World of THE POWER

It takes place in 2005, two years after an incident where the first identified extraterrestrial intelligence—classified as EI-01—crash-landed on Earth and absorbed a large number of machines into itself before disappearing without a trace. Following this incident, the Japanese government created a secret organization to combat potential alien threats: the Gutsy Geoid Guard, or "GGG," based beneath G-Island City in Tokyo Bay. Alien lifeforms known as Zonderians have begun to emerge; using Zonder Metal, they can assimilate various kinds of matter to form Zonders, which use humanoid beings as their hosts.

Setting

It takes place in 2005, two years after an incident where the first identified extraterrestrial intelligence—classified as EI-01—crash-landed on Earth and absorbed a large number of machines into itself before disappearing without a trace. Following this incident, the Japanese government created a secret organization to combat potential alien threats: the Gutsy Geoid Guard, or "GGG," based beneath G-Island City in Tokyo Bay. Alien lifeforms known as Zonderians have begun to emerge; using Zonder Metal, they can assimilate various kinds of matter to form Zonders, which use humanoid beings as their hosts.

There is also the threat of Algernon, a mutation in the brain which causes an accelerated alteration in the sensory, neural and nervous faculties. Those subjected to the phenomenon become violently hostile. Akamatsu Industries, a group designated to research and counteract Algernon, head a covert squadron of Neuronoids, robots piloted by Dual Kinds to inspect areas exposed to contamination and neutralize any threats brought thereabout. Keita Aono, a high school student, is brought into the fold after a chance encounter with a childhood friend, Hinoki Sai.

The titular hero of the series, Betterman, is a life form of superior physical and mental capabilities via adaptation of Animus Fruit. Through the resulting consumption of these plants, Betterman can metamorphose into situational combat forms. His most common form is the humanoid "Betterman Lamia." Each transformation allows Betterman to attain distinct physical-, psionic-, and mobility-related abilities.

Before the series begins, the Earth had engaged in a massive war with a mysterious race of seemingly alien monsters called "Mimetic Beasts." The war had been costly, and many lives and weapons were lost, humanity's only effective defense against the creature were giant fighting robots, and the heroic pilots who commandeered them into battle.

Trinary Solar System

Another Solar System, far away from Earth. Despite its name, the system has only one sun, but two burning planets provide sun-like light. The system is home to the Green Planet, the Purple Planet, and the Red Planet, possibly in addition to the other cultures seen among the 11 Planetary Masters of Sol. Repli-Earth was also created here.

Blue Planet

Earth (地球 Chikyū?) is a planet in the Solar System. It is the home planet of humanity, and is known to those from the Trinary Solar System as "The Blue Planet".

Green Planet

The Green Planet (緑の星 Midori No Hoshi?) is a planet in the Trinary Solar System. It is the home planet of Cain and Latio. From the flashes visible during Latio's flashbacks to infanthood, the planet's structures were made of stone. The people of the Green Planet possessed 8 angelic wings and a green glow, along with powerful telekinetic abilities. These were focused in three primary techniques that balanced the powers of destruction and creation, which were the basis for the abilities of GaoGaiGar and its successor mechs. In addition, Cain's child, Latio, possessed the power of Purification.

Utilizing the right hand, this was the basis for Broken Magnum. It is the favored combat opener of Pei La Cain, though it is seldom used by Latio. The thumb, index and pinky fingers are outstretched with the middle and ring fingers curled inward - the technique fires a blast of energy possessing moderate power. Like Broken Magnum, it is much quicker to execute than other moves, though it possesses lower firepower.

Utilizing both hands, this was the basis for Hell and Heaven. It is favored as a finishing move by people of the Green Planet. Both hands are folded together in an outstretched fist while speaking the pseudo-Latin chant "Gemu giru gan go gufo...", followed by charging at the enemy while finishing the chant by yelling "Vita!". A variant of this technique can be used to destroy the complete Z-Master program once all 31 Z Crystals have been collected and assembled - rather than charging, this version fires a thin laser from the outstretched fist, which disintegrates the crystals.

Despite these powerful abilities, the Green Planet's people fell against the Zonders and were mechanized. Eventually the planet itself faded from existence, as was the fate of the rest of the Trinary Solar System.

