[00:01] ---
    Sei. Reiji.
[00:04] ---
    The Gunpla that interfered
    with your race was controlled by...
[00:08] ---
    ...a Gunpla mafia guy called "C."
[00:12] ---
    Gunpla mafia?
[00:14] ---
    Who are they?
[00:16] ---
    They're underworld types who'll
    take any dirty job for money.
[00:23] ---
    Whoever hired this guy
    must be after you two.
[00:28] ---
    That Mega Size Model Zaku
    that barged into the Battle Royal...
[00:32] ---
    ...also seemed to be
    deliberately targeting us.
[00:37] ---
    But why?
[00:39] ---
    We haven't done anything wrong.
[00:41] ---
    I heard that Zaku...
[00:42] ---
    ...was sent in by the organizer
    to spice up the battle.
[00:49] ---
    Reiji?
[00:50] ---
    Where are you going?
[00:52] ---
    I have some business to take care of.
[00:54] ---
    Sei, I'm leaving the Gunpla to you.
[00:59] ---
    What!!?!??
[01:01] ---
    H-How did you get in?
[01:04] ---
    I asked them to let me in.
[01:07] ---
    Very gently and politely.
[01:09] ---
    A-And what do you want from me?
[01:13] ---
    Are you the one who's been
    interfering with our matches?!
[01:18] ---
    Th-That gem...!
[01:20] ---
    Just as I thought, this boy is...
[01:24] ---
    ...the crown prince of Arian!
[01:28] ---
    I covered up my weakness by acting tough
    Tsuyogari no uragawa ni yowasa wo kakushiteta
[01:33] ---
    But I won't run away anymore
    Nigenai yo korekara wa
[01:36] ---
    Let's fly once again into the sky
    Mou ichido ano sora e
[01:40] ---
    I built, destroyed, and built again
    Tsukuriagetemo kowashite mata tsukutte
[01:43] ---
    Hundreds of times (Again and again!)
    Nanbyakukai mo (Again and again!)
[01:46] ---
    But I knew what it felt like to lose
    Demo makeru itami ni naresugiteta
[01:50] ---
    I wanted to be recognized, spinning my wheels
    Mitomeraretakute karamawatte
[01:54] ---
    Even if I was just acting tough
    Tsuyogari miseta tokoro de
[01:56] ---
    But that just made me feel empty, you know?
    Sore ja jibun ga munashikunaru dake ja nai?
[02:02] ---
    Uh, let's go! (It's time to wake up!)
    Uh ikouka (It’s time to wake up!)
[02:04] ---
    Open your eyes, your strength is clear!
    Me wo samashina tsuyosa wa meikaku
[02:07] ---
    Break through destiny (Fight for yourself!)
    Sadame nante kowase (Fight for yourself!)
[02:09] ---
    Don't look away (Fly again!)
    Me sorasuna (Fly again!)
[02:12] ---
    When you wish to become stronger,
    Tsuyoku naritai to negau koto de
[02:17] ---
    Your wings that once trembled...
    Furueteta hane wa
[02:19] ---
    ...will cut through the darkness
    Yami wo kirisaiteku
[02:23] ---
    I won't be afraid, with you by my side
    Kimi ga iru kara mo kowakunai yo
[02:29] ---
    I grasp your hand in mine
    Sono te nigitte
[02:33] ---
    Because you told me...
    Yowasa datte
[02:34] ---
    ...that my weakness is my strength
    Kimi no tsuyosa to oshiete kureta kara
[02:40] ---
    I was able to stand up again
    Boku wa mata tachiagareta
[02:44] ---
    For you, I'll overcome all pain
    Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[02:51] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
    For you, I'll overcome all pain
    Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[02:51] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
    Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
    Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[02:53] ---
    Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
    Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[02:59] ---
    I-It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Reiji.
[03:02] ---
    S-Sure, I'm the main sponsor and
    head of the organizing company, but...
[03:08] ---
    ...I'm not directly involved
    in running the tournament.
[03:10] ---
    I would never interfere with—
[03:13] ---
    But the fact is, we're being attacked!
[03:15] ---
    Th-That's unforgivable.
[03:18] ---
    I'll have the administration side
    look into it at once,
[03:20] ---
    and reinforce the security.
[03:23] ---
    Mr. Reiji, we caused you some trouble.
[03:27] ---
    I must apologize as the organizer.
