Gravity Energy, you say? After World War 2, you say? How INTERESTING. It’s a pretty notable backstory element to the Byston Well works related to Wings of Rean, but not one noticeable up front.
And yep, Scarlet autolives in SRW’s version of UX. Which is neat - BX is post SKL, but has her as well dead.
I fucking love SKL’s design, because the entire OVA is basically an 80s death metal album with pretty animation and SKL itself is perfect for the aesthetic. It’s possibly the most broken Mazinger in any SRW up till UX, as well. Protip - Kaidou and Magami share skills, and that includes Mental Fortitude and SP Up. One gets Zeal, the other gets Hot Blood, and oh boy, there they go.
C attacks being on all pilots means that you should focus giving ships your C Power Up skills (Multipilot or w/e they’re called) since they’re always solo. Battleships that always do 90% or more damage to both parts of a pair hit pretty hard.
Also, here’s the best version across all fiction of Liu Bei’s squad, including a Kongming who doesn’t sit on his ass the entire damn time (ok, he does SOME of the time, but that’s a fucking improvement!) and a Zhang Fei who’s not a total asshole! And Liu Bei is voiced by Yuki Kaji, who actually sounds REALLY FUCKING GOOD in the role instead of… well… Amata. (No, seriously though. The fact that he ends up combining isn’t a spoiler since he’s in that form in the prologue, but his eventual combination sequence is fucking beautiful and Yuki Kaji managed it perfectly. When the time finally comes that we get it in UX, post th- goddamnit Youtube you removed all of SD Gundam Sangokuden! I was going to link to the video, but it’s not anywhere to be found, damnit. I might go grab the series and upload the blasted thing myself.)
