Episode 53: Tactics Research Notes: S01
We heard to space because we were invited by the Tactics Research Institute to come visit them. We've been selling them our combat data, and they've decided to come up with something nice and evil to challenge us. Turns out, it wasn't that bad at all!
You ask “Y?” I ask, “Y-Naught?” We Are Not the Same. Let’s Play Super Robot Wars Y
Episode 54: ReliQuest: Ultimate Relics of Lightning and Aura
Time for another sidequest with the relics. I did this one offline, so there's no chat. For being "Ultimate" challenges, they were incredibly easy.

Episode 55: A Cursed Song in the Night
Our entire crew and even the residents of the A. Advent have been suffering from sleepless nights wracked with nightmares. Our crew is resilient, but Freya is the first to leave the A. Advent as if hypnotized. We rescue her, but then Hadias attacks.
We start at 50 morale, and even the grunts are able to hit us way too hard. It takes a while for us to figure out what's wrong, but between Jet Jaguar, Walkure, and a slight distraction from Toenko, we pull through.

Episode 56: Countdown to Bankruptcy
The A. Advent's finances are dire. We have no idea how best to earn more money, so the finance team secretly launches to take down a major pirate den for the bounty. Has Y-Naught been reduced to nothing more than bounty hunters?

Episode 57: Relics of Gold, Courage, Tactics Research Note G01
Time to grab some some side content. We've got an extra stage to worry about compared to Zappa, so I need to combine another reliquest with a tactics stage.

Episode 58: NOAH Brand's Challenge
Re Seivas challenges the A. Advent to a duel. Sadly, there's a time limit which ruins my desire to resupply spam. We need to beat a bunch of bosses within 5 turns, and save Re Seivas and his new suit for last. Fortunately, we get all of them, which gives us a little reward from Otaki Factory.

Episode 59: ReliQuest: Relic of Gales and Relic of Hellfire
Time for another sidequest with the relics. Once more, I've fallen behind. Gah! This was supposed to be a story stage released yesterday, but I need the breathing room. It's another relic quest for now.

Episode 60: The Sveet Raid
Another very long episode, even through the game claims it's only four minutes long. We get information that there's a meeting of the minds at Oldna Posaydal's Fortress, Sveet.
So, we mount a raid to cause problems for our enemies and hopefully rescue Olibee. The raid is a success, but we are forced to retreat due to us sensing a "dark presence".

Episode 63: Ultimate Relic of Sight and First Relic of Healing
Time for some more Relics. I actually recorded this in time. I just forgot to upload it before going to sleep. Oops.

Appeal has gone through, and the youtube version is live!
Episode 64: Six and a Dragon
Back to the main story. That gives us progression, but it also means another long episode. Fortunately only 2.5 hours, and not 3+ hours at least. We have some more Dynazenon story happening. Chise has something growing on her, and soon it turns into a Kaiju of her own. Soon enough, we're under attack by the Kaiju Club. Yume is isn't in a good space mentally, which causes issues for us.

Previous episode isn’t unblocked yet. Hopefully we’ll get that sooner or later.
Episode 65: Investigating Kaiju Users
Now that we have the previous episode done, we get sent on a mission to investigate the Kaiju users. Two of the encounters go well, but two of them completely mess up the interaction and trigger the appearance of new kaiju.

Episode 66: Free-LC: A Smile on the Street Corner
DLC 1 has finally dropped! Yay! Today, we have the Free-LC, the DLC teaser that everyone gets to convince them to buy the DLC. We have Big O, Braigar, and Kamen Rider Double. The story is minimal, but it's just a teaser. Fortunately, we already got it. Next episodes will be a DLC detour.

Fell sick while having no backlog, so now I need to catch up. I’m five days behind, so we’ll have daily releases until I catch up.
Episode 67: Roger the Negotiator
I'm back from being unable to record thanks to a sore throat. (Yay!) Time to get into the actual DLC stages. I decide to start off with the Big O stage. Say it with me, Big O! Showtime!

Episode 68: Trouble Among the Asteroids
Our pursuit of energy clients leads us to the asteroid belt to reach a colony faster. How that works, I don't know, but it has us run into a the Cosmo Ranger J9, and a weapons deal they're investigating for the Preventers. However, the deal goes poorly for everyone involved once the golems activate.

