Technical
and Historical Notes
|
As Neo France's
entry for the 13th Gundam Fight, the GF13-009NF Gundam Rose
was a throwback to old days of chivalry and honor in the Middle
Ages. Gundam Fighter George de Sand was no exception to this
and adhered to a strict code of chivalry that governed his life.
Unlike the selection of other Gundam Fighters, George's appointment
as Neo France's Fighter was the result of a tragedy. In a tournament
to select their nation's fighter, newcomer George fought against
Jean-Pierre Mirabeau and his Mirage
Gundam at Versailles. Determined to become Neo France's
Gundam Fighter, Mirabeau placed the audience in danger and used
them as a shield to prevent George from attacking. Disgusted
by this act, the King disqualified Mirabeau and selected George
as the Fighter. Mirabeau attempts to kill the King, and the
missiles he fires kill many bystanders, forever marring the
day as the Tragedy of Versailles. This event would haunt George
until a later encounter with Mirabeau, who escaped from prison
in space.
George was
a master fencer, and it is no surprise that the Gundam Rose's
main weapon is a chevalier beam saber (though it is also armed
with standard vulcan guns). Far more effective were the Gundam
Rose's many rose bits, which are mobile weapons controlled by
George's concentration. The rose bits can be deployed from many
directions to attack an opponent at multiple angles. The bits
can work together to form George's final move, the powerful
Roses Screamer. In an encounter with Domon's GF13-017NJ
Shining Gundam, a decisive winner was not decided due to
George stopping the battle to save the Eiffel Tower from destruction.
As a member of the Shuffle Alliance, George also trained in
the Guyana Highlands and developed a Hyper Mode and a new final
move, the Roses Hurricane. This new move caused the rose bits
to spin around rapidly and create a cyclone of energy that trapped
the opponent and rendered him helpless. However, using a new
move of his own, Domon was able to counter the Roses Hurricane.
The Gundam Rose entered the Finals and the Battle Royale and
participated in the final battle against the JDG-00X
Devil Gundam.
