Oh how the time has moved pretty fast. March is coming to an end and I'm pretty energized mainly because I have some brand new ideas cooking up, Some new story series (Finally) And of course some new characters but that's not the only thing that's new now is it. Yes it seems this month has got some new things in store for us so without further a do, Lets jump right in

SECTION 1: GUNDAM AND GUNPLA NEWS

We begin of course with Gundam Seed Freedom cause really, Its the most talked about Movie right now in japan. Honestly not a day goes by and this movie just better and better. For one, It has destroyed the Japan Box Office, Netting over 4 Billion Yen since its Debut last January. This just proves that Gundam is still alive and could make more incredible story lines so I am pretty stoked to see what they come up with next

But what's even cooler is if I can get to watch this Masterpiece of a film and thankfully I can cause Gundam Seed Freedom is about to make its Global Debut. According to them, The film will be released in 56 countries worldwide which is a big milestone for the franchise and it will surely captivate old and new fan alike. These countries include Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malaysia, New Zealand, Scotland, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, The UK, USA and of course Philippines. Yes that's right ladies and gents Yours truly can finally watch another Gundam Film since Gundam NT and if this movie is just as awesome as Godzilla Minus One then I am all up for it

But while I wait for the movie to come out there is something that fans can get for a limited time and that's this magnificent poster of Gundam Seed freedom collaborating with Dune 2. The poster is not only to commemorate the Japanese premiere of Dune 2 in Japanese Theaters but it also dedicates the lasting appeal of the two franchises. Now I have watched Dune 2 and it is a great movie so seeing Kira and Lacus in a poster like this truly hypes me up for the Philippine release even more. You can get the Poster if you enter a promotional Campaign that runs until March 28 so do not miss this chance

Another cool collab involving Gundam seed freedom is with the Motorcycle show 2024 in Japan and most notably Honda. According to the report the Car/Motorcycle company will feature concept Bikes that were introduced in the Movie and are quote "not only an affirmation to Honda's innovative prowess, but also a nod to the Gundam series' continuing popularity and cultural significance. Fans of the series and motorbike aficionados will receive a unique look at the future of mobility, inspired by the rich story of "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM"

And for the Final Gundam Seed Freedom News (I swear this is the last one) There is a Character Archive book that is available Right now and it brings us fans a deep journey into the Cosmic Era. This is a bit of a treat unless you already watched Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed destiny

And.. At long last. That will be the last time I cover Gundam Seed Freedom. What a journey that was but.. We are not done yet cause we still a lot to cover

And Boy oh Boy do we have something to cover because Gundam Breaker Is Finally Back!! Yes, After the death of Gundam Breaker Mobile we are getting a next chapter in the Gundam Breaker Franchise. As of right now the game is currently going through some network testing and only a few people got to try out the game but from what I have seen so far, As well as the trailer this is a true step to New Gundam Breaker. Will this be the return of Gundam Breaker or will this be another flop? Only time will tell as it does not have a release date yet but I am confident that this game will triumph over New Gundam Breaker

Moving away from the Gundam Games we have a new trailer and some in depth looks at the new Gundam Silver Phantom which is a VR Experience done in META QUEST. Not much is known about this yet as it is just a teaser trailer but it claims to be world's first ever Feature length film done in VR. And.. That's all I can say about it really moving on

And now we come to the part that I am very happy for. Gunpla.. More specifically all the new gunpla that Have been announced this month and boy are we starting strong

