GF13-011NC Dragon Gundam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TheGF13-011NC Dragon Gundam was a Mobile fighter from the anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam.
The Dragon Gundam was piloted by young Shaolin martial artist Sai Saici of Neo-China. The Gundam was captured by thieves shortly after it landed but Sai Saici was able to recover the Gundam with help from Domon Kasshu of Neo-Japan.
Sai Saici would later be stalked by Dahal Muhammed, a Gundam Fight champion from the 3rd tournament who was killed By Sai Saici's grandfather, Sai Feilong, during the 4th tournament. After Sai Feilong beheaded Dahal's Gundam the cockpit also exploded killing Dahal. Dagal was mummified and was revived by DG Cells. Sai Saici and Domon were able to defeat Dahal after learning the truth.
Sai Saici was brainwashed by the Devil Gundam and attacked Domon. He was later freed by one of the members of the Shuffle Alliance and gained the shuffle crest Ace of Clubs.
Sai Saici then followed Domon to the Guyana Highlands to train. While there he fought Argo Gulskii in a Gundam Fight match after it was believed he attacked the Neo-Russia camp. It was later learned after the match that the actual culprits were disguised Death Army mobile suits.
Sai Saici made it to the Finals in Neo-Hong Kong and fought against Domon. He had mastered his hyper mode while in the Guyana Highlands and was able to use the ultimate Shaolin attack, the Shin Ryuusei Kochouken. Even though the Shin Ryuusei Kochoken was a kamakaze move Sai could use it without dying thanks to the Hyper Mode.
The Dragon Gundam was severely damaged when Sai Saici and Argo Gulskii fought the Gundam Heaven's Sword during the battle royal. However the Gundam was repaired in time for the final fight against the JDG-00x Devil Gundam and the Grand Master Gundam.
[edit] Abilities/Armaments
The Dragon Gundams arms were called Dragon Claws and could take the form of a dragon's head and neck. They could extend for a great distance and also contained flame throwers. For melee weapons the Dragon Gundam had twelve Feilong Flags which could be used to distract an opponent and draw its attention away from the Gundam itself. They could also be used to trap an opponent leaving them open to attack. The braid on the Gundam's head also had a bladed tip called Benpatto. The Benpatto could be used to sever or destroy the head of an enemy Gundam.
[edit] Trivia
- The Dragon Gundam has a noted resemblance to the Shenlong Gundam and Altron Gundam from the anime Gundam Wing. It was attributed to the fact that the Dragon, Shenlong, and Altron Gundams have dragon claws on their hands, and also armed with flamethrowers (Though the OVA version of Altron does not feature flamethrowers). Also, the Dragon, Shenlong, and Altron Gundams are meant for close-quarters combat and have a Chinese-style motif. As a matter of fact, both Sai Saici and Chang Wufei were Chinese. However, both are different in personality, as Sai is a happy-go-lucky guy, and Wufei is a serious loner.
- The Dragon Gundam was the first Gundam introduced to the series that managed to fight the Shining Gundam to a draw.
