'''Warning: here be spoilers!'''

[[WMG: VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ 3 will feature one or more of these series: Anime/EurekaSevenAO, the rest of Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann, Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz, Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS: Shining Heresy, Anime/Gundam00AwakeningOfTheTrailblazer, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ ZZ Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Gundam Unicorn]], [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]], Anime/GodMazinger, Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}[=/=][[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL SKL]], the Aquarion OVA[=/=]Anime/AquarionEVOL.]]

They're sequel series/continuations of series already featured in the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' series.

* The Neo-Zeon conflict occurs/builds up in the absence of so many ZEUTH members. Char will join Neo-Zeon and ''finally'' upgrade to the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Sazabi]] (which will probably take up half the animation budget for its attacks).
* Garrod and Gainer acting as Ao's big brothers/adoptive uncles and smacking Renton for suggesting that they should kill off the Scub Coral.
* Mykage and the Altair teaming up with [[BigBad Ba'al]]
* Zen, Amata, Mikono, Mykage and Crea knowing who ZEUTH are in advance.
* Armageddon Ryouma and Shin Mazinger Kouji getting along with Hibino Yamato, Ken Kaido and Ryo Magami.
* Baron Ashura showing up and interacting with the Mazinkaiser SKL plot and/or the God Mazinger plots.
* Vyacheslav Montewells will try to plot against Ba'al.
* Truth has access to the Black Knowledge.
* ELS being a sub-species of the Vajra.
* The first Lockon Stratos will show up in the Anti-Sprial Labyrinth.
** Counter WMG for Unicorn, it doesn't finish its run yet; considering how long Sunrise took to produce previous episodes, it's most likely won't before Z3's released. On other hand, it should have ''Tetsujin 28 FX''.
* Confirmed; it will be called Super Robot Wars Z 3: Jigoku-Hen

[[WMG: Z3 will include a third "Z-World"]]
This world will include ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'', giving the Z series ''every'' main Gundam universe, if not series (see WMG above) to date.

Other possible series' include:

* ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'' or ''Anime/MazinkaiserSKL'': To have a Mazinger in each universe.
** Possibly include both by ZEUTH!Koji upgrading to Mazinkaiser and SKL being from the Z3 universe.
* ''New GetterRobo'': Z1 (ZEUTH) has the classic Getter Team, Z2 has the ''Armageddon'' team. Z3 will include New and/or Getter Emperor and the WarriorHeaven from the end of ''New'' and ''Armageddon''. Getter Emperor will combine with all the other Getters to form an Ultimate Getter big and bad enough to fight alongside TengenToppaGurrenLagann in ''its'' finale.
** Note that combined with the two above, this would make Z fairly all-encompassing for all three of SRW's mainstays.
* The Anime/RobotRomanceTrilogy: As a counterpoint to the Invincible Trio
* Alternately, at least three of the Anime/BraveSeries: For the same reason.
** ''Anime/BraveExkaiser'', ''[[Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine Might Gaine]]'' or ''[[Anime/{{Brave Police J-Decker}} J-Decker]]'', and of course ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''.
* ''Anime/EurekaSevenAO'': since Ao's world is an alternate universe/timeline, Ao probably ends up there.
* A series that nobody thought would ever make it into a Super Robot Wars game, making the fans go wild.
* MegasXLR and SymBionicTitan

[[WMG:Esther will play a more major role in ''Saisei-hen''.]]
Because, really, is there anyone who does ''not'' expect this to happen?
* Confirmed

[[WMG:The [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Glory Star]] will appear in the Second Original Generation]]
According to the official website for the ''Second Original Generation'', the government establishes "GS", a military organization independent of the Earth Federation Army, who answers solely to the current Earth president concerning military problems. Additionally, Aidoneus Island (formerly the Divine Crusaders HQ) is renovated by the government with various projects and weapons, specifically an experimental squadron testing new mobile weapons.

The Glory Star in ''Z'' was an experimental weapons test group, though it turns out to be a cover to try out Setsuko's Sphere. While the appearance of Spheres in ''Original Generation'' is unlikely (given ''Z'' still has yet to cover the full extent of it), the Glory Star appear to cover a wide range of experimental weapons (likely Ing Egret's [=EXbein=] {{Expy}} "Ashe", Ariel Org's Flickerei Geist and possibly even the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX Cerberus, Garmreid and AI-1]]).
* {{Jossed}}

[[WMG:Counter-WMG: "GS" does not stand for "[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Glory Star]]"]]
Two possibilities: "GS" stands for "Gaia Saver", which would mean this organization not only answers solely to the Earth president, but is also a secretly-backed operational force designated to be the last line of Earth defense, in case the current, standing army is ineffective against extraterrestrials. Gaia Saver would also allow a reappearance from Mark Hunter from the same-named ActionRPG from the Super Famicom (how he got from EndlessFrontier to ''Original Generation'' would be another matter).

Alternatively, "GS" stands for "Gaia Saber", in reference to a dialogue between Graien Grasman and Mitsuko Isurugi back in ''Original Generation 2'', where they determine what the Earth needs is not the "Shield of Aegis", but the "Sword of Harpe", prior to the coup d'etat.
* Confirmed. It's Gaia Saver.
** Incorrect: Arteil Steinbeck clearly calls it the latter, despite the subtitle for the ''Second Original Generation'' being "The Gaia Saviour".

[[WMG:''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]]'' and ''[[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crossbone Gundam]]'' will be added to ''Saisei-hen'', to set up ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' in ''Z3''.]]
Because we all know they are going to do ''something'' with Victory, and this would just increase the awesome factor because... it's Crossbone and Crossbone is awesome. Plus, neither has been in a SRW since the Alpha series and they are due for a revisit.
* ZZ could appear in Z3, or if we're lucky, ''Saisei-hen''.
* {{Jossed}}: neither appear in ''Saisei-hen''.

