G Gundam Episode 13: Big Trouble! Domon vs. Big 5

February 1, 2018 Leave a Comment

While investigating a radio signal, Domon is attacked by four fighters and a mysterious Gundam.

Episode Summary

The Shinjuku security force hears a piano on a radio signal coming from underneath Tokyo Tower; Domon and Master Asia check it out, but ditch their Gundams and race each other on foot to see who can get there the fastest.

Master and Domon on the move

Domon runs into Chibodee Crockett, Argo Gulskii, Sai Saici, and finally George de Sand (the piano player). All fighters he’s encountered before, only now they’re acting strange and aggressive, like assholes. They’ve been infected by DG cells!

Mysterious Gundam

Meanwhile, Rain is forced to pilot the Shining Gundam to defend herself from Death Army mobile suits and a mysterious Gundam with horns.

Domon finds his way back to the Shining Gundam, and with Rain’s help, uses the Shining Finger on the mysterious Gundam. It disappears just as Master Asia and his Kowloon Gundam arrive on the scene. Better late than never.

Thoughts

This episode rides the wave of goodness started by the last one. The fights were frenetic, as Domon moved from opponent to opponent in rapid succession, avoiding the punches (and subway cars) thrown at him. We also see Rain join the fray, piloting a Gundam for the first time.

Big 5 (sans the pilot of the mystery Gundam)

But I feel it’s the weakest link in the Shinjuku arc when compared to its companion episodes. Its focus is more on the setup than the payoff, so I find it’s less enjoyable on rewatches.

5 Egg

Above and beyond, a true pleasure; re-watchable.

4 Egg

Very good, quality work.

3 Egg

Average, nothing special but inoffensive.

2 Egg

Weak, but may have one or two redeeming qualities.

1 Egg

Horrible, causes pain. Get it away from me!

I spoil (near) everything in my reviews. If you want to remain spoiler-free, I advise you to close your eyes. But did you know that spoilers are actually good for you?