We begin with some Gundam Seed Freedom Gunpla and yes while I did say that I was done covering Gundam Seed Freedom the Movie, The Gunpla were not done with me just yet. And so I start with the Duel Blitz Gundam. Now in my last update I was not really sure about this design but seeing it in Gunpla form.. I still don't know what to think about it. It is however an improved version of the Duel Gundam and according to the info quote "is an example to the ongoing advancement of Gundam design, marking a major improvement over its predecessor, the Duel Gundam. At the center of this makeover is the incorporation of a nuclear reactor, a significant increase in power and efficiency that promises unrivaled battlefield performance. Furthermore, the Duel Blitz Gundam has a cockpit influenced by the ZAKU Warrior, implying a merger of technology and design ideas from previous generations of Mobile Suit warfare." Just like its Movie counterpart the Gunpla come equipped with loads of accessories like Beam sabers, saber effect parts, A Beam Rifle and two iconic weapons from the blitz Gundam; The Piercer Lock: "Gleipnir" and "Lancer Dart" Hypervelocity Kinetic Energy Penetrator. The Duel Blitz also comes with its Assault Shroud which is pretty common for the Duel Gundam, And according to the report it is compatible with the METEOR Unit. Not to mention it is also equipped with the "SEED Action System" meaning it has a wider range of articulation compared to its predecessor. The Duel Blitz will be launching in July of this year

Also from the Gundam Seed Freedom Line we have the Lightning Buster Gundam which just like the Duel Blitz is an improved version of the Buster Gundam. To be honest, I don't really see any difference between this and the original Buster Gundam so let me know if I'm wrong. It does feature the same improvements as the Duel Blitz and comes decked out in tons of weapons such as missile launchers on the backpack, Two Side Skirt Beam Guns, and of course those two massive Long Range Cannons that is a iconic piece of the Buster Gundam. Of course just like the Duel Blitz it does feature that "SEED Action System" and is also compatible with the METEOR Unit. The Lightning Buster will be Launching on September of this year (Assuming I could get it on my Birthday)

And finally we get an SDCS Version of the Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam. It comes with mostly everything from its High Grade counterpart and most of the weapons can be used by the HG Mighty Strike Freedom or any HG Gunpla kit you have lying around. And something really cool about this is that since this is a Strike Freedom (And probably the only SDCS Strike Freedom right now) it comes with a Gold painted CS Frame which might be exclusive only to this kit. The SDCS Mighty Strike Freedom will be available on September of this year

Moving away from the Gundam Seed Freedom Kits we have the Gundam Amazing Barbatos Lupus from the 3 episode Anime Gundam Build Metaverse. Its a pretty rad design complete with the all important red color scheme, Something that Meijin Kawaguchi is well known for. Its best known feature is the booster on its back which is meant for space travel and feature some wicked claws that can ensnare opponents or block attacks. It comes with a Custom Mace though it sort of looks like a lance, A Lead wire for the Tail Whip attack (Which is from the Barbatos Lupus Rex), And a display base. You can also combine the lance with parts of the booster to form a super battle cannon. The Amazing Barbatos Lupus will be launching in July of this year with a Metallic version releasing this month

Moving right along to some other newly announced Gunpla we have not one but two Gunpla from the new Mobile Suit Gundam; Requiem of Vengeance and we start off with the Zaku II Sonari custom that was operated by the show's protagonist Iria Sonari. Personally this design alone is giving me some Gundam Thunderbolt Vibes given how dark the colors are. And there is so much detail on it that Mmm.. Its just fantastic to look at. It comes equipped with the standard Zaku Armaments like the Machine Gun and the Heat Hawk, A Newly molded Zaku Head and what appears to be a large, Three Barrelled Zaku Cannon claw shield attached to the left shoulder. The Zaku II Sonari will be launching on Autumn of this year

Next up we have the Gundam EX and umm.. Its Hideous. Sure it is already giving me Atlas Gundam Vibes but my god, Why does it look like that? Oh well, At least it has its charm to some people. It comes equipped with the standard Beam Rifle, A New Shield and what appears to be a shoulder mounted Gattling Gun. The Gundam EX will also be launching on Autumn of this year but if I had to buy one between the two I would rather have the Zaku

