[00:06] ---
    Wow! This is our new Force Nest?
[00:10] ---
    It's a house shaped like a ship!
[00:12] ---
    Riku and I designed it.
[00:15] ---
    It's really nice.
[00:17] ---
    Yes, it's lovely.
[00:19] ---
    Isn't it amazing, Molly?
[00:21] ---
    Take a look inside.
    We worked hard on planning.
[00:26] ---
    This is the living-
    and-briefing room.
[00:29] ---
    The observation deck.
[00:31] ---
    And an underwater viewing room.
[00:35] ---
    - Awesome!
    - Awesome!
[00:38] ---
    This really is something else.
[00:40] ---
    Yukki, what about the catapult?
[00:43] ---
    Of course, it's all set up.
[00:48] ---
    Riku, Gundam 00 Sky.
[00:51] ---
    Here I go!
[00:57] ---
    What's this? It's incredible.
[01:05] ---
    I can't believe we got
    such a splendid Force Nest.
[01:08] ---
    We owe it to everyone's hard work.
[01:10] ---
    That's right, KO-1.
[01:12] ---
    Without your shuttle, we'd have been
    unable to try the Lotus Challenge.
[01:18] ---
    I relied on Momo a lot
    for the piloting, though.
[01:21] ---
    And in that flag battle,
[01:23] ---
    we won thanks to Momochi and Miss Ayame.
[01:29] ---
    You contributed a lot too, Yukki.
[01:32] ---
    No.
[01:34] ---
    More than that...
[01:36] ---
    Riku was amazing.
[01:38] ---
    He's gotten really strong.
[01:43] ---
    When we first logged into GBN,
    I never imagined
[01:48] ---
    that he'd be able to
    build such great Gunpla.
[01:55] ---
    But...what about me?
[01:59] ---
    In the Lotus Challenge...
[02:01] ---
    and the flag battle for the island...
[02:03] ---
    I could've done more.
[02:08] ---
    I want to get stronger, too.
[02:14] ---
    What's going on, Yukio?
[02:17] ---
    Want a new Gunpla?
[02:19] ---
    N-No, it's not that...
[02:23] ---
    Oh yeah, you should
    come visit our place, Nanami.
[02:27] ---
    We built a new Force Nest
    on our island.
[02:31] ---
    Wow, a vacation on a private island.
[02:34] ---
    Like a celebrity!
[02:36] ---
    - I-Isn't it?
    - I'll put a nice flower in my hair.
[04:10] ---
    "Joint Front"
[04:16] ---
    You want to become strong like Riku?
[04:18] ---
    Yes. The seasonal event,
    the Raid Battle, is coming up too.
[04:23] ---
    I want to contribute more
    to the force.
[04:26] ---
    So I need to change.
[04:29] ---
    I thought if I asked you,
    I could get some good advice.
[04:34] ---
    Oh my!
[04:36] ---
    Yukki, what an adorable boy you are!
[04:40] ---
    I can't breathe.
[04:42] ---
    Well then, I have
    the perfect mission for you.
[04:48] ---
    Mirror mission...Mirror mission...
[04:53] ---
    Here it is.
[04:55] ---
    You mean like a looking glass?
    Why is it called that?
[04:59] ---
    It's a secret.
[05:03] ---
    What's the mission like?
[05:05] ---
    You'll have to try it for yourself.
[05:09] ---
    Well, I'll tell you a little about it.
[05:12] ---
    Many trials are in store for you there.
[05:15] ---
    You'll encounter hardships
    like you've never experienced before.
[05:22] ---
    That being said, your reward
    after overcoming those hardships
[05:26] ---
    is just a graduation badge
    proving you cleared it.
[05:29] ---
    So this mission isn't that popular.
[05:33] ---
    Between you and me,
[05:34] ---
    Tiger, Shahry, and even the champ
    benefited from this mission.
[05:40] ---
    All of them?
[05:43] ---
    Actually, me too.
[05:51] ---
    Alright.
[05:53] ---
    - I'd like to enter the Mirror mission.
    - I'd like to enter the Mirror mission.
[06:02] ---
    Mr. Ogre's little brother!
[06:03] ---
    A Build Diver!
[06:05] ---
    - You're doing this mission?
    - You too?
[06:08] ---
    Don't copy me. I'm trying to enter.