[[WMG: ''Saisei-hen'' will include an optional scenario to prevent the death of [[spoiler: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Nena Trinity]]]]]]
And gives us the databook-only [[http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GNW-20003_Arche_Gundam_Drei Arche Gundam Drei]] (which Regene Regetta failed to deliver thanks to Ribbons' interference) as the closest way to play as Ali's Arche Gundam. Aside of the existing data, VideoGame/SuperRobotWars is known for making what could be impossible be possible, like [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha manning up Shinji Ikari]]. [[spoiler: Nena]] is a popular character in Japan, so this could happen. Plus imagine what would be her joining scene like: A WhatTheHellHero of epic proportions.
* Agree that you should be able to save Nena, but getting Arche Drei sound little too good to be true. Not to mention that, gameplay-wise, Throne Drei with Liang's GN cannon should be more useful.
* Alternately, we may get to save Anew Returner. Yeah, she wouldn't be playable until after Ribbons is dead, but she sure deserves a second chance more than Nena. And frankly, I'd take an addition battleship crew member over the Throne Drei or Arche Drei. The Arche Drei isn't actually a very good machine anyway. Yeah, the beam negation and fang jamming is nice, but it has no offense whatsoever. Seriously, 2 fangs and a beam saber? Maybe if it brought Throne Drei and Liangs weapons it would be good.
** {{Jossed}} for saving [[spoiler: Nena]], but confirmed with Anew.

[[WMG: Depending on your choices in ''Hakai-hen'', [[spoiler: Kamina and Euphemia il Britannia]] may be NotQuiteDead in ''Saisei-hen'']]
So a lot of people on /m/ has been complaining about SRW Z2's linearity? Well I bet that Banepresto is preparing something big to happen for ''Saisei-hen''. Given [[spoiler: Kamina]]'s [[EnsembleDarkhorse popularity]] it is likely that he could be brought back for Part 2. The main reason that [[spoiler: Kamina, Lockon and Euphemia]] died was because their deaths were needed for CharacterDevelopment and story progression, so they can't just avoid their deaths in any game. But it can be argued, with the case of Gai from Nadisco that SRWs can bring a character back to life in a plausible way AFTER CharacterDevelopment that resulted from their deaths has taken place suppose the player fufils specific requirements for their survival. That way fans get their FixFic at the end and CharacterDevelopment still flows properly with the "dead" characters that have caused the CharacterDevelopment to happen emerge as NotQuiteDead when their revival can cause less damage to CharacterDevelopment. Lockon on the other hand..........is pretty much [[KilledOffForReal dead for real]], given the existence of a second Lockon that will take his place. After all, there is a ''[[MeaningfulName reason]]'' that the first part of Z2 is called World Breaking Chapter and the second part Reborn World Chapter.
* Eh, he could come back in a Dynames a la [=TerminExia=] and get a combination attack with [[spoiler: Lockon II]]. It would be awesome but probably not happen.
** Well this IS SRW, and ''anything'' can happen...
* Confirmed for the latter, but only if you hit specific requirements.

[[WMG: Possible Saisei-hen Final scenario]]
[[spoiler: Takes place right at the end of Gurren Lagann's story, everyone elses stories are done, forming an even stronger Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann to fight the Anti Spiral King, and beat him without sacrificing the Mech.... and then Gaioh shows up, declaring that the galaxy sized mecha is close enough to a god to be its opponent, forcing a final battle in Anti Spiral space, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann vs Gaioh.]]
* Uh, it is still a strategy game. Having DuelBoss in final battle would be PostFinalBoss. And I don't want to see [[spoiler: Gaioh]] went down in [[AntiClimaxBoss that fashion]].
* {{Jossed}}...until the next game, perhaps. Arc Gurren Lagann is the final attack of Gurren Lagann, while Chouginga and Tengen Toppa don't show up in the game. As a result, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-A96vSQKvA the Anti-Spiral fights in the Anti Gurren-Lagann with Anti-Spiral Nia]].

[[WMG: The Edel Bernal of ''Z3's'' world will be the game's OriginalGeneration viewpoint character]]

''Z's'' Edel Bernal was an enemy. ''Z2's'' an ally. There's not much else to go from that.

Series]]



[[WMG: Simon will take Noriko and Shinji under his wing.]]
* By the looks of it, these two will certainly be starting out simple while Simon's a manly man. By the end of the game, all three will be piercing the heavens!

[[WMG: Simon will pull the [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan GRIT THOSE TEETH]] on ''Shinji''.]]
* Specifically, when [[TheBerserker Unit-01 has gone 'Beast' Mode]], Simon will have [[CrazyAwesome Gurren Lagann break through it's AT-Field and punch Unit-01 so hard, it knocks 'The Beast' out.]]

[[WMG: ''Jigoku-hen'' is a Gainax Love Letter]]
* Let's face it - it is!



[[WMG: Setsuko and Mail Beater are actually two halves of Dark Brain]]
After somehow acquiring the Twelve Keys, their power proved too great and horrible for even its existence, undergoing a self-induced HeelFaceTurn. To provide itself with a measure of control, it divided itself into two halves; one who drew out the power of the Keys when happy and one when sad, drastically reducing the potential damage that could be caused to reality. The personalities of the two women, both good people at heart, ensured that provided they would meet up, would mean both would not trigger their abilities at the same time. Setsuko's determination to defeat Chimera in fact comes from the fear that someone else may try to claim the power of the Twelve Keys and not learn the lesson that she did.



[[WMG: ''Z'' is linked to ''AnotherCenturysEpisode R'' somehow]]
The two games share a surprising number of series in common (''OvermanKingGainer'', ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'', ''GenesisOfAquarion'', and most importantly ''SuperDimensionCenturyOrguss''), and director Terada said that they had a lot of ideas they wanted to implement in ''Z'' but were unable to; perhaps ''ACE:R'' is the unimplemented ideas, stripped of most of the Supers and turned into an ACE game?
** Actually, the OG universe is linked to ACE R, Ryusei, Kyosuke, and Masaki are getting warped to what's left of the planet Aria.

[[WMG:Gilliam Yeager will appear in Z2]]
Gilliam is a dimension traveller, and dimensional travel forms part of Z's plot. Gilliam was originally a member of an organisation called ZEUS, of which ZEUTH is just an {{Engrish}} version. Added to that, his namesake Chuck Yeager was central to the book ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_Stuff_%28book%29 The Right Stuff]]'', which Z gives a ShoutOut to as the name of the Glory Star squad's theme music.
* Alternately, Cobray Gordon could show up. Or both, both would be cool.
** {{Jossed}} on both accounts.

[[WMG: Kyosuke and Ryusei were sent after ''[[VideoGame/AnotherCenturysEpisode ACE:R]]'', to an Alternate Earth]]

As noted Ryusei and Kyosuke [[spoiler: wasn't sent back to their reality when Autumn-four sent them back.]] This will be use to play for ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDestiny SRWD]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK SRWK]]'', ACE:2/3 Final , and where ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Rand Travis will come from]]''. The main purpose of this second world is make the ''[[AfterTheEnd After the End World]]'' that is part of those games, "Earth B".

