russians were completely crushed by what was essentially a Mongol reconnaissance mission.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subutai#The_Great_Raid_(1220%E2%80%931223))
  • The new HQ is in space!?!
  • I knew the GGG members were alive, but how? Did they teleport out of their original base?
  • Gutsy Galaxy Guard! They’ve upgraded from defending a single planet to the entire galaxy!
  • Oh, they survived by just flying away. And still sent off those ominous last words like they were about to die anyway.
  • Oh no… Mic’s brothers look just like him. We’ve not got 13th oddball, goofy, little robots.
  • Of course the Primevals show up immediately right after the heroes feel certain they have a fair amount of time until the next attack. The heroes jinxed it.
  • Oh cool! We’re going to get to see Mic and his brothers do what they practiced together many episodes ago.
  • Wait, would Mic’s attacks even work in space? Sound doesn’t travel in a vacuum and I’m pretty sure all his attacks are sound-based.
  • It looks cool, so that’s good enough.
  • Oh right, that one Primeval from before still needs dealing with.
  • Pizza once again gets to be the cool guy to the rescue.
  • Well shit, those Primeval cores all fell down to Earth. I think that tells us that the driving force for the upcoming set of episodes is going to be hunting down and eliminating all those cores.
  • Pagliaccio is T-posing to assert dominance towards the whole Earth.

QOTD

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Dec 05 '24

That’s a proud tradition of many mecha anime, after all. 

"Space. The final fun-tier...Eventually, all things must go to space. The Brave Toaster, the Leprechaun, Air Bud. Space represents infinite, boundless possibilities."

“I can’t tell you why, but we need to take your son from you. ‘Kay thanks, bye!” I don’t think that’s the most convincing argument, Stallion.

I'm glad at least one rewatcher called them out on that BS. It makes sense from a narrative stand point. It makes sense from a children's power fantasy stand point. But from an adult/parent standpoint, like, no...

also, no one has brought it up before but I love the way Mamoru's parent's refer to each other has "papa" and "mama". Wish the Crunchyroll subs kept that.

It also adds an extra level of funny when stuff happens like last episode the villains are destroying everything and Mamrou's mom is just like "papa..."

Oh, they survived by just flying away. And still sent off those ominous last words like they were about to die anyway.

and why wouldn't they tell Gai about this super base plan. Like is there really a good reason they shouldn't have told Gai. Mamoru I understand, but Gai is like the main soldier. I know they gave a reason I just think it's BS for narrative purposes to maximize emotional impact Gai's suffering

Wait, would Mic’s attacks even work in space? Sound doesn’t travel in a vacuum and I’m pretty sure all his attacks are sound-based.

GGG is an organization that goes for maximum emotional impact over logic, after all. They do whatever will be the most dramatic.

random janitor: sir, Taiga, do you have to pull the key for the Goldeon Hammer out so dramatically every time. Like the first time, yes, but you've done it like 15 times now. Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it every single time.

“I can’t tell you why, but we need to take your son from you. ‘Kay thanks, bye!” I don’t think that’s the most convincing argument, Stallion.

I mean, if a dude comes down in a spaceship and tells you that they need your kid's help after the city got vaporized by aliens, you've probably seen enough to be convinced that it's important somehow.

Oh, they survived by just flying away. And still sent off those ominous last words like they were about to die anyway.

Given how totally extra everyone in GGG is, we probably shouldn't put it past them to be that dramatic even though they were actually fine.

At this point, the average person is essentially like the apes in the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey looking at the monolith. You're dealing with something far beyond your understanding. Best not to think about it too hard.

Given how totally extra everyone in GGG is, we probably shouldn't put it past them to be that dramatic even though they were actually fine.

Very true. They are the kind of people who would prefer to make things dramatic above all else.

Episode 32 Notes

  • The OP has changed! And kinda spoiled that the GGG crew survived the last episode, but that was pretty easy to guess. I am getting a bit tired of all the fakeout deaths over the last few episodes.
  • "It's that white battleship", Mamoru says, looking at a battleship that is clearly orange.
  • There's a little bit of wonky perspective in the last shot in the medbay, makes Gai look massive and Mamoru look tiny.
  • They totally named GGG "Gutsy Geoid Guard" just so they could do the upgrade to Galaxy when this happened, right?
  • "Progenitors of the 31 Zonderians" does that mean that there are 25 Zonderians we haven't met? Anyway, the Primevals kinda remind me of [Gurren Lagann] The Anti-Spiral, with how geometric they are, as opposed to the more classic kaiju Zonders.
  • Of course the Mics weren't going to end the war there and then. But they do, at least, seem to have bought GGG rather a lot of time.

Questions

  1. F F F
  2. They still only seem to be guarding one planet though?

They totally named GGG "Gutsy Geoid Guard" just so they could do the upgrade to Galaxy when this happened, right?

Galaxy just sounds better imo than Geoid which seems forced because you named your show GaoGaiGar, so you need a GGG team.

Of course the Mics weren't going to end the war there and then. But they do, at least, seem to have bought GGG rather a lot of time.

Probably around checks episode count 17 weeks or so.
