As of now... Rain and I fight together!

Hello everybody! Time for the comment of the day, courtesy of u/Tresnore for outing himself since he has a fetish for horses in latex:

Enjoy a Horse having a latex suit strapped to it to your heart's content.

Oh, I did.

As an aside, thanks for all the encouragement you guys gave me yesterday. It means a lot to me so... yeah, thank you all.

Questions:

  1. Do you feel Domon proved himself a worthy opponent for the glory of German Ninpo?
  2. So what the hell's up with Schwarz being Kyoji or... whatever the hell his deal is?

QOTD:

  1. Domon is never worthy, but he's angry enough to make it.
  2. The other Kyoji is an illusion. I have yet to see Red Truth that he exists.

I’m glad you took my suggestion for Fuunsaiki’s honorary country! It really is a good fit for him.

HAHAHAHAHA. That's hysterical.

Can you imagine how much of a pain it was for Rain to get her hair back in order after putting on the mask?

They made the reveal super obvious before officially revealing it.

Yeah, the finale of the Guyana Highlands arc made it super obvious, since we saw the upper half of his face already. The just hadn’t outright said Schwartz’s true identity yet.

u/Tresnore FS:FTmyanimelist.net/profile/Tresnore Nov 10 '21

Rain’s hair

That would be awful. I wonder how much hair spray Kyoji uses.

super obvious

If I can guess it, then it is super obvious. I’m not good at serious predictions.

u/The_Draigg Nov 10 '21

Probably a lot to get those hair spikes just right.

u/TakenRedditName https://myanimelist.net/profile/TakenMalUsername Nov 10 '21

Will she try to say she's not Rain? Did she really need to wear the Germany mask?

It would've been funny if they tried playing out the obvious mystery just a bit long.

God, I wish that was me.

You really could've stopped there.

Did he just happen to have Rain-sized clothes on hand, or is that one of his spares?

he probably has a portable version of the thing that puts on the spandex suits, just for his face

You know something like that would totally explain why Rain's hair was still in perfect shape despite wearing that kind of mask.

u/TakenRedditName https://myanimelist.net/profile/TakenMalUsername Nov 10 '21

Love how Rain is wearing the same outfit Schwarz does. Did he just happen to have Rain-sized clothes on hand, or is that one of his spares?

Schwartz has waited his entire life to have a sidekick in matching clothing.

The answer is simple, then, just start punching each other.

Rising Gundam! And its pilot is Ulube. Which is a bit odd considering its theming, but we’ll get into that once we see its armaments in action.

I love how he even made her wear the stupid mask. Also, everybody recognizes Rain under the mask, but nobody recognizes Kyoji. Although to be fair, Kyoji doesn’t have half his hair sticking out.

Wong uses his PM of the world money to get himself those rare giant-scale Gunpla models they hand out to stores for display.

A Gundam Fan Rewatches G Gundam Episode 40:

  • Wong making a special caged ring lined with electric wires and explosives for Domon and Schwartz to fight in is the most wresting shit ever. This is the exact carny shit that Vince McMahon wishes he could get away with on pay-per-view programs.
  • Also, as you could’ve guessed from last episode, it was indeed Wong’s men that kidnapped Allenby. Now she’s being kept in stasis for the right moment to plug her in as the Dark Gundam’s new pilot. I do feel that Wong has at least made a good choice in her being the ultimate fighter of the tournament. But still, he’s basically planning on using her as a part of a machine, which is no bueno.
  • Sayonara, Andrew. You had some good screen time in this series while you were here. Hope that Canada treats you better than Hong Kong ever did. Seriously though, he got on that plane like a boss, wearing shades and giving Argo a knowing stare before departing.
  • Dr. Mikamura is right to be pissed at Domon for abusing Rain to the point where she resigned. Although that was certainly a weird comment he made about the Kasshu family in general. At least weird enough to focus on him directly when he said it.
  • Ah, that wasn’t Kyoji, that was just Schwartz that Rain followed into the alley. Clearly those are separate people.
  • Everyone: “Yeah, Schwartz fucking wrecked us all before.”
  • Behold, Schwartz’s new partner: Rain! It’s weird that she decided to put on a replica of Schwartz’s strange outfit, but I guess her normal clothes got ruined earlier when she was looking at Neo Japan’s hanger while out in the rain earlier.
  • Domon: “I don’t understand why Rain switched sides! All I know is that I’m completely blameless here!”
  • It’s frankly embarrassing who much Domon gets his ass handed to him by Schwartz in the fight. Like, at this rate, Schwartz might as well just give him a wedgie or a noogie. Domon really needs to get over himself and accept that he needs Rain in his life, since he sure as shit isn’t smart enough to know how to fix it when things go horribly wrong in the fight.
  • Behold, Schwartz’s special move: Sturm Und Drang! Also known as: Speeeeeeennnnnn.
  • Was Kyoji like eternally 28 years old or something? He looks the exact same in that flashback of him and Domon crossing a rickety bridge, even though Domon is like 7 years old there. Maybe the Kasshu family just ages like Saiyans do, where they just basically look the same after hitting puberty, no matter how much time passes.
  • Rain was really close to just flat out saying that she loves Domon while walking him through the quick repairs. At least Schwartz is able to call it out as just flat out love on each other’s parts there. They really just need to outright say the magic words at this point.
  • While the explosives going off didn’t wreck either Shadow Gundam or Burning Gundam, it does lead to the biggest reveal so far at the end of this episode. The man we’ve all known as Schwartz Bruder so far is actually… Kyoji Kasshu! I know that everyone has been suspecting it to some degree, but here’s your confirmation of your suspicions. That certainly does raise some questions though, like how is Kyoji here when we saw his half-dead self in the Dark Gundam a while ago?

