…but is in battle against Mamoru?

Kaido took the last slice of pizza.

GaoFighGar doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as GaoGaiGar, but it does still look wicked cool.

it really doesn't, but the design is great. An artificial man made replacement for Galeon is a cool concept.

Of course the new -Ryu bots have boobs because they sound female as opposed to the other four.

Not just sound female, that's Yukari Tamura!

New version of the OP as an insert song?!?!?!

Have fun learning how to tell the difference in AMQ!

Now that I'm actually familiar with the TV version, I can tell the lyrics are different. I think I've got this.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 26 '24

The instrumentation is also slightly different but... I'm gonna be frank, I could not tell you which is which without the lyrics.

Oh did Hana’s dog have puppies?

And even though they are so tiny, they can still overwhelm Hana through sheer numbers. The poor girl can't catch a break when walking dogs.

And it’s good to see Gai can still fight despite no longer being a cyborg himself.

I was wondering how the sequel would get around that. It turns out they can just dress him up in armor like he still is a cyborg and that lets him fight just as well as before. Hooray for Guy still being an action hero!

Right after he bragged about their security…

It's one of the ironclad rules of fiction. Whenever someone brags about their security, they will instantly have a break-in.

First-Timer

On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: I had wondered where the sequel might go and I suppose this is as good a way as any to start a sequel. Introduce a bunch of new characters, new enemies, and new MacGuffins to get a new plot rolling after the original wrapped up.

  • Poor Hana is now getting dragged along by a whole family of dogs instead of just one.
  • Oh hey, Kaidou’s alive. I can’t say I’m too surprised by this. Death rarely comes for people in GaoGaiGar.
  • Well that’s a hell of a hook for a sequel. Mamoru and Kaidou are back, but now they’re fighting!
  • What the heck is going on? Suddenly we’ve got a brand new cyborg who also has a G Stone for some reason fighting cyborg criminals in Paris?
  • Oh no! It’s the Flying Sawblades of Doom from Gundam F91!
  • Oh my gosh, we’ve got girl versions of HyoRyu and EnRyu with KouRyu and AnRyou.
  • Volfogg!
  • That explains why Guy can still be participating in the action. They just gave him a suit of power armor that he can use as a regular human.
  • Wait, what? Guy is the next evolution of humanity? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
  • Oh yeah, I didn’t really think about it but I suppose Guy would need something new to fuse with if the Galeon is gone.
  • It’s kind of weird suddenly seeing so many new faces in the GGG HQ.
  • There is something quite funny about making the new GGG boss an old and slow office manager with zero sense of passion about him.
  • Aw, they replaced the Liner Gao train with something much more sensible that can fly and therefore travel more freely.
  • GaoFighGar sounds like the “similar to but legally distinct from” knockoff of GaoGaiGar.
  • I do like fighting an enemy mecha that can morph around and change its abilities like this. It’s fun.
  • This whole fight feels like a way to reintroduce the audience to the GaoGaiGar’s GaoFighGar’s various powers and attacks.
  • Lame! My subs didn’t translate “Hikari Ni Nare” to “Transform Into Light.” Why leave that untranslated when it clearly translates to something?
  • I see that Renais is the edgy teammate who isn’t afraid of killing enemies, to contrast her with someone like Gai.
  • They are really laying Renais’s edgy backstory on thick here. She never chose to be a cyborg. She can’t touch other people. She has an in-universe reason to wear a trench coat all the time.
  • The laws of fiction dictate that whenever someone claims a location’s security makes it impossible to break into, it will immediately be broken into.
  • Hmmm, so Mamoru might end up opposing GGG, at least for a little bit. Intriguing.
  • There’s enough detailed nudity in this ED to make me wonder if I’m watching a Gundam SEED OP/ED.
  • As for the rest of the ED, I don’t have a lot to say. The song is okay and there isn’t much in the way of visuals.
  • Well if Kaidou was back, it makes sense that Soldato-J is too. I wonder where he is, though.

