SSSS.DYNAZENON THE GATTAI Gridman Universe & Big Goldburn

Thank goodness this one didn't have shipping issues like the last Goldburn set. In fact, I got an email a week out saying exactly when it would ship, and it arrived before the tracking number could even update. That's pretty good service if you ask me, especially compared to last time.

Oh, and I really enjoyed the crossover film. It basically gave us everything you'd want from this type of thing; catching up with the characters post-series, lots of fun character moments between the casts, previous villains playing heroic roles, every single possible robot combination you might want, just a lot of fun overall.

The Good: Gridman Universe is a decent upgrade to its previous incarnations. While it looses a bit of posability, it has ratcheted shoulders to help support the weight of the larger arms. The hands are also easier to swap, and they fixed the issue with the chest gem by giving it a release button on the back of the figure.

Big Goldburn is a bit of a brick, but has a few articulated areas. He's got arms, fingers and toes, wings, a bit of neck and tail, and a mouth (though its on the same joint as the neck, so it clashes). Also, when you spin the shoulders, the internals and tips spin in the opposite direction.

And Rouge Kaiser Gridman is very cool. It feels a lot more solid than its Gridknight counterpart, with the tail also serving to tripod the unit if need be (though it doesn't need it).

The Bad: While Gridman's new shoulders do help hold everything up better than its predecessors, I do find it to be a little under-powered. They hold a pose well, but if you start moving the figure, they will shift around. There are some weird transformation ideas that feel like they're there for longevity's sake, but they do seem and feel a bit odd at first. And this may just be a thing with international shipments, but the instructions seem to imply the chest piece is supposed to come with batteries (it is illustrated with a pulltab), but in practice has none. It required 3 LR44s, but it's important to note that those batteries have multiple names and can vary by brand, so have your phone out while shopping in-store for them.

Overall, while I can try and nitpick this kit, it's a fantastic addition to both the DX Gridman and The Gattai lines. It does a great job trying to adjust to the failings of its predecessors, and gives me high hopes for the Full Power Gridman V2 releasing later this year. I've got my nose to the ground trying to track down Full Power Gridknight (since I missed the preorder window on that one), so hopefully we'll get to talk about that one soon, too.

He would nod then and say, "Yes, I will. Follow me, friend." He turned on his heel and started walking towards his manor. There, they'd climb a set of curved steps that led to a rather grand door. Goldburn would open it, revealing a rather grand lobby area. They were white marbled pillars and golden suits of armor with golden weapons to match. All would be decorative rather than for wearing. There would be a small red door to the left hall, and goldburn would point that it out. "That's where my estate's manager office resides. He deals with all staff inquiries. My staff, of course, lives on the grounds, so unless one of them took a trip into Acidrial, every single member should be here."

Long Way Down

@the-mysticandmodern-world

The city of Acidrial has always been a bustling area, even before they decided to put up the walls. The city was filled with various markets, factories, and ways to entertain one's self. There was a pair of twin rivers that flowed through one wall of the city and out another. The middle of the city had a very tall and golden tree nestled at the crossroads of all the districts. In the north of the city would be a group called the Cerlics of Riversong, and to the east would be the adventurers guild.

Currently. A very angry male drow was talking to the bard at the desk, begging to be given a quest. Though during his argument with the bard, he would seemingly be switching between Common, Elvish, and Deep Drow. Because of this, the bard was only getting 2/3rds of what the Drow was saying to him.

SSSS.GRIDMAN THE GATTAI Full Powered Girdknight

Missed the preorder window on this one, but managed to snag the second one that popped up on Mandarake. And I'm glad I did, because this thing is great. This should be the same mold as the upcoming THE GATTAI FP Gridman, and it is a startling improvement. This isn't just some simple retool; it's an entirely new mold. Not even Gridknight is the same, overhauling him to better fit his role as the center of this robot, something the original Gridman failed to do.

