Video of this chapter
This game has four different epilogues that depend on your main character and the route you chose at the start of the game. There’s Raul/Ra Cailum (the canon one here), Raul/Nadesico, Fiona/Ra Cailum, and Fiona/Nadesico. I won’t have pictures for the other epilogues, just as a heads up. They all also have a scene that’s after the credits roll.
Starting off with the Raul/Ra Cailum route. This is the one that’s in the video and the only one with screenshots.
Owwwwww… Hey, are you both alright?
No, I’m not alright. I thought you were a pilot!
Calm down dude.
[Explosion]
Whoa!
The Engine stopped… It’s completely burnt out.
And the Frame is at its limit…
At least it didn’t explode.
By the way, where and when are we?
It should be right after our first time leap… Or at least it should have been…
Checking coordinates. This is definitely the area where Axis was falling.
I can’t see Axis so… I guess it didn’t happen.
Thank god. If we plopped back into a battlefield with the Excellence like this, it would have been the end of us.
…I’m sorry, Excellence…
It’s fine. I’m much more relieved now.
Let’s start over from scratch… I’ll send out a distress signal.
If we died out here after all that, it’d be one sad joke.
Don’t jinx it!
What the…
What is it?
That’s…
There they are. No doubt about it. It’s them.
Just as Banjo told us.
What a pain in the ass they are.
[Ra Cailum, Cabin]
It’s been four and a half years. Though for you guys, it must have been less than an hour.
Um… Captain…
Don’t worry. This is a secret between us former members of THE BOYS.
Even if we told anyone else, they wouldn’t believe us.
Officially, you were caught up in an accident and we rescued you.
We’re on a mission right now. You can just relax until it’s over.
A mission? Is it Neo Zeon!?
Exactly. We’re on our way to Axis…
Oh no…
…To attend the parade and inauguration of their first president.
Huh?
We haven’t fought Neo Zeon a single time since you were with us.
Do you wanna see it? This is Casval Rem Deikun, the first president of the Colonial Federation Nation of Neo Zeon.
After a long time, we’ve finally managed to join hands. The time has come for mutual reconciliation between Earth and her colonies.
(Casval Rem Deikun) (On TV)
That’s Captain Quattro…
It’s Casval Rem Deikun now.
We’re going to his parade. There, he’ll sign a peace declaration with the Earth Sphere president.
I believe that humanity has finally left its cradle, the Earth, and is at a stage where we can deepen our ties with other planets in outer space. To that end, we must not repeat our history of war.
Outer space… Does he mean Arctus?
Not just them. Campbell and Boazan too. That’s all thanks to Hyoma and Kenichi’s hard work. Altair and Subaru are also working hard in reconstructing Arctus.
Judau and Roux are with them too. They were excited about the big paycheck.
Ginga and Hokuto too?
Nope. They’re just normal high school students on Earth.
THE BOYS have been disbanded and everyone is living their own lives. We can’t force them to do anything.
All the crew members of the Freeden have left except for Jamil and Sala.
What are they doing?
They’re the ambassador and secretary. They’re now indispensable to the UESN.
I see… Everyone is walking their own path…
[Ra Cailum, Hallway]
Um, are you Mizuho?
Yes… Wait, Chan?
Have we met before?
N-never mind. Is there something I can help you with?
I have a message from you from the Anaheim execs. Here’s a letter of introduction from Chief Mechanic Kid Salsamille. They want you to join the project team developing the next generation Gundam.
Me…working on the next generation Gundam!?
That’s right. By the way, I’m going to be the project leader.
Wow, that’s amazing. You won’t get higher praise as an engineer.
R-right…
[City Center, Open Air Cafe]
…What’s with that gloomy look on your face?
It’s nothing…
If you don’t like it, you can just stop her.
I can’t do that. Anaheim treats their employees so much better than we ever could.
You’re not being honest with yourself…
C’mon man. If you have time to tease me, you should have the time to find a new engineer.
We’re about to have an appointment with them… There she is.
