Talk:Godannar

message: Hey, just wanted to know if I can add some more information to the page, like stuff on "Insania Infection" and the "Rabid Syndrome" which is explained later on the series? I'm just not sure whether or not that might spoil too much? Any information will include the identities of the first and second carriers, and might allude to the ending as well. \(^o^)/ 09:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Okay, I've watched over the series a couple of times and I still don't know what Luna's vehicle is called. Was it ever mentioned in the show? Since Shadow's fighter is "Geneshadow" should I assume that Luna's is "Geneluna" or something? Does anyone have any idea at all? \(^o^)/ 17:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've literally just finished watching this series, and while reading it's wiki article, I noticed a slight factual error. The article states that theNeo-Okusaer was originally piloted by Milla. This is not correct. The original Okusaer was the Go-Okusaer, and that was piloted by Milla. The Neo model was built after Milla's 'death' and the near total destruction of the Go-Okusaer. The remains of the Go-model were removed from storage and repaired after Milla returns. From the time Milla regains her memories to the end of the series, she pilots the Neo model, while Anna pilots the Go-model.
 From what I understand, while the Go-model is something like a prototype of the Neo, the Go is still significantly more powerful. And that's the main problem with it. It has power-balancing issues that the Neo doesn't; the Go-model's plasma drives are more powerful, but much more difficult to manage than the Neo's drives. Anna is ordered to restrict the Go-model's power-output below 'level 6', otherwise she could lose control and blow the whole machine to bits. She actually spends at least one, maybe two, episodes training to control the Go-model's plasma drives; something she doesn't completely manage until the end of episode 25. This difference in power is the reason that the flames of the Godannar are different colors; red for Neo-Okusaer and blue for Go-Okusaer.

message: I'm not sure how it happened, but everyone missed the pun-fairy's visit here...
That the title of the show, 「神魂合体ゴーダンナー!!」, literally means "God Soul Combination Godannar!!" I can't particularly deny.  However, there's at least two obvious puns here. 「神魂」 is being read  「しんこん」, which can also be written 「新婚」; "Newly-wed."  The first episode opens at Gou's wedding, and the "troubled-newlyweds" theme is pervasive throughout.  Another writing of it is 「心魂」, which is sort of a "(my) everything" connotation of "heart."  「合体」  plays on this nicely by having a lot of different senses, all involving the concept of "coming together."  You hear it a lot with super robot animation;  it's the universal code word to inform the audience that the Dinosaur Empire is going to lose to the Getter Team again, and the Space Terrible Monster Crowd is about to have its day utterly wrecked courtesy of Gunbuster.  But it also refers to combinations of forces (armies, chefs, baseball players).  And sex.  Gee, what could 「新婚合体」 possibly be referring to? :P  Considering how the series plays itself out, the robots themselves could even be argued as a sort of euphemism or metaphor for sex.
Gou's blue machine, uncombined, is called Dannar (pronounced 「だんな」, a pun on the reading of 「旦那」, a colloquialism for one's husband).  The mecha first encountered by Anna in the first episode is known as "Neo-Okusauer" (pronounced 「ネオ・おくさわ」, a play on the reading of 「奥様」 (read 「おくさま」, it's a polite way to refer to the wife of another), which sounds rather similar in normal speech).  When they combine, they form the super robot, 「ゴーダンナー」.  That name is a play on the 「御」 used to mark an honourific (「御旦那」 isn't something I have ever heard, but it would be taken to mean something to the effect of "My honourable master (of the household)" when speaking to someone of the out-group register), and in the passion of their combination, Godannar turns red.  Yowza.
As might be gathered, "Go Okusauer" would be a play on 「御奥様」; "(your/you the) honourable wife."  But this one's a little trickier than that.  Anna is the second wife of Gou, and Neo-Okusauer is the second of its kind.  The second wife pilots the second machine (and for a long time appears to be losing out the memory of Gou's late wife: Gou didn't want Anna involved with piloting and its dangers).  But when Millia is "revived" it's made very clear that she was the original pilot of it.  The Go Okusauer (the original prototype that was too powerful, prompting the "Neo" version), is the first and more powerful, so thematically speaking, it would represent the one "closer to Gou's heart;"  the more powerful bond; his number one; his bed; his mate.  That Millia has taken the backseat to Anna in Gou's life is important to the resolution, after all.
Super robot animations frequently draw these sorts of parallels, enough that it's been deconstructed in G Gundam ("We warriors can only communicate through our fists!") and parodied in the recent Tengen Toppa Guren Lagan (Drills are heavily played as a phallic object in the beginning, and a number of gags are made over "combining").  So even though Millia takes Anna's place in the Neo-Okusauer, Anna has the last laugh as she has taken the real prize and first place in Gou's life/bed/mecha.
"Twin Drive" isn't part of the name of the machine at any point.  Rationale?  Well, Volspina doesn't have "Slave On" as part of its name, right?  It's super robot animaton:  shouting is cool, especially when you've just combined. :)
