I'm slowly updating this page until more anime fans jump in. So enough about standards... the wiki just started.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssullivan ( talk • contribs) 21:12, March 18, 2006
Hey, just wanted to know if I can add some more information to the page, like stuff on "Insania Infection" and the "Rabid Syndrome" which is explained later on the series? I'm just not sure whether or not that might spoil too much? Any information will include the identities of the first and second carriers, and might allude to the ending as well. \(^o^)/ 09:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I've watched over the series a couple of times and I still don't know what Luna's vehicle is called. Was it ever mentioned in the show? Since Shadow's fighter is "Geneshadow" should I assume that Luna's is "Geneluna" or something? Does anyone have any idea at all? \(^o^)/ 17:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
No you dunce, (no offense, but I'm surprised you didn't pay much attention to the robot names that much) Luna's unit is called "Lunasister" hence "Genesister" again, I'm surprised you didn't take notice sooner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.48.33 ( talk) 18:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
I've literally just finished watching this series, and while reading it's wiki article, I noticed a slight factual error. The article states that the
Neo-Okusaer was originally piloted by Milla. This is not correct. The original Okusaer was the Go-Okusaer, and that was piloted by Milla. The Neo
model was built after Milla's 'death' and the near total destruction of the Go-Okusaer. The remains of the Go-model were removed from storage and
repaired after Milla returns. From the time Milla regains her memories to the end of the series, she pilots the Neo model, while Anna pilots the
Go-model.
From what I understand, while the Go-model is something like a prototype of the Neo, the Go is still significantly more powerful. And that's the main
problem with it. It has power-balancing issues that the Neo doesn't; the Go-model's plasma drives are more powerful, but much more difficult to manage
than the Neo's drives. Anna is ordered to restrict the Go-model's power-output below 'level 6', otherwise she could lose control and blow the whole
machine to bits. She actually spends at least one, maybe two, episodes training to control the Go-model's plasma drives; something she doesn't
completely manage until the end of episode 25. This difference in power is the reason that the flames of the Godannar are different colors; red for
Neo-Okusaer and blue for Go-Okusaer.

- Okay, that's interesting...but wasn't Milla's "Okusaer" (shown in the first episode disengaging from Go's Dannar) the same color as Anna's Neo-Okusaer in that same episode? 'Cos I swear that Okusaer and Anna's both look exactly the same...unless they initiated a color change for Go-Okusaer later in the series so as not to confuse between the two? But then why was the Neo-Okusaer sealed under the graveyard?
From the second box above, if the Go-model is a prototype of the Neo, then wouldn't that mean the Neo-model came first (i.e. Milla piloted the Neo 5 years ago and went back to piloting it when her memories returned)? I do remember something said between Shizuru and the professor about the Go-model being an improvement over the Neo-model... \(^o^)/ 17:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

To the first box, that is not true, Milla never use Go-Okusaer in battle. She tried to get to work, but from comments from Kiriko Aoi and Shizuru during development stages Milla could never control Go-Okusaer at full power. Therefore the Neo-Okusaer was built as a step down to power compare to the Go-Okusaer so Milla can use it in battle. The Go-Okusaer was rebuilt to replace Core Gunner after it was destory on espiodes 11.
To Uldhiaa There was only one Neo-Okusaer, that was built after it was shown that Go-Okusaer could not be use in combat, first Milla used it until her "death" it seal up I guess out respect for the death of Milla. Then Anna use it from espiodes 1 to 10. Then back to Milla after she return with her full memories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Demecowen ( talk Demecowen ( talk) 01:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC) contribs) 01:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Image:Godannar cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm not sure how it happened, but everyone missed the pun-fairy's visit here...
That the title of the show, 「神魂合体ゴーダンナー!!」, literally means "God Soul Combination Godannar!!" I can't particularly deny. However, there's at least two obvious puns here. 「神魂」 is being read 「しんこん」, which can also be written 「新婚」; "Newly-wed." The first episode opens at Gou's wedding, and the "troubled-newlyweds" theme is pervasive throughout. Another writing of it is 「心魂」, which is sort of a "(my) everything" connotation of "heart." 「合体」 plays on this nicely by having a lot of different senses, all involving the concept of "coming together." You hear it a lot with super robot animation; it's the universal code word to inform the audience that the Dinosaur Empire is going to lose to the Getter Team again, and the Space Terrible Monster Crowd is about to have its day utterly wrecked courtesy of Gunbuster. But it also refers to combinations of forces (armies, chefs, baseball players). And sex. Gee, what could 「新婚合体」 possibly be referring to? :P Considering how the series plays itself out, the robots themselves could even be argued as a sort of euphemism or metaphor for sex.
Gou's blue machine, uncombined, is called Dannar (pronounced 「だんな」, a pun on the reading of 「旦那」, a colloquialism for one's husband). The mecha first encountered by Anna in the first episode is known as "Neo-Okusauer" (pronounced 「ネオ・おくさわ」, a play on the reading of 「奥様」 (read 「おくさま」, it's a polite way to refer to the wife of another), which sounds rather similar in normal speech). When they combine, they form the super robot, 「ゴーダンナー」. That name is a play on the 「御」 used to mark an honourific (「御旦那」 isn't something I have ever heard, but it would be taken to mean something to the effect of "My honourable master (of the household)" when speaking to someone of the out-group register), and in the passion of their combination, Godannar turns red. Yowza.
As might be gathered, "Go Okusauer" would be a play on 「御奥様」; "(your/you the) honourable wife." But this one's a little trickier than that. Anna is the second wife of Gou, and Neo-Okusauer is the second of its kind. The second wife pilots the second machine (and for a long time appears to be losing out the memory of Gou's late wife: Gou didn't want Anna involved with piloting and its dangers). But when Millia is "revived" it's made very clear that she was the original pilot of it. The Go Okusauer (the original prototype that was too powerful, prompting the "Neo" version), is the first and more powerful, so thematically speaking, it would represent the one "closer to Gou's heart;" the more powerful bond; his number one; his bed; his mate. That Millia has taken the backseat to Anna in Gou's life is important to the resolution, after all.
Super robot animations frequently draw these sorts of parallels, enough that it's been deconstructed in G Gundam ("We warriors can only communicate through our fists!") and parodied in the recent Tengen Toppa Guren Lagan (Drills are heavily played as a phallic object in the beginning, and a number of gags are made over "combining"). So even though Millia takes Anna's place in the Neo-Okusauer, Anna has the last laugh as she has taken the real prize and first place in Gou's life/bed/mecha.
"Twin Drive" isn't part of the name of the machine at any point. Rationale? Well, Volspina doesn't have "Slave On" as part of its name, right? It's super robot animaton: shouting is cool, especially when you've just combined. :)

PS: This show was an amusing weekend-spent. Wasn't too fond of the bustiness of all the girls, but it might be called more tribute to the other Gou.
Goddiner look like "Bolt Gundam" from "gundam G"
in the Episode 6 you can see "Lieutenant Amagi" from "gundam seed".

The gigantic list of every robot, attack, and enemy in this series is cruft in the extreme, and has no place on Wikipedia. Please read through WP:NOT, particularly sections WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. While the exact specific scenario found in this article isn't mentioned on that policy page, it is not possible to list every single conceivable scenario on a policy page. It is clear, however, that the gargantuan lists (over 12 kilobytes of text) found in this article lack encyclopedic value and fall within the spirit of the material listed as not acceptable on the WP:NOT policy page. In addition to being excessive information wholly unimportant to the average reader, the material is entirely unsourced. Some guy ( talk) 21:21, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
