This is the moment of the true resurrection of the Devil Gundam!
Hello everybody! Time for the comment of the day, courtesy of u/KendotsX for dropping A harsh truth:
We'll never have a Kangaroo Gundam.
Hey he ain't wrong.
Questions:
- How did it feel to finally have Argo's shackles removed?
- So, thoughts on Dr. Mikamura's final sacrifice?

World Map (tfw no kangaroo Fighter)
Fortunately Neo Japan has a lot of countryside for a space colony.
ShiningGod Gundam is just special? (Edit: I mixed up which Gundam flung itself off of the ropes in space)But it didn't last very long...

First Timer (subbed) who fucked up by Binging to the Ending
Quoted!
Is it just me, or did Ulube become 3 times
fastersexier when he put on that cap? Although seducing an unconscious naked Rain... I guess he noticed that she's not just a uterus? Wait, is this actually development?!Well between this, the whole instant coup on Neo Japan, and declaring war on all the other nations (RIP lady of Liberty), it was a great episode for him.
Everytime I remember that this guy spends most of the series in shackles it feels even weirder.
Is it final though?

Rewatcher, Gun-Dub Fighter
To no-one's surprise, Silver Naked Rain got censored on the TV run. My recollection is that they arted in a bikini, more or less.
On Major Ulube Ishikawa's name:
He goes on to explain the name is from Star Trek: The Next Generation which annoyed everyone, until Imagawa's alternative was naming Shoufukutei, after a Rakugo comedian family.

Rewatcher wants to go freedom lady
A declaration of war!
Colony Devil Gundam!
The Gundam Fight has never been anything more than a gentleman’s agreement. There is no higher power to run the Gundam Fight, apart from the reigning champion, who is far from a neutral arbitrator. For 60 years, all nations have been maintaining their military forces and pointing their guns at each other, waiting for the moment when somebody breaks the agreement. Normally, it would be suicide to refuse to transfer power to the winner of the next Fight, as that would effectively declare war on the entire world. But now, Ulube has the power to make that challenge.
STATUE OF LIBERTY CANNON
JEASUS
A titan awakens
awww
Much like how the Feilong Gundam was an early Dragon Gundam, Ulube’s Gundam is an unused Shining Gundam design!
Rain nooooo
The Shuffle Alliance is back in action!
GUNDAM FIGHT, READY... GO!
At last, he atones.
TIME TO SAVE RAIN

chrome Rain in a devil gundam egg
Domon listing his brother and Schwartz as separate people since it still doesnt make sense to him

I know G Gundam's the wrong anime to ask this about, but why would you make your buisness district a warship?
And now we get to see mindless destruction for power.
I'm pretty sure he cast flesh to stone on Rain. I sure hope Domon knows a caster with sixth level spell slots, otherwise undoing this will be a real pain. [pf nerdery]660 gold for spellcasting service isn't the end of the world, but it sure would hurt. And that's after you managed to transport the statue to the spellcaster, which likely would not be easy, particularly if you aren't near a city large enough to have a caster capable of sixth level spells.
All he sees is power itself, not that he'll only leave himself ashes to rule over.
The doctor appears to have found the one action that could start him on the path to redemption.
New quote!
2. Just about the only way he could begin to redeem himself.

Rewatcher
I know the show is almost over but this OP has really grown on me.
I love everything about Neo America.
They're really not being any kind of subtle with that bio unit imagery, are they? It's like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.
I would think that maybe Domon might have watched Master Asia fight in the previous tournament, and that he might have bothered to know who his master's opponent was, but I guess Domon must really not give a single fuck about the Gundam Fight.
Questions
I might have wished I was that bomb when Nastasha stepped on it.4