As such Kyosuke and Ryusei will find themselves against the ''[[EldritchAbomination Ruina]]'' helping Joshua and Cliana fight them, as well as trying to recover this forsaken world from the UCE Government, finding Mist which would be the prolouge to K, and finding a way home.

During this in "Earth A" the Story would start as shown in ACE:R with ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX Hugo & Aqua's story]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Alpha 2's plot]]'' which would lead to [[spoiler:Bullet's ''[[BrainwashedAndCrazy Brainwashing]]'' and Filio's & (maybe) Sophia's Death]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsEX SRWEX]]''/''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4 SRW4]]'' which may lead the EFA army to La-Gias.

The Game Engine may newly include ''[[BagOfSharing Bag of Sharing(No matter how unbeliveable it looks to prevent Gamers not to downplay one group]]'' and route split like ACE:3 seeing what happening in each world and then choosing which world to go to.

As such "Earth A" in ACE and SRWK is actually "Earth B" in terms of setting, but "Earth A" in their point-of-view. And that Kyosuke and Ryusei may not return home for a while...
* {{Jossed}}: Kyosuke and Ryusei wound up in La Gias, just like Masaki at the end of ACE:R.



[[WMG:[[{{Dancougar}} The Muge Zorbados Empire]] and the ''ShinMazinger'' version of [[GreatMazinger Mycenae]] will mostly conquer the world between the two parts of Z2.]]
Because the ending of ''ShinMazinger'' just leads so well into the beginning of ''{{Dancougar}}''.
* Unlikely. While I agree that they will conquer some part of Earth, the OneWorldOrder compose of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Earth Sphere Federation]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing OZ]] and [[Anime/CodeGeass Britania]] will be in their way.
** True; although the question remains about whether or not that is a good thing...
* {{Jossed}}; apparently the Z2 ''{{Dancougar}}'' team has already defeated the Muge Zorbados Empire, and ShinMazinger does not even finish its plot in Z...

[[WMG:Esther will play a more major role in ''Saisei-hen''.]]

** Well this IS SRW, and ""anything"" can happen...
* Confirmed for the latter, but only if you hit specific requirements.



[[WMG:''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]]'' and ''[[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crossbone Gundam]]'' will be added to ''Saisei-hen'', to set up ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' in ''Z3''.]]

''Z's'' Edel Bernal was an enemy. ''Z2's'' an ally. There's not much else to go from that.

[[WMG: There will be no Z3.]]
Since Asakim's KarmaHoudini status is averted in Saisei Hen and there's no SequelHook in Saisei Hen, and given the fact that Gundam 00 A wakening of the Trailblaze is set to appear in Super Robot Wars UX. It's highly possible that there's no Z3. As for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, we have wait for another SRW game.
** Sequel hook? Taichi and whole Holy War? Baal, the being that kicked Gaioh's ass?
* Jossed; it will be called Super Robot Wars Z 3: Jigoku-Hen

[[WMG: The Edel Bernal will be back as the final boss in Z2.]]
Sure you fix the dimensional collapse he caused but you didn't actually permanently kill him.
Which means he's probably still out there trying to repeat the process again. Plus he's just too awesome and amusing a villain not to use again.
* He's killed, at least in normal and good ending. Setsuko's (or Mel's in Rand route) sphere absorb his very soul as she stop him from attack Kei and Orson. This is because Edel has the replica of her sphere.
** Which just leaves the possibility of The Edel [[GrandTheftMe taking over Setsuko or Mel's body from the sphere.]]

[[WMG: Setsuko and Mail Beater are actually two halves of Dark Brain]]
After somehow acquiring the Twelve Keys, their power proved too great and horrible for even its existence, undergoing a self-induced HeelFaceTurn. To provide itself with a measure of control, it divided itself into two halves; one who drew out the power of the Keys when happy and one when sad, drastically reducing the potential damage that could be caused to reality. The personalities of the two women, both good people at heart, ensured that provided they would meet up, would mean both would not trigger their abilities at the same time. Setsuko's determination to defeat Chimera in fact comes from the fear that someone else may try to claim the power of the Twelve Keys and not learn the lesson that she did.

Added to that, his namesake Chuck Yeager was central to the book ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_Stuff_%28book%29 The Right Stuff]]'', which Z gives a ShoutOut to as the name of the Glory Star squad's theme music.

[[WMG:Esther will play a more major role in ''Saisei-hen''.]]
Because, really, is there anyone who does ''not'' expect this to happen?
* Confirmed

[[WMG:''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]]'' and ''[[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crossbone Gundam]]'' will be added to ''Saisei-hen'', to set up ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' in ''Z3''.]]
Because we all know they are going to do ''something'' with Victory, and this would just increase the awesome factor because... it's Crossbone and Crossbone is awesome. Plus, neither has been in a SRW since the Alpha series and they are due for a revisit.
* ZZ could appear in Z3, or if we're lucky, ''Saisei-hen''.
* {{Jossed}}: neither appear in ''Saisei-hen''.

[[WMG: ''Saisei-hen'' will include an optional scenario to prevent the death of [[spoiler: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Nena Trinity]]]]]]
And gives us the databook-only [[http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GNW-20003_Arche_Gundam_Drei Arche Gundam Drei]] (which Regene Regetta failed to deliver thanks to Ribbons' interference) as the closest way to play as Ali's Arche Gundam.

[[WMG: Depending on your choices in ''Hakai-hen'', [[spoiler: Kamina and Euphemia il Britannia]] may be NotQuiteDead in ''Saisei-hen'']]
So a lot of people on /m/ has been complaining about SRW Z2's linearity? Well I bet that Banepresto is preparing something big to happen for ''Saisei-hen''. Given [[spoiler: Kamina]]'s [[EnsembleDarkhorse popularity]] it is likely that he could be brought back for Part 2. The main reason that [[spoiler: Kamina, Lockon and Euphemia]] died was because their deaths were needed for CharacterDevelopment and story progression, so they can't just avoid their deaths in any game. But it can be argued, with the case of Gai from Nadisco that SRWs can bring a character back to life in a plausible way AFTER CharacterDevelopment that resulted from their deaths has taken place suppose the player fufils specific requirements for their survival. That way fans get their FixFic at the end and CharacterDevelopment still flows properly with the "dead" characters that have caused the CharacterDevelopment to happen emerge as NotQuiteDead when their revival can cause less damage to CharacterDevelopment. Lockon on the other hand..........is pretty much [[KilledOffForReal dead for real]], given the existence of a second Lockon that will take his place. After all, there is a ''[[MeaningfulName reason]]'' that the first part of Z2 is called World Breaking Chapter and the second part Reborn World Chapter.
* Eh, he could come back in a Dynames a la [=TerminExia=] and get a combination attack with [[spoiler: Lockon II]]. It would be awesome but probably not happen.
** Well this IS SRW, and ''anything'' can happen...
* Confirmed for the latter, but only if you hit specific requirements.

