History[]

Background[]

When Chibodee was a young boy, his mother managed to save enough money to live in the Neo America space colony. As they, and other colonists, were gathering to depart, a group of hijackers dressed as clowns arrived, wanting to take the ship for their own passage. Chibodee was taken hostage by them, and his mother was killed in the incident. He was left to fend for himself in the streets of New York City and gained a fear of clowns that would last to his adulthood. After a rough childhood, Chibodee was scouted as a boxer. His skill eventually won him the right to travel to the space colony and eventually became their Gundam Fighter. Along the way, Chibodee met a group of four young women trying to get to the colony by stowing away on a transport. Seeing a spirit similar to his own, Chibodee decided to hire them as his Gundam crew.

13th Gundam Fight[]

He returned to Earth not only to represent the Neo American Gundam Fighter in the 13th Gundam Fight, but also to compete in the unification boxing match between Earth and the colonies. He is the embodiment of the "American Dream," having risen from the bottom to the top by his own strength alone. Although he is a Gundam Fighter, who should be hated on the devastated Earth, he is a popular figure, adored like a hero by the residents of downtown. He himself understands this, and is always trying to be a star of hope for the downtown area.

At the start of the championship match, Domon Kasshu interrupts dressed as the Earth's champion Carmela, knocks Chibodee down and challenges him to a Gundam Fight, which he accepts. However, a faction of Sean Douglas of the Department of Defense, who is using Chibodee for his own career advancement, leaked false information and plotted to eliminate the match by secretly disposing of Domon. When Rain Mikamura, Domon's partner, informed Chibodee of this treachery, he dispatched the Neo American agents himself and insisted on fighting his match with Domon. He was quickly defeated by the Shining Gundam's special technique, but the New Yorkers watching the match cheered for him despite the loss. Realizing he still had to be their hero and carry their dream of a better life, Chibodee promised Domon a better match in the future and continued the Gundam Fight.

Chibodee then appeared in Neo Mexico, where government agents talked him into facing their rogue fighter Chico Rodriguez. Chibodee accepted after hearing that Domon may have been killed by Chico, though in actuality they intended to use Chibodee to draw Chico out into the open. However, after Domon saved Chibodee's life from Chico, and the Neo Mexican military attack, Chibodee was angry at being used for this purpose. He later helped out by attacking the Neo Mexican mobile suits to prevent Chico's match with Domon from being interrupted. Though Chibodee was angry with Domon for apparently killing Chico, he was happy to hear that Chico's death was faked so the government wouldn't pursue him any longer.

In Shinjuku, he is infected with DG cells due to a trap set by Master Asia. He attacks Domon along with Sai Saici, George de Sand, and Argo Gulskii, but is saved by Queen of Spades, and becomes a member of the New Shuffle Alliance after receiving the Shuffle emblem. The experience left Chibodee traumatized, and he turned to alcohol. He traveled to the Guiana Highlands after Domon went there to train. His crew decided that he needed a victory to bring him out of his depression and stole Shining Gundam's battle data in order to rig a match with Domon. Chibodee was outraged when he found this out and refused. When a flooded river threatened his crew and Rain, Chibodee worked with Domon to rescue them. During his time in the Highlands, he developed his own specialty technique: Bursting Machine Gun Punch.

Chibodee fought in the finals in Neo Hong Kong. His fear of clowns was reawakened when he was scheduled to battle Romario Monini of Neo Portugal. Romario's day job as a clown, Jester Gundam, and mocking laugh sent Chibodee into panic attacks. However, the support of Chibodee's girls gave him the strength to defeat Romario when they sang "America the Beautiful" to him during the match, the song his mother had used as a lullaby. He also faced Domon again, acknowledging that after his first defeat he has held a personal, yet honorable, grudge against him for his past humiliation. Though Domon overcame his Bursting Machine Gun Punch and defeated him again, he reminds Chibodee that they can keep facing each other as long as both of them are still alive. Chibodee agreed and vowed to help Domon defeat the Devil Gundam.

Chibodee then fought in the Battle Royale on Lantau Island, but helped Domon get to the Devil Gundam by fighting the Grand Gundam alongside George de Sand of Neo France. The Grand Gundam exploded after the grueling battle, injuring both Chibodee and George. However, both recovered and traveled into space with Domon in order to rescue Rain and defeat the Devil Gundam, along with the rest of the Shuffle Alliance. The five of them united in a Burning Shuffle Alliance Attack to defeat Ulube Ishikawa in the Grand Master Gundam, allowing Domon to reach the core and defeat the Devil Gundam once and for all.

Relationships[]

Domon Kasshu[]

Despite being angry that Domon disgraced him in his hometown, Chibodee respects Domon and marks him as his eternal rival. They become closer throughout the course of the series, with Chibodee even helping him when Domon's life was targeted by an assassin. He continues to help Domon throughout the series and enjoys being with him.

George de Sand[]

The two have polarizing personalities so may be seen bickering, but they share a love for battle. In the final showdown against Chapman, George said one of his biggest regrets was not being able to fight Chibodee properly, and Chibodee agrees. They fought well together and trust each other in battle.

Chibodee Gals[]

They are usually seen together with Chibodee. When they were caught trying to illegally board a shuttle, he bailed them out and asked them to work for him as he saw himself in them. They support him throughout the Gundam fight and they get along well.