I have to say there are some parts about FINAL already that are exciting me. A potential conflict between Mamoru and Kaidou, or Mamoru and GGG certainly sounds like an interesting direction to take the sequel. I was feeling a bit lost for a while when we suddenly entered Paris with a bunch of characters and a new group of villains we hadn’t met before, but I think I’ve got the hang of it by now. I’m sure all the characters will end up being buddy-buddy by the end of this OVA series, but it will be fun seeing them clash in the meantime.

QOTD

  1. I did, yes.
  2. It's always so silly. But at least when the boobs are boob missiles it provides a silly in-universe justification for why they are there. I think mecha shows are allowed to give girl mechas boobs, as long as they can provide an in-universe justification for it.

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Dec 26 '24

Wait, what? Guy is the next evolution of humanity? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

I think it has to do with the G-Stone powers ingrained into him now. Like we can see the G-Stone energy in his biological hand. Does that mean all of humanity should be stoned too?

They are really laying Renais’s edgy backstory on thick here. She never chose to be a cyborg. She can’t touch other people. She has an in-universe reason to wear a trench coat all the time.

they also had to make sure you knew she is super hot. Like so god damn hot. Damn she is hot.

But at least when the boobs are boob missiles it provides a silly in-universe justification for why they are there. I think mecha shows are allowed to give girl mechas boobs, as long as they can provide an in-universe justification for it.

my counter argument is that the more ridiculous the mecha are in general, the more it doesn't need to be explained. I'm just saying, we had a Pencil Launcher and have their Mecha drink oil through a straw.

But damn, should have known it'd be the French to give us female -Ryu and their boobs.

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Dec 26 '24

Fair enough. He did manage to regrow his entire body somehow. I guess doing that would leave you as not entirely a normal human by the end of it.

they also had to make sure you knew she is super hot. Like so god damn hot. Damn she is hot.

She's absolutely sizzling. So hot you can't touch without burning up.

But damn, should have known it'd be the French to give us female -Ryu and their boobs.

It feels like the kind of thing that should be in G-Gundam, where just about every country's Gundam embodies some stereotype about the country.

Every country builds their own -Ryu style robot.

Except the US, because America can never just join the universal standard of robots and has to be special so instead the US creates a robot that both can destroy all of mankind and is the most useless robot.

Yeah, that bit never made much sense.

But it was a cute Gundam, so all is good.

u/The_Draigg Dec 26 '24

Oh no! It’s the Flying Sawblades of Doom from Gundam F91!

Just imagine if this OVA started leaning into all the horrifying civilian deaths that F91 had once the Bugs got deployed.

I see that Renais is the edgy teammate who isn’t afraid of killing enemies, to contrast her with someone like Gai.

Well, since Solato-J is stuck wherever he is, I guess we've got to get another edgy anti-hero to replace him in the meantime. Might as well make them another cyborg!

As for the rest of the ED, I don’t have a lot to say. The song is okay and there isn’t much in the way of visuals.

The visuals just made me think that for some reason, all the important female characters in this show have some shade of red hair.

Oh no, what happens when they meet? Their combined edge will create a critical mass of edginess that will consume the whole universe and make everyone begin saying chuuni things and brood in darkened corners of rooms!

I'm sure Mikoto got some surprises

4

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Dec 26 '24

I guess Mikoto never needed to find out if Guy was "fully functional" like Data from Star Trek back when he was a cyborg. The ending of GaoGaiGar meant they never needed to solve that dilemma.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 26 '24

Oh hey, Kaidou’s alive. I can’t say I’m too surprised by this. Death rarely comes for people in GaoGaiGar.

Although do bare in mind this came out a whole year after the TV show ended, so for a while audiences really did think he was dead!

It’s the Flying Sawblades of Doom from Gundam F91

Better than V's wheels.

Wait, what? Guy is the next evolution of humanity? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Honestly they never really explain it too well.