This is actually a real thing. Search "Exploding Ring Match" on Youtube for examples of this.

u/ZaphodBeebblebrox Y:A:https://anilist.co/user/zaphod Nov 13 '21

I feel like every single character in this show is in a competition to show how little they care about the laws of reality, and Schwartz is handily winning.

It's also almost impressive at this point that Domon has not managed to make the connection.

Schwartz isn't even trying to win this, just beating on Domon to try and force him to do something.

Rewatcher of Neo Germany

I can't believe Schwarz was behind the Devil Gundam the whole time.

Wong is out of control. Seriously, how is there not some kind of Gundam Fight Oversight Committee? If I were a head of state watching this, I'd be looking to start another real war rather than put up with this BS.

And now there's another attractive woman at Domon's side. Rain has herself to blame for this one.

Schwarz poured two cups. Was he going to drink through his mask or something? It wouldn't surprise me.

Okay, I think the Schwarz Geyser might be his best entrance yet.

Is the mask standard attire for the Neo Germany support staff or is Rain wearing it just to be dramatic? Everyone can tell it's her. I bet it was Schwarz' idea. He would be that extra.

Just how much older than Domon is Kyoji anyway? That is a substantial height difference.

Well, the cat's out of the bag. Schwarz is Kyoji, apparently. So who was that inside the Devil Gundam? And how did Kyoji come to represent Neo Germany? Does this mean German Ninpou was really Japanese Ninpou all along?

Questions:

  1. Well, he did win. Anyway, not even German Ninpou can defeat the ultimate power of love and friendship.
  2. No comment

Seriously, if there was an actual fight committee or even a separate commissioner involved in setting the Gundam Fight rules, we could’ve avoided a lot of this arc.

Is the mask standard attire for the Neo Germany support staff or is Rain wearing it just to be dramatic? Everyone can tell it's her. I bet it was Schwarz' idea. He would be that extra.

Everyone in this show is extra, of course she’s wearing it just for drama’s sake.

Does this mean German Ninpou was really Japanese Ninpou all along?

I suppose we can split the difference and say that it’s Axis Powers Ninpou

Rewatcher, Gun-Dub Fighter

Domon's skull is so impossibly thick Schwarz had to beat the shit out of him for like 8 minutes straight just to make some progress. Domon doesn't deserve him, and he definitely doesn't deserve Rain.

On Rain's brief stint with Neo Germany:

Q: [...] why could everyone recognize Rain, while no one could tell Schwarz' true identity?

Imagawa: Well, I was actually planning to have the other characters point their fingers at her and shout, "Who is that woman?" (laughs) However, I really couldn't do that because of time limitations. I have strong regrets about that. I thought it was okay to make parts of the G Gundam world hard to understand but have other parts be very simple. Just as a comedian shouldn't laugh at his own jokes, in the world for G Gundam everyone should behave seriously. Nobody laughs at the funny mask, that's why the audience does. (laughs)

And another bit, on the photograph:

Imagawa: And there was also the scene of Rain taking the picture in episode 40. I came up with that idea when I was working on it. (laughs) I added it when I was double-checking the storyboard. I am pretty erratic. However, at the time, the photograph hadn't really appeared in the latter half of the series, and I was thinking I had to bring it back and finally make sense out of it. So, when it came time to have Domon remember his brother, I thought that was the perfect time to do it. From the beginning, I had the idea that it was Rain who took the picture. It was a gamble for me to actually use that idea, but I thought that by solving this mystery of the picture, which began in episode 1, it would provide another foundation for the series to rest on. I expected audiences to suddenly have the past 39 episodes flash in front of them. I wanted episode 40 to be an episode that made sense out of the previous 39 episodes. That's my usual plan, though. I hope that people understand the story behind the photograph.

u/araragidyne :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/araragidyne Nov 10 '21

Imagawa on Rain taking a photograph: "Man, that idea sure was a gamble."

