I finally finished building MG shining. I love this gundam

[disasterbijupiter]

OOPS, I have developed a new hyperfocus habit...

... of turning off timers unconsciously.

I set a timer for my break and realized like 10 minutes later it never went off... but it's turned off... So apparently now when focusing on something I enjoy I turn off alarms without being consciously aware of it... kdjflkdsj

(this happens to me often now)

[disasterbijupiter]

the age-old question: "is my beloved mutual in a totally different time zone to me or do they just have a terrible sleep schedule"

[disasterbijupiter]

Gee, thanks Google!

[disasterbijupiter]

I'm paranoid the algorithm has been burying some of my posts lately.

So I'm experimenting with putting the most recent update date on my G Gundam side story translation pinned masterpost, so that for anyone following it you can check to see whether there's a new one!

~The Past~

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Having given up on a rematch, I immediately went and drew my last breath in a cave I found……… It wasn't suicide by any means……… It's merely that I surrendered myself to nature……… I suspect that I had died the moment I ran away from the school……… and I was fighting as a living corpse driven by my obsession with the School of the Undefeated of the East………”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat speaks as if enlightened.

Domon: “......... That can't be………”

Undefeated of the East: “No, the boundary between the dead and the living may actually be paper-thin. Isn't that right, elder sister disciple?”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Probably so……… Well, one thing's for certain, it gave me the push that I needed……… what you all call the Devil Gundam, that is.”

X X X

The broken remains of Gundam Heads are spread out in Guyana. Part of the wreckage begins to writhe, and it moves underground. Eventually, in pitch-darkness the debris changes into the shape of a grave, and then it transforms into the figure of a woman.

X X X

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Then when I wake up, what do I find but that the Gundam Fight still dominates the world in all its flaws, making an abomination of itself?! And what's more, not just the Undefeated of the East but even his disciple are violating the ‘Shuffle's non-intervention’ and participating in the Fight — how audacious!!”

Lone Fox puts the Undefeated and Domon on the spot.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “That being the case, I was Shuffle even if for a short time, so along with my duties as Dark, I don't see anything wrong with subjecting the Undefeated's disciple to the same fate!!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat's Gundam Master Lone Fox attacks the God Gundam.

Domon: “AAAAUGH!!!!!”

Domon is knocked down by a strike of the white folding fan.

Undefeated of the East: “You've spit out your true intentions, I see!”

The Undefeated of the East rushes on Lone Fox Seeking Defeat.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I'll deal with you later!!”

The white Master's nine-tails funnel plates fly towards him.

Undefeated of the East: “Mmph!!”

In an instant, the nine-tails funnel plates encircle the Master's whole body, and one of them stabs the edge of its blade into the neck.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Don't you move………”

A line of oil oozes from the Master Gundam’s neck.

Undefeated of the East: “You're making good use of the Devil Gundam's power……… I'm impressed.”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “‘I would expect no less of you, elder sister disciple’……… Won't you say that to me?”

Undefeated of the East: “I'd like to do that, after you defeat that idiot over there.”

The Undefeated of the East points toward Domon with his chin.

Domon: “You've left yourself open!!!!!”

Domon lets loose a punch.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Too slow!!”

The Gundam Master Lone Fox hits the God Gundam with the white fan.

Domon: “What?!”

Domon continues to unleash punches. However, all of his punches are dodged.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “That one, on the right!! On the left!! Left again! Above and below from the front!! All of them are too slow! Sluggish!”

Domon: “Why?! Why can't I hit her?!”

Domon panics.

Undefeated of the East: “..................”

The Undefeated of the East watches the situation in silence.

X X X

Rain: “Yeah……… Why can't he land a hit??”

Operating the control unit, Rain analyzes the situation.

Rain: “After all, Domon's skills must have improved several levels from his training in Guyana! That's proven by the fact that he beat the Undefeated of the East!! But then, he can't get a hit in on Lone Fox Seeking Defeat!!”

Rain is baffled.

Rain: “Is it because they're from the same school? Can she anticipate his moves that far ahead?!”

Rain rejects that theory.