Next up we have a Game exclusive Gunpla called the Entry Grade Gunbarrel Strike Gundam. This particular Model appears in the collector's Edition of Gundam Breaker 4 and boy is it loaded. It has a Beam Rifle as a standard weapon, A Gun Launcher for a long range weapon, A Bazooka, Some sort of modified Beam Rifle and 4 Gunbarrel pods complete with railguns and missiles. Plus some of the parts are interchangeable meaning you can display the kit in many different ways. The EG Gunbarrel Strike Gundam is only available in the Collector's Edition of Gundam Breaker 4 so if you want this Gunpla along with many other unique items then you know what to buy

And finally to top it all off we have this.. Sweet.. MASTERPIECE!! Yes, The RG RX 78 - 2 Gundam is back as a newer, More Updated version of its former self. With bright and appealing colors to its armor parts, Wider range of Articulation thanks to improvements to the Inner Frame and standard but effective Weapons this revamped Gundam is surely gonna be a treat for everyone. Now I have seen videos featuring the original RG RX 78 - 2 Gundam and they were pretty good however overtime their joints appear to have suffered but I'm hoping that with the improvements that won't be happening with this guy. Plus in some of its promotional pictures the Core Fighter actually has articulation which makes for an excellent Ab crunch. Really cool feature if I say so myself. More info about the RG Gundam 2.0 Will be revealed in May of this year and its expected Launch will be at August of this year

And hold on just a minute because we have some Zeta, ZZ And AOZ Gundam Kits that are coming out very soon. These are in the planning stages as of now and more info will be released on a later date

HGUC PSYCHO GUNDAM MK II

HGUC HIZACK (AOZ RE-BOOT)

HGUC BOLINOAK SAMMAHN

And I think that is all for the Gundam/Gunpla News. Man, What a great start to Gundam. I mean a remastered RG Gundam is something I did not expect but it is welcome plus Gundam Breaker 4 Man, If this means I can revive the Fuse Burning Gundam or any of my other Gunpla I made in Gundam Breaker Mobile then consider me sold. But anyways, If you you want to check out more Gundam awesomeness then head on over to Gundam Kits collection or any other Gundam related News Site. And with that said, Lets move on to the next segment

SECTION 2: STORY AND CHARACTER NEWS

Here are all the stories I have made for this month and boy am I glad I got to start some new stories today

And now for some Character News

We begin with introducing a new team I have made as a rival faction to Sun Heroes. These are the midnight Hunters and they are what I would like to call, Not the kids you would like to mess with. The team's members include Azar, Fuse Rival who has been trying to beat him ever since. Vera, A Veemon known for his thieving and once was imprisoned for stealing a legendary weapon that he claims was his. Tyco, A Lupe from the land of Neopedia who aspires to become a Knight. Haru, A Gatomon X who knew Vera and that's all that I know about her so far. Kyuubi, A Nine Tailed Fox Tech genius who once tried to make the world a better place by destroying the existing one but was ultimately thwarted and has since been forgiven. Coral, An Alien who claims to be the "Strongest in the Galaxy" and is also a former H.I.V.E Agent. Ryuga, A Long time rival of Ryuku and an aspiring student in Purishiana High. Ryo, A Mysterious Young boy with an even mysterious past who goes by the name of Kamen Rider Blaze. And finally Kieran, A Cabbit Troublemaker who travels the dream world with his ghostly buddy named Lugo. Together these band of misfits will protect the world from any and all evil when the heroes have failed and to probably cause of bit of mischief while doing so. There will be more characters introduced in this team and while the story I did featuring them was just an introduction, I plan to include them in some other crossover stories that I have planned so expect that

But enough about them what about the other OC Characters? Well let me start with Fuse cause boy do I have a lot to talk about him. Just recently his brother Pyrus had celebrated his 6th birthday which was a big celebration together with his Solar Rangers Team and his friends from Team Firestorm. He unfortunately could not attend the party cause he was in Planet Hotwheels enjoying his 10 week summer camp trip there. As for academics, He is also doing okay. Well, If I'm being honest with you he is doing more than okay. His grades were pretty high, He is making all sorts of new friends and he has even defeated one of the gym leader of Pladea. As a School test of course.

