In G Gundam season 1 episode 9, titled "Powerful Enemy! Chapman's Heroic Challenge," the story builds upon previous episodes' events as the crew is still aboard the Neo-France colony. The episode is full of action as another Gundam Fighter representing Neo-Sweden, Chapman, challenges Domon to a fight.
Chapman's fight comes with a condition: it takes place in a Neo-Denmark colony contaminated with radioactive fallout. The colony serves as the perfect battleground for Chapman's Domon's attack style that prioritizes speed over strength.
Despite the setback of the radioactive fallout in the Neo-Denmark colony, Domon and Chapman start their Gundam Battle. Unlike previous fights, this one is unique as it takes place on artificial ice, which creates the perfect environment for Chapman to demonstrate his skills in the art of fencing. However, Domon is fierce in battle, and the pair engage each other in the most challenging fight of the competition.
The battle takes a turn when it becomes clear that Chapman is not fighting alone and that someone else is using a device to control his movements or feeds the information to him to know what Domon is planning. Despite the disadvantageous fighting field, Domon is attuned to Chapman's movements and manages to find an opening and strikes a decisive blow, destroying Chapman's Gundam.
After the fight, Neo-Sweden and Neo-Denmark pledge their support to defeat Neo-Japan, but the relationship between Domon and Allenby still remains contentious. As the episode closes, it can be seen that Domon reflects on his past and memories of his father, possibly foreshadowing future storylines.
Overall, the episode is intense and action-packed, with battle scenes that are intricately created. Combined with a compelling story and character development, it is an enjoyable watch for both fans and new viewers alike.