Um…
Mizuho…
Well that’s my job done. You can lead the negotiations.
Hey! You said you were going to… And he’s gone…
Um, about the next Excellence project…
…What about the next generation Gundam?
I turned them down.
You turned them down!?
If you think about it, my technology is already outdated for this era.
It’s true. It seems like everything’s more advanced than before.
That’s why I want to relearn this era’s technology. Also…
Also?
Have you forgotten? What I want to make is a rescue machine. A Gundam is certainly great and all, but… It’s not for saving people. Also the pilot has to be…
…Mizuho…
Yes.
Will you make a machine for me to pilot one more time?
Will you pilot the machine I’ll make?
Yes.
Then it’s settled. Looking forward to working with you again, Raul.
[Credits]
[Colony]
[Alert]
Block 18 exploded! The fire control system isn’t working!
Leave the internals to us. You do everything you can to prevent the fire from spreading!
R-roger.
There are five life signs inside. Judging by their size, they’re human.
They couldn’t escape in time. Prepare the Neo Excellence!
We’ll use the heat-resistant Striker.
If it comes to it, we may have to remove the entire Block. Get ready.
Already working on it. Please finish the job before I have to press the button.
Got it!
(A year has passed since then… The Excellence has been reborn as a multi-purpose disaster relief machine. It can act anywhere from space, underwater, midair, and even underground. Right now we’re acting as test subjects, but if approved, the Excellence will be mass produced for disaster relief on Earth and in space…)
Ready to deploy.
Neo Excellence Heat-Resistant Striker, standby OK… GO!
This next one is Raul/Nadesico.
[The Excellence appears on the surface of Mars, near the polar ice caps]
Owwwwww… Hey, are you both alright?
No, I’m not alright. I thought you were a pilot!
Calm down dude.
[Explosion]
Whoa!
It’s reached its limit! It’s going to explode. We need to get out of here now!
Purging the Frame.
It’s the Engine that’s exploding. Purging the Frame won’t do anything!
Hurry!
Wait. The data disk is…between the seats…
You won’t make it. Just give up on it!
[The Excellence is destroyed]
Are you both still alive?
Somehow…
But the Excellence… AH!
What’s wrong?
The boxed lunch Garrison gave me blew up with the Excellence…
Sorry, but it’s beyond saving now. Give up on it.
By the way, where and when are we?
It should be right when we first time travelled… So modern day Mars I’d assume.
Aren’t those the Martian Ruins?
We seem to have shifted locations a bit.
…I don’t see any Martian Successors…
I expected that much… Thankfully we’re not in any danger.
With the Excellence as it was, we would have been goners if this was a battlefield.
…I’m sorry.
It’s fine. I’m much more relieved now.
The data disks… They’re all gone…
It’s fine. It’s all still in your head.
Yeah… I guess…
Guess we’ll have to start over from scratch. Let’s camp out in those ruins for now.
We have to walk?
Not like we’ve got another choice. Let’s go.
Huh?
What’s up?
That’s…
[The Nadesico C spawns]
There they are. Hey, are those the guys you mentioned? I don’t recognize them.
Yes. There’s three of them. It has to be them.
It’s just as Banjo said.
Shall I go pick them up?
Captain Takasugi, you better be polite with them. They’re the heroes of the Duminas incident.
Likewise, you need to be more polite to your Captain.
[Nadesico C, Cabin]
Who would have ever thought Saburouta would become the Captain of the Nadesico.
Yurika quit THE BOYS right after you vanished. Akito, Megumi, and I quit too.
Without a Captain, this ship was mothballed for a while. But since I became a Captain last year, I brought it out of retirement.
So what happened after you all quit?
Akito used his severance money to open a restaurant. We’re all working there.
It’ll probably start franchising next year.
Yes. Everyone will be invited to the grand opening.
A lot of things happened to the Jovian Federation too. Well, now it’s all just a memory.
Captain, be serious. We still have to go to Planet Campbell next month.
You’re going to Planet Campbell?
