[00:04] ---
    How long will Sekai be practicing?
[00:08] ---
    It's almost time for dinner.
[00:14] ---
    Oh, Sekai!
[00:20] ---
    That girl...
[00:23] ---
    So you were entering
    the tournament as a player.
[00:27] ---
    Were you surprised?
[00:28] ---
    Sure I was, but...
[00:30] ---
    More than that,
[00:31] ---
    why did you teach me
    how to fix my Gunpla?
[00:36] ---
    Because your Gunpla was beautiful, Sekai.
[00:41] ---
    When a beautiful thing breaks,
    who wouldn't want to fix it?
[00:45] ---
    That may be true, but...
[00:48] ---
    In the National Tournament,
[00:50] ---
    my team might fight
    your Gunpla Academy.
[00:54] ---
    Why help out the enemy?
[00:57] ---
    I wanted you to be stronger.
[01:00] ---
    Why?
[01:03] ---
    I like strong people.
[01:08] ---
    Isn't that reason enough?
[01:11] ---
    Sh-Sh-She...
[01:16] ---
    She confessed her love?!
[01:36] ---
    Our wings couldn't wait for the wind, so we set out
    Kaze wo matsu tsubasa ga machikirezu kakedasu
[01:41] ---
    We were bathed in the light of the frozen sun
    Bokutachi wo terashita itetsuita taiyou
[01:47] ---
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh there are no limits
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh genkai nante
[01:50] ---
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh just let it go
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh sutete ikunda
[01:52] ---
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh loneliness won't break us
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh kodoku ni nante kowasenai
[02:00] ---
    At the end of the dream we'll never give up,
    Owarasenai yume no saki
[02:03] ---
    Will there be a future that can never end?
    Owarenai mirai darou
[02:05] ---
    Believe in what only you can do
    Shinjitemiro jibun dake ni dekiru koto wo
[02:11] ---
    If I could seize one thing,
    Hitotsu dake tsukamu nara
[02:14] ---
    I'd choose it without hesitation
    Mayowazu ni erabu darou
[02:16] ---
    Follow your instincts, just hold on to our bond
    Kizuna dake wo tsukamitorunda honnou
[02:22] ---
    Up to the endless sky, now! Fly away
    Hatenaki sora tobitate ima fly away
[02:46] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS TRY
[02:52] ---
    You want to be stronger, right?
[02:55] ---
    In that case, I'll build
    a beautiful Gunpla for you.
[02:58] ---
    No need for that.
    I have the Try Burning.
[03:02] ---
    If you fight with my Gunpla,
[03:04] ---
    you can get much stronger!
[03:08] ---
    Even becoming world champion in the open
    tournament would be within your reach.
[03:13] ---
    Come on. Let's do it.
[03:14] ---
    Don't decide for me.
[03:18] ---
    Honestly, I can't stand this anymore!
[03:23] ---
    S-S-S-Se...
[03:28] ---
    Sekai.
[03:29] ---
    That girl next to you. Wh-Who is she?
[03:33] ---
    Who is she to you?!
[03:37] ---
    What do you mean, to me...?
[03:41] ---
    That girl is from the Gunpla Academy.
[03:45] ---
    Sekai.
[03:48] ---
    What's with that cute gesture?!
[03:51] ---
    This feels like trouble.
[03:54] ---
    Something inside is calling me
    to level one battle stations!
[03:58] ---
    I can't let her near Sekai.
[04:01] ---
    How could you let this girl
    intrude like this?
[04:04] ---
    What are you doing, Miss Fumina?!
[04:09] ---
    What's wrong with Gyanko?
[04:11] ---
    Gyanko?
[04:13] ---
    What a funny name.
[04:15] ---
    Wh-What's so funny?!
[04:17] ---
    Are you insulting the Gyan?
[04:19] ---
    Calm down, Gyanko.
[04:20] ---
    Sekai, are you taking her side?!
[04:23] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[04:27] ---
    Please stop it.
[04:29] ---
    You're making a public scene.
[04:35] ---
    Who?
[04:36] ---
    You are...
[04:38] ---
    They're from Niigata's Toritsu Academy.
[04:44] ---
    I guess team Try Fighters
    must be totally relaxed.
[04:47] ---
    Yeah, the National Tournament
    is already in progress,
[04:50] ---
    but he's flirting with girls.
[04:52] ---
    In this situation, we'll
    easily win the second round.
[04:55] ---
    So, you're our opponent
    in the second round!
[04:59] ---
    We advise you to start
    packing your bags today.
[05:04] ---
    Sekai Kamiki.
[05:05] ---
    What did you say?
[05:11] ---
    You're going to eat those words!
[05:14] ---
    Sekai is strong.
[05:16] ---
    He won't lose to you.
[05:18] ---
    That's right!
    The winner will be...
[05:21] ---
    Us.
