**[00:04] ---**
They've broken through
the final defense line!
**[00:09] ---**
Launch the Gundam!
Launch the Gundam!
**[00:13] ---**
We're counting on you, Iori.
**[00:15] ---**
I've got it.
**[00:18] ---**
Sei Iori, Build Strike, here I go!
**[00:35] ---**
Zakus are coming!
But with the Gundam I made...
**[00:40] ---**
Sei, it's no good!
**[00:42] ---**
Is that you, Dad?
**[00:45] ---**
How come you're...?
**[00:46] ---**
Sei, that Gunpla you built...
**[00:52] ---**
Its arm isn't snapped in properly!
**[00:54] ---**
W-Why?!
**[01:09] ---**
It was just a dream.
**[01:12] ---**
My Gunpla!
**[01:15] ---**
I see, I fell asleep
before making its right arm.
**[01:19] ---**
Sei, please look after
the store for me.
**[01:23] ---**
Okay.
**[01:28] ---**
Colonel Rinko Iori is off to
the 08th Supermarket,
**[01:31] ---**
in order to procure supplies.
**[01:33] ---**
Supplies for Sukiyaki?
**[01:36] ---**
For vegetable stir-fry.
**[01:37] ---**
No!
**[01:38] ---**
Hmm? You're the one who said
my vegetable stir-fry is the best.
**[01:43] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[01:47] ---**
Be good to the customers.
**[01:50] ---**
What customers?
**[01:52] ---**
It's not like our store is
in front of the station.
**[01:55] ---**
Or near the shopping district.
**[01:59] ---**
Why did Dad make a
plastic model store here?
**[02:00] ---**
Iori Models
Why did Dad make a
plastic model store here?
**[02:03] ---**
Iori Models
**[02:06] ---**
It amazes me every time.
**[02:09] ---**
All these buildings have
people living in them.
**[02:13] ---**
How many times bigger
than Arian could it be?
**[02:15] ---**
Hey!
**[02:17] ---**
What are you doing there?
Get down before you get hurt!
**[02:20] ---**
It's okay, old man.
**[02:23] ---**
Who are you calling old man? I'm only 25!
**[02:26] ---**
Anyway, get down. Get down!
**[02:34] ---**
Right.
**[02:39] ---**
I've decided where to go!
**[02:41] ---**
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
**[02:48] ---**
Welcome!
**[02:51] ---**
Gundams! So many Gundams!
**[02:54] ---**
It's amazing.
**[02:56] ---**
They're well made.
**[02:59] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[03:01] ---**
I built them for display myself.
**[03:04] ---**
All of them?
**[03:06] ---**
Yes.
**[03:07] ---**
You're amazing.
**[03:09] ---**
Oh, don't.
**[03:11] ---**
If you can build them so well,
you must play Gunpla Battle too.
**[03:17] ---**
Yeah, kind of...
**[03:19] ---**
You must be good.
**[03:23] ---**
Runner-up in the 2nd Gunpla Battle
Championship World Tournament?!
**[03:28] ---**
That's wonderful!
**[03:30] ---**
That was my dad's...
**[03:35] ---**
Dad, what's this Gunpla?
**[03:40] ---**
I can't quite remember...
**[03:42] ---**
It's the Wing Gundam!
**[03:45] ---**
It can transform into a bird
for high-speed flight.
**[03:49] ---**
It's also equipped with
a large-caliber buster rifle.
**[03:53] ---**
It excels in both
firepower and mobility.
**[03:57] ---**
By the way, it's a mobile suit
that was developed by Doctor J...
**[04:01] ---**
...for an underground organization
that opposed the Alliance.
**[04:04] ---**
With the launch of Operation Meteor...
**[04:07] ---**
A-Alright, we've got it.
**[04:10] ---**
Excuse me.
**[04:13] ---**
Keisuke, would you like that one?
**[04:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:18] ---**
If you can build Gunpla like him,
you'll be able to win battles for sure.
**[04:24] ---**
I wouldn't be so certain of that.
**[04:29] ---**
Who are you?
**[04:30] ---**
Sazaki...
**[04:32] ---**
Sei Iori's Gunpla is certainly well built.
**[04:36] ---**
He didn't just assemble the plastic models.
**[04:39] ---**
He smoothed out the seams
and colored them with special paint.