Rain: “There’s something going on! Some reason!!”

X X X

Domon: “Haahh...... hahh......”

Domon stops moving and breathes heavily. Domon's feet are caught by the white folding fan, and he falls.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “With skills like those, you claim to be School of the Undefeated of the East?! Can you take over as King of Hearts?! Can you protect the world order?! What are you fighting for, anyway?!! Love? Peace?! If so, you make me laugh!! My dear disciple is laughing in the afterlife, too!! Come now, won't you kowtow and beg for forgiveness?!! Huh? You inexperienced man!! Inexperienced BASTARD!!!!!!!!!”

Domon: “AAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!”

Domon can do nothing but endure Lone Fox Seeking Defeat's continuous attacks.

Domon: “Is it hopeless……… Is the Shuffle crest too heavy for me after all??!! Will this be the end of the Gundam Fight too???!!!”

Domon is anguished. But, in that moment—

X X X

He sees his father, Dr. Kasshu, sentenced to deep freeze.

X X X

Domon: “No!! There's no way I'm gonna lose!!”

Domon's whole body is revitalized with energy.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Hm? You still have this much energy?!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat is surprised. From within Lone Fox Seeking Defeat's barrage of attacks, Domon attempts to stand.

Domon: “I'll fight, and fight! I'll keep on fighting, and get my father BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!”

Domon begins to stand up.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “You stupid bastard………!!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat is momentarily stunned. Then they hear Chibodee’s voice.

Chibodee: “That's right………!! Don't give up… Japanese!!!”

X X X

The Maxter's Chibodee is subjected to a barrage of blows by the various champions.

Chibodee: “Losing to the likes of these people isn't our dream!!”

First-Gen: “What??”

Despite being hit repeatedly, Chibodee's eyes brighten and his guard begins to tighten up.

Chibodee: “That's right!! I'm gonna show dreams and hope to everyone downtown where I grew up!! For that to happen, there's no way I can go down!!!”

With the heat of the moment, Chibodee faces off against the swarm of punches.

First-Gen: “OOHHHH???????”

The first-gen is frightened at the sight of Chibodee.

X X X

George: “Chibodee!! I won't allow you to sneakily get ahead on your own!! I, too, must show the chivalry of our country which is gradually being lost!! That is my dream and my duty!!”

George's Gundam Rose endures amidst the cluster of soldier gundams. Its entire body is pierced by the soldier gundams’ countless sabers.

George: “!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

JD: “Wh-… what is this man's noble, steel force of will?!”

JD falters.

X X X

Sai Saici: “Me too, for the revival of the Shaolin Temple!!”

His whole body, which had been frozen from Tenketsu, is beginning to move.

Sai Saici: “In order to achieve that, I'll put my life on the line with my ultimate secret technique!!!”

Behind the Dragon Gundam, enormous butterfly wings begin to glow.

Founder: “Ohh??!! W-what in the world is that???”

The Founder is mesmerized by its beauty.

X X X

Argo: “Gaia Crusher!!!!!!”

Gaia Crusher shatters the regenerating Gundam Matryoshka. The Bolt Gundam emerges from inside it, pushing aside the debris.

Argo: “I won't fall behind you guys!!! And for the release of my fellow pirates!!”

Argo lets out a roar.

X X X

All together, the four Shuffles take on a fighting pose.

Shuffle: “We'll bet our dreams on the Gundam Fight!!”

The Shuffle gundams regain their fighting spirit.

X X X

Schwarz: “That's right! Fight! Shuffle Alliance!!!!! Now I'll deal with this barrier!!!!”

Schwarz persists in trying to break through the barrier.

Schwarz: “OOHHHHHHH!!!!”

However, the barrier's reaction is increasing.

Schwarz: “No!! The barrier's power is pushing me back! This isn't enough!!”

And then, at that moment, he finds that his back is being supported

Schwarz: Oh?!”

Schwarz’s body is being pushed, giving him strength. He looks to the other party pushing him from behind in order to thank them.

Schwarz: “That helps……… huh?!”

It's a single girl.

Schwarz: “Who are you………??”

