[edit] Grand Glorious Gathering
Starting in April of 2005, a twelve episode "re-imagining" of the series, "The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Final -Grand Glorious Gathering-", aired on TV in Japan. Due to the different running lengths of the OVA versus the space allowed on TV, the episodes were re-edited and spread across those twelve episodes. Footage from the original TV series and new voice recordings were used to fill in the allotted time, as well as new footage which almost exclusively serves to further establish a connection between GaoGaiGar and the anime series "Betterman," which takes place in the same world and setting. Several incidences of nudity found in the OVA were also censored or omitted.
[edit] The Reign of the GaoGaiGars
Featured in GaoGaiGar Final are new variations of Galeon, GaiGar, and GaoGaiGar because Mamoru and Galeon have taken off into space with Star GaoGaiGar and the Zonder are still about. In one of the episodes from this OVA Guy and Mamoru face off in a battle, Guy uses his newly upgraded GaoFighGar to fight off Star GaoGaiGar, in the end both of them were forced to use the trademark finisher "Hell and Heaven" however Guy lost the battle to Mamoru, but thanks to Guy's courage things turned around and he defeated Mamoru however Guy did not kill him. In fact, Mamoru rejoined Guy's side and helped him with the Zonders.
[edit] The Ultimate Combination
Towards the end of the OVA Guy loses GaoFighGar and requires Galeon along with some new gao machines. These machines are as follows.
Protect Gao - A Dolphin type machine that becomes the left arm. Broken Gao - A Shark type machine that becomes the right arm. Straight Gao - A mole type machine that becomes the right leg. Spiral Gao - Another mole type machine that becomes the left leg. Gadget Gao - A great bird type machine that becomes the wings of GaoGaiGar.
The two mole's are referred to as brothers, Straight Gao is refered to as the oldest of the two.
Also thanks to this new form of GaoGaiGar, Guy is now able to use the Goldion Crusher, where the GGG armada forms a giant version of the Goldion Hammer.
