This is the start of the final Scene in the game, "The Final Battle".

Last time, the gang attacked the Superhuman Federation HQ. Altis and Seeme are dead, Mizar is desperate, and Fernando has gone AWOL out of pure rage.

Image
Our first location brings us off the shore of Japan.

Image
The Argama, while searching for Fernando, accidentally stumbles across Mizar's army. Shall we press the attack?

Image
Chapter 28 (7-1): The Manipulated

Image
Image It seems they haven't noticed us yet.
Image What's the plan?
Image We put an end to his schemes.
Image A very good idea! But isn't he smart?
Image Yeah! Yeah!
Image He is… But petty tricks won't work now. Besides, he has no pawns left.
Image Understood. Start up the battleships and scramble!

Image
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Wild Dance of the Machine God

Image
Deploy the troops! There are 15 slots. I'm using Trowa, Van, Shou, Jimmy, Folka, Duo, Hyoma, Marvel, Ryoma, Kaede, Tatsuya, Koji, Amuro, Nie, and Keita.

Image
Image What!? Where did they come from!?
Image I don't know!
Image Weren't you supposed to be looking out for them!?
Image My apologies.
Image Of course the Argama had to find us while we're looking for Fernando…
Image Mizar! It's time to end this!
Image Don't be ridiculous! Do you really think I can be beaten by someone like you?
Image Taste my brother's regrets and the rage of everyone you trampled upon in Hell!

Image
A standard kill 'em all map. Make your way across the water to the island where Mizar and his troops are stationed. We've fought the Shura enough at this point to know how inconsequential the grunts are. Your battleship of choice makes a fine ferry for any land-locked units.

Image
Here's Mizar and his Shura God, the Glasyalabolas. It's far stronger than any of the Shura Gods we've encountered so far, so perhaps Folka will need a bit of help taking it down.

Said help arrives at the start of turn 2.

Image
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - One Who Walks the Path of Strong-Fisted Supremacy
Image Found you… Time to die!
Image Fernando! Wake up already!!
Image Hehehe… My plans may have gone awry, but at least I'm still alive. Everyone, kill Folka or die trying!
Image Sir!
Image Why are you in such a… I see. He's coming, isn't he?
Image Hehehe. I don't know who you're talking about.
Image That's enough!

Image
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Wild Dance of the Machine God
Image Altis the Flash's regrets embody my icy spear! Strategist… No. Mizar! Prepare to pay with your life!
Image Maysis! I thought you were dead… Damn you, Altis! You tricked me!
Image Folka, the Shura King is on his way here.
Image I knew it.
Image Are you…getting in my way…? I'll kill you too!
Image Fernando… Hold still.

Image
Image What was that for!?
Image It's okay. He should be back to his senses. If not, then…
Image Heh. My spell won't be broken that easily.
Image Are you sure about that? You've been wrong before.
Image What did you hit him with?
Image It's a potent drug that cures ailments of the mind.

Image
Image Guh… Folka… Maysis…
Image Fernando! Are you yourself again?
Image Yes. It was like a long nightmare…composed of pure hatred… But my brother…
Image You need to rest. You're still in considerable pain, aren't you?
Image I'm fine. This is nothing compared to the grief of losing my brother and my hatred towards Mizar.
Image Fernando…
Image Folka… I have nothing to say to you.
Image What nonsense. I'll tear you all to pieces!!
Image The only one who's going to die is you, Mizar!!
Image There's a place waiting for you in Hell.

ImageImage
Fernando and Maysis have joined as uncontrollable NPC allies. They're in no danger of dying, even against Mizar. Just try not to let them steal any kills. Mattman has this to say about them:

Yeah, that's Shinka Valefor, not the basic one, ignore its ingame name! It's significantly less busted than the Peirines and Fernando lacks Support Defend, and has worse stats overall. But 14000 HP, 2500 Armor, 170 Mobility, and moves that mimic Ialdabaoth's without the 1 range move in the middle mean it's still really solid.

Can anyone tell me why this thing has a fucking Cartridge, though?

The Peirines has 175 base mobility, 8 base movement, 27000 base HP, and 2700 base armor? And its only part to contribute to that is a Beam Field? Yeah, this thing ain't joining permanently. I will give credit to Maysis and the machine for both having Mobility that lives up to that and Limit that actually functions, and even if Maysis doesn't have spirits she DOES come with a free level in the Supports. Although her best move is that absurdly powerful 1 range move so who knows if you can use it... then again, unless you're anywhere close to max upgrades, her weakest move being 3700 is honestly good enough to get support from.


No one has any words for Mizar. Take him out to beat the chapter.

Image
Image Impossible… I've been defeated… Me… By scum like them…
Image You'll atone for the sins of toying with people's minds in Hell.
Image If only you weren't here… If only you didn't give him those orders… Altis wouldn't have had to die!
Image Don't be stupid… If you weren't here… My dream… My ambition… Ahahahaha! I can see it… My kingdom… My ideals… Long live Mizar the Great! UOOOOOOOOOH!
[Mizar explodes]
Image Mizar… Only the damned in Hell will praise you.
Image Folka… I'm so sorry… I only understood how you felt after losing Altis…
Image It's all right. It's over now, Fernando…
Image I will make sure Altis' will is seen through. Folka, the battle ahead of you will be harsh.
Image I will fight alongside you, Brother. We must prevent this sorrow from spreading… We will create a new Shura Realm!
Image Captain Bright, will you allow him to fight alongside us?
Image I don't see why not. This is what he wants.
Image That's right. Besides, this is your chance to be siblings again!
Image Yeah! Bright, you don't have any objections, do you?
Image Koji, Judau, Leina… Thank you.
Image So this is what it's like to have comrades, huh…
Image May I accompany you as well?
Image Of course. Looking forward to working with you.
Image That won't be happening!

Image
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - The Law of Shura
Image I will not forgive traitors who collude with outsiders to destroy my people!!
Image The Shura King!
Image T-that's the Shura King!?
Image I can feel his presence in my very core!
Image What terrible timing!
Image If only we weren't exhausted…
Image I never thought you of all people would betray me.
Image Shura King! I now realize that the Shura will perish if things don't change. We must change as a people! Plus, Mizar had to pay for what he did.
Image I agree that his methods were in poor taste, but that doesn't matter. It must not matter.
Image But because of him, General Altis lost his life!
Image That just proves how weak he was.
Image Weak!? You claim Lord Altis was weak!?
Image So you believe that Mizar's actions were justified?
Image The ends justify the means. As a Shura, his ambition served my purpose. Thanks to him, both this and the other worlds are in chaos.
Image No…
Image The only things that are unforgivable are your weak fists, having forgotten the Shura way of life!
Image But doesn't the fact we killed him prove that we're in the right?
Image It seems you've lost your Shura souls ever since coming to this world. I will bury you myself!
Image Dammit! I won't let you!

