[00:00] ---
    A girls-only event?
[00:02] ---
    Yeah! You should join in, Nanami.
[00:05] ---
    Miss Ayame, Sarah,
    and I are all entering.
[00:08] ---
    But I've never played Gunpla Battle.
[00:11] ---
    Oh, it's not a Gunpla Battle.
    It's a race event for female Divers.
[00:15] ---
    It is?
[00:17] ---
    It's sponsored by the foreign brand
    Sazameth and other women's brands.
[00:21] ---
    Sazameth? That's amazing!
[00:24] ---
    It's one of the pre-events
    for the Raid Battle.
[00:27] ---
    It looks fun, and it'd be
    even livelier with you in it.
[00:32] ---
    It seems they want to make things
    more entertaining for female users.
[00:36] ---
    A lot of female Divers
    are talking about it.
[00:39] ---
    The winner will be selected
    as the GBN image girl.
[00:43] ---
    Image girl?
[00:47] ---
    Hey Koichi, why didn't you
    tell me about this?
[00:51] ---
    - You're...
    - I'll do it.
[00:53] ---
    I'm entering!
[00:55] ---
    As a Gundam Base staffer,
    I want to liven things up,
[00:58] ---
    and meet Sarah too.
[01:00] ---
    Plus, I'm perfect for
    the Gunpla Battle image girl.
[01:04] ---
    Really?
[01:06] ---
    I look better from this angle.
    Like this.
[01:09] ---
    Thanks for supporting GBN.
[01:12] ---
    - Acting like they already won...
    - Acting like they already won...
[02:47] ---
    "Nadeshiko-athlon"
[02:56] ---
    There're more contestants
    than I expected.
[02:58] ---
    I saw Kanari and Stea earlier.
[03:01] ---
    Chat Noir Neo is here too.
    They're really pumped up.
[03:04] ---
    I can't lose!
[03:06] ---
    Wow, I love it.
[03:09] ---
    So this is GBN!
[03:13] ---
    You look adorable!
[03:14] ---
    Thanks, Momo.
[03:16] ---
    Looks cool, like a
    Federation Forces pilot suit.
[03:19] ---
    What's your Diver name?
[03:21] ---
    It's Nami. Hope you like it.
[03:24] ---
    Yeah. Nice name.
[03:26] ---
    - You must be Sarah.
    - Yes.
[03:29] ---
    You're so cute!
[03:30] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[03:32] ---
    Nice to meet you too.
[03:37] ---
    Oh, the vice-captain
    of the champ's force.
[03:40] ---
    Trying to be an image girl?
[03:42] ---
    I'm not interested in that.
[03:44] ---
    But I'm going to win anyway.
[03:48] ---
    This is about my pride.
[03:54] ---
    Maybe it looks too childish.
[04:00] ---
    The Nadeshiko-athlon.
[04:02] ---
    The winner be selected as
    the GBN image girl.
[04:06] ---
    - That's not for me...
    - Oh, Miss Emilia.
[04:12] ---
    Miss Emilia, things like that
    don't really suit you.
[04:15] ---
    Hey, let's go.
[04:17] ---
    OK.
[04:18] ---
    See you, Miss Emilia.
[04:20] ---
    Miss Emilia, things like that
    don't really suit you.
[04:23] ---
    Don't really suit you...
[04:30] ---
    Yes, my pride is at stake here.
[04:33] ---
    I don't really know what this is,
    but I'm going to win.
[04:38] ---
    You want to be
    the image girl that badly?
[04:41] ---
    Of course not. I'm just killing time.
[04:44] ---
    But since it's a festival,
    Hyakki's Rose will be going all out.
[04:50] ---
    You'll be a good pacesetter.
[04:54] ---
    I could be if you kept up with me.
[04:59] ---
    Wow, it's packed already.
[05:01] ---
    Riku, Yukki, Ko!
[05:04] ---
    Over here!
[05:07] ---
    You saved us. Thanks, Magee.
[05:10] ---
    There're so many people here.
[05:12] ---
    Everybody loves a fun event.
[05:15] ---
    You bet. It even made Nami
    register as a Diver.
[05:18] ---
    She'll probably only play it today.
[05:21] ---
    Oh, it's starting.
[05:22] ---
    The 1st GBN Nadeshiko-athlon
    Sazameth Cup!
[05:26] ---
    It's a lovely group of female Divers,
    from casual to hardcore players.
[05:32] ---
    We have the chairman of Sazameth,
    our sponsor, as a special guest.