Purple Planet

The Purple Planet (紫の星 Murasaki No Hoshi?) is a planet in the Trinary Solar System. The inhabitants of the planet developed Zonder Metal and the Z-Master program to eradicate "minus energy" in their thoughts, but the program went rogue, turning the entire race into Zonders, who were eventually completely mechanized into Zonderians.

Red Planet

The Red Planet (赤の星 Aka No Hoshi?) is a desert planet in the Trinary Solar System. It is the home planet of Abel and Arma. Soldato J-002 hails from this planet - due to the intense heat he grew up with, he finds the heat generated by Renais Kerdif-Shishioh to be nothing.

The wings of the people of the Red Planet resembled those of a phoenix. They possessed telekinetic abilities said to be superior to those of the people of the Green Planet. They also took a more traditional approach to warfare, building battleships and arming their Giant Mechanoids with more traditional cannon-type weapons than the "Super Robot"-style weapons of Super Mechanoids. Like the Purple Planet, they possessed ES Window technology and incorporated it into their ES Missile weaponry. They also were the developers of Generating Armor, a simultaneously offensive and defensive mechanism that was mounted on all of their battleships.

Ultimately the Red Planet would be mechanized, though it left behind a legacy in the form of what would be fated to become as terrible a threat as the Z-Master itself - the 11 Planetary Masters of Sol.

Repli-Earth

Repli-Earth was a recreation of Earth created by a massive misfire of the Pas-Q Machine that duplicated the Earth, Moon, and GGG Orbit Base, along with everything on them. It had a pale color when seen from a distance, but on the surface was fairly indistinguishable from Earth. This was the site of Episodes 4-8 of FINAL. It was wiped from existence upon the destruction of Pisa Sol.

Factions

Gutsy Geoid Guard

Secret organization created by the Japanese government to combat alien threats following the incident involving EI-01 in 2003. Formed from the best specialists and brightest minds in Japan, using technology discovered in Galeon's databanks (and Professor Leo Shishioh's own designs based on same) as its foundation. Their headquarters is the Bay Tower Base, lying beneath the Space Development Corporation on G-Island City. The late Japanese intelligence agent Kirio Inugami was said to have played a major role in its founding. They have ongoing cooperation with the NASA in the United States, where Leo Shishioh's brother Liger and Swan White's brother Stallion are stationed. Article 5, Section 120 of the GGG Charter states: "Under no circumstances must a GGG member ever give up."

Gutsy Galaxy Guard
Organization created to take the Gutsy Geoid Guard's place, and identical in most respects. All of the former GGG's personnel were transferred to this organization following the 31 Machine Primevals' destruction of the Bay Tower Base.

This organization is no longer a branch of the Japanese government, but the United Nations Earth Defense Force. Quite unlike the Gutsy Geoid Guard, they are also an organization with a public face, as their exploits are known openly to the world. They even establish a global "GGG Dial" hotline so citizens can assist them in investigating strange phenomena.

Following the Primevals' mass landing on Earth, the Gutsy Galaxy Guard is granted 70 percent of the UN's budget.

The UN has the authority to shut down the Gutsy Galaxy Guard if necessary. Following the Invisible Burst incident it was reorganised into Gutsy Global Guard.

BioNet Inc.

The organization has been active for at least fourteen years, as Kotaro Taiga and Geki Hyuuma fought them a decade before GGG was founded. Though BioNet mostly remained underground during the events of the TV series, they re-emerged shortly after Mamoru Amami left Earth, leading GGG (with help from the French defense organization Chasseur) to re-focus their efforts on stopping them. The mobile unit, along with Guy Shishioh and GaoFighGar, fought BioNet on multiple occasions.

The full extent of their resources is unknown, but they seem to have access to cutting-edge technology that rivals that of GGG. They are able to turn humans into cyborgs, and some BioNet members are Super AI robots like the GGG mobile unit.

They are responsible for turning Renais Kerdif Shishioh into a cyborg, killing her mother before her eyes and kidnapping her at a young age. Renais rebelled against them, however, joining Chasseur and becoming arguably BioNet's greatest enemy.