The Good: Gone is the flimsy DX Full Powered Gridman. To start, Gridknight has been fitted almost entirely with ratcheted joints, meaning he can now much more easily hold the weight of all his machines. Not only that, but they took a page out of the Moderoid's book and made a stronger, more posable replacement torso, but also fixed the issue I had with it by giving it its own head, so you can display both Gridknight and FP Gridknight at the same time. But even if you choose to forgo it, Gridknight is perfectly capable of holding everything up.

Onto everyone else, this set actually comes with two Calibers of different sizes, and a handle so you can use the larger one's chest piece as a shield. Max, Borr, and Sky are functionally the same as vehicles, but Max's cannons now stop at the appropriate height so you don't have to fiddle with that during transformation.

Powered Knight Zenon may not look much different from the original, but has quite a few new tricks going on under the hood. For starters, it requires no adapters; everything is designed into the vehicles themselves, including the very impressive neck joint they added (which just blows my mind how they pulled that off). They also gave it a much better A-stance, actual ankles to accommodate it, and you can use Sky's transformation joints to give it some inward arm motion.

And Full Powered Gridknight is an impressive feat, being both taller than the original and around its scale to Dynazenon seen in the film. The transformation is also so much cleaner. Everything feels better, connects better, is much more solid, even more so than Dynazenon. They even made the cuts in Sky's wings the actual transformation joint, which several of the releases haven't done. And he is ridiculously posable. It has every joint; I don't know what else to tell you. It also comes with open and posable alternative hand. They even added dedicated engineering into Borr that allows for a brand new combination with Goldburn.

The Bad: Not everything is exactly perfect, though. While you can get the new Gridknight to work as Rouge Kaiser, the elbows are too long, meaning you have to twist the arms in a weird way to get them to fit, and Dynasoldier is less stable.

And both Zenon and FP have mediocre ankles. Like, they work, but Zenon's require a bit of fidgeting and you often have to display them on their toes. FP on the other hand just doesn't have enough rock, making more wide-legged, dynamic poses an issue. I recommend using the included stand to help with those (...which I did not take pictures of).

Overall, the difference is quality between this and the original DX are dirt and stratosphere. If you were disappointed by the original, or if you liked the Moderoid, then I highly recommend this one, or just waiting a few months for the V2 to come out.

[toku-explained]

SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon were both reedited as compilation movies, accompanied by a new post-credit scene leading into the movie, and a new Voice Drama set at the end of the years.

Gridman Universe saw the 2 series brought together a year later.

A Voice Drama came out alongside the movie, with a couple more with the blu-ray. Each featured the cast of both series able to easily meet up.

2 live shows promoted the movie, one starring Dynazenon, Gridman helped him against Alexis. The other starred Gridman against Alexis and Gagula, but when Dynazenon and Gridknight arrive Alexis overcomes them by stealing cheers, until they regains them, Gridman wields the Gridman Calibur as Gridknight wields the Gridknight Calibur, and then Gridman uses the Dynamic Cannon while Gridknight uses both Caliburs to defeat Alexis.

Mizusawa Yume and bun150 together produced the novelisation, with some additional scenes added to the narrative, such as showcasing Gridknight's various forms.

Mizusawa Yume also penned a new story for the Super Complete Works, Things Continue, which took place before any actual crossover, which saw various items from Tsutsijidai wind up in Fujiyokidai due to lingering regrets, but the issue is resolved.

The first Gridman, Dynazenon collaboration was the Azur Lane collaboration, World-Spanning Arclight. The initial event featured Rikka (embodying Gridman), Yume (embodying Dynazenon), Akane (embodying Alexis Kerib), Chise (embodying Goldburn), Mujina (embodying Gagula), Namiko (embodying Gridman Calibur and Battle Tractor Max) and Hass (Embodying Buster Borr and Sky Vittor). A repeat after Gridman Universe added Nidaime (embodying Sounderous) and Hime (embodying Dynazenon)

SSSS.Junction XD was the final Symphogear XD collab, Alongside Gridman empowering Hibiki and Gridknight empowering Tsubasa, it featured Chris supported by Alexis. Rex and the NGJHs appeared as well.

