[00:02] ---
    Dad! Dad!
[00:06] ---
    Welcome, Sei.
[00:08] ---
    Today is your celebration.
[00:10] ---
    Yeah!
[00:11] ---
    Come on in.
[00:26] ---
    Congratulations on making the
    best 16 in the World Tournament!
[00:30] ---
    And welcome back from traveling
    around the world to promote Gunpla.
[00:42] ---
    Sei, I brought you a present.
[00:47] ---
    Thanks, Dad!
[00:53] ---
    How wonderful it is to love Gunpla!
    How wonderful it is to love Gunpla!
[00:56] ---
    Hurray for Gunpla!
    Hurray for Gunpla!
[01:07] ---
    It was a dream.
[01:10] ---
    I wonder where Dad is right now?
[01:15] ---
    I covered up my weakness by acting tough
    Tsuyogari no uragawa ni yowasa wo kakushiteta
[01:20] ---
    But I won't run away anymore
    Nigenai yo korekara wa
[01:23] ---
    Let's fly once again into the sky
    Mou ichido ano sora e
[01:27] ---
    I built, destroyed, and built again
    Tsukuriagetemo kowashite mata tsukutte
[01:30] ---
    Hundreds of times (Again and again!)
    Nanbyakukai mo (Again and again!)
[01:33] ---
    But I knew what it felt like to lose
    Demo makeru itami ni naresugiteta
[01:37] ---
    I wanted to be recognized, spinning my wheels
    Mitomeraretakute karamawatte
[01:41] ---
    Even if I was just acting tough
    Tsuyogari miseta tokoro de
[01:43] ---
    But that just made me feel empty, you know?
    Sore ja jibun ga munashikunaru dake ja nai?
[01:49] ---
    Uh, let's go! (It's time to wake up!)
    Uh ikouka (It’s time to wake up!)
[01:51] ---
    Open your eyes, your strength is clear!
    Me wo samashina tsuyosa wa meikaku
[01:54] ---
    Break through destiny (Fight for yourself!)
    Sadame nante kowase (Fight for yourself!)
[01:56] ---
    Don't look away (Fly again!)
    Me sorasuna (Fly again!)
[01:59] ---
    When you wish to become stronger,
    Tsuyoku naritai to negau koto de
[02:04] ---
    Your wings that once trembled...
    Furueteta hane wa
[02:06] ---
    ...will cut through the darkness
    Yami wo kirisaiteku
[02:10] ---
    I won't be afraid, with you by my side
    Kimi ga iru kara mo kowakunai yo
[02:16] ---
    I grasp your hand in mine
    Sono te nigitte
[02:20] ---
    Because you told me...
    Yowasa datte
[02:21] ---
    ...that my weakness is my strength
    Kimi no tsuyosa to oshiete kureta kara
[02:27] ---
    I was able to stand up again
    Boku wa mata tachiagareta
[02:31] ---
    For you, I'll overcome all pain
    Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[02:38] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
    For you, I'll overcome all pain
    Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[02:38] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
    Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
    Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[02:40] ---
    Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
    Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[02:46] ---
    Hello, everyone!
[02:48] ---
    I'm the image character for the
    Gunpla Championship World Tournament,
[02:51] ---
    Kirara, the Gunpla idol!
[02:54] ---
    Kiraran!
[02:58] ---
    It's day ten of the World Tournament.
[02:59] ---
    The qualifier periods are over,
[03:01] ---
    and 16 teams have been selected
    to advance to the tournament finals!
[03:06] ---
    Before the finals,
    which start in three days,
[03:10] ---
    we have here with us...
[03:11] ---
    ...Rainer Cziommer of Germany, who was
    unfortunately eliminated in the qualifiers!
[03:16] ---
    Mr. Cziommer, what can we
    expect to see next?
[03:22] ---
    Who could've guessed
    Sei and Reiji would still be in.
[03:27] ---
    I'm gonna make it nice and clear.
[03:31] ---
    Fellini will lose.
[03:33] ---
    He'll be totally crushed.
[03:36] ---
    You must have really bad taste
    if you're into a loser like that, Kirara.
[03:40] ---
    Mr. Cziommer!
[03:44] ---
    I'm all dressed and ready!
[03:47] ---
    Now I can deal with those reporters.
[03:54] ---
    Could you tell us
    how you raised Sei Iori?
[03:59] ---
    I didn't do anything special.
[04:01] ---
    I just hoped he'd become
    a kind and honest boy.