Image
Image You dare strike me? At least you have guts. Shame your weak fists won't even scratch me!
Image Folka! You need to run now!
Image As you are now, you won't stand a chance!
Image The same goes for you!
Image Elle Humm, we need to retreat.
Image But Lady Ciela!
Image Are you going to let their hopes go to waste?
Image I'm staying!
Image If you are, then so am I!
Image Like hell you are! Go now! The Shura King will find a worthy foe in my icy spear!
Image But…
Image Folka… You are Altis' hope. I can't let you die here. Trust me, Folka. You will succeed.

Image
Image Don't get cold feet now, Folka. I'm leaving the rest to you…

Image
Image Maysis! Fernando!
Image Come on, let's dance!

Image
Image Sorry about this! Detain Folka! We're leaving this airspace!
Image Wait! I can't leave them!!
Image Are you sure about this?
Image Heh… Folka won't ever forgive us for doing this.
Image Doing this means trusting Folka that he'll follow through… It is what it is.
Image I have no regrets either! You face us, Shura King!
Image That's the spirit! At least die like a Shura!!
Image (Altis… I'll see you soon…)
Image (Folka… I believe in you…)

ImageImage

Image
Image Fernando… Maysis… I will avenge you! You'll never leave my heart…
Image Folka… I'm sorry I couldn't save them.
Image It's not your fault. If only I had the power… The power to defeat the Shura King…
Image But thanks to you, Fernando and Maysis finally understood the power to care for others.
Image That's the strongest power of all.
Image If you live in regret, you'll never repay their hopes.
Image Tetsuya…
Image Don't kick yourself so much.
Image You're right. I can't look back. For Fernando's, Maysis' and Altis' sake, I will defeat the Shura King, Alkaid.
Image We still have enemies left to face. I'm sorry to ask this of you, but will you continue to help us?
Image The answer should be obvious. You have my fist.
Image Thank you, Folka.
Image Let's summarize everything that's left.
Image Right. Our remaining enemies are…
Image …Congistar's flying fortress…
Image …Drake's Army with its three battleships…
(TL Note: The third battleship is Shot's Spriggan.)
Image …And Professor Mamon's Superhuman Federation.
Image Three forces left…
Image I see. We still lack vital information.
Image We'll need to gather that, then. Noin, could you help us?
Image Of course. Leave it to the Preventers.

Image
Image Altis… Maysis… Magnaz… Fernando… Mizar… Rest in peace. Had we remained in the Shura Realm, your ambitions could have been easily fulfilled… Your lives have been lost due to my own weakness. If only I were stronger, I wouldn't have led you all astray… But I am the Shura King! I admit no wrongdoing! I offer no apologies! Nor do I seek forgiveness! I shall simply smash through every obstacle with my fists and press onward! Bear witness to the end! Witness the final battle of Alkaid Naash, the Shura King!
Image Your Majesty! What are your orders?
Image Right… Let all surviving Shura remain here on standby. Bear witness to my battle!
Image Your Majesty, we cannot obey that command.
Image What!?
Image We shall live as Shura and die as Shura. Allow us to accompany you.
Image Heh… Do as you please.

Image
Image Mr. Akamatsu, a package has arrived with your name on it.
Image What's in that massive box?
Image Oh, it's from my old man in America. I commissioned it about six months ago, but goddamn, he finished it way ahead of schedule.
Image Come to think of it, isn't your father a scientist?
(TL Note: The man they're referring to is Raiga Shishioh from GaoGaiGar. Betterman and GaoGaiGar share the same setting, but that's only explained in the side material and expanded upon in GaoGaiGar vs Betterman.)
Image It appears to be a support module for the Neuronoids that combines a flight propulsion unit and a Linker Gel dialysis system.
Image That sounds really cool!
Image 90% of this glianoid works in conjunction with Neuronoids.
Image So even non-Dual-Kinds like me can pilot them?
Image The fact that there's a dialysis system also means there's no activity time limit, so we can fire as many Synapse Attacks as we want!
Image Yeah! Hopefully this'll make the final battles a bit easier.

Image
Image (I knew Medusa would end up being a defective cyborg. Even with all of our scientific prowess, we couldn't control a Ganymede body completely, due to their unique characteristics. But Emperor Hedron's plan failed. Medusa and Mechander were meant to take each other out, but only Medusa fell in the end!)
Image Listen up! It was the accursed Mechander Robo that killed the trustworthy and great General Medusa! Now is the time to utterly destroy that machine and achieve General Medusa's wish of dominating Earth!
Image That's right! We'll conquer everything!!
Image We'll avenge General Medusa!
Image If we work together, we can conquer Earth in a single day! Prepare for a full-scale invasion!
Image Hedora!

Image
Image Noin, did you learn anything?
Image First, regarding Drake's Army, it seems the Will Whipps is definitely heading towards the Pacific Ocean.
Image But they're going slower than expected, right?
Image Does Drake have some kind of plan?
Image We must destroy the Gyre Garing before it can join up with the Will Whipps.
Image Next, regarding the Congistar Army, it seems the enemy's flying fortress is searching for us as they head towards North America.
Image It seems they wish to settle things with us.
Image The only unknown is the Superhuman Federation. People have disappeared from both their HQ and branch offices, so we haven't been able to gather any information.
Image Hitomi, can you use your dowsing to find them?
Image I tried, but they're more powerful than I am.
Image I can't do it either. Sakura, what about you?
Image On the sea… An artificial island… Shaped like a diamond…
Image Isn't that…
Image Ah crap.
Image A diamond-shaped island…
Image ModeWarp's Headquarters!?
Image We must hurry. They'll destroy ModeWarp!
Image Destroy?
Image Is it that serious?
Image ModeWarp's HQ was originally a seafloor methane mining base. Their plan is to detonate the massive stockpile of methane hydrates, which will lead to the headquarters being destroyed in a massive explosion.
Image That's their plan?
Image As we speak, the EFF is preparing to carry out a bombing raid on ModeWarp. That's their usual MO in dealing with contaminated or other "problem" facilities.
Image By contaminated, you mean…
Image They've concluded that every single staff member at ModeWarp HQ is infected by Algernon.
Image Can't we tell them that they're making a huge mistake?
Image That would be pointless. We run the risk of being silenced right along with them.
Image But why would Mamon be at ModeWarp HQ?
Image Brahman seeks to evolve into the ultimate human.
Image But to achieve this perfect form, another ritual is required.
Image Drive Inspection. It was an experiment conducted seven years ago to become the Best Man. Mamon intends to recreate the experiment using the Betterman's DNA.
Image And the equipment needed for that is…
Image …Still at ModeWarp.
Image So this is a trap to lure in the Betterman.
Image Everyone… Listen to me… If the Betterman disappears… Humanity will die… The Betterman is trying to eliminate the source of Algernon…
Image Can you be more specific?
Image I don't know anything more than that, but…
Image It doesn't matter who gets in our way. We must hurry.

