Yasuo Ohtagaki's manga "Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt" is expected to conclude in just two more chapters, bringing the series to a close after 13 years of serialization, and there's been a lot of buzz about this. It's a popular series that's also been adapted into an anime and Gundam model kits, and one of its charms is the design of its mobile suits. This article will explain the representative mobile suits piloted by Daryl Lorenz, the protagonist of the Principality of Zeon forces.
◇Prosthetic limbs for the Psycho Zaku
The series began serialization in Big Comic Superior (Shogakukan) in 2012. It depicts the battle between the Earth Federation Forces and the Principality of Zeon in the Thunderbolt Sector during the One Year War, as well as the battles between the Zeon remnants, the Federation, and the South Seas Alliance after the One Year War. It has been announced that the final episode will be the 20th issue of the magazine, which will be released on September 26th.
Daryl's signature mobile suit is the Psycho Zaku (a high-mobility Zaku equipped with a Reuse P Device). This mobile suit is equipped with a Reuse P Device mounted on a high-mobility Zaku II, and electrical signals sent from the pilot's brain are transmitted to the mobile suit's drive system to control the mobile suit. To fully utilize its capabilities, the pilot needs to have prosthetic limbs. Daryl had both prosthetic legs, but lost his left arm in battle. He then had his remaining right arm amputated and became a Psycho Zaku pilot.
Its large boosters give it high mobility, and it is also equipped with a sub-arm. Its armament includes a beam bazooka, a giant bazooka, a Zaku machine gun, a heat hawk, and a Sturm Faust.
◇Docking with Brown Bro!
The Perfect Gundam is also one of Darryl's signature MS. Unlike the Perfect Gundam from "Plamo Kyoshiro," there is no "・." In fact, it is a completely different thing, and the inside of the Perfect Gundam is a Psycho Zaku Mk-II. It is a machine disguised and modified with Gundam armor, and looks just like a Gundam.
Daryl infiltrates Luna II and steals the Brown Bro, and is surprised to see the Perfect Gundam and Brown Bro dock together.
Io Fleming, Darryl's arch enemy and the protagonist on the Earth Federation side, teams up with the Newtype Lily Shelina to pilot the Perfect Zeong. They clash with Darryl's Perfect Gundam. The heated battle between the Zeon remnant's Gundam and the Federation's Zeong also became a hot topic.
"Thunderbolt" has a twist that will surprise fans who are familiar with the "Gundam" series, making them say, "Oh, so that's how it is!" Please stay tuned until the end to find out how it ends.