[04:04] ---
    Your husband Takeshi was runner-up
    in the 2nd World Tournament.
[04:07] ---
    Now your son Sei is in the best 16.
[04:10] ---
    Yours is truly a Gunpla family.
[04:12] ---
    And you're so beautiful, madam!
[04:14] ---
    Oh, stop.
[04:20] ---
    Temporarily Closed
    sorry ♥
[04:21] ---
    Temporarily Closed
    sorry ♥
[04:21] ---
    Doors locked!
[04:23] ---
    Iori Models
[04:23] ---
    Iori Models
[04:23] ---
    Wait for me, Sei and Reiji.
[04:26] ---
    Mom's coming to cheer for you!
[04:29] ---
    Iori Models
[04:35] ---
    Episode 16
    Dad, We Meet Again?
[04:41] ---
    My bad, Sei.
[04:43] ---
    I'm sorry I broke it.
[04:45] ---
    You don't have to keep saying that.
    It couldn't be helped.
[04:50] ---
    I mean, our opponent was
    Mr. Fellini, after all.
[04:53] ---
    But will you be able to fix it for
    the tournament finals in two days?
[04:58] ---
    It's okay. The Class Rep
    and Mr. Ral are going to help.
[05:03] ---
    I know! I'll help, too!
[05:07] ---
    No you won't.
    You've never built Gunpla before.
[05:11] ---
    It'll be a piece of cake for me.
[05:14] ---
    Here, let me see.
[05:16] ---
    Wh-What?!
[05:18] ---
    It'll be fine.
[05:19] ---
    No!
[05:22] ---
    I said no!
[05:34] ---
    How could you?!
[05:36] ---
    Y-You're the one who wouldn't let go.
[05:40] ---
    Don't bother me anymore.
[05:41] ---
    I'll work alone!
[05:44] ---
    Okay, okay. I got it.
[05:47] ---
    You're so bossy just because
    you're good at Gunpla building.
[05:51] ---
    Where are you going, Reiji?
[05:53] ---
    None of your business!
    You told me not to bother you.
[05:56] ---
    Bye.
[06:02] ---
    And that's what happened.
[06:04] ---
    Don't fight.
[06:06] ---
    No, we're not fighting.
[06:10] ---
    This could be a good
    development for Reiji.
[06:16] ---
    At least he's interested
    in Gunpla building now.
[06:34] ---
    Y-Yummy!
[06:37] ---
    Why is Japanese food so delicious?
[06:40] ---
    This is just a local specialty,
    but it's still so good.
[06:45] ---
    Hurray for "Exotic Japan!"
[06:51] ---
    Mommy! Mommy!
[06:53] ---
    Buy me a Haro!
[06:55] ---
    Fine, fine.
[07:06] ---
    I wish I could stay
    in this country forever.
[07:23] ---
    Just you wait, Sei.
[07:25] ---
    I'll build an amazing Gunpla
    so you can't brag anymore.
[07:30] ---
    But...
[07:32] ---
    Looking at these again,
    there sure are a lot of them.
[07:36] ---
    Just how many different kinds
    of these Zaku things are there?
[07:42] ---
    Lalah Sune's Mobile Armor?
[07:46] ---
    Is that the Gunpla's name?
[07:48] ---
    There's a whole story behind it.
[07:52] ---
    It looks like this is
    your first time buying Gunpla.
[07:55] ---
    Who are you, old man?
[07:57] ---
    I'm just a passing Gunpla fan
    traveling around the world.
[08:02] ---
    If you're having trouble,
    I can choose a Gunpla for you.
[08:07] ---
    Huh? Who asked you to...
[08:09] ---
    Let me see.
[08:11] ---
    He's not listening.
[08:18] ---
    Oh, this is good.
[08:20] ---
    It's the Beginning Gundam,
[08:22] ---
    the main machine in Model Suit
    Gunpla Builders Beginning G.
[08:26] ---
    This machine was the first one
    that its controller Haru Irei built.
[08:30] ---
    It's distinguished by
    its range of movement.
[08:33] ---
    It has high mobility in Gunpla Battle
    even when assembled normally!
[08:37] ---
    It has a beam rifle and nine beam sabers…
[08:39] ---
    Don't get carried away, old man!
    It has a beam rifle and nine beam sabers…
[08:39] ---
    Don't get carried away, old man!
[08:43] ---
    Who is that guy?
[08:44] ---
    As for the young lady
    peeking in from over there...
[08:47] ---
    Huh?
