Huh. So I had a think about this a while ago, with an eye towards putting together a Model Display, but what Gundam Frames look like they did in the calamity war? So if you were gonna put together a display of Calamity-War Era Gundam Frames, what would it look like?
Though this list is mostly focused on Gundam Frames, since they’re the ones we know the most about about in relation to the calamity war, I would like to quickly call out the the base Hugo is explicitly stated as being a thing during the Calamity war, if you wanted some grunts to back up your gundam’s.
Also, as of writing I haven’t seen any of Urdr Hunt, and I’m working mostly of what’s stated in the model kit manuals for suits from those. So if someone offhandedly mentions the calamity war in that, I don’t know about it.
Known - suits that we explicitly know to have existed as they are now during the calamity war.
Bael - piloted by Agnika Kaieru during the calamity war, presumably the first deployed, with Mcgillis explicitly restoring it for his coup.
Flauros (Calamity War Ver.) - explicitly is as it appeared in the calamity war.
Kimaris Vidar - The only version of Kimaris stated to have existed since the calamity war. It’s possible the others did as well, but I can’t say for certain.
Asmoday/Asmodeus - explicitly called out as being the same as it was in the calamity war, and the suit that prompted this whole thought experiment.
Marchosias - explicitly as it was in the calamity war.
Possible - Suits that you could make the argument they look the same as they did in the calamity war, but not explicitly known.
Astaroth Origin - I assume so? Due to the name “origin” and presence of Nanolamiate sword? But honestly it’s only stated that the Warren family recovered it, so they could’ve done some restoration work in the interim. Hence me hedging my bets and putting it here.
Barbatos (1st form) - I’m assuming it’s appearance in the first episode is how it was excavated, I don’t think Maruba would armour it if he was just gonna use it as a generator, and Gundam frames are impressive enough I don’t think he would for a buyer either.
Dantalion - It’s design can’t have changed much since the calamity war, since it’s build around utilising such a wide variety of optional equipment. Another one I’m just uncertain enough about to put here.
Gremory - As with Dantalion, we know it’s design can’t have changed much since it’s built around the Nanolaminate Coat and Battle Anchor. Though you might choose to restore the battle anchor, I don’t think it’s strictly necessary. Another example of me hedging my bets.
No - suits that we explicitly know looked different during the calamity war
Gusion - recovered by the Brewers and armoured with what they had available, ditto when Tekkadan armoured the Gusion Rebake. All we know is that it probably had long-range weaponry (Dainsleif?).
Vual - Recovered by Rosario Leone armourless, later armoured by him and Ville Klassen.
Honestly most of the ones under Possible I’m confident enough about, I just can’t find anything that makes it explicit that they haven’t changed since the Calamity War. I reckon the Astaroth Origin (minus the Warren family markings) and Gremory’d for right in though.
Apparently, the head writer of IBO decided to let Gaelio survive to the end of the show because his VA did such a good job at making him sound somewhat kind that she felt compelled to explore his character more. How do you pull off making a man sound too babygirl to be killed. 🌺
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 ;_;
A part of me really wants the next Gundam AU to have a fantasy setting.
Like, they’ve already made a bunch of designs that are just crying out for a fantasy aesthetic - Grazes and Reginlazes look like Knights, and I’ve always found the Barbatos Lupus to have a wizard vibe. I’m obviously biased in favour of Iron Blooded Orphans here, but Zeta and Reconguista in G both have a ton of units that look just as appropriate for a kings court as they do to a spaceship dock. Heck, we just had a series that focuses around the concept of Witches. It’s not like it’d be much of a leap either, between quantum brainwaves, newtypes and GUND-format machines present in other series.
But then another part of me’s just like “Yeah, but Aura Battler Dunbine and The Vision of Escaflowne haven’t gone anywhere, and they are very good fantasy mech settings.”
So I think what I really want is just for the military-industrial complex to be represented by WIZARDS.
Where do I buy ibo merch
I recently went to an anime store and the woman there gave me grief about the " iron blooded orphans" merch saying that it wasn't " a real anime because she'd never heard of it"then she checked the computer and found three things and said that that was all funimation made and there were no other merchandise. When I tried to tell her yes she said that " I needed to tell her the company's name so she could report them" when I told her it was funimation she said it wasn't possible because she was friends with them and had never heard of it. So was this woman dumb or are there really merch, cause I want a mika and orga figure.