[06:12] ---
    I'm entering it too.
    You're the one copying me.
[06:18] ---
    Molly...
[06:19] ---
    Yukki?
[06:22] ---
    Sarah?
[06:24] ---
    You're...
[06:26] ---
    The person with stomach problems...
[06:31] ---
    I've confirmed three entrants.
[06:35] ---
    Once you retire from this mission,
[06:38] ---
    you cannot re-enter for a month.
[06:40] ---
    So please be careful.
[06:42] ---
    Well then, have a pleasant mission.
[06:50] ---
    From Phase 1 to Phase 4,
[06:52] ---
    you clear 4 challenges,
    then try the final phase at the end.
[06:57] ---
    It's scary not knowing each phase's
    details until the last minute.
[07:03] ---
    No...I'll clear it no matter
    what sort of mission it is.
[07:07] ---
    I'm going to become strong too!
[07:09] ---
    Strong?
[07:11] ---
    Yukki, you're strong already.
[07:16] ---
    No. If I don't work harder,
    I can't be like Riku.
[07:20] ---
    Like Riku?
[07:21] ---
    Hey, hey!
[07:23] ---
    You can stand there chatting
    forever, for all I care.
[07:26] ---
    I'm going on my own.
[07:28] ---
    You can't do that.
[07:30] ---
    It's in the mission specs.
[07:32] ---
    Those who enter at the same time
    must try to clear it together.
[07:37] ---
    If you don't want to be with us,
    then battle-out.
[07:40] ---
    I would if I could.
[07:42] ---
    But this mission is
    only held once a month.
[07:45] ---
    Wait, why don't you quit yourself?
[07:47] ---
    I don't want to battle-out either.
[07:50] ---
    Oh, but Sarah...
[07:52] ---
    I'm going.
[07:54] ---
    I want to try it with you.
[07:57] ---
    Coming!
[07:59] ---
    Molly wants to come too.
[08:01] ---
    - OK, I got you...
    - Coming!
[08:10] ---
    First, in Phase 1,
    we battle NPD monsters
[08:14] ---
    and test our own abilities.
[08:19] ---
    This is gonna be a cinch!
[08:21] ---
    Let's go.
[08:30] ---
    Phase 1, start.
[08:32] ---
    Take this!
[08:33] ---
    I'll just overwhelm them!
[08:41] ---
    This distance is in my range, but...
[08:45] ---
    But there's too many!
[08:53] ---
    Oh yeah,
    you always fight long distance.
[08:57] ---
    Struggling so much
    with your own style.
[09:00] ---
    What a joke!
[09:03] ---
    So you're the boss, huh?
[09:09] ---
    A decoy!
[09:12] ---
    Rock, paper, scissors.
[09:13] ---
    Once again.
[09:15] ---
    Once again.
[09:17] ---
    Look that way.
[09:24] ---
    Phase 1, clear.
[09:29] ---
    Those weak monsters
    almost beat me.
[09:32] ---
    If Bro saw this...
[09:37] ---
    Riku probably wouldn't
    have struggled this much.
[09:50] ---
    No, the mission's just begun.
[09:53] ---
    I'll overcome everything
    and become like Riku.
[10:01] ---
    We should be in the Phase 2 area...
[10:19] ---
    An 0 Gundam?
[10:23] ---
    Phase 2, start.
[10:25] ---
    (Thousand of Fiery Fungos)
[10:36] ---
    Why fungos? I'm trying to
    get better at Gunpla Battle!
[10:45] ---
    It won't hurt in GBN!
[10:48] ---
    Th-That's right...
[10:58] ---
    Too light on the barrage!
[11:02] ---
    The trial of Phase 3 is...
[11:05] ---
    An assortment of puzzle rings
    from around the world?
[11:09] ---
    What good will this do
    in Gunpla Battle?
[11:13] ---
    You can't solve it
    just by pulling with force.
[11:17] ---
    The key is to twist it
    in an unexpected direction.
[11:21] ---
    Shut up!
[11:27] ---
    Phase 4 is...
[11:29] ---
    A-An obstacle course?!
[11:34] ---
    Again, what good will it do
    if you're not in a Gunpla?
[11:39] ---
    Maybe we entered
    the wrong mission.
[11:45] ---
    Watch your step.
[11:47] ---
    If you slip and fall,
    it's a lake of ice.
