Outline

"BB Senshi" 20th anniversary commemorative work. A SD Gundam work with the motif of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The various mobile suits become "actors (演者)" to take on the roles of various characters of the Chinese literature, this further emphasize Sangokuden as "a performance of Romance of the Three Kingdoms by the SD Gundams". The usual name "頑駄無 (Gundam)" used in the "Sengokuden" series has been replaced with the katakana "ガンダム (Gundam)". The warring states world view closely resembles that of the "Sengokuden" series. Certain aspects of the "actors" taking on the roles resemble the mobile suits they were originally based on.

In "Mirisha", the stage of "Sangokuden", there exist 130 scrolls of historical text. In the current time they are called "G Chronicle (G記)". It reveals that "Mirisha" was the country "Abram" (from the "Sengokuden" series) in the past and the first emperor is "Hakuryuu Taitei" from Shin SD Sengokuden Densetsu no Daishougun Hen however this crossover was not explained in the main story. (Therefore, it could probably mean this is another "Abram" of a parallel world like that of Musharetsuden)[1]

The series was announced to be released in a number of territories, including Japan, Korea, America and Australia.[2] However, as of 2009 only releases in Asian regions have followed. A range of related merchandise has been produced including modelling tools, snack foods and orange juice.

Whilst the series is still ongoing, a new Sengokuden model kit series has been announced to begin in July 2009. The kits will be remolded from kits released for SD Gundam Force Emaki Musharetsuden, based on previous designs which have styled these Gundams after famous historical samurai. It is currently unknown if related fiction will be produced for these kits or if they will crossover into Sangokuden.

Story

It was the times of war in the continent of Mirisha, a time where the three kingdoms of Shou, Gou and Giga struggle for power and authority. Before the three countries become established, the rebellion of the Yellow Scarves has allowed Toutaku (Dong Zhuo) to seize control over the government, he killed Reitei (Han Ling Di) the emperor of that time and stole the "Gyokuji (玉璽)", then promoted himself to Prime Minister spreading tyranny through the land. But a year after, the anti-Toutaku (Dong Zhuo) spirits are on the rise because of the discovery of Reitei's (Han Lin Di's) assassination, Enshuu (Shou/Shu Kingdom) was quick on gathering troops and with Sousou (Cao Cao) on board the anti-Toutaku alliance is formed. Heroes from all over gather under the anti-Toutaku banner, including Ryuubi's (Liu Bei's) Yuushu Resistance. The anti-Toutaku allied forces fought against the Toutaku (Dong Zhuo) Troops at the Korou Fortress (Hu Lao Guan) which is just outside Rakuyou.

This chapter parallels the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle of Hulao Pass.

The anti-Toutaku (Dong Zhuo) alliance was disbanded after the defeat of Toutaku, the heroes each return to their homeland, expanding their territory and causing conflicts. With the death of Sonken Zephyranthes (Sun Jian), his son Sonsaku (Sun Ce) is aiming to stabilize the situation in Koto. Sousou (Cao Cao) has clashed with the Hero of Kahoku, Enshou (Yuan Shao). Ryuubi (Liu Bei) has travelled far from his homeland Yuushu to Keishuu to seek help from the famous strategist, Koumei (Kong Ming).

This chapter parallels the Battle of Guandu and the events eventually leading to the Battle of Red Cliffs.

The battle of Red Cliff ended with the victory of Ryuubi (Liu Bei) and Sonken (Sun Quan) army, the land is split into three kingdoms – Shou, Giga and Gou. But there is no news of the missing Sousou (Cao Cao) and Ryuubi (Liu Bei). On the empty throne of Shou is the Ryuuteiken and ascending the throne of Giga is son of Sousou (Cao Cao), Souhi (Cao Pi). Souhi leads Giga to a campaign to conquer the land westwards. On the barren lands of Seiryou stands one man, Bachou (Ma Chao), burning with flames of revenge. The Giga Troops are said to be dark zombies with burning red eyes and are impossible to kill. Later in the series, the god of war, Shuu, returns.

This chapter parallels the events after the formation of the Three Kingdoms themselves.

