Super Orchis and the rough draft for Arteia's box art have been revealed at Tamashii Nations 2024.

While it does say "for display only" I do get the feeling they'll make it officially.

I am loving the art for Artiea.

I did the comfort character meme.

I have a lot of comfort characters but my bf specifically chose Saber from Fate/Samurai Remnant and Neo Gundam from SD Gundam Gaiden Kikoushin Densetsu.

GANSO ARTIEA IS HERE

Putting all the images I took while under VPN under a cut.

[kachikirby]

This is literally just me and a couple of people on my Discord server.

Someone posting fan art of Saddrac Knight Saga or Kikoushin Densetsu pretty much becomes a huge national event. Especially because everyone knows how much I love them in particular.

being in a fandom comprised of 12 people and a bag of corn chips is great because whenever anyone posts anything all 11 of your pals are like

NEW GANSO SD GUNDAM INFO HAS DROPPED FROM THE TAMASHII NATIONS TWITTER

So two months ago, they showed off this image on the page of the Superior Edition of Gungenesis.

Obviously, this hinted at them making a kit for the final Armor God, Arteia.

In the article I linked, they officially announced that they will be making a kit for Arteia and they released a preview of the combined form, Gungenesis Final!

Also there will apparently be a small figure for Luna to put in the cockpit like with Chaosgaia.

But you can also put this Luna in Elgaia since he was supposed to be the pilot of Elgaia.

They also released a preview illustration of the build instruction manual with this drawing of Luna.

God, I love this so much you do not understand. Luna Gundam is probably one of my favorite lesser appreciated SD Gundam Gaiden characters and I love his prince form.

I want these two lower arts from Puzzle Heroes to be released officially at some point.

I haven’t found many dedicated SD Gundam Knight blogs!!

have you seen the re-release of the 1992 CB kit series?

If you're talking about the Ganso SD Gundam kit remakes, I freaked out about it when it was revealed two months ago.

It's for the main mech of Kikoushin Densetsu, one of my favorite Knight Gundam works and it comes with a lot of nice golden seals related to the moon kingdom of that series.

But the biggest thing was them hinting that, after all these years, YES WE ARE GETTING ARTEIA, THE LAST ARMOR GOD.

I almost made a bad financial decision because I didn't have the other kits in this set, but I already had Elgaia.

But I will definitely be preordering Arteia when the page is up on US P-Bandai.

SD Gundam Gaiden Knights of the Round Table: The Reposted Thread

Posting this thread here for the exact same reasons as the Kikoushin Densetsu one, except I posted it on Twitter in January of 2020. This was actually decided on via a poll I had on Twitter.

This manga is the adaption of SD Gundam Gaiden: Knights of the Round Table, which takes place after Sieg Zeon Hen. It was serialized in Comic Bom Bom as part of Hoshino Ryuichi's "Knight Gundam Story" manga series. Like all other Knight Gundam mangas, the mangaka is Hoshino Ryuichi (ほしの竜一).

It's probably also one of the most beloved arcs in the Japanese fandom, considering how many Japanese fans retweeted the original poll, in which this arc won by a landslide. Despite this, the large cast and King Gundam's complex design made it so it was extremely difficult for them to animate it, so it never happened. I hope it will someday. There's also a lot to cover, so expect multiple extra threads.

Note: This thread uses the original tankobon release instead of the compilation volume.

I know I don't do this much, but I'd like to promote this tweet I made, mostly to bring attention to preserving the lost media of iMode and EZweb games.

Let me know if you know anything about finding this game or at least how to watch videos without an account on Internet Archive Nico Douga.

SD Gundam Gaiden Knight Gundam Kikoushin Densetsu: The Imported Translation Thread

I posted this thread on Twitter back in 2019, and with the site's future currently being questionable, I thought I would begin importing the threads here so my original translation wouldn't be lost. These specifically used the new collected volumes from 2017. I have the OG tankobons as well.

This manga was serialized in Comic Bom Bom from 1993 to 1994. It's an adaption of the Knight Gundam carddas series of the same name. The mangaka is Hoshino Ryuichi (ほしの竜一), who does all of the other manga adaptions of Knight Gundam manga. (And before anyone else asks, yes, there is a seinen mangaka named Hoshino Ryuichi (星野竜一), and no, they are not the same person. They're as related as two classmates with the same first name.)

