[Mobile Fighter G Gundam] Shining has elements of kabuki, but I feel like it’s a bit hard to notice unless you’re told… its kabuki elements.

Otaku Review Image

Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:22Yeahx1

While other countries have motifs that are very easy to understand at a glance… like cows, bones, and windmills.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:25Yeahx2

Shining Finger is a kabuki pose, so you can understand if you watch the anime.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:27

If it’s obviously wrapped in ropes, it won’t become popular, right?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:27Yeahx11

It just looks like a palm strike or an iron claw, shining finger!

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:26

>>3That’s true; I was thinking about a more visually appealing way to destroy the head than with a punch, and what I came up with was the crushing grip, as Imamura stated in an interview with B Club.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:30

The Yamato Gundam surprisingly feels like “Yamato,” probably because of the colors and the skirt part giving off a Yamato vibe.
Is God… like a halo?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:30Yeahx11

Your face is turning red.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:52Yeahx5

>>7The creepiness of Gundam fans who say it looks that way because they’ve been told so really stands out.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:55

>>122I feel like it’s the bad kind of otaku who tries to attack even though it’s fine to just not understand or not see it that way.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:31Yeahx4

It’s packed with too many elements like kabuki, the two swords at the waist, and a haori-like shoulder, almost like a Maxstar.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:35

>>8The shape is not as direct compared to others (it has some arrangements), so it might be surprisingly hard to understand?
In other countries, I feel that Bolt and Spiegel might be a bit hard to understand aside from their heads.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:33Yeahx4

Actually, I think face open is a little creepy.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:34

If you don’t know Kabuki, it won’t resonate with you.
The head of the super mode is just like the Kabuki play “Zan,” but only old men know about it.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:35

Blue doesn’t really have an image in Japan.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:45

>>12Many robots in Japan are blue.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:47

>>29The first blue robot that came to mind was Doraemon…

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:35Yeahx2

Gundam is good because it is Japan itself.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:36Yeahx3

The name Matador Gundam and the cow head design are just weird, right?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:38Yeahx3

It’s a world where pointing out the weirdness would go on endlessly, so I’m going to stop.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:45

>>17(Huh? Is Hong Kong a country?)

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:46

>>26Huh? It’s a great country that defeated Britain and gained sovereignty, isn’t it?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:39

I quite like the Statue of Liberty cannon.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:41

What was the Russian element of Bolt Gundam again… oh, I looked it up and that thing on its head is a Cossack hat.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:42

What is this crab Gundam!?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:43Yeahx1

Well, it would be easy to understand if the SE went “pom pom”…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:47

>>21It’s often misunderstood, but that’s a talent.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:49

>>33Oh no!

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:43

The biggest problem is the arrogance of naming it “God” even though everyone is using names based on their own country motifs.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:44

>>22Even if you call it Burning Gundam, where is the Japanese element?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:01

>>24There aren’t many techniques that are on fire, God.
The technique called Burning God Buster is exactly what it sounds like.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:03

>>47The backnet is becoming erupting, so it might be a reverse calculation from there.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:44

>>22Tequila Gundam is the name of a drink… Well, it’s a cactus liquor, so I guess I can understand that!

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:45

>>22Do you want to give feedback?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:49

>>22The original scheduled representative machine is Ultimate, Ultimate.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:51Yeahx3

>>39I equipped the Gundam Fight machine with an environment regeneration function.
It’s more like abuse of power.
Well, I guess I’ll get scolded.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:43Yeahx1

I understand that there’s some restraint being shown, but I also think that such intense qualities don’t necessarily need to be portrayed by the main character.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:45

The name “Rising Gundam” is quite good.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:46

>>28The reason for bringing that in is probably not for Gundam Fight, so would it be classified as a military MF?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:46

A Scud Gundam from a certain Middle Eastern country…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:46

There are quite a few blue large armors.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:48

It might be said that casually attaching the word “god” is, conversely, typical of Japan.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:49

>>35It doesn’t seem like they’re that great since there are eight million of them.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:56

>>38It seems that “Yaorozu” refers to the eight million.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:48

Japanese people do not know Japan.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:51

Burning Gundam

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:52Yeahx1

The Zeus Gundam also has a very high arrogance rating.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)15:55

What kind of idea is it to dress Nobel in a sailor uniform?