As for the Sun Explorers, They are making very well progress uncovering some hidden History behind Paldea including about an ancient prophecy related to something called "The Cradle of the World." Until Fuse can truly come back to exploration, This Cradle of the world expedition is put on hold

Now we move on to something I have been saving for quite some time now and that is the reintroduction of Trinity Trigger. Previously this trio of girls has Nila (My Delcatty) in the squad but after Caramel got into Sun Heroes she stopped attending all together and went full time with the Sun Explorers. However in Nila's Absence Kale, Jem and now Caramel were just an absolute treat to everyone. While the boys were doing their usual thing these three were having picnics somewhere or going to the beach for a few days. They even went shopping at the Mobius Resort and right now they are just simply awaiting another mission for them to do which I might give them soon given the chance

As for the rest of the Sun Heroes they are doing their usual things however, With the upcoming Gundam Breaker 4 it is possible that I could bring them back to battling Gunpla again because those action figures are gathering dust as we speak

And that's all for the Character and Story updates. Moving on

SECTION 3: ART FEATURES

And now its that time once again to showcase some great art done by you guys. Here we go

Already one of the things I am actually excited for is the release of Tales of Elysium volume 3 done by slydragoon16 and Haychel. The 2nd one has already concluded with a bit of cliffhanger but I am looking forward to this chapter specifically for a couple of reasons. One is how are Leon and Vagus gonna cope with the aftermath of the battle in Elysium? Second is whatever happened to the crew of the argo in Volume 1? And lastly is what is gonna happen next? There is a huge onslaught of enemies coming and are the Pokemon really prepared? Regardless of all those questions I am certain this is gonna be a banger of a comic

Keeping with the theme of Pokemon we have this lovely pic done by pichu90 about his Pichu Sparks. Pretty nice but I hope his butt does not destroy that poor city down there

Moving on to my art feature and its Fuse's very own Racing gear for Planet Hotwheels. This includes things like his shirt and his shorts which are now Hothweels themed as well as some new Racing Gloves. Fuse has also deliberately Revealed all the cars he is gonna be using for the 10 weeks he is gonna be at planet hothweels and do not worry I plan to make more racing gear like this for the other members

Lastly here is a nice pic of Ru Dragon and his somewhat evil looking daddy by phation

And that will be all for this update but before I go I do wanna share some sad news. Earlier this month, Fellow Manga Creator Akira Toriyama who is best known for making Dragon Ball has passed away. He was always remembered by his works on Not just Dragon Ball but also other manga like Kajika, Sand Land and Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. It truly saddens me that one of the most influencial Manga Creators has moved on to the afterlife and I am just hoping now that his family is finding closure and peace for him. As my fellow tribute to the creator of Dragon Ball I have made this Poem just for him and I hope you guys can relate to it as well. With that said, Thank you all for reading and Enjoy the poem I made

HE LIVED HIS LIFE LIKE A KAMEHAMEHA

GAVE IT HIS ALL AND HE NEVER GAVE UP

WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER, HE KNOWS WE CAN WIN

HE HAS US TO BELIEVE IN

SO WE MUST LIVE OUR LIVES AND DON'T STOP UNTIL ITS DONE

GIVE IT YOUR ALL AND DON'T EVER GIVE UP

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE AND TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF FOR ITS EASIER WHEN YOU BELIEVE

R.I.P AKIRA TORIYAMA (1955-2024)

Well folks its the end of the first month of 2024 and things are looking up it seems even though there are some challenges happening in the world still. However, It is a new year and that means while there are negatives, There are New Positive views to look upon. So today, To make up my 2 month absence in the end of the month update last year lets dive into what this year has to offer us. Lets Begin