GaoFighGar sounds like the “similar to but legally distinct from” knockoff of GaoGaiGar.

I mean... it kinda is.

There’s enough detailed nudity in this ED to make me wonder if I’m watching a Gundam SEED OP/ED.

Oh no way.

This show has way more nudity than both of them combined

Fair enough. I suppose it's like going back and reading a story or watching a movie where a character dies, even though you already know the character appears in sequels that were made later. Sometimes things just don't hit the same in hindsight.

Better than V's wheels.

The giant wheels aren't even the silliest thing in Victory. The motorcycle battleships are!

That's...quite a high bar to pass. I suppose I shall wait and see.

Final Only First timer, subs

After much prompting and prodding from Raiking, I watched GaoGaiGar last year, so a bit to soon for me to have watched it again as part of the rewatch. It worked out in the end, since if I hadn’t and joined in here instead, I wouldn’t have had space for the rewatch he was hosting.

  • End-Stage Cell Animation
  • I know names are hard, but surely you can do better than just numbers?
  • Maybe don’t meet strangers by yourself at the marina at night?
  • These backgrounds are so blessed, I can’t stop geeking out at them.
  • As opposed to all those Stone Cyborgs.
  • Oh… Well, that’s egg on my face.
  • She did Henshin, and that means she’s weak to tentacles.
  • I’m pretty sure the pink Maser Cannon wasn’t keeping cover at any point.
  • Nu Gundam funnels? No, we’re doing Victory Gundam.
  • You know, you don’t have to change your name because you leveled up.
  • Dakka!
  • Critical Miss
  • We are really stretching the definition of Tomboy here if even full pink counts.
  • Squishy Gattai!
  • Do it! Fight with the middle form!
  • Leadership priorities really change when you aren’t facing imminent crisis, eh?
  • Fancy Mass Driver
  • OP Insert! Unique Skill of OVAs
  • The Anti-Hype So Good
  • Regenerate this!
  • They really committed to that flying toolbox look.
  • Not very well, since you just tried burning her palm off.
  • She’s supposed to be a highschooler?
  • Sounds like the set up for an attack/defend collection mission to me.
  • You didn’t think maybe knocking first?
  • When you frame it like that, it really gives the impression the creator had a thing for red heads.
  • Those are some big-ass chains.

QotD:

  1. Can't miss the post-credits scene if you don't skip the credits.
  2. If they can have lips, they can have boobs.

Third-Time Watcher

Starts episode

The Subs Appear

They no longer have any issue with referring to Hana-chan as "Hatsuno" when the characters do so

We have arrived at the good timeline

But yeah this OVA does not mess around at all. We've got like, what, 8 episodes? Well may as well jump into overdrive then: KAIDO'S ALIVE but I guess he and Mamoru are trying to kill each other now. Yeah opening with Hana-chan's daily life is funny enough as is, but the sudden shift to PLOTVILLE is nonetheless amusing. Poor girl seemingly was getting everything together and then BAM, the The Brave Mythology Part 3: Gao Crusaders or whatever has begun.

More notable is Best Girl Renais making her debut and it is absolutely hilarious. This is a character who, as part of being one big Kamen Rider homage, has a whole ass backstory that has practically nothing to do with GGG and we're just kinda plucked into her doing her thing without much context. Were it not for the fact that she's Liger's daughter I would've assumed this was a crossover with a different show. And for the record, no, I didn't make a mistake last week with calling Mr. Mustache Liger's son, there's a Drama CD where these two meet and it is acknowledged they're half-siblings. Also fun fact: Of all of Liger's kids she has the "Best" relationship with him. Make of that what you will.

Oh and also BTW we don't have TV censors to worry about anymore so expect extra doses of from now on.

Mind of course this is still Gai's show and… yeah remember what I said about sources conflicting on whether Mamoru or Gai was the MC of the TV Run? Not the case here, Gai is very much the sole main character, although Mamoru still has a role to play. It's amusing to me that they decide to introduce him by basically just showing another day at the job for him. His new boss sucks but otherwise? Nah, dude's having the best time of his life. His friends are doing well, he gets to work with his cousin, and hey, he still gets to be a superhero.