**[04:43] ---**
He made them look just like samples.
**[04:47] ---**
But just because they're built well,
it doesn't mean they can win battles.
**[04:53] ---**
Right?
**[04:54] ---**
Th-That's...
**[04:56] ---**
Then let's try it and see.
**[04:59] ---**
Whose Gunpla is better, yours or mine?
**[05:05] ---**
In a Gunpla Battle!
**[05:08] ---**
I wanna see! I wanna see!
**[05:09] ---**
What?!
**[05:10] ---**
Your customers also want to see.
**[05:15] ---**
Are you chickening out?
**[05:20] ---**
Let's play Gunpla Battle.
**[05:22] ---**
There you go.
**[05:24] ---**
Currently Playing
Gunpla Battle
**[05:27] ---**
Please set your GP Base.

**[05:45] ---**
Field 3, Forest.
**[05:52] ---**
Please set your Gunpla.
**[06:07] ---**
Battle start.
**[06:12] ---**
Sei Iori, Wing Gundam, here I go!
**[06:34] ---**
I'll teach you again...
**[06:37] ---**
Victory in Gunpla Battle isn't decided
by the quality of the model alone!
**[06:47] ---**
I need distance!
**[06:49] ---**
I can't allow that!
**[06:54] ---**
Darn...!
**[07:01] ---**
Your reactions are as slow as ever!
**[07:22] ---**
Battle ended.
**[07:30] ---**
Wow! Your Gunpla is so strong!
**[07:35] ---**
Yeah. The stronger one always wins!
**[07:38] ---**
That's the only rule of Gunpla Battle!
**[07:42] ---**
Dad, I want the same one he has!
**[07:46] ---**
Is that so? Okay then.
**[07:52] ---**
Iori Models
**[07:55] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[07:58] ---**
You should know now.
**[08:00] ---**
You can't win at Gunpla Battle
with your control skills.
**[08:06] ---**
So why don't we team up?
**[08:08] ---**
I'll fight using your
high-performance Gunpla.
**[08:12] ---**
If we enter the championship together,
we'll earn victory and honor.
**[08:17] ---**
This lame store's sales would also...
**[08:19] ---**
I pass.
**[08:20] ---**
Huh?
**[08:22] ---**
I've answered this many times.
**[08:23] ---**
You're strong, but your
fighting style is too rough.
**[08:27] ---**
I can't trust you with my Gunpla.
**[08:30] ---**
You're so stubborn.
**[08:33] ---**
The championship is coming soon.
**[08:35] ---**
If you keep on like this,
your defeat is inevitable.
**[08:38] ---**
If you want to win,
you should think twice about it.
**[08:44] ---**
This is so frustrating...
**[08:46] ---**
If only I had better control skills.
**[08:50] ---**
Yeah...
**[08:52] ---**
Just like my dad.
**[09:16] ---**
Player Takeshi Iori has
the top point score!
**[09:22] ---**
If only I could control
Gunpla like that...
**[09:27] ---**
Sei.
**[09:29] ---**
Mom.
**[09:30] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[09:32] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[09:35] ---**
I'm going out for a bit.
**[09:36] ---**
Sei?
**[09:39] ---**
I wonder what's wrong with him?
**[09:46] ---**
I want to win. With my models,
and with my ideal movements.
**[09:52] ---**
I want to win at Gunpla Battle!
**[10:31] ---**
The 7th Gunpla Battle Championship
is just about to begin!
**[10:35] ---**
Will you be able to survive?
**[10:40] ---**
Nope.
**[10:42] ---**
They all look so strong!
**[10:44] ---**
Like Sazaki said, at this rate,
if I enter the championship...
**[10:48] ---**
But I'll never team up with a guy
who treats Gunpla like that.
**[10:57] ---**
I'll have to think of some way
to win at Gunpla Battle.
**[11:02] ---**
Hey.
**[11:03] ---**
Huh?
**[11:04] ---**
What?
**[11:05] ---**
What's that video playing over there?
**[11:10] ---**
Don't you know about Gunpla Battle?
**[11:12] ---**
What's that?
**[11:14] ---**
You build Gundam plastic models,
or Gunpla, and fight with them.
**[11:18] ---**
That video is a commercial
for the tournament.
**[11:21] ---**
Fight with them...
**[11:23] ---**
So it's like mixed martial arts?
