Xabungle/Funny
< Xabungle
- Sentou Mecha Xabungle had at least 4 of these per episode, be it physical, a pun, or just something coming in from left field - it delivered the funny.
- But the crowning point would have to be - after Jiron, whose head is very round, has been called "DO-Manjuu" ("Big"; Manjuu is a kind of round confection) for most of the series - when Jiron Amos is finally decried as MELON Amos. In Jiron's reaction shot, his face is briefly a melon. Must be seen to be believed.
- Alpha Gaiden includes that instance. This image has not been altered. The fan translation gives this scene a Pragmatic Adaptation to keep the joke; Jiron is called "Melonhead" by one of the villains, and after getting fed up with it, causes the villain to instead call him "Melon" Amos. The two words sound very similar in Japanese.
- That, and the infamous Missile Toss, in which they catch a giant missile with a Mecha maybe a fifth the weapon's size, then throw it back.