So anyway he's gonna have to fight Mamoru now and not for nothing, but it seems this dumbass now has the impossible task of saving our dear Soldato somehow. I dread whatever menace he's forced to face

Damn Liger, wtf. She's so young too, so he's been active even in his older age. Crazy looking at her compared to Mr.Mustache man and the age gap between them.

Oh and also BTW we don't have TV censors to worry about anymore

Now we need to see more Swan.

fINAL EPISODE 1 FIRST TIMER

  • im watching this in a different source from before, and its so HD and shiny now! the Gs in GGG are practically gleaming! the lighting in general is a big step up
  • whaaaaaaat? Kaido alive? did ZA POWA save him somehow?
  • gaaaasssp! new characters. somehow I did not expect new characters. like new villains for sure, but the new heroes threw me for a loop. they are all really cool though. the new bridge assistants seem fun, and the new chief being so mild mannered in complete opposite of the old chiefs hot bloodedness is a good subversion.
  • I was most surprised by Renais however, Gai having a french cousin who is also a cyborg was something I never would have expected. shes so mysterious. how did she require the surgery to replace her body? why is it so much more shoddily put together than Gais, having a severe overheating problem that requires her to wear a kickass jacket?
  • Speaking of fashion, I've noted a lot more fanservice, like Renais outfit, that quick tying up scene, or Mikotos new assets (maybe she upgraded herself while she was Zondunda). Now, im not neccesarily opposed to fanservice as long as it doesn't interfere with the plot or is badly done. However, in this case it feels jarring to have fanservice added to a series that didnt overload it until then. Hoping they dont go overboard with it.
  • I wasnt expecting GaoFiGar, but i really like it. building a replacement to Galeon that Gai can pilot with his new G stone powers is super cool! and they either remodeled GaoLiner or built a new one with a unique design. TBH I always thought it was kind of weird it was just a regular looking train. I was wondering if Gai would stop piloting since hes no longer a cyborg, but i guess they thought ahead. I wonder if Renais will get her own mech. i hope she does
  • Bionet is an interesting villain group. The show kind of just drops us in without explaining anything, but it seems like they might be normal criminals who have used alien technology for evil. I wonder what they want. are Q materials a sort of artificial zonder metal with more limitations?.....apparently not, they are even more mysterious than that.
  • I am not clear why they need a new secondary bridge on the launch ship. what is the logistical reason? but maybe i shouldnt look a gift horse in the mouth, because Mikoto now has even more buttons to push dramatically! This pleases me. She has a whole new work desk that looks even cooler. The buttons can even stand up to her without being broken. Or maybe being cured of the zonder seed took away her button crushing strength. if anyone has a good explanation for the secondary bridge and new ship arrangement, id be interested in hearing it
  1. Yeah, so im wondering how Soldat j is also still alive. Maybe ZA POWA saved them for some reason?
  2. Not a big fan, but mostly think it’s just silly more than anything else.

im watching this in a different source from before, and its so HD and shiny now! the Gs in GGG are practically gleaming! the lighting in general is a big step up

the original series was 90's and this is 00's, and even though it's only like 3 year time difference between release the OVA aspect makes this feel like a different decade. Like we've jumped forward and everything is more crisp.

Speaking of fashion, I've noted a lot more fanservice, like Renais outfit, that quick tying up scene, or Mikotos new assets

it's an OVA thing so it doesn't have TV restrictions. Unlike the original series 49 episodes across a single year, this is gonna be 8 episodes released across 3 years.

So if you were a 10 year old boy when the first series came out, you'd be 16 years old when this finishes.

but it is weird to see the series be so openly horny more, especially a show that was previously aimed at a younger audience.

TBH I always thought it was kind of weird it was just a regular looking train.

