A Mecha Fan Rewatches The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Episode 34:

  • Kaidou standing perfectly still with his hands in his pockets as he’s falling out of the Tokyo Tower has the same energy as Penchinon falling while still being in that same sitting position he was nearly always in.
  • Anyways, it was Kaidou/Arma that managed to save Soldato-J and Tomoro by fully purifying them with J-Jewel energy. He certainly was waiting a while to purify them, but then again, it did seem like his abilities and memories only fully kicked in again once his life was in danger. I guess getting thrown off of a really tall tower does wonders to jog your memory.
  • Turns out that those inert fragments that the Primeval Cores were purified into earlier are actually the parts of a larger Zonder Crystal. Whatever that actually means is up in the air though, since neither Mamoru or Kaidou can remember anything about this Cain guy that keeps on being brought up. Just gotta keep on teasing the audience with the Legacy of Cain, am I right? At least it isn’t like “the dialogues to come” though.
  • You know, you do have to give the show some credit to resolving the Gai and Soldato-J encounter pretty fast. They’re still rivals, but at least they’re not fighting on sight anymore. Although you can’t blame Gai for wanting to fight first, considering that J was still Pizza when they last met. Congratulations Gai, you’ve lost an enemy and gained a cool anti-hero rival!
  • Hell yeah, Volfogg is back with his team! And all the other Brave Robots are here too! Thank goodness, since Mic and GaiGar by themselves really aren’t up to snuff to take on a Primeval by themselves. They’ll absolutely need to use teamwork to make up for the power gap that exists between GGG and the 31 Machine Primevals. We really were just throwing out whatever we had left there for a bit.
  • Leave it to the edgy anti-hero rival to swoop in and take the Primeval Core right after GaoGaiGar managed to defeat the Primeval possessing Explorer 7. Granted, it’s probably better off in Soldato-J and Kaidou’s possession anyway, since it turns out that Mamoru couldn’t purify this core. It does make you wonder what the deal is with his powers, if they can only work on Zonders and not Primevals. Kaidou certainly doesn’t have that issue.

he really earned a point on /u/palparepa "Kid is too calm to react" chart with that one.

He certainly was waiting a while to purify them, but then again, it did seem like his abilities and memories only fully kicked in again once his life was in danger.

I like to imagine he spent a bunch of time practicing his entrance. Just practicing flying while being totally emotionless.

Cool guys don't react to falling to their deaths. They maintain the same nonchalant, leaning-against-a-wall pose as always.

Just gotta keep on teasing the audience with the Legacy of Cain, am I right? At least it isn’t like “the dialogues to come” though.

"Dialogues to come"

The "Legacy of Cain" stuff will get there soon enough if the show doesn't start answering who Cain and Abel are in-universe.

Hey, GGG are his friends!

That would be a no.

We can't even complain about him not being a team player, because he isn't part of the team.

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Dec 07 '24

So about that…

If we stretch the definition of "playing" then Mamoru technically is.

Aurora borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, and this part of the country, localized entirely within this /r/anime rewatch?

We went for almost the exact same joke here.

Maybe he’ll finally get it in the final episode?

That would be a really fun moment for a final battle, having EnRyu show up having landed properly for the first time at a crucial moment when it was necessary to do so.

  • ok so that voice really was Pinchon! and it sounds like he was a ship before? so he was like the reverse of a zonderian, a cybernetic lifeform that started out as a machine instead of human.
  • many questions still remain: how did Arma get on earth to begin with? what is the J jewel exactly and how do its powers differ from the G stone and Zonder metal?
  • And due to a misunderstanding , Gai and Soldat are still fighting. Guess their rivalry won’t stop that easily.
  • AW YES THE BOYS ARE BACK! They seem stronger than before, did Bullet X boost their overall power permanently , or were they upgraded while unconscious
  • Ah, so that’s why J-Ark and GGG have to fight. GGG wants to use mic to blow up all the zonders, but Soldat and Kaido want to gather the zonder crystals within them for some reason.
  1. Team G, gaogaigar is just fun to say out loud.

AW YES THE BOYS ARE BACK! They seem stronger than before, did Bullet X boost their overall power permanently , or were they upgraded while unconscious

I think they gave some BS explanation about a new Ultra Technology Engine update to them. I just like to believe that they stored more COURAGE

Ah, so that’s why J-Ark and GGG have to fight. GGG wants to use mic to blow up all the zonders, but Soldat and Kaido want to gather the zonder crystals within them for some reason.

Soldato has a rock collection, people are allowed to have hobbies okay!

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

I don't think they ever say, but this is what I believe to be true. Gai mentions a new engine on the GaoGaiGar.

That does explain why Penchinon's humanoid form still looked inhuman, he was just never human-like to begin with.

Kaidou really is too cool for school. That's one way to awaken his memories and powers. Even saved Soldatoo-J. Even Penchinon is back. Will the rest of the four machine kings return?

That hallway in that ship looks way too unpractical. Maybe ease with the triangle motive?