This is the last selection of the game. Also, the Kakuseijin and Tyran can now seat a third pilot, and both Asami and Akamatsu can be chosen as pilots. Make sure you get this set up before the stage begins. I put Akamatsu in the Kakuseijin and Sakura in the Tyran.

Last time, Mizar was defeated and the Shura King took to the stage. We've got some loose ends to clear up.

Image
Our next location is ModeWarp.

Image
The Superhuman Federation is at ModeWarp HQ. We must settle this before their plan comes to fruition. Are you ready for battle?

Image
Chapter 29 (7-2): Algernon

Image
Begin by selecting your battleship and 12 units. Despite being the Betterman finale, you don't need to bring either Neuronoid. I'm using the Gran Garan, Jimmy, Marvel, Kaede, Hyoma, Amuro, Ryoma, Duo, Shou, Nie, Koji, Folka, and Tatsuya.

Image What is this place?
Image Is this where they store all the Linker Gel?

Image
Image I'm amazed you made it this far.
Image Professor Mamon!
Image Please try not to contaminate the Linker Gel. It would be a waste of the thousands of corpses sleeping beneath.
Image You're already infected…
Image Hahaha. For those infected by Algernon, it's a survival instinct to commit mass murder.
Image How is murder a survival instinct?
Image Algernon is not a disease or a phenomenon, but a DNA program. A program to create a revolutionary form of life by harnessing a spirit energy released from a whole lot of corpses.
Image Why do you have to create a revolutionary form of life?
Image In order to gain a power even greater than that of Kankel.

Image
Image
Image Hahaha. The Betterman has finally appeared. I've been waiting for you.
Image The power behind everything…
Image Lamia…
Image I cannot gain a greater power than Kankel's without your homeobox genes. By combining with the optical metamer that is your body, the hybridization process will be completed.
Image Hybridization process?
Image L-type and D-type. Yin and Yang. The two amino acids that were separated billions of years ago will come together and evolve into a perfect lifeform.
Image What!?
Image You're wrong. It's because they're separate that they can coexist. A perfect body, such that of Kankel, is the root of the evil power that denies the existence of others.
Image Shut up! Even though you use an Animus flower as an intermediary, how could a man-eating Betterman understand the suffering of humanity! BRAHMAN!!

Image
Image Hahaha!
Image It's coming…
Image Something is approaching us!
Image This ID signal… It's Blossom, the latest combat Neuronoid!

Image
[Enemies spawn all over the map]
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Kaze ~Turbo~
Image I was careless. I didn't think the Blossoms were operational.
Image You have no chance of winning!
Image You think you can beat the Betterman?
Image I know I can. Now transform, Betterman! The sleep that you go into after your transformation is your greatest weakness! With all the other Bettermen gone, you have no choice but to fight on your own! You can die while dreaming happily. Would you like to die happy, or shall I tear you apart?
Image I won't lose!

Image
Image Forte!
Image He's starting at his strongest?
Image Back them up!

Firstly, we got some upgrades.

ImageImageImageImage
The Kakuseijin and Tyran got upgrades after the last stage. Mattman has this to say about them:

Now, these are worth talking about, because unlike Mechander's upgrades, these are actually RELEVANT. Kakuseijin and Tyran get 200 more HP, like 15 more base EN, 5 more base Mobility, 2 more base movement, 5 more base Limit, and 200 more power on the only attack for their AP forms. They also gain Flight, which is true of both forms. The only thing different about the AV form is that now they have lower base EN... until you upgrade them, after which they snap to the AV's EN? Goddamn bugs. The AV form also gets 200 more power on its Melee, 100 more power on the Synapse Attacks, and crucially a new finisher - Kakuseijin gets Synapse Dangeki Full Power, while Tyran gets Twin Synapse Dangeki. Tyran's is 1-3 P as opposed to Kakuseijin's 1 non-P, but in exchange for that it's also 10 EN costlier... which is barely a downside.

There is another advantage however. Both of these units unlock a third pilot slot, and with them, you can put in any single pilot for the machines, as well as one of a new pair that can only be in the third pilot slot. Kakuseijin gets Shigeru Akamatsu, who provides decent combat Spirits (but not Valor, sadly), while Tyran can't stop winning and gets Asami Miyako, who's a good support pilot.

These upgrades are huge even if they aren't exactly perfect, and make these units absolute monsters to an even greater degree.


ImageImage
Welcome to the Betterman finale! On this huge map, there are a bunch of enemy Neuronoids with Brahman at the center. Besides the boss, the only thing to worry about are the turret-like Blossom Neuronoids. They're equipped with Fluid Armor, which nullifies all attacks that deal less than 1500 damage. The other Neuronoids exist only to be annoying, so start heading south and beat up Mamon. The Linker Gel terrain around the center is surprisingly good for grounded units, so take full advantage of that.

ImageImage
Brahman is here and he's just the same as he was a few stages ago. He's strong, but otherwise has no notable gimmicks. Plus, Betterman Forte is here to help. You shouldn't be having any problems at this stage of the game, so beat him down.

The plot continues when Brahman is defeated.

Image
Image Everything is going according to the Akashic Records… Hehehe… The Best Man is coming…
[Mamon explodes]
Image It's great that Mamon's dealt with, but does that mean Algernon is gone?

Image
Image Young ones… Stop the source…
Image Old man, you're still alive.
Image Only the water of Lake Poopó in Peru could quell the killer inside of me… However, that water has lost most of its purity… Humanity's destruction of nature has unleashed the Kankel within me. Stripped of my memories, I was guided here by the flow of Chakra… But in truth, this serves as nothing more than the prelude to Kankel's ultimate goal, the extermination of all life.
(TL Note: Lake Poopó is in Bolivia, not Peru.)
Image Who or what is Kankel?
Image Humans sought to create cells that would never perish… Yet death is merely the catalyst for evolution into new life. In the end, humanity rejected its path forward.
Image They could not bear the terror of aging! Humans craved an evolution into an ageless immortality, a state transcending the very concept of a finite lifespan. Behold the result!

Image
Kohei Tanaka - Kaze ~Turbo~
Image That's the thing that took down the lady Betterman, Lume!
Image Why are you attacking the Bettermen!?
Image
Image It's because the Bettermen are the antibodies that protect humanity… Kankel knows that if the Bettermen perish, so too will mankind.
Image Sakura?

Image
Image Impossible… Forte was destroyed in a single blow!
Image Lamia… It's not over…
Image I no longer possess the strength to take Vivele…
Image Surely you haven't forgotten, have you? The Forte that you have in your hand…
Image Forte alone…cannot defeat Kankel…
Image When our Fortes are fused…something else is born…
Image Oltos…
Image Do you think you have what it takes to handle Oltos?
Image The only way to find out is to use it…
Image If the will to fight still remains within you, rise. Rise so that the flame of hope may not be extinguished… Lamia.
Image Seeme, guide me towards a new beginning! UOOOOOOOOOOH!

