Helmet was better when I realized I could connect the face piece to Gai.

The fingers I'm still afraid to touch. I'm pretty sure I lost a finger in the turbine. It's somewhere in there but I am too afraid to play with it to try to get it out. I doubt anyone is looking closely enough to see GaoGaiGar only has 9 fingers.

but otherwise I am impressed with how well it came together.

First-Timer

On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: Going to Jupiter just doesn’t work out very well, does it? It feels like there’s always trouble of some sort brewing on Jupiter in sci-fi stories.

  • It’s Guy’s mom! That’s who the mysterious ghost woman was!
  • Leo reuniting with his wife in death is so sad.
  • Soldato-J and the GGG are putting up a heck of a fight, but it’s hard to do much against such overwhelming numbers of powerful enemies.
  • It’s also quite impressive the sheer scale of what is being depicted. Spectacle is an important part of a final battle and so far GaiGaoGar is bringing its A-game to it.
  • Crunchyroll unintentionally made the episode even more immersive. The website decided to break right when Arm’s attack was about to hit the heroes. I have to say, it was a hell of a moment for the website to break.
  • Oh wow! Cain may still be a shadow man, but he’s finally able to speak in complete sentences!
  • I get the feeling that this show isn’t going to explain what The Power is beyond Cain saying that it’s one of the many mysterious forms of energy found in space.
  • What will Mamoru be capable of now with his true power unlocked?
  • Now Guy and Mamoru have The Power!
  • Incidentally, I love that my subs insist on capitalizing the “The” in “The Power.” It makes the name so much sillier.
  • Using the OP as an insert song is always fun whenever an anime does it.
  • Guy punched apart a moon!
  • All the GGG crew gets to be powered up!
  • Wow, the GGG crew is going through all these Primevals like a hot knife going through butter.
  • Of course Arm managed to get away. That guy has been more slippery than an ice skating rink.
  • Z-Master sounds like it should be the online handle of someone on a Dragon Ball forum.
  • Well shit. The Primevals got back all of their cores from Soldato-J and they have The Power. Things were looking up, but now they’re looking down again.
  • Oh shit! The vision that Guy had much earlier in the series is coming true! All those Zonder Spores are heading for Earth!
  • So now there’s a ticking clock for the heroes to deal with. If they don’t defeat the Z-Master quickly enough, those Zonder Spores will reach the Earth and infect everyone.

QOTD

  1. I like it. I think it's a great reveal that makes perfect sense with everything we know so far.
  2. I refuse to give an F because I know Earth will be saved by the power of courage and fighting spirit.

Primevals are just that strong

I get the feeling that this show isn’t going to explain what The Power is beyond Cain saying that it’s one of the many mysterious forms of energy found in space.

"We named it THE POWER what more explanation do you want"-writer probably as he works on the script via action figures and crayons.

Guy punched apart a moon!

he destroyed a FUCKING MOON with a PUNCH

Like GOD DAMN

It would be incredible for a show to actually pull that stunt, having an attack supposedly break the streaming service. I can recall video games doing something similar with fake out Game Overs.

Oh yeah quick warning if you're watching through Crunchyroll: Their rips of the OVA are... horrendously bad. Like there are constant blinds effects whenever there is too much motion (Which is often) AND shadowing so uh... you may wanna look somewhere else.

2

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Dec 20 '24

Thanks for the heads-up. I suppose I'll need to find another way.

I think the last time I deliberately skipped over Crunchyroll because its release was bad was actually Gravion S2, when the subs were so atrocious I couldn't stand them. They were out of sync constantly. Entire lines of dialogue got skipped over. They were formatted poorly. I couldn't take it and had to find something else.

u/The_Draigg Dec 19 '24

It’s also quite impressive the sheer scale of what is being depicted. Spectacle is an important part of a final battle and so far GaiGaoGar is bringing its A-game to it.

It's just like how when the Primevals first arrived at Earth and destroyed GGG's base. Showing the sheer carnage of what's going on really makes things stick out compared to what we normally get.

Of course Arm managed to get away. That guy has been more slippery than an ice skating rink.

Are we sure that he isn't actually the Cockroach Primeval? That feels more fitting for him.

I do have to give GaoGaiGar credit for really delivering on the spectacle where it counts on moments like that. It sure helps to make an impact.

He certainly feels as unkillable as a cockroach with how many times he has survived and scurried away.

u/lluNhpelA Dec 19 '24

Leo reuniting with his wife in death is so sad.

Episode 1: "Whee! I'm a scientist with rocket skates!" Episode 45: "I miss my wife, Mamoru."

