Isekai Yuusha G-SHINE - Ch. 17.5 - Now on Shelves

He's already selling the toys. Why do I get the feeling that 10 years from now Soul of Chogokin will actually release this.... Where do I pay?
 
what?.. the first one, the one in ch17.2 clearly looks like a gundam straight from g gundam series...this one looks like straight from power rangers megazoid(or that combining giant robot thingy)...
 
@zetsuravez
That’s how the Brave Series works though. It’s animated by Sunrise, the same people who make Gundam, so it looks Gundam-y in the anime, but the toys are marketed towards kids, so they’re gonna look like toy robots marketed towards kids. Aka, they’re gonna look like Power Rangers toys.
(Also, Megazord. A Zoid is a different type of robot animal).
And since this is a Brave parody, that means the ““animated”” version from the previous chapter will look Gundam-adjacent, while the ““toy”” version from this chapter will look PR-adjacent.
 
thank you for the thrilling ride and for translating this it was a hoot from start to finish.
 
@HaikenEdge There's not really a toy. It's just that this whole thing was a riff on a franchise that was all about selling merch, so the author's imagining what the hypothetical toys would look like.
 
@HaikenEdge If that is the last doodle of the series, it's very on the nose. That's what Brave largely was, Transformers wasn't all that different. The Brave series was a project between Sunrise and Takara, so pushing toys was heavily the point- the series' claim was how accurate the animes would depict the transformation and combination mechanics on the characters relative to the toys themselves: how you see HyoRyuu and EnRyuu combine into ChoRyuuJin in GGG is exactly how their toys do it.

One of the most impactful moments of Brave Express Might Gaine was a twist that heavily tied into the fact these shows were, like many series and IP, were glorified toy ads and likely reflected a slight writers' revolt against Takara pushing for cramming more stuff into the episodes at the expense of character and plot.
 
Manly tears were shed and many wallets were left waiting for the figure to appear.
