Otaku Review Image

Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu

Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:41Yeahx1

It’s great how the final battle was concluded with an unexpected strike using an initial finishing move instead of the highly anticipated ultimate technique.
I hate that tomorrow is the last episode!

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:45Yeahx1

I won’t use it until the very end.
Moreover, I think it’s a rare development where it’s not just about defeating the opponent.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:46Yeahx5

King Dalrius the 17th is such an impressive name…
King Darius XVII is incredibly strong…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:47Yeahx2

>>2It’s crazy that I was winning with great power until the end.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:52Yeahx2

>>2Father is dead, so this guy is King Darius the 18th!!!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:47

Great is 10 times and face open is 4 times, so the total is 40 times.
King Darius that surpasses that.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:49

It was my first time seeing it, but this is everything for us! I cried!
From over there, the face-open “The Great” Proist has really endured well.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:50Yeahx1

>>5Closed face!

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:50

I prefer Dvořák as an enemy robot.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:54Yeahx2

>>6The impact of the old Gaiking’s face becoming the enemy boss is really impressive.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:51

I thought it was quite an impressive body shape, and then the upper body just turned into a head…

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:52Yeahx2

This time, I couldn’t avoid the Gigapuncher Grind properly.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:53

I liked the increasing number of familiar names in the animation credits.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:55Yeahx2

It’s nice to do a homage to old works at the end…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:56Yeahx2

Since around episode 2, Dia’s battle sense has been incredible.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:57Yeahx5

The superweapon head looks like a villain, huh! Yeah!

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:21

>>16So, even before LOD, was there a power-up for the main robot? I’ve been thinking about this for a while…
Well, that certainly leads to terrible treatment in the Akira Oze version.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:58

Great is only used three times.
I’ll only use the face open one last time.
Moreover, the face open does not conclude with a flourish.
I think it’s an incredibly stylish production for a super robot.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:59Yeahx2

In the Northern battle, it was a decisive finish with a follow-up punch from the True Dragon Hydro Blazer, and I really like that about Gaiking LOD.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)23:59Yeahx1

I’ve watched it since it aired, but the pro at the end is just too crazy…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:01Yeahx7

>>19There’s nothing more important than the peace of my heart!

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:45

>>19I feel like I was crazy from the very beginning…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:01

Darius is winning in power, but the great damage was only from his own open charge, so the difference in capability is not that significant.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:03

If there hadn’t been any broadcast extensions with Norza or Lee, would it have ended without much happening?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:04

>>23I think Kane died carelessly.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:03

I really didn’t think they would actually go full throttle into Kingdom Rius with a face open like that in the OP.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:05Yeahx1

The Northern Five Knights, which obviously feels like they’ll all exit roughly, somehow survive and become important positions, right? That’s a lie, isn’t it…?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:10

>>26It probably wasn’t packed properly.
Although I somehow survived, I didn’t let the sky dragon, known as the rampaging beast of the magic dragon, go berserk…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:06

Is the pro really a Darius person?
I have wings.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:07

>>27Darius and Proko are not human, right?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:08Yeahx2

The Northern Five Nights takes everyone’s names from the script, and it is a slot based on a casual exit, where Kane surviving is a product of the live atmosphere.
By the way, the first one to die was Sanjo Riku = Rick.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:09Yeahx1

Despite only having three appearances, Gaiking the Great left such a strong impact… that’s impressive.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:11Yeahx2

Now the big emperor, who gave off a strong final boss vibe at the end of the OP, just looks like a failed parent emperor…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:12Yeahx1

I wish the cute subordinate of Vestanu could ride the Earth Dragon too…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:36

>>33So I put it in Super Robot Wars like this.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:38

>>33It seems there was an idea to come to the rescue in the final battle, but it couldn’t be included.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:13Yeahx2

It’s crazy how Great’s overwhelming special move was quite easily countered.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:13Yeahx3

There’s nothing more important than the peace of my heart! That’s such a memorable quote.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:14Yeahx1

Using “Great” in the first place is quite a serious situation.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:14

Having been thwarted by this trump card and bound, I am in a desperate situation.
Closed face → separation → reunification → executing Hydro Blazer in an instant judgment is too much like a child of battle.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:15

It was really great to see Noza team up with Dick Puglia and the Great Sky Dragon team all at once.
I think you haven’t talked to Lee the most, have you?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:15

I thought Norza wouldn’t ride in the Liking, but it seems that he really has to settle things with Proist…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:16Yeahx1

Even though he is a scientist from Earth, Professor Sakon is too much like a god of wisdom.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:17

I can hear Akira’s voice.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:18Yeahx4

I thought about it again, and Vesta-nee is definitely great…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:22Yeahx2

>>42It’s become a female! It’s become a female!

