Please don't put Fan Nickname to the YMMV section. Fan Nickname is a trivia trope and therefore it belongs here. Beside, there's a trivia section already.
Ral isn't 35 anymore. At best the R35 designation on his gouf is an indication of his age when he built it, and it was already around in the original series.

You missed the joke. Ral is 35 years old regardless of what year it is. It's supposed to not make sense.
Edited by 213.205.252.210 What's precedent ever done for us?
I think the joke was that he's OLD not immortally 35.... The character page claims that h's outright lying about his age, with no reason to assert that.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but I think Build Burning is actually based off the Impulse rather than the Burning/God. It doesn't have much in common with the G Gundam suit.

Official site say nothing about its base model.
And I agree with you.
If you look at it, I think you can see the Impulse influences more clearly.

Confirmed. From this blog
''「バーニング」は綿田監督の命名だが、ゴッドガンダムの海外名と同じだったのは偶然。 （発注時にゴッドガンダムベースという話は無し）''
The director has no idea that Burning is also God's oversea name.
Suit just has the same designer as Impulse, Okawara. If you look at the two side by side, you'll notice they share basically no details other than slightly similar chest shapes. I seem to recall it being stated both Winning and Build Burning are scratch built, which is why they have no base model listing on the official website.
Anyway, reason it said it was based on Burning Gundam before is because it's gimmick set is heavily based on God Gundam and Sekai is introduced doing an extended Domon Kasshu reference, along with the name, but it's not a big deal if people feel like it shouldn't be mentioned as that.
Agree that it has lot of Shout-Out element to God (and that may worth mention). It's claim that it's based on Burning that's fault (it may count as Hilarious in Hindsight though).

I'm not sure if you guys visit the discussion page or just keep an eye on the trope page but either way, I just want to say thank you for starting this page.

I felt pretty dumb now. I thought Star Winning Gundam won't combine its part into a 1/144 Gundam and Try Burning in the show is more similar to Real Grade.