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:03

>>43The sailor outfit worn by sailors is actually one of the easier things to understand when you think about the reasons behind it…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:08

>>49Why did you make the sailor wear a mini skirt…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:00

The jacket illustration card that was included in the soundtrack at that time.
There was a Shining with a Kabuki-style coloring drawn by Okawara.
I wonder where I can see that now.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:01Yeahx2

I’m sure there are special awards for elements reflecting national motifs.
I can’t help but think that there are countries aiming for that and others that aren’t.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:07

I wonder which country would have the highest difficulty level in a quiz based solely on appearances?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:09Yeahx1

>>50Master Gundam

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:11

>>50This is the Jester Gundam.
It’s a quirky item that anyone can immediately recognize as a G-type motif.
Now, here’s a quiz: Which country is this aircraft from?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:28

>>50It’s a reader submission or a contest piece, so it can’t be helped, but the Skull Gundam is quite difficult.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:08

Maybe there is something from Japan that became super famous with that red, white, and blue coloring.
In the G-Gundam world, that tricolor would probably evoke “Japan!” and lead to drinking symptoms.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:11

I’m thinking I want the RG Shining, but I don’t have any information about the core lander, and I’m getting scared that it might not come off.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:13

There are no Japanese elements, but if it’s Burning Gundam, then it’s a Neo Japan-produced mechanical fighter.
Shining
Rising
I don’t dislike that Burning fits nicely with three.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:15

In the first place, it’s strange that every country has an English name.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:17

>>57Spiegel…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:17

>>57Actually, Samurai Gundam is participating in Gundam.
My country of origin is Neo Palau.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:18

>>60The tournament has boiled down too much; that motif is from our country!
It has turned into a situation like that…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:58

>>63Palau is a friendly nation with Japan, and of course, there is a state where Japanese is an official language.
It may be the pressure from the author of the spin-off manga, which you might already know…
In reality, it’s probably Motohiro Nakagawa that’s the motif.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:18

>>57Mandala Gundam…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:18

>>57Shenlong Gundam…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:20Yeahx2

>>62You’re W, right!

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:29

>>57Is Gundam in English too? That’s why…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:19

The God Gundam is more on the Buddha-like side, isn’t it?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:19

It’s the shoulder and the ceremonial jacket, right?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:19

Master Gundam! I understand.
Grand Gundam! I understand.
Walter Gundam! …Huh?
Gundam Heaven’s Sword! …???
When combined, it’s the Grand Master Gundam!
Isn’t something strange?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:19

RG God was normally made, and there is space to insert on the back in the upper body structural diagram of the product page.
Maybe it’s okay, Korander… It’s scary that there’s no explanation, though.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:21

It probably refers to the Anti-Devil Gundam or Counter Devil Gundam, meaning “God” or something like that…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:22

Even though Spiegel is stylishly put together, when you say Germany, it somehow has a German-like design…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:23

>>70The problem with Neo-Germany is not the Spiegel design, but rather the German ninja techniques…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:22

It’s packed with enthusiasm as the first Gundam not set in the Universal Century, all the way from the design to the world setting.
They’re all thinking while missing a few screws.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:23

Spiegel is black and the helmet is Germany… Germany?

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:27

>>73Isn’t it a black helmet and coat?
It seems that when the real Schwarz was riding, he had a long coat and also carried a coffin shield gatling.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:29

>>79What is that Gundam that looks like it could come out of Trigun… It’s definitely cool, right?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:32

>>83


It’s cool that there are other offensive strategies besides ninjutsu.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:24

Since I can use German Ninja techniques, it enhances the German element even more.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:25

Is Master Asia supposed to be Japanese?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:25

>>75It’s a trendy name called Shuji.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:30

>>76Is that why such a thing happened? Because I can hear the voice of Gundam?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:31

>>88“Cleanse the Earth… says the (Devil) Gundam.”
But listen, Domon!!!!

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:29

>>75It’s official, but if you ask Imagawa, they might just say, “No, I’m actually from Neo Hong Kong” as if it were totally normal.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:26

German soldier’s helmet and coat.
The German specialty Solingen folding knife is packed with features.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:28

It’s well known that the ninjutsu that was exchanged with Germany during World War II evolved uniquely into German ninjutsu.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:29

When it comes to Sweden, it’s Sailor Moon, right?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:31

>>84That Gundam seems to have some Swedish elements in its rhythmic gymnastics.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:29Yeahx1

Look at Schwarz’s head.
It clearly looks like Germany.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:30

>>85When you think about it, that guy is firmly in the traditional Gundam mask role, and it’s like he’s really embodying Gundam, which is starting to make my head spin.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:32

>>89I feel like it’s somewhat rare that the protagonist’s brother (technically a dummy) is also like that.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:34

>>94It feels like a lineage of Kinnikuman Soldier.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:39

>>85The real Schwalz was wearing that mask too?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:49Yeahx1

>>109Yes.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:29

I like Pharaoh Gundam because its motif is easy to understand and looks cool… it’s become a zombie.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:31

Mermaids are strong in underwater combat, and that makes sense.
But in the Gundam Fight, there are also land battles, so that guy is probably quite strong on land as well.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:35

>>91Ultimately, even though they become bubbles, mermaids are creatures that come ashore.
There is no reason not to consider battles on land.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:33

“Let’s create zombie soldiers with civilians from Shinjuku… as Gundam is saying (shifting responsibility)”

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:33

Once you’ve become a Neo-German woman, you need to wear that mask.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:34

It’s amazing how just fists aren’t enough; you have to express it in words for it to get through, just like in Gundam.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:36

>>98Well, when it comes to Rain, you can’t understand each other just with fists.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:37

>>104I achieved a great victory by taking down Walter with Rising, but Rain still isn’t a fighter.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:35

Isn’t it bad that in Germany, once you put on a mask, you can’t tell who anyone is?

