**[00:14] ---**
Th-That's...
**[00:18] ---**
That machine...
**[00:20] ---**
A crimson mobile suit.
**[00:22] ---**
That's the legendary...
**[00:25] ---**
...Gunpla.
**[00:27] ---**
Perfect Gundam III...
**[00:36] ---**
Red Warrior!
**[00:44] ---**
There are no limits, there are no absolutes
Genkai nante nai zettai nante nai
**[00:48] ---**
I was inspired when you said "there are no limits,"
Genkai nante nai tte kimi no kotoba ni akogarete
**[00:55] ---**
So I extended my hand
Kono te wo nobashitanda
**[00:58] ---**
I gave it my all, I cried, I laughed
Zenkai dashite naite waratte
**[01:01] ---**
We're setting out again under the cloudless sky
Mata kumori no nai sora no shita fumidasu no sa
**[01:08] ---**
We're going there!
Ano basho e
**[01:10] ---**

We're going there!

GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS TRY
**[01:14] ---**
The beginning is always the same
Hajimari nante onaji de
**[01:17] ---**
Our hearts are pierced by burning knives
Atsukunatta naifu ga bokura no mune wo tsuranuita
**[01:24] ---**
We keep on running above the racing rain
Ame no reesu no ue hashiritsudzukete
**[01:28] ---**
We can't forget when we're hurt and lose ourselves
Kizutsuite miushinattemo mada wasurerarenai kara
**[01:33] ---**
The skies are gray,
**[01:34] ---**
but we're still showing off our faith!
**[01:36] ---**
We no longer care about blame or pain
Mou ki ni mo naranaize blame to pain
**[01:38] ---**
Victory is in our hands
Uh tsukamitoru no sa eikou
**[01:41] ---**
Our hearts are on fire. Flame on!
Sono haato ni flame on
**[01:42] ---**
We're fighting back against the word "never"
"Zettai nai" tte kotoba ni sakaratte
**[01:46] ---**
Reaching toward the dreams we swore we'd realize
Chikatta yume e to kono te wo nobashiterunda
**[01:52] ---**
There's no right answer anymore
Seikai nante mou nakutatte kotae wa
**[01:57] ---**
The answer is within our hearts
Bokura no mune no naka ni aru
**[02:00] ---**
Just grasp it with burning desire
Futtou shita omoi de tsukamunda
**[02:09] ---**
There are no limits
Genkai nante nai
**[02:23] ---**
The third Meijin Kawaguchi.
**[02:25] ---**
The inheritor of the Kawaguchi name,
**[02:28] ---**
which is revered among Gunpla fans.
**[02:30] ---**
The man who holds the title of Meijin.
**[02:34] ---**
He won the Gunpla Battle
World Championship three times in a row,
**[02:38] ---**
and entered the Hall of Fame.
**[02:39] ---**
Right.
**[02:40] ---**
He truly is the King of Gunpla.
**[02:44] ---**
His latest machine is the legendary...
**[02:48] ---**
Yes. Its name is...
**[02:51] ---**
...Amazing Red Warrior!
**[02:57] ---**
Why is Meijin Kawaguchi here?
**[02:59] ---**
Meijin... Kawaguchi.
**[03:07] ---**
What a pleasure.
**[03:09] ---**
I didn't expect the great Meijin
to come and fight with me.
**[03:14] ---**
I've been pretty bored lately.
**[03:17] ---**
The only one who can
fight me equally is Kijima.
**[03:21] ---**
The rest aren't even
in the same league.
**[03:25] ---**
I plan to enter the open tournament
in this year's championship.
**[03:29] ---**
If I win the nationals, then I can
battle the world's top fighters.
**[03:34] ---**
Ricardo Fellini.
Luang Dallara. Greco Logan.
**[03:39] ---**
And Meijin Kawaguchi,
you're one of them.
**[03:43] ---**
What nonsense.
**[03:44] ---**
Going to the World Championship,
with your current ability?
**[03:48] ---**
Are you saying it's impossible?