[08:49] ---
    For you,
[08:51] ---
    I'd recommend the Command Gundam.
[08:53] ---
    M-Me?
[08:55] ---
    You're...
[08:57] ---
    I-I've never built a Gunpla before.
[09:02] ---
    Then I'll teach you!
[09:05] ---
    See? I have all the tools!
[09:12] ---
    What are you doing here?
[09:14] ---
    It's just a coincidence.
[09:16] ---
    Anyway, who is that old man?
[09:18] ---
    How would I know?
[09:20] ---
    Stop your whispering!
[09:23] ---
    Eliminate distraction
    from your Gunpla building!
[09:25] ---
    You're like a totally different person.
[09:28] ---
    You're supposed to say "Sir, yes sir!"
[09:30] ---
    Otherwise, keep quiet!
[09:33] ---
    Sir, yes sir!
    Sir, yes sir!
[09:35] ---
    First, open the Gunpla box
    and take out the instructions.
[09:42] ---
    Read the instructions carefully.
[09:45] ---
    You have one minute!
[09:46] ---
    Impossible!
[09:48] ---
    Sir, yes sir!
[09:52] ---
    Before you start, check the parts.
[09:55] ---
    Make sure everything shown
    in the instructions is in the box.
[09:59] ---
    Don't forget the polycaps and stickers!
[10:03] ---
    Start building from
    step one in the instructions.
[10:08] ---
    Pay close attention
    when using the nippers!
[10:12] ---
    Cut the gate slightly long,
    and then trim the extra bit.
[10:17] ---
    It's more effective to make two cuts.
[10:22] ---
    Assemble the parts you cut out
    as per the instructions.
[10:26] ---
    Be careful not to forget the polycaps.
[10:29] ---
    Removing the sticker will
    weaken its adhesive strength.
[10:33] ---
    Position it carefully!
[10:36] ---
    It's more effective to
    rub it on with a cotton swab.
[10:43] ---
    Check the machine's
    movement range as you build.
[10:46] ---
    A deep understanding of your Gunpla
    will be an advantage in battle.
[10:54] ---
    Finished, sir!
    Finished, sir!
[10:58] ---
    Wonderful.
[11:00] ---
    I can't believe it's your first time.
[11:02] ---
    They're built diligently
    according to the basics.
[11:05] ---
    You both did a good job.
[11:08] ---
    To commemorate your
    first time building Gunpla,
[11:11] ---
    keep the nippers and sandpaper.
[11:13] ---
    He's back to normal.
    He's back to normal.
[11:16] ---
    We may as well give
    the Gunpla a little extra touch.
[11:21] ---
    By just panel-lining with a marker
    and adding some matte spray,
[11:26] ---
    they'll be transformed!
[11:28] ---
    Sir, yes sir!
    Sir, yes sir!
[11:31] ---
    Well, I'm off.
[11:33] ---
    Please be careful, Chairman.
[11:35] ---
    Miss Baker, while I'm away, take care of...
[11:39] ---
    Yes. I'll think of a new plan
    before the tournament finals.
[11:44] ---
    Please do.
[11:53] ---
    Chairman Mashita is away on business.
[11:55] ---
    Now, how am I going to
    I'll get into the PPSE factory?
[12:01] ---
    It'd be quicker if
    I got close to Meijin Kawaguchi,
[12:04] ---
    but they'll catch me if I'm careless.
[12:09] ---
    What did you say?!
[12:11] ---
    Wait a minute.
    The assignment is over.
[12:15] ---
    Your pride won't allow it?
    I don't care.
[12:19] ---
    The assignment is pointless
    if it's outside the tournament!
[12:22] ---
    What's going on?
[12:24] ---
    That's enough!
[12:25] ---
    Don't let it go public!
[12:27] ---
    Hello? Hello?
[12:38] ---
    Sir! Panel-lining with marker is done!
    Sir! Panel-lining with marker is done!
[12:41] ---
    Good. On to the finish!
[12:43] ---
    Sir, yes sir!
    Sir, yes sir!
[12:48] ---
    When it comes to Gunpla,
    he suddenly changes.
[12:51] ---
    He reminds me of someone.
[13:00] ---
    How's it going, Iori?
[13:02] ---
    Can you fix the Gunpla by
    the tournament finals in two days?
[13:07] ---
    Just about, yeah.
[13:10] ---
    Don't worry!
[13:12] ---
    I'll cheer you on until you finish it.
[13:15] ---
    Huh? You'll stay here until I'm done?