SD Gundam Gaiden Knight Gundam Kikoushin Densetsu: Comparison Thread

This will be a thread all about compairing the differences between the manga version of Kikoushin Densetsu and the cardass version of Kikoushin Densetsu.

It will also include some SD Gundam lore.

The first order of business is the first character cut from the manga, Mage Fencer Meteor Gundam. While not directly important to the main plot, he was significant in the fact that he was one of the members of the first Knights of the Round Table.

Additionally, he had left Britis before it fell simply because he wanted to study his sword magic more.

The second character cut is Tactician Quattro, the disguise of Knight Char who was watching for Sieg Zeon's incoming revival. Upon his revival, he joins the fight on the side of the heroes.

In Seikihei to Kikoushin, he was the one who found where Sieg Zeon had fallen and finished him off juuuust to be sure that the villain was taking a permanent dirt nap if you know what I mean.

The third cut is Death Machine Soldier Evil Shadow. This was the controlled form of Jupiterus in the carddas series and game.

Next order of business is Knight Gerbera. It was never revealed in the manga, but his real name is Knight GP04 and he used to be a Knight of Dabat. The reason he left was because of that whole "Knight of Destiny" thing he talked about.

GP01 with a Machine Soldier's Spear from the second chapter. Also cut, though it is minor.

Neo and Luna's past from the Carddas version is near identical to the manga. The brothers are twin princes from the moon kingdom Selenis whose memories were sealed by the king of the moon and traveled to the Saddrac World long ago to live in peace.

Luna and Neo's original forms. They left the moon due to the Ancient Moon war with Gjallarhorn, controlled by the "Evil of the Moon" making it uninhabitable. They travelled together in Gungenesis. More of this is discussed in New World Advent Legend, which will be its own thread.

Another piece of interesting lore. The 2010 Complete Box Set release introduced a seventh Armor God, Arteia. When the Armor Gods would combine, it would go onto the back to increase mobility and create Gungenesis Final, which is quite cool.

Additionally, when it was built, Arteia was meant to be piloted by Neo. Elgaia was meant to be piloted by Luna. (This is reflected on the Ganso Revival kit for Elgaia, where Luna is listed as a pilot). So what happened to Arteia? That'll be next...

From the Elgaia Ganso kit.

While escaping from the moon, Gungenesis was attacked from the back, damaging Arteia. At some point, Neo and Luna had changed mechas, with Luna falling to the planet with Arteia. Despite being damaged, Arteia's life support still functioned, putting Luna in cold sleep.

Both Luna and Neo (who was captured) were in cold sleep, which is how they survived for thousands of years. Eventually, Delaz found Arteia's wreckage, and you know what happened to Luna. But what about Arteia?

The wreckage of Arteia was converted into Chaosgaia. So, in reality, Chaosgaia is Arteia rebuilt into evil. This is the interesting thing I mentioned. With it being destroyed, I sadly don't think Gungenesis Final will ever appear again...

This is the end of the lore related to Kikoushin Densetsu. There is some stuff about the Ancient Moon War that caused Luna and Neo to leave in the first place, but I'm saving that for when I eventually do a New World Advent Legend thread if I'm bugged enough to do it. (Which I'll won't be too surprised if people don't since not many people know about it and a lot of its design bases come from Gundam IBO.)

Anyway, end of thread.

SD Gundam Gaiden Knight Gundam Kikoushin Densetsu: Extra 4

Extra 4: Neo-kun Returns to the Moon

Amuro and Indy notice that Neo cries when he sees the moon and think it's because he's reminded of Selenis. They plan to send him to the moon and ask GM Cannon II if he can use his magic to make a rocket. He produces a racket.

They beat up GM Cannon and then find out that GP01 will launch Neo out of the Orchis's cannon instead. The launch is successful.

Roux finds out and panics, as the moon was a crescent moon and now Neo is hanging from it.

The next chapter is a sequel where Neo fights the remaining forces of Gjallarhorn on the moon on foot a la Mellowlink.

*There is no next chapter

Bonus: My handwritten notes for "Neo-kun Returns to the Moon" from my translation of the original tankobon release. Posted honestly because this extra chapter is golden.
