**[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!