[11:49] ---
    Yeah.
[12:06] ---
    Help!
[12:08] ---
    I-I can't swim!
[12:10] ---
    M-Me neither!
[12:13] ---
    You...guys?
[12:17] ---
    Huh?
[12:20] ---
    I can stand.
[12:37] ---
    You want to be like Riku?
[12:39] ---
    Yeah.
[12:40] ---
    That's why I entered this mission.
[12:43] ---
    I see.
[12:45] ---
    He's good for sure.
[12:47] ---
    Unfortunately,
    my brother respects him too.
[12:51] ---
    Why did you enter?
[12:55] ---
    If you don't want to say...
[12:57] ---
    My brother also tried
    this mission before.
[13:01] ---
    Mr. Ogre did?
[13:02] ---
    Bro's building a new Gunpla
    right now, too.
[13:06] ---
    To become stronger.
[13:08] ---
    To feed on even tastier battles.
[13:11] ---
    Tastier battles?
[13:13] ---
    He's a battle gourmet.
[13:16] ---
    In order to one day taste
    the ultimate battle,
[13:20] ---
    he's always honing
    himself and his Gunpla.
[13:24] ---
    He's strong enough as it is.
[13:27] ---
    But it's not enough.
[13:29] ---
    He'll become even stronger...
[13:32] ---
    and I'll get left behind.
[13:37] ---
    I started playing Gunpla Battle
    because I admired Bro.
[13:42] ---
    I wanted to catch up with
    that amazing guy.
[13:45] ---
    To get a little closer to him,
[13:48] ---
    I worked on my battle skills too.
[13:50] ---
    But no matter what, Bro is always
    moving further ahead of me.
[13:56] ---
    I even resorted to that stupid stuff.
[14:00] ---
    So to keep him from getting
    any further ahead...
[14:04] ---
    To get as close as possible to him,
[14:06] ---
    I want to become stronger.
[14:11] ---
    I see.
[14:12] ---
    I understand how you feel.
[14:15] ---
    It was the opposite for me.
[14:17] ---
    At first, I was teaching
    Riku about Gunpla.
[14:21] ---
    But then I realized that
    only Riku kept growing.
[14:26] ---
    I was only watching by his side.
[14:28] ---
    I need to become stronger
    so I won't get left behind.
[14:35] ---
    They're rooting for you.
[14:38] ---
    They're on your side.
[14:40] ---
    They're aware of them.
[14:42] ---
    Your feelings, Yukki.
[14:44] ---
    And your feelings, too.
[14:46] ---
    The love that
    you two have for Gunpla...
[14:50] ---
    Everyone's aware.
[14:55] ---
    You know, I've never
    properly introduced myself.
[14:59] ---
    I'm Yukki.
[15:00] ---
    I'm Sarah.
[15:01] ---
    This is Mol.
[15:03] ---
    I'm Do-ji.
[15:07] ---
    O-Oh well...
[15:08] ---
    I did bad things to...
    Um, to you guys...
[15:11] ---
    Like that Break Decal...
[15:14] ---
    All this time...
    I've wanted to apologize...
[15:23] ---
    Forget it!
[15:25] ---
    Oh yeah...
[15:26] ---
    Your style is to support Riku
    and the others from long range, right?
[15:31] ---
    Yeah, I guess...
[15:32] ---
    Could I do that too?
[15:35] ---
    If I switch from my current style
    to supporting Bro and the others,
[15:39] ---
    will I be useful to him?
[15:42] ---
    I see.
[15:43] ---
    And if I change to
    fighting at the forefront,
[15:46] ---
    then maybe I can be like Riku.
[15:49] ---
    Why don't we try new battle styles?
[15:52] ---
    Sounds good. Let's do it!
[15:54] ---
    I'll learn to cover Bro
    from long distance.
[15:57] ---
    And me, how to fight like Riku.
[16:00] ---
    - Alright, we'll do it!
    - Yeah!
[16:04] ---
    OK.
[16:05] ---
    In the final phase's Gunpla Battle,
    we must use what we've learned so far.
[16:10] ---
    Who's the opponent?
[16:15] ---
    A black Ghirarga.
[16:17] ---
    And a black GM III.
[16:20] ---
    No matter who I'm fighting,
    I'll stick with my new battle style.