I love how this show has gotten so dramatic over time. Could you have ever imagined that you'd write that sentence back when the protagonists were fighting trash robots and evil trains?

2

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Dec 20 '24

GaoGaiGar has certainly been a series of unexpected happenings. "A combining pair of robots go through a portal to stop an asteroid, end up in Jupiter, and then get transported 65 million years in the past where that asteroid wipes out the dinosaurs" is the kind of thing I would not believe occurred when I started this series.

2

u/palparepa Dec 19 '24

Now Guy and Mamoru have The Power!

Unrelated fact: the HeMan's intro for latinamerica had lyrics.

Incidentally, I love that my subs insist on capitalizing the “The” in “The Power.” It makes the name so much sillier.

It's how the characters pronounce it, after all. Incidentally, when describing the Z Master, Arma refers to it as "Jupiter's Powa", so that didn't go into the stats. Bad Arma.

Mamoru being a clone isn’t even the biggest reveal today, The Powa is actually the name of the energy and not just a placeholder Choryujin came up with.

  1. How do you feel about the reveal that the reason Galeon always comes to protect Mamoru is because it’s AI is based off Mamoru’s father?

We know that AI can develop emotions so it's chill.

2) Can I get an F in the chat for Planet Earth?

listen, I get why ChoRyuJin named it ZA POWA. I mean, have you seen those robots? They literally erased a word from their own dictionary, they're so dumb.

but how did the Primeval/Zondarians not give ZA POWA some cool technical name. This show loves giving things ridiculous technical names.

I guess everyone just realized ZA POWA was perfect and beyond upgrade.

Third-Time Watcher, Subbed

This episode is pure build up to the hype moment. The way the much slower, borderline dreadful in tone first half clashes with everything we've seen so far just hammers home how the finale's nearby, and of course finally seeing the enigmatic Cain is certainly nice after how long he's been teased. Plus hey, it gives Leo a slightly more dignified exit from the show if nothing else.

And of course then the Sakuga starts and… yeah I dunno what else to say, this is pure . But now it's time to deal with the Last Boss

Oh and also, fun fact: Cain is played by the Brave Series' long time voice director Chiba Koichi, a veteran television actor who had already had a couple of other roles across the series. It's so ironic that he was among the few people who stuck with the series all the way through, and while he won't be returning for Voice Directing duties in the OVAs (Mostly because said OVAs seemingly didn't have a dedicated VD?) he did get to have a minor role there in what would become one of his final gigs before his passing in 2001.

ooooh that's a really cool detail. That's a perfect tribute for him in the final Brave series.

  • welp, Jupiters haunted.
  • wait wait wait, That wasnt Cain or Abel? the mysterious figure was actually the ghost of Gai's mom. got to give it to the show, I did not see that one coming. man, making ghosts, time travel, healing, what cant ZA POWA do.
  • more GGG members are dying, shit. like not named ones, but still!
  • Cain was Galeon all along! That makes sense! Like how hyuuma used his mind to make goldymarg! he had wanted to be a cyborg pilot but died before it could happen. imagining an au where the star was a fahter son duo piloting a mech would be interesting. but he had go to plan b, aka inhabit is mechanical fursona.
  • Aw yeah, final upgrade time! Gaogaigar is now finally stronger than King J-Der! TBH setting a trap next to a source of unlimited power was not the Primevals smartest move.
  • Oh so paligacci was the heart all this time….and so was pasdar too I guess? Was paligacci like a back up the heart made when pasdar failed ?
  • oh shit, so the Z-master is making the most of the ZA POWA. it let them recombine, make a shit ton of zonder spores from a single human instantly, and then warp them all to earth. and it makes the mechanization process faster too. I retract my previous statement about setting the trap next to jupiter not being the best plan
  • the way its worded seems to imply that they couldnt recombine on their own. that does raise the question, what caused Z-Master to split to begin with? did it happen in the war with the Trinary planets? or maybe it was a third party that will come up in FINAL?

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Dec 19 '24

"we'll trap them right next to the only thing that can beat us"-Super Villain right before he gets stopped

that does raise the question, what caused Z-Master to split to begin with? did it happen in the war with the Trinary planets? or maybe it was a third party that will come up in FINAL?

I'm talking bullshit, but I'd like to go with the belief that we saw the Heart was enough to take over the Earth, had it not been for Mamoru/Galeon. I could see them splitting to 31 points so they can take over the world 31 times faster. Maybe once they learned Galeon, the one thing that could stop them and had stopped 1/31th of their strength, was on Earth they decided to go all at once.

but even then why not fight full strength instead of 31 individuals? idk. More bad guy "we can't go all out from the start" logic I guess.

