gaogaigar final fusion

[DuskTrainer]

Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union!!

[HeavyMechNS]

The voice actor who voices Guy also voices Ocarina of time adult link... as you can probably tell :D

[aizen111]

@HeavyMechNS and Viral from gurren lagann :3

[nbombb]

Man I'm just yearning to see this in HD. Ever seen my first glimpse on shitty Hong Kong bootleg DVD like 10 years ago... ahhhh.

[torinostu351]

Man, the music in this sends it completely over the top! It really gets the blood pumping. I should really finish this series.

[Tonbot74]

I wonder how many times they 've have to replace the glass covering on the Drive button. xD

[0neOfTheSeven]

That is a B2-Bomber on it's back O.O I thought this came out in 1997.

[AtticWarrior1994]

Toys. Of this. Right now.

[ZXChannelStudios]

@blakeliger0831 GaoGaiGar's de-fusion process is done manually with the help of cranes and whatnot back at HQ, if I recall correctly. It's shown once at the end of ep 1, (maybe once more in a later episode) and it's only a few seconds long. Absolutely uninteresting, really :/

[Wipnum]

@ZXChannelStudios I found it interesting ;_; I mean, yes, it doesn't earn a repeat every episode like Final Fusion, but I enjoyed seeing the menial yet involved process of carefully separating and recovering GaoGaiGar's components. It's the Dirty Jobs portion of the show :D . Sure, they had the "omg Guy is dying or something GET HIM OUT QUICK" business going on but whatever.

[BaxterXenon]

Ahhh the classic Heavy Armoured Robot overly done transformation. Dont you just love the fusion parts?

[blakeliger0831]

Does anyone have a video where the GGG is doing a "fusion out" ? It's basically reversing the final fusion.

[Farfeb]

What anime is this from?

[badarbiter]

@Farfeb King of braves gao gai gar

[YoutuJ3eJ3lows]

Epic ass music!

[apanst]

lol, jewtube arguments :3

[Allosaurus87]

in macademi wasshoi is elephantgar xD

[glasscube]

@LolRaptor @Pra5286

Let the butthurt flow through you

[Pra5286]

@glasscube I'm jus' sayin' is all.

[LolRaptor]

8 people were born with no soul at all :\

[Pra5286]

@LolRaptor Nail your tounge to a subway train you sad and easily entertained weeaboo faggot.

[LolRaptor]

@Pra5286 Eat a big steamin' bowl of dicks in your mom's basement, asspacking troll

[Pra5286]

@LolRaptor "Bag of dicks", not bowl. Enjoy fapping to hentai for the rest of your life.

[LolRaptor]

@Pra5286 Nobody cares how some buttslave teenage chav says anything, you snivelling pUKe. Enjoy your fake friends from 4chan, 'cuz they'll be the only ones an asstard like you ever has.

[Pra5286]

@LolRaptor lol, "chav". 4chan and friends in the same sentance made me lol. Ah, I'm sure the general population of 4chan aren't chavs so, thats a silly response.

Still masterbaiting to Anime, Raptor?

[kawainu]

カッコいい!!!

そして、懐かしい...

[LelouchCommandsYou]

"Program drive! OWW MOTHER OF FUCK I CUT MYSELF AGAIN!!!"

[Sereniama]

When used on the field, "GaoGaiGar" is boost to infinity, and you win the duel.

[zoidsmaniac]

Now if only they finished the dub.

[latinanitoku]

All Hail GaoGaiGar!!!

[rRecoveryProd]

Reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh's Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union

[KdogPrime]

@rRecoveryProd Nah, it's probably a coincidence.

[Citrakite]

@KdogPrime Nope they made it deliberately to look like Gaogaigar.

[Citrakite]

@KdogPrime Probably based the card art on the older Yuusha series that had come out before Gaogaigar and were hugely popular which is why the card looks like Big Volffog did a gattai with Liner Gao, Stealth Gao and Drill Gao.

System Fusion authorized!

[ekjasdevi]

this scene never gets old

[MrSorianov]

King of Mechas, GaoGaiGar *-*

[ToyNanaka]

come to think of it, why do all the mecha from mecha animes ( putting aside gundam, those gettai mechas) always have a crystal of some sort somewhere?

