G Gundam side story English translation, Ch. 3 part 3

(end of chapter 3!)

(start from beginning/original post) | (read previous part)

Everyone is watching the Shuffle’s battles.

Rain: “The Dark Shuffle……… what opponents they are……… Not just Lone Fox Seeking Defeat, but all of them are the strongest Shuffle in history!!”

Rain is becoming astounded, and suddenly she realizes.

Rain: “But, all of them……… No one is giving up………”

Rain looks to the Shuffle crew.

All of the crew members are intensely watching their respective battles.

Rain: “Why………??”

Rain watches with wonder. Then, the other fighters get out of their gundams and approach the Shuffle crew.

Siejima: “Hey! What’s going on?! It doesn’t look like they’re winning at all!!”

Rutger: “Look!! The corner post has started to enter into the atmostphere!!”

Above Neo Hong Kong, the corner post is parting the sea of clouds as it descends from the atmosphere.

Eric: “At this rate, Neo Hong Kong will be obliterated.”

Carlos: “The Shuffle Alliance is nothing but a name!!”

Siejima: “At least do something about this barrier! And then we’ll crush those Dark guys ourselves!”

Sijiema and company blame them.

Nastasha: “Be quiet!! Onlookers just shut up and watch!!”

Nastasha stands up to them, acting as a shield to Bunny and the others.

Sijiema: “Saying something like that, how can you feel so confident watching those doomed fights?!!”

Nastasha: “Hmph! You lot are cowards! Can’t you at least sit patient like Neo Italy and the rest over there?!”

Nastasha points at Michelo, on the Neros Gundam’s hand.

Michelo: “Haha! As for me, if it comes down to it I’ll just tag along with Master East! Right, Master?!”

Michelo calmly calls out to Undefeated of the East.

Undefeated of the East: “……… Hmph………”

Undefeated of the East ignores him with a dismissive air.

Michelo: “I’m shocked……… Well, well then maaaaybe I can count on Chapman??”

Michelo edges closer to Chapman.

Chapman: “!”

Chapman silently returns to his gundam’s cockpit.

Michelo: “Whaaaat, well then, I’ll prepare to escape on my own too!”

Shoulders slumped, Michelo hastily returns to his gundam.

Sijiema: “Ugh! Every single one of you is so unreliable!”

Sijiema trash talks them. Approaching from behind without a sound, Schwarz puts an arm around his neck.

Schwarz: “In that case, I think it’s best for you to stay quiet here.”

In his hand he’s holding a kunai.

Sijiema: “Ah……… Ahh……… I’ll do that for you……… Everyone, let’s go.”

Eric and the others: “Let’s do that………”

Sijiema and company head back toward their gundams in fear.

Nastasha: “Thanks for that, Schwarz.”

Schwarz: “Don’t mention it……… However, the Shuffle battle situation is now getting out of hand.”

Nastasha: “It’s certainly dire………”

Rain: “So then, as it stands are we unable to do anything………??”

Rain is disconcerted.

Shirley: “No……… Actually, we have what you’d call a secret weapon.”

Rain: “A secret weapon??”

Shirley: “Right……… So for our Maxter, we equipped a new gimmick for the finals.”

Zuisen & Keiun: “Our Dragon Gundam, too.”

Raymond: “Same here.”

Nastasha: “Of course, on our Bolt Gundam as well.”

One after another, all of the crew divulges.

Rain: “Then, if we could use them—”

Nastasha: “We’d win the fight! Definitely!!”

Zuisen & Keiun: “It’s something that powerful!”

Everyone is brimming with confidence.

Raymond: “However—”

Shirley: “We still haven’t integrated its pilot system………”

Rain: “What does that mean?”

Nastasha: “The gimmick’s installation to the gundam is complete……… But we haven’t opened the control circuits for it.”

Zuisen & Keiun: “Because there wasn’t time, we thought we would do it……… after the opening ceremony was over.”

Raymond: “As I thought, it’s the same as us……… I never thought that a toast at a food stall would wind up being fatal………”

Zuisen & Keiun and Raymond are apologetic.

Rain: “But if all we need to do is activate the systems, that could be done via remote control.”

Nastasha: “That’s not possible.”

Rain: “How come?”

Nastasha: “It’s this barrier.”

Shirley: “It seems that our voices are being amplified to reach Chibodee and the others, but transmission of mechanical data is being blocked.”

Rain: “That can’t be………”

Everyone is frustrated.