[[WMG: Possible Saisei-hen Final scenario]]

[[WMG:[[{{Dancougar}} The Muge Zorbados Empire]] and the ''ShinMazinger'' version of [[GreatMazinger Mycenae]] will mostly conquer the world between the two parts of Z2.]]
Because the ending of ''ShinMazinger'' just leads so well into the beginning of ''{{Dancougar}}''.
* Unlikely. While I agree that they will conquer some part of Earth, the OneWorldOrder compose of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Earth Sphere Federation]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing OZ]] and [[Anime/CodeGeass Britania]] will be in their way.
** True; although the question remains about whether or not that is a good thing...
* {{Jossed}}; apparently the Z2 ''{{Dancougar}}'' team has already defeated the Muge Zorbados Empire, and ShinMazinger does not even finish its plot in Z...

[[WMG: The Edel Bernal will be back as the final boss in Z2.]]

[[folder:Third Super Robot Wars Z]]

[[WMG: VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ 3 will feature one or more of these series: Anime/EurekaSevenAO, the rest of Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann, Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz, Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS: Shining Heresy, Anime/Gundam00AwakeningOfTheTrailblazer, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ ZZ Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Gundam Unicorn]], [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]], Anime/GodMazinger, Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}[=/=][[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL SKL]], the Aquarion OVA[=/=]Anime/AquarionEVOL.]]

They're sequel series/continuations of series already featured in the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' series.

* The Neo-Zeon conflict occurs/builds up in the absence of so many ZEUTH members. Char will join Neo-Zeon and ''finally'' upgrade to the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Sazabi]] (which will probably take up half the animation budget for its attacks).
* Garrod and Gainer acting as Ao's big brothers/adoptive uncles and smacking Renton for suggesting that they should kill off the Scub Coral.
* Mykage and the Altair teaming up with [[BigBad Ba'al]]
* Zen, Amata, Mikono, Mykage and Crea knowing who ZEUTH are in advance.
* Armageddon Ryouma and Shin Mazinger Kouji getting along with Hibino Yamato, Ken Kaido and Ryo Magami.
* Baron Ashura showing up and interacting with the Mazinkaiser SKL plot and/or the God Mazinger plots.
* Vyacheslav Montewells will try to plot against Ba'al.
* Truth has access to the Black Knowledge.
* ELS being a sub-species of the Vajra.
* The first Lockon Stratos will show up in the Anti-Sprial Labyrinth.
** Counter WMG for Unicorn, it doesn't finish its run yet; considering how long Sunrise took to produce previous episodes, it's most likely won't before Z3's released. On other hand, it should have ''Tetsujin 28 FX''.
* Confirmed; it will be called Super Robot Wars Z 3: Jigoku-Hen

[[WMG: Z3 will include a third "Z-World"]]
This world will include ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'', giving the Z series ''every'' main Gundam universe, if not series (see WMG above) to date.

Other possible series' include:

* ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'' or ''Anime/MazinkaiserSKL'': To have a Mazinger in each universe.
** Possibly include both by ZEUTH!Koji upgrading to Mazinkaiser and SKL being from the Z3 universe.
* ''New GetterRobo'': Z1 (ZEUTH) has the classic Getter Team, Z2 has the ''Armageddon'' team. Z3 will include New and/or Getter Emperor and the WarriorHeaven from the end of ''New'' and ''Armageddon''. Getter Emperor will combine with all the other Getters to form an Ultimate Getter big and bad enough to fight alongside TengenToppaGurrenLagann in ''its'' finale.
** Note that combined with the two above, this would make Z fairly all-encompassing for all three of SRW's mainstays.
* The Anime/RobotRomanceTrilogy: As a counterpoint to the Invincible Trio
* Alternately, at least three of the Anime/BraveSeries: For the same reason.
** ''Anime/BraveExkaiser'', ''[[Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine Might Gaine]]'' or ''[[Anime/{{Brave Police J-Decker}} J-Decker]]'', and of course ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''.
* ''Anime/EurekaSevenAO'': since Ao's world is an alternate universe/timeline, Ao probably ends up there.
* A series that nobody thought would ever make it into a Super Robot Wars game, making the fans go wild.
* MegasXLR and SymBionicTitan

[[WMG: The Edel Bernal of ''Z3's'' world will be the game's OriginalGeneration viewpoint character]]

''Z's'' Edel Bernal was an enemy. ''Z2's'' an ally. There's not much else to go from that.

[[WMG: Simon will pull the [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan GRIT THOSE TEETH]] on ''Shinji''.]]
* Specifically, when [[TheBerserker Unit-01 has gone 'Beast' Mode]], Simon will have [[CrazyAwesome Gurren Lagann break through it's AT-Field and punch Unit-01 so hard, it knocks 'The Beast' out.]]

[[WMG: ''Jigoku-hen'' is a Gainax Love Letter]]
* Let's face it - it is!

[[WMG: There will be no Z3.]]
Since Asakim's KarmaHoudini status is averted in Saisei Hen and there's no SequelHook in Saisei Hen, and given the fact that Gundam 00 A wakening of the Trailblaze is set to appear in Super Robot Wars UX.

* Let's face it - it is!is!

[[WMG: Asakim Dowin is Masaki Andoh's Shadow Mirror-verse Main/EvilTwin]]
[[Main/SignificantAnagram It's pretty obvious really]], but I thought I'd throw it out there.
* If Axel fought Masaki in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration 2'', he'd remark that he knows about Cybuster and wants to have a chance to fight it, but never know it. Considering Asakim never referred his Shurouga as 'Cybuster'... how could the Shadow Mirror and Axel call it 'Cybuster'? Can't be Asakim, as much as this seems to be a cool concept...
** Well, it's like Lemon. Asakim used to be Masaki and Shouroga used to be Cybuster, but something happened to them, most likely connected to whatever sin Asakim committed that got him cursed with immortality. This most likely happened to them while they were back in La Gias, and anyone who'd heard of Cybuster on the surface probably didn't hear about it. Of course my other alternate theory is that this isn't a Masaki at all, but an alternate Shu, and Shouroga's appearance/attacks and Masaki's voice actor are just redherrings that have some crazy explaination, but I'm not sure how to justify that, aside from him looking like Shu to me.
*** That's if there's one La Gias per dimension, if La Gias turns out to be another 'exclusive' thing... But it's most likely La Gias has its doubles.
**** There are multiple La Giases. So far there's at least 3 (SRW 2-F-Final La Gias, Alphaverse La Gias, and OG La Gias)

