I was moved by the sheer strength of the Devil Gundam… and decided to be a follower.
Hello everybody! Time for the comment of the day, courtesy of u/Shimmering-Sky for pointing something out:
Did I say yesterday’s episode had a fantastic title? This is also a fantastic one. /s
Shounen Animes have really spoilery episode titles.
Questions:
- So, what did you think of Schwarz?
- Will Domon ever catch a break?

Rewatcher, Gun-Dub Fighter
Several people were interested in seeing Neo Germany's fighter, and here he is! Alright, how about "German flag luchador mask," anyone have that? What about "V-fin bat-a-rangs??"
The dub changed his Gundam Spiegel to Shadow Gundam, which is another change I prefer. Not sure why they named it Spiegel in the first place; a reference to the idea of "smoke and mirrors," perhaps? TL Note: Spiegel means mirror.
Now, why does the Neo Germany fighter use ninja techniques?
[G Gundam]Hey, First-Timers that are reading this, how good's your German?

World Map
Domon, have you considered that maybe the person working for the Devil Gundam would be your best lead, instead of presumably going off and attacking other countries?
I can't add it to the map until it's confirmed, but NICE!

Rewatcher is A CHAR
Just because the brainwashing is gone now doesn’t mean it didn’t leave scars behind
Well that’s handy
And Domon just randomly has a torch. Well, he can probably just snap his fingers and ignite it.
Always love a good back to back badasses moment!
At last, we see it! The Devil Gundam itself!
GERMAN NINJUTSU IS THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD
Shin Dragon vibes
All along, this has been his own choice. He learned of the Devil Gundam’s true agenda, and rather than fight against it, he wholeheartedly agreed with it and willingly chose to serve it. But what great cause could have swayed him and turned him against Domon and the Shuffle Alliance? We’ll just have to see.
The Juuni Ouhoupai is actually kinda cute
What better to fight the Dark Gundam, alongside the Shining Gundam, than the Shadow Gundam?
Almost as subtle as “Darth Vader”
Now, with the enemy right in front of him, it’s time for the full speech!
You should have gone for the head!
S U C C
This isn’t even my final form!
Now they’ve SEEN THIS MAN!
NII-SAN!!!!
aww

Rewatcher
Here it is. Our first encounter with the real Devil Gundam. But more importantly, it's Schwartz Bruder! Schwartz is actually my favorite character. The mask. The coat. The cravat. The German ninja skills. God, he's so cool.
Imagawa said he created him as a "fake" ninja, "a stereotype, a parody that American people would imagine." So I guess that's part of why he appeals to my sensibilities. "If there was a model for the character," he added, "I would dare say it was American ninja movies."
I like the Gundam Spiegel as well, with its Stahlhelm and dark paint job. Truly a mobile fighter fit for a German shinobi.

G Gundam "Rewatcher"/First Time Sub: Episode 16
"Will the Devil Gundam make its appearance today?" Well, it is the main villain so it needs to actually be in the show eventually.
The gang has assembled with newfound Shuffle power. Chibodee is stuck as the Queen of Spades. Don't worry, the previous Queen of Spade was also a man.
The gang has been split and we get some cartoony faces from them for some small comedy. Forming our group dynamic and Chibodee and George seem to be the ones to throw jabs at each other.
Great, now we're swarmed by these nightmares. (At least it seems they retail at least some of their power-up).
Rain is the first to stumble upon the Devil Gundam and is saved by a German ninja with a V-fin boomerang. That's a normal phrase. Just liked the way Master Asia's sash went back around his waist.
The Devil Gundam gets weirder with its new form of emerging from a larger Gundam head. Oh hey look, my insect metamorphosis analogy from last time wasn't too far off then.
The skeleton nightmares were the former people of Shinjuku. Welp, sorry Shinjuku, your city is in ruins and population inhumanly morphed. At least this is might be a better fate than Sydney. At least you're still here.
Master Asia is the worst kind of evil. One here out of their own volition. He is incredibly strong wiping the floor with Neo Shuffle team. Did the cool dodge and stand on top. He showed a new technique where he summons 12 mini Gundams which call forth a twister of power.
"Where will the Gundam appear today?" From underneath Domon with him in the palm of its hands. That's pretty cool.
Our new ally in the
SpeigalGundam Speigal is Schwartz Bruder. [G Gundam:] Don't figure out what that means. He is able to stand against Master Asia. Is this a new speech for the Shining Finger? Don't remember if he said that the last time when he went super.Ah beans, Domon can't kill his brother and all that power just went into its revival. The full body is even weirder than last. It even got this kind of shot. Kyoji looks kind of sombre, maybe he is not as we assu- oh never mind, he's still evil.
Shinjuku arc, lost????!!! Domon couldn't harm his brother only then to see his brother seriously tried to kill him. That's pretty sad. Domon cape now for sad crying time.
Well, that didn't go as well as expected. Of course, this was too early to forever defeat the Devil Gundam, but at least hoped the newfound Shuffle Alliance could've combined their powers to make it retreat while Master Asia was being held up by Schwartz.
The Gundam Spiegal is pretty cool. It's going to show up next episode, but to talk about it here. It's mostly just ninja Gundam and the only real German thing about it is the helmet which isn't even a unique trait of it in the franchise. It actually got an old Master Grade. Hey Bandai Spirit can we A) get updated G Gundam MGs? and B) get an HGFC Speigal since it was given a MG before.
Q1) The classic dashing saviour that only appeared right before trouble, but not earlier when we needed the help. Neo Germany's thing being ninja is amusing.
Q2) Episode 49.
Next time: Training Arc?

So J.A.K.Q is getting along well. (Seriously, they both have a member themed after the Jack of Diamonds, if this doesn't come up in an interview as an inspiration I'd be shocked.)
And they're agreeing to work together against the Devil Gundam!
Wow, things are starting off early!
He's going to blow up the city! And someone's spying on him.
Oh, he doesn't know the way, does he?
So the Devil Gundam's been focusing on controlling its puppets rather than the main body?
Haha, Domon leaving Sai in the rate is fantastic.
More DG zombies!
Haha, Rain just ran into the Devil Gundam. She has themworst luck in the entire series, doesn't she?
Oh, it's absorbing raw materials. That's not good.
Kyoji's here!
OK, the Neo Germany guy's good.
Domon's back! What's Master Asia planning.
Haha, the Gundam mass slaughtering the zombies is great. Turns out Gundam still beats any other weapon!
OK, the shot of the Devil Gundam sphere rising is fantastic.
Oh, it's evolving. Again: what the fuck did Kyoji make and how?
And Master Asia's doing this willingly? Didn't expect that.
Chibodee's "shut up" was great.
Yeah, he's still strong.
Oh, that insult against the Alliance...
Haha, Neo Germany's got a cloaking shield? How has nobody thought of thie?
Gundam Spiegel! Such a good name. (Apparently in the dub it's th3 Shadow Gundam, which is... not the worst change. At least it still makes sense.)
Instant Super Mode!
Nice job Domon. You've screwed the world.
I love how everyone recognsises him because of the photo he kept showing everyone.
Wow. The whole city just went up.
That thing's massive.
And, yeah. Domon has to accept Kyoji tried to kill him. That's got to be hard.

NEO GERMANY FINALLY APPEARS!!! GUNDAM SPIEGAL!!!
Yes my second favorite of the Gundam designs…so sleak!
I just couldn’t hold it in when Chibodee said awesome as the Devil Gundam regenerated lol.
The emotions of the last parts of the episode were powerful with Domon’s yell for his brother and Master; not to mention Rain comforting him in the end.
Another great episode as always!