Zonderians and Zonders

Zonders (ゾンダー Zondā?) are the fusion of a sentient being and Zonder Metal. A Zonder has four general phases, culminating in a Zonderian. The first form is a base form resembling a shaggy monster of some sort, which is usually taken immediately upon infection. On occasion a Zonder in this form retains most of their human characteristics, as was the case with EI-12, when it would be more useful for them to do so.

The second form is the usual combat form, the result of the first form absorbing machinery. This results in a Zonder Robo, which is of varying size and design (usually taking a design modeled off of either the source of stress or the machinery with which the Zonder combined). This form usually seeks out and tries to destroy the source of stress, unless it has been commanded to do otherwise.

The third stage is the last one at which Purification is normally possible without killing the host. In this form, the Zonder, having eliminated the source of its stress, begins to produce Zonder Spores. At the end of this phase, it fires the Spores and blankets a large section of the planet it is on, thus allowing the Zonder forces to succeed in their goal of mechanizing the planet.

The last stage, also known as a Zonderian, is almost a more intellectual version of the first stage. The Zonderian somewhat resembles its human self, and regains intelligence and speech. The personality also returns to match that of the human, though twisted to believe in and serve the Z-Master's goals. Though the Zonderian can recombine with machinery, it can also separate from it, and generally remains in human-sized form. A Zonderian can be subjected to Purification - however, under most circumstances this leads to the original being's body dissolving after just a few moments. If one of the 31 Machine Primevals integrates with a sentient being (Arm Primeval is particularly fond of doing so), the host is temporarily transformed into a Zonderian with an exaggerated body part representing the Primeval it hosts. Purification from this "possession" does not harm the host.

Zonderians (ゾンダリアン Zondarian?) are the final form of Zonders that have not been subjected to Purification, and thus have progressed to their final stage of mechanization. Completely mechanized, they cannot be returned to normal by Mamoru Amami's Purification (though Ikumi Kaidou was able to Purify the Zonderians Pizza and Pinchernone without harm to them, suggesting that it was due to the sealed state of Mamoru's ability at the time that Polonaise was killed upon being Purified. It is also possible that only Zondarians based on full organic lifeforms cannot be purified, while those based on Cyborgs and computer systems can be). Like Zonders, Zonderians can fuse with machines to form large Zonder Robos for combat purposes, which they refer to as their "perfect forms" - however, they also possess some combat abilities even in their normal-sized forms.

31 Machine Primevals

The 31 Machine Primevals (機界31原種 Kikai Sanichi Genshū) were the individual components of the Z-Master Program and progenitors of the Zonderians, appearing on Earth following the destruction of EI-01. They are described as individually having powers and abilities exceeding those of all Zonderians (save for possibly those of EI-01 itself). Each is capable of developing Zonder Metal at will (quantity and rate apparently limited to size of form), and can perform Primeval Fusion with one another to increase their powers even further.

When Purification is performed on a Primeval, its form is reduced to that of a Z Crystal, a dormant component of the Master Program, appearing as an interlocking piece of a sphere-shaped object.

If all 31 Zonder Crystals are combined with at least one Primeval still active, they will take the form of the Z-Master. The Master Program may only be destroyed if all Zonder Crystals are both combined and inactive.

All Primevals are identified by GGG using the code "ZX" (Pronounced "Zex" and standing for "Zonder Exceptional"). Each Primeval is formally named for one body part as below, though most Primevals were not formally named in the television series; a complete list of names would appear later in official sources.

Following the Zonderian's defeat, their superiors, the 31 Machine Primevals, appear to finish the job their servants could not complete. In their first appearance, three Primevals easily defeat GaoGaiGar and even destroy GGG's underwater base. Each Primeval represents a particular body part, and has some special ability linked to that organ.

