Talk:Superior Defender Gundam Force

message: I know the official Gundam website says that, but it's clearly not true. Beast Wars debuted on TV Tokyo in 1997. Maybe the first fully Japanese animated CG show? Damnedfan1234 (talk) 05:17, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Would someone please check 

message: The show highlights the characters to be "Musha," not "Samurai." "Musha (武者)" is a shortened form of Bugeisha (武芸者).  I tend to avoid all dubbed anime these days so I don't know if the show's English dub (mistakenly) says "Samurai" or not. Anyways, I've checked the official (Japanese) website http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/sd_gundamforce/. (My Japanese isn't that good so please feel free to double check it.)

replies: text: The official term is Musha Gundam but most fans take it easily enough that Musha Gundam is based on samurai. Just look at it- Ark is based on feudal Japan, Musha Gundams practice bushido, wear intricate samurai/shogun armour, there's a clear class system based on the one practiced in Japan at that time, etc. It's all an extension of how the original 'real type' Gundam was based on samurai armour--HellCat86 11:06, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll check the official website more throughly (when I have time.)  Though, isn't it safer to use "fictional martial artists" rather than "fictional samurai"? Seven 21:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. On a series like Musha Bancho Fuunroku I'd say yes, because that involves more of various fighting styles in a modern day school setting. However, Musha Gundam is generally based on classic samurai. Specifically for SDGF, Bell Wood even says during Bakunetsumaru's first appearance "He's some kind of samurai!". I've already listed most of the reasons why Musha Gundam counts as samurai. Listing it as 'fictional martial artists' would also be unfair as the Knight Gundam element of the show gets it labelled under 'Fictional Knights'--HellCat86 21:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Correct.