[03:30] ---
    I'm sorry.
[03:34] ---
    Really, I'm so sorry!
[03:39] ---
    Personally, I don't care.
[03:42] ---
    Huh?
[03:44] ---
    Whether there's
    interference or meddlers,
[03:46] ---
    I'll accept any challenge.
[03:49] ---
    But...
[03:50] ---
    If anyone messes with the people
    giving their all in this tournament...
[03:56] ---
    No matter who it is,
[03:59] ---
    I won't show any mercy.
[04:01] ---
    Episode 15
    Fighter's Radiance
[04:08] ---
    We're 17th in the qualifiers.
[04:10] ---
    To get into the best 16
    and advance to the finals,
[04:14] ---
    we have to nail the final period
    that starts tomorrow.
[04:19] ---
    We've got to win.
[04:22] ---
    I'm... I'm scared, Baker.
[04:26] ---
    Don't worry anymore, Chairman.
[04:29] ---
    I-I mean, that boy...
[04:31] ---
    He doesn't seem to remember
    anything right now,
[04:34] ---
    but he could recall everything.
[04:36] ---
    Recall what?
[04:40] ---
    My secret.
[04:42] ---
    And the secret of the Plavsky particle—
[04:49] ---
    What's wrong?
[04:52] ---
    I'm sorry, sir.
[04:54] ---
    It was just my imagination.
[04:56] ---
    D-Don't scare me!
[04:59] ---
    Just as I thought.
[05:01] ---
    PPSE's Chairman Mashita knows
    the secret of creating Plavsky particles.
[05:08] ---
    But why is it so confidential?
[05:21] ---
    Meijin,
[05:23] ---
    the final period rules
    and matchups are set.
[05:28] ---
    They'll be one-on-one battles.
[05:31] ---
    Your opponent is Khalifa,
    representing Oman.
[05:35] ---
    Never heard of him.
[05:37] ---
    There's no need
    to remember a loser's name.
[05:40] ---
    Just win.
[05:42] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[05:45] ---
    By the way, I found
    one interesting match.
[05:53] ---
    No way.
[05:55] ---
    Mr. Fellini is our next opponent?
[06:01] ---
    That's exciting.
[06:03] ---
    We'll finally be able to
    battle with Fellini for real.
[06:07] ---
    But if you lose, you guys will—
[06:11] ---
    Don't say negative things like that.
[06:14] ---
    Right, Sei?
[06:16] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[06:19] ---
    Exactly!
[06:21] ---
    We're gonna win!
[06:24] ---
    Mr. Fellini!
[06:27] ---
    He's all ready for battle.
[06:32] ---
    I'm getting fired up.
[07:15] ---
    This should take me
    to the tournament finals.
[07:55] ---
    Old man Luang did it, too!
[07:58] ---
    Now he's got a ticket
    to the tournament finals.
[08:03] ---
    Make sure to follow him, Reiji.
[08:06] ---
    Of course.
[08:08] ---
    Iori didn't come to watch?
[08:10] ---
    He's in the room prepping
    the Star Build Strike.
[08:13] ---
    He's concentrating so hard
    I'm afraid to talk to him.
[08:31] ---
    Is this seat taken, Señorita?
[08:35] ---
    Oh, Mr. Fellini.
[08:37] ---
    Huh? Have we met before?
[08:41] ---
    What're you saying?
[08:43] ---
    It's me.
[08:44] ---
    K-Kirara?!
[08:47] ---
    You couldn't tell?
[08:48] ---
    What?!
[08:49] ---
    Um... Of course I knew.
[08:52] ---
    How could I not tell?
[08:55] ---
    Whatever.
[09:00] ---
    Anyway, congratulations on
    passing the qualifiers.
[09:07] ---
    Grazie.
[09:12] ---
    It's impressive.
[09:13] ---
    You made it to the finals even
    before tomorrow's match.
[09:19] ---
    Yeah, tell me about it.
[09:23] ---
    So you can lose for them
    tomorrow without hesitation.
[09:26] ---
    What?
[09:28] ---
    Am I wrong?
[09:29] ---
    After the first day, 14 fighters
    have passed the qualifiers.
[09:34] ---
    Your favorite team of
    Sei Iori and Reiji are 17th.
[09:38] ---
    If you lose for them,
[09:40] ---
    then you can all go
    to the tournament finals.