[05:23] ---
    Team Try Fighters!
[05:26] ---
    Hey, that's my line!
[05:32] ---
    I completely missed
    my cue to appear.
[05:37] ---
    Episode 17
    Haunted Castle Trap
[05:42] ---
    She'll build a Gunpla for Sekai?
[05:45] ---
    That girl from the Gunpla Academy
    really said that?
[05:48] ---
    She did, right?
[05:50] ---
    I don't get what girls are thinking.
[05:54] ---
    She helped me fix my Gunpla
    although I'm her enemy,
[05:57] ---
    and said that she'd build me a Gunpla.
[05:59] ---
    Sekai, you don't understand her feelings?
[06:03] ---
    Do you, Hoshino?
[06:05] ---
    Well... yes.
[06:06] ---
    Then please tell me.
[06:08] ---
    I don't want to!
[06:09] ---
    Why not?
[06:11] ---
    Because I don't want to. That's all.
[06:14] ---
    Sekai.
[06:15] ---
    Simply put, Hoshino is
    jealous of that girl from—
[06:18] ---
    Don't analyze it so calmly!
[06:21] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:22] ---
    That's enough chatting.
[06:25] ---
    Let's start the meeting.
[06:27] ---
    In the second round
    you'll fight the Niigata team.
[06:30] ---
    (Rising Power)
    Toritsu Academy will be a strong foe,
    as their name suggests.
[07:14] ---
    Pause
[07:17] ---
    That's Toritsu Academy's
    first-round battle.
[07:20] ---
    What do you think?
[07:23] ---
    Sir!
[07:24] ---
    Sekai?
[07:25] ---
    I think they're pretty tough!
[07:28] ---
    Come on, be more specific.
[07:32] ---
    Their teamwork is excellent.
[07:35] ---
    Like the Seiren Technical College
    we fought in the regional qualifiers.
[07:38] ---
    Or even better.
[07:45] ---
    That SD's construction...
[07:47] ---
    Pause
[07:48] ---
    Pause
    I assume the machine has some kind of trick.
[07:52] ---
    I think so, too.
[07:54] ---
    But what we should be
    even more careful about...
[07:57] ---
    ...is their tactics.
[07:59] ---
    They'll study our machines'
    characteristics thoroughly,
[08:03] ---
    and then devise countermeasures.
[08:06] ---
    Unless you can overcome their tactics,
    you have no chance of winning.
[08:11] ---
    Yes, sir!
    Yes, sir!
[08:16] ---
    Yuuma Kousaka's
    Lightning Gundam Full Burnern.
[08:26] ---
    Fumina Hoshino's Star Winning Gundam.
[08:37] ---
    Both are improved versions of
    the ones they used in the qualifiers.
[08:42] ---
    The Lightning's output has been
    increased by 33.4 percent.
[08:46] ---
    The Winning is newly
    equipped with funnels.
[08:49] ---
    But other than that,
    we can think of it as...
[08:51] ---
    ...the same support type
    she used in the qualifiers.
[08:55] ---
    How will we deal with Sekai
    Kamiki's Try Burning Gundam?
[08:58] ---
    Watch this video.
[09:03] ---
    It's footage from the battle with
    Wilfrid Kijima at the Nielsen Labs.
[09:10] ---
    This technique...
[09:11] ---
    Even for a world-level Gunpla,
[09:14] ---
    I'm surprised it could
    achieve such performance.
[09:22] ---
    This phenomenon is Assimilation.
[09:24] ---
    Assimilation?
[09:26] ---
    Yes.
[09:27] ---
    Through powerful auto-suggestion,
[09:29] ---
    the fighter unifies his senses
    with the Gunpla itself.
[09:34] ---
    Thanks to that placebo effect,
[09:36] ---
    the machine's performance
    is increased more than three times.
[09:40] ---
    It's a Trans-Am system
    created by the fighter.
[09:43] ---
    As long as his
    willpower holds out,
[09:46] ---
    there's no limit to
    the operating time.
[09:49] ---
    But it has a weak point.
[09:52] ---
    This is after the final match
    of the West Tokyo qualifiers.
[09:57] ---
    Why is he hurt?
[09:58] ---
    This is the nocebo effect,
    a reaction to the placebo effect.
[10:02] ---
    The damage to the Gunpla is
    reflected in the fighter's body.
[10:07] ---
    The stronger the Gunpla becomes,
[10:10] ---
    the greater the damage
    the fighter sustains.
[10:15] ---
    If you simply bent the
    Gunpla's joints backwards,
[10:18] ---
    the fighter would suffer severe pain.
[10:21] ---
    Then it's easy.
[10:22] ---
    This "Assimilation" is a sword that's
    too fragile to be called double-edged.
[10:27] ---
    But to make sure,
    we should use that.
[10:30] ---
    What?
