SD Gundam Gaiden Seikihei Monogatari - Chapter 2: Captive Princess

<;- Previous Chapter

F91 and co arrive to rescue Bera (Cecily). Meanwhile, Cecily claims to not know the phrase to awaken the Holy Machine Soldier. One thing she does know is that three items are needed to revive it, to Giros's surprise.

GP02 decides to hold off the enemy on his own to allow GP01 and F91 to advance forward. During this, F91 notices that Cecily's earring is glowing.

This is because the Holy Machine Soldier is in the room ahead.

GP01 calls out that they're here to save Cecily, but are cut off by Neo Zeon's machine soldiers. F91 is surprised to find out that his sword does not work on Machine Soldiers, putting them at a disadvantage. Giros, with the threat of fire, asks Cecily again.

A mysterious armored knight saves Cecily and is revealed to be Seabook. Despite the armor being super heavy, Seabook's desire to save her pushes him on. Cecily recognizes the armor. The two are cut off by Giros turning into a monster to attack them.

GP01 uses his Dancing Leaf technique to allow the two to escape from the Machine Soldier's captivity. They appear close to Cecily and Seabook and are immediately attacked by Monster Giros...with fire.

F91 emphasizes how much of a dumb idea this was, as his name is Burning Knight and easily takes down Monster Giros. GP01 watches in amazement at F91's skill and speed.

With Giros taken down, F91 properly introduces himself to Cecily and they thank Seabook for his help. Then they are attacked by Evil Machine Soldier Dark Tyrant. The machine soldier tries to grab Cecily, but Seabook and F91 protect her and are surrounded by a barrier.

Turns out, the armor, shield, and sword Seabook was carrying were the three items needed to awaken the Holy Machine Soldier. It awakens, and is restrained by Neo Zeon. However, Cecily says there is a problem: It has no pilot.

Suddenly, words appear in the barrier surrounding Seabook and F91.

Cecily: "When the resonating power is aligned…the Holy Machine Soldier will awaken…" is that…the spell to revive the Holy Machine Soldier…!?

End of Chapter Two.

The way i screamed when i realized-

I know why I like Arataki Itto’s English VA now.

My man, Max Mittelman, voiced these characters:

Mans hit with those ones in particular.

[kirider]

Your art for it is so cute, what's Kamen Rider SD? I want to get into it :D

yesss.... fall into my trap... mwhahaha >:3c (also thank you ^v^)

SD in general means Super Deformed, it's a chibi style that's not unique to Kamen Rider (Gundam also has a bunch of SD stuff, mentioning it here bc i love those models :3)

But since you're asking in relation with my art, here's the ones I made art for:

SD The Great Battle

A series of videogames that's a crossover between Kamen Rider, Gundam and Ultraman characters, all in the SD style. An original character called Fighter Roar joins the team from the second game on. They're very fun and wacky game that don't really have a coherent plot but we love them for that :3 In IV they get a giant robot (Compatible Kaiser my beloved) and in V they're cowboys. I love the cowboy outfits so much. Games one to five have english fan translations, now I need someone to translate Gaia Saver because apparently that one has the Rider Killer lore....

Kamen Rider SD: Strange!? Man Spider (or simply Kamen Rider SD OVA)

If you've been around the fandom you probably already know this one. It's a 30 minutes short where RX and the other Battle Riders (Ichigo and ZX) have to rescue RX's crush from shocker, with the help of the Mechanic Riders (V3, X and Super1). Wild Team (Stronger, Amazon and Nigo) appears for like. 3 minutes total at the end but they're my darlings and I love them. Other very important thing in this short is the Rider Carrier, a giant robot grasshopper that acts as their base and I think every version of the riders shoul have a giant grasshopper base not just the SDs u.u This short is apparently an adaptation from the Mighty Riders manga, but I haven't investigated it yet so I can't confirm that. It's also connected to a couple more SD videogames, Sortie!! Rider Machines and Run! Mighty Riders (the team names come from here as far as I can tell)