[jinoshi]

well if not for looks itself, its mainly used as a source of power. example would be Kamen rider's using belts to transform (excluding Hibiki)

[toxyc0slime]

OMG! my brain just exploded!

[daflu707]

GOT EPIC?

[JOZiable]

this is the most badass thing I have ever seen in my entire life 2 thumbs up

[darkrequiem0]

SO MUCH WIN

[MicroLight15]

i remember loving this show that i bought the robot thingy majigs but i onyl knew the 1st robot with the train and drill and jet thingy and the hammer with the screw driver and 4 years later when i turned 7 it becoem popular again

[AkatsukiRasengan11]

that is a badass megazord

[David315842]

It's not a megazord! It's a Yuusha robot!

[AkatsukiRasengan11]

yes i know i was joking

[David315842]

Oh Ok sorry. Usually a joke would be followed by a LOL or something similar, that's what put me off originally.

[clashkcire]

actually in episode 2 or 3 (i don't remember) the zonder entered the tornado but gaigar wore drill gao in his hands to drive the zonder away and continue with the final fusion

[blakstealth22]

That was epic.

[VenomGundam]

dont ask questions and don't take it seriously

[IZEASGT]

Yes. That is VERY a bullet train.

[compusrose]

Yes, yes it is a bullet train. To be more specific, it's modeled after the Japanese 500-series Shinkansen high speed train, which was put into regular service a month after GaoGaiGar first aired in Japan. That means in 1997, people in Japan got to ride GaoGaiGar's shoulders from place to place.

[MisterGamer43]

@compusrose I am so jealous!

[KdogPrime]

@compusrose "Great, the one day I decide to take the train to work and I get stuck in a robot."

[animeking1357]

@compusrose Fudge yes!

[kkofthefunkoffv3]

@compusrose And I think one of the bullet liner teams, from Transformers Robots in Disguise.

[TheUnlikelyHero]

not a bullet train, is Liner Gao. K Thx Bai

[Sparkbomber]

Uhm, just a bit of silly info, but the tornado-effect is supposed to be an electromagnetic barrier that the geo machines can break through, but nary another thing.

[ArkRiley]

Incidentally, the electromagnetic barrier is the same as the one that is used during Hell and Heaven- hence the 'Ultimate Offense and Defense'.

Still, it's a nice touch ; ). Most giant robots don't take time out to think of a way to keep the enemy from interrupting the combination.

[fvgbe342]

That's because Gaogaigar is one of the few shows with enemies capable of interrupting the hero's combination.

[vorpal83]

holy shit, subaru really packed on the pounds!

[compusrose]

What really makes this awesome is that Gai has the power of the Triforce of Courage.

Just listen to it, you'll figure it out.

[Socran]

You refer, of course, to his VA being the same as Link from Ocarina of Time. Sadly, he's no longer Link's VA in the newer games.

[compusrose]

That's right, Noboyuki Hiyama was the voice of Gai Shishio and Link, but they dropped Hiyama in favor of someone with a deeper voice for Twilight Princess.

Good thing Madarame from The Genshiken has the Triforce and G-stone now.

[Azmodeus87]

@compusrose: And don't forget about the spiral force. He's Viral too, you know ^_~

[bisondollars]

The huge tornado it generates is a cool touch, I often find it weird how the bad guys in super robot anime never attack the main characters when they're busy transforming/combining, but in GGG it's because they can't.

[IZEASGT]

It's cheesy. It's bombastic. It's over-the-top dramatic. It's ridiculous. And dammit, it's AWESOME. I can't think of any gattai sequences that are this good.

Side notes: A) What episode is this from? B) Despite the fact that GaoGaiGar has a much more epic gattai, I still have to give the overall coolness edge to Gurren Lagann.

[RyandSmith]

This is stock footage, made of love and art. It is in every episode, from 1 to 27, when they add the space boosters

[IZEASGT]

Not every episode has the sequence, actually (just most of them), and the exact length varies as well (the authorization, for instance, is occasionally omitted). Some, like episode 1, intersperse other scenes as well, and once or twice there's been stuff like the legs failing to join with DrillGao accurately on the first try. So I was wondering which episode this particular clip was taken from.

[Scentless]

And then there was the MANUAL FINAL FUSION episode.

Fucking rad-ass.

[bossgoji]

Man, Taiga authorizes the HELL out of that.