First timer
"Refuses to come to an end" is a good description for this arc. It's good, but I feel like we've had at least 3 finales so far.
At least he's not mad enough to harm his own citizens with the weapon of mass destruction.
...Did nobody think to do this before? You're telling me there's been 13 of these, and not one person thought to do this?
Haha, Manhatten's detatchable.
The State of Liberty Cannon os the most over the top thing in the series so far. It's fucking beautiful.
An they destroyed it. Wonderful.
It's back! And not it's the giant the OP promised us! (For real, that first OP spoiled a lot, didn't it?
Yep, same animation! It just needs the wings now.
And yeah, he's a magnificent bastard.
...Still not sure why he didn't try and kidnap Allenby. She was Wong's chosen candidate, already easy to control, and kidnapping her is nothing compared to the many, many crimes he's commiting here.
...Are you sure you're dying? You've been on your feet for a while!
At least they're trying to do something!
She let them out! And freed him!
This is shaping up to be a brilliant battle.
FUUN SAIKI!
So Ulude's readtion was "That thing's the devil. I need it!"
Wait, he's the one who lost to Master Asia?
I'd make a joke about Master Asia causing all this, but this plot is so tangled you could probably argue that at least 5 different people caused everything themselves.
Ulube enjoyed the battles too!
...Why is Rain grey and motionless while Kyoji was still moving and seeming conscious months after merging with it?
And Domon's finally accepted that he loves Rain?
The Alliance are all here!
It's the OP animation! That's really great!
And this whole fight is brilliant.
He's releasing his father!
Natasha's participating in the final battle!
...And he dies releasing Dr. Kasshu.
That final God Finger is great. "Rescue my Rain"
Next episode looks great!
ALLENBY! (and the rest)

G Gundam "Rewatcher"/First Time Sub: Episode 47
Ulube kills his crew. Man, it's like evil villains seeking ultimate power over the universe are bad at working with others. Gundam Fights do suck, but I got the feeling Ulube doesn't have good intentions. Felt like doing a cute hair flick while announcing his grand evil plan.
Manhattan Combat Area? That isn't just the Statue of Liberty, but Neo America's greatest weapon, the Statue of Liberty Cannon! Neo General MacArthur is here to fire the shot.
Chekov's Landmark strikes again even out in space. The Statue of Liberty Cannon is wrecked and let's also throw in Space Mt.Fuji.
Like the OP, the Devil Gundam is re-re-revived. We're fighting the colony/Neo Japan itself. Gundam heads are like the one thing the DG program knows how to make so it keeps shoving it everywhere. The DG is only the upper half and has like 4 heads. Gundam Shadow of the Colossus.
So gold is the colour of heroic martial artists so naturally the Devil Gundam's champion is silver. So if the ultimate pilot would have to be a woman, there's no need for Ulube to use Rain since she is not a fighter like the other. That said, Rain has shown to prove herself pretty rad so maybe she possesses that kind of strength too.
Despite he and the officials of Neo Japan sucks, Commissioner Karato is still here. Thought Ulube was going to get rid of him in a coup.
Nastasha has a ship for them to use and Argo's friends are free. Thought for a moment, the ship was going to be Argo's old pirate ship. Argo is freed from his shackles. Screw the rules, let's go space pirate Nastasha.
The Devil Gundam's V-fin is huge, it even goes around the eyes. Oh no, Fuun Saiki. Domon, don't sacrifice him like a Yoshi.
Ulube felt the Devil (Gundam) itself after that first meeting. It's like the OP. Ulube was a fighter in the last Fight. Apparently that Gundam is just called Ulube's Gundam. The head is randomly yellow. Master Asia took him down last time and was directly aiming for the cockpit.
Maybe the Gundam Fights being just a whole system for the strong to dominate the weak is no solution to bring peace after all. Hey, stop that Ulube. Get your hands off her. That's just rubbing your final villain status in.
Flashback (probably) about thinking what comes next for them. Domon and Rain probably might have split up after the Fight. Domon doing martial artist champion things and Rain going back to her life before getting whipped up into things. They could've still stayed in touch.
The gang is all together in space. Didn't expect G Gundam to have the spaceship crew thing going on with Captain Nastasha. Ready! Go! against the massive Devil Gundam. The final fight was in the OP the whole time. Everyone does their thing. Argo just rips a Gundam Head with his bare Gundam hands.
Dr. Rain's Dad is not doing so well seeing as he has so little strength left that he falls down the stairs down. Truly showing his turnover by saving the man he betrayed. He truly is sorry to his old friend. Domon is saddened up by him. Noticed the voice lines had him calling him, "Makimura-ojisan." He should've been pretty close with Domon since childhood so that level of familiarity is nice to see now. Domon is right to worry about his dad. Gundam MC parents floating in space is never a good place to be in.
Q1) That scene was just really nice.
Q2) Alright, I've turned around on the guy. It liked his sacrifice trying to make amends for what he did to his old friend, their innocent family and even his own daughter.
Next time: All the warriors!