As time gradually progress towards the Red Cliff Battle, a whistling lone warrior wanders Mirisha. The warrior bearing the same name as the past ruler of So "Kouseki" encounters other warriors at various places, often engaging in clashes with them. And now after many struggles he finally arrive at his homeland Kishuu, the land soon to be the battlefield of the Red Cliffs and the land last known as "So"...

The story is set before the Battle of the Red Cliffs and parallels the Chu–Han contention.

BBW, to some extent, can be considered as the fourth part of Sangokuden, and is played out in anime and plamodel series. Storywise, it follows the past series but with the addition of more details like Sousou's attempt to assassinate Toutaku. With the anime as the main story, the plamodel series serves as a digest for the parts involving the character. Even though both series are on the same timeline, there are exceptions where the anime vary from the plamodel series. There are also characters original to the anime.

His covered right arm Supreme Iron Armor (覇鉄甲) holds a mysterious power, a power that is even hidden from himself. When open, it can be used for the Supreme Hand Blast (拳覇爆砕). He is armed with two swords, the Imprisoning Drill Blade (獄錐剣) longsword and the curved Terrifying Grace Sword (虞美神刀).
He seems to be from Kishuu, the stage of the Red Cliff battle.


Divine Instruments

Gyokuji (玉璽)

The proof of the king, also the key to the activation of the Tengyokugai.

Ankoku Gyokuji (暗黒玉璽)

A black Gyokuji mainly used by the Three Excellencies of Giga.
Ankoku Gyokuji Psycho Gundam lies in the giant Ankoku Gyokuji that Shiba-En is praying to.

Tengyokugai (天玉鎧)

  • Point: Has 4 forms – Souryuu (蒼龍, G-Armour), Enhou (炎鳳, G-Falcon), Douko (弩虎, Orchis) and Shinbu (真武, Epyon's Mobile Armor form)
The mysterious magical weapon that lay asleep in the Korou Fortress. The four forms correspond to the Four Symbols.
It is included in the model kit of Ryofu.
Souryuu form is for Ryuubi, (Liu Bei) Enhou for Sousou and Douko for Sonken and Shinbu is for Ryofu use.
In the main comic adaptation, the Tengyokugai first appears when Sonken summons it in grief over his father's death and goes on a devastating rampage across the battlefield. Ryuubi (Liu Bei) later summons its Souryuu form to defeat Toutaku. In the second storyline, Sousou is able to summon the Enhou formation twice and on the second occasion uses it to fight Ryuubi. When the two team up to save the planet the Tengyokugai reforms into a stripped down version of the Souryuu for Ryuubi (Liu Bei) uses, with the left over pieces (the bird head cowl, wings and twin guns) combining with Sousou in an alternate version of the Enhou configuration.

Ryuukihou (龍輝宝)

The legendary divine instrument sealed within the Ryuuteiken. The soul of the Ryuutei dwells in it, its power is above that of the Tengyokugai.
It can combine with Shouretsutei Ryuubi (Liu Bei) and can also can be equipped as separated parts by five of Ryuubi's generals. In both the manga and the Comic World version, they received this power up from the heavens during dire battles. In the manga version, Sousou remarked that the Ryuukihou appearing to aid the generals as the prove that Ryuubi (Liu Bei) is still alive.
It has the same name as the differently shaped divine instrument of Gundam Hakuryuu Taitei which was also equipped as parts by his comrades. The Ryuukihou that Ryuubi (Liu Bei) spoke to at first in his consciousness has a similar silhouette that of Hakuryuu Taitei's.

Kourinpaku (虎燐魄)

The manifestation of Kogyou's spirit that dwells in the Kouteiken in the form of a sacred beast.

Houshinkon (鳳熾魂)

The manifestation of Jakushun's spirit as a crest and shoulder armor.

Bukouheki (武煌壁)

The manifestation of Bukki's spirit in the form of a sacred beast.

Currently this song is being used for the ending theme of the anime SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors.