Yes. Three years ago, an emissary came from Campbell claiming they wanted to make peace with Earth.
Just when I thought the Boazan situation was finished, this happened. I should have joined Major Tsukiomi with helping the Boazans rebuild their planet.
It’ll be easier on Campbell since there won’t be any fighting.
Have you seen Katherine and Janera? I’ve only seen pictures, but when you compare the two, Boazan women are far prettier.
The Campbellians would get upset if you judged them based on only Janera.
You’re right.
Garrison?
Master Banjo and the Zambot Team are also heading to Campbell, so I came here to discuss details.
Them too?
The King Beal, which was originally an immigration ship, is more suitable for long distance space travel.
The Nadesico C will be its escort.
I feel like so much has changed.
Not at all. Humans don’t change that easily.
By the way, whatever happened to the Computation Unit?
It’s still on Arctus.
Master Subaru and the others have said they’re willing to return it, but there’s still no consensus on Earth on what to do with it…
So nothing’s really changed at all.
[Nadesico C, Deck]
So what now?
The Argent Fighter is totaled too. Not to mention the Time Flow Engine.
There you are. Hey, We’ve got some good news for you.
Good news?
Yes. Nergal said they’d like to support further research on the Time Flow Engine.
Nergal said that?
Yes. You’re invited to resume research at one of our facilities.
That’s great, isn’t it? With Nergal as our sponsor, we won’t have any funding issues.
That’s right.
Don’t misunderstand. The only one being scouted here is Raji.
Just me… What about Mizuho?
Back then it might have been different, but the Excellence’s technology is far outdated now.
Outdated…
Indeed. But the Time Flow Engine is different. It’s a unique technology that’s very valuable.
…
[Martian City, Park]
…
…Cheer up.
Outdated, huh… He’s right. Because of the time leap, the Excellence has become outdated tech…
Technological advancement seems to have accelerated…
…The latest prototype will only be outdated by the time it’s finished… Idiot… Uuu… I guess… *hic*
H-hey… Don’t cry…
But…
…Let’s start over. You can overcome this hurdle in no time.
…I wonder if… I can…
I know you can. You’re a genius. The rest of the world won’t know what hit them.
…Uuuu… Uuuuu…
It’s going to be okay. I’m with you…
…
I’ll always be with you… Always…
Raul…
…
Why don’t you reveal yourself?
Now’s not the time. It can wait.
By the way, are you okay with your decision?
You mean turning down Nergal’s offer? Of course. I need to consider how to use the Time Flow Engine.
What about the plan proposed by Master Banjo?
It’s certainly appealing. Besides, it seems I owe Banjo a great debt. But to follow through with that plan, the Excellence is necessary.
You mean those two, yes?
Well, of course…
Mizuho… I want you…
Raul…
[Credits]
[Repair Shop]
We’ve finished repairing the mobile suit you requested.
That’s for tomorrow. Good job. Duo is bringing some scrapped Aestivalis parts this afternoon.
Perfect. We were running short on parts.
Have you gotten used to modern technology?
Yes. It was hard at first because so much has changed so quickly.
It’s ironic. Because we jumped into the past, technology was advanced so much that our own tech was made obsolete.
But it’s fun to learn about new tech. It’s not that different.
(A year has passed since then. Mizuho and I bought a small factory in town and started a repair shop. It’s not like we didn’t get any jobs, but Mizuho seemed to be bothered by the gap in technology. But she’s doing a lot better now. After all, she is the genius that created the Excellence. Once she learned the basics, it didn’t take long for her to catch up. Thanks to her, our repair shop has become very well known.)
Well, shall we start designing the new Excellence soon?
…I wonder if we should…
Hey, it’s too early to give up on your dreams.
I’m not complaining… I have you…
What about my dream? The dream of piloting the new Excellence that you make…
I wonder…
…
…Mmm…
Excuse me for interrupting your flirting.
Waaaah! At least knock before you open the door!
Fix the intercom first. I thought you were a repair shop.
Ah. I’ll make some tea.
