The GF13-009NF Gundam Rose is a Mobile fighter in the fictional anime Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Gundam Rose is the Gundam of Neo-France and piloted by French nobleman George de Sand. The Gundam Rose was one of two Gundams considered for the Gundam Fight. To determine which Gundam would go George de Sand faced against Jean Pierre Mirabeau and his Mirage Gundam. Mirabeau kept using the crowd as a shield and was disqualified. Mirabeau then fired on the crowd in what would be known as the Tragedy at Marseilles.

The Gundam first fought against the GF13-083NCB Arachno Gundam of Neo-Cuba. However Domon Kasshu and his GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam interfered in the match and disqualified the Arachno Gundam. Domon then fought against George but the match was a draw when their fight caused the Eiffel Tower to break apart and threatened the lives of Rain Mikamura and the princess of Neo-France, Marie Louise.

George was later infected with DG Cells and fought against Domon. He was freed by the Shuffle Alliance and became the new Jack of Diamonds.

George also went to train in the Guyana Highlands and fought against Mirabeau who had escaped from prison. Mirabeau had also become infected by DG Cells and his Gundam gained a several missile launchers. George defeated him and cured him of the DG cells.

While in the Guyana Highlands George mastered the Hyper Mode and created a new special attack, the Rose Hurricane. This move used the Gundam's Rose Bits to encircle an opponent and fire upon them. The move also prevented the enemy from destroying many of the Rose Bits due to their speed and space apart. Domon however, developed a move to counter this and defeated George.

During the battle royal on Lantau Island, George fought the Grand Gundam with the help of Chibodee Crocket. The Gundam was severely damaged but was repaired in time for the final battle against the JDG-00X Devil Gundam and the Grand Master Gundam.

[edit] Armaments/Abilities

The Gundam Rose has two head mounted head vulcans and a chevalier beam saber. The Gundam also has many Rose Bits which could fire energy blasts.

The Gundam Rose had two special attacks. The first was the Rose Screamer, which sends many Rose Bits after an opponent; he would be shot at by the lasers contained within the Bits. They could also form a shield around an opponent to keep them from moving.

The Rose Hurricane had the Rose Bits spin around the opponent keeping them from moving. They could also fire at the opponent causing damage to many areas. Attacking the Rose Bits however would be ineffective since they move very quickly. One could not destroy many of them before they take a lot of damage.

[edit] Design

The Gundam Rose's design is greatly based on Napoleon Bonaparte, complete with the hat and the cape covering one arm. The Gundam Rose also incorporates the fencing style, the French trademark fighting style.

The Rose Bits were influenced by the Bits and Funnels of many UC Mobile Suits, such as Sazabi and Nu Gundam.
