GaoGaiGar v.s. Betterman novel: Prologue! (【予告】覇界王～ガオガイガー対ベターマン～/ [Prologue] King of Destruction- GaoGaiGar v.s. Betterman

Okay so this is a little unorthodox. But after hearing the GaoGaiGar sequel is continuing in novel form, I thought I had to at least translate something even if it's just a book.

Above the the cover for the 3rd book in the series coming later in June, but the rest up to it is on the website strangely enough, so I'm gonna try nmy best to translate it. So I'd figure I'd start with the prologue! I've added some images for dramatic effect.

Brave Command Dagwon Episode 04: Destroy The Ultimate Weapon!

Brave Command Dagwon Episode 04: Destroy The Ultimate Weapon!

Clawshrimpy here bringing you another episode of Dagwon, though sadly IMO this episode is kind of worse than the previous ones, but I'll spare you a rant here. Kai, Shin, and Yoku are successful in dealing with the tsunami, thanks to them using Juuren Gattai (Coupling Combination) to become Liner Dagwon (which Liner Dagwon is the only good part of this episode.) So a alien that psychically controls tops is causing problems, and for whatever reason, Shin had decided to be a massive asshole this episode, going on about how he doesn't like being ordered around by Kai and thinking Kai is just using him and Yoku when they become Liner Dagwon and getting himself trapped in the giant top. however it's eventually resolved and the day is saved, but not before finding a shitty way to end the episode. Oh well, maybe episode 5 will be better.

Brave Command Dagwon Episode 03: DagFire, Combat is Impossible!

Clawshrimpy here bringing you more Dagwon! In this episode a lovable slime monster called Gallon-seijin who only wants hugs arrives in the city, but it turns out the hugs sort of drain your life force. En finds this out the hard way when he gets slimed and ends up unconcious. The others try to track this thing down in a factory where they think they beat it, but then it gets even bigger, and with En not able to fight in his condition, Kai, Shin, and Yoku use Yuugou Gattai for the first time, becoming DagTurbo, DagArmor, and DagWing in order to deal with the slime. But something else is up as a top-shaped alien ship comes out of Sargasso and causes a tsunami.,,

Brave Command Dagwon Episode 02: The Airborne City Strategy!

Brave Command Dagwon Episode 02: The Airborne City Strategy!

Clawshrimpy here with Episode 02 of Dagwon! Antoid aliens called Zargoss-seijin come down from Sargasso in order to take up a chunk of the city with an anti-gravity generator, and what's worse, the other's don't exactly share En's enthusiasm about being Dagwons. Kai is annoyed this is getting pushed onto students and won't have a part in it, Shin is too god damn busy trying to get a girlfriend, and Yoku... Yoku actually kinda has an understandable reason to want to stay away, since he just doesn't want to fight. Ryu well... is being Ryu. The others eventually come to their senses and duck out of class to help out. But then the Zargoss-seijins pull out their ship and robot, But then the Fire Jumbo arrives and DagFire combines with it and it's stored support vehicle parts and combines into Fire Dagwon! Also En is rude to an old groundskeeper all episode, but then ends up buried in schoolwork because said old man is, in fact, the principal.

NEW FANSUB PROJECT: BRAVE COMMAND DAGWON

That's right, [ClawSubs] was not a one off guys, I'm coming back into the fansubbing game by subbing another Brave show, The Brave Command Dagwon!

The Brave Command Dagwon aired in 1996, and was the Brave show that came directly before GaoGaiGar. It aired for 48 episodes, and had a short 2-episode OVA called The Boy With Crystal Eyes.

Dagwon is... very different, it was something of an odd experiment. It bares very little in common with the other brave shows, and draws more from things like Ultraman and Super Sentai. But just because it's different does not mean it's bad, just a bit of an unfortunate black sheep because they wanted to try something different.

Although I think generally speaking it's kinda heavily flawed and there are definitely things about it I do not like, and thus I think it's still very inferior to the show that came around a year later, I will say that it's probably better than most of the rest of the Brave shows, I can tell you in my opinion it's way better done than both Da Garn and J-Decker put together. There are assholish problematic characters I hate, but unlike say, Da Garn, because of the Sentai approach, there are characters I like that serve as great foils for the unlikable characters in the cast. However it does have major flaws due to the episodic nature of the plot. (theres no huge world building, subplots, and thought-provoking mythos like GGG) but instead it focuses on the lives of these characters and how they have to deal with the task of fighting random aliens of the week while still managing their high school lives.

Dagwon is notable because it's soundtrack is the second best soundtrack in the Brave series, (it's so good music from it got reused in GGG, which already had the best soundtrack) and it was incredibly popular among women due to it's slight fangirl appeal. (which was played up a bit in the OVA, much like how the popularity with otaku was played up in GGG FINAL.... for better and worse.)

So, I hope you'll check it out!

By the way, my previous completed project, GaoGaiGar GRAND GLORIOUS GATHERING, made it onto bakabt if you still want to watch that

Anyway, the first Dagwon release will be coming soon!

GaoGaiGar GRAND GLORIOUS GATHERING Episode 12: Mythology! (Grand Finale)

GaoGaiGar GRAND GLORIOUS GATHERING Episode 12: Mythology!

Well everyone, here it is, the final episode of GaoGaiGar GRAND GLORIOUS GATHERING. The final battle draws to a close and things wrap up. I don't want to say any more than that because... The ending really is something special. That's why the screen I took is just the title. There were definitely points while translating this that I broke down in tears. Now that it's all over, I want to thank you all for being patient and for coming on this journey with me. It means so much to me that I was not only able to complete this, but for all the kind words other fans have sent me, It really means a lot, you guys.