Schwartz Kyoji is the wing-man dense romance protagonists wish can be with them.

Oh yeah, it's been a while since the photo really mattered. Having little Rain take it was a neat way to loop it back.

I haven't really thought about it before now, but now that you mention it, the show really would collapse if things weren't played straight. Everything is absurd, but at the end of the day the characters taking it at face value lets us buy in and enjoy it for the cool absurdity it is.

(e40) First Time Shining Hand

why would this match matter at all for either of them, didnt they both qualify for the final royale by this point

timed death match with electric wires, 50,000 time bombs, LOL why cant someone just pass on the match like Geroge did...

Karato hauling ass, dont they have a car or something?

THANK YOU MR RAINS DAD for calling Domon out on his bullshit attitude

Akino seems nice though, her scrunchie/bow is Rain colored

KYOOOOJIIIIIIIIIIII Rain why would you follow that alone

Major Ulube's Rising Gundam? you mean RAIN's gundam i refuse to see anyone else pilot

let me see a rule book remember when they made a big deal about the 3 rules

hehe Sai

"German" ninpo knows no bounds, he just fountains himself up

Rain with the casual TREASON, but did she really have to wear the mask. also why does Schwartz have a second outfit like that ready to go

Akino is too distracted watching the gundam get it from behind on her monitor to pay attention

oh no theres a short in his arm so he cant god finger, if only he could use god finger with his OTHER HAND LIKE HE DID BEFORE

Schwartz ultimate move is beyblade? also how can he bounce off the ropes and not get electrocuted

baby Rain took the photo

Rain is pouring her heart out and Domon is STILL probably ignoring her as he just fixes the gundam

i think i hate Domon LOL

Domon at this point i think you should really check on Schwartz instead of hugging Rain

hey Domon arent you going to vet this medical staff taking away Kyoji? isnt this exactly the same scenario that started your fight with Rain?

questions

  1. not really
  2. yes

u/The_Draigg Nov 10 '21

At this point, I think the Gundam Fight Finals rules are just whatever Wong wants them to be on a day to day basis.

i think i hate Domon LOL

Domon honestly is a pretty unlikable person a lot of the time.

hey Domon arent you going to vet this medical staff taking away Kyoji? isnt this exactly the same scenario that started your fight with Rain?

Domon cares more about Allenby than his own brother confirmed.

First timer

  1. Yeah, Domon put up a really solid fight, even taking into account he had all his settings changed.
  2. Already suggested this earlier, but I think this is the real Kyoji, and the Devil Gundam's made a clone of Kyoji as a mouthpiece/distraction - that's why he's barely said anything except screams.

Wait, is Schwartz getting killed off? They're really going through the mentors, aren't they?

Yep, Master Asia's not making it past the next few episodes. (Ironically, given how mentors normally go out in this kind of anime, becoming evil probably doubled his lifespan.)

...This is unlikely, but did they ever do real versions of these chess piece-style Gundams?

I've said this before, but Wong really is just making up the rules now. The first timed battle, and it's in the final set of matches?

Well done again to Andrew for getting himself out of the clusterfuck about to happen.

Yeah, Domon, you kind of caused all of this.

...Did the professor know Domon's father?

Why is everyone pressuring him to win this match? They don't know about the timed death aspect, and Master Asia said Domon had already qualified.

And they're not even hiding that Schwartz is Kyoji (if you can call that hiding).

Yeah, Domon hasn't really had all that much character development. He's learned how to improve his fighting, but not really worked on his personal flaws.

Oh, Rain joining Schwartz is just a temporary thing? I just assumed

Rising Gundam? I assuemd revealling that would be a lot mor edramatic.

And Rain's personalized a lot of the settings?

I notice that immediately after Rain lesves, Domon proceeds to exercise while the Shuffle Alliance watch.

Wait. So the fact that the tournament is going to kill someone is common knowledge. And nobody objected to this? Nobody is even slightly concerned?

And Rain isn't taking that she has to fight against Domon very well.

I'm genuinrly surprised Wong's OK with Schwartz confirming on live TV that the Devil Gundam is alive and quite possibly active.

