Outline
The series name is changed to "Chou SD Sengokuden". The characters for this chapter are derived from mobile weapons of New Mobile Report Gundam W. As this chapter is the continuation 15 years after the previous work, characters from the previous work make appearances. For the BB Senshi line, new specially processed parts are used to portray Kirahagane. Transparent plastic with a thin layer of foil, the details and pattern appear in full colour. This technique was first used in the wings of Chou Kidou Daishougun.
Story
The story starts with an amnestic Tenrei Gundam waking up. As he walk, trying to recall his past he was attacked by the Hyakki Yakou Shuu who claim that he is a Gundam. With that he confirmed a part of his identity. Later he fainted during a fight against Mazaku and was brought to Retteijou. There he became part of the Gundam Army and fought against the Hyakki Yakou Shuu. During one of the battles it was found out the Blaster is V-ou Daoshougun's brother. But when the Gundam Army was about to save Blaster, Jyarei interfered and the two fused to become a new single entity, Gundam Yami Gensui. The strong attacks of Yami Gensui put the Gundam Army at a tight spot. With Tallgeese's active participation V no suke is released but that resulted in Yami Gensui becoming the more powerful Shin Yami Gensui. At that time, the consciousness of Godmaru in Tenrei's memory is awakened and they evolved into Kishin Daishougun Shiryuuou. Shiryuuou, drawing strength from the guardian beasts of the three countries, defeated Shin Yami Gensui. Having completed his mission Godmaru, now Neo Godmaru, returns to the Heavens.