Rain: “I wonder if there isn’t a way………”

Nastasha: “If we could just open a hole in the barrier, even a small one.”

Shirley: “Then the activation protocol could be sent from that gap.”

All of them look bitterly at the barrier.

The barrier gleams unyieldingly.

Schwarz stares at its appearance and ponders.

Schwarz: “Destruction of the barrier………?”

Undefeated of the East: “Hm……… Schwarz, based on what I know you have a way, don’t you?”

Schwarz: “What do you mean? Undefeated of the East!”

Undefeated of the East: “Is it okay to say that here?”

Schwarz: “What??”

With a bold smile on his face, the Undefeated of the East heads toward the barrier alone. While enveloped in the barrier, he takes a step out.

Bunny: “Awwww, it’s not fair that it’s only him!”

Shirley: “It can’t be helped, he’s the former King of Hearts.”

Cath: “That allows him to pass through the barrier.”

Undefeated of the East: “Heheh……… Even though I retired, I’m still considered one of the Shuffle.”

Bunny: “Then, even if you die will you come back as one of the Dark??”

Undefeated of the East: “Perhaps?”

With a wry smile, the Undefeated of the East exits the barrier.

Bunny: “I’m gonna study to be an exorcist!!”

Shirley: “That’s stupid.”

Shirley chides Bunny.

X X X

Undefeated of the East: “Heheh………”

The Undefeated of the East makes his way toward Domon’s arena.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Hm?”

Domon: “M-Master??”

The two of them notice Undefeated of the East.

Undefeated of the East: “Hmph, are you calling me Master again?”

The Undefeated of the East mocks him.

Undefeated of the East: “Well fine, but in a rare opportunity the members of our school have all gathered! Come! Master Gundam!!”

The Undefeated of the East boards the Master Gundam, which comes passing through the barrier.

Undefeated of the East: “Elder sister disciple!! First, let’s make a move and face off!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Interesting!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat’s white Master Gundam stands at the ready opposite him.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Then, my Nine Tails Funnels!!”

Her rear funnel plates open, and all at once they fly out. Each one of them shoots an energy bullet into the path of the Undefeated of the East’s Master Gundam. The Undefeated’s Master Gundam repels those bullets with its wings.

Undefeated of the East: “Fire! Beam Cloth!!”

Launching a fabric-like Beam Cloth from both hands, the Undefeated of the East creates a formation. The Nine Tails Funnels which come flying in are blocked the Beam Cloth, scattering, which forces her to use beam attacks from a distance.

Undefeated of the East: “Rise up! Twelve Kings Tiles!”

Holding out both hands, the Undefeated of the East raises his fingers. In sync with his movements, clones of the Master Gundam rise from the cloth formation.

Undefeated of the East: “The earth is infinite!! The sky is ahead!!”

The sake cup held in the Undefeated of the East’s hand slams down and shatters. At the same time, the clones attack the funnels, and one by one the funnels lose their balance and fly around out of control.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I see! You use Daisha Hei like that?!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat laughs.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “In that case, let me show you my new Xiao Hongchen move!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat brings both hands together. She forms a tai chi ball between her palms, and as it spins the Master Gundam clones are sucked in. Inside the sphere, the clones return to a single mass of energy.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Spread out! Eight-Sided Formation!!”

As she yells, a bullet with the energy of the combined clones distorts space as it rockets toward the Undefeated of the East.

Undefeated of the East: “Ridiculous!!!”

The Undefeated of the East receives the energy as a straight punch.

Undefeated of the East: “Mmmmrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!”

Although he is pushed back, he fills his fist with power. The energy and the Undefeated’s fist struggle for dominance.

Undefeated of the East: “Break!!”

With his shout, he sends the energy bullet flying.

Undefeated of the East: “Detonation!!”

The energy runs along the surface of the sea, where it hits an island and causes a huge explosion.

X X X

The island is blown away without a trace. Everyone inside the barrier is watching the situation, dumbfounded.

Sijiema: “Wh-…… What the hell is that??”

Eric: “Hey……… are we gonna fight something like that??”

Rutger: “Big Neo Greek Boss! Can you hold up against that??”

Marcelot: “S-…… Somehow, I’ll manage.”

Marcelot is clearly bluffing.

X X X

The Undefeated of the East and Lone Fox Seeking Defeat continue to exchange blows.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “The same strong technique as always!”

Undefeated of the East: “Next I’ll use the 17th move of the West!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Then what happens if I retaliate with the 235th of the North?!”

