SS Gundam

There are many name for SS Gundam.  SS is stand for Shaolin Samurai, or SS is double souls, double sabers or double swords.  I would keep it as SS Gundam.  SS Gundam is the main mecha of the Shaolin Samurai Gundam.  It's pilot(s) is Chen Shu and Devi Chan.  SS Gundam contains the shards as infinite battery.  Plus, as long as the pilot wearing the heart gem, SS Gundam will summon the sacred beasts and equips the sacred beast as limbs.

Dark Gundam is the main villain of the G Gundam series and the main target to Domon Kasshu. Dark Gundam contains three abilities including self-recover, self-multiple, and self-evolve.

Kyoji, Domon's older brother, stole the Ultimate Gundam, escaped from Neo Japan colony, and crashed down to the surface of Earth. Ultimate Gundam was recovered and corrupted as the Dark Gundam. The Dark Gundam was targeting by Domon Kasshu, who is the pilot of Shining Gundam, to avenge his mother's death and free his father from cryogenics prison.
