[00:01] ---
    You still haven't formed your force?
[00:04] ---
    You're welcome to join mine anytime.
[00:06] ---
    Trying to steal a march on me,
    you darned fox?
[00:09] ---
    These kids are my disciples.
[00:12] ---
    I discovered them first.
[00:14] ---
    I suggest you
    cut ties with him right away.
[00:17] ---
    You might catch his short-sighted thinking.
[00:19] ---
    You pickin' a fight with me?
[00:21] ---
    Oh, you actually understood that?
[00:23] ---
    I'll knock you out.
[00:24] ---
    Easy, easy.
[00:26] ---
    Anyway, it's your fault for not
    starting your own force right away.
[00:30] ---
    B-But...
[00:32] ---
    I see, your scouting isn't going well.
[00:36] ---
    You want to get strong on your own,
[00:38] ---
    but also want someone experienced.
[00:41] ---
    I can understand that.
[00:43] ---
    Oh, umm...
[00:44] ---
    Scouting?
[00:46] ---
    No need to hide it.
[00:48] ---
    Her Kapool is a rental,
    but it's built very well.
[00:53] ---
    The person who made this
    is quite a skilled Gunpla builder.
[00:57] ---
    With someone like that in your force,
    its overall strength will skyrocket.
[01:02] ---
    It's a natural choice
    if you're aiming for the top.
[02:37] ---
    (Past and Future)
[02:42] ---
    Huh? Who built the Kapool?
[02:45] ---
    Yeah, could you tell us?
[02:47] ---
    Sure, that's fine, but...
[02:50] ---
    What? Is there a problem?
[02:53] ---
    No, it's not that...
[02:54] ---
    Then what is it?
[02:56] ---
    The person who built that
    is my big brother.
[03:00] ---
    Your brother?
[03:18] ---
    Yes, who is it?
[03:20] ---
    Nice to meet you. I'm Riku Mikami.
[03:23] ---
    Yukio Hidaka.
[03:24] ---
    Momoka Yashiro.
[03:29] ---
    You're Mr. Koichi Nanase,
    the builder of this Kapool, right?
[03:32] ---
    Yes...that's me.
[03:34] ---
    We'd like you to join our force.
[03:38] ---
    Um, a force is a team
    you can form in GBN.
[03:42] ---
    And GBN stands for
    Gunpla Battle Nexus Online.
[03:45] ---
    You're getting too worked up.
[03:48] ---
    Anyway, in GBN, you build your own--
[03:52] ---
    I know.
[03:53] ---
    It's pretty famous.
[03:55] ---
    - Then...
    - Sorry.
[03:57] ---
    But I can't join.
[04:00] ---
    I've retired from Gunpla Battle.
[04:02] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:04] ---
    Oh no...
[04:05] ---
    This might be a challenge.
[04:17] ---
    Good morning.
[04:24] ---
    Please let us talk to you again.
[04:30] ---
    We want to learn from you.
[04:32] ---
    Just hear us out.
[04:34] ---
    I'm begging you, Mr. Koichi.
[04:38] ---
    Hello?
[04:40] ---
    What's with those kids?
[04:41] ---
    This is your fault,
    so come and take them away.
[04:46] ---
    - We're sorry.
    - We're sorry.
[04:48] ---
    It's OK. I know that
    your intentions were good.
[04:53] ---
    But you can't go too far, alright?
[04:55] ---
    - Yes.
    - Yes.
[05:02] ---
    If you look closely, you can see
    every Gunpla is built flawlessly.
[05:07] ---
    He's such a great builder. So why quit?
[05:10] ---
    Seriously?
[05:12] ---
    Your brother was the famous K-1?
[05:16] ---
    Yeah, I guess that's
    what they used to call him.
[05:19] ---
    What, he was that famous?
[05:21] ---
    Super famous!
[05:23] ---
    3rd in the
    Japanese Gunpla Championship.
[05:26] ---
    8th in the World Tournament!
[05:28] ---
    People said he might
    soon be number one in the world.
[05:33] ---
    But he suddenly stopped
    participating four years ago.
[05:37] ---
    Lately, you rarely even hear his name.
[05:40] ---
    So he was Nanami's brother...
[05:44] ---
    But if he's that good...
[05:48] ---
    I've retired from Gunpla Battle.
[05:51] ---
    Why did he quit Gunpla Battle?
[05:56] ---
    Heads up, Riku!
[06:03] ---
    What are you doing?
[06:05] ---
    I came all the way here to train you guys.
[06:09] ---
    Get it together!
[06:10] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:12] ---
    No worries, Riku.