Image
※-mai- - Chin ~Requiem~
(TL Note: It doesn't actually play here, but when else am I going to link it. The song's a banger)
Image We Somnium maintain the balance in the ecosystem, like a liver in a human body. If we perish, all of humanity will lose their immunity and die.
Image I am the one who usurps human cells. I am the one who transcends human life! I am the pinnacle of evolution! I am Kankel!
Image Venerable Yakusugi… The host that Kankel has taken over…
Image The destructive power sealed within the chakra… The truth even I couldn't see through.
Image My newly reborn power of life shall exceed and stop your power of destruction!
Image Stop me… You must…stop me!!

Image
Here's the final boss of Betterman, Kankel. It's… It's not that strong. Sure, it does deal a lot of damage and it does have HP regeneration, but it should only take a few attacks to bring it down. Plus, its only attack has a range of 5, so you can outrange it to chip it down before heading in with the big guns. I spent more time finishing off the grunts for their money than actually fighting Kankel.

Image
Lamia has achieved their ultimate form, Betterman Oltos. No, it still won't join the gang. It does make this final boss fight a lot easier. Given enough turns, I know that Lamia can solo Kankel very easily. You gotta make sure that Lamia doesn't steal the kill.

Hilariously, it actually has noticeably lower mobility and armor than the other forms (albeit still insane - 160 Mobility and 2800 Armor, with 30400 HP backing it) - but because its Limit is only 320, this is yet another form of Betterman that has a Limit stat that is too low to function that you will not permanently get. Because you never permanently get Betterman in C3. Also, Lamia reaches his final form where his dogshit melee stat is the only one he can use, wheeeeee.

The stage ends once Kankel is excised.

Image
Image Humans aimed to become the Best Man…even if it meant breaking the rule that requires coexistence… But if you are the one who follows the correct path, you must stop me! Betterman!!
Image The helix of the DNA exists in pairs and changes itself in response to environmental changes. In other words, infinite cell division is not evolution for humans! However, there is one thing that possesses the same power as Kankel. That is…
Image Regenerative cells!
Image Perish, Kankel!
Image Are you going to relieve me of my powers!?
Image When all of the genetic information is awakened, the program will revert to nothingness!
[Kankel explodes]
Image It's finally dead…
Image Even the Blossoms have stopped moving!
Image The Blossoms must have been controlled by Kankel.
Image Humans tried to transcend death… But death is inevitable for evolution. It's a means of survival.
Image Lamia, what are you trying to tell us?
Image Even the deaths Algernon caused were part of this survival program.
Image What do you mean by that? Explain it like I'm five!
Image All mistakes stem from that experiment seven years ago.
Image The Dive Inspection!
Image An experiment that aimed to create immortal humans who could overcome even genetic pathogens…
Image They tried to enhance humans?
Image By rewriting his genetic blueprint with Linker Gel, Venerable Yakusugi became the Best Man and obtained immortal cells that divided endlessly.
Image Wait, so Kankel was composed of…
Image Exactly. Cancer cells.
Image But how did that experiment create Algernon?
Image As a result of that experiment, Kankel, the source of evil, was born. The people who conducted the experiment scattered all over the world with the knowledge of Kankel's birth. That knowledge imprinted on the proteins in their brains and infected everyone they came into contact with. That activated their innate death program.
Image Algernon…
Image So I, who witnessed the Dive Inspection, am the source of Algernon…
Image Algernon is a biological mechanism that summons the antibody called the Betterman through the Animus, which is formed when a human dies in a specific way.
Image In other words, it's a defense program that's activated when it senses a crisis that endangers all of humanity.
Image So are we, who have made contact with Asami, also infected with Algernon?
Image Now that Kankel is gone, the program has been deactivated.
Image The danger is gone?
Image Yes.
Image Lamia… Won't you join us?
Image Hinoki… I inherited your brother's memories through his Animus fruit… But I must rest until life is in danger again…
[Lamia leaves]
Image Lamia…
Image Well, that settles that.
Image We don't have time to waste. We must move on.

Last time, the gang cured Algernon by beating up the living embodiment of cancer.

Image
Our next location is the flying fortress.

Image
The Congistar army, having lost most of their forces and led by General Osmel, is attacking from their flying fortress. Are you ready for battle?

Image
Chapter 30 (7-3): The Final General

Image
Begin by selecting your battleship (Gran Garan) and your units. There are 15 slots. I'm using Tatsuya, Keita, Amuro, Marvel, Shou, Ryoma, Van, Hyoma, Folka, Trowa, Koji, Nie, Kaede, Duo, and Jimmy.

Image What's that huge battleship!?
Image That must be the Congistar's flying fortress!

Image
Image Hahaha. You've fallen right into my trap, Argama! This is the end for you!

Image
Image They still had this many left!?
Image We're completely surrounded!
Image They may have the upper hand…
Image But all we need to do is take them down!
Image I've lost count of how many there are.
Image How can we make it through this?
Image Focus on their commander.
Image What a great idea. Now, pray tell, where is he?
Image He's probably watching from inside the fortress.
Image So let's start wrecking stuff to lure him out!
Image Yeah. He's bound to come out eventually.
Image Just stay calm. We knew this would be an uphill battle.
Image There's no point in victory if we die in the process. Take out any enemy you can as you advance!
Image Triser!

Image
Welcome to the Mechander Robo finale! Advance forward and destroy the enemy grunts on the way. It's impossible for grounded units to get onto the fortress itself normally, so you'll have to use your battleship to ferry them across the threshold.

The plot advances during the next enemy phase after you shoot down half of their forces.

Image
Image Dammit! You insolent Earthlings! This is nothing! I'll show you just how terrifying the Congistar army is!
Image
(Emperor Hedron. Mechander. CV: N/A) (I don't think he ever talks in the show.)
Image Oh! Your Majesty Emperor Hedron!
Image !!
Image Your Majesty! Why are you so angry?
Image …! …!
Image I see, I see… Very well, Your Majesty. As you command.
Image
Image Hey, you! How many mobile units do we have left?
Image Sir! We have a scant few left!
Image All right. All remaining units, deploy immediately! Emperor's orders!
Image Hedora!

Image
Image Time to finish you Earthlings off myself! HAHAHAHAHA!!

More grunts. Yawn. When you reduce their numbers to half again during any phase, the plot continues.

Image
Image All defensive lines have been breached!
Image What!?
Image We cannot fight without more mobile weapons. Let's retreat to a place outside the solar system until we can replenish our forces! This is for our own safety! Please give us the order, General!
Image Heh… HAHAHAHAHA! Do you really think I, Osmel, would turn my back on mere Earthlings?
Image But there's nothing mere about them!
Image Silence, coward!! I no longer need your incompetent strategies! From now on, I'll wipe them out myself!!