Seriously… While other people are running around with proposals, you two are living the sweet life.
Don’t say that. So what brings you here today?
We’ve finally got a good idea how to proceed, so we’re gathering staff. Here.
This is… The Earth Sphere Emergency Task Force…
Simply put, we’re a rescue team that doesn’t belong to any organization. As you’d expect, our main machine uses a multi-purpose Frame equipped with a Time Flow Engine…
The Excellence…
That’s right. Will you join us?
…Both of us?
It’s too early for you two to retire.
The Excellence… Reborn as a rescue machine…
Yes. Please, we need you.
(...We’ve already decided.)
This next one is Fiona/Ra Cailum.
[The Excellence and Duminas spawns in space]
Where… What era is this?
Duminas!
How!?
It got caught up in the time warp! Finish it off, quickly!
There’s no place for you here… Farewell, Duminas!
[Fiona attacks Duminas]
Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!
[Duminas moves next to the Excellence]
GIVE ME THAT POWER!
Frame purge!
[The Argent Fighter appears next to the Eternal Frame. Fiona moves away. The Frame is destroyed.]
GWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
[Duminas explodes]
…It’s finally over…
…
Stay awake, Raji! I’ll take you to a hospital right away!
Hurry up. Our battleship is waiting nearby.
W-who’s that?
I recognize that voice!
[A Zeon battleship appears]
It’s been a while. Or maybe that’s just from out point of view.
(Casval Rem Deikun)
Captain Quattro!
Or is it Char Aznable?
Neither.
You assholes, don’t be rude to the President!
It’s fine, Gyunei. Instead, hurry up and rescue them.
S-sir.
What do you mean by President?
Who cares. Raji, we’re saved!
…
Raji…
…
RAJI!
…
[Axis, A Room]
Thank you for saving us, but why are you here?
Thank Banjo for giving us this.
That’s…
The Time Flow Sonar!!
It’s the only thing you left behind. Thanks to it, I was able to come and pick you up.
…That idiot.
Even so, I never thought that you’d become President, Captain Quattro.
Now it’s Casval Rem Deikun, the first President of the Colonial Federation Nation of Neo Zeon. Of course I was elected properly.
What happened to the UESN?
It’s still there. After the battle, I helped out the refugees with Vice Minister Darlian. In doing so, I stepped into the world of politics, upholding my father Zeon’s last requests, and promoting friendship with other star systems.
So we’re not at war?
That’s right. There’s a celebration parade tomorrow to commemorate my inauguration and the peace settlement. If you’d like, you’re welcome to come watch. You’ll have all the time you need to decide what you want to do next.
A parade?
Yes. Bright and his team should be there too.
Captain Bright will be there?
They’re bodyguards for the Earth President and Vice Minister Relena.
I hope nothing will happen there.
There’s nothing to worry about. Our garrison will be keeping a close eye on everything.
Plus, she has her knight with her?
Knight?
That winged Gundam that appears out of nowhere and saves her whenever she’s in danger.
That has to be…
Well, there’s a lot going on.
President, Vice Minister Lancerow will be arriving soon.
Understood. Sorry, but I’m very busy these days.
It’s fine. So Lancerow is here?
Yeah. His counterparts for Earth are Jamil and Sala. They’re quite good at negotiating.
So everyone is walking their own path, huh?
Yes, though some have disappeared like the Shuffle Alliance.
Wouldn’t they just show up out of the blue when needed?
I bet they would. Anyway, what will you guys do now?
…What should we do…
Why don’t you come work for me?
[Hospital, Sickroom]
…
You’ll be discharged in about a month.
…What a colossal waste of time.
I think it’s good considering all you went through. Here, a peeled apple.
…I’m fine.
Why are you acting all high and mighty? You can’t even use the toilet by yourself yet.
…
…Heh…
What’s so funny?
Mizuho told me that before you did your suicide attack on Duminas, you asked her to deliver me a message.
Mmm…
What was it?
…That’s…
Does it have something to do with the letters I, L, and Y?