[06:14] ---
    What the heck are you doing here?
[06:16] ---
    You weren't invited.
[06:18] ---
    I would've never guessed that
    K-1 made that Kapool.
[06:21] ---
    Are you listening?!
[06:22] ---
    Mr. Shahry, you know him?
[06:24] ---
    I've never met him in person.
[06:26] ---
    But he was diligent, delicate,
    and had a unique worldview.
[06:29] ---
    I found him such a brilliant builder.
[06:32] ---
    But no match for me, I'm afraid.
[06:34] ---
    He doesn't even hesitate to brag...
[06:38] ---
    So if a great man like that
    made the decision to quit,
[06:43] ---
    there's probably no bringing him back.
[06:46] ---
    Yeah, but...
[06:48] ---
    But what?
[06:49] ---
    I don't really know,
    but I want to do something.
[06:52] ---
    I'm not going to drag him
    into our force. It's just...
[06:57] ---
    Don't worry.
[07:01] ---
    He put his heart into
    making that Kapool.
[07:04] ---
    He has a very pure, caring heart.
[07:09] ---
    So don't worry.
[07:11] ---
    He'll understand your heart too, Riku.
[07:16] ---
    Yeah, thanks!
[07:17] ---
    Either way...
[07:19] ---
    there must be a reason
    why he's so stubborn.
[07:22] ---
    Why don't you try looking into that?
[07:25] ---
    I will.
[07:29] ---
    The reason my brother
    quit Gunpla Battle?
[07:32] ---
    Yes.
[07:34] ---
    I don't know the details,
[07:36] ---
    and it's not exactly an amusing story.
[07:39] ---
    Even so...
[07:44] ---
    Do you know what GP Duel is?
[07:46] ---
    Yeah, it's called GPD.
[07:49] ---
    An older battle machine where you
    fight by controlling actual Gunpla.
[07:54] ---
    Right.
[07:55] ---
    Until about 4 years ago,
    he played Gunpla Battle with that.
[07:59] ---
    He had a team, like a force in GBN.
[08:03] ---
    He seemed to be having fun every day,
    just like you guys.
[08:07] ---
    But as the scene shifted from
    GPD to GBN,
[08:12] ---
    the team members started
    to quit one after another.
[08:16] ---
    Till it was just my brother left.
[08:20] ---
    He got really depressed,
[08:23] ---
    and rarely left the house.
[08:25] ---
    I couldn't let things go on like that,
[08:28] ---
    so I had him build Gunpla
    for the display booth.
[08:32] ---
    He says he's not enthused,
    but he still does a good job.
[08:37] ---
    He meets deadlines, too,
    so I figured he must be OK.
[08:40] ---
    You sound pretty carefree.
[08:44] ---
    I guess that's how Nanami always is.
[08:47] ---
    See? I told you
    it wouldn't be an amusing story.
[09:03] ---
    H-Hold on.
[09:05] ---
    Why, you guys?
[09:07] ---
    You don't have to quit.
[09:10] ---
    Tsukasa!
[09:11] ---
    Don't you get it? Times have changed.
[09:14] ---
    GPD is finished.
[09:19] ---
    You can't just simply continue
    doing what you love?
[10:02] ---
    Oh yeah, I'm out of instant glue.
[10:06] ---
    Thank you.
[10:16] ---
    You guys again?
[10:18] ---
    - We're sorry about before.
    - We're sorry about before.
[10:21] ---
    We'll leave if you want us to.
[10:26] ---
    It'd be a waste of talent to quit.
[10:29] ---
    You're so good.
[10:31] ---
    It's none of your business.
[10:33] ---
    Mr. Shahry said
    your Gunpla are great.
[10:38] ---
    Oh, Mr. Shahry is considered to be
    one of GBN's top builders right now--
[10:43] ---
    I know.
[10:45] ---
    He also said that
[10:47] ---
    you're a brilliant builder
    with your own unique worldview.
[10:53] ---
    - And so...
    - I'm sorry.
[10:56] ---
    But I'm done with Gunpla Battle.
[11:02] ---
    Maybe there's no chance.
[11:04] ---
    You might be right.
[11:14] ---
    The great Shahryar was praising me?
[11:18] ---
    Back in the day...
[11:21] ---
    I think I set up an account
    when I tried it out.
[11:26] ---
    It can't still be active.
[11:45] ---
    Wow, this place is huge.
[11:47] ---
    Was it like this before?
[11:54] ---
    You're the one who built Momo's Kapool.
[11:59] ---
    Isn't Riku with you?
[12:01] ---
    Wh-Who is this girl?
[12:03] ---
    A friend of theirs?