[05:37] ---
    You're so cool, Chairman!
[05:39] ---
    Give us something!
[05:41] ---
    - Chairman! Chairman!
    - Chairman! Chairman!
[05:43] ---
    I appreciate your applause.
[05:45] ---
    Thank you for taking the time today to
[05:48] ---
    participate in
    the Nadeshiko-athlon Sazameth Cup.
[05:52] ---
    As a small token of my appreciation,
[05:56] ---
    all participants will receive
    commemorative Sazameth earrings.
[06:01] ---
    - Yes!
    - You're awesome, Chairman!
[06:03] ---
    - Chairman! Chairman!
    - Chairman! Chairman!
[06:05] ---
    I would now like to begin the race.
[06:08] ---
    It's finally starting.
[06:10] ---
    Good luck, Nami!
[06:20] ---
    Oh gosh...
[06:22] ---
    Nami, it's alright.
[06:24] ---
    Divers don't feel pain
    unless they think they do.
[06:27] ---
    Oh, you're right.
[06:29] ---
    I believe it doesn't hurt.
[06:31] ---
    You can do it!
[06:33] ---
    Alright!
[06:35] ---
    The Nadeshiko-athlon has now begun!
[06:38] ---
    For those in the stadium, we'll show
    live video from onsite cameras.
[06:42] ---
    They'll compete in 3 ways: trail run,
    swimming, and a Wappa road race.
[06:47] ---
    Besides, the players must clear events
    at 3 checkpoints and head for the goal.
[06:51] ---
    There's also a hidden setup
    in this course that
[06:54] ---
    will allow you to get rare items.
[06:57] ---
    You can do it!
[06:58] ---
    First is the trail run.
[07:00] ---
    Emilia of Force Avalon
    and Rose of Hyakki have jumped ahead.
[07:04] ---
    They usually fight
    fierce Gunpla Battles,
[07:07] ---
    but they're relaxed today
    to enjoy this festival...
[07:10] ---
    Or not!
[07:12] ---
    They're dashing in earnest to win!
[07:14] ---
    They're running like sprinters!
[07:17] ---
    Yeah, Rose!
[07:18] ---
    - Go!
    - Don't lose!
[07:20] ---
    Huh? They're going too fast!
[07:22] ---
    But it'll be bad
    if they lead too much.
[07:26] ---
    We're going to go for the win.
[07:28] ---
    Don't overdo it. Have fun.
[07:29] ---
    Alright, good luck!
[07:32] ---
    I was wallowing in the festive mood,
    but some people are serious.
[07:36] ---
    I'm so far from being the image girl.
[07:39] ---
    What's an image girl?
[07:42] ---
    You entered without even knowing?
[07:44] ---
    But you all looked thrilled about it.
[07:47] ---
    I see.
[07:48] ---
    The leading group
    is approaching the 1st checkpoint.
[07:52] ---
    You're not bad,
    keeping up with me like this.
[07:56] ---
    But I can't lose.
    I'm too embarrassed to say, but...
[08:01] ---
    I sort of want to be the image girl.
[08:07] ---
    Losing your breath already?
    Well, I'll be going now.
[08:11] ---
    A race is like Gunpla Battle.
[08:13] ---
    There's a strategy to it.
[08:15] ---
    The first one to arrive
    at the 1st checkpoint is Rose.
[08:19] ---
    Let's see what awaits.
[08:22] ---
    What...!?
[08:23] ---
    These are...Gunpla!
[08:25] ---
    I have to build here?
[08:27] ---
    Exactly!
[08:29] ---
    The 1st checkpoint is Gunpla building.
[08:32] ---
    Complete whichever one you like,
    and you'll clear the checkpoint.
[08:35] ---
    By the way, the Gunpla you build here
[08:37] ---
    can be displayed in your My Room
    or Force Nest as an accessory item.
[08:41] ---
    Oh, I can take it home?
    Well in that case...
[08:49] ---
    I've always wanted this one.
[09:03] ---
    A Haro?
[09:05] ---
    You get to keep it,
    so why not choose something better?
[09:11] ---
    Shoot!
[09:12] ---
    This is going to
    take so long to build!
[09:16] ---
    I let my desire take over
    and cloud my judgment.
[09:22] ---
    Despite being under
    extreme conditions,
[09:23] ---
    she calmly chose
    an easy-to-build Haro.
[09:27] ---
    Kyoya Kujo's vice-captain
    should be that good.