Manga

Kōichi Tokita drew the first chapter of the manga titled SD Gundam Sangokuden Fuuun Gouketsu Hen (SDガンダム三国伝　風雲豪傑編 SD Gundam Romance Of The Three Kingdoms: Gathering of the Heroes Chapter) which was serialized in volumes 7 to 12 of Comic Bom Bom in 2007. Kentarō Yano continues with the second chapter of the series titled SD Gundam Sangokuden Eiyuu Gekitotsu Hen (SDガンダム三国伝 英雄激突編 SD Gundam Romance Of The Three Kingdoms: Clash of the Heroes Chapter) which will serialize in Kerokero Ace from volume 2 of 2008 to volume 4 of 2009.[6]

After which, the third chapter SD Gundam Sangokuden Senjin Kettou Hen (SDガンダム三国伝 戦神決闘編 SD Gundam Romance Of The Three Kingdoms: Battle of the War Gods Chapter) with start from Kero Kero Ace volume 5 of 2009 and will be drawn by Naoto Tsushima. With the unknown fate of Ryuubi (Liu Bei) Gundam, the lead character of the third chapter is announced to be Bachou Blue Destiny.[7]

Anime

An anime adaptation for Sangokuden was announced on October 8, 2009 during the 49th All Japan Plamodel Hobby Show.[8] Kadokawa Pictures confirmed at a Tokyo press conference on December 9, 2009 that the anime adaptation would first arrive as a theatrical film. Chō Denei-ban SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors opened in Japan on February 27, 2010 in a double billing with the fifth Sgt. Frog (Keroro Gunsō) film, Chō Gekijō-ban Keroro Gunsō Tanjō! Kyūkyoku Keroro Kiseki no Jikūjima de Arimasu!! Sunrise produced both films.[9]

Besides the movie, a 51-episode TV animated series was produced starting April 3, 2010.[10] Each episode is estimated to air for 15 minutes.[11]

Games

A series of mobile phone games are made by Taiwan company, Joymaster in collaboration with Bandai-Namco:[12]

Besides the above games, Bandai-Namco has announced an upcoming game, SDガンダム三国伝 Brave Battle Warriors 真三璃紗大戦 (SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors Shin Mirisha Taisen), and it is slated to be released on 2 December 2010 for the Nintendo DS handheld.[13][14] It looks to be a hack 'n' slash type of game, where the player is able to form a 3-man group, and there's over 40 playable characters.[15][16] A special promotion of the game comes with a limited edition DX boxset of Shin Kouseki Turn-X (項羽ターンX) VS Ryuuhou Ryuubi Gundam (劉邦劉備ガンダム, whose character basis is Liu Bang), never before seen model kits of the two.[17]

A teaser site has been opened,[18] and basically reiterates the revealed information thus far. The main story plot in the game goes up to the Battle of the Red Cliffs, and besides characters from the 3 factions (Shou, Giga, Gou), players can also choose to play as the other characters like the Yellow Scarves, Toutaku, Enshou, Enjyutsu, and even the generic GM/Zaku Infantry troops.[19]

Some characters from the series were confirmed to appear in the upcoming PlayStation Portable game SD Gundam G Generation World.

Model Kits

The focal point of the series is a range of model kits, produced as part of Bandai's BB Senshi line. Although in official numbering these kits began with BB 300, Bandai was only up to BB 295 at time of release and so BB 296–299 were retroactively released. Since that time every subsequent BB Senshi release has been a Sangokuden release, with the exception of SD versions of Gundam Exia, 00 Gundam, 00 Raiser, Gundam Exia Repair II and 0 Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

The kits utilise a gimmick used by many past BB Senshi lines – armour changing. The majority of the kits are built on the same basic figure design, allowing them to swap at least headwear, shoulder armour and backpacks/capes. Some characters can also swap further elements such as chest and skirt armour. However, so far this has been limited to the initial three kits. The figures utilise ball joints, to allow poeseability and to swap out limbs due to the popular Japanese hobby of SD customisation. As further part of this, many of the characters have individualised pre-posed hands. Starting with Ryofu Tallgeese, the kits were also issued with 'neutral' hands to use as an alternative to the specifically posed ones. A related feature was most kits eventually being issued with optional secondary eye stickers to represent features such as Char Aznable-style sunglasses or a character's aiming ability. This eventually led to a full sheet of such optional stickers being given away as a promotional item.