**[03:51] ---**
Then, let me test my skill...
**[03:54] ---**
...in this battle!
**[03:59] ---**
Pinpoint precision...
**[04:01] ---**
The beams...
**[04:02] ---**
He shot them down!
**[04:04] ---**
Good, good!
**[04:05] ---**
Then,
**[04:06] ---**
how's this?!
**[04:17] ---**
W-With one stroke?!
**[04:19] ---**
There's more!
**[04:35] ---**
Wow, you're really something.
**[04:37] ---**
So this is the Meijin's power?
**[04:40] ---**
Then, I'll use my ultimate technique!
**[04:54] ---**
Take this! Dead End...
**[04:57] ---**
Battle aborted.
**[05:01] ---**
A forced shutdown?
**[05:03] ---**
Who did this?!
**[05:07] ---**
That's enough.
**[05:08] ---**
I can't let you keep fighting
at damage level B.
**[05:12] ---**
C-Coach...
**[05:14] ---**
Don't be so tough on
our team members, Meijin.
**[05:18] ---**
Then you'd better rein them in.
**[05:21] ---**
I don't like those who disrespect
their opponents and fight with arrogance.
**[05:27] ---**
I'll be sure to remind them.
**[05:28] ---**
Sekai!
**[05:31] ---**
Sekai, are you all right?
**[05:34] ---**
Yuu, help us!
**[05:38] ---**
Yuu?
**[05:41] ---**
N-No way...
**[05:45] ---**
My Lightning...
**[05:53] ---**
Yuu!
**[05:55] ---**
Fumina, let's take him
to the infirmary.
**[05:59] ---**
R-Right.
**[06:02] ---**
Was it an assimilation, Lieutenant?
**[06:05] ---**
Yes. He really gets into it.
**[06:09] ---**
Assimilation...?
**[06:12] ---**
I saw the final round
of the regional qualifiers.
**[06:16] ---**
Turning his pure feelings to fire...
**[06:18] ---**
He's truly a burning boy.
**[06:23] ---**
Not just the Gunpla Academy,
**[06:25] ---**
but Meijin Kawaguchi
also joined the battle.
**[06:27] ---**
This training camp
should be interesting.
**[06:32] ---**
Episode 12
To Fly to the Future
**[06:48] ---**
I lost.
**[06:54] ---**
I lost again.
**[07:01] ---**
I'll build an awesome Gunpla and
enter the championship with you.
**[07:06] ---**
I promise!
**[07:10] ---**
You have no talent...
**[07:15] ---**
...for Gunpla Battle.
**[07:32] ---**
"Keeping my promise?"
**[07:35] ---**
"Getting back what I had lost?"
**[07:38] ---**
I...
**[07:40] ---**
I've done nothing at all...
**[07:43] ---**
Nothing.
**[07:49] ---**
Darn it!
**[07:51] ---**
If Coach hadn't stopped us,
**[07:53] ---**
my Gundam The End would've
beaten the Meijin by now!
**[07:57] ---**
Do you really think so?
**[08:00] ---**
What?
**[08:01] ---**
If you had continued the battle,
how would it have ended?
**[08:07] ---**
Nobody knows that better than...
**[08:10] ---**
...you yourself, Adou.
**[08:14] ---**
Such is the ability of
the King of Gunpla, huh?
**[08:20] ---**
I'll surpass him.
**[08:22] ---**
If that guy is a huge mountain,
**[08:25] ---**
then I'll just fly even higher.
**[08:29] ---**
I envy you.
**[08:31] ---**
Huh? Are you mocking me?
**[08:33] ---**
I'm saying that I'm lucky
to have you as a teammate.
**[08:45] ---**
Oh, it's not that bad.
**[08:47] ---**
He'll wake up sooner or later.
**[08:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:52] ---**
Mr. Ral, can you look after
Sekai for a while?
**[08:55] ---**
Huh? Sure, but...
**[08:58] ---**
Thank you. I have to go.
**[09:01] ---**
Where to, Fumina?
