Xabungle	comment	On the distant desert planet of Zora, two distinct civilizations of humans exist: the Innocent, who pioneer culture and science from the safety of their domes, and the Civilians, who live beyond the domes yet rely on the Innocent for the provisions necessary to survive - especially the Walker Machines and battleships that allow them to traverse the land. The Innocent have long ago decreed that any crime committed among the Civilians is automatically forgiven if the perpetrator isn't brought to justice in three days.Jiron Amos, whose parents were murdered by ace Breaker Timp Shaloon a week ago, isn't about to let a time limit get between him and justice.Originally airing in 1982 and enjoying revived popularity due to its inclusion in Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden and Z, Xabungle (long form: Sentou (Combat) Mecha Xabungle, to some Blue Gale Xabungle in deference to its Expository Theme Tune) chronicles Jiron's attempts to get even with Timp, his alliance with the Sandrat bandits, their alliance with culture-obsessed landship captain's daughter Elche Cargo, her issues with ex-employee and would-be suitor Kid Hola, and the eventual one-ship crusade against the Innocent's rule that spawns from Jiron's vendetta.In the hands of anybody else, this would be a particularly gritty tale of desert justice and class warfare, but with Yoshiyuki Tomino at the helm during his post-Ideon emotional peak, the 50-episode series turns into an over-the-top Humongous Mecha romp dripping with too much humor for a lesser (or darker) mecha anime to properly handle. Heck, even it can't handle the comedy lightly, often breaking the Fourth Wall alongside the Three-Day Rule to poke fun at the cliches of its Super Robot predecessors.The show is licensed by Sentai Filmworks and was available to watch on HIDIVE, they also released the show on SD Blu-ray, but it's now out of print.Compare Overman King Gainer.

Xabungle / int_109b036e	type	Abusive Precursors
Xabungle / int_109b036e	comment	Abusive Precursors: The Innocent want the Civilians to become the new inhabitants of Zora, and so most of the series is a sort of test to see if they are truly worthy. The "Abusive" part comes into play when some of the more entrenched Innocent don't want to lose their positions of power...

The "Potan Cannon" area effect weapon. It's used in one battle (and Jiron rips it off, so it can fire at closer range), then either forgotten or simply not used. Clearly a Weapon of Mass Destruction in this world, and probably an example of Holding Back the Phlebotinum. That, or they ran out of fuel/energy/ammunition for it. It was originally a gift anyway.

Xabungle / int_27ca4801	comment	The Film of the Series: Xabungle Graffiti was released 6 months after the series ended. Basically a Clip Show. While the show is a comedic take on serious mecha tropes, the movie really takes a hammer to the fourth wall - and has an improved ending: Instead of Arthur dying and Elchi being permanently blind, Arthur fakes his death and Elchi's eyesight is restorable with Innocent technology. There are some minor changes throughout. Cotoset, and not Hoora, piloting the Xabungle in its first appearance sticks out, and Timp being directly responsible for Kyaring's death (which happened before the Sandrats met/joined the Iron Gear) are some of the bigger ones. Mostly dialogue changes otherwise.

Unusually for the genre, it's actually justified - Jiron and the Sandrats seem to have boarded the Iron Gear with only the clothes on their backs, and this appears to be pretty normal in the setting. Exceptions: Jiron gets his ...iconic brown gear during the first episode and Fatman (of all people...) has a Calvary officer's outfit he likes. Elche changes several times over the course of the show, as befitting someone of cough "high culture".

Xabungle / int_89a17726	comment	Spell My Name With An S: Most of the fansub attempts use spellings of characters' names that run counter to the ones used in Alpha Gaiden (Chiru -> Chill, Dike -> Daiku and so forth). Since they all seem to fall victim to subninjasnote people or other inconveniences that wantonly destroy fansub groups in the place of the series actually being licensed for localization, though, this article will use the Alpha Gaiden Romanizations at least until AXSUS manages to sub the entire series. And then you have the Civilian's Democracy group Solt(Jap. pron.)/Salt(what it sounds like)/Sault(short for Assault, which makes the most sense). A standout is "Elche". What few Japanese sources exist usually spell her name that way... despite the katakana and vocal pronunciation very unambiguously being "Elchi", or ã‚¨ãƒ«ãƒ�. Elche would actually be spelled "ã‚¨ãƒ«ãƒ�ã‚§" in kana. This leads to a lot of debate, even in the SRW community, as to how her name should be spelled.

There's another possibility for what they are, too. It's said that the Innocent can survive in places that have been cleared of Blue Stones, which implies that they're some kind of pollutant. The Innocent just told the Civilians that they were valuable so that they'd collect them so the Innocent could dispose of them (at least some of the "Ascension of Light" rocket launches from the payment point domes may be them shooting the stuff into space). This leads to some of the good ol' horror of the fridge when you think about it. What's a dangerous pollutant that's blue? Radioactive cobalt. The reason the world is in ruins could be due to the effects of a Cobalt Bomb, a hypothetical type of nuclear weapon that was never built because the fallout would kill nearly everything on Earth.

Xabungle / int_f0e85546	type	Unbuilt Trope
Xabungle / int_f0e85546	comment	Unbuilt Trope: predates the likes of Gundam Wing and Gundam SEED by fifteen and twenty years respectively, and it only gets funnier now with various mooks bemoaning why they even bother shooting at the protagonists since they'll automatically miss anyways. Maria comes off as a parody/deconstruction of the common Real Robot (especially Gundam) pacifist heroine; however, that would not become a trend until Gundam Wing, a whole thirteen years later.