A number of recolours have been released. In December 2007, Bandai released a three kit set of Ryuubi (Liu Bei), Chouhi and Kan-u cast in transparent plastic. This was followed in April 2008 with a similar set of Sousou and Shibai, December 2008 with Koumei (Kong Ming) and Choun and March 2009 with Sonken and Shuuyu (in contrast to the other re-releases, Shuuyu is metallic gold plated instead of transparent plastic). These multi-kit boxsets also come with large diorama cards featuring CGI-generated backdrops from the Sengokuden universe. Of special note is that Chou-Un is missing his Hieisen steed from his initial release.

A limited metallic 'special coating' Ryuubi (Liu Bei) was a hobby show exclusive. The first collected manga volume also had a prize draw, with 100 pieces of silver-plated Ryuubi Gundam kits as prizes. A metallic red recolour of Sazabi released in March 2009 was the first such kit to be included in the storyline, explained as a new colour schemed adopted by the character in the epilogue of the second chapter.

A recoloured two kit set of Koumei (Kong Ming) and Shuuyu was released as a tie into a Romance of the Three Kingdoms feature film adaptation Red Cliff. The kits use gold, brown and white colours to copy the costumes seen in the film. The diorama card included features screenshots from Red Cliff (specifically of Cao Cao's navy at different stages) rather than the usual backdrops.

Additional model kits and add on accessories have also been made available, often as contest prizes. These include:

A B-Club kit was also produced of the character Sonshoukou Gerbera. The model can be built in two possible poses, wielding either her bow or glaive. A BB Senshi version of the character was released in May 2009.

A new 'Sangokuden Sidestory' line will begin in late 2009, focussing on the children of the main cast. Controversially, the kits in this line will be remolds/recolours of much older existing kits, lacking the scale and art style of all previous Sangokuden kits. In partial response to this, the last two kits in the series were given two pairs of new leg parts- one pair for the included kit and the second to add to earlier kits in the line.

At the 'Gunpla Expo 2009', Bandai officially unveiled both HG 1/100 Scale versions of Kan-u Gundam and Chouhi Gundam. The release dates of the two were still unannounced.

Sangokuden Gaiden

A spin-off series, Sangokuden Gaiden (translated as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Side Story") has released these kits so far. There will be warriors from the 3 kingdoms, plus one, Kouseki Turn-X, of unknown allegiance.

Rumored Gundams

Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors

This series is based on the Sangokuden movie short, "Chō Denei-ban SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors", as well as the anime series SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors, and will feature the characters remodeled in the updated style. Some of the kits will include extra pieces, like the Shin Ryuuteiken (真・龍帝剣) for Ryuubi (Liu Bei). Although most of the kits are minor variants of the previous BB Senshi releases (generally in terms of colour), they do not have the usual BB Senshi numbering and are instead treated as a separate series. This same format was used for model kits released for the previous SD television series, SD Gundam Force. In addition to new characters and gimmicks, Bandai also introduced new engineering concepts to address key criticisms much as they did with the 'Sidestory' line. The shoulder armour pieces of Shin Ryuusou Ryuubi, Raisou Chouhi and Ougasou Kan-u are all designed to be removed as one construct, as opposed to splitting into multiple pieces. This concept addresses the problem of pieces breaking on occasion when attempting to remove them after construction.

In the list below, the new model kits are in bold:

Upcoming Gundams
Rumored Gundams
Special/Limited Edition

Sangokuden "Kiba" Breakers

A new sub-line was also announced, the motorised Kiba Break. Depicting popular characters such as Ryuubi and Ryofu on horseback, the kits are used in a jousting style game where players attempt to knock their opponent out. The kits come with limited figurines of their riders but can support the full model kits in their place. The line was promoted in the Brave Battle Warriors anime (in Episode 14), in the form of a new elite horse-mounted team led by Chou-un.

The following have been released so far:
