SBG-E01 Shin Burning Gundam

So let's continue our look at how Metaverse could have better handled the returning characters from the previous series. And for Fighters Try, it was handled pretty well. Sekai is very on-point, and because his story was the latest in his timeline, his design fits, too. I do wish his gi had a little more flare to it to fit the other costumes we see in Divers/Metaverse, but him repping his school works from a character perspective.

Fumina's fine. She's mostly there for fan service, being the only character to get an actual redesign. And she feels like a fan service character, which, yes, they used her for fan service in her original series a little bit, but she was a much deeper and interesting character than just that, and that's very much lacking from this interpretation.

The Kit: It's just the Kamiki Burning Gundam again, but with a new shoulder, hip skirt, and backpack. Apart from the horns, you can basically rebuild the entire kit again. Still, the new parts are neat, and the new effect parts are cool.

The Details: Man, I'm just now noticing I forgot to clean one of the knees... Anyway, apart from panel lining and black fill, I used metallic blue for the eyes and peripheral cameras, as well as on the areas underneath the translucent blue parts. This is in contrast to what I did with the Exceed Galaxy where I used the red on the underside of the parts themselves. I also used gold, black, and metallic blue on the the two swords.

Overall, while it isn't an especially interesting upgrade, the new parts are still really cool, and another way of getting this kit that's kinda old and doesn't get reprinted as much. It's not really worth it if you already have a Kamiki Burning, but if you don't, then it's a perfectly fine kit with a very fun backpack. The backpack is very cool.

Gundam Build Fighters Amazing Try Short Story

Long post incoming

Takeshi Iori was operating the Gunpla Battle device that day as well. For someone like him, who devotes his life to the popularization of Gunpla, it has become an indispensable part of his day. He sometimes stops by areas where it doesn’t exist, but even when he does, he trains himself through mental battles. Battling without fail every day. The absolute condition for honing your skills. He held a Gunpla in front of the battle machine. It was an RX-78-2 with additional equipment. It was the “Perfect Gundam” that he had decided to use for training today. Just before setting it down to start, the machine began to run on its own. “What…?”

A battlefield spread out in front of him. It was outer space, and there was no way to turn it off. A Gunpla was launched at the same time. It was another RX-78-2 but equipped with never before seen equipment. Takeshi’s eyes widen as he looks at it. In outer space, on the other side of the battlefield, the operator of the Gunpla was vague. “It can’t be…” He saw an image in the silhouette, but that person shouldn’t be there. In his fantasies, Takeshi has fought with fighters who don’t exist in real life, such as anime characters. But it shouldn’t be real. If the person in the silhouette is who he thought it was, then this might be a dream or a delusion.

“But it’s funny!” It’s funny, yes, that Gunpla is Freedom. Takeshi also set his Perfect Gundam onto the device and went out into the battlefield. He fired his shoulder cannon at the enemy’s Gundam the moment he came out, but it was easily avoided. “Are you… worthy of using it?” “I see. You have the right to say that to whoever uses the Perfect. You’ll see for yourself!” Before Takeshi could finish his sentence, the enemy fires a beam rifle. Holding a beam javelin in his other hand, he generated three beam sabers from his shield, ready to fight. In other words, it was the answer to Takeshi’s own words. “I’ll borrow your chest, sir!” Takeshi closes the distance. The enemy’s Beam Javelin has a long reach and a high energy output, making it too dangerous to approach. But he can’t pull it. “I got it!” “I won’t let you do that!”

The Javelin strikes the Perfect’s shield. Takeshi strikes back with the beam saber, but the original shield equipped on the enemy’s arm blocks the strike. It was a fast reaction. Both of them drew their respective weapons and fought to their heart’s content. “Well done.” “I can fight someone like you… That’s the best experience I can have as a fighter. It’s only natural I did my best.” Both of them attacked and were attacked many times. A clash of infinite offense and defense. “Ha…” When he came to, Takeshi had passed out in front of the machine. He had fought to the limit of his mental strength. “Maybe that battle was a dream… or…” Takeshi laughed. It didn’t matter to him whether the battle was real or a dream. He had a fulfilling battle. That was enough for him.

Having speed watched gundam build fighters try i can definitely say that the problem with try is that it doesnt have a fucking plot. Not even in the sense that light heartened non serious nonsense like this usually is, where the plot is nearly non existant. no. that'd be too much for try.

to put it another way, try is basically a loosely associated collection of character moments, story beats and emotional drama in the trench coat of a story, interspliced with nonsense popcorn action beats that lull the brain into a temporary coma. and then you wake up in a cold sweat as the awful main characters screech romance drama or weird try hard shonen nonsense well anyone actually interesting hangs out in the background for their turn with the rival introduction pileup, as the same song plays over and over.

ITS NOT A PLEASENT EXPERIENCE

Shin SD Gundam Gaiden Knight Gundam Maryuu Zero no Kishiden: Extra Thread

Pretty much this is just like the Kikoushin Densetsu one I did. But there will be a bit extra this time.

Let's start from the "beginning". Zero's father, Falco Gundam was one of the original members of the Knights of the Round Table. He had a sort of rivalry with King I. One day, he, Conan, and Javor were sent to the region of Granada to investigate strange happenings.

Said strange happening was a random and intense storm that appeared in Granada. Fuhrer Zatarion from the Command Chronicles series also appeared, forcing Conan to remember that he's Command Gundam. Conan and Javor protect Zero while Falco engages Zatarion with Dragoon.

In the end, Zatarion took massive damage, but Falco was out of strength. Conan/Commando goes after Zatarion, never to return. Falco gives Zero the Thunder Sword and tells him to escape from the storm with Javor. Around this time, the Illusion Emperor reveals himself and captures Falco.

Turns out that the Illusion Emperor had attached himself to Javor beforehand. Weakened and unarmed, Falco had no chance and was easily overwhelmed. He was later turned into Vice Gundam and the remaining parts of Zatarion that had broken off during their battle were used to make his Machine Soldier.

"You'll be living alone from now on, but this Thunder Sword will guide you..."

Ultimately, the young Zero was the only one left standing when the storm cleared.

"Where...do I go? What...do I do? *sob* FATHER!!!"

This next part covers the GB game. Despite being directly given the sword, Zero cannot properly use it yet. This is because the Thunder Clan laws emphasize the power of oneself and has several candidates fight for the position of "Inheritor". In this case, there are three others.

These three candidates are Knight Sandias, Knight Mezaldan, and Knight V-Square. Zero battles each candidate 1v1. The loser has whatever skills they've acquired to that point sealed.

To put it bluntly, Sandias and Mezaldan are... kinda assholes and V-Square is the only one of them who is actually a good person.

Zero beats Sandias and Mezaldan, but then he takes on V-Square…and loses.

However, it turns out that the "Inheritor" is not the one who wins the battle, but the one who the Thunder Sword chooses. This is because the system apparently chooses the one whose genetic makeup closely matches the original clan's founder, Draguna Sieg. (I think?)

As a result, Zero becomes the successor and V-Square is rejected.

However, V-Square has the most hilariously chill reaction to being rejected as a legendary successor and becomes the priest of the Thunder Clan.

Mecha Basis + Lore

Interestingly, Zero Gundam himself is currently the only SD Gundam protag to not be based on a Gundam, but is instead based on the Showkew from Victory Gundam. Knight Victory and V-Square instead are based on the protag unit of Victory (Victory and V2 accordingly).

This segways into our next subject, the Illusion Emperor.

It's not mentioned in the manga, but his full name is Illusion Emperor Assault Buster. Yup, as in V2 Gundam Assault Buster. This is the only case in SD Gundam where an enemy MS is the hero and the hero's MS is the villain.

Apparently, the reason for this is the crew was forbidden from making Victory's MSs SD until the latter half of the series. They used hidden bases, but didn't go all-out until later.

Star Wars and Fist of the North Star were also used as inspiration for the work. Which means, yes, Vice Gundam is a Darth Vader reference.

Back to Assault Buster, his original identity was Knight V2, the heir to the Storm Sword. Unlike the Thunder Clan, the Storm Clan places emphasis on fighting together, which is why there are multiple Inheritors that exist at once. The current one has the title "Storm Commander".

While he was the Storm Commander, Knight V2 was described as powerful and full of ambition. However, he one day suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Falco Gundam, which utterly shattered his heart.

This lead him to obsess over becoming more powerful…

This eventually lead him into the mirror world, where he met the Zanscare Clan. In exchange for joining with the Zanscare Clan, Knight V2 was given immense power and became Illusion Emperor Assault Buster.

And became utterly horrifying in the process.

Similarly to Kikoushin Densetsu, Knight Gundam Monogatari also uses non-Gundam bases for some of its mechs. For example, Knight Victory's machine soldier is based on Galient (from Panzer World Galient) and Beast King GoLion (from GoLion).

Metanall is based on Azolba Zee from Panzer World Galient.

Epco 94 is based on Vega from Genma Wars.

While never scene in the manga, V-Square's machine soldier, Sky Paladin, is based on Wingal Zee from Panzer World Galient.

Cameo in Gundam Build Fighters Try

Most English-speakers probably recognize Zero Gundam from episode 12 of Gundam Build Fighters Try, "Fly to the Future" as a Gunpla used by Lady Kawaguchi.

There are actually a few small references to Knight Gundam Monogatari in this episode.

(Yes, I know this same episode also has a few SD Gundam Force references in its impact frames due to the series having its 10th Anniversary, but this is a Knight Gundam Monogatari Thread, not a SD Gundam Force Thread)

To start off… When Lady Kawaguchi first shows off Zero in the episode, he is wearing a cloak. This is likely a reference to one of the Arc 1 Prologue cards for Knight Gundam Monogatari.

MARYUU AWAKEN!!

Did you happen to catch something? Like did you see something? Don't worry, we'll go into that.

It's Mars Dragoon! There is an impact frame of Mars Dragoon!!

While not exact wording, before finishing off Fumina's Winning Gundam, Lady Kawaguchi even references Zero Gundam's catchphrase, "Return to "zero"!" (“無”（ゼロ）に帰れ！, "zero" ni kaere!).

Here, she says "Zero ni kaerinasai!", which is a more feminine version of the phrase.

After finishing off Winning Gundam, there is one more impact frame. This one has Zero's father, Falco Gundam, in his Holy Dragon Knight form. This is the form he fought Zatarion in, actually. You can see this scene in motion below.