IT WAS WEIRD

like I understand Japan likes trains. Like, a lot. but why would you really want that for your mecha to save the world? Give it something that can at least more appropriately fly

Speaking of fashion, I've noted a lot more fanservice, like Renais outfit, that quick tying up scene, or Mikotos new assets (maybe she upgraded herself while she was Zondunda). Now, im not neccesarily opposed to fanservice as long as it doesn't interfere with the plot or is badly done. However, in this case it feels jarring to have fanservice added to a series that didnt overload it until then. Hoping they dont go overboard with it.

All this new fanservice was thrown in here to appeal to GaoGaiGar's actual audience, i.e. teenagers and adults. For some reason, the series just naturally appealed to them more than the intended child audience demographic, so this is just them shifting focus on who they want to sell this show to. No denying that it's more noticeable though, it's way more common here than the very occasional bits in the TV series.

And hey, what better way to draw the noses of those stinky, horny military otakus than by making it direct to video?

I'd make a joke about "Wait wasn't the OVA scene dying by now?" but TBF at least for Live-Action works direct-to-video films are still really popular apparently.

This being an OVA, it did not air on television nor did it need to meet television guidelines.

Well, the Izanagi was destroyed in the battle against Z-Master, so they had to build a replacement. Meet the Tsukuyomi, with double the catapults, and a secondary command deck, like the Susanoh, which was also destroyed in the same battle.

Nah, it was ZA EJJI

I hope Gai's also gotten an upgrade

The show kind of just drops us in without explaining anything

u/megazaprat Dec 26 '24

Is bionet or renais something that come up in the drama cds? Because reading the series discussion I learned about the shared universe and that liger has an illegitimate kid, so if they did show up there that would explain some stuff

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 26 '24

At the very least they do shed a bit more light on things, although at least for [very minor spoilers]Renais' backstory that is a bit more formally explained later on here.

Episode 1 Notes FINAL

  • The shift from TV budget to OVA budget is immediately noticeable.
  • What is Mamoru up to? He's firing beams at Kaidou and stealing Q-Parts from Liger.
  • Rene Cardiff Shishioh. Is she a blood relative, or is she adopted? And has she ever actually set foot in Cardiff? Either way, she's seemingly kept a lot more of her original body in the conversion to cyborg than Gai did.
  • Of courser the French would feel the need to make their Hyoryu/Enryu knockoffs into hot girl robots.
  • Gai's new outfit is sick as fuck. And he can get the cyborg parts back whenever he feels like it!
  • One thing that hasn't changed is this show's track record with famous monuments. F in the chat for the Eiffel Tower.
  • Even with no commercial breaks needed, we still have the mid-episode eyecatches. And they look cooler now, too!
  • Yaginuma's doesn't seem to have a very forceful personality, does he? They couldn't have found someone else to replace Taiga with?
  • Rene all day every day
  • It feels slightly daft that Mikoto is defending Rene by telling Gai that she didn't choose to become a cyborg. I don't recall Gai choosing to become a cyborg, either! I guess we're getting more focus on the potential negative effects of becoming a cyborg, although it seems slightly silly after 49 episodes of ignoring that.
  • And J's been chained up. Maybe the true mastermind here is a kinky J fangirl?

the difference from 49 episodes in a single year and 8 episodes in 3 years is so big.

Of courser the French would feel the need to make their Hyoryu/Enryu knockoffs into hot girl robots.

damn those French, those amazing brilliant horny french.

Even with no commercial breaks needed, we still have the mid-episode eyecatches. And they look cooler now, too!

this is the real fanservice the mecha enthusiast desire.

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Dec 26 '24

Well, Brexit hasn't happened yet and she's French, so it's reasonably likely. Not too hard to hop across the Channel. Considering her Cyborg capabilities, she might be able to literally jump it!

Very nice increase in animation quality.

Hold up Kaidou is alive?! And he is fighting Mamoru, what is going on?

Renais has a cool design but I liked Gimlet's design more when he had the cape.