**[11:26] ---**
Well, something like that.
**[11:31] ---**
Looking at him closely,
he doesn't seem to be Japanese.
**[11:34] ---**
But even a foreigner would know
what Gunpla Battle is...
**[11:41] ---**
You want some? It's good.
**[11:43] ---**
No thanks, I...
**[11:45] ---**
Okay. Bye.
**[11:51] ---**
Found you, you little thief!
**[11:53] ---**
What?!
**[11:56] ---**
Hey now, don't walk up to
people and call them thieves!
**[11:59] ---**
How can you say that?!
You stole bread from my store!
**[12:03] ---**
This?
**[12:05] ---**
It was left outside the store.
So I took it, that's all.
**[12:11] ---**
What?!
**[12:12] ---**
It's called storefront sales!
**[12:14] ---**
I can't have you taking
them without paying!
**[12:17] ---**
Then put them somewhere safe!
**[12:19] ---**
What did you say?
How dare you be so brazen!
**[12:23] ---**
I'll take you to the police!
**[12:25] ---**
What?!
**[12:27] ---**
P-Please, hold on a second!
**[12:30] ---**
You're Mr. Iori's...
**[12:32] ---**
I don't think he meant any harm.
**[12:35] ---**
I'll pay for it this time.
**[12:47] ---**
Here.
**[12:48] ---**
Thanks.
**[12:53] ---**
What is this?
**[12:54] ---**
It felt weird in my mouth!
**[12:56] ---**
Haven't you ever had soda?
**[12:58] ---**
But it sure tastes good.
**[13:06] ---**
Cool! It's refreshing.
**[13:12] ---**
Guess I caused you trouble.
**[13:14] ---**
It's not your fault.
**[13:16] ---**
You just came from overseas
and don't know Japan well, right?
**[13:20] ---**
We should help others
when they're in need.
**[13:25] ---**
I'll pay you back for this.
That's a promise.
**[13:28] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[13:30] ---**
I can't do that.
**[13:32] ---**
It's a matter of family dignity.
Our honor will be harmed.
**[13:36] ---**
Sounds really exaggerated.
**[13:40] ---**
I'll give you this.
**[13:41] ---**
What is it?
**[13:43] ---**
A gem?!
**[13:44] ---**
I can't take something so expensive!
**[13:46] ---**
It's just a rock.
**[13:48] ---**
Huh?
**[13:49] ---**
And you are...
**[13:52] ---**
I'm Sei. Sei Iori.
**[13:55] ---**
I'm Reiji.
**[13:57] ---**
Reiji.
**[13:59] ---**
Sei, if you're ever in trouble,
just make a wish on that rock.
**[14:03] ---**
No matter when, no matter what,
I'll come running.
**[14:08] ---**
I'll handle any sort of trouble.
**[14:13] ---**
That's a promise. I swear.
**[14:20] ---**
Awesome. You're like a superhero...
**[14:25] ---**
Huh? Where did he go?
**[14:35] ---**
It's beautiful.
**[14:38] ---**
That gem is beautiful.
**[14:41] ---**
It's just a rock.
**[14:43] ---**
Don't you think it's silly?
**[14:45] ---**
What is?
**[15:03] ---**
There.
**[15:06] ---**
Mom, I finished it!
**[15:11] ---**
My own unique Gunpla that I made
for the Gunpla Battle Championship...
**[15:15] ---**
The Build Strike!
**[15:17] ---**
It's my own original,
based on the Strike Gundam.
**[15:23] ---**
That sounds wonderful.
**[15:24] ---**
It doesn't have rifles
and stuff yet, though.
**[15:27] ---**
I don't know much about
Gunpla as you do,
**[15:31] ---**
but it has the same kind of aura
as the models your dad built.
**[15:36] ---**
You think?
**[15:39] ---**
Yes.
**[15:43] ---**
Looks like it's finally done.
**[15:46] ---**
Sazaki...
**[15:48] ---**
Hello, Sazaki.
**[15:51] ---**
I see, so this is your new model
for the championship!
**[15:54] ---**
It's beautifully made.
**[15:56] ---**
Just right for me to operate!
**[15:58] ---**
This Gunpla isn't for you!
**[16:00] ---**
Oh, you still don't get it?
**[16:03] ---**
You can't win battles
with your control skills.