[12:04] ---
    Oh, Sarah.
[12:07] ---
    Hello.
[12:08] ---
    Sha...Sha...
[12:10] ---
    - Shahryar! It's really him.
    - What's up?
[12:12] ---
    - And there's Tigerwolf and Magee.
    - Nothing.
[12:16] ---
    Oh my, who's this gentleman here?
[12:18] ---
    Oh, umm...
[12:19] ---
    Are you the guy who's
    supposed to join Riku's force?
[12:22] ---
    Yes.
[12:25] ---
    Darn. He's steadily
    securing members, huh?
[12:29] ---
    Tell Riku that he's
    always welcome to join my force.
[12:34] ---
    It's not often that I personally
    ask someone to do so.
[12:38] ---
    Same with my force.
[12:40] ---
    We can better each other.
    It'll be a win-win relationship.
[12:45] ---
    You're not inviting them, Magee?
[12:47] ---
    If I had any openings in my force,
    I'd definitely ask.
[12:51] ---
    I mean, those kids are very cute!
[12:54] ---
    That again?
[12:55] ---
    But I also wish to fight them
    once they're full-fledged.
[13:00] ---
    Yeah.
[13:02] ---
    - Don't chime in with me.
    - What?
[13:03] ---
    - Shush.
    - Darn you!
[13:06] ---
    You sure do get along.
[13:08] ---
    - No we don't!
    - We do not!
[13:10] ---
    So what's your favorite Gunpla?
[13:12] ---
    Favorite Gundam series?
[13:15] ---
    I'm sorry. I need to go!
[13:20] ---
    What's with him?
[13:21] ---
    It's cute how shy he is!
[13:31] ---
    Three famous players
    are so excited about those kids.
[13:37] ---
    Just what sort of players are they?
[13:46] ---
    It should still be
    somewhere around here.
[13:53] ---
    This brings back memories!
[13:55] ---
    A GPD machine.
[14:02] ---
    Have you ever played?
[14:04] ---
    No, I've only seen it.
    Never actually played.
[14:07] ---
    No way it's going to work, right?
[14:09] ---
    But there seems to be power.
[14:14] ---
    Those are Gunpla my brother built
    for his teammates.
[14:20] ---
    Ever since they all quit,
[14:22] ---
    they've been sitting there.
[14:28] ---
    It turned on!
[14:30] ---
    What'd you do?
[14:31] ---
    I didn't do anything!
[14:38] ---
    Could this be old battle data?
[14:42] ---
    It is.
[14:44] ---
    I'm positive. I've seen this before.
[14:47] ---
    That's a Gunpla my brother was building.
[14:58] ---
    How's it working?
[14:59] ---
    Not bad at all.
[15:00] ---
    It'd be even better if
    the shoulders moved more flexibly.
[15:04] ---
    - Got it. I'll adjust it right away.
    - It's Koichi's voice.
[15:51] ---
    Too light on the barrage!
    What are you doing?!
[15:54] ---
    You just wanted to say that.
[15:56] ---
    Today, I can surpass even
    an avenging angel!
[16:00] ---
    Again, you just wanted to say that.
[16:11] ---
    That's it, Koichi. Keep it up.
[16:13] ---
    Thanks for the support, Tsukasa.
[16:16] ---
    The national tournament
    is coming up.
[16:19] ---
    We're going to win!
[16:21] ---
    Yeah!
[16:22] ---
    That looks so fun.
[16:24] ---
    I know!
[16:25] ---
    I want to play like that too.
[16:28] ---
    So this is how he was playing.
[16:53] ---
    Y-You're...?
[16:56] ---
    Do you love Gunpla Battle?
[17:02] ---
    Do you love Gunpla?
[17:16] ---
    Sorry.
[17:17] ---
    I need to log out soon.
[17:31] ---
    See you again.
[17:38] ---
    I think I know.
[17:40] ---
    Why I wanted to do something.
[17:45] ---
    It's not because
    I wanted him to teach us Gunpla building.
[17:51] ---
    Yukki, Momoka, can you do me a favor?
[18:13] ---
    Since when did I become unable to
[18:16] ---
    honestly say that I love something?
[18:23] ---
    Koichi.
[18:25] ---
    You have time, right? Come with me.
[18:30] ---
    What's going on?
[18:33] ---
    Come on, stop pulling me.
[18:36] ---
    Why did you bring me--
[18:38] ---
    Just look.
[18:41] ---
    This won't fit.
[18:43] ---
    That's a Hizack.
[18:45] ---
    This is the Zaku II.
[18:46] ---
    The peg's completely broken.