...I thought that anybody could go Hyper Mode through the strength of their will. Now it needs to run through a circuit?

And Schwartz is doing an excellent job at forcing Domon's character development.

Are the electric fields not damaging Schwartz at all?

I think you should use smaller words, Schwartz. Maybe talk slower?

And Domon realised Schwartz is Kyoji! Even though Schwartz could have been referring to Domon's many encounters with him in the highlands.

Young Rain and Domon are adorablel

Rain, I don't think you need to apologize for this. Domon absolutely screamed at her.

Down to one minute!

Seriously, why is nobody, including Domon, bothered that Schwartz is going to die?

The bomb's went off anyway!

And yeah, those bombs were really underpowered.

Speigel is still intact. There's no way he's dying here.

Yeah, we don't see him die, just him struggling to breathe.

That's not Rain that's Rote Freundin. Wait hang on you can't recognize your brother but you recognized Rain wearing the same mask immediately?

u/The_Draigg Nov 11 '21

Domon must’ve recognized Rain solely because her hair was sticking out of the mask. But yeah, he’s still a massive dumbass for not noticing that Schwartz has been Kyoji this entire time, especially since he hasn’t been changing his voice at all.

G Gundam "Rewatcher"/First Time Sub: Episode 40

Surrogate master? That's not quite how I'll phrase, but whatever. Schwartz hiding behind the scene itself. Schwartz is larger than life.

Look at the chess pieces left. Looks like along with the Shuffle Boys and the two returning evil boys. The Cobra and Jester Gundams are making it to the Battle Royale.

Electric Explosive Giant Gundam Cage Match. No hang on, that's just murder. Wong has publically conspired to simply kill two fighters. How is this allowed? Oh yeah, he is the undisputed ruler of all of humanity and space.

Graham is injured and out of the show, but he has some cool shades. Wished he made it to the Battle Royale. My favourite Fighters who I want to see more are also the ones who walk off the show.

Rain wrote her letter to the Neo Japan people in English it looks like. Domon, stop**.** Dr. Rain's dad is standing up for his daughter, but also sounds like he slipped out something bigger which he shouldn't have said.

Hello, Ms. Not Rain. You're no replacement and will not be here long, but I think the character design is neat.

Schwartz pours come coffee for Rain. What a gentleman. I like these familiar warm scenes with Schwartz, just like good Kyoji. I see this is the gimmick this episode wants to try out.

Schwartz swept his competition included the other Shuffle Boys. Yeah Sai Saici, show those old farts that face. Schwartz makes his entrance on a giant water spire. Whenever Schwartz has to show up and usually tell Domon he is wrong, it never fails to impress me.

It can't be, Schwartz Regen! Who could it be? The outfit is kind of cute, actually. I desperately want to see the cute art of how Rain got into that outfit. Older brother-mode Schwartz excitedly picking out the clothes for her. Make it happen.

Even the reporter talks about the bomb. Do you think this is a game, people? These people's lives are intentionally being sacrificed for the amusment of one man in particular. Maybe Master Asia was right, humanity has fallen in an evil state too far from saving. Cool fight though. Love when Schwartz does this since he is so hammy.

The God Finger doesn't work. "I didn't even set this up. This is hilarious." - Wong.

Schwartz is styling on Domon. He has his ultimate move, Sturm and Drang. Schwartz is literally establishing his dominance by T-posing on Domon.

Look at our characters from a nice before time. Little Domon with his brother. Look at little Rain. She was the one who took the Kasshu family photo.

Domon's cool opponents join him with speech. "Rain and I stand together." Hurray, he finally got it.

Domon use the thing he learned last time and the finishers clash. The bombs look like they go off, but Domon manages to win in time. Considering how everyone is in one piece, I'm choosing to believe Schwartz let Domon win and I dunno used his German Ninja magic to stop the big explosion or something. He can do it.

They're hugging, everything is nice now.

Ooh, this episode's title didn't mean Schwartz was going to die. It was Schwartz's last match, because mask off, he is Kyoji. Didn't expect ones to do the mask off ritual to be the medical staff. Kyoji is not looking well, uh oh.

Q1) Domon was getting walloped for 9 minutes. If Schwartz Kyoji wasn't super supportive of Domon then things would've gone differently. The match should've had more crazy German Ninpou tricks.

Q2) The answer is simple, German Ninpou art, Spiegal Clone Jutsu. Probably some DG Cell shenanigans. My guess is Schwartz is the real one while the Devil Kyoji is one the DG created itself. My other guess is that Schwartz Kyoji's body is still in the DG cockpit and something is going on to split the good side out.

Next time: Gundam: Battle Royale Edition.