Episode 69: His Name is Double
And now we grab the final member of the DLC 1 team, Kamen Rider Double! Their two halves of a Private investigator for Fuuto, searching for the disappeared client, and fighting dopants.

Episode 70: Client L
We encounter Leah Crye, and it turns out that she is the client that all three of our DLC characters were working with. She hired Roger, met with Poncho Pancho to hire the J9, and went to Fuuto to speak with Shotaro. However, the mysterious man in a silk hat is watching from afar as we have yet another battle.

Episode 71: ReliQuest: Relics of Mastery, Sacrifice, and Power
Taking a quick break from our DLC missions. It's time to get some relics out of the way. We get three done, and it really looks like we're running low on remaining relics. It's so nice to see this part of the game appear to wrap up.

Right as I caught up to the planned release schedule, something else came up and I fell behind again. Boo! Anyway, back to daily releases until I catch back up.
Episode 72: An Unfair Stage
Beck has kidnapped Maria Louise, and demands that Roger comes in the Big O alone. Of course it's a trap and Bed unleashes his army of Beck Deluxes. Fortunately, Dorothy is able to rescue Maria after Roger distracts him.

Episode 73: Evil Lurking Under Starlight
Sally Po has identified an asteroid where a group of terrorists are based. She recruits us and the J9 to destroy. On top of that, she passes along some information that they are holding Pancho Poncho captive.

Episode 74: Scarlet Kamen Rider
Time to get back to the Kamen Rider plot. This time, while we're in Buenos Aires, Kamen Rider Accel shows up and joins in the fight. We get some fun shenanigans with his wife also.
The J9 and Wing boys team up to infiltrate the base, setup a diversion, and lay explosives everywhere to blow the base and all of its weapons to kingdom come, and also rescue Pansho along the way.

Episode 75: The Walled Garden of Malice
Dry on leads, we head to Lagos. There a kid asks for us to find his missing cat. Shotaro is the only one who is eager to do it. However, he gets shown up as Roger finds it first despite not officially looking for it. Nonetheless, the preacher of Evil shows up and causes problems. Lots of problems.

Episode 76: The Faceless
The grand entrance of our favorite mummy, Schwarzwald. There is a mysterious faceless man appearing in Buenos Aires. When we investigate, Schwarzwald attacks. Gold golems appear as a third party, and then Beck joins the fray as well. Fortunately, we are able to fight our way out with ease.

Forgot to make an update post, even though the video released as planned, so you get two videos today instead!
Episode 77: The Melody of Battle
This is as far as we can get in the DLC. We need to progress the story to unlock more. Walkure is throwing another concert, but they receive a threat that if they don't cancel the concert, they will attack.
We must hold the line and protect the colony from the attack. On the plus side, we unlock the Brai Cannon attack for Braigar. That's a... BLAST!

Episode 78: The Witch's Wishes
A slightly longer intro section as I have to take a front mission in order to hit Ace with Messer. Why? No reason...
After that, it's off to deal with Witch from Mercury plot. Guel is now Bob, and is working for a transport company that is transporting his old MS. Suletta had her Gundam Ariel Rebuilt. However, as all of this is happening, the Wulgaru attack, and then NOAHS attacks us from behind. It's a pain.

Episode 79: Where Resolve Leads
We have a big problem. Yesterday's mission was a diversion to keep us away from Earth. The Windermerian King is on his way to newly discovered Protoculture ruins that just appeared in the vicinity of Phoenix.
Once we arrive, we start to fight the enemies, but along the way, the Windermerian battleship with the king is spotted entering the atmosphere. We have three turns to make our way to the target. However, not everything is sunshine and rainbows (and blowing up enemy robots). Multiple tragedies strike us pretty much simultaneously, and we're left reeling.

Episode 80: A NINJA's Oath
It comes as no shock that Cross is alive. He was captured rather than killed. He extracts some information from the baddies, and then manages to escape. NOAHS attacks, and we're forced to repel them. Re Seivas joins the attack, and Cross launches in a captured Lumenus. However, he also gets an upgraded unit from Forte. However, with System Nira-Kana-I on the A. Advent disabled, the improved Lunedrache is barely able to move. Can cross survive the rematch with Seivas?

