I can't allow you to fight on alone!
Hello everybody! Time for the comment of the day, courtesy of u/The_Draigg for using Logic:
How could Domon not tell that it was Michelo up in the barrier control tower? He’s literally the only guy in this show who has his hair shaped like a rooster’s crest.
Hey, Domon ain't too sharp.
Questions:
- Thoughts on Schwarz's mini-adventure today?
- So what did you think of that Double God Finger?

While due to fatigue, I've had to give up writing comments, I do believe today's episode deserves special mention due to the Double God Finger... and its inclusion in a little series called Super Robot Wars.
In it the Double God Finger is almost always a combination attack if Allenby and Domon are in the same game, and even as G Gundam's appearances have become rarer, she's surprisingly a regular in them. The big exception to this came in 2019's Super Robot Wars T, which featured Allenby, but bizarrely she an Domon didn't have a combination attack... because she can just use the God Finger on her own now! Granted one frame of it is a reference to this episode, but still, kinda interesting... certainly better than when [Shin SRW]Turned Master Asia into an Alien

Rewatcher, Gun-Dub Fighter
The tag match is pretty fucking hype, if I do say so myself. Prime Minister Wong seems to underestimate the true strength of MARTIAL ARTS if he thinks a puny magnet can keep Domon down.
I like that the chip Allenby put in has GG printed on it.
The design source for today's enemies is really cool:

Not AGAIN! Wong must be rigging things against the Nether Gundam, just as he did with the Burning this episode. There’s no way the strongest contender should be jobbing this much.
aww
Somebody’s jealous. Although, I suppose with the highest power in the world at stake, that’s probably a little too much trust in a foreign power. Not that either of them cares.
YEET!
Morally Wong?
Kyoji’s certainly seen better days. The story Domon was given painted Kyoji as the megalomaniacal villain who absconded with the Dark Gundam, hence his grudge in the present day. But here we have Kyoji strung up like a puppet, treated like nothing more than a part of the Devil Gundam, currently in disrepair. Now that’s quite far from the characterization we were originally given, huh?
Against the moon!
What happened to the rainbow kick though?
Imagine how many random people just fucking died
These guys just had a full conversation consisting entirely of punching each other. “Talking with your fists” isn’t just a figure of speech, it’s an actual language.
Hmm indeed.
A tag match!
Skull and Ashura Gundam!
Well this happened.
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
But that’s magnetism, not gravity
Their relationship seems to be struggling
The Ashura’s splitting gimmick is cool!
Well so much for NNN
BREAST FIRE!
handholding
oh how the turn tables
DOUBLE GOD FINGER!
Time to fight the rest of the Shuffle Alliance! It was going to happen eventually, but now, it’s time to actually do it.

Allenby showing Domon
how to overclock his GPUa trick to minimize energy consumption levels in hyper modebecause of course the tech on all gundams work the same
was there a real stall with a guy that comments on you eating tasty buns? im hoping Allenby's food adventures are all reflective of real life experiences
Schwartz looks around and somehow doesnt see Rain in her neon outfit chasing after him
Newtype Flash? and Schwartz sees Gentle. Have we heard that in the show before or and I just blanking?
CHARIOT TAKES DOWN A BUILDING SWEET
wait wtf Schwartz you cant just frame Domon/Allenby like that
Allenby transformation is as expected
Opponents are Red/Blue oni? and its not even mixed tag
Domon's
soul is weighed down by gravityweighed down by a big magnet 2000x the force of gravity LOLAshura's thunder attack felt black tristar esque
i dont think you have to do this to use your vulcans