[09:31] ---
    An average person like me could never
    make such a strategic decision...
[09:35] ---
    - Any Haros?
    - Is there a Haro?
[09:37] ---
    Or a Petit'gguy.
[09:39] ---
    A Ball will do.
    Something easy to build.
[09:42] ---
    E-Everyone figured it out!?
[09:45] ---
    That's right! You should choose a kit
    with fewer parts to get going sooner.
[09:50] ---
    Rose screwed up.
[09:51] ---
    She simply chose one she wanted.
[09:53] ---
    I can understand.
[09:55] ---
    But I can't give up here.
[09:59] ---
    I'll do it. For the pride of Hyakki!
[10:02] ---
    Gunpla building during a race?
[10:05] ---
    I like the administration's thinking.
[10:07] ---
    I'm done!
[10:10] ---
    I'll be going, Miss Rose.
[10:15] ---
    Don't snap the parts off by hand!
[10:19] ---
    Yes, you're right.
[10:21] ---
    That's right. Snip it with nippers.
[10:24] ---
    No, no! You need to double cut.
[10:27] ---
    Wh-What's a double cut?
[10:29] ---
    I'm done!
[10:30] ---
    You cut it here once,
[10:32] ---
    - ...then trim off any excess.
    - Nice people finish last.
[10:34] ---
    By doing so, you can prevent
    whitening of the parts.
[10:36] ---
    Don't cut them all out!
    You won't know which is which.
[10:42] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[10:43] ---
    - Save their original color...
    - Left and right parts differ...
[10:46] ---
    - I'm done!
    - I'm done!
[10:49] ---
    Momo passed the checkpoint first,
    followed by Ayame.
[10:54] ---
    They move on to
    the 2nd race, swimming.
[10:57] ---
    Currently in first place
    is Momo from Build Divers.
[11:01] ---
    Wait! Huge splashes
    are gaining fast from behind.
[11:04] ---
    Who could it be?
[11:06] ---
    Emilia and Rose are rushing to recover
    for their loss at the 1st checkpoint.
[11:11] ---
    They've passed everyone
    to take the lead again.
[11:14] ---
    The ocean feels so nice.
[11:17] ---
    As expected, Emilia and Rose have
    reached the 2nd checkpoint first.
[11:22] ---
    This is...
[11:23] ---
    The 2nd checkpoint is
    a Gunstagram contest.
[11:27] ---
    Using these Gunpla and props,
[11:29] ---
    take fun pics in any way you desire.
[11:32] ---
    You can use as many items as you like.
[11:35] ---
    Upload the pic to Gunstagram.
[11:37] ---
    Once you gather 100 Greats,
    you clear the checkpoint.
[11:41] ---
    Um, there's no Gunpla Battle but...
[11:44] ---
    It's a battle with Gunpla after all.
[11:47] ---
    I like the administration's thinking.
[11:52] ---
    I get it.
[11:55] ---
    I'm first!
[11:57] ---
    Then I'll...
[11:59] ---
    do this!
[12:16] ---
    Looks delicious!
[12:17] ---
    This is another way of enjoying it.
[12:28] ---
    If I put this here...
[12:30] ---
    isn't it nice?
[12:32] ---
    Unexpectedly classic?
[12:33] ---
    Nami may have some talent.
[12:35] ---
    Well, she is my little sister, after all.
[12:44] ---
    Sarah, this is great.
[12:46] ---
    They looked like
    they wanted to be together.
[12:49] ---
    This is classic too...
[12:51] ---
    That's our Sarah.
[12:52] ---
    Isn't this fun?
[12:54] ---
    Yeah.
[12:58] ---
    Bug detected in the Maurisia Area,
    near the Nadeshiko-athlon venue.
[13:02] ---
    This is...
[13:07] ---
    Huh? The weather's turning bad.
[13:13] ---
    Sarah? What's wrong?
[13:17] ---
    A call for help.
[13:20] ---
    A call for help? From who?
[13:22] ---
    I don't know.
[13:25] ---
    OK, then let's check it out.
[13:33] ---
    Are you OK?
[13:37] ---
    Ready?
[13:39] ---
    Pull! Pull!
[13:46] ---
    It's saying thank you.
[13:48] ---
    No problem. We should all
    help each other, right?
[13:55] ---
    Huh? What's that?
[14:02] ---
    I got some new items.
[14:04] ---
    Thanks!
[14:06] ---
    We're going back to the race now.
[14:08] ---
    Bye-bye!
