Gundam Flauros - Tumblr Posts
Alrighty, so a little more on that Gundam Belphagor. Part of the reason that I wanted to talk about all the G Generation designs is that they all occupy this weird canon state. All their bio’s say “built, deployment unknown” or “designed, maybe built” or “limited deployment to obscure front”, so they’re all basically “you can’t prove it didn’t happen” which is a nice angle.
(There are a few that are explicitly non-canon, like the monoeye gundams and things original to the games, like the Halphas, above)
But nonetheless it’s interesting seeing what’s been worked in, whether it’s an Axis Prototype that didn’t make the cut, an evil knockoff of the Victory Gundam or a whole new Gundam.
A whole new Gundam, oh my. Wouldn’t it be grand if there was a series that had “gaps” if you will, units we know existed, but don’t know anything about. Units that a brand new Gundam would fit right alongside.
I mean, there might even be a series that already fits with the gundams being named after demons from the Ars Goetia, like the Halphas and Barbatos, that’d be cool.
So yeah, I’m kinda looking forward to seeing what weird thing the next game to get original designs adds.
According to @namazuyasohonpo on twitter. In 'SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays,' during the Earth battle (not the final stand though) Shino shouts:
"I'm going drinking with Yamagi! There's no way I could ever lose!!"
They've also included a screenshot of the dialogue:
I haven't studied the game very closely but I know that the IBO content loosely follows the events of the anime and there's several Shino/Yamagi shoutouts. For example, you can unlock Yamagi only after you've unlocked Shino, so you might say they come as a set. Shino also has a different post-battle line where he thanks Yamagi for his work on Ryusei-Go:
"Yamagi, you've outdone yourself this time! The Ryusei-Go is running super smooth, thanks to you!!"
Also this line:
"I love Tekkadan, it's my falimy! I'll do whatever I can to keep it safe!!"
Ow, my heart ;_;