**[09:04] ---**
I need to find Yuu.
**[09:09] ---**
If...
**[09:10] ---**
If a battle with that fighter
is the reason...
**[09:13] ---**
...that he quit Gunpla Battle
two years ago...
**[09:30] ---**
Meijin Kawaguchi.
**[09:33] ---**
Leaving your Gunpla behind...
**[09:36] ---**
...disqualifies you as a builder.
**[09:40] ---**
The last time I met you was at
the Artistic Gunpla Contest, right?
**[09:44] ---**
Kousaka.
**[09:45] ---**
Thank you for taking care of me then.
**[09:48] ---**
I'm the one being taken care of.
**[09:51] ---**
By your sister.
**[09:52] ---**
My sister...?
**[09:56] ---**
Get on.
**[09:57] ---**
Why do I need to get on...?
**[09:59] ---**
No questions asked.
**[10:08] ---**
That's...
**[10:10] ---**
Yuu and Meijin Kawaguchi.
Where are they going?
**[10:14] ---**
Leave him to the third Meijin.
**[10:26] ---**
Wh-Who are you?
**[10:33] ---**
My name is Lady Kawaguchi.
**[10:37] ---**
The woman who inherited
the name of Kawaguchi.
**[10:46] ---**
My name is Lady Kawaguchi.
**[10:49] ---**
The woman who inherited
the name of Kawaguchi.
**[10:52] ---**
Lady Kawaguchi...
**[11:06] ---**
Y-You're the woman from back then...
**[11:09] ---**
Back then?
**[11:11] ---**
Six years ago, weren't you in
the Kanto Invitational Tournament?
**[11:15] ---**
You were using a Gunpla from Stargazer.
**[11:17] ---**
Was I? I don't remember.
**[11:20] ---**
I see...
**[11:23] ---**
Oh, more importantly, where is
Meijin Kawaguchi taking Yuu?
**[11:27] ---**
The third Meijin is such a meddler.
**[11:32] ---**
If anyone loses interest in Gunpla,
**[11:35] ---**
that man can't ignore them.
**[11:38] ---**
Don't worry about your friend.
**[11:41] ---**
Instead, you should be
thinking about yourself.
**[11:47] ---**
As you are now...
As a Gunpla builder and fighter,
**[11:52] ---**
you're definitely lacking something.
**[11:56] ---**
Lacking something...?
**[11:58] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[11:59] ---**
What is it?
**[12:01] ---**
What do I lack?
**[12:03] ---**
I'm bad at explaining with words.
**[12:08] ---**
So I can only teach you
through a battle.
**[12:13] ---**
Do you want to try?
**[12:24] ---**
That's the Meijin!
**[12:25] ---**
It's Meijin Kawaguchi!
**[12:26] ---**
Wow, in the flesh.
**[12:28] ---**
Cool!
**[12:29] ---**
Why is the Meijin here?
**[12:31] ---**
Manager, please let us
use the battle system.
**[12:34] ---**
S-Sure. With pleasure.
**[12:36] ---**
Meijin, if you wouldn't mind...
**[12:38] ---**
I'll sign autographs later.
**[12:39] ---**
Wow!
**[12:41] ---**
He replies at three times
normal speed, too!
**[12:46] ---**
Meijin, why are we here?
**[12:48] ---**
To play a battle, of course.
**[12:51] ---**
If you saw the battle at the Labs,
you should already know.
**[12:55] ---**
There'd be no contest
between you and I.
**[12:59] ---**
A sensible view.
**[13:01] ---**
But it also sounds as if you're
giving up before even trying.
**[13:05] ---**
That's not what I...
**[13:07] ---**
So I'll give you a handicap.
**[13:13] ---**
You can use my Amazing Red Warrior.
**[13:17] ---**
I'll fight with the Gunpla you built.
**[13:21] ---**
With the Lightning?
**[13:22] ---**
Don't worry.
**[13:24] ---**
I'll set the damage level to C.
**[13:26] ---**
What's that?
**[13:28] ---**
Are you playing with me?
