GF13-052NT Minaret Gundam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The GF13-052NT Minaret Gundam was a Mobile fighter from the anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam. In the US dub its name was changed to Scythe Gundam.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Minaret Gundam of Neo-Turkey was piloted by Saette Gyuzelle. Saette was the ex-boyfriend of Rain Mikamura. Their relationship ended when she had to return to Neo-Japan after the JDG-00X Devil Gundam escaped to Earth.

After Rain left, Saette became the Gundam FIghter for Neo-Turkey. During the Gundam Fight he fought against the Devil Gundam which had arrived in Istanbul. He was then infected with DG Cells which caused him to lose control and demolish the city. He hid his Gundam and went into hiding until he was found by Rain and Domon. She began treating him but he was discovered and forced to escape.

Saette got inside the Gundam and went wild again from the DG Cells. Domon fought against Saette but he did not have to defeat him, Rain spoke to him and got him to cease the attack.

Saette was cured of the DG Cells and later pardoned by the government. However he did not fight in the finals and it is assumed that Neo-Turkey withdrew from the fight or that the Minaret Gundam's head was destroyed in a later match. It could be possible it assisted the other gundams in the fight against the Devil Gundam when it overtook Neo-Japan.

[edit] Armaments/Abilities

The Minaret Gundam was very lightly armed with only a scimitar as a weapon. The scimitar has the ability to generate energy for more cutting power. The Gundam also had no abilities except for self-recovery after being exposed to DG Cells.
