THE AZNABLE BROTHERS
Back when I finished up my RG Sazabi I went and polished up/lined Nightingale!
Yeah the brown marker can turn out more subtle but should still be identifiable here.
Got a neat HGUC zone going, featuring P-Athene Wazowski (as @turbobyakuren pointed out to me, I hadn’t noticed yet what I had done) and Guntank about to get a nasty backhand.
And there’s Chara Soon’s R-Jarja yes!
Quite a cool lil Mobile Suit tbh! The Variable Shields are great but those balled shoulders are fiddly. But the bayonet Heat Rifle is so cool.
I also picked up a cool extra:
Funnel effects kit that came with the bases to [very nerve-wracking] put Nightingale into flight mode! Though it’s a bit too cramped / against the shelf to place most of the funnel launch fx on… still incredibly awesome right?

Mobile Suit Gundam: Twilight Axis
This ONA is bad. The pacing’s bad, the characters don’t get a lot of development, the conflict isn’t set up very well, and the animation is mediocre. The thing is, I don’t hate it too much. It’s a very rushed very condensed adaptation of a source material that’s probably fine.
That’s it’s main problem, it’s just a bunch of three minute shorts trying to tell a story that’s too big for it. Even then, the big retcon of the main girl having an attachment to Char and muscled out by the existence of Lalah is kind of eye-rolling. Just another character who was majorly infatuated with the Red Comet, again.
Also, the model kit situation is pretty dire. As of this writing there’s 5 kits (Tristan Gundam, Byarlant Isolde, Birnam Jegan, Zaku III, and R-Jarja) and only 1 is a regular release. It’s also infamously bad, being a reuse of the old Gundam Alex kit (about 13 years old at the time of release) and keeping so much of the old engineering. The other kits aren’t too great either, perhaps the R-Jarja being the one that’s the best.
There are some things I did like though. I do like how the main Gundam is the antagonist’s suit. The fight between the Gundam and Byarlant vs the Zaku III was a legitimately fun fight. And the finale utilizes Newtype powers in a way that calls back really nicely to Char’s Counterattack and really works with the core concept of empathy rather than psychic super soldier powers.
-3/10

ohh pls tell me abt pls tell me abt Namba and/or Sorrel
Namba was my first DnD character ever-I wanted her to be a tiefling bc sexy and a druid because I’d just gotten into Critical Role and I was head over heels for Keyleth. I never got to play her a lot, the first time I tried to play was difficult because the internet in my house at the time was a fucking joke and I kept getting disconnected, and I was very upset about it. However the party I was playing with were all good sports and just joked saying Namba had fallen asleep and they were carrying her around in a cart. They laughed it off and said they hoped we could play together again, although I never did because Anxiety(tm).
She’s a giant lesbian and has a lot of human blood in her, although she doesn’t know her parents, so she is pretty human in appearance besides the horns.
Sorrel is one of my 2 Gundam Universal Century OCs, I made her specifically for Unicorn, as a girlfriend for Marida Cruz, because I’m like that. This one is also a buff lesbian without a single functional braincell inside her skull. If you look into Sorrel’s eyes there’s nothing but air and love and respect for women, you can just see the back of her skull. She is the youngest of a SHITLOAD of siblings and the whole family has been part of the military for ages. Sorrel pilots a customized R-Jarja.