Undefeated of the East: “I’ll catch it and send it back with the 7th of the Mountain!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I’ll hit that back with the North-Northwest!!”

Undefeated of the East: “Before it hits, the 765th of the South-Southeast!!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “In that case I’ll kick it up with the Left 128!!!”

Undefeated of the East: “I’ll steal the initiative with the Right Northwest by North!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I’ll change the recipient with the Northwest Northeast!”

Undefeated of the East: “To continue, I’ll charge with the 8th Footing!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I’ll beat you to the punch by responding with Center Thousand Hands!!”

Undefeated of the East: “I’ll fire!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Fire!!”

Undefeated of the East: “If you fire—!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Time to fire!!”

Undefeated of the East & Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Fire, fire, fire, fire!!”

One after another, the two of them unleash their school’s special moves against each other.

Undefeated of the East: “The School of the Undefeated of the East!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “The winds of the king!!!”

Undefeated of the East: “Zenshin Keiretsu.”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Tempa Kyoran.”

Both of them battle each other with countless fists.

Both of them: “Look! The East is burning reeeeedddd!!!!!!!!!”

The two Master Gundams connect their fists.

Undefeated of the East: “!!!!!!!”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “!!!!!!!”

The two glare at one another.

X X X

The crew members and Domon are watching those two’s battle in shocked amazement.

Domon: “Th-……… This is a true battle between schoolmates.”

Crew: “Amazing……… as expected from two masters!”

Schwarz: “We’ve been shown something great………”

Impressed, Schwarz suddenly notices something and watches. Both gundams’ fists are repeatedly regenerating.

Schwarz: “Regeneration of the fists………”

Schwarz gradually becomes convinced.

Schwarz: “It could be………”

X X X

Undefeated of the East: “Hmph……… Schwarz, that bastard, did he notice………?”

Inclining his head to where he sensed Schwarz’s presence, the Undefeated of the East gives him a glance. His fist gets knocked away by Lone Fox Seeking Defeat as she takes advantage of the opportunity.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Heheh, what’s wrong, little brother? Getting distracted at the end really isn’t like you.”

Undefeated of the East: “No, it’s nothing. As I’d expect, there’s no escaping my elder sister disciple’s eyes.”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “However, you have improved your skills as well.”

Undefeated of the East: “To a fair extent.”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat smiles kindly at Undefeated of the East, who wears a bitter smile. Together, they come out of their cockpits.

Undefeated of the East: “Domon! Why don’t you come over here as well, and introduce yourself again!”

Domon: “Yes!!”

Called by the Undefeated of the East, Domon exits his cockpit. Before the two of them, he drops to his knees and kowtows.

Domon: “I am the lowest-ranking member, Domon Kasshu, and once again I’m happy to meet………”

In the middle of his sentence, Domon suddenly realizes.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat has no right arm, and she was a one-armed fighter.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “What, this? Heheh, my younger brother disciple made me pay for something I did.”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat gives a strained laugh.

Domon: “Eh? But earlier Master said ‘the only person I couldn’t defeat.’”

Undefeated of the East: “Idiot, it’s not that I couldn’t defeat, but specifically ‘I didn’t defeat.’”

Domon: “Huh??”

Domon doesn’t really understand the meaning.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Hehe, it’s a matter of how you say it.”

Sighing with a bitter smile, Lone Fox Seeking Defeat places her hand on her armless right shoulder.

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “However, those days remain engraved on this lost arm.”

Undefeated of the East: “So this time, with Dark duties and such as second priority……… your true objective is……… as I thought………”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Yes……… As you can imagine, it’s entirely about a personal grudge.”

Lone Fox Seeking Defeat smiles coldly.

To be continued……

G Gundam meta notes, eps 35-39:

"Showdown! Bursting Machinegun Punch"

-the first appearance of Master's death cough?

-George seems so much shallower then the others when you put it that way. I'll have to pay extra attention to him in coming eps because he's more of an enigma than he seems

-Chibodee actually seems really anguished about this, dang

-and he switches from name back to epithet to create distance, interesting

-”work with me on this!” ayup, Chibodee needs hype as a motivator

-”reflecting a tradition of calm and simplicity” sure, that sounds like Domon 

-"better than he's ever been"

-”and most of all, it's for you”

-"you sure know how to make me happy"

-"CHIBODEE HAS LIT A FIRE IN DOMON'S SOUL"

-oh my god everything out of their mouths at this point, I can't keep up with listing every quote they're coming so fast

-”I can feel your dream”

-”your hunger ignited a fire within me”

-”you're a great rival!” :) gotta get that hype in there

-oooh, that fade in, did Chibs actually get knocked out for a few seconds?? Concussion check!