**[13:31] ---**
Yes, let's play.
**[13:33] ---**
Let's do it seriously
from the bottom of our hearts.
**[13:39] ---**
Gunpla Battle, combat mode, startup.
**[13:42] ---**
Model damage level, set to C.
**[13:45] ---**
Please set your GP Base.
**[13:48] ---**
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
**[13:52] ---**
Field 1, Space.
**[13:54] ---**
Please set your Gunpla.
**[14:04] ---**
Battle start.
**[14:08] ---**
Yuuma Kousaka,
Amazing Red Warrior, here I go!
**[14:13] ---**
Meijin Kawaguchi,
Lightning Gundam, here I come!
**[14:21] ---**
I can barely use the left arm.
**[14:28] ---**
Although it's been damaged,
it's still maneuvering well.
**[14:32] ---**
This machine is surely the work of
an Artistic Gunpla Contest winner.
**[14:39] ---**
The Amazing Red Warrior.
**[14:42] ---**
Even looking at it objectively,
it's a great machine.
**[14:45] ---**
I don't mind praising myself.
**[14:49] ---**
There's almost no play
in the arm rakers.
**[14:52] ---**
What a souped-up machine.
**[14:54] ---**
And...
**[14:55] ---**
This output and firepower.
**[14:57] ---**
So, this is a Gunpla built by a Meijin...
**[15:03] ---**
Fighting against a machine
that I built myself...
**[15:07] ---**
Gotcha!
**[15:13] ---**
One more shot.
**[15:17] ---**
He dodged it?
**[15:19] ---**
That's my Lightning?!
**[15:21] ---**
You've built such a great machine.
**[15:24] ---**
So why, Kousaka?!
**[15:27] ---**
It's closing on me?!
**[15:34] ---**
They won't hit?!
**[15:35] ---**
Maintain distance and adjust position...
**[15:42] ---**
He disappeared. Where...?
**[15:49] ---**
As I thought, you're sensible.
**[15:51] ---**
Understanding the machines,
analyzing the opponent's strength,
**[15:55] ---**
and selecting the best tactic
depending on the situation.
**[16:00] ---**
But...
**[16:02] ---**
...you only fight
so that you won't lose.
**[16:05] ---**
That's negative thinking!
**[16:07] ---**
That's not true!
**[16:12] ---**
I'm doing my best!
**[16:14] ---**
Your so-called best...
**[16:16] ---**
...is just the limit that
you've placed on yourself!
**[16:19] ---**
That isn't true!
**[16:23] ---**
I've tried so hard.
**[16:25] ---**
I've... I've been trying hard all this time!
**[16:29] ---**
Don't use the words
"trying hard" to console yourself.
**[16:31] ---**
Those words are for
cheering on others!
**[16:37] ---**
You repeat the words "I did my best"
or "I tried hard" like a magic charm.
**[16:41] ---**
You're spoiling yourself!
**[16:49] ---**
Dare I say it.
**[16:50] ---**
There are no limits to Gunpla!
**[17:13] ---**
It's not my Gunpla's performance,
**[17:16] ---**
or my talent as a fighter.
**[17:19] ---**
The problem lies in my heart.
**[17:22] ---**
Because my heart is weak...
**[17:26] ---**
...I let the Lightning
get damaged like this.
**[17:30] ---**
It's my fault.
**[17:34] ---**
Kousaka...
**[17:35] ---**
This is great.
**[17:38] ---**
I still have room for improvement.
**[17:42] ---**
I can break the limits that I created,
**[17:45] ---**
and change myself.
**[17:48] ---**
I can become stronger!
**[17:52] ---**
It's a difficult path.
**[17:54] ---**
But it's one worth taking.
**[17:57] ---**
Meijin, please give me one more battle.
**[18:01] ---**
As many times as you like.
**[18:03] ---**
But only until the store's closing time.
**[18:05] ---**
Right!
**[18:25] ---**
If shooting doesn't work,
**[18:27] ---**
I'll fight her up close!