[[WMG: There is more of the likes of Asakim, coming from a reversed La Gias]]

Okay this may be a bit off, but it is possible that the Shadow Mirror La Gias is twisted beyond hell that it creates something like Asakim out of the Masaki of that dimension. Perhaps the La Gias inside that dimension is anti-La Gias, instead of mildly peaceful with occasional civil wars here and there, it could be a La Gias where Shiva Volkruss prevails and rules with an iron fist. Masaki was a SociopathicHero at first, when one of his sociopathy turned into a sin that got him caught and cursed with immortality and becomes Asakim, the more he spends his time, the more he forgot about his 'Heroic' part and turns into a villain who only cared about [[DeathSeeker how to get himself killed]].

Like how Asakim is Not-Masaki, there could also be Not-Yang Long, Not-Tytti and Not-Mio, with their dark versions of Granveil, Goddess and Zamzeed. They could be allies to Asakim when he was Masaki, but were also punished and now went separate ways, becoming evil in their own way; or they could be part of the corrupted La Gias who were responsible of capturing and punishing Asakim with immortality. And besides, if you want to imagine how Not-Tytti sounds, it's easy. Just imagine [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear one certain megalomaniacal guitar-wielding bitch]].
* That's assuming that they start focusing on La Gias again and bring the other Elemental Lords back into the games at some point in the future. That might be possible considering Asakim's introduction might mean they'll be focusing more on the Masoukishin storyline in the future. Alternately, La Gias wasn't really that different from other versions, but something horrible happened to Masaki in that world that warped him beyond recognition and turned Cybuster into Shouroga. His sin is that he killed the other Elemental Lords, and maybe more than just them, in a fit of [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity insanity]] as a result of this change. For this, he was cursed with immortality and banished. This would explain why he's so emo and determined to break the curse, no matter what it took. In this case, he wouldn't be a SociopathicHero who forgot the "hero" part, but a guy like the Masaki we all know who got [[TraumaCongaLine broken really badly]] and [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope fell down the slippery slope]] pretty hard after, eventually becoming the villain from Z, or just went plain crazy. Either way, Asakim's a FallenHero. Doesn't change the fact that he's a bastard though.
** We're not sure if Asakim's sin is killing his dimension's versions of Yang Long, Tytti and Mio. In any case, it's also possible that the three could return evil, in separate games. In fact, if SRW K still deals with the Holy War that Asakim mentions, one of them (corrupted version) may make appearance there. OR, if they don't want to bother with that, they could turn Yang Long and Tytti into their respective Ruina generals Ignis and Glacies. But that'll mean leaving Mio out... unless of course, Mio never appeared and Ricardo is the only Herald of Zamzeed, and his death went uncorrupted.
*** Well really we don't know what Asakim's sin is at all. I just picked the one that seemed most likely cause Masaki to turn into a bad guy. This still all depends on whether or not Banpresto will start focusing on Masaki's story again.
** If Terada is making up Not-Yang Long, Not-Tytti or Not-Mio, they do not need to link back to the Elemental Lords. Remember, even when Asakim is introduced, he's not seen within the vicinity of Masaki. The dark versions of the Heralds need not to be placed alongside the 'good' heralds, just like how there's no Masaki around when there is Asakim.

[[WMG: Setsuko and Mail Beater are actually two halves of Dark Brain]]
After somehow acquiring the Twelve Keys, their power proved too great and horrible for even its existence, undergoing a self-induced HeelFaceTurn. To provide itself with a measure of control, it divided itself into two halves; one who drew out the power of the Keys when happy and one when sad, drastically reducing the potential damage that could be caused to reality. The personalities of the two women, both good people at heart, ensured that provided they would meet up, would mean both would not trigger their abilities at the same time. Setsuko's determination to defeat Chimera in fact comes from the fear that someone else may try to claim the power of the Twelve Keys and not learn the lesson that she did.

[[WMG: The last game in SRW Z timeline will include {{Bokurano}}]]

If they keep the dimensional conflict theme and darker tone that is. The dimensional robots like Zearth are yet another creation of Taichi as tools to destroy ''unworthy'' worlds, indirectly force the Sphere holders to finish the holy war. And the game possibly being first that loaded with BadEnding with worlds being destroyed left and right.
* And to add some interesting battle, Bokurano stage will feature ''alternate'' player team on enemy side (you known, every SuperRobot love their world). It would be cool if two version of Gaiking and Mazinger crash, and you damn the ''other side'' to perish forever.
** Pah. Far, ''far'', '''''far''''' more awesome would be a recreation of the @3 manga's final battle, where the two sides TakeAThirdOption and team up to blow the bad guys right out of the universe. Bonus points if the "enemy" force contains the {{Original Generation}}s regulars, and ''monster'' bonus points if we get a team attack from [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Sanger]] and [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Sanger]] and Wodan.

[[WMG: ''Z'' is linked to ''AnotherCenturysEpisode R'' somehow]]
The two games share a surprising number of series in common (''OvermanKingGainer'', ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'', ''GenesisOfAquarion'', and most importantly ''SuperDimensionCenturyOrguss''), and director Terada said that they had a lot of ideas they wanted to implement in ''Z'' but were unable to; perhaps ''ACE:R'' is the unimplemented ideas, stripped of most of the Supers and turned into an ACE game?

[[WMG:Gilliam Yeager will appear in Z2]]

Added to that, his namesake Chuck Yeager was central to the book ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_Stuff_%28book%29 The Right Stuff]]'', which Z gives a ShoutOut to as the name of the Glory Star squad's theme music.
* Alternately, Cobray Gordon could show up. Or both, both would be cool.
** {{Jossed}} on both accounts.

[[WMG: Kyosuke and Ryusei were sent after ''[[VideoGame/AnotherCenturysEpisode ACE:R]]'', to an Alternate Earth]]

As noted Ryusei and Kyosuke [[spoiler: wasn't sent back to their reality when Autumn-four sent them back.]] This will be use to play for ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDestiny SRWD]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK SRWK]]'', ACE:2/3 Final , and where ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Rand Travis will come from]]''. The main purpose of this second world is make the ''[[AfterTheEnd After the End World]]'' that is part of those games, "Earth B".