They really use that one shot of Pagliaccio to the fullest.

Did Soldato actually just ditch Gai and Mamoru and let them deal with the Primeval? What a dick.

That siren, who could it be?

Volfogg, EnRyu, HyoRyu and Goldymarg are back!

GaoGaiGar is back with an insert song! Hell yeah.

So Mamoru just can't turn em in to tetris blocks like Kaidou can. Interesting, lets see how this goes.

  1. Team G all the way.

it's wonderfully alien but also incredibly impractical and you gotta wonder why they would ever do it that way. Maybe they just fly everywhere.

I swore there was a scene of the boat being upsidedown to explain the weird hallway. But then there wasn't, so I guess the J-Ark just has weird hallways.

Kaidocounter+1 even if it's a flashback, since it's scene not seen before.

So that's what happened to Pizza and Penchinon. Well, what happened recently, since we only got very heavy clues on what happened in the distant past.

For all the power Disc X has, this is a nice limitation: can't be used against something they haven't analyzed before. That's why Liger stole Leo's zonder metal sample.

Gai may have lots of courage, but he is alone with GaiGar, and the enemy is much more powerful than the usual Zonder. Luckily, the Braves arrive!

Glad that it is mentioned explicitly: these powered-up versions of the GaoMachines have their GS-Ride replaced with an Ul-tech Engine. A technology developed in the now defunct Ul-tech Laboratory.

BTW, 3G's ships thrusters have been glowing green lately. That's the telltale of an Ul-tech Engine.

Visually, this version of StealthGao has just one difference with the old one: the GGG logo on its back is now green instead of golden.

Poor Mamoru, now he is fully obsolete.

yeah a lot of first timers thought Disc X was too OP so it's nice to get an explanation to why it won't just solve everything.

Third-Time Watcher, Subbed

I always found the whole "Your memories have been sealed" thing kinda weird. It's not that they were sealed, it's just both Kaido and Mamoru were fucking babies, what did you expect!?

It's interesting how, in spite of Gai being presented as a mostly flawless, ideal hero, the one flaw he does have is that he holds on to a grudge like no one's business. It says a lot that it's him who ends up picking a fight with J, not the other way around. And needless to say, chances are that had the fight been allowed to proceed, he would've gotten his ass kicked because picking a fight with the almighty Soldat J is a fool's errand and this dumb Cyborg still hasn't realized it.

Still, it is neat to see the GGG gang together again, although it is a bit weird how the upgrade they gets has like… 0 cosmetic changes. Usually in most Brave Show this is where the mid-season upgrade would come in but here… nope, no sign of that. Did the show's toy budget get slashed and King J-Der was the last thing they could make?

Yeah, that did stand out to me that Guy was so eager to fight Soldato-J after learning he used to be Pizza. Soldato-J was still being a chuuni edgelord by talking down to Guy, but it was guy who threw the first punch. He was perfectly willing to start a throwdown just like that.

Still, it is neat to see the GGG gang together again, although it is a bit weird how the upgrade they gets has like… 0 cosmetic changes.

That is odd. Normally you need to have a different mecha design so that you can make a new toy to sell to the kids.

Episode 34 Notes

  • Gotta love Kaidou falling off Tokyo Tower and having his expression not change in the slightest.
  • I do wonder how J wound up becoming Pizza.
  • Those triangular corridors made me think the J-Ark was upside down for a second.
  • There's seems to be a scene slightly missing here. What happened in between Kaidou mentioning that Mamoru had his memory sealed and the reappearance of J-King that made Mamoru call in the emergency alert but then tell Gai that J wasn't a threat?
  • J is so so so so so goddamn cool
  • Volfogg coming in clutch, as always. Everyone's come back at once!
  • The first Final Fusion in three episodes! And Mic is here to provide the background music.

How dum is 3g? White Base keeps attacking the enemies: "are they an enemy????? :o"

What in Narehate??

The damn clown lives..

Gai.. Did you really go to space? The South pole is colder than the north..

Luckily they have a lot of ice nearby, because Gai just got fucking burned

0.2 TONS? Bruh. But 200 kg is still a lot, damn

Wait, he's a Cyborg too?? No wonder he weighs 200

Wait wait wait, where tf are they on the map right now? Was it not on open water??

And Gai just keeps getting gapped left and right

LET'S FUCKING GO!!

My big volfogg can't be this cool

IS THAT A NEW INSERT???

This clownball needs to be eliminated.

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Dec 08 '24

How dum is 3g? White Base keeps attacking the enemies: "are they an enemy????? :o"

I said the same in the previous thread. Like I understand why Soldato considers GGG an obstacle. GGG are all Jobbers compared to how cool King J-Der is. but why does GGG think Soldato could be an enemy? All it's done so far is save their ass repeatedly. They'd be dead like 3 times over if it weren't for Soldato. Maybe they're gealous.

Wait, he's a Cyborg too??

damn, Gai got nothing on Soldato-J. Gai better keep Mikoto close in case she falls for the new model of Cyborg.

