So, what is this exactly? http://www.yatate.net/gaogaigar/h

Looks like some kind of novel where Mamoru and Arma have been drawn in Code Geass 'noodle' style.

The title is 'Gaogaigar vs Betterman'

>>15593023
They were always noodle people

>>15593023
They have the same character design as Code Geass but that was always the case. Not CLAMP, the other guy.

>>15592814
I see the name Yatate Hajime there, isn't that one of the Animators at Sunrise?

>>15593161
Yatate Hajime = Sunrise

Found this on Twitter, but I can't read moon runes

The Shrimp must be denied his happiness. This must be stopped.

Are they turning Project Z into a series of novels?

>>15593120
>the other guy
Takahiro Kimura, friend.

>>15593332
That's pretty much it.

>>15592814
So will the GGG finally get back to Earth?

>>15593583
Gai is back on earth, most of the crew are back on earth, Renais is on Earth but has gone insane.
The GGG robots are now working for the enemy, Mikoto now Zonuda also works for the enemy. Dead Zonda robots are back working for the enemy as well.

>>15593670

What other interesting developments are there?

>>15593685
Gai got to sit at big order room instead of going to battle. Mamoru and Kaidou are now waiting for the special Neuronoid to counter enemies' attack.
Mamoru and Hana has a kid (pending).

>>15594181
Because this
>>>15593670 >>15593692
is fake.

The Novel is about Mamoru helping the new Gutsy Galaxy Guards and taking the mantel of the King of Braves but now has to handle issues with the cast of Betterman. Gai and the original GGG are not around at all

>>15594167
>Crossing over GGG with a series that does not even begin to resemble it
It was never going to be good anyway, I have no idea what the obsession the creator has with combining a silly kid's toy commercial with a psychological horror

>>15594217
To create a silly psychological toy commercial horror

>>15594201
Where exactly are you?
Chapter 21 has Soldato J holding back Triple Zero for Gai to escape back to Earth
Chapter 22 with Lamia decided to fight Triple Zero, but first need to defeat Gai because Gai has led Triple Zero to Earth.
Chapter 23 talks about Neuronoid V2 is somewhat special, and now got stolen by UN's organization NEO.
Chapter 24 and 25 with Gai fights Lamia, Maroru and Kaidou fighting a bunch of Zonders, detection of Mikoto near Earth, and Mic Sounders the 13th showing up at the end as the Triple Zero's first warrior against everybody.

>>15594201

FUCKING HERESY

Gai is the only King of Braves, not that little shit face.

>>15594269
How are the Zonders still around? Is that Triple Zero's doing?

>>15593161

Yonetani can't resist having SUFFERING in his shows when no one else is watching him, as evidenced by Brigadoon. It's a wonder that Dororon Enma-Kun Meerameera turned out as lighthearted as it did.

I mean, his directorial debut was by adapting Laughing Salesman of all things.

>>15593670
Jesus this is Frozen Teardrop level of fanfiction.

>>15595168
I'm working on the first chapter now, though it is told from an odd first-person perspective. (It has to do with what 3G was doing in the collapsing ES Space after having sent Mamoru and Kaidou back home. I figure it's being told from the perspective of one of the 3G crew that's there.)

>>15594587
> something raijin-oh related
The hell?! How canon is this?! Looks like normal Raijin-Oh gets a non-God upgrade.

It's essentially called Jyaku Empire's Counterattack.

Here you go, hope you enjoy them. Looks like it's a mix of the Queen of Leo novel and a novelized version of FINAL.

By the way, if possible, you might want to check out the GaoGaiGar audio dramas if you haven't already as those apparently take place in between episodes. I guess kinda like Blockaded Numbers, but in audio form.

It would be cool if /m/ Subs (or anyone else) could do that one, at least.

>>15595169
It doesn't help that they got the Final writer for this. Why they didn't get Gobu Fuyunori, I have no clue, the guy hasn't worked on anything since he got involved with Votoms: Phantom Arc.

What cast? They all fucking died at the end of their own show.

Seriously how is the kaiju with the power of "vaporize everything and is impossible to damage" not just instantly winning this manner of fight? Christ.

Not really....

The main Duo lives.
Betterman lives.
Lizard Girl lives.
The Corporation that they work for is mostly in business with most of the crew members still in tact; otherwise GaoGaiGo wouldn't be built.

Only the sub duo and possibly the researcher dies, but that's it.

One question: Is Victorion an upgrade to Saber Varion, or does that work a different way?

100KB, 1000x725px

>>15608056
2 different things.
Anything worked with MotoVarion was an artificial temporary fix due the power restriction.
When Varion got released from MotoVarion its getting back to his true self.

