The South Pole conference is revealed for the sham it was when Shu shows his true colors and rushes in an all new war! In his hyped and seemingly unbeatable mecha, he decimates the Earth Forces. But they’re not the only ones fighting the good fight. The ATX Team makes their appearance and they could teach Ryu a thing or two. If he survives Shu’s attack first. Aya is done, his comrades fallen, maybe even dead! Ryu is a goner nearly. Then it’s Shu versus Misaki, just what is their history? Because it’s clear they have one and things always get super nasty when it’s personal and your fighting in super mechas!
Volume 3 is when Divine Wars gets super serious and battle intense! It’s the most action packed volume so far, jammed with full throttle mecha battles! The action is almost non-stop for the whole first episode! And the drama! It’s mecha space opera to the nines baby! DC (the Divine Crusaders) is on the rise. The earth better watch out because their leader, Zoldark, plans to go up against everyone in his way and he has the fire power to do it! Problem with them is that sure their strong enough maybe to deal with any alien assault, but holy ET, these guys are made up of all sorts of different – and some seriously nasty – factions. And they each have their own agendas. Dangerous stuff and the Earth’s defense is on the line! DC is the EOTI organization anew and worse than ever with nefarious folk in it. And Zoldark is ready to pave his way to the top by crushing the Earth Federation forces! Because it’s always a good idea to cause a world war when you’re expecting aliens to attack any minute – not! Crazy dudes with too much power and evil mechas run riot over the show this volume. They’re clobberin’ the Earth Federation forces. But by the end of this volume, EF is starting to regroup. They’ve got new mechas on the prototype list ready to go out, Ryu is chomping at the bit to pilot them, and an all new battleship to take on both DC and aliens alike gets made. It’s mechas, mechas everywhere. Mecha battles in the South Pole, in the air, on the ground , dog fights, space battles going on! It’s more mecha than even a mecha fan can handle! Action, action, action all the way in this volume mecha fans! And a big whollop of intrigue to boot! EXTRAS: The bonus goody for this disc is an all new 8 page booklet with background info, character and mecha profiles, including full color images and a glossary. IN SUMMARY: It’s mecha action everywhere when the Earth organizations go postal and it’s all out war! |