**[16:08] ---**
I'll prove it in this battle.
With the Gunpla I built.
**[16:14] ---**
That's the spirit.
**[16:16] ---**
So if you lose...
**[16:18] ---**
You can do as you like with it.
**[16:20] ---**
That's what I wanted to hear!
**[16:22] ---**
Are you sure, Sei?
**[16:24] ---**
It's fine.
**[16:25] ---**
If I can't even defeat him...
**[16:28] ---**
I've heard enough.
**[16:33] ---**
Ral shall be the judge of this battle.
**[16:38] ---**
You came.
**[16:39] ---**
Who's he?
**[16:40] ---**
Mr. Ral, one of our regulars.
**[16:44] ---**
You have good eyes.
**[16:47] ---**
They're filled with
confidence and ambition.
**[16:50] ---**
You have guts, too.
**[16:52] ---**
But nothing is guaranteed
on the battlefield, boy.
**[16:57] ---**
Welcome, Mr. Ral.
**[16:59] ---**
M-Mrs. Rinko.
**[17:02] ---**
Excuse me for disturbing you.
**[17:05] ---**
Currently Playing
Gunpla Battle
**[17:09] ---**
Field 2, Desert.
**[17:12] ---**
Let's have a good look at
your life-or-death contest.
**[17:16] ---**
Please set your Gunpla.
**[17:24] ---**
Battle start.
**[17:29] ---**
Sei Iori, Build Strike, here I go!
**[17:35] ---**
Susumu Sazaki, Gyan, here I come!
**[17:48] ---**
What'll his first move be?
**[17:55] ---**
He dropped his weapons?!
**[17:57] ---**
That's a sign that he'll
fight on equal terms.
**[18:00] ---**
That's not it.
**[18:03] ---**
I don't want him to
make excuses when he loses!
**[18:11] ---**
He's quick!
**[18:12] ---**
A Gunpla's performance
depends on how well it's built.
**[18:15] ---**
Sei's new model shows just that.
**[18:18] ---**
But its performance seems to be
too much for him to handle!
**[18:29] ---**
You can build a good machine,
but you can't control it well enough.
**[18:34] ---**
That's the sad reality!
**[18:56] ---**
I don't want to hurt your
machine any more.
**[18:59] ---**
I'll ring you out to end the match.
**[19:06] ---**
I can't get away.
What would Dad do?
**[19:13] ---**
I'm going to lose again.
**[19:14] ---**
I haven't done anything yet...
**[19:19] ---**
I don't want to lose.
**[19:21] ---**
I don't want to lose anymore!
**[19:28] ---**
Darn it!
**[19:30] ---**
Don't give up!
**[19:32] ---**
Go forward!
**[19:36] ---**
What?!
**[19:44] ---**
Reiji. You...?
**[19:46] ---**
You made a wish.
**[19:48] ---**
That's why I came.
**[19:54] ---**
Sei, I'm going to keep my promise.
**[19:56] ---**
I'll fight in your place!
**[19:59] ---**
What? But you've never
done this before, right?
**[20:01] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[20:06] ---**
What are you doing with my Gunpla?!
**[20:09] ---**
Is he Sei's friend?
**[20:11] ---**
Haven't a clue.
**[20:13] ---**
I... I can't believe it, Sei.
**[20:17] ---**
You're letting an amateur
use your machine?
**[20:22] ---**
That... That Gunpla...
**[20:25] ---**
It's supposed to be mine!
**[20:33] ---**
Okay, I get the idea!
**[20:37] ---**
Don't mess with me!
**[20:47] ---**
It's his first Gunpla Battle,
but those maneuvers...
**[20:51] ---**
Is that boy a Newtype?!
**[20:56] ---**
I won't accept such a thing.
**[20:59] ---**
I won't accept it!
**[21:07] ---**
Sei, do you have any weapons?
**[21:08] ---**
In the third slot.
**[21:11] ---**
A beam saber!
**[21:14] ---**
Found it!
**[21:23] ---**
That movement is just like my dad's...
**[21:27] ---**
This is what I was looking for. My ideal...!
**[21:32] ---**
What?
**[21:34] ---**
Who are you?!
**[21:37] ---**
You're finished now!
**[22:00] ---**
Battle ended.
**[22:02] ---**
It won... My Gunpla won!