Mic Sounders 13 is now being called Hakai Mic.
Mamoru is able to communicate with Mic. Mic still retains his memory of GGG, and his days with the crew. He is just different.
Akamatsu and Yang at Orbital Base explained the differences between Zondarian and Zero Robo, also the Follower of Hakai.
Those with G Stone and J Jewel will not become Zondarian and Zero Robo, but are not immute from turning into Follow of Hakai.
GGG Green. Those who have once sworn to protect Earth are not going to destroy it by their own will. To save the universe by destroying Human civilization.
Usiyama team are trying to find a way to undo the changes.
Mamoru and Kaidou fights Mic with Gaogaigou.
Mic somehow can predict Gaogaigou's attack. Akamatsu thinks there are GGG Green survivors now working for the Hakai side, and provide Mic with supports.
Other new gen GGG robots are fighting with Zondar robots. Mic is going use Disc X against Gaogaigou.
Lamia comes to the rescue in Betterman Nebra form. Solitary Wave vs Psycho Voice.
Chapter ends with a huge explosion.

from what I knew MotoVarion was a non-fully developed A.I. that served as a interface module for Shizuma to combine with the other vehicles, that eventually became fully sentient and getting upgraded to Varion which combines with the Space Shuttle (with Shizuma still inside) which later becomes Galaxion when they unleash their full potential.

>>15608336
Varion was being sealed inside MotoVarion. MotoVarion was never its original form. It's just a host.
Put it this way. Victorion the Warrior of the Universe is the original complete form, and Varion is the core. It got powered down and was sealed inside MotoVarion.
At that time Sizuma didn't have the power to use it at full anyway so that was fine. When Sizuma regained his apheta Varion also became strong enough to break free to become itself again.

con't >>15608365
and Varion is from a different fraction (not Baangaan Braves), and not Earth "A.I".

All the Bettermen that aren't Lamia are dead.

Mr. Akamatsu and his daughter were last seen at sea in an area in quarantine, and his daughter was half dead, so they're probably dead.

Shou and Kaede died.

Asami is very, very dead.

Chandi didn't die, but she fucked off to god knows where with Shou and Kaede's kid.

Yakasugi's obviously dead.

The only other characters known to be alive are the main duo and maybe those two workers that never left.

>>15610025
>Didn't check the damn site: >>15594612
Mr. Akamatsu's still alive and became head director of GGG.

Though it make sense that some time Sakura did pass away due to her condition.

But I really wish Chanda came back with Shou and Kaede's kid.

Plus, it's a shame that Keita quits the team after the time skip.

>>15610046
>>15610025
IIRC the audio drama that originally announced Project Z referred to Sakura as still being in a coma a couple years after Betterman. I haven't got around to reading the new novel yet, so I don't know if that still holds true. It seems to have changed some other things from the original outline like everyone being older.

>>15610538
I think they kinda rearrange it to throw in the fact that it was cancelled back then, only for it to be rebooted as a LN 10 years later.

GOLDION BUMPER!!!!

>>15612336
BUUUUUUMPER HELL!
BUUUUUUMPER HEAVEN!

Also, related question: In some of the Brave-related video games, some mechs from Dougram, VOTOMS, Gorg, Galient, Samurai Troopers, Granzort, and the Eldorans (and some series that I either can't recognize or was made for the GBC game) are on the covers and are units in-game. Are they part of the plot or just there because cameos? If the former's the case, then I'm legitimately curious about if Chirico shows up in the Brave Saga manga or not...

>>15593023

They are like the cameos in SRW, kinda shoved into the plot for a few episodes. That being said, they do not appear in the Brave Saga manga only characters from the Brave franchise appear in it.

Become the BUMP!

As much a it pains me to see that Takeda is going to crap on GaoGaiGar AGAIN, I think we as a fandom should take this opportunity to show Sunrise and TakaraTomy that there's interest in the franchise.

Maybe in the long run we might get to get a decent revival.

>>15619045
Not if this is what we get, no

>>15619153
Hopefully there'll be either an Anime or Manga to come out of this; but until then, it's safe as a LN.

Shoryu is lucky enough for them to revisit the project and work on it after FINAL.
Churyu only gets the AI done, and became the control system of the unmanned ship Yupitos. With the help of The Power it gains its own ego without the need of a G Stone.
Too bad both got contaminated by Triple Zero. Yupitos got destroyed and Shoryu got bolted down.
Nichiryu and Getsuryu can't even symmetrical-dock due to their personalities.

That reminds me, a few months ago I saw this fanart on Twitter, at the time I didn't realize it was meant to be Shoryu until I saw the kanjis

I read that Nichiryu and Getsuryu transform into some sort of container trucks, is this true?