-you can practically see the shoujo bubbles, seriously, check the soft focus - and Domon is such an encouraging friend! It's so sweet, even if you're not a useless queer like me. In fact, it's a nice callback to their original faceoff! (And literally supportive too, even; I do love a good 'leaning on/propping up your teammate'. Although now I have to go back and note whether Domon reassures his friends on the regular or if it's just Chibodee–)

"A Knights' Pride! Gundam Rose Stolen"

-”I'm focusing solely on you” George, that's a little gay

-George talking with a rose in his mouth though, great line delivery

-"the Gundam Fight is not a sport" that's,,, hm. Certainly not how they seem to treat it. Interesting highlight of the difference between the fighters and the politicos

-hmm, it says something interesting that this is the circumstance in which we see George cry

-'knight' is a wildly anachronistic position, but there's something up here, as he clearly has some hangups about his self-worth tied up in fighting and country and,,,

-aside from Domon putting Shining to rest, this is the only other time we see someone talking to their Gundam. Rose really is George's lady, huh

-"just this one time I wish to fight only for myself" ooooh this has such juicy implications! (A ‘gilded cage’ corollary to Argo, re: fighting as freedom?)

-even at his most passionate he's still… restrained? That's not quite the right word. But like he almost doesn't know how to let himself go, even when he's clearly already gone

-"I've been devoutly loyal to x all my life (at the expense of my sense of self) but now I wanna do something for me" is so good

-it's almost like he believes fighting is the only thing he's good for. Something to dig into

"Sai Saici's New Attack! Blazing Dragon Gundam"

-Rain is so insecure about her place in Domon's life among fighters, and that's interesting, but she was never threatened before Allenby, which is understandable but somewhat less interesting

-Allenby calling Sai ‘kid’ and ‘baby boy’ like she's not closer to his age than Domon's 

-damn, Domon really gets Sai

-okay Wong almost made that sound like he's somehow in on Master being sick

-man, Zuisen and Keiun keep underestimating Sai. Like, nice job breaking it hero

-Sai’s dad was hot. I'm gonna guess Sai will grow up nice ;)

-I wonder what Shin Ryusen Kochouken would be in Mandarin (or whatever Chinese dialect Sai would speak)

-There's probably some cool stuff to be said about Asian solidarity by someone more knowledgeable than me. But like. These are really bros and I love it. Need more of this dynamic tbh

-aw, Rain getting the martial artist bond (so long as it's not with Allenby I guess)

"Domon vs. Argo! Charging Bolt Gundam"

-why would Neo Russia cover up something against a criminal they'd want more against? 

-Wong tortures people now, cool cool

-you don't always get to notice it, but Argo's eyes are such a pretty icy blue

-oh, it's "us" now, is it, Nastasha?

-I'm struggling with words on this one, and it might be because I've screamed over it too many times over the years (esp about things like how fucked up the hologram is, or The Date), like I feel I'm repeating myself

-or that I'm just wordlessly screaming at Argo and Nastasha because I fucking love them

-Argo just takes the whole damn fish

-Nastasha can cook! 

-interesting that she notices a superstition

-they go back and forth on whether they're using Berserker

-ARGO THAT SHOUT WAS DOWNRIGHT MUSICAL

-”now we can focus solely on each other” lil gay there Domon

-GET HIM, MASTER

-”I haven't forgotten my duties as the Black Joker” mind filling us in on what those duties are? 

-finally get tears from Argo and it's in flashback

-"Argo, you're awesome" :)

-"one x for the both of us" is SO GOOD, YOU GUYS

-"your fists have shown me the light to my soul" sounds kind of goofy but this situation is actually a really cool application of 'communicating with your fists' - Argo being someone who shows himself to be so respectful of life is incongruent with the incident the way Andrew remembers it, so the reality of current actions fills in the blanks of the past. This probably isn't coming out right.

"The Ultimate Attack! Duel With Master Asia"

-it's only a split second, but Argo has a nice butt

-tapping into Rain's insecurities about being needed, I see

-way to give the viewer whiplash re: Domon - show him being a jerk to Rain, then follow it with him being adorable with Fuunsaiki 

-,,,he communicates with the horse better than he does with Rain

-I don't know what that says about him but it's fuel for the autistic headcanon

-”are you trying to tell me I should ride you?” Now there's something that can be taken out of context

-what a messy divorce

-I wanna know when they actually mean ‘defeat’ and when they mean ‘kill’

-oh wow, Master Asia can actually get injured?

