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. Gundam Fighter George de Sand was no exception to this and adhered to a strict code of chivalry that governed his life. George was a master fencer, so the Gundam Rose’s main weapon was a chevalier beam saber. Far more effective were the Gundam Rose’s many rose bits, which were small mobile weapons controlled by George’s mind. The rose bits could be deployed from many directions to attack an opponent at multiple angles. The bits could 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 didn’t emerge 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 Guiana 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 them 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 Royal, and later participated in the final battle against the JDG-00X Devil Gundam.