11 Planetary Masters of Sol

The 11 Planetary Masters of Sol (ソール11遊星主 Sol Jūichi Yūseishu) were the primary antagonists of the OVA sequel series King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL. Created under the direction of Abel, they were a series of programs given material form—each powered by a Loud G-Stone—whose sole purpose was to restore the Trinary Solar System upon the destruction of the Z-Master Program. However, much like the Z-Master, they had gone out of control and exceeded their original programming, using their dark matter-absorbing "Pas-Q Machine" to produce a system that threatened to destroy Earth. Each of the Masters is a direct counterpart to one of the protagonists, some more obviously than others. Proceeding clockwise from the bottom center, the membership of the Masters is as follows:

• Palparepa: Counterpart to Guy Shishioh
• Pillnus: Counterpart to Renais Kerdif-Shishioh
• Polturn: Counterpart to Volfogg
• Ptulone: Counterpart to GekiRyuJin
• Pisa Sol: Presumably the counterpart to Mikoto Utsugi or Goldymarg
• Palus Abel: Counterpart to Ikumi Kaidou
• Puranus: Counterpart to TenRyuJin
• P-Vater: Counterpart to ChoRyuJin
• Pei La Cain: Counterpart to Mamoru Amami
• Percurio: Counterpart to Mic Sounders the 13th
• Pia Decem: Counterpart to Soldato J-002

Technology

Super-AI

A name designating any superintelligent AI capable of independent learning and human-like thought processes. The first known Super-AI was installed in Galeon - the primary use of Super-AIs in the series is in the Mobile Unit robots. A "natural" Super-AI (such as HyouRyuu or EnRyuu) is "raised" over the course of several months (needing six for the aforementioned two to reach maturity), and generally only achieves its full potential through entering combat situations and demonstrating bravery. In many situations, this is an impractically long time to wait, and so a large number of Super-AIs are instead based off the brainwave patterns of a human (this type includes Volfogg, Goldymarg, and even Galeon itself). J-Ark's Tomoro 0117 computer core is essentially a stationary Super-AI, and an additional one based off of Cain's Wife was embedded in the G-Crystal, along with a copy of Galeon's original programming. There are also instances of computers gaining sentience when exposed to The Power such as the cases of Yupitos.

Unlike regular AIs, Super-AIs are unique in that they can possess courage, and thus can use the power of the G-Stone just as a human can. Earth-made Super-AIs are thus invariably equipped with GS-Rides, and usually later retrofitted with the improved Ul-Tech Engine.

Mechanoid

A Mechanoid is the result of a Fusion between a natural or semi-artificial life-form (such as a Cyborg) and an artificial, transforming mechanical entity.

Evoluder

An Evoluder (エヴォリュダー Evoryudaa?) is an evolution of a human into a higher form of life. Guy Shishioh became an Evoluder through the integration of a G-Stone.

Evoluder Guy shows greatly enhanced physical strength, endurance and reflexes (on par with his cyborg form's capabilities), as well as the ability to control machinery. He is capable of surviving in space unaided, as well as space flight. Guy glows a bright green when using his Evoluder abilities.

A similar evolution, Semi-Evoluder is undertaken by Mikoto Utsugi.

Semi-Evoluder

Semi-Evoluder (セミ・エヴォリュダー Semi Evoryudaa?) is an evolution of humans into a higher form of life, similar to an Evoluder. Mikoto Utsugi became one through the integration of the power of the New Machine Species.

Mikoto displays the ability to regenerate (perhaps infinitely), shrug off poisons such as Paras Particles over time, and access the Limpid Channel. She is also capable of surviving in space to some extent, as well as space flight.

Limpid Channel

Telepathic flow of consciousness. Used by Somniums and Sakura. Mikoto Utsugi became able to access the Limpid Channel while in a near-death state, using her Semi-Evoluder abilities. Represented as a colored light in the center of one's forehead.

G-Stone

The G-Stone is an energy source developed on the Green Planet by the "Green Planet's Protector," Cain, to emulate the natural Zonder-purifying powers of his newborn son, Latio. The resulting green gemstone is capable of converting courage into energy using the GS-Ride. It is described as a gem of life. When crystallized in a large enough form (known as a G-Crystal), it also produces an aura of power known as the Genesic Aura. The energy produced by a G-Stone is the polar opposite of Zonder Metal, and when the two energies collide they erase each other, leaving only the stronger energy remaining in the end.

The G-Stone was first used to power the mechanical lion Galeon, meant as a counteragent to the 11 Planetary Masters of Sol. Due to the rapidity of the Z-Master's advance, however, Galeon was instead sent to Earth. When Galeon came into the custody of GGG in 2003, Professor Leo Shishioh discovered a cache of G-Stones stored within Galeon, and used information from its databanks to help mass-produce related technology.