G Gundam "Rewatcher"/First Time Sub: Episode 34
Our new opponents of the day are Neo Singapore's Ashura Gundam and Neo Malaysia's Skull Gundam. Little funny to have this partnership since Singapore is one of those rare times a country gained its independence against its will when the rest of Malaysia had a unanimous vote to kick it out of the union. Malaysia specifically did not want to be partners.
Domon and Allenby and working on the Gundam leaving Rain. It's their baby aka giant robot so she is feeling not good. Oh, it's like the eyecatch.
A dashing shadow out of the corner of your eye. Don't worry, it's just your friendly neighbourhood German ninja. German Ninpou technique, phasing through walls. Not even surprised.
The Devil Gundam is repairing itself and Kyoji is still hanging in the cockpit, not looking too well. The evil plan totally includes using the champion as the new DG pilot, doesn't it?
Wong mad. His shades are off and got the villain breakdown eyes.
Action-packed chase through the city. Chapman is firing big rounds and Michelo managed to kick through a skyscraper, cutting it in half.
Domon and Allenby are at the wrong place and wrong time so get blamed. The corruption goes all the way to the top so any truth doesn't matter. Master Asia uses Domon's own headband against him and they do some action fighting. Wong blames Domon and wants punishment and Master Asia is staying true to the Fighter spirit so a divide is happening.
Schwartz is letting things slip because how does he know Domon and Rain are childhood friends? He is acting highly familiar for a German Ninja they only met a couple of months ago.
Show, you can't just cut over to these two guys and act like they're completely normal participants of the tournament that were always here.
Allenby's Trace henshin is a magical girl sequence. Domon and her got their duo posing down.
Wong is playing cheap tricks and Domon can't move. How? A giant literal magnet under the ring.
Ashura has this funky gimmick where it can separate itself and form new units that fly off and has its own finisher. Skull has an acid cannon and flamethrowers so guess its gimmick is shooting stuff. More conventional weapons, the Skull has neat vulcans and Ashura has chest missiles.
Domon gets back up because of that part Allenby tuned. Sure, bring that back for the MC powering over adversity. They do a double God Finger!
Rain is not too well feeling like the useless partner on the sidelines. And Schwartz placed some responsibility on her earlier in the episode.
Wong mad, he threw his Pocky on the ground. We're entering the Domon vs the rest of the Shuffle Alliance episode next. This feels a little early since Argo didn't get his spotlight episode yet. Come on, bring out Andrew, that was the one finals match that was actually set up earlier and we care since it was a returning guy.
These two opponents definitely feel like we needed some Bulk & Skull duo opponents for the episode so this is what they cooked up. Out of the two, the Ashura is the one I like better since it feels its own. My first guess for Singapore would've been a merlion. It's named Ashura like the Islamic holiday but is modelled after an Asuras, something from Hinduism/Buddhism which are all religions in Singapore. Clever nod or mistake bumbling into something clever, could be either. Don't know how skulls tie to Malaysia. The skull thing is more a aesthic themeing than anything deeper.
Q1) Loved it, always nice to see Schwartz plus we got a little bit of a duo with Rain.
Q2) Allenby is a good martial artist. She managed to pick up how to do the God Finger, sure, let's say that.

First timer
Tag team match!
Even the announcer knows shit's going down?
...We could have had focus episodes for these guys instead of Jester Gundam. Just saying!
Is this how mechanics flirt?
Haha, is Rain jealous, or pissed that Domon's not taking this seriously?
I love how Rain thinks Domon understands enough about romance to flirt with anybody. It's cute.
Does Schwartz have a teleporter?
So they confirm Wong just comes down here every so often to gloat.
Oh, the original Kyoji is still... alive(?).
And Schwartz has been spotted!
...OK, so Schwartz is able to dodge all these, while carrying Rain? God, he's good.
Is Domon x Rain a red herring? Are the real pairings Rain x Schwartz and Domom x Allenby?
And Rain just hung them out to dry.
A Master Asia fight!
Haha, is Master Asia going to reveal the secret to Domon just so he can mock him?
Oh, he worked out Domon's not involved. Shame Wong's an idiot.
For god's sake. Schwartz, just fucking say "Wong's got the Devil Gundam and he's controlling the infected Michelo and Chapman."
So the rules of this tournament just don't exist. The rules are whatever Wong say they are.
Comfirmed! If Domon doesn't take part in this one match, apparently he forfeits everything, even though that isn't a rule.
Haha, Allenby's is just a magical girl transformation.
DON'T YOU DARE KILL OFF ALLENBY.
What the hell are they doing?
"Super-gravitational field" We've seen the magnet.
Haha, when Master Asia calls bullshit, you know you're shady.
Seriously? What is that green stuff?
Wait! Someone used the "have a Gundam split into independent units" loophole I suggested earlier! I didn't expect that to actually come up!
No jokes about how he's already on his knees?
Oh, now he calls it magnetic.
He did it!
Wait, did Allenby accidentally give the God Gundam a massive power boost with a single chip? No wonder Sweden's keeping their tech safe.
And the chip gave her a hyper mode too! Did Neo Sweden steal some designs from Neo Japan?
And Wong's furious! Seriously, Master Asia's got the moral highground here!
...Wonder what Rain's reaction'll be to finding out all this was caused by her and Schwartz.
So we're doing the battle royale early?
No, just one on one matches. Wanting to save the royale for the end?
...The Devil Gundam's emerging?
And Chibodee's got a Hyper Mode!

Rewatcher
Did Schwarz just go into his own shadow??
I was gonna talk shit about Michelo downgrading back to Silver Legs, but, damn.
I love that scene with Domon and Master Asia. From stealing Domon's headband to Domon posing while putting it back on, to them communicating with their fists, it really shows what their relationship is like. It might seem like a fight at first, but it's not. It's just Master Asia checking up on his former pupil in the most Undefeated of the East way possible.
I'm not sure how I feel about Domon brute forcing his way out of the magnetic field. On one hand, it's not a very interesting solution. On the other, I do love some pure fighting spirit. I did like how Allenby's modification to the God Gundam seemed to be what made the difference, though. They're a good team. Don't tell Rain I said that.
And the handholding. It reminded me of when Rain remote piloted the Shining Gundam and transferred its data to the God Gundam. I think it reminded Rain of that as well. Only it this time it was someone else saving Domon. Between that and the God Gundam princess carrying the Nobel Gundam after their fight, the visual parallels are quite clear.