SECTION 1: GUNDAM AND GUNPLA NEWS

We begin of course with the latest Gundam Movie that is taking Japan by storm. Gundam Seed Freedom. Over the first 48 hours of its screening in Japanese Theaters and probably some select Theaters around the world the Movie has hit over 770 Million Yen in earnings and has beaten Mobile suit Gundam Hathaway in its earning regarding its opening day. With a Movie that successful this Gundam Movie is bound to be one for the record books and its also the first Movie I believe to be based around a different timeline in the Gundam Universe. If this is how I as a Gundam/Gunpla Fan start 2024 I cannot wait to see what else this franchise has in store

Also do keep in mind because this movie just got released majority of this Update and regarding this section alone will be dedicated to the Movie and most of the merchandise it got planned

Unfortunately though an icon will no longer be able to stay in japan for long. The RX 78 F00 Gundam Statue or as it was referred to as the Moving Gundam Statue in Yokohama will no longer appear on March of this year. It had a very good run but I suppose all good things must come to an end somewhat and though it will be missed the Moving Gundam will live on with the other Gundams in japan and overseas. RIP Moving Gundam.. Your Mission is now complete

But back to Gundam Seed Freedom now where I said at the beginning that this whole update's section might be all about this movie, That includes the Gunpla that's gonna be in here and trust there are some interesting Gunpla that has just been announced (We'll get to that later) But in light of this Bandai just launched a special Website dedicated to Gunpla from Gundam Seed Freedom, Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny. Link to the website is down below

And we are not even close to finished yet with this Movie oh no. There is a lot more going on in japan right now regarding this starting with a Grand event that is said to be held next month. According to the article it will quote "provide fans with a one-of-a-kind experience on Sunday, February 18th, at the Pacifico Yokohama National Hall in Kanagawa. This event promises an immersive voyage into the universe of one of Gundam's most popular series" Furthermore, A Screening of Gundam Seed Freedom with Audio Commentary is being held which will allow the fans to experience the movie alongside the characters such as Kira, Athrun, Shin, Yzak, Luminare and many more (A Total of 15 actors are said to appear on the event). There are also some goodies once you attend as well such as T shirts, Bags, Posters ETC. If you live in japan then I should tell you now that Tickets are on sale on January 27 but you better hurry and pick those up as much as you can because as I write it is expected to be sold out soon

In an honorable mention we have this perfume collection done by Primaniacs which features the various cast of Gundam Seed Freedom. it looks cool and that's all I can say about it

On the Gaming news the Rising Freedom Gundam Joins the roster of Gundam Extreme VS 2 Over boost (Gameplay video is down below)

In Gundam Wars, The Rising Freedom and the Immortal Justice make their in game debut. There is also a Special Limited Gundam Seed Freedom Event that was released to go with it where you can get rewards like Pilots from the movie, Things to upgrade the Gundams ETC

And in Gundam Battle Operation 2 we have a surprise guest. For the first time in its history the Freedom Gundam Makes its descent making it the first ever Gundam to be featured in the game that is not from the Universal Century Timeline. Yes, It seems the door has been opened for any other Gundam from any timeline to appear whether it be Gundam Wing, After Colony Gundam X ETC but the Freedom is both a good start and an unexpected welcome

And continuing on with Gundam Seed Freedom lets talk about some of the newer Mobile suits that have been revealed after the movie was released. These were never before seen and are only exclusive to the Movie

We begin with the Strike Freedom Type II and well, Its the Strike Freedom with some minor changes to keep it updated. It has new shoulders, Arms, and forehead but apart from that its just the same as the regular strike freedom. It even has the same weapons as the regular one. Still at least the Strike Freedom got to be in the movie

However, The real reason why that Strike Freedom got those minor changes is because it was later upgraded to this. The Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam. What sets this apart from the type II is the new Backpack its got called the Proud Defender which is a separate Ship piloted by Lacus Clyne. It was painted white and gold to match the Color Scheme of the Strike Freedom and its got one heck of a Powerful Laser cannon on its forehead (Oh yeah, that was a new feature in the type II). More details about this Mobile suit will be told in its Gunpla form

In addition to being a ship, The Proud Defender does have one other key weapon. The ability to shoot infinite Nanoparticles and High Voltage Lightning bolts controlled Telepathically. That's right, This thing can shoot lightning bolts and while I do have a soft spot for the Super Dragoons, This is a nice touch to the redesigned Strike Freedom

Next we have the Destiny Gundam Spec II and umm.. All I can say is that this is just the Destiny Gundam but with a different color scheme. That's it

The same can be said for the Force Impulse Gundam Spec II. Moving on...

