Neo Portugal’s GF13-039NP Jester Gundam was literally piloted by a clown, but fighter Romario Monini was no average clown. He possessed the ability to perfectly copy the moves made by any opponent, no matter the complexity. The Jester Gundam itself was lightly built to be extremely agile. It was armed with two machine cannons in the chest, as well as standard head vulcans. Other armaments included beam strings and balloon bits. The four hoops around the Jester Gundam’s waist could be used to capture an opponent, and the Jester Gundam itself could also transform into a spinning top for its ultimate attack. Romario used his copying ability to take down George de Sand’s GF13-009NF Gundam Rose in the Finals, but he was ultimately defeated by Chibodee Crocket’s GF13-006NA Gundam Maxter. Romario later returned to cause trouble for Domon Kasshu, and he was eventually killed in the Battle Royal by DG cell-infected Marcelot Cronos’ GF13-002NGR Zeus Gundam.
