** Not necessarily. Self replication, healing and evolution are all organic traits, and the original purpose of the Devil Gundam was to use its nanomachines to fix the environment. These would be useful traits to have since it would let it allow the DG to fix any kind of damage with enough time. (Also, new questions go on the bottom of the page.)

* What's the meaning behind the crests of the Shuffle Alliance? A jack of diamonds, a queen of spades, a king of hearts, an ace of clubs and a joker gets you a straight. Which is not a particularly impressive hand.

*** Yep, the older fighters from Neo Germany were also known for their advanced ninjutsu tactics. WordofGod from the Blu-Ray artbook, in this universe German ninjas are just a normal thing.

* How exactly was the Devil Gundam suppose to restore Earth? It’s three theoretical abilities seem to be mainly beneficial for evil.



* So in the episode with Mermaid Gundam, the deal is that the Mermaid Gundam is damaged so badly that it can only make it through its one last fight against Sai Saici before being retired. Given that the rules of the finals allow for as much repair work to be done on the Gundams as the nations can do, this implies that Neo-Denmark is out of resources to repair the Gundam. But then in the final battle against the Devil Gundam, they have a whole horde of prototypes. Why didn't they just use some of those for spare parts?

** Perhaps they were older models? Similar in appearance but less capable in function. And in that case, similar to a car, parts from older models might not be compatible.

** It may be that the original Schwarz was a trained Ninja (either from someone who had immigrated to Neo-Germany (think how Jujitsu or Karate became popular in Brazil), or he'd traveled to Neo-Japan to learn there (perhaps Scwarz had met someone who had trained in it in the past, and decided to learn it)). From the brief glimpse we see, Spiegel had the same design when the original died, so it's likely that the original used the same fighting style.

* Who was in the Walter Gundam when Domon was attacked on his way to Neo Hong Kong? We don't get the impression Allenby was under their control until later on, Michelo, Chapman and Funsaaki were obviously in there's, and Master was occupied.

** According to WordOfGod, it was indeed Allenby inside Walter, as little sense as that actually makes.

** It may also be that Domon can sense Kyoji's presence (both as a result of his training (Shining/God Finger are stated to be based off Ki manipulation outside of Gundams, so he may have trained in Ki mastery)), and familial connection (Kyoji is his elder brother, and from what we've seen, the person he was closest to out of his family). The laughter could have been either a degree of projection (Domon WANTS to hate Kyoji, since his orders are to stop him) or a result of sensing the Devil Gundam's corruption melding with Kyoji's presence (the Devil Gundam is functionally insane at this point, so Domon may be feeling that insanity merged with Kyoji's Ki).



* Is the clone Schwarz piloting the Gundam Spiegel/Shadow Gundman in the same way the original did? Kyogi didn't seem like much of a fighter so the fighting skills seem more natural to have come from the body, but there's still the oddness that the German gundam was designed to do ninja attacks. Unless we're supposed to take this is as a parody that Hitler let some people do some out there experiments, that someone in Neo-Germany thought "let's send our guy to ninja school, nobody will expect that".

** That's not how the Trace System works. It tries to replicate everything that happens to the Gundam to it's pilot, that's why they feel pain. Argo's arm was completly restricted by the "Chain" so he couldn't move enough to switch it off. Either that or endorphins made him a bit crazy.

** Possibly a combination of both. The Kings could be shaped DG cell constructs that are housed inside their originals

* For that record are the Kings gundams the original suits mutated by the Dark Gundam, or are they entirely new suits that just disguise themselves as suits their pilots are more familiar with until they are ready to pilot the real form?

* Another possibility is that DG Cells aren't exactly "metal", but rather a carbon-based cellular structure when infecting living tissue. Something closer to carbon-fiber or the like

** After rewatching the entire series, I noticed that no one else ever really seemed to react to the presence of Kyoji other than Domon. You'd think that at least once, someone else would have some sort of reaction if Kyoji was really there... Like maybe Chibodee yelling at him to stop laughing. I have come to the conclusion that Kyoji was never able to leave the cockpit once the Devil Gundam pulled him inside. Domon's intense feelings about the Devil Gundam and his brother, [[WildMassGuessing possibly with lingering side-effects from that simulation his government subjected him to]], caused Domon to imagine he was seeing his brother standing atop the Devil Gundam. Note that he often saw Kyoji standing on the Devil Gundam's shoulder, much like when Kyoji stole the Gundam in the simulation. He also frequently seemed to imagine his brother looming in the sky above the Devil Gundam when looking at it from a distance, so it doesn't seem unreasonable.


Added DiffLines:

*** Subatomic matter manipulation and absorption are probably what's going on. Towards the end of events in Shinjuku, Rain stumbles on the Devil Gundam absorbing the Death Army into its form and concludes that it had been absorbing what it needed from the city. It wouldn't be a stretch to assume that DG cells then have similar abilities, allowing an infected host to absorb metal from its environment rather than relying purely on the host's ability to consume the metal necessary for replication. It would have to be able to do this to cause a significant infection in a fighter that was already dead, like Chapman or the Egyptian mummy, as dead beings wouldn't be able to do anything to aid the establishment of the infection until there were enough DG cells to reanimate them.

*** Not the original poster of this question, but after binging the series again the original question has a valid point. The Devil Gundam ''was'' attacking, and even tore Schwartz' Gundam to pieces as it approached, but once he got there and grabbed Kyoji, there's a brief scene of the Devil Gundam's eyes going all static and then dark, right before the wires try to drag Schwartz inside. The overall impression is like when you partially pop a battery out of a device, and it's making contact but the contact isn't good enough to provide enough power. The Devil Gundam literally just sits there motionless (aside from the aforementioned wires on Schwartz) and doesn't make any meaningful movement or attack while Schwartz and Domon have a brief back and forth argument about what needs to be done. It doesn't even try to deflect, dodge, or otherwise interrupt Domon's attack. Sure, Master Asia was still a factor, but the Devil Gundam itself wasn't doing anything that would have stopped Domon from yanking the pair free, throwing them into God Gundam's cockpit, and then high-tailing it out of there to get them some medical attention. Master Asia might also have backed off if Domon had gotten close enough to reach inside the Devil Gundam's cockpit, too, if only to avoid the risk of damaging that vital structure. He ''was'' a little ways away from the area, not right on top of Domon.




to:

** It's never really shown exactly how certain attacks are turned off. For Gundams that carry weapons, the "off switch" seems to be putting the weapon away. It's likely that the chain wouldn't release from the ball unless Argo returned the ball to the holding socket on his Gundam's shoulder. The way his arm was restrained made this impossible at the time.

* They might be capable of dismantling and assembling things on a subatomic level. Sure, it's far fetched, but what about G Gundam isn't, really?