Every G-Stone is connected to every other G-Stone, allowing information to travel between bearers across any distance. For this reason, it is known by both Leo and later GekiRyuJin as an "infinite information circuit". Because its power derives from the bearer's courage alone, the G-Stone can produce infinite energy, or even beyond infinite - whatever is needed for the bearer to claim victory.

Whenever a being or machine is particularly overflowing with G-Stone energy, it takes on a bright green coloration - this behavior is not observed with the J-Jewel, but is seen in the derivative Loud G-Stone.

GS-Ride

The system used to retrieve and distribute the power of a G-Stone. Most GGG robots and vehicles are equipped with this system. The sheer power that it is capable of allows for the creation of a tremendous variety of applications to suit it—from independent anti-gravity flight to true artificial intelligence.

It is often used in conjunction with "G-Liquid"—a conductivity medium—to distribute power throughout a robot or vehicle.

Loud G-Stone

A G-Stone derivative, seen in King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL, the Loud G-Stone is the power source for the 11 Planetary Masters of Sol. The Loud G-Stone was presumably created by Abel at the same time as the J-Jewel from her reverse-engineering of the G-Stone.

The energy created by a Loud G-Stone is much greater and more more stable at median output, and emotion does not affect its level of power; however, because of this, the Loud G-Stone cannot attain the potentially "infinite" energy that the G-Stone, J-Jewel and G-Crystal are capable of. Further, power generated by the Loud G-Stone fades before the Genesic Aura generated by the G-Crystal.

When this type of G-Stone is active, a reversed "G" symbol appears visible within the stone.

J-Jewel

The Red Planet's reproduction of the G-Stone, exhibiting identical properties. Mass-produced by Abel, the Red Planet's leader. Used to power the Ark Armada and the cyborg Soldato Division. Using the Jewel Generator (apparently identical in function to the GS-Ride), the J-Jewel can be used as a power source just like the G-Stone.

Since it's a copy of the G-Stone, a J-Jewel can also use courage to attain an infinite level of energy. Furthermore, there is a sympathetic link between the G-Stone and J-Jewel - when they are simultaneously used to power the same machine, this link drastically increases the level of power of both stones and the machine itself. This behavior was first observed with King J-Der's "Silverion Hammer" interface with Goldymarg, and later with the joint-piloting of King J-Der by Soldato J-002 and Renais Kerdif-Shishioh.

When a J-Jewel is active, a "J" symbol appears visible within the jewel. Similar to the activated G-Stone's "G" symbol.

An Arma is able to shut down a J-Jewel at any time.

Bay Tower Base

Home base of the Gutsy Geoid Guard, built in 2003 based upon data garnered from Galeon's databanks about the impending Zonder threat. It was constructed underneath the Space Development Corporation headquarters, using the SDC as a cover for GGG's existence, and was reachable directly through the main office of Koutarou Taiga. The Bay Tower Base housed Galeon as well as the Mobile Unit. It consisted of the core Hexagon, around which were attached six vessels that could be separated and deployed for independent functions:

• Triple-Decked Flying Carrier
• Landing and Supply Assault Ship
• Projectile-X
• Armored Amphibious Maintenance Vehicle
• Multi-Dimensional Intelligence Submarine
• Ultra Technology Laboratory

The Bay Tower Base was destroyed by the arriving ZX-01, ZX-02 and ZX-03 - unbeknownst to both them and Guy Shishioh, the Hexagon was detached and escaped to orbit, where it was attached as the core component of the Orbit Base upon the foundation of the Gutsy Galaxy Guard.

GGG Orbit Base

The space station base of the Gutsy Galaxy Guard, the GGG Orbit Base is first hinted at quite early in the series during a conversation between Koutarou Taiga and Mamoru Amami, but does not make an appearance until the Bay Tower Base is destroyed by ZX-01, ZX-02 and ZX-03. Constructed due to knowledge gathered from Galeon's databanks about the existence of the 31 Machine Primevals, the Orbit Base serves as GGG's home base for the remainder of the Zonder invasion as well as long afterwards. The Hexagon portion of the Bay Tower Base is located inside the Orbit Base as its permanently-docked core component, while attached around it radially are the four Division Ships Amaterasu, Izanagi, Kanayago and Susanoh. The Orbit Base is protected by an array of emitters that can produce a Protect Shade effect for a short time, identical to GaoGaiGar's but on a much more massive scale. This shield takes time to recharge once used, and there is a 3-millimeter hole in the barrier that is unprotected - this is used by the Magnificent 7 Primevals to invade the Orbit Base from within.