[09:43] ---
    That's your plan, right?
[09:47] ---
    Huh? It's not?
[09:49] ---
    What?
[09:50] ---
    H-How did you know?
[09:53] ---
    Oh, Fellini!
[10:05] ---
    The Star Build Strike Gundam.
[10:09] ---
    A shield that absorbs
    the opponent's particle beams,
[10:12] ---
    and a system that uses the
    absorbed particles for its own output.
[10:16] ---
    It's amazing he built
    such a Gunpla in so little time.
[10:21] ---
    No.
[10:23] ---
    He had that potential from the beginning.
[10:27] ---
    By partnering with Reiji
    and fighting all those strong opponents,
[10:31] ---
    Sei Iori's building ability
    finally awakened.
[10:36] ---
    And who knows how it will evolve?
[10:44] ---
    Going head-to-head with it
    would be costly.
[10:48] ---
    I could lose on purpose and
    spare my machine for the finals.
[10:53] ---
    Besides, I'm fighting Sei and Reiji.
[10:56] ---
    Part of me wants to let them win.
[11:03] ---
    But that's just not me.
[11:09] ---
    That isn't like the Italian
    champ, Ricardo Fellini.
[11:14] ---
    Right, Fenice?
[11:24] ---
    Funnels!
[11:36] ---
    They must be transparent!
[11:43] ---
    Battle ended.
[11:59] ---
    Mr. Ral, where were you?
[12:02] ---
    I was on patrol.
[12:03] ---
    Huh?
[12:04] ---
    Oh, nothing. Don't worry.
[12:07] ---
    What about their battle?
[12:09] ---
    It's about to begin.
[12:23] ---
    Let's go.
[12:24] ---
    Yeah.
[12:27] ---
    We will now begin match 26
    of the eighth period.
[12:31] ---
    A Gunpla battle of
    Sei Iori and Reiji versus Ricardo Fellini.
[12:40] ---
    Aren't you leaving?
[12:42] ---
    Allow me to watch this battle.
[12:44] ---
    It's rare for you to show
    interest in a battle.
[12:49] ---
    Please set your GP Base.
[12:59] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[13:05] ---
    Field 9, Canyon.
[13:17] ---
    Battle start.
[13:21] ---
    Star Build Strike!
[13:23] ---
    Let's go!
[13:25] ---
    Wing Gundam Fenice, here I come!
[13:36] ---
    He's not firing at us?
[13:38] ---
    He's wary of our Absorb Shield.
[13:41] ---
    That's not all.
[13:43] ---
    Huh?
[13:45] ---
    He wants to greet us first!
[13:51] ---
    We're going to collide!
[14:02] ---
    Fellini.
[14:05] ---
    I accept...
[14:07] ---
    ...your resolve!
[14:17] ---
    What?!
[14:18] ---
    Where are you looking?
[14:30] ---
    The shield!
[14:31] ---
    How dare you...!
[14:34] ---
    Why?
[14:36] ---
    How come...?
[14:38] ---
    Aren't you letting them win?
[14:40] ---
    Fellini...
[15:02] ---
    That wasn't good enough.
[15:04] ---
    What?!
[15:06] ---
    I taught you to make use of
    the terrain, didn't I?
[15:15] ---
    The booster!
[15:21] ---
    As I thought, the Star
    Build Strike is losing.
[15:24] ---
    Sei Iori's Gunpla has
    slightly better performance,
[15:29] ---
    but as a fighter, Mr. Fellini has
    vastly more experience.
[15:34] ---
    Think again.
[15:36] ---
    Sei's knowledge of Gundam stories...
[15:40] ---
    ...more than makes up
    for Reiji's inexperience.
[15:51] ---
    There!
[15:52] ---
    Gotcha!
[15:55] ---
    What?!
[16:06] ---
    It's going to explode!
[16:09] ---
    You're mine!
[16:15] ---
    Darn you!
[16:36] ---
    The Star Build Strike...
[16:46] ---
    Does it hurt, Fenice?
[16:51] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:54] ---
    But I didn't build you to
    be put on a shelf for display.
[17:04] ---
    I built you to win!
[17:16] ---
    The Gunpla I made...
[17:20] ---
    My Wing Gundam Fenice...
[17:24] ---
    I made you to show the world
    that you're the strongest!
[17:33] ---
    So...
[17:35] ---
    Just hang in there a little longer.