-”I could leave you behind” yeah, but you won't

-"the one thing I never taught you",,, and then proceeds to not teach him before asking him to do it. Unless they handwaved/skipped that part for us

-oooh, motive rant! And in case we forgot about the crapsack world setup from the early episodes, y'know, more fuel for the anti-war environmentalist fire

-the horse gets a suit-up!

-you know what, Domon, I get that you were worried, but you fuckin deserve Rain leaving

[lotusmuses]

i think Kuni's original name was Hozo (保蔵) which means "to defend, ensure, and store" sounds pretty similar to the task he was created for right? also it's the original name of the real life Niwa Nagakuni (丹羽長国) (and we've seen all 3 parts of this guy's name in genshin 👀)

alternatively his name is likely inspired by Tokugawa Mitsukuni (徳川 光圀)/Mito Kōmon (水戸黄門) who was the son of the first Tokugawa Shogun and now is regarded as a kami (god). his childhood names were Chomaru (長丸) and Chiyomatsu (千代松) — interestingly this guy oversaw Kinbyōzan Zuisen-ji, also known as the Temple of Flowers. and his life was dramatized in narratives that portray him as a wanderer, masquerading as a commoner, who castigated the evil powers in every corner of the nation.

Still wrapping my head and heart around the devastating fire at Sui gusuku / Shuri Castle.

Had intense dreams last night and woke to the sound of water flowing from Zuisen / Ryuhi, the dragon fountain that brings forth the spring waters that were once used to provide drinking water for the entire castle and its guests, including investiture envoys from China. On a more personal note, this fountain also provided the spring water which my family once drew to distill amui / awamori for the Ryukyu court.

As the sound of that spring faded and I awakened to this reality, I still held an image which felt more like a memory than dream. I found myself at the steps of the Zuisemmon, adding my tears to the spring waters that began to overflow down the stone steps...

G Gundam side story English translation, Ch. 1 part 3:

(previous part here)

Neo Hong Kong, Men's Street (Temple Street)

Everyone: “Cheeeeers!!!”

Everybody clinks their glasses together. Domon and the other Shuffle Alliance and their respective crews surround a food stall on Men’s Street.

Chibodee: “Ahhhh!! This is freaking amaaazing!!”

Chibodee downs his beer in one gulp. Next to him, Sai Saici surreptitiously holds a glass.

Zuisen: “Oh, Sai Saici is over here!”

Zuisen grabs Sai Saici’s glass and swaps it for one filled with tea.

Keiun: “That’s right, alcohol is for when you’re an adult!”

Sai Saici: “Whhaaat?! Just a little foam can’t hurt, can it?! And besides, you two are monks, so is it really okay for you to drink either?”

Zuisen & Keiun: “Yes, because we’ve been terrible monks since the day we were born!!”

Everyone: “Hahahahaaaa!!”

Everyone laughs at Zuisen and Keiun, who also down their drinks in one go.

George: “Well, we all made it out of that battle in Guyana safely, so for tonight let’s celebrate.”

Chibodee: “Hey now, what happened to your usual uptight chivalry?”

George: “I’m keeping it safe so that you don’t tarnish it, of course.”

Chibodee: “Okay listen, it’s time you take that bag that holds your precious chivalry and lock it up tight! Otherwise, I’ll completely dirty it up in the league match, alright?!”

George: “No, no, you’re the one who needs to be careful so that star mark on your chest doesn’t wash off anywhere.”

Chibodee: “Ohhhh?? That’s interesting, why don’t we fight right here right now?”

George: “Sounds good to me!!”

Both of them: “Well then, ready, go!!”

The two stare daggers at each other.

X X X

Empty beer and wine glasses lie overturned on the table. In front of it, Chibodee and George look exhausted.

Chibodee: “Heh… not too bad, huh?”

George: “If we’re speaking in terms of alcohol content……… wine has more, you know.”

Despite being completely wasted, the two get competitive. Raymond steps in to intervene.

Raymond: “Now, now, that’s enough, you two………”

Shirley: “Seriously, I can’t believe you can get that drunk from only three drinks.”

Raymond: “Oh dear……… I mustn’t allow Miss Maria Louise to see you like this.”

Argo: “Seriously……… is there no one capable of rivaling me?”

Casually, Argo drinks from a bottle of vodka.