[13:19] ---
    Um...
[13:24] ---
    Even if it gets late,
    I'll be sure to take her home.
[13:30] ---
    Th-Thank you very much!
[13:46] ---
    W-Wow!
[13:47] ---
    Just with those little touches
    the old man taught us,
[13:51] ---
    I can't believe they
    look so much better.
[13:54] ---
    Gunpla gets better and better
    the more you add to it.
[13:59] ---
    Coloring, a change of weapons,
    customizing the machine...
[14:03] ---
    It's as unlimited as your creativity.
[14:05] ---
    That's what makes Gunpla so fun,
    and also what gives it depth.
[14:09] ---
    Great, let's try them out!
[14:12] ---
    Can you battle?
[14:15] ---
    Huh?
[14:15] ---
    Gunpla Battle!
[14:18] ---
    I've never done anything like that.
[14:20] ---
    I don't even know how.
[14:22] ---
    Alright, whatever.
[14:25] ---
    I can't help it.
[14:28] ---
    It's alright.
[14:29] ---
    The battle system here has an unmanned machine
[14:32] ---
    so you can play against the computer.
[14:36] ---
    You can enjoy a battle on your own.
[14:43] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[14:52] ---
    Field 1, Space.
[14:57] ---
    Battle start.
[15:01] ---
    Reiji, Beginning Gundam, let's go!
[15:13] ---
    How awesome is the Gunpla I built?
[15:17] ---
    Yeah, yeah. It's so amazing.
[15:20] ---
    Even if it's your first time
    controlling a Gunpla,
[15:22] ---
    if you built it yourself,
    it's easier to master it.
[15:26] ---
    You're right!
[15:29] ---
    Let's see who my opponent is.
[15:33] ---
    That machine...
[15:35] ---
    I've seen it before.
[15:39] ---
    It's huge.
[15:40] ---
    That Gunpla was made by
    putting claws on a Zeong.
[15:44] ---
    How did such a well-customized
    Gunpla get into the battle system?
[15:54] ---
    What?!
[15:58] ---
    The arms came off!
[16:00] ---
    That's an all-range attack!
[16:06] ---
    Darn!
[16:08] ---
    There's no opening!
[16:11] ---
    Reiji!
[16:12] ---
    Darn you.
[16:14] ---
    I worked so hard
    to build this Gunpla...!
[16:18] ---
    Th-This is...
[16:20] ---
    This is how Sei must've felt
    during every battle.
[16:24] ---
    And unlike mine, his Build Strike...
[16:29] ---
    ...takes days or weeks to build.
[16:32] ---
    Ahead!
[16:39] ---
    Charge right up to him!
[16:45] ---
    Amuro Ray, the Gundam pilot,
    defeated Char's Zeong that way!
[16:58] ---
    Oh no! I forgot it had legs.
[17:01] ---
    What a liar!
[17:11] ---
    Backup?
[17:14] ---
    I can't watch this any longer!
[17:16] ---
    You!
[17:17] ---
    Here come the arms!
[17:39] ---
    Without the arms...
[17:40] ---
    All that's left is...!
[17:42] ---
    That humongous...
[17:43] ---
    Body!
[18:17] ---
    Battle ended.
[18:20] ---
    Yeah!
[18:21] ---
    We did it.
[18:23] ---
    You're good.
[18:24] ---
    Of course. Who do you think I am?
[18:29] ---
    Huh? I thought you'd never
    played Gunpla Battle before.
[18:33] ---
    I-I learned by watching you operate it.
[18:37] ---
    It was surprisingly easy.
[18:39] ---
    Seriously?
[18:41] ---
    Of course.
[18:43] ---
    Anyway, how long are you
    going to hold my hand?
[18:46] ---
    You held mine first!
[18:48] ---
    No, I didn't!
[18:49] ---
    Yeah, you did!
[18:54] ---
    Wait a minute.
[18:55] ---
    What?
[18:56] ---
    Where's the old man?
[18:58] ---
    Huh?
[18:59] ---
    Where did he...?
[19:05] ---
    I knew as soon as I saw
    that customized Zeong.
[19:08] ---
    I didn't think I'd meet you here.
[19:14] ---
    Sometimes he's the owner of
    a back-alley model store.
[19:17] ---
    And sometimes he's a Gunpla fan,
[19:20] ---
    traveling around the world
    to promote Gunpla.
[19:23] ---
    But his true self is...
[19:29] ---
    International Gunpla Battle
    Official Referee, Takeshi Iori!