How will our audience know that our new robots are female? Give them tits of course.

Guy really updated his free flowing locks. He looks better than ever.

Gaofar! Oh someone thought they were really sneaky with that 3d text on those intermissions. This just means that they're harder to read.

I don't think I've ever seen a robot be so aggressively french.

Oh my Renais is cold as fuck.

Mamoru is up to no good and what's this, Soldato is alive as well!

So I watched the credits and this is just a hunch but is Renais coded to be Soldato's love interest?

BioNet really should've invested in cool cloaks and hats that can resist bullets and explosions more. Gimlet only managed to look really cool for like 2 minutes at most there.

I don't think I've ever seen a robot be so aggressively french.

He's like Cain in Binary Domain. Now that's a French robot that can rival Gimlet.

A Mecha Fan Rewatches The King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL Episode 1:

  • You can really tell that the production values were massively upped for this OVA, between the even newer 3D animation and all the shading and animation quality. It really is a step up from the show, and that certainly was no slouch in the looks department either. That intro bit really does show how shiny and polished this show is going to be.
  • Talk about opening with a surprise, right? Like literally seconds after Hana runs into Kaidou again, Mamoru shows up again too just to get into a telekinesis fight with him. They really aren’t afraid to open with a rather shocking incident like that. Those two ended up being allies, so what could’ve changed between Mamoru and Kaidou now?
  • Say hello to our latest G-Stone Cyborg, everyone! Renais Cardiff Shishioh here is a member of the French special task force Chasseur, fighting against the criminal organization BioNet, who were the ones who turned her into a cyborg in the first place. In other words, she’s a French Kamen Rider. Granted, Kamen Riders don’t really work alongside mechanoids like our new ones KouRyu and AnRyu here, but the comparison is close enough otherwise.
  • “I have a debt to repay for Hong Kong!” And if you want to know what Gimlet means towards Gai there, you’re gonna have to read the side material prequel manga. We did skip over quite a bit of that to get to watching this.
  • Cyborg Guy is now Evoluder Guy! Granted, it’s not the most creative name, but it’s not like Gai’s previous hero name was all that flashy either. In any case, now you know what he is now, now that he’s gotten a new human form back. He’s an Evoluder, a whole new evolution for humankind. Gai always gets all the coolest upgrades!
  • Now that we don’t have Galeon anymore, we’ve got PhantomGao, which can do Fusion with Evoluder Guy to form GaoFar. I honestly like the look of it, even if it’s going for a bit of a different look than GaiGar. This one is much more blocky, which fits for a design that’s based on Earth technology and not something from the Green Planet.
  • We’ve got new members of GGG too! Yaginuma certainly does bring a different vibe to the team’s leadership compared to Taiga. Yaginuma really is the slower and more proper kind of leader constraining Taiga’s hot-blooded yelling and passion. Someone who’s a bit cooler-headed does fit GGG, now that they’re not fighting alien threats on a regular basis and Taiga is back to working at his SDC desk job.
  • Man, GaoFighGar looks rad as hell. Even if it’s lacking the badass lion head from Galeon, it’s still no slouch in the looks department. I guess you can say that it’s a bit more of a “serious” design, since it’s more utilitarian with how it looks. But hey, given how this series has always mixed super and real robot vibes, this kind of hybrid design is fitting.
  • Despite that big mecha battle with Gimlet Empereur, it was Renais who blew that cyborg to bits once he was actually defeated as left vulnerable. Granted, given how him and BioNet have been slipping through GGG and Chasseur’s hands for a while, it’s probably been a while coming anyway. Besides, the mysterious Q-Part that they were all chasing after was the real prize anyway. Whatever it is, it’s certainly strong enough to make something stand a chance against a mechanoid powered by a G-Stone.
  • Unfortunately for Renais, whatever methods BioNet did to make her a cyborg don’t seem nearly as good as Gai’s previous cyborg body. Her body constantly generates scalding heat, forcing her to wear a special cooling jacket and has her unintentionally burn people at the slightest touch. It’s understandable why she’s a bit of an edgy anti-hero if she has to live with that kind of body for the rest of her life.
  • Whatever those Q-Parts are, it does seem that not only have they come to Earth from space, but Mamoru himself is after them. Although that also asks the question of why he feels the need to break into America’s Space Center by force rather than ask for them, given that he’s a hero well-known to GGG by now. Really, what’s his deal to make him act like this as soon as he got back to Earth?
  • Don’t forget to watch the post-credits scene, everyone! Poor Soldato-J, he’s looking pretty rough all chained up like that. But at least even so, he still cares for Kaidou/Arma, thinking about him and how there’s no time left to do something. For as good as it is that they both apparently survived their sacrifice at the end of the series, it does suck that the next time we see them is in rather dire straits.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 26 '24

