[00:01] ---
    G5 Attack. Mission, start!
[02:19] ---
    Mission complete.
[02:24] ---
    H-How's my time?
[02:25] ---
    Fight previous generations
    of Gundams in the G5 Attack.
[02:29] ---
    Let's rank the result for
    Riku of Build Divers.
[02:35] ---
    10th place!
[02:37] ---
    He's made it into the top 10!
[02:40] ---
    That's amazing!
[02:41] ---
    Way to go, Riku!
[02:43] ---
    I can't believe he made the top 10.
[02:45] ---
    I know.
[02:50] ---
    Riku.
[02:56] ---
    You've taken another step
    towards fulfilling our promise, Riku.
[03:02] ---
    The Raid Battle is coming up...
[03:05] ---
    and a formidable rival has appeared.
[03:10] ---
    That Riku...
[03:12] ---
    He was a complete amateur
    till just the other day.
[03:16] ---
    But now he's catching up to me.
[03:21] ---
    How intriguing.
[04:57] ---
    A pool!
[05:01] ---
    Alright.
[05:03] ---
    Here I go!
[05:05] ---
    - Sarah, let's go.
    - OK.
[05:16] ---
    A pool with an ocean view
    is pretty nice too.
[05:20] ---
    Makes you wonder if
    it's alright to relax so much.
[05:24] ---
    Oh yeah, I haven't seen Yukki lately.
[05:27] ---
    Huh. I guess he's busy.
[05:30] ---
    He said he won't be
    coming to GBN for a while.
[05:34] ---
    I see.
[05:37] ---
    Riku must've inspired him.
[05:39] ---
    What'd you say?
[05:41] ---
    Nothing. Just talking to myself.
[05:44] ---
    So this is your new Force Nest, huh?
[05:50] ---
    Mr. Tiger!
[05:52] ---
    H-Hello.
[05:53] ---
    Hey.
[05:54] ---
    Is this a social call?
[05:56] ---
    Yeah, sort of.
[05:58] ---
    Riku, you got a minute?
[06:02] ---
    Sure.
[06:04] ---
    Mr. Tiger, what did you
    want to talk about?
[06:07] ---
    The thing is...
[06:08] ---
    Every year my force, Toraburyu,
    invites talented Divers to battle
[06:13] ---
    in an event called the Ryukosai.
[06:17] ---
    It's sort of like a friendly match.
[06:20] ---
    Wow.
[06:22] ---
    Wait, are you
    inviting us to this event?
[06:27] ---
    Toraburyu's battle sounds really--
[06:29] ---
    I want you in it.
[06:32] ---
    Enter the Ryukosai
    and have a match with me.
[06:37] ---
    With you?
[06:39] ---
    Yeah, we battle one-on-one
[06:41] ---
    to see once and for all
    whose Gunpla is stronger.
[06:49] ---
    "A Man's Will"
[06:53] ---
    Mr. Tiger challenged you to a battle?
[06:55] ---
    Why? Mr. Tiger is
    basically like your master.
[07:00] ---
    Yeah, that's true, but...
[07:02] ---
    Then why?
[07:04] ---
    Tigerwolf of Toraburyu has
    recognized Riku's strength.
[07:08] ---
    Recognized?
[07:10] ---
    You're one of his rivals now.
[07:13] ---
    Mr. Tigerwolf sees you
    as a worthy opponent.
[07:17] ---
    Mr. Tiger... Me?
[07:20] ---
    You've become strong in my eyes too.
[07:23] ---
    But are you satisfied right now?
[07:26] ---
    No, I want to become even stronger.
[07:29] ---
    If possible,
    I want to fight the champ.
[07:32] ---
    Then all the more reason
    to accept Mr. Tigerwolf's challenge.
[07:37] ---
    It's not often you get to battle
    a high-ranking Diver one-on-one.
[07:42] ---
    You'll learn so much.
[07:44] ---
    Yes!
[07:45] ---
    Don't think of it
    as a learning experience.
[07:48] ---
    You have to fight to win!
[07:50] ---
    Right, Riku?
[07:52] ---
    Yeah, I'll do it.