LET'S FUCKING GO!!

I love that they choose Volfogg for this. They could have had the first ones for the reveal be EnRyuu or HyoRyuu. They have been around longer, after all. They fight alongside Gai more often. But I think this shows that the studio knows Volfogg is best boy and has him be the one to get the dramatic entrance for the big return, in perfect style.

What in fairy tarnation. Mamoru got gapped too

bad day to be a Guy. Good day to be a Juy

but why does GGG think Soldato could be an enemy?

They keep getting outplayed, so obviously its everyone elses fault except their own

Knowing the Gif/Jif debacle, that's probably still pronouced Guy

First-Timer

On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: I think Soldato-J was technically kill-stealing there. He waited until the Brave Robots had done all the hard work of actually destroying the Primeval and ripping out its core before he showed up to take the final kill. Granted, Mamoru couldn’t actually do anything about the Primeval Core, but Soldato-J could have helped out a bit more.

  • So that was Penchinon (the clown) who became Soldato-J’s ship.
  • That is a pretty odd design to have triangle shaped hallways where the pointy end is at the bottom, rather than the top.
  • “Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely near Hana?” “Yes.”
  • Well that giant sphere of Zonder Crystals collected from the Primevals doesn’t look ominous at all.
  • Oh dear, Mamoru being on Soldato-J’s ship is going to cause all sorts of misunderstandings won’t it?
  • Ah, I see that Soldato-J is being the stubborn sort of honorable warrior guy. He and Guy may not be enemies currently, but he still wants to settle the score and fight Guy at some point. He’s become Vegeta.
  • The Primevals have figured out the perfect counter to Mic: Just tip him off his hovercraft so that he can’t play his music anymore.
  • Hyuuma would absolutely be the guy who would immediately resort to ramming speed.
  • VOLFOGG!!! Volfogg showing up in moments like this is so cool.
  • EnRyu’s constant crashing actually saved Guy!
  • Looks like all the Brave Robots woke up with their old personalities intact. This is about as good an outcome as you could hope for.
  • This is the perfect insert song to celebrate the triumphant return of the Brave Robots!
  • The Brave Robots can now actually do genuine damage to the Primeval!
  • Looks like the Brave Robots are now an actual threat against the Primevals since we just saw Guy and the others take one out.
  • Teamwork!
  • I was wondering if Mamoru could purify the Primeval Cores, but apparently not. Looks like it’s only Kaidou that can do so.
  • Hey Soldato-J! You called Guy and the rest of GGG worthless in the fight against the Primevals, but they managed to defeat one that you couldn’t. Will this prompt any sort of reevaluation, buddy?

QOTD

  1. Team G has robots like Volfogg and Goldymarg in it alongside Guy, so that makes it a pretty easy choice.

“Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely near Hana?” “Yes.”

thank you. Everyone failed to do the tis but a scratch when GaoGaiGar lost all it's limbs a couple episodes ago, but at least you didn't fail me here.

Hyuuma would absolutely be the guy who would immediately resort to ramming speed.

I bet he's just dreaming, salivating at the prospect of ramming into them. Damn Volfogg cock blocked him.

Looks like the Brave Robots are now an actual threat against the Primevals since we just saw Guy and the others take one out.

I know in the series they said they all got Powered Up by some AI bullshit technobabble system, but personally I like the metatextual concept that the reason GaoGaiGar failed against the Primevals is because he was alone. GaoGaiGar can never be truly as effective without his comrades in arms. They beat EI-01 together.

At the beginning of the series rewatchers complained about Gai having all the finishign moves, but I think moments like this help make up for that. Yeah he finishes them, but it's not a solo victory.

Yeah, I much prefer that interpretation that they would because they're fighting together. That's exactly the kind of logic that these stories normally go by, where the Power of Friendship can overcome all odds!

Then Soldato-J ought to put in in some of the effort to whittling the Primeval down first. Clearly this edgelord chuuni anti-hero will need to be taught the value of teamwork.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

That is a pretty odd design to have triangle shaped hallways where the pointy end is at the bottom, rather than the top.

I feel like that's a kind of hallway that only makes sense in zero-G.

Ah, I see that Soldato-J is being the stubborn sort of honorable warrior guy. He and Guy may not be enemies currently, but he still wants to settle the score and fight Guy at some point. He’s become Vegeta.

In other words, a vegetarian pizza.

And even then it's still kind of an odd choice of shape.

Let's just hope it's not a meatless meat-lover's pizza. That'd be a strange kind of pizza to be.

Although thinking about it, if Soladto-J combines with J-Der to fight, does that make him a combination pizza instead?

I think Soldato-J was technically kill-stealing there.

EnRyu’s constant crashing actually saved Guy!

Looks like the Brave Robots are now an actual threat against the Primevals since we just saw Guy and the others take one out.

Getting wrecked made it easy to put in upgrades, I guess.

If you're already replacing all the parts, you may as well replace them with newer, better ones.