Episode 81: Front Missions: Asian and North American Fronts
A short break from the long missions to take care of some Front missions. Kamui is way behind on kills, so I feed almost all of them to him while our resupply spammers resupply spam.

Episode 82: Reliquest: Hellfire: Breakdown and Climax
A nice and easy pair of relic stages. I have a blast making a joke of the first one, and then I do everything wrong on the second stage and still win.

Episode 83: Tactics Research Notes: S02
We go back to space to do another Tactics Research. We have a bunch of tough enemies, but we cut through them like a hot knife through butter.

Episode 84: The Wind Blows to the Future
We need to make an assault on the Windermereian ship. We sneak in and get very far. However, each of our teams are discovered, and we need to bug out. However, on the way out, there are a lot of foes chasing us. We have five minutes to get our of Dodge, otherwise we'll be chased down. Despite that though, there's always the option to completely destroy the enemies that are trying to slow us down. That's what we do, and we make it out nice and safe.

Episode 85: The Dogma Way, The Office Way
We have a bunch of DLC units that don't really participate in the story. We have the X and T original this time. They're off on a mission in the desert, where they run into baddies. They run into difficulties, but we solve it all with the power of weapons upgrades! I also forget to bring almost all of the units I wanted to bring. Oops.

Episode 86: Reqliquest: Healing: Breakdown and Climax
Time for some more relics. Should be nice and easy, right? Turns out no. I need to switch up my damage dealers and get Kaiser Gridnight in to deal sufficient amounts of damage. However, with that, we're able to make a complete joke of the burst damage requirements.

Hey! Forums aren't covered in spam anymore! I guess I can work on slowly readding all the episodes here as well!

Episode 87: Weight of Purpose
According to the schedule, I was supposed to do a sidestory stage today, but as I was running late, I did the Cybuster and V OGs upgrade stage. Time to finally get Cybuster stronger, and his cyflash still stinks. Oh well. We at least get a Cosmo Nova, and the V units get their super finishers as well.
Unlike the X/T upgrade stage, I actually remember to deploy my units.
--
Episode 88: Reliquest: Relics of Power
Some more relics. The hard one actually took a few tries. Mostly because I didn’t prepare properly, and then got an unexpected crit.
--
Episode 89: The Dinosaur’s Invitation
We’ve been invited to go deep underwater and meet up with the Dinosaur Empire, or at least what’s left of it. We learn that they are now allied with the humans, and Kamui is part of an experiment to breed a race of Saurians that can safely live on the surface once more. His mother is kept hostage to keep him compliant, and the emperor is none other than his half-brother. However, the Insectors attack and we need to fight them off.
--
Epiosode 90: The Night That It All Started
While we’re learning about Shotaro’s past, we find out that Leah had disappeared and asked us not to look for her. Fortunately, we have a tracker on her, and follow her. We find where she is and run into none other than Kamen Rider Skull!

Episode 91: Manufactured Lives
The Wulgaru have tentatively teamed up with Ra Val, and work together to raid Mendel colony. We get a new supporter, Teoria. Shinn and Luna get a new combination attack, increasing their power output, and we get the Alpha Azieru. Lots of powerups, but we don’t really mess with them for now. Unfortunately, the heist was a success, genes were stolen from Mendel Colony, and we just clear out the stragglers.
--
Episode 92: Tactics Research Notes: G02
Back to Jaburo we go to do some more tactics research. This one seems silly, but it perfectly models an ambush that locks us into close combat with enemies.
--
Episode 93: The Will of Byston Well
We head over to Lhasa to open the Aura road and visit Byston Well. Ciela has correctly guessed that Jacoba Aon is the one responsible for bringing the Dunbine and L-Gaim folks to our world. Ciela takes Show, Daba, and Kamille with her. However, Jacoba has her own plans, and they involve Echica. All of Y-Naught gets summoned to Byston Well and from there we fight a group of Dunbine and L-Gaim enemies (plus Yazan).
--
Episode 94: Ye Guilty
Cast in the name of God… Ye Not Guilty! Big O… Showtime! Wait, that’s what the title references, but that’s not what this stage is about. It’s the first of the two-part finale of DLC 1. We finally learn who Alfcourt is, or rather what he is. We also reveal Leah’s true identity. With those two pieces of information, we now enter the end stage of this story.

