Ngl comparing powerups in getter robo to any other mecha show is hilarious.

Gurren lagan: Due to the power of the human spirit and this spaceship we just hijacked. We have become stronger both physically and as people.

Getter robo:

Why is it looking at me.

So, since getting into mecha more than I used to (thanks again Witch from Mercury), I've learned that the trio of anime dudes grinning like unhinged gargoyles are the OG Getter Robo team (Hayato, Musashi, and Ryoma, pictured below).

I can see why it's been popular for memes and fan art (there's even one featuring Miorine Rembran, Suletta Mercury, and Chuatury Panlunch in these poses), but having just watched Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo, I'd like to voice my appreciation of the Go Team's version in the first picture, being both a callback to their predecessors while also distinguished from them.

(I particularly like that, while I don't know yet know how well Getter Robo in general handles its female cast, at the very least Sho Tachibana's expression here is just as unhinged as her male peers' [Gai Daido and Go Ichimonji], and while I appreciate that's not a very high bar to clear, it's still better than too many media ever do).

arc was obvs designed to be an update on the getter line -- sexier, edgy, more bells and whistles, however it is still more normal looking than shin