[17:41] ---
    Okay, partner?
[17:45] ---
    Let's grab victory with these hands!
[17:56] ---
    Reiji, use the RG system in full mode.
[18:01] ---
    You sure, Sei?
[18:02] ---
    If we use it in this condition,
    the Star Build Strike will...
[18:07] ---
    Mr. Fellini means to win the battle,
[18:10] ---
    even if he loses the Fenice.
[18:14] ---
    To win against him,
[18:15] ---
    the Star Build Strike and I
    need to have the same resolve!
[18:27] ---
    That light...!
[18:29] ---
    By having Plavsky particles
    permeate it both inside and out...
[18:33] ---
    They can control the Gunpla better
    and maximize the machine's output.
[18:38] ---
    This is the true power
    of the Star Build Strike!
[18:42] ---
    This is Iori's...
[18:45] ---
    This is Reiji's Gunpla.
[18:54] ---
    Let's go, Sei!
[18:56] ---
    Yeah!
[19:01] ---
    It's fast!
[19:28] ---
    The strain's too much!
[19:29] ---
    Just do it!
[19:44] ---
    Why is he doing all this?
[19:47] ---
    Mr. Fellini already
    has a spot in the finals.
[19:52] ---
    Don't you get it?
[19:54] ---
    Meijin Kawaguchi?
[19:57] ---
    You don't seem to
    be a big fan of Gunpla.
[20:01] ---
    Then watch closely.
[20:05] ---
    Watch this battle
    between true Gunpla Fighters!
[20:25] ---
    Go, Reiji!
[20:27] ---
    You're finished now!
[20:30] ---
    I won't lose!
[20:53] ---
    Battle ended.
[21:00] ---
    This battle is a draw.
    The end result is a tie.
[21:34] ---
    Sorry, Star Build Strike.
[21:41] ---
    Thank you.
[21:56] ---
    I was nibbling potato chips and it hit me
    Poteto chippusu tabetetara futo omotta
[21:58] ---
    (Hold dear my days)
[22:02] ---
    How many years have I been eating the same thing?
    Nanjuunen onaji mon tabetsuzuketeirun darou
[22:06] ---
    (Fight your fears)
[22:08] ---
    People tell me I need to act my age
    Mou otona nandakara tte iu kedo
[22:11] ---
    (I go my way)
[22:14] ---
    But it's not like I can turn against something I love
    Suki na mono wo kirai ni nareru wake nado nainda
[22:18] ---
    (Normal life)
[22:19] ---
    I put all my energy into childish things
    Taai nai koto mo zenryoku toukyuu
[22:24] ---
    Doesn't matter if you're young or old,
    Muchuu ni nareru kodomo mo
[22:27] ---
    you can lose yourself in something
    Otona mo kankei nai
[22:31] ---
    Let's keep on walking at the same rhythm
    Kawaranai rizumu de arukitsuzukete yukou
[22:37] ---
    True, our stride is a little longer now
    Maa hohaba wa sukoshi dake ookiku natta keredo
[22:43] ---
    The sunset from back then colors our skies today
    Ano hi no yuuhi wa kyou mo sora wo someyuku
[22:49] ---
    I want to be a fool tomorrow,
    Nee ashita mo gojuunengo mo
[22:52] ---
    and even 50 years from now
    Baka yattetainda
[22:55] ---
    The short-pants spirit goes on
    Tsuzuite yuku hanpan supirit
[22:58] ---
    Let's whistle a tune and head home
    Kuchibue fuite kaerou
[23:03] ---
    The never-ending short-pants spirit
    Never-ending hanpan supirit
[23:06] ---
    Our childhood will go on forever
    Owaranai childhood
[23:14] ---
    Th-Th-They got through the qualifiers?!
[23:16] ---
    Yes.
[23:17] ---
    Sei Iori and Reiji earned
    two points for a draw,
[23:22] ---
    and made it to the finals in 16th place.
[23:26] ---
    How could that happen?!
[23:29] ---
    Sei, can I borrow your pin vise?
[23:33] ---
    The 0.5mm drill.
[23:36] ---
    Would you like some sandpaper?
[23:37] ---
    Yeah. #800, please.
[23:40] ---
    To think you guys beat
    each other up yesterday.
[23:47] ---
    Hey, is Gunpla building really that fun?
[23:51] ---
    It sure is!
    It sure is!
