I've talked a lot about them in the past but I have a soft spot for Chiro and Gibson's dynamic. Sonetimes it seems like they don't get as much acknowledgment. But the two are really tight. As you said Chiro translates for Gibson and can recognize him by his monkey screech alone. Their teamwork is probably a personal favorite of mine. They work so well together and they've been MVP together in saving the team in some of the darkest times. Such as Mandarin kidnapping the others and Chiro and -
2 Gibson had to pilot the Super Robot by themselves, come up w/a plain to outsmart SK so they can sneak into his heavily guarded base and basically just wing it the rest of the way while trying to keep each other alive. Which they did and managed to save the others. Then you have NoF ep. I typically consider this Chiro and Sprx's MVP ep. But all things considered Gibson was pretty impressive too. Despite being oppressed by his worst fear and unable to think properly. He never left Chiro's side-
3 side and was useful helping them get away from danger (compare that to Nova and Otto who ran off and Antauri who had to be shut down). Chiro himself in that ep always kept an eye on Gibson and pulled him along so they wouldn't be separated much like how Nova did Sprx. I definitely see a pattern a lot of times when the team is facing a really stressful adversary, Chiro and Gibson end up sticking close to each other if they can. The two genuinely like and understand the other. Gibson's always-
4 been fair to Chiro. Not minding when he goofs off instead of helping him or even pulling the 'young man' card when Chiro needs some boundaries. Overall I also think it's cute and thoughtful of Gibson to care about Chiro's education. Even when there's a war looming Gibson still gives him homework so he's never behind (aka far ahead of everyone else his age). Likewise it's cute how Chiro gets Gibson's limits and never faults him for it. Chiro's typically the one who watches out for Gibson and-
5 protects him from danger. Such as grabbing him when he falls or picking him up to carry him out of danger. Chiro's pretty protective of Gibson while still knowing he's highly capable as a fighter. Overall they have this nice subtle protective relationship where they share a lot of interests (science, video games) and like having fun w/each other. Though they make a lethal team w/good balance. But you know everybody on team has a great and interesting dybamic w/each other.
Ahhh anon! Iām so sorry this has taken me so long to respond to: I wanted to wait until I was at my computer & not tired out of my mind.
This is such an excellent analysis of Gibson and Chiroās relationship! I love how you pointed out how often Chiro carries Gibson out of danger; thatās a thread I didnāt appreciate in the show when I was younger, but now, every time I see it I canāt help but internally squee a bit inside.
(Especially since Gibson is normally a monkey who prides himself on looking professional and calm, yet he submits to being carried around like a football by Chiro. [I know that like. In battle he rarely seems to worry about appearances but. Itās such a cute little note I canāt help but point it out anyway!])
Gibson is such like---itās hard to really put found family dynamics into strict family roles but!! Gibson is such like a dad type figure. A very Soft & supportive dad, and I love it!!
Thanks so much for sending this in :D
