Leiji’s bastard child: (惑星ãƒãƒœ ダンガードA(エース)
The arrival of a Danguard zenmai a week ago made me reflective.
I know your dad didn’t love you. I am sorry for that. Even your stoic emotionless face betrays your sadness Danny boy.
Maybe he was ashamed and never wanted to admit you were his creation. You were jealous of his other children who were more popular at school than you.
Sometimes the other super robots maybe made fun of your manchild lips.
Even Raideen smirked at them behind your back.
And it took me a while to understand why we saw you so late in the anime…How many training sessions did we have to go through? Why did we have to suffer through Patti’s terrible accent?
I was admitingly disapointed when your Force five day rolled around on Monday. Even Spackateers was more exciting in a car crash kind of way. I mean we all knew Captain Mask ( Captain Dan) was Windstar’s (Takuma Ichimonji) dad pretty early on, and what was up with his trumpet solos on the bridge at susnet at ends of episodes?
But eventually as I got older and more sentimental, like an abused spouse, I decided to remember your good points years after our relationship ended. I wear rose colored glasses now. I warmed up to you. And as time went on, I began to see your appeal.
Even your lips did not seem so disagreeable.
