However, during his flight, Rasetsu seizes this opportunity to take down both Tachibana and  Schlöndorff by attacking the German airport where Tachibana is scheduled to land and where  Schlöndorff is stationed. The Getter crew head to Germany to battle the Metal Beast sent by Rasetsu, but unfortunately for Sho, she doesn't seem to blend together well with  Schlöndorff... (Gonna be taking a short hiatus from this project so I can focus on finishing some JP movies that I've had in the pipeline for a while now. I hope to resume this in late October. Stay tuned!)

Bari Bari Densetsu - Episode 2

https://nyaa.si/view/1717814 Fansub credits can be found in the link above. Continuing off from Episode 1, here's Episode 2 of the 80s Bari Bari Densetsu OVA. Here, Gun & Hideyoshi reluctantly collaborate with each other at the request of Miyuki for the purpose of participating in their first professional motorcycling racing event. I don't dislike the first episode by any means...but something I neglected to mention when I wrote the post for it was that you could easily tell that the OVA was just simply a compilation of multiple random(?) manga chapters re-purposed into a single OVA. As a result, to me at least, there isn't really a clear  plot to Episode 1. Not that this is a bad thing, as I've actually subbed similar material myself before—it just simply threw off my expectations is all. BC of it, I don't feel strongly about Ep. 1. How I feel about this kind of storytelling really depends on my mood and how interested I am in the title itself. Episode 2, on th...

After Randou reveals to his minions that the Getter Robo's weakest form is the marine form, the Baron Yasha brothers attempt to lure out Getter Robo once again by designing a new Metal Beast that ambushes & attacks tankers headed straight for Japan. However, Gou's Getter One gets damaged while fighting and results in a malfunction that introduces a small chance of all Getter pilots exploding during the combination process... Will they succeed? (Judging by the above screenshot, seems like they did :^)

Rasetsu, using her powers, summons a Metal Beast back from hell which the Getter Robo team had previously defeated some episodes ago—additionally, she curses Sho at the same time and places her in a very weakened state, all while the revived Metal Beast prepares to attack Big NISAR. Despite her condition, Sho heads out anyways in her Getter Two alongside Gou & Gai to fight against this new enemy—meanwhile, she sees a certain someone in a vision of sorts whom she hasn't seen in quite a while...