[14:10] ---
    Coming in first
    to the 3rd checkpoint are...
[14:13] ---
    as expected, Emilia and Rose!
[14:16] ---
    What do we do now?
[14:19] ---
    I'm sure we choose one
    and do something,
[14:22] ---
    so it's best to pick a strong one.
[14:27] ---
    Yes, you may be right.
[14:36] ---
    The 3rd checkpoint is
    a Gunpla puppet sumo match.
[14:41] ---
    Puppet sumo?
[14:43] ---
    Contestants, please set
    your Gunpla on the mini sumo ring.
[14:47] ---
    Get ready. Please set your Gunpla.
[14:56] ---
    Alright, this will be a cinch!
[14:58] ---
    A huge difference in size.
[15:01] ---
    Ready...
[15:03] ---
    Fight!
[15:09] ---
    A Gunpla that can't stand on its own
    never wins a sumo match.
[15:12] ---
    You made the wrong choice again.
[15:14] ---
    You should've told me
    it was puppet sumo!
[15:17] ---
    Please battle me.
[15:20] ---
    I ask for a match.
[15:22] ---
    - Please fight me!
    - Please fight me!
[15:25] ---
    I won!
[15:28] ---
    E-Everyone's exploiting her.
[15:30] ---
    I wish she could just pilot and fight.
[15:33] ---
    Not yet. If I keep trying, the Goddess
    of Victory will smile upon me.
[15:37] ---
    - Please fight me.
    - Please fight me.
[15:38] ---
    No way I can win!
[15:46] ---
    The weather really isn't looking good.
[15:50] ---
    Is that the next...?
[15:52] ---
    Now, the final checkpoint.
[16:01] ---
    Huh? We lost the connection.
[16:03] ---
    What happened?
[16:06] ---
    Error in the Maurisia Area.
[16:08] ---
    It seems there's a network failure.
[16:10] ---
    Investigate immediately
    and get it back up.
[16:12] ---
    Yes, sir.
[16:13] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[16:15] ---
    That was scary.
[16:17] ---
    But...
[16:18] ---
    The machines for the race...
[16:20] ---
    Huh? What are we going to do?
[16:27] ---
    I got lucky.
[16:28] ---
    The Psycho Gundam broke the ring,
    so the sumo event was cancelled.
[16:33] ---
    I'll make a comeback here.
[16:37] ---
    What are they doing?
[16:41] ---
    What's going on?
[16:42] ---
    That lightning destroyed
    the machines for the road race.
[16:46] ---
    I see how it is.
[16:49] ---
    The administration planned it well.
[16:52] ---
    This dilemma...
[16:53] ---
    They want us to
    blaze a trail ourselves.
[16:58] ---
    Blaze a trail ourselves?
[17:00] ---
    Yeah. It started with
    Gunpla building, funny pictures,
[17:06] ---
    then the puppet sumo, which you
    could call the origin of battle.
[17:09] ---
    And finally...
[17:12] ---
    They want us to
    pilot Gunpla and settle things.
[17:16] ---
    I see. So that's the deal.
[17:19] ---
    The sky is turbulent,
    but that's how life is.
[17:22] ---
    There are ups and downs.
[17:25] ---
    When you overcome them all,
    you achieve victory.
[17:28] ---
    Let's show them
    what we women are made of!
[17:35] ---
    Nami, Sarah, get in.
[17:38] ---
    I want to build too.
[17:42] ---
    I want to try building.
[17:44] ---
    I want to build my own machine
    like the others, and pilot it.
[17:48] ---
    But we can't build here...
[17:51] ---
    Wait...there are plenty of parts.
[17:54] ---
    But they're all junk parts.
[17:56] ---
    You couldn't build anything good
    by collecting all that.
[18:00] ---
    It's not like we have
    the legendary Miracle Nippers.
[18:03] ---
    Miracle Nippers?
[18:05] ---
    Also called the Nipper Javelin.
[18:08] ---
    One snip with this magical item,
    and you can create any part.
[18:12] ---
    But you won't just conveniently
    come across such a super rare item...
[18:16] ---
    - Is it this?
    - Yes!
[18:18] ---
    Why do you have it?
[18:20] ---
    We got it from someone
    we helped in the mountains.
[18:24] ---
    Oh yeah, they did say that
    there was a rare item somewhere.
[18:27] ---
    Wow!
[18:28] ---
    Well, let's collect parts then.
[18:30] ---
    You'll help?
[18:32] ---
    Of course!