[07:55] ---
    I'll use everything I have...
[07:57] ---
    and challenge Mr. Tiger!
[08:06] ---
    I heard.
[08:09] ---
    You invited Riku to the Ryukosai?
[08:12] ---
    Magee...always quick to hear the news.
[08:16] ---
    And you're impatient as always.
[08:18] ---
    If you want to battle Riku,
    just wait for an official match.
[08:23] ---
    I was born impatient.
[08:25] ---
    That's what you said when you
    picked a fight with me 3 years ago.
[08:31] ---
    Yeah.
[08:34] ---
    You beat me to a pulp that time.
[08:36] ---
    You shattered my pride, too.
[08:39] ---
    I was just dumbstruck.
[08:41] ---
    I was the one who was speechless.
[08:44] ---
    Do you remember how many times
    you came at me after that?
[08:48] ---
    And you wouldn't stop
    challenging me until you won.
[08:51] ---
    That's how I am.
[08:53] ---
    That's how
    the fearsome maverick Tigerwolf lives!
[08:58] ---
    You're getting too fired up.
    What's gotten into you?
[09:03] ---
    I guess I've lost my cool.
[09:06] ---
    I was proud of being a lone wolf.
[09:09] ---
    But soon, I was surrounded
    by people looking up to me.
[09:13] ---
    We formed a force...
[09:15] ---
    and we run around wildly every day.
[09:20] ---
    Sure, it's fun.
[09:22] ---
    But you know what?
[09:23] ---
    It feels like I'm drifting away
    from what I truly desire.
[09:29] ---
    What you desire...
[09:32] ---
    Did seeing Riku remind you of it?
[09:34] ---
    Yeah. He's a blank slate.
[09:37] ---
    He wants to get strong.
    He wants to win at Gunpla Battle.
[09:41] ---
    Because he kept at it sincerely
    with a pure heart,
[09:45] ---
    he was able to grow so much
    in a short amount of time.
[09:49] ---
    Watching him made me remember...
[09:52] ---
    Why did I come to GBN?
[09:55] ---
    It's simple!
[09:57] ---
    To battle and defeat strong players.
[09:59] ---
    To reach the pinnacle of my strength!
[10:02] ---
    That's why I'm going to fight Riku.
[10:05] ---
    After I defeat Riku,
    I'll challenge Shahry, Rommel,
[10:09] ---
    and then Kyoya Kujo!
[10:12] ---
    I am a fighting man.
[10:14] ---
    I am Tigerwolf the Tri-Fang!
[10:22] ---
    Riku.
[10:25] ---
    Yukki!
[10:27] ---
    Are you all done now?
[10:28] ---
    No, it might take a little longer.
[10:31] ---
    Oh, OK.
[10:33] ---
    I heard from Momoka.
[10:35] ---
    You're going to battle Mr. Tiger?
[10:37] ---
    Yeah...
[10:40] ---
    Hey, do you remember
    when we first met Mr. Tiger?
[10:44] ---
    Of course!
[10:46] ---
    He taught us so much about
    the basics of living in GBN.
[10:51] ---
    You're grateful, right?
[10:52] ---
    Yeah.
[10:54] ---
    Then you have to repay the kindness.
[10:56] ---
    The kindness?
[10:57] ---
    Yeah.
[10:58] ---
    In the game of shogi,
[11:00] ---
    it's called "repaying the kindness"
    when a student defeats their master.
[11:04] ---
    I think it means that
[11:06] ---
    the student was able to win
    thanks to what the master taught them.
[11:11] ---
    Repaying the kindness...
[11:13] ---
    I'll come to GBN
    and cheer for you in battle.
[11:17] ---
    You can do it, Riku.
[11:21] ---
    Thanks, Yukki.
[11:24] ---
    We will now begin the Ryukosai,
[11:27] ---
    the battle event
    hosted by Force Toraburyu.
[11:38] ---
    Stop! We have a winner!
[11:47] ---
    The match between Riku and Tigerwolf
    is the one after the next.
[11:51] ---
    Make sure you collect
    their machine data.
[11:55] ---
    Yes, sir.
[11:58] ---
    The 4th match just started.
