**[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!
