SRW Y Wishlist Part 4 (recent SRW inclusions)

Okay, so this last part is made up of a handful of series from more recent SRW games, mainly the VXT trilogy and 30. I won't be including anything directly connected to any entries on the previous list (no Prince of Darkness or Rebuild of Eva, for example), and I don't have Gundam Wing on here because it's kinda already rumored to be included. Anyway, onward to this last list of personal hopefuls:

Cross Ange (TV Series): It's rare for me to say that I find a show genuinely enjoyable while also saying I can't recommend it to anyone. The first few episodes of this series are excessive in their violence against the protagonist, much of that violence being sexual in nature. That having been said, the ideas and themes of the show being more focused on a sort of complicated "re-empowerment" story for the various women of Arzenal leads to a show that can stick with you. Also, we already have the Gundam Lesbians and Majestic Prince's enby powerhouse coming to town, let's add more queer characters to the roster baby!

Buddy Complex (TV Series): This one has only been in one mainline SRW game so far with X, and honestly it's time travel story gets a little overshadowed by the fantasy isekai stuff central to the plot of that game. I haven't seen the show, but this is a case where I'd like to see more of these characters and storylines anyway. It just seems fun.

Gun X Sword (TV Series): This one kinda works well in nearly any mix of story, as the Clawed Man is a great villain to pair with others and the show's episodic nature means you can pick and choose some of the stories you want to focus in while including them. It's a good series, but as much as I would love to see it again, I could understand leaving it out after two games in a row.

SSSS.Gridman (TV Series): Chances are honestly better at this point that we get Dynazenon instead for the new game, but either way honestly works out fine in my opinion. This show was an artistically striking successor to the original Gridman tokusatsu series, as well as its American adaptation(?) Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, with clear references to each version of the show but very much focused on telling its own story. Also, I can't stress enough, Akane has some strong queer subtext to her and we want more gay in SRW, dang it.

ULTRAMAN (TV Series): This one was first included as DLC for SRW 30, and only had a few elements from the show's first season. Now that the series is complete, it's a good time to give the whole thing a chance to shine. I suppose I should also add an honorable mention to a show I forgot to add to my previous parts, because it's Tekkaman Blade being in SRW J that got me to really be interested in power armor series inclusions among the giant robot stuff that SRW is more known for.

Sakura Taisen (TV series or Games): Again added as DLC only in SRW 30, this one is odd because each individual game in the franchise could be solo in an SRW game, but as of now, the DLC threw in characters from three stories at once with little narrative. It'd be nice to see what they can do with an actual focus on just one of the many game stories or the TV adaptation, especially because they could include other characters than just the lead pair.

Code Geass: Akito the Exiled (OVA): Surprise entry from Super Robot Wars DD this time, as this very solid Code Geass sidestory hasn't yet appeared in any mainline games as of now. Considering that Resurrection is included, I don't expect this to show up, as they'd have to blend the stories in an odd way to make it actually work with the timeline of events, but who knows? I like it and I'd be interested in seeing it included.

And that's it for my SRW Y Wishlist, basically. We only get these games every few years unless they are making a bunch with the same engine like VXT, so forgive the rather large list of desired inclusions because it'll possibly be another 3 to 4 years before I can dream about this exact thing again. God, I'll be in my 40s at that point. Anyway, my number one wishlist pick is Layzner, and thanks for reading these slightly silly posts.

Character Concept: Luxon & Bradyon

As a representation on a unique spin of the Sight Sharing concept that the Lati siblings have in Heroes - great movie btw - insert the blanket term “Valiancer” to describe a subset of the Lati race with a unique potential to evolve that ability into something more. Then focus on two latis in particular, one red and one blue.

The red one has been a veteran of combat for a long time, having gone into service among the front lines of a desperate war - even despite her Legendary status and heritage - in order to prove herself to her hardline father. She’s an expert in combat but only after stripping herself down to the bare essentials and literally putting everything into it at the cost of all else, believing that with the power involved with being a Valiancer she can protect her little sister... and get revenge on the enemy forces who raided her town and destroyed it, killing her mother in the process.

The blue one, however, is a victim of Dialga- and Celebi-related shenanigans - he never asked to go through the troubles time travel creates, but it was at the behest of a beautiful cresselia from the future who came to the past to bring him forward, stating ‘Bradyon is waiting.’ Despite being thrust directly into a protracted battle, the blue one was also recognized as having the potential to be a Valiancer, and as such the heat of the moment resulted in the Red and Blue latis activating this advanced version of Sight Sharing... the Coupling Effect.

By sending their thoughts at least one nanosecond into the future in order to prevent the time lag caused by the Effect’s time-to-exchange, and to offset the bulk of mental information, the pair were able to use the Effect to great effect - sprouting cool as fuck energy shrouds, moving as fast as Mega without going Mega, and allowing the blue one to obtain all the same combat experience as the red one. As time went on, the Effect developed until the red Bradyon (the latias) can use Luster Purge and the blue Luxon (the latios) can use Mist Ball, among other things.

Point being, it’s cool. Change my mind.