As such Kyosuke and Ryusei will find themselves against the ''[[EldritchAbomination Ruina]]'' helping Joshua and Cliana fight them, as well as trying to recover this forsaken world from the UCE Government, finding Mist which would be the prolouge to K, and finding a way home.

During this in "Earth A" the Story would start as shown in ACE:R with ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX Hugo & Aqua's story]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Alpha 2's plot]]'' which would lead to [[spoiler:Bullet's ''[[BrainwashedAndCrazy Brainwashing]]'' and Filio's & (maybe) Sophia's Death]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsEX SRWEX]]''/''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4 SRW4]]'' which may lead the EFA army to La-Gias.

The Game Engine may newly include ''[[BagOfSharing Bag of Sharing(No matter how unbeliveable it looks to prevent Gamers not to downplay one group]]'' and route split like ACE:3 seeing what happening in each world and then choosing which world to go to.

As such "Earth A" in ACE and SRWK is actually "Earth B" in terms of setting, but "Earth A" in their point-of-view. And that Kyosuke and Ryusei may not return home for a while...
* {{Jossed}}: Kyosuke and Ryusei wound up in La Gias, just like Masaki at the end of ACE:R.

[[WMG: Asakim is yet another mask of [[CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]].]]
Come on. His dominate color is black, is [[DracoInLeatherPants very charming]], and currently working in grand scheme of CosmicHorrorStory. And as we known, Nyarly can [[GrandTheftMe take possession of human's body]]. It will make more sense if future Z title include {{Demonbane}}.

[[WMG:[[{{Dancougar}} The Muge Zorbados Empire]] and the ''ShinMazinger'' version of [[GreatMazinger Mycenae]] will mostly conquer the world between the two parts of Z2.]]
Because the ending of ''ShinMazinger'' just leads so well into the beginning of ''{{Dancougar}}''.
* Unlikely. While I agree that they will conquer some part of Earth, the OneWorldOrder compose of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Earth Sphere Federation]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing OZ]] and [[Anime/CodeGeass Britania]] will be in their way.
** True; although the question remains about whether or not that is a good thing...
* {{Jossed}}; apparently the Z2 ''{{Dancougar}}'' team has already defeated the Muge Zorbados Empire, and ShinMazinger does not even finish its plot in Z...

[[WMG:Esther will play a more major role in ''Saisei-hen''.]]
Because, really, is there anyone who does ''not'' expect this to happen?
* Confirmed

[[WMG: Depending on your choices in ''Hakai-hen'', [[spoiler: Kamina and Euphemia il Britannia]] may be NotQuiteDead in ''Saisei-hen'']]
So a lot of people on /m/ has been complaining about SRW Z2's linearity? Well I bet that Banepresto is preparing something big to happen for ''Saisei-hen''. Given [[spoiler: Kamina]]'s [[EnsembleDarkhorse popularity]] it is likely that he could be brought back for Part 2. The main reason that [[spoiler: Kamina, Lockon and Euphemia]] died was because their deaths were needed for CharacterDevelopment and story progression, so they can't just avoid their deaths in any game. But it can be argued, with the case of Gai from Nadisco that SRWs can bring a character back to life in a plausible way AFTER CharacterDevelopment that resulted from their deaths has taken place suppose the player fufils specific requirements for their survival. That way fans get their FixFic at the end and CharacterDevelopment still flows properly with the "dead" characters that have caused the CharacterDevelopment to happen emerge as NotQuiteDead when their revival can cause less damage to CharacterDevelopment. Lockon on the other hand..........is pretty much [[KilledOffForReal dead for real]], given the existence of a second Lockon that will take his place. After all, there is a ''[[MeaningfulName reason]]'' that the first part of Z2 is called World Breaking Chapter and the second part Reborn World Chapter.
* Eh, he could come back in a Dynames a la [=TerminExia=] and get a combination attack with [[spoiler: Lockon II]]. It would be awesome but probably not happen.
** Well this IS SRW, and ""anything"" can happen...
* Confirmed for the latter, but only if you hit specific requirements.

[[WMG: After Z3 is finished, there will be a "SRW All Stars" game for the PS3.]]
...Which will feature characters from the Alpha, Z, and NEO, as well as J, W and K. Also, the new additions in this teamup will have mechs from ''UFO Dai Apollon'', ''Baratack'', ''Gundam Unicorn'', ''Gundam 00: Awakening of the Trailblazer'', ''Brave [=ExKaiser=]'', ''Might Gaine'', ''[=J-Decker=]'', ''Goldran'', ''Dagwon'', ''Dai Rugger XV'', ''Albegas'', ''Macross Dynamite 7'', ''Blocker Gundan IV Machine Blaster'', ''Ginguiser'', ''Groizer X'', ''Astroganger'', ''Laserion'', and more. Plus the SRW debut of ''Gundam [=BattleField=] Record 0081'' and ''Brave Saint Baan Gaan'' (If Daiteioh dubuted in NEO, so can this one), and the return of ''Mechander Robo'', ''Vision of Escaflowne'' and ''Ninja Senshi Tobikage''.
Not to mention online play with teamup online play too.
** Who said that there will be a Z3?
*** When Z2 Saisen-hen is done, there would be one, although it'll take a long time.
** Are you assuming that ''A Wakening'' is ''not'' going to be in Z3? Seems like a bit of a leap. It will probably be a long wait until Z3 is even out, so Unicorn might even be able to be thrown in there.

[[WMG:''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Gundam F91]]'' and ''[[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crossbone Gundam]]'' will be added to ''Saisei-hen'', to set up ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' in ''Z3''.]]
Because we all know they are going to do ''something'' with Victory, and this would just increase the awesome factor because... it's Crossbone and Crossbone is awesome. Plus, neither has been in a SRW since the Alpha series and they are due for a revisit.
** I also expect ZZ to appear in Z3, or if we're lucky, ''Saisei-hen''.
* {{Jossed}}: neither appear in ''Saisei-hen''.

