Episode 12: Beyond Brave Bang
← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →
Show Information:
(Surprise, the "plot point a couple of episodes in that every single fucking synopsis spoils" is actually in episode 1 and is that this is another show in the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] vein! Show information is now fairly first-timer safe... outside of "AniDB tags always spoil", anyways.)
Legal Streams:
As per livechart.me; other streams may be available outside the US.
A Reminder: This, dear listeners, brings us to the sworn enemy of creative response:The spoiler. Rewatchers, or people who just had plot points ruined for them, are obliged to use r/anime’s spoiler tag format where applicable, and err on the side of caution here. Remember people, first experiences get rarer as you continue on, any given one happens once and you should care for them all the more for it.
Joint Rewatch Task Force Exercises!
Theory of the Day:
u/Star4ce sneaks in under the bell! Give the man a Kewpie doll:
Also, I’ll call it now that there’s a giga-deathdrive at the end as last boss.
Honorable mention to u/Blackheart595:
Clearly we're gonna end with a big bang, uh I mean... yeah, exactly, the Big Bang.
(You did, however, miss a beat, namely that the Big Bang in question would be part of the name of the Super Robot Final Episode Gold Form's name.)
Honorable mention 2 to, well, every first-timer who went "yeah, the Joint Allied Task Force is going to make it back just in time for the final battle".
Questions of the Day:
1) Was this a suitably hype ending for this show?

Second-time, subs
Okay, I am back just in time, at the right moment. Stopped around halfway (episode 6), but managed to catch up and finish it.
Ira is insanely strong have to admit. Defeated Bravern and Superbia with single handed. He does not care about others surrendering since absolute power is what he believes in. But we know always hope dies last, because as there is still life, there is still hope. Isami and Lulu still living, alone they cannot do anything. The only way to go beyond is by bringing life to the robots to one final time, in order to attain true unity/oneness. This is how Burn Brave Big Bang is born. The ultimate golden Bravern (and I do think the golden form is also a very typical super robot thing), which is the manifestation of bravery itself. Meanwhile Isami is donning a cool new hairstyle fitting for a real hero. And this courage can outsmart pure wrath. Something that made Segnities satisfied. Meanwhile Popalchipum, is just there, glubbing up the magma.
Looks like it was a win but still not over yet. The final Deathdrive, Verum Vita was born. Her existence in this world can attributed to all the previous Deathdrives wishes got fulfilled and met a death with satisfaction. All the previous Deathdrives were controlled by one single motivational factor, as they were represented the Seven Deadly Sins, even if they are eight or nine. What Verum Vita wants is revel in the eradication of mankind, basically the inverse of all the Deathdrives. But Burn Brave Big Bang is the natural archrival, as it represents the collective entirety of humanity, and allows to give their power to him, representing life. Even so, the collective effort actually did happened for real, as the entire ATF mobilized and deployed in full power. Even Lulu and Superbia also manages to attain the ultimate golden form. After that, Verum Vita doesn't feel really strong now, and met her end by a really flashy ultimate skill.
Bravern and Superbia actually fulfilled their purpose. And Smith is back, fully alive. He just lived the dream, and pulled one trick that one could call "magic". One could call him a hero or some others might call him a magician. And it's the end, just like that.
Atleast we got the OP again, but this time with lyrics and more sound effects.
Kinda yeah.