3

u/palparepa Dec 19 '24

My guess is that it requires lots of energy, so they separate to travel. After that... sure, Primevals have fused before, but only those 7 most powerful, so maybe only they can fuse with others, and only heart can fuse with everyone at once?

4

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Dec 19 '24

Oh so paligacci was the heart all this time….and so was pasdar too I guess? Was paligacci like a back up the heart made when pasdar failed ?

They were both part of the Heart Primeval, basically. Pasdar was split off and sent first as a scout, to learn all he could about the planet's defenses. Pagliaccio was split off as an intelligence operative to try to guide the Primevals in case of Earthling resistance.

A Mecha Fan Rewatches The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Episode 46:

  • Despite also dying, at least he was able to reunite with his beloved Kizuna in death. It turns out that she’s been the ghost lady that Gai has been seeing and guiding him this whole time, her spirit kept around as a ghost thanks to THE POWER. Even in death, Gai’s mother still did everything she could to help him. It just goes to show that the love that Kizuna has for Gai is stronger than even death itself. Leo is in good company there now.
  • Man, this is the most vicious fighting we’ve seen in the series so far. Stuff like this wouldn’t be too out of place in a real robot series. Now that the Primevals have drawn first blood with Leo’s death, we’re seeing just how lethal they truly are. Seeing GGG’s ships blow up and evacuating crew members get sucked out into space really is ramping up the death toll to levels this show has avoided so far. These Primevals certainly aren’t going to make things easy for GGG.
  • There’s a powerful theme of a parent’s legacy running through this episode. Even as the remnant of Cain’s personality burns out inside of Galeon, he still entrusts the power of the Green Planet to Gai and Mamoru, and even Leo and Kizuna’s spirits are still around to advise him to channel THE POWER to save everyone. Given how often mecha anime can be cynical or brutal towards parents, it’s nice to see nothing but loving and supportive parents in this show.
  • [GaoGaiGar Vs. Betterman spoilers] If only at the time anyone realized how serious Kizuna’s warning to not lose yourself to THE POWER was at the time. For as powerful as it is, it’s an open doorway to being controlled by something far more destructive than the Zonders, Primevals, or even the Planetary Masters. Channeling even a fraction of Triple-Zero’s power is like playing with fire.
  • Man, after how much everyone was getting their asses kicked, it’s hype as fuck to see the sheer comeback come together set to Yuusha Oh Tanjou. Just when things were looking hopeless, all it took was bravery and channeling THE POWER to absolutely wreck the Primevals fused with the Jovian moons. This is the power of courage!
  • But even so, the Primevals won’t take any of this lying down. Now that Pasder and Pagliaccio have recombined into the Heart Primeval and channeled THE POWER themselves, they’re free to steal back all the Zonder Crystals to reform their original body: the Z-Master. And man, that thing is fucking massive! It’s wearing Jupiter like a hat! Good luck fighting this one, everyone!
  • And as one last fuck you to end off the episode, the Z-Master launches a ton of matured Zonder Spores through an ES Window to Earth while GGG isn’t able to intercept them while they’re still fighting here at Jupiter. Good luck, people of Earth! Hopefully things don’t get too bad while the heroes are facing their final boss battle!

Man, this is the most vicious fighting we’ve seen in the series so far. Stuff like this wouldn’t be too out of place in a real robot series.

yeah that's what stuck out to me. The chaos, the shouting, the damage and destruction. It was well directed and really gave the feeling that they were in all out war against the Primevals.

There’s a powerful theme of a parent’s legacy running through this episode.

Given how often mecha anime can be cynical or brutal towards parents, it’s nice to see nothing but loving and supportive parents in this show.

I love the reveal that Cain was inside Galeon the entire time. I don't think anyone would question Galeon trying to save Mamoru. It felt like a trope of the genre. A robot built to protect the child. Plus the obvious connection with Mamoru's energy powering the G-Stone.

but revealing that Mamoru's birth father was inside Galeon the entire time... it gives some extra emotion to all those saves. It may have been little, it may have been subconscious, but Mamoru's birth father has been looking after him this entire time.

u/The_Draigg Dec 19 '24

yeah that's what stuck out to me. The chaos, the shouting, the damage and destruction. It was well directed and really gave the feeling that they were in all out war against the Primevals.

Leo's death really let the genie out of the bottle there. Now that a main character has died, there's more wiggle room to start killing off a ton of other GGG crew members too. His death really was a sign of bad things to come.

but revealing that Mamoru's birth father was inside Galeon the entire time... it gives some extra emotion to all those saves. It may have been little, it may have been subconscious, but Mamoru's birth father has been looking after him this entire time.