[19:33] ---
    Gunpla mafioso "C."
[19:35] ---
    I'm arresting you for 36 crimes, including...
[19:39] ---
    ...illicit participation in an official tournament
    and unlawful Gunpla control!
[19:56] ---
    Don't use Gunpla for foolish things.
[20:02] ---
    What?!
    What?!
[20:04] ---
    You built this Beginning Gundam yourself?!
[20:07] ---
    What do you think?
    Building Gunpla is a piece of cake.
[20:15] ---
    He didn't just assemble it.
[20:17] ---
    He drew in the panel lines
    and even used matte spray.
[20:21] ---
    So cool.
[20:24] ---
    You really made this by yourself?
[20:27] ---
    Well, I did have a little help.
[20:31] ---
    Who helped you?
[20:33] ---
    An old man who was usually calm,
[20:36] ---
    but got real strict
    when we built Gunpla.
[20:38] ---
    Oh yeah, he gave me this!
[20:43] ---
    Th-Those nippers...!
[20:45] ---
    What is it?
[20:48] ---
    Oh. It's nothing.
[20:54] ---
    Dad...
[20:59] ---
    Sorry, Sei.
[21:00] ---
    I'll still be roaming
    the world in disguise, but...
[21:04] ---
    ...I've been watching you on TV.
[21:06] ---
    You've become a good builder.
[21:08] ---
    Good luck in the tournament finals.
[21:11] ---
    Sei...
[21:21] ---
    I'll do my best, Dad.
[21:23] ---
    With the Build Strike I made,
    and together with Reiji.

    I was nibbling potato chips and it hit me
    Poteto chippusu tabetetara futo omotta
[21:46] ---
    (Hold dear my days)
[21:49] ---
    How many years have I been eating the same thing?
    Nanjuunen onaji mon tabetsuzuketeirun darou
[21:53] ---
    (Fight your fears)
[21:55] ---
    People tell me I need to act my age
    Mou otona nandakara tte iu kedo
[21:58] ---
    (I go my way)
[22:01] ---
    But it's not like I can turn against something I love
    Suki na mono wo kirai ni nareru wake nado nainda
[22:06] ---
    (Normal life)
[22:07] ---
    I put all my energy into childish things
    Taai nai koto mo zenryoku toukyuu
[22:12] ---
    Doesn't matter if you're young or old,
    Muchuu ni nareru kodomo mo
[22:15] ---
    you can lose yourself in something
    Otona mo kankei nai
[22:18] ---
    Let's keep on walking at the same rhythm
    Kawaranai rizumu de arukitsuzukete yukou
[22:24] ---
    True, our stride is a little longer now
    Maa hohaba wa sukoshi dake ookiku natta keredo
[22:30] ---
    The sunset from back then colors our skies today
    Ano hi no yuuhi wa kyou mo sora wo someyuku
[22:36] ---
    I want to be a fool tomorrow,
    Nee ashita mo gojuunengo mo
[22:40] ---
    and even 50 years from now
    Baka yattetainda
[22:43] ---
    The short-pants spirit goes on
    Tsuzuite yuku hanpan supirit
[22:46] ---
    Let's whistle a tune and head home
    Kuchibue fuite kaerou
[22:50] ---
    The never-ending short-pants spirit
    Never-ending hanpan supirit
[22:53] ---
    Our childhood will go on forever
    Owaranai childhood
[23:02] ---
    Sei! Reiji!
[23:04] ---
    Congrats on making the tournament finals!
[23:07] ---
    I came to cheer for you!
[23:09] ---
    Thank you, Sei's mom.
[23:11] ---
    Mom, what about the store?
[23:13] ---
    I closed it for a while.
[23:16] ---
    But what about the store's sales?
[23:18] ---
    Don't worry.
[23:19] ---
    B-But...
[23:20] ---
    Let it go. She's here now.
[23:23] ---
    Well, I know but...
[23:26] ---
    Oh, Mom!
[23:28] ---
    Yes?
[23:30] ---
    Well... Dad was...
[23:31] ---
    Iori Models
[23:34] ---
    I'm finally back in Tokyo,
    so I came to see you, but...
[23:39] ---
    Why is it closed?
[23:41] ---
    It isn't a holiday, is it?
    Why is the store closed?!
[23:44] ---
    Are you mad because
    I've been gone so long?
[23:46] ---
    Open the store, Rin!
[23:49] ---
    Rin!
[23:50] ---
    Rin, I love you!