Bunny: “That’s just incredible.”

Cath: “But it’s dangerous.”

Janet: “That dude’s definitely going to pass out.”

The Chibodee Gals step back and watch Argo cautiously.

Rain: “Well, if it ends up being an emergency, as a doctor I’ll give him an injection and then figure something out.”

Sai Saici: “Whhaaat?? But if old man Argo passes out, I was thinking of throwing him in the ocean, and that way I’d get one extra win in the league!”

Rain: “If you do that, a scary Neo Russian will come flying at you with a whip.”

Sai Saici: “Th-that sounds……… Wait, now that I think of it, that beast tamer — uh, I mean military officer — isn’t here, is she?”

Argo: “No, she said that she’s taking some time to report back to our home country.”

Rain: “That’s right……… the battle in Guyana……… with something like that, no matter how you phrase it I suppose it’s not going to be your everyday report.”

Argo: “I’m sorry……… that Nastasha is forcing you to supervise me.”

Rain: “No, you brought me with you from Guyana when I collapsed, so it’s the least I can do.”

As she speaks, Rain looks at Domon.

Rain: “Uh, Domon!! Just how much are you eating?!”

Without any interest in the conversation until now, Domon continues eating with an utter mountain of plates in front of him.

Domon: “How could you……… say such a thing *munch*……… It’s just it’s been a long time since I’ve had a decent meal *munch*.”

Rain: “A long time? Decent? What is that supposed to mean?!”

Rain reproaches Domon.

Domon: “It’s not supposed to mean anything. You’re the one that always cooked, you know? So—”

Rain: “Hold on, if you finish that sentence, then we’re… we’re absolutely—”

In rage mode, Rain approaches Domon.

Sai Saici: “Ahhhh, it’s the usual!”

Zuisen: “I know, absolutely through with each other.”

Keiun: “Absolutely through.”

Grimacing, Sai Saici and the others watch Domon and Rain. Domon tilts his head in confusion.

Domon: “We’re absolutely? Absolutely what?”

Rain: “We’re absolutely—!!!!!!!”

Rain is just about to yell.

A voice: “Absolutely in great shape. Isn’t that right?”

Everyone: “?!”

As if robbing Rain of her words, a voice interrupts. Everyone looks to the person who spoke.

Sijiema: “Of course, it’s this tournament’s favored contenders, sharing a friendly meal before the opening ceremony!”

The owner of the voice is Neo India’s fighter, Chandra Sijiema. Alongside him is a group made up of Neo Kenya’s Conta N'Doul, Neo Norway’s Eric the Viking, Neo Holland’s Rutger Verhoeven, and Neo Spain’s Carlos Andalusia.

Chibodee: “What’s this now? With a gang of that many members, what exactly are you thinking of doing?”

Chibodee attacks.

Sijiema: “Whoa, I have no intention of fighting here. You lot are members of the Shuffle Alliance, after all.”

Eric: “Yeah we’ve heard, that in Shinjuku or somewhere there was a succession of Shuffle Alliance members.”

Rutger: “That’s you guys.”

Sijiema: “But what I really don’t understand is that I heard the Shuffle Alliance doesn’t get directly involved in the world’s disputes.”

Carlos: “And yet this time, all of you are participating.”

Rutger: “If you have some kind of plan, we’d like you to tell us.”

Chibodee: “Uh………”

Chibodee is at a loss for words at Shijima and the others’ question.

Carlos: “No, no, the Shuffle Alliance is a secret society of sorts, so there’s no way they’d tell an outsider.”

Conta: “In that case, we need to prepare some countermeasures… That’s what I think.”

Sijiema: “That being said, the best we can do is to exchange information, and you have until the opening ceremony starts tomorrow to do that.”

Eric: “Well, Shuffles, I look forward to seeing what you’ll do.”

Sijiema and the others throw some sarcastic remarks towards Domon and company, then leave. Domon and the rest watch them go with a slight unease.

Domon and the others: “………”

Chibodee: “Huh………”

Chibodee breaks the silence of Domon and everybody else.

Chibodee: “But hey, nobody would be able to give those guys an answer………”

George: “Yes, if you think about it we inherited these crests suddenly and without any explanation.”

Sai Saici: “For real……… In the end, what are we supposed to do? None of us have a clue.”

Anxiously, Chibodee and the others each look at their own crests.

Argo: “No, Domon, it’s different for you, isn’t it?”

George: “That’s right, you formally inherited the title of King of Hearts from your master, Undefeated of the East, didn’t you?”

