                                             REVIEW
The fighter representing Neo Germany in the 13th Gundam Fight was a man shrouded in mystery. Never before had anyone seen the face of the masked Schwarz Bruder, who seemingly appeared at random in many places at the right time. Schwarz's GF13-021NG Shadow Gundam was armed with several melee weapons which suited his fighting style. The Shadow Gundam's main armament consisted of two shadow blades that were mounted underneath the arm and deployed in a forward position for combat. Schwarz's lightning fast movements allowed him to use his shadow blades to score multiple hits on an opponent at any one time. The Shadow Gundam was also equipped with an iron net and many small throwable messergranz knives. The Shadow Gundam's Ultimate Attack, Sturm Und Drang, was performed by Schwarz spinning around rapidly in the air like a top.
Schwarz first appeared in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo after Master Asia revealed to former pupil Domon Kasshu that he was a servant of the JDG-00X Dark Gundam. After the Dark Gundam withdrew from Japan, Schwarz defeated Domon in an unofficial Gundam Fight to prove to Domon how lacking his skills were. He challenged Domon to learn to use a rusty sword to slice apart trees a way to activate the Super Mode of his GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam. When Domon decided to train in South America's Guyana Highlands, Schwarz maneuvered Domon's fellow members of the Shuffle Alliance to come to Guyana and train with him. When the Dark Gundam reappeared in the Guyana Highlands, Schwarz was severely injured while trying to protect Domon from Master Asia. After Domon defeated the Dark Gundam, Schwarz appeared in Neo Hong Kong alive and well for the Gundam Fight Finals. As the Finals continued, Schwarz was the first to discover that Wong Yun Fat had secretly transported the Dark Gundam to Neo Hong Kong with the intention of resurrecting it.
As the Finals neared their end, Schwarz was assigned to fight Domon's GF13-017NJII Burning Gundam in the final match before the Battle Royale. While Domon was able to counter Schwarz's Sturm Und Drang with his own Sekiha Tenkyoken, Wong's treachery caused Schwarz to be mortally wounded. After the match, Domon was shocked to see that the unmasked Schwarz looked identical to his brother Kyoji, the pilot of the Dark Gundam. In a hospital, Rain Mikamura learned the truth about Schwarz and Kyoji. Earlier in the tournament, the Dark Gundam defeated the real Schwarz. Using the last of his free will, Kyoji took over Schwarz's body and used DG cells to create an android copy of himself. He assigned Schwarz to protect Domon and watch over him. During the Battle Royale on Lantao Island, the Shadow Gundam was destroyed when Schwarz faced the Dark Gundam for the last time before dying himself.