Image
Image Enemy reinforcements? No, that's…
Image Looks like the big boss is here to play.
Image You will atone for the countless Earthlings you've killed, and for what you did to my mother!
Image Your mother? You must be Jimmy Orion, Medusa's son. Perfect. I'll send you to Hell to meet her!
Image Why did you come to this world?
Image To relocate here.
Image Why didn't you try a more peaceful approach?
Image You make me laugh. Humans are unnecessary! I'd rather turn you all into cyborgs!
Image They're insane!
Image We can't let Osmel escape! Defeat him no matter what!

Image
The final boss of Mechander Robo, General Osmel, has taken the stage in his Grepo Robo. He's also accompanied by two Dragon Drillers. Really, though, he's kinda weak when compared to Folka. All he has going for him is his bulk.

Image
Image Impossible… Not just me, but the Congistar Army…
Image Osmel, why did you target Earth? There must have been countless other possible planets.
Image My Emperor was born from the sludge of Ganymede… The only place suitable for him must be ripe with pollution…
Image Such as Earth, huh…
Image Yes… This planet is perfect!
[Osmel explodes]
Image This war is over… I hope peace will reign now…
Image (Mom… I defeated Osmel…)

The map ends when all enemies are shot down.

Image
Image I never imagined that Congistar was targeting polluted planets.
Image It's true that things are getting better here, but the pollution…
Image Is it that bad?
Image Not everywhere, but some places are more polluted than others.
Image Hey, hey, what's pollution?
Image It's when people ruin nature.
Image Why are they doing that?
Image When you make things, you produce waste.
Image Once all these wars are over, we need to focus on the pollution problem.
Image Otherwise, another Emperor Hedron will be born on Earth.
Image That's right. We have to do something about it.
Image But first, we have villains to slay!
Image Exactly. There's no point in restoring a world that isn't at peace.

Drake's and Bishott's armies are about to meet up over the Pacific Ocean! Are you ready for battle?

Image
Chapter 31: Cross Fight

Image
Image Lord Bishott, wouldn't it be best if we had the Gyre Garing fall back?
Image What lunacy is this? We've been ordered by your husband to lead the vanguard!
Image But the repairs aren't finished yet.
Image I know that, but who else will take on the Argama?
Image They cannot bring themselves to see their fellow Upper Earthers die. If we were to destroy one of their nations, they would surely lay down their arms.
Image War is fought between men! You'd better keep your mouth shut!
Image What arrogance!

Image
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Wild Dance of the Machine God
Select your battleship of choice.

Image Bishott Hatta! Let's settle this once and for all!
Image Shou Zama! If only you and yours never got in our way!
Image Is Mother there?
Image She is. Princess, it's not too late. Why not join us?
Image I cannot forgive any of you no matter what.
Image Rimul, what are you saying?
Image As a woman, I find Mother even more reprehensible than Father!
Image How insolent! If you dare defy your own mother, I shall cast you down into the very depths of Hell!
Image Is that what a mother should say!?
Image It's fine. If it means fixing this mess, I'll gladly join you there!
Image It seems negotiations have broken down. Aura Battlers, scramble!

Image
Image We must deploy our troops as well.

Image
Deploy the squad! There are 15 slots. I'm using Tatsuya, Keita, Amuro, Shou, Kaede, Ryoma, Van, Hyoma, Jimmy, Trowa, Nie, Folka, Koji, Duo, and Marvel.

Image Shot's Spriggan and Drake's Will Whipps should be closing in! Concentrate your attacks on the Gyre Garing and sink it before they can join forces!

Image
Welcome to the Dunbine finale! Start making your way north to meet Bishott's army head-on. They're just as annoying as they were to fight back in Paris.

ImageImage
Initial bosses are the Gyre Garing and Tod in a Wryneck. Standard anti-Aura tactics apply, as always. Plus, the fighting will be above mountains and forests, so taking advantage of that advantageous terrain isn't a bad idea. You do not want to get hit by the Gyre Garing's main cannons. Get in close and smack him.

Enemy reinforcements arrive at the start of the second enemy phase.

Image
Image The Argama is stronger than anticipated! Just because we're the vanguard doesn't mean we can survive without support!
Image (Yes… I refuse to be Drake's shield forever!)

Image
Image My Will Whipps is approaching the combat zone at maximum speed! Hold on a little longer!
Image (Bishott is trying to usurp me… I won't let you escape! You'll be my shield until the very end!)

Image
Katsuhiro Tsubonou - The Scars of War
Image Hmm? What's that?
Image That's Shot's battleship!
Image Shot Weapon's Spriggan! I've been waiting for you! I won't ask why you're late, but…
Image King Bishott, the Will Whipps will be here momentarily.
Image Tch. I see…
Image I'll help you buy some time. We can destroy them when the Will Whipps arrives.
Image Very well. I'll participate in this plan.
Image Thank you. Everyone, stay in formation and advance!
Image Sir!

ImageImage
Shot in the Spriggan and Muisy in the Bubuly spawn in the far southwest of the map. Send some troops to meet them at the shoreline. Be careful of the Spriggan's surprisingly powerful attacks. Both of them have bunshins at high Morales, so be extra careful about that. There's not much any of them can do against mechs in water, so the Deathscythe is probably the best unit for the job.

You'll never guess who shows up during the next enemy phase after you reduce their numbers to half.

Image
Image The Will Whipps finally showed up.
Image We can't let this fight prolong any longer! Finish them off as quickly as possible!
Image The Will Whipps won't sink that easily!
Image We're on equal footing. We can't afford to waste any more time!
Image Hehehe… You'll see just how powerful I am! All Aura Battlers, sortie!

Image
Image SHOU ZAMA!
Image The Black Knight!?
Image And other guys who're in similar machines!
Image Today will be the last day of our rivalry!

ImageImage
That's right, is Drake in the Will Whipps and the Black Knight in his Garaba. I believe the Black Knight's AI will have him zero in on Shou, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's not the case. Once again, standard Anti-Aura tactics apply. Just watch out for the Will Whipps' main cannon and the Black Knight's bunshin once he gets to high Morale. They spawn to the southwest, so focus on clearing out Bishott and Shot's troops before turning your attention towards them.

Let's get into the boss killings. If a character is dead, they won't show up in other conversations, such as Shot and Muisy in Tod's, and Drake in Bishott's.

Image
Image Don't underestimate me! I'm not going to lose like this!
Image His Aura is glowing!
Image Tod!
Image He's going Hyper!
Image Everyone, stand back!
Image Watch me, Mama. I'll take them down with my power! That way, you can relax!
Image So that's Hyperization? Tod is now strong enough to pull that off, huh…

Image
Here's Hyper Tod!

Image
Image What? The barrier isn't working!
Image Tod!
Image Hey, Shou… Thanks for showing me such a nice dream…
Image What good is a dream if you're dead!?
Image Mama… AHHHHHH!
[Tod explodes]
Image I hope you saw that. You can't become a true warrior if you can't control your Aura Power.
Image Do you think I can do it?
Image You have to.
Image Okay.