Chibodee: “Yeah, I bet you heard a lot about it then, right? What the Shuffle duties are, and rules and whatnot.”

Everyone interrogates Domon.

Domon: “Right……… that is………”

Sai Saici: “That is?”

Domon: “I wasn’t told the details either.”

Everyone: “Huh??”

Everybody is taken aback by Domon’s unexpected answer.

Domon: “The truth is……… after Master won the 12th Tournament, he abruptly returned to Guyana and all of a sudden said he would pass along the King of Hearts to me.”

X X X

~Remembering~

Domon and the Undefeated of the East bring their fists together. On Domon’s fist, a glowing crest appears.

X X X

Domon: “And we split up immediately after that………”

Sai Saici: “So then, you don’t know anything about it either, Bro?”

Domon: “Right…… From what I had heard before, the Shuffle only aims to ‘keep order in the world’ from a ‘non-intervention’ standpoint.”

Chibodee: “What the hell does that mean?”

George: “In other words, we mustn’t do anything………”

Everyone tilts their heads.

Sai Saici: “But that’s weird, because the Undefeated of the East also participated in the 12th Tournament as the King of Hearts, right?”

Argo: “And he even won…”

Everybody’s curiosity deepens.

Rain: “But then isn’t that a complete violation of the rules………? Also, the previous Shuffles in Shinjuku seemed remarkably angry.”

Sai Saici: “Well then, I wonder if something happened at the 12th Tournament?”

Domon: “Yeah……… Master did seem strange when he returned from the victory………”

X X X

The Undefeated of the East transfers his King of Hearts crest to Domon.

Undefeated of the East: “………”

His eyes are shimmering, filled with remorse.

X X X

Domon: “But at that time, I wasn’t able to ask him anything………”

Sorrowfully, Domon remembers. George picks up on his feelings.

George: “Well since it’s come to this, we’ll just have to understand more about the Shuffle little by little.”

Chibodee: “Yeah! That’s it!”

Chibodee snaps out of his previous mood.

Chibodee: “Anyway, tomorrow is the opening ceremony! This concludes tonight!!”

Argo: “Agreed!!”

Domon: “If I find out anything about the Shuffle, I’ll definitely let you know! So in the Gundam Fight starting tomorrow, let’s have a fair and good fight!!”

Everyone: “Definitely!!”

The determination to win burns in all of them.

X X X

All of the Shuffles disband with their respective crews.

Rain: “Come on, Domon, let’s go back to our lodgings too.”

Domon: “Right………”

Domon watches the others leave with slight worry. Suddenly, he senses something.

Domon: “??”

He looks around, scanning the surroundings for anything strange.

Domon: “………………”

Rain: “What are you doing? Let’s hurry up and go, okay? I’m going to leave you behind.”

Domon: “Yeah, alright.”

Domon hurries to follow Rain.

Rain: “Gosh, if we get lost in a place like this we’re done for, because we’ll get caught by bad guys and turned into Peking duck.”

Domon: “The heck does that mean?? Did you read some weird manga again??”

Playfully, the two of them disappear down Men’s Street.

However, there is a shadowy figure watching the pair from atop a building.

Figure: “………………”

Then, the person hears a news show coming from a food stall’s television.

Figure: “………? ………”

News: “This is an update regarding the series of ‘strange occurrences’ that have been happening recently in various places across the Earth.”

Figure: “!?”

Suddenly the shadow figure notices something. When they look, a man is rapidly approaching as he leaps between buildings.

Figure: “! ……… So you did notice after all? But the fun will be tomorrow!”

With those words, the person’s form disappears. The man, appearing to have been chasing the figure, drops to stand on the rooftop.

Man: “!!”

In the surrounding area, no signs remain of the figure from just before. The man who had come chasing after them is the Undefeated of the East.

Undefeated of the East: “Hmm……… There’s no doubt about it……… But, that was quicker than I thought………”

The Undefeated of the East lingers for a moment in the midst of Neo Hong Kong’s nighttime scenery. The sound of the news broadcast echoes over him.

News: “This time, at a commemorative performance for a Neo American athlete who defined an era, a historical heroine in Neo France, a temple for the founder of a martial art in Neo China, and a world-record-setting pilot in Neo Russia, each of those people’s resting places were robbed, and their coffins have disappeared along with something approximately the size of a gundam, according to witnesses.”

The strange happenings at various locations appear on the news footage.