Girl: “Allenby Beardsley from Neo Sweden!!”

Schwarz: “What, a girl like you in the Gundam Fight?!”

Allenby: “That's right!! ‘Cause I'm strong!!”

Schwarz: “Haha!! Then I look forward to our match!!”

Allenby: “Don't be too hard on me, but for now—!!”

Schwarz: “Let's make a hole in this barrier!!”

Allenby: “Yeah!!”

The two of them combine their strength.

Sijiema and the others are watching them.

Sijiema: “H-... hey……… Should we go too?”

Eric: “Yeah, as it stands things are not looking good.”

Carlos: “Because if Neo Hong Kong gets blown up there will be no Gundam Fight, or anything left at all.”

The corner post looms in the sky.

Rutger: “Ah……… Alright! Everyone, let's go!!”

Shouting to the other Fighters, everyone rushes over to Schwarz. One after another, the Fighters come down from their gundams.

Allenby: “Big old guy over there, you too!!”

She calls out to Marcelot, who is relaxing on his carriage.

Marcelot: “Hmmmmph……… Not my style, but I guess I've got no choice.”

Marcelot unhurriedly heads over. As a group, they push Schwarz from behind.

Everyone: “OOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”

Michelo is watching the scene, laughing.

Michelo: “Hehe!! They're having a tough time, huh, Chapman? Have you gotten any word from Undefeated of the East Boss about how to escape yet?”

Michelo asks Chapman with a laugh.

Chapman: “.........”

However, Chapman merely shakes his head in silence.

Michelo: “So… so then……… We can't get out of here either………”

Michelo becomes pale.

Michelo: “This is bad!!”

Michelo hurries to join the group.

Schwarz: “Come on! Everyone!!”

Everyone: “OHHH!!!!”

Schwarz: “MMMMMMPPPPHHHHH!!!!!”

Schwarz's fingers dig deep into the barrier.

Allenby: “Y-...... your fingers got in!!”

Allenby rejoices. At that moment, she sees Schwarz's fingers being destroyed.

Allenby: “??”

However, as if it was an optical illusion, his fingers are back.

Allenby: “What was that just now………??”

Schwarz: “Nothing! More importantly, j-...... just a little bit more………”

Allenby: “Y-......... yeah!!”

Distracted by Schwarz, she puts more strength into her hands as she pushes against his back.

The barrier begins to break.

Schwarz: “H-......... how's this?!”

Schwarz spreads his arms out left and right, as if tearing apart a curtain. However, in response the barrier's power increases.

Schwarz: “I-......... it's no good………?!!!!”

At that moment Schwarz has just begun to show signs of weakness.

A single gunshot rings out.

Simultaneously, the barrier becomes distorted.

Schwarz: “!?!”

He looks and sees Chapman aiming his gun.

Schwarz: “Chapman??”

Chapman: “..................”

Without a word, he proceeds to fire in rapid succession. Shot after shot hits overlapping one another, creating a dent in the barrier.

Allenby: “Amaaaaazing!!”

Disturbances in the barrier spread from the point of impact.

Schwarz: “You're amazing!! Chapman!!”

Chapman: “.........”

At Schwarz's call, he silently lights a cigarette. Then in the next instant, along with a flash of light, a kunai stabs each of Schwarz's hands into the barrier.

Schwarz: “My kunai?!”

Voice: “This way you won't be repelled from the barrier, right?”

Looking over, he sees that the owner of the voice is Kyral Mekirel’s Mandala Gundam, which has somehow ended up right next to them.

Kyral: “I'll leave the rest to you.”

Kyral disappears in an instant.

Schwarz: “How creepy!! But this will definitely do the trick!!”

Schwarz fearlessly looks at both of his hands, which are nailed to the barrier.

Schwarz: “Alright! All at once, let's GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Everyone: “OOOHHHH!!!!!”

The whole group puts their strength into it. Schwarz's fingers begin to spread left and right, and finally a hole opens in the barrier.

Schwarz: “We did it!!!”

Holding firm, Schwarz shouts to the crew members.

Schwarz: “Everyone!! Do it NOOOOOOOW!!!”