…I-it’s nothing. You can ask her yourself.
She won’t tell me because you’re still alive.
It’s nothing.
That’s not very manly of you. Tell me.
I don’t have to be manly.
If you’re gonna be like that, then I won’t give you this present.
…What present?
It’s the response to the proposal you submitted to the Ministry of Science.
Did it pass? Was I rejected!?
Dunno. I haven’t opened it yet.
Give it to me!
No dice. What were you going to say to me?
That’s dirty.
Confess already!
…Mmmm…
Hehehe…
[Credits]
[Space Station]
It’s about to depart.
Yes. I hope it goes well.
It’ll be fine. The engine and ship are perfectly designed.
(A year has passed since then… The Time Flow Engine is now being used to power regular shuttles to other planets in outer space. In addition to the warp navigation brought from Planet Boazan, the Time Flow Engine was finally recognized and adopted as a backup power source since it doesn’t need any fuel. From now on, Earth’s mission will be to coexist with other humans in outer space. The Time Flow Engine, a unique perpetual motion machine, will be the force that supports this.)
Daedalus, ready to launch.
…
Raji, you look happy.
Of course. Our Engine may solve energy problems throughout the entire universe.
Fiona, you’ve been grinning for a while now, haven’t you?
Really?
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!
Go! To outer space! Use that infinite power within your body!
Fly! Turn the flow of time into your power!
And finally, Fiona/Nadesico.
[The Excellence and Duminas spawn on Mars]
Where… What era is this?
Duminas!
How!?
It got caught up in the time warp! Finish it off, quickly!
There’s no place for you here… Farewell, Duminas!
[Fiona attacks Duminas]
Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!
[Duminas moves next to the Excellence]
GIVE ME THAT POWER!
Frame purge!
[The Argent Fighter appears next to the Eternal Frame. Fiona moves away. The Frame is destroyed.]
GWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
[Duminas explodes]
…It’s finally over…
…
I promise I’ll take you to a hospital right away!
…
Raji…
…
RAJI!
…
…No…
Fiona!
[Nadesico C spawns]
There they are. Hey, are those the guys you mentioned? I don’t recognize them.
Yes, it’s those three. It has to be them.
It’s just as Banjo said.
Shall I go pick them up?
Hurry it up already. I think one of them is seriously injured. We don’t have time to waste.
Yes yes… Though I think you need to watch your tone with your Captain.
…Then act more like a Captain.
I think it’d be better if we rescued them first.
Why is the Nadesico C here?
I don’t care! We need help now!
[Akito’s Ramen Shop]
One Tenkawa Special Ramen, ready to go!
Two Mars Bowls and one Tenkawa Fried Noodle… The noodles are soft today.
Two Boson Fried Rice coming right up.
I’m back!
Where’s the next delivery?
We’re super busy.
Why are we doing this again?
We have a dream to open up a franchise for this restaurant near Subaru on Arctus.
Oh right. We have to work harder to achieve that.
[Hospital, Lobby]
I see. You’re five months pregnant.
Yes. We’re not finding out the gender until they’re born. It’s very exciting.
Everyone is moving on with their lives, huh?
That’s right. Koji is trying to make a UFO made entirely out of materials from Earth. He’s recently completed a prototype.
A UFO?
Yes, but no matter how many times he tries, it somehow turns out different from the blueprint. Very strange. Gai (Getter Gai, not Nadesico Gai) recently became the Earth Sphere Food Fighter Champion.
You’re looking well.
Yurika, it’s been a while.
Oh? I thought you went to Boazan with the Voltes team.
The situation over there has settled down, so I came back early.
Did Tsukiomi and the others come back with you?
No. Major Tsukiomi will be staying on Boazan for a while.
…You’re all amazing. We have to work hard too.
By the way, where’s Fiona?
[Hospital, Sickroom]
…
You’ll be discharged in about a month.
…What a colossal waste of time.
I think it’s good considering all you went through. Here, a peeled apple.
…I’m fine.