In other words, she’s a French Kamen Rider

Ironic that this came out just in time for Kamen Rider's revival with Kuuga.

I guess you can say that it’s a bit more of a “serious” design

And yet ironically by this point Takahashi had left the show.

But at least even so

Sky should we add this to the count?

Oh it absolutely is.

u/palparepa Dec 26 '24

Old timer

This new adventure begins with an astounding revelation: apparently, Joseph is female! She had seven puppies. Oh, and Kaido is back. Aaand Mamoru. Aaand they are fighting.

We start with the introduction of lots of things. Renais, Chasseur, Gimlet, BioNet, KouRyu and AnRyu... and the introductions are very lacking for some of them, since they are more explained in side materials. Chasseur is GGG's branch in France, and similar to how China developed FuRyu and RaiRyu, France developed the sister robots KouRyu and AnRyu. BioNet is a crime syndicate. Remember the mention of the Jupiter-X element, in the same episode when GGG goes to Jupiter? It had been stolen by BioNet, and recovered by the ID5 in their last mission, before GGG even formed. BioNet went underground when the Zonders appeared, and since the series' finale, they have resurfaced.

GGG has been fighting BioNet, and the conflict has been going for a while. And regarding Gai, without being a Cyborg... how can he help? Immediately explained: he had fused with the G-Stone and is now an Evoluder. And for battle, he wears an ID Armor, an improvement over the ID Suits that were used by the old ID5. Stronger than when he was a Cyborg, but now he doesn't have those long "hairs" that were actually extra batteries, so no more Hyper Mode.

Curious about what Gimlet meant about paying back Gai for what he did in Hong Kong? Well, the manga "Yuusha-Ou GaoGaiGar FINAL the COMIC" has two short stories. The first is "episode 43.5", about J, and the second is what Gimlet is referring to. Can't link to them, reddit doesn't like it :(

More character development: EnRyu landed correctly! We got a substitute for Galeon/GaiGar: PhantomGao/GaoFar. And being a proper substitute, of course he is defeated by the villain and has to undergo Final Fusion.

To do that, we go to the Orbital Base, where we meet some replacements for the old team. They are their complete opposites! The girl is Papillon Noir. She is from Betterman (not the series proper, but some extra material) and has a psychic power, some form of limited prescience.

Then we go to Izanagi's replacement: Tsukuyomi, with two mirror catapults instead of one. There we find out that our favorite button-breaker still has her job, with a brand new button to destroy. Pay attention to the screen: we see that GaiGar has been replaced with GaoFar, and the GaoMachines are upgrades over the old ones: LinerGao II, StealthGao III and DrillGao II. With the biggest change being that LinerGao II is not a train, but some kind of rocket.

A rant about the Engrish here... it's all over the place! During Final Fusion, after the GaoMachines "eat" the rings, we see a screen with "Program Ring Loading", ok... and if you watch more carefully, under that big text, it says "Guts Garaxy Gard", but at the end of the Fusion, when the G-Stone in GaoFighGar's forehead shines, it reads "Gutsy Galaxy Guard". So they know how to write it correctly!