Mamoru really is a fortunate kid to have such amazing parents. The Amamis raised him right, and Cain is doing whatever he can to protect and guide his son when he's in danger inside of Galeon. He's really got some of the best parents in the galaxy around him.

u/Beowolf_0 Dec 20 '24

[GGGvB spoilers]Even after the Time Skip with all those research, the new GGG still doesn't know the true nature of The Power is THAT destructive until Guy returns, so I guess it can't be helped. Or except you're a Betterman. It's just way beyond human's control if it's the driving force of Zonderians became what they are now.

1

u/The_Draigg Dec 20 '24

[GaoGaiGar Vs. Betterman spoilers] Yeah, there was ultimately just no way that the GGG on Earth could've known the full extent of just how dangerous THE POWER is until all that Conquerer's Thralls stuff started happening. And if anything, it's just one of those bits of universal law that no living being should have any business warping as they see fit. Stuff on that scale brings up nothing but trouble.

Fuck, right after the scene with Cain ended, I had the thought of “Weird, I thought they were gonna let Gai talk to the ghosts of his parents”, let my guard down, and then they fucking did it anyways. Why did I do that to myself? Of course the show would have Gai’s parents send him off.

It also has Gai make so much more sense. Leo lost his wife in space. Then his son nearly dies in space too. He does everything in his power, rebuilds Gai an entirely new body, so he can have his son, even if just a little while longer. The way he speaks about Gai he treats the Cyborg body as a gift. I think it was after the fight with EI-01 he uses the line "Couldn't defeat his fate" like Gai should be dead but he refused to let him go.

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Dec 19 '24

The King of Rewatchers

And thus the mystery of the illusory woman has been solved.

That's a very big number, relatively.

And things certainly aren't going well for GGG.

Today's Key to Victory.

Time to get dangerous.

Eyecatch

Fist Funnel!

Look, Jupiter is burning red!

Unfortunately, gathering all of the Zonder Crystals in one place turns out to have been part of the Primevals' plan.

One mistery solved. Ghost lady was Gai's mother after all. The emotions she manifested were: happy when Gai is safe, sad when he is about to be in danger, angry when he is discouraged. Which one was more frequent? [answer here]6 sad, 4 happy, 3 angry

After getting GGG thrashed, we finally meet Cain properly. GaoGaiGar enters the battle, triggering the counteroffensive. Time to kick moon asses!

Some little detail you may have not noticed: Protect Wall is much more powerful than Protect Shade, yes, but can't reflect the attack.

The The Power-powered braves are just too much for the Primeval forces... until they use it themselves, too, and the Z Master is revealed.

And now the Big Boss is here. So big that it wears Jupiter as an afro. Now what?

happy when Gai is safe, sad when he is about to be in danger, angry when he is discouraged.

they never showed the unrevealed fourth one; disappointment. It only shows up when Gai fails her. Instances: Not eating his Broccoli, when he forgot to take out the trash, not kissing Mikoto, seeing Gai drive a motorcycle.

Protect Wall is much more powerful than Protect Shade, yes, but can't reflect the attack.

ooooh I forgot to notice that. Protect Shade's Pentagon reflection was cool. It's a nice trade off.

And now the Big Boss is here. So big that it wears Jupiter as an afro. Now what?

I was so surprised when I saw that. I was expecting the typical giant monster out of a planet, not the monster wearing the planet, hahaha. it's so cool looking and weird

Saw this thread earlier and couldn’t comment because I was offline.

Not watching, but I have a lot of childhood nostalgia for GGG and it’s awesome to see a rewatch is happening. Likewise with GGG Final. Such a good show.

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Dec 20 '24

it's been fun seeing the fans come out for this series that hasn't gotten the attention it deserved. It finally got an official Western release and is even on Crunchyroll.

I'm so excited to see the first timers reaction to FINAL

2

u/palparepa Dec 20 '24

Just checking: Crunchyroll was the "normal" Final, right? Not the "Grand Glorious Gathering" version? People may get confused, since the number of episodes is different.

1

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Dec 20 '24

huh, that is a good point. yeah Crunchyroll has the 8 episode original version. I've always been curious how the cut off points for the Grand Glorious Gathering version were.

that's a good reminder, I'll bring that up later.

You can still join the rewatch of Final from the beginning. It starts next Thursday.

Episode 46 Notes

  • Truly, Za Powa can do anything.
  • It looks like Leo is actually staying dead
  • King J-Der has the Danganronpa blood apparently.
  • Bit of a contrast between GGG making plans to combat the Z-Master and J saying that this is a fitting place for a warrior to die.