Next up is the Appropriately named ZGOK and its well, Char's Zgok from mobile suit gundam but with a massive horn sticking out of it. There is a reason for that though cause this Zgok is a disguise for the Infinite Justice Type II as well as its backpack. The ZGOK is equipped with Missiles and Cannons which I presume is shot out of the Wrists. It is a good unit but a few issues could arise when piloting it though that has not stopped armor changing mobile suits from this era (Ever heard of the Mars Jacket)

Now we have the Infinite Justice Type II and this is basically the Infinite Justice just with some major upgrades. The mentioned Backpack is capable of handling combat at incredible speeds

WHOO BOY.. That's a Lot of talk regarding Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Freedom in general. However, I could not just leave this yet without talking about the newest and latest Gunpla and what better way to do so than with the gunpla of Gundam Seed Freedom and yes, There is a lot coming out of this lineup

And that has been all for the Gundam and Gunpla News. Man, Gundam Seed Freedom is off to a rocket start this year and I am so looking forward to whatever Bandai is cooking up the next couple of months

HI. Editing Romulus here coming all the way from February. Yes I did post this a bit late cause I was still waiting for some more Gundam and Gunpla related news to come around but it seems that Gundam Seed Freedom has truly taken over this segment so I may or may not post a Gundam News Section in the next Update but if you do want to know about the latest Gundam or gunpla news head over to Gundam Kits Collection or any Gundam related website. Anyways back to this month's update. Or last month's update if you are reading it now

SECTION 2: STORY AND CHARACTER UPDATES

Now regards to the Stories I have made so far, I only have one done so far namely the continuation of Cuteness Racers Go full speed. I have already done 6 episode so far with one of those episodes being completely original and now apparently I might just get started with the 7th episode. Now you may be wondering why are you focusing so much on this story series? Well one, Much like Gundam Battlers Beyond Re Rise I wanted to make this a number one priority of sorts and secondly There have been some pretty interesting Ideas that I have come up with which might come around in further episodes. I will try to get some new stories out I promise but I also have a bit of a backlog to get through so it might take a while

So 2023 is coming to an end and with 2024 rolling around you'd expect me to make a End of the month by now but with all the stuff happening all at once I decided to dedicate this time to have a look back at what this year had in store for me

To summarize, This year has been really nice. I actually had some good concepts, Turned most of my Journals Stories into actual Stories, And there was even some great inspiration that helped me make these stories. There were also new characters that I just so happened to make plus new Alliances I have formed through said new characters. So yeah things are looking up as I head to 2024

That goes for real life as well. I have been thinking about it but I might attempt to get a new job just to support my family further but I gotta it was not easy especially during the pandemic season and I had 2 years to contemplate but I think I'm finally ready. Fingers crossed

Now I know there have been "Issues" With the world right now and there are pretty big tensions but I just want to say as long as there is love in the world Hope will always prevail. So my message; Hug your family, make amends, Tie up those loose ends and always have your backs. Happy New year everyone

Its that time once again. Time for ghouls and Costumes, Tricks and Treats, Scares and Pizzaz, That's right my dear readers its Halloween. And unfortunately I have missed the deadline cause I was extremely busy gathering news for this update as well as finish up some of the stories that I have made this month. Hopefully you all can forgive me and with that said, Lets dive into the Spooky

SECTION 1: GUNDAM AND GUNPLA NEWS

Boy oh boy do we have a Gunpla and Gundam news. So many new things coming around that I may not be able to feature all of them in this Update so if you want to find the best Gundam and Gunpla news then go to Gundam Kits Collection or any Gundam Related news website. With that said, Lets begin