The Orbit Base's artificial gravity system was designed by Akiko Hirata, while its operating system and security system were devised by Minoru Inubouzaki. Tooru Nozaki designed the Division fleet and the remainder of the systems.

Zonder/Enemy Technology

Zonder Metal

Zonder Metal is a material composed of what GGG refers to as Elementary Particle Z0 (likely itself referring to the actual particle Z0 in physics, also known as the Z boson). This metal was developed by scientists of the Purple Planet to absorb the stressful emotions of a living being and convert them into energy; indeed, the material was originally designed with a benign function in mind: that of reducing emotional stress. It is also said to grant "immortality" to its host, as a bearer of Zonder Metal can regenerate any sort of damage, and even thwart poisons such as Paras Particles.

Host subjects infused with the Zonder Metal that are not directly part of the Z-Master Program are called Zonders, which eventually turn into Zonderians. This "infection" may only be removed through the process of Purification. The matter created by the subject's stress is usually converted into a quasi-robotic form that retains some traits of the host, and then into a larger robot form related to the source of stress.

Zonder Metal emits energies counter to the G-Stone and J-Jewel, and even possesses the same structural design as the G-Stone.

Zonder Spore

A delivery vehicle for Z0 Particles, which can infect human beings and turn them into Zonders. These can apparently be created with significantly less energy then Zonder Metal, but are slower to integrate with humans.

Zonder Robo

When a living humanoid being (human or alien) is infected with Zonder Metal, it becomes a Zonder. Zonders will almost invariably fuse with mechanical objects and inorganic matter to form a biomechanical Zonder Robo. These Zonder Robos immediately seek out and eliminate the source of their stress, at which point they begin to produce Zonder Spores and mature into Zonder Metal Plants.

A Zonderian can fuse with similar types of material to form a Zonderian Robo, bearing similar properties to that of a Zonder Robo (though several orders stronger).

All Zonder Robos and Zonderian Robos are collectively identified by GGG using the code "EI" (standing for "Extraterrestrial Intelligence").

Z-Crystal

The activity of all Zonder Metal was designed to be controlled remotely by a Master Program, formed of 31 interlocking Zonder Crystals. This program, being self-aware, determined that stress—as a side-effect of "minus," or negative thoughts—would be best eliminated if all living beings were fused with Zonder Metal (or "mechanized") so these thoughts would be eliminated. This would result in the birth of an invasive force that would spread to the rest of the Tri-Star Solar System and threaten to encompass the entire universe.

Paras Particles

Airborne particles which greatly relax nerve cells, causing relaxation, lethargy and eventually unconsciousness in victims. Any cyborg lifeforms are immune to the effects of these particles, as is Evoluder Guy. Papillon Noir is also immune due to the hallucinogenic compounds she consumed during the process of gaining the Sensing Mind, and Mikoto Utsugi's Semi-Evoluder abilities enable her to eventually restore herself. These particles are produced by Palparepa in order to defeat GGG quickly and easily. Papillon Noir later produced an antidote for Paras Particles which was administered to the GGG crew just in time for them to aid Genesic GaoGaiGar.

Pas-Q Machine

The backbone circuit of a massively-scaled regeneration machine used by the 11 Planetary Masters of Sol (and by Pisa Sol, in specific). Capable of generating vast levels of energy through absorption of the universe's dark matter. On its own, the Pas-Q Machine is still capable of replicating matter, but most of its copies are imperfect, all having a pale cast to their original colors.

At the beginning of GaoGaiGar FINAL, the Pas-Q Machine is broken into four separate Q-Parts, each of which continue to output a vast amount of power. (One of these Q-Parts is used by the BioNet agent Gimlet to form Gimlet Empereur.)

Trivia

Due to events in channel, the worlds of King of Braves GaoGaiGar, Betterman, and Shinkon Gattai Godannar are all the same.