G Gundam meta notes part four, eps 25-29:

"All Fighters Gathered! The Final Battles Begin"

-the Shuffle Alliance being so shrouded in mystery is interesting given that EVERYONE IN UNIVERSE SEEMS TO KNOW THEM or at least that the crests mark top fighters

-blah blah clip show episode mostly but HELLO FUUNSAIKI

-S U P E R  A S I A 

-just in case we forgot this is actually a crapsack world, we get "yeah you can target the cockpit now, yes I know exactly what will happen :)"

-and "unlimited repairs (if you can afford it lol)"

-hold on, is Chibodee left-handed? Or is he just saluting with the left because it feels less Nazi-esque that way? (If this was obvious in his earlier episodes, forgive me; I've never been great with my left and right, especially when I have to flip them. It just sticks out here because he's saluting differently from everyone else.)

"A New Weapon! Erupting God Finger"

-Wong talking with his mouth full is great

-I love that Domon seems to be allergic to hotels

-”no one here has any clue how powerful my Burning Gundam is” INCLUDING YOU, DOMON

-WHY IS MARCELOT THIRTEEN FUCKING FEET TALL

-✴️ wander bug ✴️

-Argo's thumbs up is a thing of beauty

-I wanna know what happened to Hoy and Ming's parents

-ah, the suit-up is much easier in this gundam

-huh, Marcelot took that loss in stride

"Hang on Domon! Triumph of the Restored Faith"

-i love Domon with children

-and Rain referring to said kids as Domon's friends, interesting

-and Domon both believing kids are working with Chandra and being disturbed to distraction over it

-okay this is bizarro-land racist. Is he supposed to be part snake?

-although between him and the last guy, I wonder if it's supposed to imply that some of the colonies have been doing genetic engineering to create super-fighters. It wouldn't be the weirdest or shadiest thing going on in this universe

-Hoy is clearly markedly younger than the rest of the friend group 

-”Mister East”

"Domon Targeted! The Assassin's Staff"

-the announcer swooning over Schwarz

-Hoy, kiddo, there's a pest here and it's the one who kicked a guy in the shin 0.2 seconds after meeting him

-love that, knowing he's dealing with an assassin, Chibodee 1) brings it up real casual with the target, and 2) is ready to BEAT UP SAID ASSASSIN

-”if I can sneak up to him” he says, and then yells

-that was a noble attempt to save him, Chibodee

-Chibs did his research on Kyral, I see

-Neo Nepal is fucked up, but then with some of these countries what else is new

-Sai as training partner is great

-Chibodee, why would you rush in and try to hit this guy? Also, why are you still hanging around there anyway?

-after all these wins by default, you'd think someone would investigate

-that double phallic sword faceoff just screams "I see your schwartz is as big as mine, now let's see how well you use it"

-”then I will SLASH you!”

-I wonder if there's something to be said about ableism in the Gundam Fight - like, clearly Kyral can fight while blind, so they didn't have to toss him aside

-Schwarz’s Moon Tiara saves the day again

-cultural relativism? Chibodee seems hung up on Kyral’s crimes being unforgivable, while Domon and Sai are like “he's moving forward and doing better, good for him”

"Running Away! Sai Saici In Love"

-I guess Neo Denmark is low on money, to not be able to repair the Gundam

-Sai trying to sound cool and mysterious is hysterical

-I wouldn't mind Sai’s canon height so much if Cecile wasn't shorter than him. A teenage girl markedly under 4’4”? With no indication that they're meant to be little people? Even for anime, that's a stretch

-though I wonder if she dresses the way she does to signal that she is, in fact, older than she looks

-Cecile is so frickin noble and good-hearted

-Hans has very twink-or-lesbian vibes

-”elderly men?” Cecile probably assuming a gay couple adopted Sai. Though I guess we don't know what's up with Zuisen and Keiun anyway?

-Domon doesn't know a date when he sees one, or at least that you don't interrupt one

-brb going hyper mode just to trip some guys

-unison speaking is one thing, but synchronized crying is something else

-I wonder what Hans does in the off season

Zuisen-ji - Les plus beaux jardins Zen de Kamakura

Zuisen-ji est un temple bouddhiste Zen situé au nord-est de Kamakura. Parfois aussi appelé "le temple des fleurs", il vaut le détour pour ses jardins qui prennent l’aspect d’une jungle en été. De plus, les floraisons de nombreuses variétés de fleurs et autres végétaux s’y succèdent tout au long de l’année. Il constitue également la dernière étape de la rand…