Image
Image Dammit! Were the repairs not completed?
Image I told you they weren't! Leave this to the soldiers and escape with me!
Image It's too late now.
Image What are you talking abo--
[The Gyre Garing explodes]
Image Yes! We sunk their battleship!
Image Koji, the Will Whipps is still here! Don't let your guard down!
Image I know that!
Image That's odd. Our casualties are increasing unilaterally. Is the Will Whipp's barrier not working?
Image I believe it's working, sir.
Image People die in battle based on beliefs. Make sure it's functioning!
Image Yes, sir!
Image Aura Power… It's the bioenergy from living beings, is it not? With Bishott and Louser dead, has that weakened our side's Aura Power?

Image
Image To think that I, the man who created Aura Battlers, would meet my end in a place like this…
Image Shot Weapon! If you hadn't created Aura Battlers, none of this would have happened!
Image What nonsense… You're using my inventions, aren't you?
Image Exactly! If you never invented them in the first place, this war wouldn't have happened!
Image Even if I didn't build them, war would have broken out in some other form.
Image What kind of twisted logic is that!?
Image W-what!? GAAAAAAAH!
[Shot explodes]
Image I get it now… That was Shot's punishment for causing all this conflict.
Image Shou…

Image
Image I… I should have been able to win…
Image You can't beat us!
Image Lord Shot… I wasn't able to help you…
[Muisy explodes]

Image
Image What!?
Image He's going Hyper!?
Image Hahaha! I can do it too!
Image The Garaba got huge!
Image He Hyperized!?
Image What have you gained from all that resentment!?
Image Power and cunning! With that, I will win!!

Image
And now the Black Knight has Hyperized. Just beat him up some more.

Image
Image Is my Aura still not strong enough?
Image That's because you're using your Aura for evil.
Image I'm from a family of knights… Power is neither good nor evil… Shou Zama… All I wanted was to beat you…
[Black Knight explodes]

Image
Image Is this truly the end? Abandon ship! We're retreating!
Image Are you sure about this, sir?
Image As long as we're alive with a few Aura Battlers, reconstruction is possible! I wish to test my strength once more, without Louser's influence.
Image Will that really happen?
Image I will make it happen! After all, that must be the dream of Shot Weapon, the man who created Aura Battlers.
Image Drake Luft! It's because of scum like you…
Image Nie Given!?
Image Gah! The ship can't hold out much longer!
Image What did you just say!? To think you of all people will be the one to kill me…
[Drake explodes]

The map ends when all enemies are defeated.

Image
Image With this, we've severed the malevolent Aura Power.
Image Strictly speaking, we ought to destroy our own Aura Machines too.
Image However, we'll need them to quell the chaos plaguing this world.
Image Drake is dead! We can beat anyone else who comes at us!
Image If I can harness that Hyperization technique, I think I can fight the Shura King on equal or greater footing.
Image Absolutely not!
Image She's right. What if you lose control?
Image Yeah, yeah!
Image Fair enough… I suppose that's why we have friends.
Image We've got plenty of firepower! As long as we work together, we'll be just fine. Right, Hinoki?
Image I don't know about that… I'm an idiot, after all.
Image We don't know when they might strike. Make sure you're ready at any time.
Image Indeed. Otherwise, their deaths would have been in vain.
Image Fernando… Maysis…

This last scene plays when you finish all three of the choice stages.

Image
Image Have you located the Argama yet?
Image Yes, sir! It appears they're currently located in the region they call the Pacific!
Image Good. We'll head there immediately.
Image But we haven't fully assembled yet!
Image That doesn't matter! Order everyone to converge on the Pacific when they can!
Image Sir!

Last time, Drake's army was smashed. All that's left is the Shura.

Image
Our final destination is over the Pacific Ocean.

Image
While we're exhausted from the constant fighting, the Shura King descends upon us. Are you ready for the final battle?

Image
Final Chapter: The End to Eternal Ambition…

Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Commencement of a Distant Battle
Gotta love when the title theme is the final stage's map theme. No JAM Project on the Wonderswan, though.

Image
Begin by selecting your battleship of choice (Gran Garan).

Image Well, all that's left is the Shura army. Where do we start looking for them?
Image !?
Image It seems that won't be necessary.
Image Hehehehe. You're right about that…

Image
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - The Law of Shura
Image The Shura King!
Image We'll be routed if we don't do something! Launch the battleship! Deploy all units!

Image
Deploy 14 of your finest units. Folka is a forced deployment. I'm using Koji, Duo, Hyoma, Trowa, Amuro, Ryoma, Marvel, Nie, Van, Shou, Jimmy, Kaede, Keita, Tatsuya, and Folka.

Image The last time we met, I spared your lives out of respect to Fernando and Maysis. That will not happen again.
Image I never intended to run from the start.
Image You're bolder than before. I should tell you that I've been watching you from the very beginning.
Image You were watching us!? Every single battle we've fought thus far!?
Image Indeed. I sought to determine if this world could serve as a second Shura Realm, and if those living within it possessed the capacity to become Shura.
Image I see. If Earth were to become a new Shura Realm, it would simply be a new battlefield for your constant fighting.
Image Have you realized it by now? This isn't the world you're looking for!
Image Oh, quite the contrary! This world is our promised land! The fighting never ceases! There's already Shura here! This is the world I desire!!
Image Where's the Shura?
Image He's probably talking about us.
Image I see…
Image Indeed. You are all already Shura. You possess immense power, you kill the weak, and you fight constantly. That is what it means to be a Shura. And not only that, but you constantly create new Shura!
Image So you're saying war never ends because of our power?
Image Lady Ciela…
Image Do you disagree? If you didn't possess such immense power, your enemies wouldn't have desired the power to defeat you, am I wrong?
Image But even nature itself strives to find balance!
Image We may be lacking, but we haven't stopped trying our best!
Image You're not getting it. I'm saying the results of your efforts are what create conflict! If you intend to brandish such half-baked hypocrisy, you'll only end up destroying your world. You're better off surrendering it to me instead!
Image Now you've said it!
Image Shura King, this world may indeed be as you describe. It's a place where battles never cease and the storms of war rage unchecked. Yet, that isn't an excuse for the Shura to do as they please! Even if these people are the center of neverending conflict, it remains an undeniable truth that without them, this world would truly be lost! Their struggle is leading to the creation of a world where beings like us Shura, who know nothing but how to fight, are unwanted!
Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - Crimson Shura God
Image Shura King, return to the Shura Realm!
Image Folka…
Image Hehehe… To think you would spout such nonsense. There is no turning back now. The only path for us is to settle things right here and now!
Image Everyone, could you help me one last time? I'm going to dethrone the Shura King.
Image Like you even need to ask! Go finish the fight!
Image Now then, it's time for Dad to give it his all!
Image Just don't overdo it, okay?
Image Leave the small fry to us. Just focus on the Shura King.
Image Thank you… Now come, Shura King! Heaven awaits you!
Image I will not lose! I cannot lose!!

Image
Welcome to the finale of Compact 3! The only objective is to defeat the Shura King once and for all. Between us and him is a buttload of Shura grunts, who only serve to build up your Morale. Make your way south as quickly as possible and start kicking his face in.