[10:30] ---
    Seriously?
    What?
[10:33] ---
    We can't lose in the second round.
[10:37] ---
    Fully prepared, we'll win the battle.
[10:42] ---
    We now begin match four
    of the second round.
[10:46] ---
    Representing West Tokyo,
    Seiho Academy Middle School,
[10:49] ---
    team Try Fighters versus...
[10:51] ---
    ...representing Niigata,
    Toritsu Academy, team SD-R.
[10:58] ---
    Toritsu is strong, isn't it?
[11:00] ---
    Even so, Sekai's team will win!
[11:04] ---
    Yuuma...
[11:06] ---
    Don't you dare lose before our fight.
[11:12] ---
    The time has come.
[11:13] ---
    Right.
[11:18] ---
    The opponent is strong, with top-notch tactics.
[11:21] ---
    You two, brace yourselves!
[11:23] ---
    Roger!
[11:24] ---
    Yeah!
[11:25] ---
    Okay.
[11:26] ---
    Team Try Fighters.
[11:28] ---
    Go...
    Go...
[11:30] ---
    ...fight!
    ...fight!
[11:39] ---
    Let's do this.
[11:40] ---
    Right.
    Right.
[11:42] ---
    What's your prediction,
    Meijin Kawaguchi?
[11:44] ---
    It may depend on the battlefield.
[11:49] ---
    Depending on the conditions,
    the battle could be one-sided.
[11:53] ---
    Gunpla Battle, combat mode, startup.
[11:56] ---
    Model damage level, set to A.
[12:00] ---
    Please set your GP Base.
[12:03] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[12:08] ---
    Field 3, Forest.
[12:11] ---
    It's dark.
[12:13] ---
    Don't forget to switch
    to night-vision sensors.
[12:15] ---
    Yeah.
[12:15] ---
    Roger.
[12:16] ---
    Please set your Gunpla.
[12:26] ---
    Battle start.
[12:31] ---
    Fumina Hoshino, Star Winning Gundam.
[12:34] ---
    Yuuma Kousaka,
    Lightning Gundam Full Burnern.
[12:38] ---
    Sekai Kamiki, Try Burning Gundam.
[12:42] ---
    Team Try Fighters,
[12:43] ---
    here we go!
[12:44] ---
    Here I come.
[12:46] ---
    Let's go!
[12:59] ---
    Wh-What?
[13:07] ---
    That's...
[13:08] ---
    The place where we'll fight?
[13:10] ---
    This field is virtually
    custom-made for us.
[13:13] ---
    We should thank the system.
[13:17] ---
    Evidently,
[13:19] ---
    we've already won.
[13:31] ---
    It's pretty big.
[13:33] ---
    Hoshino, do you think
    our opponent is inside?
[13:36] ---
    Yes.
[13:37] ---
    Inside the castle, the Lightning's
    sniping and mobility are restricted.
[13:41] ---
    Guys, prepare for close combat.
[13:45] ---
    Are we really going in?
[13:46] ---
    Sure we are.
[13:48] ---
    If we don't hurry, we'll give
    them time to set a trap.
[13:52] ---
    Hurry up.
[13:53] ---
    Roger.
[14:06] ---
    It's spooky around here.
[14:08] ---
    I agree.
[14:09] ---
    If this were real,
    it would be a little scary.
[14:12] ---
    Hoshino.
[14:13] ---
    What is it?
[14:15] ---
    Actually...
[14:18] ---
    I hate ghosts.
[14:19] ---
    What?!
[14:22] ---
    Now you tell me.
[14:25] ---
    I'm sorry.
[15:05] ---
    -Ghosts!
[15:06] ---
    -What are you doing, Yuuma?!
    -Ghosts!
[15:07] ---
    -What are you doing, Yuuma?!
[15:10] ---
    Calm down, Yuu!
    The wall just fell down.
[15:15] ---
    Darn. Just a false alarm.
[15:17] ---
    Don't act cool!
    You need to get off me!
[15:20] ---
    I know that.
[15:22] ---
    If you don't get off,
    I can't move!
[15:24] ---
    I know, but...
[15:29] ---
    An enemy!
[15:37] ---
    Why don't you fly already?!
[15:40] ---
    My body isn't listening to me!
[15:43] ---
    Sekai, Yuu! I'll help you—
[15:58] ---
    The hole!
[15:59] ---
    Oh no!
[16:00] ---
    They've been separated.
[16:07] ---
    There must be
    a route underground.
[16:12] ---
    From there!
[16:22] ---
    Where's the underground route?
[16:26] ---
    A trap?!
[16:34] ---
    The path is blocked.
[16:36] ---
    A trap like this
    in such a short time?
[16:41] ---
    A time bomb?!
[16:50] ---
    Darn. It's completely blocked.
[16:54] ---
    Sekai, is there any way out?