[[WMG: ''Saisei-hen'' will include an optional scenario to prevent the death of [[spoiler: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Nena Trinity]]]]]]
And gives us the databook-only [[http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GNW-20003_Arche_Gundam_Drei Arche Gundam Drei]] (which Regene Regetta failed to deliver thanks to Ribbons' interference) as the closest way to play as Ali's Arche Gundam. Aside of the existing data, VideoGame/SuperRobotWars is known for making what could be impossible be possible, like [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha manning up Shinji Ikari]]. [[spoiler: Nena]] is a popular character in Japan, so this could happen. Plus imagine what would be her joining scene like: A WhatTheHellHero of epic proportions.
* Agree that you should be able to save Nena, but getting Arche Drei sound little too good to be true. Not to mention that, gameplay-wise, Throne Drei with Liang's GN cannon should be more useful.
* Alternately, we may get to save Anew Returner. Yeah, she wouldn't be playable until after Ribbons is dead, but she sure deserves a second chance more than Nena. And frankly, I'd take an addition battleship crew member over the Throne Drei or Arche Drei. The Arche Drei isn't actually a very good machine anyway. Yeah, the beam negation and fang jamming is nice, but it has no offense whatsoever. Seriously, 2 fangs and a beam saber? Maybe if it brought Throne Drei and Liangs weapons it would be good.
** {{Jossed}} for saving [[spoiler: Nena]], but confirmed with Anew.

[[WMG: Possible Saisei-hen Final scenario]]
[[spoiler: Takes place right at the end of Gurren Lagann's story, everyone elses stories are done, forming an even stronger Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann to fight the Anti Spiral King, and beat him without sacrificing the Mech.... and then Gaioh shows up, declaring that the galaxy sized mecha is close enough to a god to be its opponent, forcing a final battle in Anti Spiral space, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann vs Gaioh.]]
* Uh, it is still a strategy game. Having DuelBoss in final battle would be PostFinalBoss. And I don't want to see [[spoiler: Gaioh]] went down in [[AntiClimaxBoss that fashion]].
* {{Jossed}}...until the next game, perhaps. Arc Gurren Lagann is the final attack of Gurren Lagann, while Chouginga and Tengen Toppa don't show up in the game. As a result, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-A96vSQKvA the Anti-Spiral fights in the Anti Gurren-Lagann with Anti-Spiral Nia]].

[[WMG: Asakim is Crowe]]
Come to think of it, Brasta and Shurouga really looks rather simmilar, in which Shurouga is more gold than white. It can be that the misfortune caused by the sphere doesnt get better and Crowe is overloaded by the power that come from the misfortune without getting the enough number of fortune to balance it out, thus turns him into the twisted being that is Asakim. Not to mention Crow(e) is commonly associated with Death and Misfortune. Considering the fact that Crowe is a HeManWomanHater and what Asakim does with Setsuko (Sphere power aside) and Xine...
* Unless Asakim is Crowe from the future, and not some AlternateUniverse counterpart (to which it would violate the ''Z'' rule of NeverTheSelvesShallMeet), perhaps....but even then, that's seems improbable.

[[WMG: Between the ''Z'' games, Asakim did not kill [[spoiler: Xine]]]]
Let's face facts: it's been heavily implied that [[spoiler: Xine]] was the one who Asakim got the Truthful Goat and there are enough clues to help support that. However, CHIMERA and The Edel also come into consideration with this. The entire reason that CHIMERA warms up to ZEUTH in SRW Z is purely so they can gain access to the protagonist's Sphere and can make a copy of it. If one of their own was in possession of a Sphere then this convoluted plan would be wholly unnecessary and not to mention ''more dangerous'', since what eventually gets the better of The Edel is getting absorbed in the original version of the Sphere of his copy because of a reaction between the two.

There is also Asakim's behavior in the original game as well, and his tendency to explain himself to some degree. Even in Rand's route, where he vehemently denies being involved with Setsuko, his body language while saying that undermines the claims. In short, he's pulling a reverse-Aim. No matter how much he's trying to bullshit everyone, he can't help but leave a clue behind. This would mean that the Truthful Goat was already in his possession and when he tells Xine to live freely, with an honest smile, he genuinely meant it because his involvement with her had reached its end.

As for why it takes Asakim so long to use the Truthful Goat when he's had it all this time? That's because he doesn't know ''how''. It's not until Saisei-hen, when Asakim destroys a ZONE, that he figures that out by gaining some of the Black Knowledge.

Besides, when's the last time Banpresto killed a character off-screen like that? Ingram in the Alpha games?
* They did just give [[spoiler: Filio Presty]] in the ''Second Original Generation'' a BusCrash. Nothing's stopping Banpresto from doing this again.

[[WMG: The Edel Bernal of ''Z3's'' world will be the game's OriginalGeneration viewpoint character]]

''Z's'' Edel Bernal was an enemy. ''Z2's'' an ally. There's not much else to go from that.

[[WMG: There will be no Z3.]]
Since Asakim's KarmaHoudini status is averted in Saisei Hen and there's no SequelHook in Saisei Hen, and given the fact that Gundam 00 A wakening of the Trailblaze is set to appear in Super Robot Wars UX. It's highly possible that there's no Z3. As for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, we have wait for another SRW game.
** Sequel hook? Taichi and whole Holy War? Baal, the being that kicked Gaioh's ass?
* Jossed; it will be called Super Robot Wars Z 3: Jigoku-Hen

[[WMG: The Edel Bernal will be back as the final boss in Z2.]]
Sure you fix the dimensional collapse he caused but you didn't actually permanently kill him.
Which means he's probably still out there trying to repeat the process again. Plus he's just too awesome and amusing a villain not to use again.
* He's killed, at least in normal and good ending. Setsuko's (or Mel's in Rand route) sphere absorb his very soul as she stop him from attack Kei and Orson. This is because Edel has the replica of her sphere.
** Which just leaves the possibility of The Edel [[GrandTheftMe taking over Setsuko or Mel's body from the sphere.]]
** {{Jossed}}. There is an Edel Bernal in Z2, [[spoiler: but he's on your side]].

[[WMG: Gaioh is [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Guy Shishioh ]] who somehow survived after the end of GAOGAIGAR : FINAL and thrown into Z universe]]
Gaioh's name sounds like Mix between Gai + Shishioh. also, Gaioh's nickname( King of destruction ), sounds like a combination between King of The Braves and The God Of Destruction ( which both are Guy's nickname ).

[[WMG:The [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Glory Star]] will appear in the Second Original Generation]]
According to the official website for the ''Second Original Generation'', the government establishes "GS", a military organization independent of the Earth Federation Army, who answers solely to the current Earth president concerning military problems. Additionally, Aidoneus Island (formerly the Divine Crusaders HQ) is renovated by the government with various projects and weapons, specifically an experimental squadron testing new mobile weapons.

