A samurai-styled Gunman fielded by Team Dai-Gurren and piloted by Makken, Mo-Shogun swings a great katana and stands among the squad's frontline machines. Rebuilt with Spiral weaponry, it later meets its end in a sacrificial charge against the Anti-Spiral fleet.
Mo-Shogun is styled after a classical Japanese samurai, its frame echoing the armor and bearing of an ancient warrior. The machine belongs to the core Gunman lineup that Team Dai-Gurren fields, and Makken sits in its cockpit. A large blade defines both its silhouette and its fighting style.
The Gunman's primary armament is an oversized katana, and it can also bring the Kamina Sword into a fight. A heavier configuration known as the Space Mo-Shogun wears thicker plating and trades the single blade for a matched pair of katana, better suited to combat beyond the atmosphere. When Makken and Leite restored the machine, they equipped it with weaponry powered by Spiral energy.
Makken serves as the pilot throughout the machine's service. After the human military switched over to Grapearls, the older Gunmen were assumed lost, yet Makken and Leite had quietly recovered several and kept them running. When the Mugann first threatened the group, Makken was the first to answer in his freshly rebuilt unit. His final act came when he drove the Gunman straight into an Anti-Spiral missile, sacrificing himself to shield the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