[kingjamie2]

This was always my favourite part of any episode. Tiger's hot-blooded call to battle, the "KTTSSHHH-SHHH" sound of the various Gao Machines locking into place, the dynamic view of sparks flying as Liner Gao shoots through GaiGar's shoulders, the triumphant overture playing over it all more gloriously than all the orchestras and choirs of heaven itself...

All of it serves as an evocative, almost hypnotic command towards the child-like enthrallment one experienced in days gone by.

[HywelEd]

Your post brought man-tears of awesome to my eyes as I read it. I am humbled.

[MonarchoftheFen]

Or to put it another way:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOMGTAHTWASSOF­UCKINGAR!!!!!!!!!111!!111ELEVE­N

[TomEP3000]

I think I remember this.

[wreathofpalmaria]

I love this show.

[jzanj]

omg this video is awesome

[Socran]

The best part about Super Robot shows is the stock footage. They show the most awesome scenes over, and over, and over again, and they never get old. Final Fusion... Approved!

[ArkRiley]

You know stock footage is done right when it doesn't become old- it becomes iconic. Final Fusion is damn well one of the most iconic sequences from this, the most courageous series ever.

[GryphusLionheart]

@ArkRiley True. This never gets old, GaoGaiGar is one of the most iconic series ever made and lot of later series pay homenage to it in some way or another: Nanoha Strike Witches, Hayate no Gotoku, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Gaiking Leyend of Daiku Maryu, and the list is long....

[mephosto]

gaogaigar is great because it shows why nobody can just come in an mess up final fusion. then there was the win that was manual final fusion.

[Idolores]

Real Robot, Super Robot, what does it matter? Giant robots are bad-ass! That's all there is to it!

[daiyongo]

That's Yuusha, son!

[Ghebatta]

This scene is so lovely exaggerated.

[angelmutsumi]

I cried. Seriously.

Super robot always wins in my heart. :3

[tremor3258]

And the really odd thing about Pasdar is that the whole process got started as a basically a *really* high-tech version of an anti-stress drug.

[RykenInverse]

Gundam is alright, though it's VERY different from Golion/Voltron or GaoGaiGar. In short, Gundam shows tend to be more gritty war shows, with mecha used as soldiers rather than shining warriors of justice, and good and evil are rarely if ever outright defined. GaoGaiGar, on the other hand, is the exact opposite - the good guys are courageous heroes defending humanity from the twisted threat of very evil bad guys.

[KiraZeroYamato]

I wouldn't say the zonder are evil, so much as just totally twisted.

[RykenInverse]

Pazder knowingly inflicts harms on human beings without the slightest bit of remorse. While he doesn't do it for the sake of doing it, he certainly doesn't have any moral qualms about it. No purely evil, perhaps, but I'd say he veers more towards evil than neutral.

[Raugah006]

No, pure evil. He thinks that humans are a plague that should be smited. That's pure evil. ;)

[RykenInverse]

Then I'm pure evil, because I agree with him >.>

[operationoperation]

gundam is good ^^

[TheRottingCorpse]

Well, I have never been into Anime. But, I did pick up the Voltron dvd a week ago. I reamber watching that all the time as a kid. Would Gaogaigar be worth checking out if I like Voltron? I also hear that Gundam is good and that Gundamwing is a great show. What do you all think?

[tremor3258]

Gundam's been mentioned - but it's a big franchise, lot there to pick from.

But if you like Voltron - you'll like Gaogaigar. The King of Braves is very much a spiritual successor of 70s/early 80s super robots - of heroes fighting bravely against dire evil and coming through thanks to sheer courage and perseverence.

[RoxelOrgXIII]

I just love the way Guy can yell so much and sound so awesome.

[protomanxred]

The king of mecha...... GAO GAI GAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!! *EXPLOSION!

[operationoperation]

lol

[LordIzaak]

I hate it when the chick does that. Feels like that's the only thing she was meant to do, like some sort of fanservice.

[TrejoDuneSea]

Didn't you know? In her spare time, she smashes mirrors, tv screens, monitors...

[space4english]

are you serious?

[TrejoDuneSea]

Well, no, I was being facetious. :-P I bet it'd make for a good 4koma strip though!

[ghazghkull]

aww cmon man why couldn't you have used the fusion sequence from episode one? it's more cool.

o well, cheers ^^ Ja ne