Nastasha: “Roger!!”

Shirley: “New Finals gimmick!”

Zuisen & Keiun: “System circuit!!”

Raymond: “Control!!!”

Whole crew: “ON!!!!!!”

The Shuffle crew sends a transmission to each gundam.

X X X

Chibodee: “You've saved us!!”

George: “Thank you!!”

Sai Saici: “Everyone's power!!”

Argo: “We've GOT IT!!”

Receiving the signal, everyone feels that their gundam has been imbued with new power. Sensing this, the Dark members are intimidated.

Dark: “Uhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!”

The Gundam Maxter's arms creak as it opens its guard, and from behind that its eyes glint with anger. The Gundam Rose's shield begins to separate. Glowing wings materialize on the Dragon Gundam. The silhouette of the Bolt Gundam shines inside the Gundam Matryoshka.

Shuffle: “Come on! The real battle begins now!!!!!!!”

The Shuffle Gundams are fired up with fighting spirit!!!

Reactions to G side story Tenchi Tengaku Ch. 5

... Now that my full translation for the ep is out so I don't have to worry about spoiling things. But I have had FEELINGS about this because this... this chapter is ridiculous omg xD (not in a bad way)

Reaction thoughts, approximately in order...

My god, Dokko/Lone Fox is SO dramatic...

"Someone learned a cool martial arts move before me, guess I have to cut off my own (dominant!!) arm out of shame..."

"My little brother refuses to fight me ☹... Guess I'm gonna go lie down and die!!!"

lkjkdjs

Me this whole time, since the side story started coming out: "So is this an AU?? Or is this supposed to be literally the same timeline as canon?? I'm going to ponder and analyze this for weeks."

Sai Saici: Literally reveals his secret ultimate technique in front of EVERYONE on the opening ceremony day.

Me: *throws down my piles of notes* It's an AU.

Allenby is here!!!

... But then Schwarz is sexist to her. Schwarz, NO!! I LOVE YOU!! 😭

(Unless he's commenting on how young she looks. But... did he say anything like that about Sai Saici? I don't think he did...)

Allenby shows up just in time to......

*checks notes*

... help Schwarz disintegrate his own fingers over and over! Hooray!

jklsdjsdkj

Also... hold on, Allenby, you were there the WHOLE TIME? Dude WHERE WERE YOU?? 😂 You mean to tell me in the opening ceremony you were just THERE?

Seriously, how did no one see her or know who she was?

I... uh.. okay. xD

Also... I've said it before but now I can REALLY say it... Schwarz is basically Ethan Winters in this fucking story. 😭

His poor HANDS oh my goddd. What does Imagawa have against Schwarz's hands?!?

sldkjksdd

Okay anyways, that's it for now unless I think of any other rants xD

ok, the next part of this post is behind a barrier, there's a keep reading button. if you made it this far, tell me your favorite reptile in the comments. you are more than welcome to stop here, only continue if you would like to.

hiiiii :)

ok you're in the big leagues now. this is the DLC of the post. if you made it here, tell me your favorite milk substitute.

now FOR REAL. this would be a cool place to finish off at. you can go after this, I promise you're not missing out, you can leave. If you made it here, tell me what tattoo you would get if you decided to get a new tattoo today.

thank you for reading, I promise this is a cool place to stop reading the post. you really can go now. :) 👍

*ahem* alright, you are still with me. I'm happy to have ya. here's the deal, the chance of you seeing a picture of my dog within this post is 12.5%. you have a 1/8 chance of seeing a dog in this post.

keep in mind, that is not a high chance.

if you are ready to leave now, tell me your favorite plant. like, your favorite plant can be a tree or a specific fruit or vegetable or whatever. just tell me your favorite. then you may leave the post.

alright. since you made it here, I have the ultimate test: a link. definitely the highest barrier to entry so far, this could lead you anywhere. it's a trust exercise with a complete stranger.

clicking on this link will continue the post further, for how long this will go on, I cannot say. If you do not want to proceed, tell me your favorite sauce, and be on your way. I like buffalo ranch.