Why are you acting all high and mighty? You can’t even use the toilet by yourself yet.
…
…Heh…
What’s so funny?
Mizuho told me that before you did your suicide attack on Duminas, you asked her to deliver me a message.

[Neo City, Power Plant Proposed Construction Site]
(Neo City is in Side 3, one of the colonies near the Moon)
So this is where the Time Flow Power Plant will be?
Yes. Construction begins next week.
What a year it’s been, eh?
Well, this is a new city full of experimental technology. Maybe that’s why you can really feel the future.
(...A year has passed since then and we’ve been invited to join a certain project. It’s a construction plan for an experimental city incorporating various systems still under research. Time Flow energy has been adopted as the energy source to power this city. Incidentally, it’s also been decided that the Excellence will be used for security and search-and-rescue for this city.)
There will be four cities built over the next 10 years. Three of them will use Time Flow energy. Depending on the results, we may be able to build a colony that runs off of our energy.
There’s no chance the power plant will go berserk and send the city or colony into a different time, is there?
…That’s a bad joke. We’re working on a solution to that.
Please do.
…Construction has already started over there.
Seems so. Building an entire city is quite an extravagant plan, don’t you think?
Not really. Something as big as a city-wide management system would be too difficult to incorporate into an existing city.
Exactly. It’s faster and cheaper to just build a new city that has those systems from the beginning.
So that the Neo City Construction Plan.
If this works out, won’t more places start using Time Flow energy?
…That’s if it works out. It’s not enough to just succeed. We have to consider cost-efficiency.
What do you mean?
No matter how safe and environmentally friendly something is, if it costs too much, it won’t be implemented.
I see. If only the wealthy can use it, it won’t solve any energy problems.
Exactly. We still have a lot of work to do.
But aren’t you feeling lonely, Fiona? You’re not working at the moment.
I don’t mind. You can start working if you want to.
We’re still looking for Neo Excellence pilots for the rescue team.
Unfortunately, I have to pass. Even a full time housewife has a lot to do. For example…
For example?
How do I get my picky eater of a husband to eat celery?
…You don’t have to do that!
(Yes, Raji and I got married when he got released from the hospital. They’re right, it’s a bit lonely not being a pilot… But I’m happy…)
Thank you for reading this LP of Super Robot Wars R. I’m looking forward to the next one and I hope you are too.
Here are some fun facts about this project:
- Counting different versions of characters across time and space, there are 225 mugshots used in this game. That’s compared to 174 in the next game, SRW D.
- Out of those, a total of 47 different mugshots (some belonging to the same character) did not survive until the end credits. That doesn’t count those who no longer die from a corrected future. None of those are playable characters and I counted all the characters you can save (Ple, Ple Two, Lancerow, Master Asia) as still alive.
- The series with the most mugshots is Dendoh at 36, though if you combine Nadesico and Prince of Darkness, they have a total of 39. There might be a dupe or two though.
- The series with the least amount is Mazinger Z at 3. Zeta Gundam is a close second at 5.
- Including the introduction post and the survey related post, there are a total of 54 google docs created for this project.
- All together, the LP is a combined 786 pages long in OpenOffice and 829 in Google Docs. This crashes Google Docs.
- There are a total of 19,280 images between mugshots and screenshots.
- There are 2,096 screenshots, which means there’s a total of 17,184 lines of dialog.
- The character with the most lines of dialog is Raji with 774. That’s closely followed by Mizuho (699), Raul (678), and Fiona (665). Raul and Fiona’s lines might be different depending on which route you take.
- The series main character with the least number of lines is Heero with 47. The most is Ginga with 358.
- My totally legit GBA puts my total playtime at 55 hours, 06 minutes, and 02 seconds. Of course that doesn’t count my initial casual run on my actually legit GBA.
You can find a full archive of this LP here. Feel free to share it around.
Special thanks again to Akurasu, the Akurasu Discord server, Dramata, her Discord server, and to everyone reading this.
Please look forward to my next LP coming soon.