[18:50] ---
    - Is it stuck in the hole?
    - Yeah.
[18:52] ---
    Then drill a hole
    in the broken side with a pin vise,
[18:55] ---
    and pull it out after
    gluing it to a wire.
[18:59] ---
    Thanks.
[19:01] ---
    This could be damage
    from a battle between actual Gunpla.
[19:06] ---
    They're going to fix
    all the Gunpla you left behind.
[19:10] ---
    Why would they do that?
[19:12] ---
    Even if we do this,
[19:14] ---
    it doesn't mean he'll join our force.
[19:17] ---
    Yeah, but this is like a fun puzzle.
[19:21] ---
    After watching the battle footage
    left in GPD, I thought...
[19:26] ---
    Those people loved Gunpla.
[19:29] ---
    And they loved Gunpla Battle.
[19:32] ---
    Just like us now.
[19:38] ---
    It's OK if he doesn't join.
[19:41] ---
    If he's still building Gunpla,
    that's proof that he loves it.
[19:46] ---
    So I want to help him
    recover those old feelings.
[19:57] ---
    You mean you want him
    to return to Gunpla Battle?
[20:01] ---
    It's not that.
[20:03] ---
    I just want him to love what he loves.
[20:06] ---
    I don't get it.
[20:08] ---
    But that's how you are, Riku.
[20:12] ---
    I wonder what this part is for.
[20:15] ---
    Gundam Spiegel's waist, I say it is!
[20:18] ---
    Why talk like that?
[20:20] ---
    You're so weird.
[20:21] ---
    Oh Riku, maybe this is it.
[20:23] ---
    Thanks.
[20:35] ---
    - We're sorry!
    - We're sorry!
[20:37] ---
    We never asked permission.
[20:38] ---
    But we were fixing--
[20:40] ---
    There's one condition.
[20:42] ---
    I'll teach you what you
    don't know about building.
[20:45] ---
    I'll help you too.
[20:47] ---
    - However...!
    - Yes!
[20:49] ---
    You yourselves must build
    the Gunpla you're going to use.
[20:52] ---
    That's my condition
    for joining your force.
[20:58] ---
    You mean...
[21:02] ---
    Yes!
[21:03] ---
    This is great!
[21:05] ---
    We did it, Riku!
[21:08] ---
    We did it.
[21:09] ---
    - Yay!
    - Yay!
[21:12] ---
    Then will you help me?
[21:14] ---
    Me too.
[21:15] ---
    Wait, hold on.
[21:17] ---
    Me three!
[21:19] ---
    I said hold on.
[21:24] ---
    It's you again.
[21:26] ---
    Hello.
[21:27] ---
    H-Hello...
[21:29] ---
    You know each other?
[21:30] ---
    Yes.
[21:31] ---
    Sort of...
[21:33] ---
    Hey, Riku!
[21:34] ---
    Yeah, coming.
[21:36] ---
    I will now register your force.
[21:39] ---
    Please enter your members.
[21:48] ---
    If the information is correct,
    please press OK.
[21:51] ---
    I'm getting nervous.
[21:53] ---
    I know what you mean.
[21:54] ---
    All right, let's form our force.
[22:00] ---
    - Huh?
    - How come?
[22:02] ---
    Why isn't it working?
[22:05] ---
    This.
[22:08] ---
    I-I'm sorry. I've barely been here.
[22:11] ---
    And I've never battled here.
[22:13] ---
    What are you doing?
[22:15] ---
    You have to be at least Rank D
    to join a force.
[22:18] ---
    What a bummer!
[22:20] ---
    A good-for-nothing?
[22:25] ---
    Change of plans.
[22:27] ---
    Let's go raise Koichi's rank.
[22:29] ---
    We're not going easy on you.
[22:30] ---
    Prepare yourself.
[22:32] ---
    Y-Yes!
[22:34] ---
    I-I'm so sorry!
[24:10] ---
    We've finally formed our force!
[24:12] ---
    F-o-r-c-e f-o-r-m-e-d!
[24:17] ---
    Now we have to decide on a name.
[24:18] ---
    Also our emblem.
    We can choose whatever we like!
[24:22] ---
    Like the E.F.S.F., the Titans,
[24:24] ---
    or the Vist Foundation!
[24:25] ---
    What? That sounds so cool!
[24:27] ---
    Who will be our opponent
    in our debut battle?
[24:29] ---
    And even more important,
[24:30] ---
    there's something
    I wanna try during the battle!
[24:33] ---
    What's that?
[24:34] ---
    Next episode, Force Battle.
[24:36] ---
    Will you be our opponent...?
