Episode 97: Disaster in Red
With the DLC and chat marathon done, let’s get back into Chapter 5 proper. This time we’re dealing with more Godzilla Singular Point story. Apparently the world is in danger of a world destroying catastrophe, and we need “diagonalizers” to deal with higher order matter.
Episode 98: The Dragon’s Eternal Justice
The title of this stage is far, far more grandiose than the reality. You might have thought it has something to do with Dynazenon, Getter, or something else with a dragon. No, it’s just Altron Gundam, and also the Eternal, and also the Infinite Justice. Nice name, but at least there’s a second meaning about Wufei’s justice.
The game just got a big update in light of the release of DLC 2. The attack screens have bigger percentages, and the level and upgrade caps have been increased.
Episode 99: Three Principles of Darkness
Off we go to Detroit. I didn’t expect this to be a social commentary! There are violent armed gangs and a destroyed city. Why does that feel like modern day? We try to coax out some gangs, but are a bit more successful than planned. The one we get to come out and fight gets overrun by the Dark Army. We have Urube and Wong Yun Fat as well as some L-Gaim enemies.
Wow! The big 100. This is an annoyingly long game. Lots of fun, but I do miss the 50 stage SRWs. Oh well. Buckle in for another Loooooooong episode. As you can tell from the thumbnail, we have a great new robot joining the game now.
Episode 100: Power to Overcome Evil
Time to hit Athens. Walkure has a concert. But before we can attend, the Infernal Alliance attack! They have some special ritual in mind that they’re working on. The Great General of Darkness enters the battlefield himself, and we finally get a much awaited powerup for Tetsuya.
Slight delay again. Oops.
Episode 101: NOAH Brand’s Resolve
We have a Walkure concert near Cheyenne Freyja is upset because the soldiers call her music a weapon. This kicks off a series of events that results in NOAH Brand, now led by Re Sistis to attack the A Advent. This is very much a timed boss rush, with some grunts hanging around the sides. As always, we play a bit slowly in real time, but in terms of in-game time, we take the whole force out in four minutes, and even take out most of the bosses on turn 2.
Oops, forgot to post 102 when it dropped, so have a double episode day.
Episode 102: The World Turning
Confirm your shelter shield is activated. Yes, Heero says the line! Remember, it’s not Christmas until Heero confirms the shelter shield is activated. We have the events of Endless Waltz to go through, and it’s a spam of Serpents and other NOAHS forces.
Episode 103: Mission: Walkure Escort
Walkure has unfortunately picked up some stalkers. They need some body guards, and for some reason or another, Delta Squadron isn’t in a position to provide their usual services, so the G and Wings teams are recruited for bodyguard duty. Shenanigans arise. Shenanigans, I say!
Episode 104: A Day of Ninja Training
Another quick and fun DLC mission. It’s just a filler, but a fun one. Domon and Cross are training, and then Shinn and Kira get roped in. They don’t like it at first, but the training helps their teamwork in the end.
Episode 105: Two Captains
Char and Bright have very different personalities, outlooks, and strategies. However, when they cooperate, magic happens.
Once more, the daily releases have gotten me caught up. Back to every other day releases, as scheduled.
Episode 106: Ancient Memories Unsealed
Akira’s father and grandfather are missing. The A. Advent goes to Bermuda to search for them. Along the way, they run into Garuda. Garuda rescues Akira’s father and grandfather from the underground lab they were trapped in while we fight the foes on the surface. Garuda returns, but then immediately terminates our temporary alliance. Why? What did he discover in the underwater lab?
Episode 107: Chapter 5 Finale: A Lonely Moonlit Path
Time to advance the OG story, and although this is long, Oh boy is it good! We get a lot of revelations, and we even run into Echika’s father. We also meet the person that is responsible for the technologies present on the A. Advent in general, and System Nira-Kana-I in particular.
Episode 108: Omen
With chapter 5 wrapped up, Zappa and I head back to take care of DLC 2. It’s time for the free preview stage. We get to try out Getter Noir, Steel Jeeg, and Da Garn, which the game uses to convince us to buy the DLC.
Episode 109: The Black Getter
Now that we’ve done the DLC 2 preview, let’s get into the actual DLC 2 stages. First and foremost, we have the entry I’m excited for, Getter Noir. We have a clone of Ryoma in a black Getter.
Episode 110: Brave of the Legend
Now that we’ve done the DLC 2 preview, let’s get into the actual DLC 2 stages. Another new unit joins us, this time it’s Da Garn. We have a preview stage with them having moved onto the A Advent. It’s nice to have a brave series on here.
Episode 111: The Immortal Man Returns
Alright, last one of the DLC 2 join up stages. This time, we have Steel Jeeg showing up. He has trouble transforming at first, but once it kicks in, he’s good to go.