[18:33] ---
    We should all help each other, right?
[18:35] ---
    Thank you!
[18:49] ---
    We are working to
    repair communications.
[18:51] ---
    Please wait just a little longer.
[18:53] ---
    I wonder if everyone's alright.
[18:55] ---
    What are you doing? Get it back up!
[18:58] ---
    The way this bug is spreading...
[19:01] ---
    It's similar to the Break Decals.
[19:09] ---
    Alright.
[19:10] ---
    Ready, go!
[19:18] ---
    The video.
[19:20] ---
    Huh? Is this suppposed to be the race?
[19:36] ---
    Why is it like that?
[19:37] ---
    I don't understand,
    but just do your best!
[19:40] ---
    - Don't lose!
    - Go!
[19:52] ---
    Hang on tight, Sarah.
[19:54] ---
    OK.
[20:01] ---
    A mode change?
[20:02] ---
    Nami, you're so cool!
[20:11] ---
    Watch out!
[20:27] ---
    They're finally nearing the goal.
[20:29] ---
    Who will be the first
    to cross the finish line?
[20:38] ---
    Go!
[20:49] ---
    Everyone made it almost simultaneously.
[20:51] ---
    Let's check once again
    who the winner is.
[20:56] ---
    Unbelievable!
    They all finished at the same time.
[20:59] ---
    Everyone's in first place.
[21:01] ---
    - Yes!
    - Yes!
[21:03] ---
    However!
[21:04] ---
    It's against the rules to
    ride a Gunpla or original bike.
[21:08] ---
    So everyone is disqualified!
[21:10] ---
    - What? No way!
    - What? No way!
[21:12] ---
    Hey! This is your fault for
    saying something so irresponsible.
[21:16] ---
    I simply said my thoughts.
[21:19] ---
    - Take it easy...
    - But on second thought...
[21:21] ---
    Due to the administration's
    network failure
[21:23] ---
    and the chairman's earnest request,
[21:26] ---
    all contestants who
    reached the goal will be winners!
[21:30] ---
    - Yay!
    - Yay!
[21:31] ---
    - Yay!
    - Congrats!
[21:34] ---
    Congratulations!
[21:36] ---
    - Chairman! Chairman!
    - Chairman! Chairman!
[21:38] ---
    A lot happened,
[21:39] ---
    but these are the winners
    of the 1st Nadeshiko-athlon.
[21:47] ---
    It ended up being a poster
    with everyone on it.
[21:50] ---
    Well, it's a good thing
    since they're all pretty girls.
[21:53] ---
    You say that yourself?
[21:54] ---
    - Let's go again, Nanami.
    - Yeah.
[21:57] ---
    Next time, I want to pilot
    my own Gunpla like everyone else.
[23:22] ---
    Oh, Miss Emilia.
[23:24] ---
    What do you think? I...
[23:25] ---
    Perfect timing.
    I wanted to give you something.
[23:29] ---
    Here.
[23:32] ---
    I was thinking the other day,
[23:34] ---
    a more mature earring would
    suit you better than a cute one.
[23:37] ---
    I had some extra points,
    so I got these.
[23:41] ---
    O-Oh, really?
[23:43] ---
    Thanks.
[23:45] ---
    Wait, hold on.
[23:46] ---
    Did I just have the wrong idea?
[23:50] ---
    By the way, what's that?
[23:52] ---
    Image girl?
[23:54] ---
    Oh, you're in it.
[23:55] ---
    N-No, this is...
[23:57] ---
    So you are into this kind of stuff.
[23:59] ---
    Th-That's not it.
[24:01] ---
    Those earrings too...
[24:02] ---
    I said it's not like that!
[24:04] ---
    No need to be embarrassed.
[24:07] ---
    Oh my, what a team.
[24:11] ---
    That was fun!
[24:13] ---
    - Really?
    - Great!
[24:14] ---
    I never knew that there're
    so many ways to enjoy Gunpla.
[24:17] ---
    Now I'm getting curious
    about Gunpla Battle!
[24:19] ---
    Hear that, Riku?
[24:20] ---
    I can't believe
    we're hearing this from Nami...
[24:23] ---
    So! Please teach me more, you two!
[24:26] ---
    Hear that, Riku!?
[24:27] ---
    I can't believe
    we actually get to teach somebody!
[24:30] ---
    By the way...
[24:31] ---
    What's that Gunpla and that bird?
[24:34] ---
    Next episode, The Truth.
[24:36] ---
    What's Sarah's secret...?