[16:32] ---
    To be useful to Bro.
[16:36] ---
    To become like Riku.
[16:45] ---
    No! First, position yourself
    where you can hide.
[16:48] ---
    Oh, OK.
[16:51] ---
    Don't stop! You'll be targeted.
[17:01] ---
    I can't move up.
[17:02] ---
    What are you doing?!
    I said not to stop moving.
[17:26] ---
    Darn! Where is their GM III hiding?
[17:35] ---
    And you were telling me?!
[17:36] ---
    Never revealing where you are
    is a foundation of support attacks.
[17:40] ---
    Shut up!
[17:43] ---
    It's a strange feeling.
    Like I'm fighting against myself.
[17:51] ---
    Actually, that GM III's
    battle style...
[17:54] ---
    Maybe they're simulating
    our past battle tactics.
[17:58] ---
    You mean we're struggling against
    our old selves we've cast off?
[18:09] ---
    Who are you?
[18:37] ---
    - Huh?
    - The specs!
[18:46] ---
    I won't let you!
[19:03] ---
    His shooting is more accurate now.
[19:09] ---
    His dynamic vision
    and reflex speed have improved.
[19:12] ---
    Take out the tentacles.
    I'll get the main body.
[19:15] ---
    Got it.
[19:22] ---
    Thanks, Yukki!
[19:27] ---
    That eyeball's
    gotta be its weak point.
[19:31] ---
    You can't force it.
[19:33] ---
    Look carefully
    and figure out the hidden mechanism.
[19:37] ---
    That eyeball might be a decoy.
[19:39] ---
    Then where's its real weak point?
[19:43] ---
    Its butt!
[20:09] ---
    We've finally found it.
[20:11] ---
    Yeah.
[20:13] ---
    This is the way...
[20:15] ---
    - We fight!
    - We fight!
[20:23] ---
    I guess you can learn
    from your reflection in the mirror.
[20:27] ---
    Yeah.
[20:29] ---
    We just need to stick to
    the battle style we believe in.
[20:48] ---
    - Welcome back.
    - Welcome back.
[20:50] ---
    Wait...huh?
[20:52] ---
    We're back.
[20:54] ---
    We cleared it together.
[21:04] ---
    I'm sorry.
[21:06] ---
    I apologize for everything.
[21:08] ---
    For tricking you into battle
[21:10] ---
    and using something cheap
    like a Break Decal so I could win.
[21:14] ---
    But I promise that I'll never
    fight a shameful battle again.
[21:19] ---
    So...I'm really sorry.
[21:26] ---
    But you know what?
[21:28] ---
    No matter how strong you get,
    my brother's always stronger.
[21:33] ---
    Don't forget!
[21:36] ---
    Yeah, I won't lose either.
[21:44] ---
    You don't have to change everything.
[21:46] ---
    But it's better to change
    the things you ought to.
[21:49] ---
    Yeah.
[21:51] ---
    Thanks for today. See you again.
[21:54] ---
    See ya!
[22:04] ---
    Yukio, you're updating your Gunpla?
[22:07] ---
    Yes.
[22:08] ---
    In order to be strong like Riku,
[22:11] ---
    I want to build a Gunpla with which
    I can improve my battle style further.
[23:48] ---
    What? On the Mirror mission
    server, this time?
[23:52] ---
    Yes.
[23:53] ---
    But the effects of
    the bug are minimal,
[23:55] ---
    and no reports of damage
    to the system.
[23:58] ---
    But the repeated occurrences
    cannot be ignored.
[24:02] ---
    Make sure to keep a close watch.
[24:05] ---
    Understood, sir.
[24:11] ---
    Both Yukki and Do-ji
    cleared the mission
[24:14] ---
    in order to become stonger.
[24:16] ---
    I can't fall behind them.
[24:17] ---
    You've grown indeed, Riku.
[24:19] ---
    You're far better now.
[24:20] ---
    Mr. Tiger!
[24:22] ---
    You're now strong enough
    for me to recognize you as a man.
[24:25] ---
    Thank you so much!
[24:26] ---
    Then fight with me, Riku.
[24:29] ---
    - Huh?
    - A real and serious battle!
[24:32] ---
    Next episode, A Man's Will.
[24:34] ---
    I'm not going easy on you,
[24:36] ---
    so don't you hold back, either!