Image
Here is Alkaid, the Shura King, in his mech, the Extim. Not only is the final boss really strong, bulky, and will one shot weaker units, but he also has a special gimmick. For one attack, he completely ignores all buffs caused by Spirits. That means he ignores Guard, Flash, and anything like that, but only for a single attack. This buff reapplies at the start of his turn. This isn't a mech or pilot skill, it's just something he does that isn't explained anywhere. Initiate combat every turn with someone you either don't mind losing, or someone who can take the hit, like Folka or a Super Robot. This might also negate special evasions for that attack, but I'm not sure.

Also, enemy reinforcements spawn to the north when you reduce their numbers to half.

Image
Image We apologize for the delay, my lord!
Image No excuses! Get on the front lines now!
Image Sir!

Phase 2 starts when you destroy the Extim.

Image
Image Shura King! Your ambitions end here!
Image Folka Alberk!! You're too naive!!

ImageImage
Image What the hell!? Something just burst out from inside his mech!
Image With most of its armor gone, it certainly looks sleeker.
Image Hmph… So you shed your armor to make yourself more agile? Fine then… But we won't lose!
Image Hehehe. You fought well, but this is where it ends. Now, I shall show you my ultimate secret technique!

Image
Super Robot Wars OG Gaiden - One Who Walks the Path of Strong-Fisted Supremacy
Image W-what the hell!?
Image Are those Altis and Fernando's mechs!? How is this possible!?
Image Behold, this is what I call Touki Tensei, a technique I sealed away! It's the ultimate technique, capable of giving physical form to the warriors I have etched into my very soul!
Image For the love of… We had enough trouble dealing with a single General! Now there are five of them at once!
Image Shou! Don't give up now!
Image But they're merely constructs, not the real deal.
Image Fools! Do you think it's something that trivial!? This technique has been passed down through the generations of Shura Kings. Its true nature is to resurrect the ultimate warriors whenever the Shura's fighting power wanes in order to reignite the flames of war! In other words, they're as real as they can get.
Image Well, this is a fine mess we're in.
Image Are you finished monologuing yet?
Image What!?
Image We harbor no doubts! No matter who stands before us, we shall simply crush them with our fists!
Image Damn straight!
Image If anything, I'm pleased you have finally given me a worthy challenge.
Image Then prove it to your King!
Image Very well. I'll show you now… The power of my sorrow and my resolve!

ImageImageImageImageImage
Accompanying the final boss are simulacrums of the Shura Generals, the Peirines, Valefor, Glasyalabolas, Mardikt, and Andras. The best thing to do is to ignore them. You don't need to touch them to beat the game, and you'll only end up using resources that are better used on the Shura King.

Image
Now this is the final form of the Shura King, the Raha Extim. Just take what I said about the Extim a bit ago, but add more mobility and firepower. That includes the Spirit-cancelling gimmick. However, the Raha spawns at 100 morale. The easiest way to beat him is to jump him with your most powerful attacks and beat him before he can start picking off your units one by one.

Contrary to everything this game has done, there is actually a post-battle line between Alkaid and Folka.

Image SHURA KING!!
Image It seems you've finally learned something.
Image None of this would have happened if you hadn't sent the Shura to this world!
Image True… But I had no choice!
Image What kind of nonsense is that!?

The game ends when you kill the Shura King.

Image
Image GAH! I will not lose… I am the Shura King… I can still fight…
Image It's over. You have no more strength behind your fists.
Image I was not wrong… If only you used that power of yours for my sake, Folka…
Image Shura King…
Image My only regret is that I didn't die in the Shura Realm.
Image Then go back there right now!
Image It's too late… The Shura Realm is about to be destroyed.
Image What!?
Image The Shura Realm has long surpassed its limit.
Image I see. So that's why you're trying to find another world.
Image Indeed… It's still there for now, but once I die, should war erupt again, that world will be done for… To me, no, to the Shura, a Shura Realm devoid of war is meaningless.
Image Is that why you sent the Shura here?
Image I didn't send them here on a whim… By the time I realized what was happening, the Shura Realm was already on the brink of collapse. To avert that destruction and save my people, I had no choice but to send them elsewhere.
Image How awful…
Image You couldn't fix your world?
Image As the fighting escalated, the wounded Shura Realm changed its appearance. By then, it was already on the path to ruin. The Shura Realm, which everyone believed was eternal, was about to disappear. But for the Shura, whose destiny is to fight, not being able to fight is the same as death. Thus, I combined the power of the Shura Realm's destruction with my own power to send the Shura here, where I intended to create a new Shura Realm.
Image You say that so easily. There must have been no guarantee that this world could become a new Shura Realm.
Image Perhaps so… Regardless, I had no choice but to place my hopes on this path! However, the dimensional gate went out of control due to so many Shura entering it all at once.
Image So that's why the dimensional walls were so unstable…
Image Hehehe… It's ironic. In rejecting our way of life, you have become more powerful than any of us…
Image Why didn't you try to stop the fighting?
Image For the Shura, winning is everything. We lacked any other reason to live… Folka Alberk. You found our world wrong and sought another answer. Did you find it? What's the difference between us Shura and the people of this world?
Image …As I fought alongside the people of this world and watched them, I continued to seek answers in my own way. That's why I finally understand… The people of this world and the Shura are no different.
Image What do you mean, Folka?
Image Do you get it, Shura King? Nothing has to change.
Super Robot Wars OGs - Crimson Shura God
Image We, too, have the right to seek a life without war. We just don't know how. With our own hands, we can create a new Shura Realm, one without conflict!
Image So that's your answer… Folka.
Image However, ideals alone cannot make that a reality…
Image We can do it!
Image And who do you think can accomplish that feat?
Image Me! We, the ones left behind, will make it happen!
Image Heh… Hehehehe… You certainly have a mighty roar, Folka. I suppose I shall take my leave… I must reunite with the Generals I hold so dear… Folka Alberk, I leave the Shura Realm in your hands…
Image Shura King…
Image Don't leave so soon! Even if you're fine with that, what about the folks who got dragged here from other worlds?
Image Dad? Read the room.
Image Have no fear… Once I die and my power fades, the dimensions shall return to normal… When that happens… Guh!
Image Shura King!
Image It seems…the time has come for me to return to the heavens… Hehe… I lived my life without regret… I'm glad I got to know people like you at the end… Thank you, Folka.
Image …The feeling's mutual.
Image AHHHHHHHHHH!
Image Farewell… Shura King.
[The Shura King explodes]

Image What the!?