[12:01] ---
    - It's time, Riku.
    - Yeah.
[12:04] ---
    Get pumped, pumped, and more pumped!
[12:08] ---
    Don't get him worked up.
[12:12] ---
    What's wrong, Sarah?
[12:14] ---
    Your Gunpla...
[12:16] ---
    It doesn't look like it's changed,
    but it's changed.
[12:20] ---
    I improved it.
[12:21] ---
    Because if I don't give my best,
    it'd be disrespectful to Mr. Tiger.
[12:30] ---
    How foolish.
[12:35] ---
    It's you.
[12:37] ---
    The Raid Battle is coming up,
[12:39] ---
    and you're revealing all your tricks.
[12:43] ---
    People can do all the
    reconnaissance they want.
[12:46] ---
    Because in the end, I will win.
[12:49] ---
    Such irrational behavior.
[12:52] ---
    We really don't see eye to eye.
[12:54] ---
    Hey, don't steal my line.
[12:56] ---
    Combat freak.
[12:58] ---
    Gunpla freak.
[13:03] ---
    Master.
[13:06] ---
    The 4th match is over.
[13:08] ---
    Alright.
[13:13] ---
    Riku, I am a wall.
[13:17] ---
    I am the mightiest wall that
    has ever stood before you.
[13:30] ---
    The final match of the Ryukosai!
[13:33] ---
    The match between Riku of Build Divers
[13:35] ---
    and Tigerwolf of Toraburyu
    will now begin.
[13:39] ---
    The rules are the same as before.
[13:41] ---
    There is no time limit.
[13:42] ---
    The one who incapacitates
    their opponent is the winner.
[13:48] ---
    No rifle, huh?
[13:50] ---
    Hand-to-hand combat specs.
[13:51] ---
    - Is Riku going to fight...
    - ...with Tiger's style?
[13:57] ---
    You got some guts, Riku.
[13:59] ---
    To fight Mr. Tiger...
[14:02] ---
    I'll bring you to the ground.
[14:04] ---
    ...at his full power.
[14:07] ---
    Start!
[14:10] ---
    Too slow!
[14:18] ---
    Such punching power!
[14:25] ---
    Riku, I'll tell you
    your Gunpla's weak point.
[14:28] ---
    The output-raising shoulder binders
    limit your range of motion.
[14:42] ---
    That's...
[14:46] ---
    Lash Position.
[14:48] ---
    The 00 Sky's hand-to-hand combat mode!
[14:50] ---
    He was fully prepared.
[14:53] ---
    There you go...
[14:54] ---
    That's more like it, Riku!
[15:04] ---
    Darn!
[15:05] ---
    He lowered the center of gravity
    to increase mobility.
[15:14] ---
    Don't take me lightly!
[15:21] ---
    Nice punch.
[15:31] ---
    Not a chance!
[15:34] ---
    Mr. Tiger sure is good.
[15:36] ---
    He's unbelievably strong.
[15:39] ---
    Be impressed when you have time.
[15:41] ---
    - Take this, Riku.
    - His special move!
[15:44] ---
    My ultimate secret.
[15:46] ---
    Ryukorodo!
[15:53] ---
    Riku!
[16:05] ---
    What?!
[16:10] ---
    I held out against
    Mr. Tiger's special move.
[16:14] ---
    Time to fight back!
[16:24] ---
    Yes!
[16:28] ---
    Riku's in for a surprise.
[16:32] ---
    When Tigerwolf gets serious...
[16:35] ---
    Fine then, Riku.
[16:41] ---
    I'll show you.
[16:44] ---
    Howl!
[16:52] ---
    First, Tenro.
[16:58] ---
    Second, Koko.
[17:01] ---
    Special move Raijin Thunder!
[17:14] ---
    Riku!
[17:17] ---
    Special moves have variations.
[17:21] ---
    V-Variations?
[17:23] ---
    I won't let you
    jump over it so easily.
[17:26] ---
    Nor will I let you smash it.
[17:29] ---
    I am a tall and sturdy wall!
[17:37] ---
    Looks like the match is over.
[17:39] ---
    Riku...