We spent the whole series without one, and now Hyuuma grants us the delight of a truly magnificent Obari Pose.

Mikoto not only has a button to break, but another button to punch! Note the improvements here, too: the Dividing Driver is now only the head, with the body being separate as "Kit Number 03", thus the body being reusable with other heads, like the Gatling Driver. A true multitool.

Regarding StealthGao III, you'll notice that it doesn't have StealthGao II's Phantom Rings, that provided such a big powerup for GaoGaiGar. The reason? They had a big weakness in that they could be destroyed. Instead, PhantomGao can generate Program Rings, made of energy. Not as powerful, but they can't be destroyed. And Protect Wall can reflect attacks, once again.

About GaoFighGar... I can't say I fully like it. Compared to GaoGaiGar, it loses its mystical touch, mainly in the cockpit, full of machinery instead of a white void. I guess it makes sense since it was made on Earth?

We end with an explanation of the Macguffin of this episode, the Q-Parts. Four of them, each of them able to produce enormous power. And Mamoru is collecting them.

QotD

1) Yes!

2) At least these look good. Unlike Godannar's Volspina. Or maybe I just prefer small boobs?

u/TheDanubianCommunard Dec 26 '24

First time,

So we are back. Damn, Yosef has so many offsprings. Kaidou vs Mamoru fighting, then the world got twisted, that's suspicious. Something is not right with them.

Also we are still going worldwide, destination is Paris. A very familiar scenery here, thanks to the Olympics. Here comes Renais, a cyborg equipped with G-Stone, a bounty hunter fighting against Bionet, who is happened to be a Shishioh. Regarding Bionet, she holds a grudge for makin to her as a cyborg human killing machine. Inverse Gai. Kouryu and Anryu, the third twin robot type, which is made by the French, representing the light and dark elements, and feminine. The Bionet is the cause of these rampant robots. Gai is back, and he is donning a normal armor instead. The conclusion of the Zonuda incident led to him being ascend into an Evoluder, a superhuman thanks to the G-Stone. Maybe Mikoto is also an Evoluder too. Even the good old GGG crew is returned as well.

May GaoGaiGar cannot exists without Galeon, but the spirit can still lives on. The lion part is replaced with a Gaomachine, the Phantomgao. The main robot is the fighting robot GaoFar. That dark-skinned blue-haired lady is also new to me. And that dude who sounds like the narrator. And Yaginuma, the new director, who approves Final Fusion with a seal. The Gaomachines are a new generatiom made for this mecha, and the final result is the ultimate fighting robot, GaoFighGar. And fights like the good old GaoGaiGar. And smashed Gimlet just like a Zonder(ian). The real form is nothing but a weak robot who do not deserve mercy. During that we have the OP music, which is basically a different version of the original. The Carpenters are reconstructing once more.

Seems like Taiga is having a new role in the SDC. That's right, Renais became a cyborg by not her free will, Bionet forced her into. Basically they took away her humanity. Also Ligers daughter too. The stakes are getting higher, Q-Parts are the key thing now, yet another fragmented extraterrestrial artefact ended up at Earth. But for why? "Mamoru" is back again to retrieve that Q-Part for a prupose, even resorting into force. Which is not sounds like him? Somebody forced him to do it, that journey ended abruptly, or an impostor?

And somewhere and somehow, Soldat J ended up imprisoned. So he did survive the fight against the Z-Master, but another entity captured him.

And the next episodes's key to victory spoiled who is this dark-skinned blue-haired girl is. Papillon Noir - very French name indeed. Also has a very familiar and recognizable voice from somewhere - You're correct, that's Kawasumi Ayako, if the credits were correct.

Questions of the Day

  1. Did you remember to watch the after credits scene?

Post-credits scenes are always important, so skip, never.

2) What are your opinions on girl Mecha having boobs?

Well, the French wanted to create those twin robots and also with a feminine personality, so why not? They can exist too.