We begin with Gundam Seed Freedom which had a third Teaser Trailer released. This time around we got to see more about the Mobile suits that will be featured in the film including the new Versions of both the Freedom and the Justice Gundams who are kicking all kinds of Robot butt but mostly its the Freedom that is being showcased here. Along with that we got to see more about the characters, Old Mobile suits being in the film and lots more. Gundam Seed Freedom is set to launch on January 26 of next year and I'm presuming its only for a Japanese Audience (Unless the Film becomes available for Youtube soon)

Speaking of the New Freedom and Justice lets talk more about those two starting with the Rising Freedom Gundam.

Well folks. My Birthday Month is almost over and while there were no presents or a party (I mean, I am a man now what did you expect), This month has been absolutely phenomenal. I can't even start this update cause of all the cool things that have been going on right now and I will try my best to get as much of it as possible in this update. So without further a do lets start the Show

Before I begin though I want to address the show everyone is talking about and that of course is the Live Adaptation of One piece. Yes you heard me right. One Piece Live Action is real and its amazing. When this came out I was actually not quite sure if I will like it. I mean I have seen clips and a few episodes of the latest arc of One Piece the Anime (That Gear 5 Luffy is just weird and amazing) but after watching this Masterpiece and after seeing how people reacted to it, I was blown away at just how much Talent, Time and Attention to the Manga and Anime was put into this. Sure its only eight episodes but when you think about it, I'm actually ok with that and sure corners had to be cut so it was not perfect but I don't mind it (Cause I don't really read or watch One Piece all that much). There's even a Japanese Dub of the Anime for those who are true Otakus at heart and most of the Live action cast have their Japanese Voice Actors. And get this, Because it did so well A Season 2 is already in the works with Chopper teased for the next season. Honestly I was kinda curious as to how they were gonna tackle Chopper or what arc they will do next but I'm both Pumped and excited to see the next season. The first season is already On Netflix right now so if you are a One piece Fan or if this is your first time knowing about One Piece then this will be a treat for you

And now with that out of the way (Along with my Sea Shanty Mood) lets get into the actual update

SECTION 1: GUNDAM AND GUNPLA NEWS

We begin this update with an official Preview Trailer of Gundam Build Metaverse. It showcases some of the characters with the focus mostly on Ryu Hojo and his Lah Gundam and it also shows us how the other Gunpla will look in the Anime. While I do like all of them That Shin Burning Gundam is looking extra Spicy (And well because my Quilava Fuse wants it as a custom so bad). The first episode will be released on October 6

On the Gaming front we drive our attention to Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans Udur Hunt where we have two new Mobile suits added to its roster. The Very Flashy Gundam Zepar with its sword and shield combo and the Majestic yet Frightening Gundam Mumur with its Cutter Blade like Wire Funnels

And from Gundam Battle Operation 2 we have the arrival of the Full Armor ZZ Gundam; The Upgraded version of the Behemoth known as the ZZ Gundam

And in the Gunpla front we have yet another Gundam from Witch from Mercury Vanadis Heart. This is the Gundam Lfrith Anavata and. itis just one bad ass looking mobile suit. It comes with two Swords, A Shield that can hold said swords, Two Beam Guns that can work as Backpack mounted cannons and Electrifying effect parts for the swords. The Anavata is said to be released on December of this year

And... That's it. Yeah not a lot of Gundam News to report which is odd because I expected that there will be more. I guess Gundam had Quality over Quantity in mind which I'm okay with. Anyways, If you want to find more Gundam News then do Check out Gundam Kits Collection or Any Gundam Related website. And now on to the next segment