[16:56] ---
    I found one, but it's no use.
[16:58] ---
    Our Gunpla wouldn't pass through.
[17:01] ---
    And I can't contact Hoshino.
[17:04] ---
    They've even cut off
    our communications.
[17:11] ---
    We're surrounded?
[17:13] ---
    Stay on guard, Sekai!
[17:22] ---
    What?! My Gunpla
    is suddenly so heavy.
[17:37] ---
    It absorbed the beam?!
[17:38] ---
    That system is...!
[17:40] ---
    The technique Sei first used
    in the 7th World Tournament.
[17:44] ---
    The Absorb System!
[17:47] ---
    This is an advanced version.
[17:49] ---
    It keeps absorbing particles
    at the target point.
[17:52] ---
    Not just beams, but even
    particles floating in space.
[17:57] ---
    If beams don't work...
[18:03] ---
    I won't let you.
[18:04] ---
    Darn it.
[18:05] ---
    I'll do it, then!
[18:20] ---
    My power is being absorbed.
[18:25] ---
    At this rate, he can't rage on.
[18:27] ---
    Sekai!
[18:30] ---
    Let's end this.
[18:36] ---
    Yuuma, the Lightning will—
[18:37] ---
    Never mind!
[18:39] ---
    We gotta hold out until
    Hoshino gets here!
[18:45] ---
    I don't have any more time.
[18:46] ---
    This might cause a cave-in, but...
[18:52] ---
    Gun bits, maximum output!
[18:56] ---
    Go!
[19:06] ---
    What happened?!
[19:10] ---
    Our bomb reached
    its time limit.
[19:13] ---
    The Star Winning is gone.
[19:14] ---
    What?!
[19:18] ---
    Yuuma!
[19:20] ---
    All that remains is
    Sekai Kamiki's Try Burning.
[19:27] ---
    Who said I was gone?!
[19:31] ---
    Hyper beam cannon!
[19:33] ---
    What?!
[19:40] ---
    Sekai! Yuu!
[19:41] ---
    Hoshino!
    Hoshino!
[19:43] ---
    How...?!
[19:45] ---
    Don't underestimate
    my Star Winning!
[19:48] ---
    Go, Star Funnels!
[19:55] ---
    I can move!
[19:57] ---
    Toshiya, the Absorb is—
[19:59] ---
    I know.
[20:00] ---
    Here comes the Assimilation.
[20:05] ---
    Our battle starts here!
[20:08] ---
    Nobu, Kazu, let's use our trump card.
[20:11] ---
    Roger that.
    Roger that.
[20:13] ---
    I'll pay you back for everything.
[20:15] ---
    Let's go!
[20:17] ---
    Jigen Haoh School!
[20:27] ---
    What's that?!
[20:29] ---
    It's bright.
[20:30] ---
    The Gunpla are glowing!
[20:32] ---
    Why?
[20:35] ---
    That particle emission level is...!
[20:37] ---
    They're using the particles
    that they've been absorbing!
[20:42] ---
    Nobu, how's the particle supply?
[20:44] ---
    93 percent. We're ready.
[20:46] ---
    Kazu.
[20:47] ---
    Each part's in good shape. No problems.
[20:50] ---
    Commence docking.
[20:51] ---
    Roger that!
    Roger that!
[20:53] ---
    SD-R formation!
    SD-R formation!
[20:58] ---
    Toritsu's Gunpla are...
[21:00] ---
    ...separating?!
[21:14] ---
    They combined!
[21:15] ---
    What's that?!
[21:16] ---
    That's...
[21:17] ---
    That figure is...!
[21:21] ---
    Th-This is Toritsu Academy's...
[21:27] ---
    Their Gunpla's true form.
[21:30] ---
    Th-This is...
[21:34] ---
    To fight the Gunpla Academy,
[21:37] ---
    we developed the ultimate machine.
    we developed the ultimate machine.
[21:40] ---
    Its name is...
[21:48] ---
    Snibal-Drago-Gira!
    Snibal-Drago-Gira!
[21:59] ---
    There's a tomorrow I want to touch
    Sawaritai ashita ga aru
[22:02] ---
    I want to prove it for myself
    Jibun de tashikametai
[22:06] ---
    Love, hate, which is it?
    Kirai suki docchi darou
[22:11] ---
    Perhaps the challenge is in the journey
    Tabun chousen wa journey
[22:14] ---
    Wandering the unknown path...
    Wakaranai michi samayoi
[22:18] ---
    ...toward abundant happiness
    Nanbaimo no yorokobi e to
[22:26] ---
    I was afraid to run
    Hashiridasu made ga kowakute
[22:29] ---
    But now that I've started, I can't stop
    Hashiridashitara tomaranai
[22:32] ---
    I must've been waiting for the go sign
    Go sign mattetanda ne