[17:44] ---
    He's not giving up?
[17:46] ---
    Fine. I'll fight you to the end!
[17:50] ---
    Riku!
[17:51] ---
    - That's enough.
    - Riku, throw in the towel!
[17:54] ---
    It can still fight.
[17:56] ---
    00 Sky hasn't given its all yet.
[18:08] ---
    A variation?
[18:11] ---
    Maybe that's...
[18:16] ---
    But...what kind of backlash
    will it have on the 00 Sky?
[18:24] ---
    No...I have to.
[18:27] ---
    Even if I've never even tested it.
[18:32] ---
    I'm going to...
[18:34] ---
    show Mr. Tiger everything we've got!
[18:38] ---
    Trans-Am Infinity!
[19:05] ---
    Raijin Thunder!
[19:29] ---
    He wrapped his sword...
[19:31] ---
    with the wings of light.
[19:33] ---
    That Gunpla is full of ingenuity.
[19:38] ---
    It's overflowing with love.
[19:41] ---
    This is Riku's...
[19:46] ---
    Riku's...
[19:49] ---
    Gunpla!
[19:54] ---
    The 00 Sky is...
[20:02] ---
    Finally...
[20:04] ---
    you've earned your special move.
[20:07] ---
    Special move?
[20:11] ---
    This is my...
[20:14] ---
    Quite an amazing move.
[20:16] ---
    It even surpassed my Raijin Thunder.
[20:19] ---
    Mr. Tiger.
[20:21] ---
    You've gotten strong, Riku.
[20:23] ---
    Was I able to repay the kindness?
[20:26] ---
    Huh? Not at all.
[20:30] ---
    Your Gunpla's ruined from
    the backlash of the special move.
[20:33] ---
    You didn't adjust your machine for that.
[20:36] ---
    You're still not there yet.
[20:38] ---
    Fix your Gunpla...
[20:44] ---
    ...and start over!
[20:47] ---
    We have a winner!
    Tigerwolf of Toraburyu!
[20:53] ---
    I beat him soundly!
[20:56] ---
    Th-That was terrible!
[20:58] ---
    Riku's machine couldn't move.
[21:01] ---
    Mr. Tiger...
[21:02] ---
    How childish.
[21:04] ---
    It was a nice fight.
[21:14] ---
    This is part of battle as well.
[21:16] ---
    Well, I guess you could say...
[21:19] ---
    ...it's just like him.
[21:23] ---
    I am the strongest of all!
[21:33] ---
    I can't believe you thought of
    that special move in mid-showdown.
[21:37] ---
    Special moves have variations.
[21:41] ---
    I got the idea from your words.
[21:44] ---
    But my machine couldn't handle
    the special move.
[21:48] ---
    Then you know what to do.
[21:51] ---
    Yes. I'll fix my Gunpla.
[21:53] ---
    And I'll challenge you again!
[21:56] ---
    I'll keep fighting you until I win.
[21:59] ---
    So don't run away.
[22:09] ---
    What's so funny?
[22:13] ---
    Riku...
[22:15] ---
    You're just like me.
[23:50] ---
    Game Master.
[23:52] ---
    What is it?
[23:53] ---
    About the bug that's been occurring.
[23:56] ---
    There's a trend in the outbreak points.
[23:59] ---
    And the points shift
    depending on the time slot.
[24:03] ---
    The bug is moving...?
[24:11] ---
    Mr. Tiger was really strong.
[24:13] ---
    Yeah. Now I realise
    I still have a long way to go.
[24:17] ---
    Alright. Yukki!
[24:18] ---
    To get even stronger,
    let's go for more tra--
[24:20] ---
    - Wait a second!
    - Momo?!
[24:22] ---
    Don't you remember
    what Magee said?
[24:23] ---
    Battle isn't the only fun in GBN!
[24:26] ---
    And so...
[24:28] ---
    I'm entering this girls-only event!
[24:30] ---
    Somehow I'm joining this event too.
[24:33] ---
    - Nanami?!
    - Nanami?!
[24:34] ---
    Next episode, Nadeshiko-athlon.
[24:36] ---
    My vehicle can be vicious!