SECTION 2: GAMING NEWS

We begin the gaming with of course Mortal Kombat 1. Since its release, MK1 has been astonishing with its gameplay and mechanics that differentiate it from past MK Games such as the use of Kameo characters which is a separate Character Roster containing fighters from past MK Games and some of them even have Nostalgic Skins on. On top of this, Many videos of ther Game have given us some deep insight into customization like Character Skins, Accessories ETC. As well as some Character Voice Announcers featuring Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, Geras and Just recently Shang Tsung. Plus with a Vast Story Line based around Fire God Liu Kang's new Timeline (Which I will not get into detail as it will be Spoilers) I'd say that this is the game that Might Rival Street Fighter 6 Soon. Unless Tekken 8 Performs as well as this game and that's not even mentioning the kombat Kast 1 Characters that are set to appear very soon in the roster. Whoo Boy!

Speaking of Tekken 8, It seems that the devs were not phased with MK1's Success as now they are releasing yet another old favorite from the Tekken Roster; Feng Weng. On top of Feng's Debut, The Game will have yet another closed beta test coming this October which will include Raven and Azucena in the roster though there have been footage of those characters in action. And that's not all, Recent Videos have shown a few key things of interest such as Tekken Ball from Tekken 3 Coming back, Panda making a return and of course the first few minutes of the Story Mode (Which I was thrilled to say it looks stunning)

And we have more Gaming News coming up starting with this surprise announcement from SEGA. Samba De Amigo is back!! And he is bringing new beats as well as new flavor. With over 40 new songs ranging from Music in SEGA's Vast array of games to Real Life Songs, A New Story Mode which depicts what Amigo has been up too since his Absence, New Game Modes and Amigo Skins this will surely make you groove like you never grooved before. Samba De Amigo Party Central is available now so grab those joysticks and prepare to dance. Or if you don't have a Nintendo Switch then don't sweat cause the game is available at the Apple Arcade (That's right. This game has a mobile Version)

OTHER GAMES THAT WILL BE MENTIONED:

And that will be all for this Gaming Update. Moving on to the next section

SECTION 3: STORY AND CHARACTER UPDATES

Below are two new stories I came up with for this month. Both of which are New Story Series Chapters with more coming soon. Hope you enjoy

And now its time for some character updates

Firstly, I would like to apologize to My Quilava Fuse for not making a Birthday Story this year. Things have been quite difficult and with two new stories that needed to be finished I did not have time to write one. Maybe next time though but I will say that Fuse had a wonderful Birthday with all his friends from both Sun Explorers and Sun Heroes. That and his time in school was greeted with Birthday treats from his fellow Classmates as well as his teachers. So yeah, Happy Birthday Fuse. You deserve it

Moving on to Solar Rangers where their first adventure in the Pokemon World has begun. Their Quest; To find the legendary treasure known as the One Piece. Yeah I was filled with One Piece Influence since seeing the Live Action version on Netflix and I thought it would be cool to somewhat base it around their new story arc. Things have been moving smoothly and they even managed to get in contact with Fuse just in time for his birthday though I think their adventure is just getting started

Moving along we have the first Full Digimon Team debuting in my wide range of Stories. Known as Team Blazar (And yes its named after Ultraman Blazar), The team consists of Drake, A Guilmon who was a former DDS Soldier now retired as a Baker; Monta, A Monodramon who worked alongside Drake until the end of the Crisis; Ryoma, A Loogamon previously affiliated with the Okami clan before deserting them and become a lone wolf (Literally); Gar and Julia, A Gammamon and Jellymon Duo who solve Supposed Digimon related Ghost Hauntings and Spark, A Pulsemon previously known as Raid who made marvelous inventions for his Hometown. Together these six Digimon defend the world of EDEN from Evil and Otherworldly Threats. All under the Orders of the DDS and their Commander in charge Jay the Dorumon. There was even talk of a seventh Digimon joining the ranks very soon but that's only a rumour

And that's all for the Story and Character Updates. More Stories will be coming soon so don't miss out.

And unfortunately I have to cut this one short so I end this update. I wanna thank all of you for reading and as always, GUNPLA IS FREEDOM