Episode 95: Time for Farewells
Time to finish up the rest of DLC 1. We finally see Alfcourt Campaul’s mech. It’s just a steampunk as he is. It even literally is powered by Evil Steam. This one is an absolute SLOG! I’m just happy that I had a bunch of morale improving assists because it would have been painful otherwise.
--
Episode 96: Onboard: Talk, Talk, Talk, Talk, Talk!
For once, Zappa has a stage that he’s playing that I’m not. I needed an idea for a filler, and I decided to catch up all the talk missions that I’m behind on. We have 25 of them to burn through. I doubt we’d have been able to get all of them if we continued the usual pace of one per episode. Thanks to this, we get the story, and the rewards all at once. And we get to stay in sync with Zappa. I’ll have to wait to get Bellvine until later.
--
Episode 97: Disaster in Red
With the DLC and chat marathon done, let’s get back into Chapter 5 proper. This time we’re dealing with more Godzilla Singular Point story. Apparently the world is in danger of a world destroying catastrophe, and we need “diagonalizers” to deal with higher order matter.
--
Episode 98: The Dragon’s Eternal Justice
The title of this stage is far, far more grandiose than the reality. You might have thought it has something to do with Dynazenon, Getter, or something else with a dragon. No, it’s just Altron Gundam, and also the Eternal, and also the Infinite Justice. Nice name, but at least there’s a second meaning about Wufei’s justice.

The game just got a big update in light of the release of DLC 2. The attack screens have bigger percentages, and the level and upgrade caps have been increased.
Episode 99: Three Principles of Darkness
Off we go to Detroit. I didn’t expect this to be a social commentary! There are violent armed gangs and a destroyed city. Why does that feel like modern day? We try to coax out some gangs, but are a bit more successful than planned. The one we get to come out and fight gets overrun by the Dark Army. We have Urube and Wong Yun Fat as well as some L-Gaim enemies.
--
Wow! The big 100. This is an annoyingly long game. Lots of fun, but I do miss the 50 stage SRWs. Oh well. Buckle in for another Loooooooong episode. As you can tell from the thumbnail, we have a great new robot joining the game now.
Episode 100: Power to Overcome Evil
Time to hit Athens. Walkure has a concert. But before we can attend, the Infernal Alliance attack! They have some special ritual in mind that they’re working on. The Great General of Darkness enters the battlefield himself, and we finally get a much awaited powerup for Tetsuya.
--
Episode 101: NOAH Brand’s Resolve
We have a Walkure concert near Cheyenne Freyja is upset because the soldiers call her music a weapon. This kicks off a series of events that results in NOAH Brand, now led by Re Sistis to attack the A Advent. This is very much a timed boss rush, with some grunts hanging around the sides. As always, we play a bit slowly in real time, but in terms of in-game time, we take the whole force out in four minutes, and even take out most of the bosses on turn 2.
--
Episode 102: The World Turning
Confirm your shelter shield is activated. Yes, Heero says the line! Remember, it’s not Christmas until Heero confirms the shelter shield is activated. We have the events of Endless Waltz to go through, and it’s a spam of Serpents and other NOAHS forces.
--
Episode 103: Mission: Walkure Escort
Walkure has unfortunately picked up some stalkers. They need some body guards, and for some reason or another, Delta Squadron isn’t in a position to provide their usual services, so the G and Wings teams are recruited for bodyguard duty. Shenanigans arise. Shenanigans, I say!
Episode 99: Three Principles of Darkness
Off we go to Detroit. I didn’t expect this to be a social commentary! There are violent armed gangs and a destroyed city. Why does that feel like modern day? We try to coax out some gangs, but are a bit more successful than planned. The one we get to come out and fight gets overrun by the Dark Army. We have Urube and Wong Yun Fat as well as some L-Gaim enemies.

Episode 101: NOAH Brand’s Resolve
We have a Walkure concert near Cheyenne Freyja is upset because the soldiers call her music a weapon. This kicks off a series of events that results in NOAH Brand, now led by Re Sistis to attack the A Advent. This is very much a timed boss rush, with some grunts hanging around the sides. As always, we play a bit slowly in real time, but in terms of in-game time, we take the whole force out in four minutes, and even take out most of the bosses on turn 2.

Episode 102: The World Turning