The Glory Star in ''Z'' was an experimental weapons test group, though it turns out to be a cover to try out Setsuko's Sphere. While the appearance of Spheres in ''Original Generation'' is unlikely (given ''Z'' still has yet to cover the full extent of it), the Glory Star appear to cover a wide range of experimental weapons (likely Ing Egret's [=EXbein=] {{Expy}} "Ashe", Ariel Org's Flickerei Geist and possibly even the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX Cerberus, Garmreid and AI-1]]).
* {{Jossed}}

[[WMG:Counter-WMG: "GS" does not stand for "[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Glory Star]]"]]
Two possibilities: "GS" stands for "Gaia Saver", which would mean this organization not only answers solely to the Earth president, but is also a secretly-backed operational force designated to be the last line of Earth defense, in case the current, standing army is ineffective against extraterrestrials. Gaia Saver would also allow a reappearance from Mark Hunter from the same-named ActionRPG from the Super Famicom (how he got from EndlessFrontier to ''Original Generation'' would be another matter).

Alternatively, "GS" stands for "Gaia Saber", in reference to a dialogue between Graien Grasman and Mitsuko Isurugi back in ''Original Generation 2'', where they determine what the Earth needs is not the "Shield of Aegis", but the "Sword of Harpe", prior to the coup d'etat.
* Confirmed. It's Gaia Saver.
** Incorrect: Arteil Steinbeck clearly calls it the latter, despite the subtitle for the ''Second Original Generation'' being "The Gaia Saviour".

[[WMG: Depending on your choices in ''Hakai-hen'', [[spoiler: Kamina and Euphemia il Britannia]] may be NotQuiteDead in ''Saisei-hen'']]

* ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'' or ''Anime/MazinkaiserSKL'': To have a Mazinger in each universe.
** Possibly include both by ZEUTH!Koji upgrading to Mazinkaiser and SKL being from the Z3 universe.
* ''New GetterRobo'': Z1 (ZEUTH) has the classic Getter Team, Z2 has the ''Armageddon'' team. Z3 will include New and/or Getter Emperor and the WarriorHeaven from the end of ''New'' and ''Armageddon''. Getter Emperor will combine with all the other Getters to form an Ultimate Getter big and bad enough to fight alongside TengenToppaGurrenLagann in ''its'' finale.
** Note that combined with the two above, this would make Z fairly all-encompassing for all three of SRW's mainstays.

'''Warning: here be spoilers!'''

[[WMG:Let's kick things off right: "Asakim Dowin" is in fact Masaki Andoh, or at least some version of him]]
This one both is and isn't obvious - it's almost right there in the name, and of course the Shurouga is an Evil Cybuster. But it could also be obvious misdirection or just putting a twist on a character archetype.

As of ''Z2 Saisei'', though, we know quite a bit about the mechanics behind dimensional travel and the Wanderer's Curse. What we know, and what we've seen of Asakim, begin to reinforce the idea that he '''is''' some version of Masaki Andoh on a far more fundamental level. To wit:
* ''The Wanderer's Curse is non-voluntary and can be gained simply by acting altruistically.'' This is what's happened to all our poor protagonists as of the end of ''Saisei'' - through no real fault of their own, aside from wanting to help others, they've all gained the brand of Wandering. While Asakim has referred to his brand as "punishment" in the past, it seems very possible, perhaps even likely, that his was simply gained through actions just like those of our heroes - he tried to fight the forces threatening the world he came from and ended up cursed to fight forever, and that his thinking of it as punishment is either deliberate melodrama for effect on our heroes, or ''self-deceiving'' melodrama brought on by his circumstances. (It'd be very hard to remain objective about what's happened to him, after all.) And the Masaki seen in various other ''SRW'' products would easily end up in such a situation, when faced with dimensional rifts, due to his natural altruism and heroic spirit.
* ''Relatedly, a person cannot enter a world where they already exist.'' Exactly how tight this restriction is hasn't been made ''entirely'' clear yet - whether a person cannot simply replace their ''living'' self or if they lived at any point and are barred entry. The former seems somewhat more likely, given that nothing in particular should be stopping Char Aznable or Amuro Ray from having lived in the ''Z2'' setting but simply not having had their legendary lives. This is why we've never seen Masaki and Asakim together - the two cannot coexist, because "Asakim" can only manifest in a world where his other self either never existed or has already ceased to exist.
* ''The various images in the Ley Buster.'' They've been the source of speculation for ages now, and for a long time whether they had any meaning at all was debated, but with Crowe's appearance it's clear that they're all meant to depict events that either happened or will happen. Moreover, his shadow in one of the images in ''Z1'' clearly shows Masaki, thanks to the coat, and the "cats" make an appearance. Most of this imagery only makes sense in the context that he is, indeed, Masaki Andoh, particularly as he refers to what we see as "his sin(s)", among other things.
* ''Asakim is has much more knowledge of the greater forces at work here than was initially obvious.'' In ''Z1'' he simply was cruel to Setsuko to stimulate her Sphere as quickly as possible. Once we saw him being civil in ''Z2'', however, it rapidly became obvious that he had substantial knowledge of whatever the "taiji" is, and he seems to know the proper form of whatever this "greater threat" that Gaioh had to fight was (and may even have participated in fighting it alongside Gaioh, though that's far less clear). This would make the greatest amount of sense in the context that he was not always a darkly-aspected death seeker - that is, he was once the heroic Masaki Andoh.
** ''Asakim also seems very familiar with a lot of the various series as a matter of course.'' This one is a bit less obviously "Masaki" and more just related to the Wanderer's Curse, but Asakim seems very familiar with how many of the stories of the various characters will go - likely because he's seen a great many of these played out previously. Masaki himself has appeared in a huge number of games shared with these shows.

Put all together, it becomes relatively easy to piece together a history of the man: somewhere in the Multiverse, a version of Masaki began the journey many of his [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars2 other]] [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha various]] [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration selves]] went on, going to La Gias, getting the Cybuster, clashing with Shu, making friends with awesome robot pilots, and whatnot. However, at some point, something went terribly ''wrong'' - he may well have fought at the side of "Gaioh" when the being we know as Gaioh was still a living man, but either way Masaki had to engage in significant dimensional travel or other dimensional events, and ended up with the Wanderer's Curse. Either during the initial event or afterwards, he also ended up making significant compromises on his usual morality, as the realities of a Wanderer's life and attempts to "fix" things go awry. Ultimately, he ends up seeking little more than death - having wandered for so long, and having seen "copies" of people he once considered friends fail again and again, he now wants only the release of mortality.

He is a former idealist who now wants only death and is denied it. He has been fighting this war for a very, very long time (both literally and meta-textually). He is Asakim Dowin, who was once Masaki Andoh. With what we know, it fits perfectly.