A set of Wireless headphones from Aviot was released as a collaboration, it included voice lines from Rikka, Akane, Yume, Chise, Borr and Nidaime, later lines were added from Gridman, Yuta, Utsumi, Knight, Rex, Yomogi and Koyomi.

Gridman Universe Show featured 2 further Script Readings.

The World of 5000 Years Ago saw Rex, Knight and Nidaime track Alexis Kerib to 5000 years ago using Sounderous to cross time. There they witness Hime and Namika, Hime is currently being courted by Alexia Kekebab, until his rudeness causes Namika to snap at him, angering him into revealing himself as Alexis Kerib, Dynazenon and Gridknight challenge him, but after a seeming victory, Alexis reveals he ahs already the ancient civilisations' ultimate weapon, the Dynamic Cannon, and uses Dynamic Alexis Fire to defeat Gridknight. Dynazenon despairs until Hime recognises Gauma's voice, and while he denies it, her recognising him and her feelings encourage him, channeling other historic women of legend as he fights Alexis, who is stabbed from behind by Gridknight with his own swords. While Nidaime readies the Fixer Beam, Dynazenon and Hime talk, and when she makes clear she can tell he is the Gauma she loves, he decides to confess his love, knowing she'll forget once the Fixer Beam is finished.

Both Sides, Now saw the Gridman Alliance, Rikka Mama, Hass, Gauma Team, Akane and Gridman come together to try and solve the mystery of Utsumi's disappearance. I didn't hear a specific moment their relationship is clearly mentioned, but Hass' emotional state would seem to mean it is now revealed to the others. To try and help find him Akane provides an artificial human modified for a Decker footsoldier, as the Dyna version was modified from Khan Digifer's soldiers), but when Yomogi uses Instance Domination the AI possesses him. Yuta and Gridman try to free him, but the robot is more than a march and summons it's master, Mad Origin. Gridman is defeated, until Utsumi's voice rings out, and encourages the audience to cheer for Gridman. With a combined shout of the Access Code: Gridman, Denkou Chojin and Primal Fighter appear to backup Universe Fighter, and a combined Fixer Beam allows them to destroy the robot and free Yomogi. With just Mad Origin left, Gridknight and Dynazenon arrive from the previous story to help defeat Mad Origin, who is defeated by a Tri-Grid Finish. Everyone gradually leaves until it is just Akane and Gridman. For really the first time she greets him, talks about how she used to hate the Kaiju losing to the heroes but now thanks to her friends she understands. Gridman tells her he considers her a friend too. After however long it's been, Akane properly thanks Gridman for saving her, and they walk off stage hand in hand.

So far yet to feature in fiction, the blu-ray package exclusives included Shadowburn, Big Goldburn (Next Mission Ver.) and Gridman Universe Fighter (Next Mission Ver.)

Gridman Universe: Complete Breakdown

At time of writing, the Gridman Universe Show is about to happen, and if nothing major is announced, we may be putting a cap on the Gridman Universe for now. This isn't going to be fully comprehensive, but I do want to share info on the things that are harder to find.

Denkou Chojin Gridman, aka Gridman the Hyper Agent, was a 1993 Tokusatsu series by Tsuburaya based on toy concepts by Takara. A Hyper Agent joins with a group of youths for help to defeat an other dimensional criminal, and they are responsible for both his form and his Assist Weapons.

Followed the next year by a photo sorry, Demon King's Counterattack, which introduced Gridman Sigma to help fight a new threat, and introduced a couple more form variations.

In 2015, Trigger gave us the short boys invent great hero, part retelling of the show and part reimagining of Demon King's Counterattack. But more important, is what it lead to.

[coredrill]

all day. all goddamn day i have been envisioning the griduni heist situation as some dude getting on a flight, seeing that the inflight entertainment service has the movie, and then plugging a computer into the headrest in front of him and somehow getting into the firewalls or whatever like he's hackerman. and i know that it was probably an employee who leaked it or a screen recording, and i've just been envisioning that because i thought it was funny but like. I GET IT. I GET IT NOW. I TOO WOULD HACK AN AIRPLANE FOR THIS MOVIE.