**[18:31] ---**
Is this all you've got?
**[18:32] ---**
Not yet!
**[18:46] ---**
No way!
**[18:48] ---**
As I thought, that's all you had.
**[18:57] ---**
Go!
**[19:10] ---**
You can't manage the weapons
that you made yourself.
**[19:13] ---**
What a disgraceful Gunpla!
**[19:17] ---**
With the sword of
Maryu Kenshi Zero Gundam!
**[19:24] ---**
Evil Dragon Awakening
**[19:32] ---**
Go back to zero!
**[19:45] ---**
Battle ended.
**[19:51] ---**
Do you understand now
what you're lacking?
**[19:56] ---**
What I'm lacking...
**[20:00] ---**
If you don't understand,
**[20:03] ---**
I recommend you drop out of
the National Tournament.
**[20:11] ---**
What am I lacking...?
**[20:16] ---**
Sekai.
**[20:18] ---**
Yuu.
**[20:20] ---**
I...
**[20:26] ---**
I understand now...!
**[20:28] ---**
I...!
**[20:34] ---**
Hey, Sekai. You still need to rest!
**[20:37] ---**
I'm fine, Mr. Ral.
**[20:40] ---**
Please tell Hoshino and Yuuma
that I'm fixing my Gunpla!
**[20:43] ---**
Wait!
**[20:45] ---**
With your building skills,
fixing that Gunpla would be...!
**[20:49] ---**
Oh boy.
**[20:51] ---**
So this is youth.
**[20:54] ---**
I can't waste my time.
**[20:57] ---**
Saga Adou was strong.
**[21:02] ---**
He was really awesome!
**[21:04] ---**
There will be lots of strong guys
like him in the National Tournament.
**[21:11] ---**
I'm getting excited!
**[21:17] ---**
I'll fix you soon, Build Burning.
**[21:48] ---**
H-Hey...
**[21:56] ---**
So beautiful.
**[21:58] ---**
Huh?
**[22:00] ---**
Your Gunpla is so beautiful.
**[22:12] ---**
Go fight!! Go fight!! Ready!!
**[22:14] ---**
Go fight!! Go fight!! Let you go!!
**[22:27] ---**
I looked out at the gloom one day
Saenai menshita one day
**[22:29] ---**
It can't be defeated this way
Nankoufuraku no this way
**[22:32] ---**
My thoughts are scattered, I wonder to myself
Edawakare no shikou jimonjitoushite
**[22:36] ---**
Is this the right path? Question
Kocchi de atteru no question
**[22:39] ---**
Let's leave it up to chance, motion
Detatoko shoubu no motion
**[22:41] ---**
I stumble along under the crying sky
Yoromeite susumu naki sora no shita
**[22:46] ---**
Don't call it a stereotype
Suteriotaipu nante
**[22:48] ---**
Don't judge, just drop-kick it
Kimetsukenaide doroppukikku suru ze
**[22:51] ---**
Let's hold hands and fly away
Te wo toriatte tobidasunda
**[22:56] ---**
(Fly away! Higher!) Beyond the sky
(Fly away! Higher!) Sora no kanata
**[23:00] ---**
Amazing the world!
**[23:03] ---**
If you're with me, I feel like I'll find it
Issho nara mitsukarisou sa
**[23:06] ---**
(Go together!) At supersonic speed,
(Go together!) Onsoku no haisupiido de
**[23:10] ---**
We'll connect the shining points in our hearts
Mune ni hikaru 'ten' to 'ten' wo tsunagiawase
**[23:16] ---**
(Like a rainbow!) With an unshakable bond, find out
(Like a rainbow!) Yuruginai kizuna de find out
**[23:23] ---**
Let's go where the light guides us, dive!
Hikari sasu hougaku e dive
**[23:38] ---**
Go fight!! Go fight!! Let you go!!
**[23:44] ---**
Please let me join your club!
**[23:48] ---**
I know I'm asking for too much.
**[23:50] ---**
But there's a guy
that I have to fight!
**[23:55] ---**
Please!