Kamen Rider SD: Hurricane Legend / Kamen Rider SD: Legend of the Stormy Age

(listen. I know the direct translation is the first one. But the second one is on the back cover so if they gave it an official english title I'm using that :P)

This is probably the one you're asking for, but I wanted to use the excuse to talk about the other two :P

I'll be honest, going in blind on this one is probably the best experience. Do not look up panels you will get spoiled. The basic plot is V3 and Riderman travel around to recruit the other Riders to defeat Shocker. I want to talk about it more but again, I had so much fun going "WHAT!?!" while reading it that I must resist- Might post more about them but will tag it as spoilers

Other SD stuff that I care less about, for completionist sake:

• there's a third SD manga (Kamen Rider SD: Roaring Laughs School) that I know nothing of (I think it's a 4koma gag manga? I'll be honest I'm not very interested in it so I haven't done much research);

• the most recent SD game is SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble, a game for the movie, but that one seems to be simply a side scroller so again, no interest from me;

• Lost Heroes 1 and 2 technically use chibi-ish versions of Riders, Gundams and Ultramen, and are part of the Compati Hero series (the same series as The Great Battle), but they don't have SD in the title;

•there's. sooooo many sports games in the Compati Hero series. I like the Battle Dodgeball ones :3 Also speaking of Compati Hero, special mention to Super Hero Operations because that's the next one I wanna play, I get to meet Zubat, Metalder and a bunch of others there :3

[toskarin]

I don't actually care that much for SD Gundam G Generation, but I love the original themes they wrote for Gekko dearly

I think if Gekko ever gets an anime (unlikely because the manga fucking exploded) they should keep the jazz motifs, to contrast with the original series' swashbuckling motifs

SD Gundam Gaiden Seikihei Monogatari - Chapter 1: Legendary Majin

Table of Contents

The kingdom of Dabat is under attack by the Neo Zeon Clan. If it continues, the whole country will be destroyed. A lone GM messenger is sent to Britis to ask for assistance. Knowing that Saddrac is not at peace if Dabat isn't, King II sends F91 to Dabat.

On their journey, the GM talks to F91 and Ghina about the legendary Majin known as the Holy Machine Soldier. It is believed that the Holy Machine Soldier will bring Dabat to victory. Their conversation is interrupted by various falling trees.

And the trees fell because two units from the Neo Zeon Clan's Machine Soldier Army is passing through this area. Machine Soldiers is the term for mecha in this series, and F91 feels dread about fighting them.

Meanwhile, Cecily is asking where the treasures to revive the HMS is.

With Seabook watching in secret, his father argues with Cecily and her maid, Matilda that he won't give her the treasures because Cecily is the princess from the evil Rona family bloodline. His words make her cry and then their house is destroyed by the Neo Zeon Clan.

The Machine Soldiers were there for Cecily and take her away. Seabook tries to go after her, but is stopped by his father because she is their ally. However, Seabook knows in his heart that Cecily wants nothing to do with the Neo Zeon Clan.

Meanwhile, F91 notices the Machine Soldier passing by and tells the GM to track it. Ghina then notices something on the ground. It is an earring. F91 asks what a precious earring is doing here.

Then the leaves begin to twirl.

"RETURN PRINCESS BERA!!" A mysterious knight attacks F91. This is Knight GP01, and he has come to rescue Princess Bera. He accuses F91 of being the kidnapper due to having one of her earrings in his possession.

F91 explains that he just found it over there, but GP01 isn't hearing it and the two fight. It goes as expected and they are cut off by laughing. "GP01, don't falter…that's expected if you fight a Knight of the Round at your skill level." "Huh? A Knight of the Round?!"

The second knight apologizes for the younger knight's rudeness and introduces themselves. He is Heavy Knight GP02 and the other is GP01, his squire. The duo was tasked with escorting Princess Bera and lost sight of her. Their conversation was cut off by a yell.

