#command type

I haven’t talked about it before, but these kits are super easy to put together. The runners are so well designed you almost don’t need nippers. And the parts all snap together without glue and look good even without paint

Happy Chaos has the ability to control people to a certain extent, but we don't exactly have a clear idea of what limit there is with him in particular.

What can be said (at least with regard to Command Type Gears), is that they have enough self-awareness and willpower to at least resist "commands" from their own kind... which is essentially what Sol warned Dizzy about with regards to the Justice Copy that was created by Crow Kuruwaba a good 6 years prior.

Command Type Gears can also control Youkai, as Valentine did during her campaign against Izuna's tribe. Even though a Valentine is not necessarily as powerful as a Command Type Gear like Justice or Dizzy, they can still hold a great influence over certain kinds of beings, not just Gears created from their own series (like was the case with Justice).

In Happy Chaos' case, he could control normal humans and brainwash them in to doing or thinking whatever he wanted, and even give them a limited scope of self-awareness at the same time... which is a bit more advanced than even the brainwashing Valentine performed on Sin Kiske.

He was even able to manipulate Anji Mito temporarily, which had near fatal results.

If Happy Chaos wanted to, he could probably also manipulate Sol and Dizzy if they were caught unawares, but there's probably also a "trick" to being able to do that, especially given that Sol himself survived an encounter with Bedman in the Backyard.

Dr. Paradigm is in a similar situation as he was under Justice’ control in the past too… so far, there’s nothing indicating precisely how controlling other Gears works, other than what Sol has indicated about Justice only being able to control Gears (and Youkai) that existed “after” she was created.

But even that seems to be limited to only a local area.  Justice was only able to control the O.P.U.S. in Illyria, and not other countries when gathering her energy, during that time she didn’t try to control Sol or the rest of the Gears in the area… only just the Opus units.

Chronus claimed that the fusion process with her was incomplete too, so that might be part of the reason.  Also the way Opus are constructed suggests that they are more compliant to obeying orders than Gears are (since Gears can evolve past that requirement potentially).

Gears who have developed their own will and consciousness probably have a higher chance of shrugging off mind control than Gears that haven’t (so Testament is probably more capable of resisting now that he’s aware).

Case in point, Sin was brainwashed by Valentine in to fighting Sol and Izuna, but after Sol knocked some sense in to him (and then some), Sin regained his senses and was able to resist Valentine’s influence.

Sol once warned Dizzy of any resonance that she might experience, and not to let it affect her, so it’s likely she might share than information with sentient Gears of her own kind… that said, she has the same abilities as Justice (being a Backup), so that power of hers might even serve as a kind of “noise canceler” for any Gears nearby (in theory).

There are several theories concerning Dizzy’s origins, moreover there’s evidence to indicate that Dizzy is more ‘artificial’ than natural-born.

If the latter is the case, it would most likely mean that Dizzy was intended to either be a replacement for Justice in the case of her death (though if that’s the case, whomever designed her didn’t know that Gear Cells continue to function even if their host dies), or, even worse… to be a more advanced version of Justice… since her human D.N.A. is still present as a Half-Gear, and theoretically might have been a deliberate process.

All I can say for certain is that Dizzy was discovered in America, and the United States was responsible for the majority of Gear Manufacturing in the 2060s onwards.

Currently that is a mystery.

Not only because we don’t know why “That Man” needed the data, but also because we don’t really know the ‘cause’ and origin of Gear Singing.

You see, it has a lot to do with the fact that Justice had the power to command Gears made after she was created.

Because she was so complete and fully sentient she somehow “developed” this ability to control Gears through ‘noise’.

It may not be something she was fully aware of being able to do upon awakening as a Gear… meaning that Gear Singing is outside even “That Man’s” plans and expectations, which would probably be the main reason why he wished to study it further.

Still, resonance and the ability to “attune” ones self seems to come in handy for adapting to the Backyard, which appears to be the reason why he and Sol have been able to enter the Backyard and come back unscathed without their souls being crushed…

This may have a lot to do with why Bedman thinks of Sol as a potential threat to his plans, though we don’t fully understand what those plans are yet.

Still, I don’t think “That Man” would have a need to recreate Justice, as even Dizzy and Sin inherited much of her power and even gained powers of their own.

More importantly, keep in mind that “That Man” relies heavily on Sol as the “Prototype Gear” rather than focusing on Justice herself… so Sol may be more important than Justice if this information is to be reliable.