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:18Yeahx4

I'm so jealous of Lee.
I’m so jealous of Lee.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:22Yeahx4

I was worried about how Haruna Ikezawa’s throat was holding up during her crazy performance.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:33

>>46Are there any other types of Haruna Ikeda like this?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:35Yeahx2

>>63Keroro’s Momoka or something?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:36Yeahx2

>>63Roboga’s Dobochin

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:45

>>46I’m safe because I’m recovering with a pink hippo.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:22

Wasn’t Sanshiro also a baseball character?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:26Yeahx1

>>47Former professional baseball player

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:24Yeahx1

To be honest, I feel that it would have been good if the insert song was also by Psychic Lover.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:24Yeahx3

I’ve lost one now! After experiencing pain, I returned to gracefully dodge with a backflip, a professionalist.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:25Yeahx2

Rii-san is already being bossed around.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:26Yeahx6

Lee’s self-destructive attack, don’t slap and call it stupid! Just don’t cry or anything.
You have that kind of side to you… it’s nice that you’re smiling in anticipation, Vestane.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:27

I just finished watching The Great’s debut episode, and if they hadn’t made the ending a continuation, wouldn’t it have been fine as a series finale?
Is it going to get even more exciting from here?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:28

>>53The conversation gets exciting, but I think the peak of Great’s excitement is at the beginning.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:29

>>53It’s still going strong, so keep watching!

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:28

Then, Vestanu’s older sister went to Lee’s place by herself.
I fired the rocket launcher and completely shattered the joint of the bulking.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:30Yeahx1

The debut of Great brings overwhelming catharsis after a continuous series of defeats.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:30

In the very end, they even show the breaking of the helmet instead of just the mask breaking.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:30Yeahx1

I think that the first appearance of Great is packed with too much development, so I believe that’s the peak.
But episode 38 is also awesome.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:31Yeahx1

The peak of Gaiking’s combat is this time.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:31

It was no good when the ranking stood still and got hit.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:32Yeahx2

Ah, so today was all about being fired up for everyone! That’s the best!

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:36Yeahx3

Haruna Ikezawa wants to try playing a villain soon, and this is almost her first challenge, so it’s strange…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:36Yeahx2

It’s amazing that even though Proist has been carrying everything by themselves since the end of the second season, it doesn’t feel at all tedious.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:47

>>68I’ve never seen someone embody the idea that they’re so strong they could be enough on their own.
But it’s nice that Darius perished mainly because of the proists.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:37

I’ve been wanting to use LOD in Super Robot Wars, but the only one with a proper scenario is K…

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:41

>>69I seriously recommend L.
It’s not the main role like K, but the treatment is good, and the effects of the True Dragon Hydro Blazer have improved a lot in L.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:37

The Great’s face open, which I didn’t use at all after three sorties, is way too cool.
On top of that, the coolest closed face.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:40

There are various elements that got left out for the sake of time constraints…
Bulking Battle Tank Mode and Perfect Sky Dragon.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:41Yeahx2

It’s not just the subordinates, but Kyoko-chan also seems to be a character exclusively for the Idol Hell arc.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:48

>>73Kyoko-chan appears briefly in episode 30.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:41Yeahx2

It’s said that people overly rely on Professor Sacon to criticize K’s scenario, but since he’s the god of wisdom, it’s okay if he can do anything, right…?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:42

When I rewatched the first face-open fight against Noza, it gives me chills…
The direction is at a crazy level, it’s amazing.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:43

Teacher Sakon can do anything except for having a sense of style, which is impressive.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:44

Finally, it’s nice to return to the normal Gaiking with a closed face for the finishing blow.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:46

Kaneda’s artwork of the face open is extremely cool…

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:46

How dare you treat my father like that!!

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:46

It feels like all the action that was supposed to be in separate episodes has been crammed into one…!

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:50

It’s good that Gaiking can separate even when Great is holding both of its arms, utilizing its combination mechanism since it’s only the head part.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:51

I think I understand why people were saying “Vesta Nu Vesta Nu” in the threads when the streaming started…

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:52Yeahx2

There hasn’t been any mention of Shizuka-san until now.
Hidden-eyes characters are great, aren’t they…

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:59Yeahx3

>>88I think the brief glimpse of the butt line at the beginning of the second half opening is wonderful.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:53

Vestanu is what you might call stubborn or a bit of a brute, yet the fact that they are completely devoted to the person they love is really great…
The downside is that I can’t get off if Lee is the one playing the role.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:54

I can’t believe I’m going to lay my hands on my father… I’ll kill you… I’ll kill you, worthless scum of the earth.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:56

>>90It’s so extreme that everyone is left speechless and can’t say anything; it’s terrible.
The mop won’t even give you a comeback like “What the hell…!”

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:56

Teacher Sacon, take responsibility and hold Shizuka-san quickly.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/03(Tue)00:57Yeahx3

>>92Mr. Sacon is well-suited for reverse rape.
