**[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
**[22:35] ---**
With this passion in my impatient heart,
Kokoro seku mama nanika wo
**[22:39] ---**
I want to search for something
Sagashitai sono jounetsu de
**[22:44] ---**
Let's meet over and over again (with you)
Nankai mo deaou (kimi to)
**[22:48] ---**
On this journey, can you show me...
Sono tabi ni kimi wa
**[22:51] ---**
...a different truth? (let me see)
Chigau honki misete (misete yo)
**[22:56] ---**
The power to find new things (with me)
Atarashii koto (boku to) sagashi dasu chikara