Zilkhstan Info Dump
Eyebrows-kun is handsome and voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki, so naturally I will post stuff about him and his heckin’ country from the pamphlets. There might be some spoilers for the movie, so this is behind a read more.
Please note in advance that the only names I found spellings for on merchandise were Chalio, Chamna and Shesthaal, so all other names are complete bullshit / guess work.
Edit: Okay uhhhh I’ve updated this to use spellings from Funimation’s subtitles instead, which were seen at the Madman Anime Festival in Sydney.
Zilkhstan, the Country of Warriors
Zilkhstan, called the country of warriors, is a country with strong military power that has fended off invasion from all other major super powers since the founding of the country. There was a time when a handful of Zilkh soldiers could defeat the Britannian army.
The majority of the country is desert resting between sea and cliffs. As Zilkhstan is scarce in natural resources, their #1 exported commodity is their own soldiers. All over the world, Zilkh soldiers are hired as mercenaries. Should the seaside capital Gralbahd ever be under attack or invasion, 12,000 soldiers will stand armed to defend it.
The temple stands amidst the clusters of modern buildings in Gralbahd. Since Zilkhstan’s founding, the Geass Cult has supported the country from behind the scenes. There are systems to enter to Cs’ World called the Gates of Alam located throughout the country. One is located under the Great Prison of Sorrow on the Gimsurat Flats.
The siblings Shamna and Shalio rule Zilkhstan together. Shamna is in charge of politics and religion. Shalio is in charge of the military.
Characters
Shamna (CV: Keiko Toda)
The Queen of Zilkhstan. Shalio’s older sister. She influences Zilkh politics with her prophecies. She pities her little brother who carries the weight of Zilkhstan on his fragile shoulders. (The movie pamphlet most definitely says “Queen” / 女王, but other info, such as the Geass website and Shestal’s bio, call her a priestess)
2nd bio: ....... In order to improve the circumstances for her younger brother who is disabled and carries a heavy burden, Shamna wishes to remake the world of man. Indeed, it is for Shalio’s sake that she tries to activate the Gate of Alam in the temple in the capital. (The 1st part of her other bio was same-ish as the above bio.)
Shalio (CV: Ayumu Murase)
The King of Zilkhstan. Shamna’s little brother. Even though he’s disabled, he’s very talented at piloting his KMF, the Nagid Shu Mane.
Bolvona Forgnar (CV: Akio Ohtsuka)
The commander-in-chief of Zilkhstan. He was nicknamed “The [Bronzed/Sun-kissed] Rampart” for his defense of an impregnable fortress.
Shesthaal Forgnar (CV: Nobunaga Shimazaki)
Captain of Priestess Shamna’s elite guard. Cmdr. Folgner’s son. He has pride in his country.
Belq Batoum Bitool (CV: Wataru Takagi)
The warden of a large prison. He’s rowdy and loves to pick a fight. Used to be a bandit.
Swaile Qujappat (CV: Kenjiro Tsuda)
Leads a team of assassins. A cruel person who used to be with the Geass Cult.
The Capital City, Gralbahd
90% of the country is desert and wasteland. The capital is Gralbahd. The center piece of the city located between the groups of buildings is the temple, which towers over the densely populated areas on both sides of it. The imperial palace is located on the water, opposite the temple. The two are connected by bridges so you don’t need to use a ship to travel from one to another. Behind the temple is a 1000m tall cliff.
Location
Based on a map that’s shown during the movie, Zilkhstan is fictionally located around this area of Pakistan and India.
Tradition
"Namjala latak” is like their country’s equivalent of “Yes, my Lord”. They always say it with 1 hand over an eye when in response to a order/command given from someone. Even the prisoners/etc people that Lelouch geasses say it in response to his orders.
They also do the hands over eyes motion without saying namjala latak when facing/turning towards the nobility so they don’t look directly at them with their third eye. (Source) You see Shesthaal do this when he appears in Shamna’s temple and turns to face her.
Knightmare Frames
Nagid Shu Mane (Chalio’s KMF)
Shalio’s personal KMF. It has improved mobility due to the float system being attached to each part of the main body. It does successive attacks while disorienting opponents with its high speed. In addition to shooting things with an assault rifle, it also has a sword that can take on different shapes.
Another scan mentions that it has 2 hidden arms for a total of 4.
Batalalan Du (Bitool’s KMF from the 2nd half)
Bitool’s favorite. It is clad in extremely strong armor that allows it to shrug off enemy attacks. It can transform from its default crab form into a scorpion form. Has 6 harkens, 1 per leg. Can constrict opponents movement with its super electromagnetic field that expands from the [hands/claws].
The trailers don’t have scenes with this one, so uhh lineart it is.
??? (Cmdr. Folgner’s KMF)
This is the Commander in Chief’s KMF that he uses against Cornelia, but I have no idea what the name of it is.
Jarja Vakka (Shestal’s KMF)
Nothing on the website or the pamphlet about it.
(I took the Jarja spelling from the R-Jarja of ZZ Gundam, of which it shares a red horn and the jyajya katakana with.)
Ghedo Vakka (mass produced mook unit)
A mass produced KMF used by the Zilkhstan army. The machine is operated by wearing special goggles that allows the operator to see enemies and the environment in augmented reality. The cannon barrels have great range/mobility (I’m not good w/technical translations lol) which is also useful for artillery bombardments. Each side of each leg has a machine gun. When the unit is on standby, the legs can fold up into a more compact form. The cockpit hatch is located in-between the 2 shoulder cannons.
That this post didn’t end up just being a million pictures of Eyebrows-kun is honestly a bit amazing.