The GM explains that the machine soldier that kidnapped Bera headed to the Royal Family Valley. This is where the Holy Machine Soldier is, and the Neo Zeon Clan needs Bera to revive it.

GM: Huh? GP01 and GP02…when did you two get here? 01: That doesn't matter!

Dabat is toast if Neo Zeon gets the Holy Machine Soldier, so they head to the Royal Family Valley. The reason why Cecily/Princess Bera was kidnapped is because she knows the spell to awaken the Holy Machine Soldier.

To their surprise, their guard monsters are being obliterated.

Berga Giros is shocked to hear that one of the Knights of the Round Table is with the Dabat Knights and that they're able to cut through their forces so easily.

With his help, they intend to stop the Neo Zeon Clan and save Princess Bera.

[sodasa-was-taken]

I have to say, all the talk about the Japan exclusive gunpla and people not knowing about Gundam because they don't engage with anything produced outside the west have become hilarious in hindsight after the day I've had.

My journey started when I decided I wanted to find out if my local-ish comics/manga/physical media/figurines/etc. store had any gunpla. To be more specific, I was looking for a HG model kit since I'm new to all this and it seems like a good place to start. So I looked around the store and only managed to find a few anime collections(G Gundam, Seed, Seed Destiny, G-Reco, and 00) on my own.

I try to ask one of the people behind the counter if they sell anything related to Gundam. In return I received a thousand-yard stare and that's barely an exaggeration. Keep in mind this person works in a store that sells manga and anime. In fact the main manga section is located right in front of the counter. This was definitely not a case of someone being uncultured but still drew a black at the mention of Gundam. The other person behind the counter had heard of Gundam though but seemed rather exasperated all of a sudden. What I presume to be one internet search later, everyone gets on the same page. I get told to ask the person downstairs about what I'm looking for.

One trip downstairs later I walk to another counter and wait for the person operating it to return. When that happens I'm immediately asked what I'm looking for and I explain that I want to know if they have any Gundam figurines. I once again receive a black expression, though less extreme this time. After a bit of looking around I'm presented with an SD Gunpla. I try, somewhat poorly, to explain what SD is and politely decline.

So far, so absurd.

My next course of action is to look up if there're any stores that sell gunpla within the country I live in. As far as I have been able to find the only place with a decent supply of gunpla a webshop that has only been active since 2019. It's run by this one dude who went to Japan and decided to bring a couple of model kits and might now be the sole provider of gunpla in the country.

This has been the beginning of Sodasa vs gunpla. The kits I'm most interested in turned out to be more affordable than I thought so this journey of mine is most likely far from over.

Also the fact that I would've had a hard time understanding the vocabulary of the Gundam fandom just a few months ago and look at me now. You guys sure got me initiated fast.

I know it’s a long shot, but I’m looking for a piece of 90s Godzilla merch that may have been in the Godzilland artstyle, or resembling it. It was a chibi Titanosaurus, that may have been either skating on rollerblades or listening to music. It may have been a knockoff or another one of the chibi merch lines they had going in the 90’s, just thought I’d ask the Godzilland museum!

Hi! Titanosaurus sadly wasn't in anything Godzilland related as far as I know. In fact he seems to have been mostly absent in the many attempts to chibify Godzilla during the 90s. Two instances of 90s chibi Titanosaurus I can think of are on one hand the banpresto SNes games "Battle Soccer" and "Battle Baseball", wich crossover with Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Gundam. But I can't find any art of Titanosaurus related to these games, I assume you didn't mean a sprite. The soccer one got a manga but I don't know if Titanosaurus shows up.

The other instance, and my bet on what you are looking for, is this obscure manga "SD Godzilla World". You can see Titanosaurus' tubular design at 5:42 in this video:

If not, then MAYBE you misremember these "toy cards" of him?

Good luck finding him!!