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:35

>>100I suppose I’ll accept it because it’s really strong…

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:35

>>100I know, but if I push too hard, my country will be defeated…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:36

>>100In other words, it means that even if there are injuries or accidents, it is easy to substitute someone…!

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:39

>>105In fact, there are no provisions in international treaties or other rules that mention player substitutions, so there is no problem.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:40

>>110Even if you manage to stay in the competition despite ordinary injuries, it seems like the pilot could become unable to operate the aircraft.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:41

>>110Domon also seemed like he was going to be dropped.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:50

>>113That seems to be involved in a different international treaty from the beginning.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:35Yeahx1

>>16Thanks to that Gundam, I…
I just found out that the Little Mermaid was a story created in Denmark…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:37

If we lose to Neo-Russia
Oshiroshia…

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:37Yeahx2

Since NTs are also humanity, if NTs only understand each other in the NT space and exchange words, it sounds very Gundam.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:40

Understanding each other through fists is really Gundam, with Domon being deeply committed to this like an all-purpose dialogue technique from the middle to the final part.
In that sense, Allenby is also a properly strong enhanced human-type heroine.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:43

Rain said, “I’m not a fighter…”
I have always been concerned that I can’t truly understand Domon and that I can’t be like Allenby or Chibodee.
Conversely, you’re the only one who can be close to Domon as someone who isn’t a fighter.
You can be more confident.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:45

Spiegel takes elements and stylishly incorporates German flavor into them.
This view of Germany is the negative Germany, isn’t it…?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:48Yeahx1

It’s not a guard corps, it’s the cloak of the national defense army, so it’s not necessarily a negative thing.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:49

It seems there are Neo-England and perhaps Neo-Scotland as well.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:51

The real Schwartz’s face was also featured in the super class, right?

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:53Yeahx1

When it comes to Kabuki, I don’t particularly have an image of it making my face swell like this.
When it comes to Kabuki, I don’t particularly have an image of it making my face swell like this.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)16:59

Which country is the Scud Gundam from?

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:00

>>126Considering the situation at that time…

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:02Yeahx1

>>126It appears even in the super class, but it’s written as “Neo Middle Eastern Certain Country” and thoroughly obscured.
Well, I should have written Neo Iraq for the Newtype at the time of the anime… A certain country in the Middle East! It’s a certain country in the Middle East!!

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:01

Speaking of being gentle, it seems like I once wore something like a kimono with a sash.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:01

I want to see the Riki Gundam.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:02

>>129The makeup mawashi seems to really stand out with Gundam.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:06

>>129When it comes to Japan, it’s sumo.
This is common knowledge.
>>129When it comes to Japan, it's sumo.This is common knowledge.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:04

Neo-Israel’s Koran Gundam!?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:05

The Scud Gundam is so isolated that not even a single concept illustration has been released.
It comes out normally in super, so it’s hard to understand the position.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:07

Due to the rider, it’s easy to end up striking a pose reminiscent of the Chinese Constitution, which makes characters like God feel even more nationality-ambiguous.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:10

Well, naming it simply “God” is indeed very Japanese.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:10

>>136It looks like a Buddha statue, yet…

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:17

>>136It’s not a specific god or a unique god, just a general “God”…

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)17:22

The original is the July 1994 issue of Newtype.
It’s not Neo-Iraq, but about the Scud Gundam.
It was just written as “archenemy Iraq Gundam,” sorry about that.
The original is the July 1994 issue of Newtype.It's not Neo-Iraq, but about the Scud Gundam.It was j...

Sure, here is the extracted text: “`GUNDAM FIGHTER is equipped with two vacuum hume cannons on both arms, known as the Galactic Magnum, but it does not often use this. It has won in gym fights with powerful techniques. It managed to defeat the Devil Gundam in a drawing. Cyclone Hang, and is skilled in the long foot punch and other techniques. Using a rhythm-based combat strategy, Domon caught a clue of the Devil Gundam and was able to defeat the Devil Gundam just like in the Prai world, with a modeled concept from Neo Hong Gui, and Cyclone Punch.“`