Super Robot Wars Compact 3 - The End

Image
Image Where are we?
Image Isn't that the Sea of Ren?
Image Did we return to Byston Well!?
Image Captain Kawasse, do you know our current location?
Image Ma'am! I believe we're near the border with the Kingdom of Rau…
Image Is Upper Earth okay?
Image We defeated the Shura Army, so it should be fine.
Image Still, that was such an abrupt farewell, eh?
Image There are people who we were never meant to meet in the first place. We should simply be grateful for the encounter.
Image True. If Shou and Marvel hadn't come to our world, we wouldn't have even been able to fight Drake.
Image So the war is finally over.
Image Oh, right! We need to destroy the machines!
Image Why do we have to do that?
Image Because they have a harmful effect on Byston Well!
Image But why do they do that?
Image You idiot!
Image Oww! El hit me!
Image Bell, calm down.
Image But Lady Ciela…
Image Aura Machines shouldn't exist in Byston Well.
Image How should we do that?
Image Let's sink them into the Sea of Ren. Nie Given, can you make sure that happens?
Image As you command, Lady Ciela.

Image Allen Schezar!
Image Brother!
(Only if you saved her)
Image Princess Millerna! Have we returned to Gaea?
Image Lord Van, are you okay?
Image Yes, I'm fine.
Image We… We really came back, didn't we?
Image It seems so.
Image We didn't even get to say goodbye.
Image Wait. Why are you here, Hitomi?
Image Huh? Ahaha. I wonder? Maybe Gaea is where I belong?
Image You skank! I bet you were thinking something like "I don't wanna be apart from Lord Van"!
Image …You're right. I love this world. I love Van! I want to see the future of Fanelia right alongside him! …Is that okay?
Image If that's what you truly want, I don't mind, Hitomi.
Image Huh?
Image But we can always see each other, can't we? As long as our hearts remain connected…
Image Van…
Image Hitomi…
Image …Take my pendant. Keep it safe. Van… I won't forget you! Even when I'm an old woman… I promise I'll never forget!
[The screen flashes]
Image I won't forget you!!
Image Hitomi…
Image Hitomiiiiii!
[The screen flashes again, as Hitomi returns to Earth]
Image Goodbye… Hitomi…

Image
Image W-what!? Is that the Sirbine?
Image Dammit! Where are we now!?
Image Shion!
Image Remul! Does that mean we're…
Image We're back! This is Rabaan's castle!
Image Shion! Where were you!?
Image Uh… Another world, I guess?
Image What are you talking about?
Image You might not believe us, but it's the truth.
Image Stop daydreaming! Weren't you just slacking off somewhere?
Image Haha… Guilty as charged…
Image Shion!
Image It's fine. Nobody would believe us anyway.
Image You're not wrong…
Image Enough of this banter. Now that Rabaan is gone, I'm going to need your help to rebuild Baran Baran. It's too much for one person to handle alone, you know!
Image As you wish. Come on, Silky. Let's head back to Baran Baran!

Image
Image So now all the worlds have returned to normal…
Image Assuming, of course, that the people from other worlds made it back safely.
Image It's all right… Everyone…is fine…
Image What do you mean, Sakura?
Image The dimensional boundaries are returning to normal… Everyone has gone back to where they truly belong… Back to their own worlds.
Image Wow. That's amazing, Sakura! You can actually sense that?
Image I guess we're meant to stay on Earth after all.
Image Hey, Shou? Why don't you come with me to Dallas? I'd like to introduce you to my family.
Image R-really? Of course! All right, let's go, Marvel!
Image Ooh-la-la! I've never seen you two so close before.
Image Quit fooling around, Koji. We're heading home too.
Image Ow! Don't pull my ear like that!
Image Grow up, Kabuto. Seriously now…
Image Well, now that we finally have some world peace, what's the harm in letting them have their moment together?
Image Speaking of which, what should we do about the Congistar Emperor?
Image We can't exactly go after him all the way to Ganymede.
Image It's simple. We just have to deal with our pollution problem.
Image That's right. If we can restore Earth to a properly green planet, Congistar will leave us alone.
Image So that's our next fight, cleaning up humanity's mistakes.
Image Heh. If that's our next battlefield, then I welcome the change of pace!
Image Same here.
Image A battle where no one has to die… I like the sound of that.
Image And for this battle, our Gundams are no longer needed.
Image Yeah. Let's allow our Gundams to finally rest.
Image That's truly for the best.
Image Guess we'll put our Super Robots back in the museum.
Image Yes. There, they can sleep until the next crisis.
Image If I had my way, I'd just let 'em sleep forever.
Image That reminds me of the Betterman.
Image Speaking of which, our Kakuseijin now has its time to shine! It can do what it's meant to!
Image Hehehe. It seems it's time for me to finally unveil my secret invention, Ecology-kun Unit 1!
Image Whoa! When did you manage to build something like that!?
Image I helped him out when I could.
Image You guys never relax, do you?
Image Good grief. What a rowdy bunch.
Image Don't say that. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Image I know exactly what you mean.
Image The Argama will return to our original mission for the time being. However, if anyone wishes to head up into space with us, I'll give you permission to tag along.
Image Ooh! Me! I wanna go to Jupiter!
Image Roux, you can't do that!
Image I'm just kidding.
Image What about us?
Image Mechander Robo is a machine Dr. Shikishima developed at the EFF's request. You'll be joining us.
Image Triser!
Image Well, we'll be taking our leave.
Image Hey, what about me?
Image Tekkoki, come with us.
Image Do you remember your promise?
Image We'll get to that… But first, let's relax a bit.
Image Fair enough. I'm a bit burnt out from fighting right now.
Image Okay, what about us, Dad?
Image The secret of Atlantis turned out to be a bust.
Image Well, that's par for the course, isn't it?
Image And we still have Goblin to deal with…
Image In that case, let's resume our hunt for the Quaschika!
Image Someone's raring to go. Sounds good. I won't give up until I've laid my eyes on the greatest treasure of all time, the Quaschika! Everyone, get ready to leave immediately!
Image It seems everyone has settled on their next destination. In that case, let me offer you my thanks. Not as Captain, but as simply one human to another. Thank you, truly. I look forward to the day we meet again!

Image Where… Is this the Shura Realm?
Image Lord… Folka…
Image
Image What should we do now?
Image With the Shura King gone, you're free to do whatever you want. However, fighting is prohibited.
Image We know! We heard the Shura King's last words…
Image Then there's no need to hesitate.
Image We will stop fighting… But we don't know what to do instead.
Image I don't know that either… I'm about to look for that very answer myself.
Image May we accompany you?
Image
Image Please! We beg you!
Image Very well… First, let's go see Fernando, Maysis, and Altis.
Image Roger that.
Image We'll lead the way!
Image …Right. We must also see the Shura King's grave.
Image Lord Folka Alberk?
Image (Can I… Can I truly save the Shura?)
Image (Folka… I believe in you.)
Image (You are our hope.)
Image (Be true to your heart…)
Image You're right. I'll simply live my life as I see fit!

Well, that was certainly an interesting game. No space stages felt a bit weird, but for the rest was okay. I liked the LP more than I thought I would. I do hope Acrobunch and Mechander can one day be adapted with more respect, but we'll see. On to Shin then!
