[00:00] ---
    Sei, wake up!
[00:03] ---
    Okay.
[00:06] ---
    Good morning, Mom.
[00:08] ---
    Yes, good morning.
[00:09] ---
    Where's Reiji?
[00:11] ---
    Still sleeping.
[00:14] ---
    I went to wake him up.
[00:16] ---
    But he kicked me
    and told me to shut up.
[00:19] ---
    So I left him alone.
[00:21] ---
    He's a strange boy, isn't he?
[00:24] ---
    He's so weird!
    The way he looks and acts...
[00:27] ---
    He has no common sense either.
[00:29] ---
    But...
[00:31] ---
    Yum! This is so good!
[00:34] ---
    You're too kind, Reiji.
[00:36] ---
    This vegetable stir-fry is my favorite.
[00:40] ---
    You want more?
[00:43] ---
    Sure!
[00:45] ---
    He isn't that bad.
[00:48] ---
    I'm done eating. I'm off.
[00:51] ---
    Sei, what about Reiji?
[00:53] ---
    You're the one who let him in, Mom.
[00:57] ---
    You deal with him.
[00:59] ---
    Bye.
[01:02] ---
    Why is he so mad?
[01:07] ---
    You're not alone
    Hitori janai
[01:09] ---
    You and I have this bond between us
    Bokura tsunagatteru kara
[01:12] ---
    That bond has made me want to take a step forward
    Asu e to fumidashitaku nattanda
[01:15] ---
    Let's link the colors of our dreams
    Sorezore no yume no iro wo tsunaide
[01:19] ---
    And create a bright rainbow up in the sky
    Kono sora ni azayaka na niji wo kakeyou
[01:28] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
[01:31] ---
    I don't have any merits to speak of
    Kore to itte torie mo nai
[01:34] ---
    I always felt inferior, I had no confidence
    Rettoukan to aruite jishin datte nai
[01:38] ---
    "What's so fun about that?" you asked,
    "Tte yuu ka sore de tanoshii no?" tte
[01:42] ---
    As you smiled and ran ahead of me
    Kimi wa waratte boku wo oikoshiteku
[01:46] ---
    When I'm alone inside (Flash back)
    Kokoro no naka de hitori ni naru to (Flash back)
[01:48] ---
    I synchronize with you (Mash up)
    Nara shinkuro sasete (Mash up)
[01:50] ---
    With you, I feel confident (Right now)
    Kimi to nara dekisou sa (Right now)
[01:52] ---
    Ready set go!!
[01:53] ---
    From the minute I felt you in my heart
    Hitori janai tte omoeta toki kara
[01:58] ---
    I was sure my dream would come true
    Kanaeraresou na ki ga shitanda
[02:01] ---
    With that same smile you always had,
    Kawaranai itsumo no egao no mama de
[02:06] ---
    You firmly took my hand
    Kimi wa boku no te wo tsukande
[02:08] ---
    With you, nothing is impossible
    Futari nara fukanou nante nai sa
[02:13] ---
    You're the one who made me feel this way
    Sou omoeta no wa kimi ga ita kara
[02:17] ---
    You make up for the strength that I lack
    Boku ni nai tsuyosa to kimi ga motte nai
[02:21] ---
    I will cover the powers that you lack
    Chikara wo kasanete
[02:24] ---
    Let's fly away
    Tobitatsu yo…
[02:25] ---
    Don't stand still (Don't stop)
    Tachidomaruna (Don’t stop)
[02:27] ---
    I'll be there for you (Don't cry)
    Soba ni iru kara (Don’t cry)
[02:29] ---
    You're not alone anymore
    Kimi wa mou hitori janai!
[02:31] ---
    Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright)
[02:35] ---
    Episode 2
    The Crimson Comet
[02:43] ---
    Reiji, let's do this together!
[02:45] ---
    Do what together?
[02:47] ---
    Gunpla Battle!
[02:49] ---
    I'll build the Gunpla,
    and you control it.
[02:51] ---
    Then we'll enter the championship!
[02:54] ---
    Your control skills in that battle
    were really incredible.
[02:59] ---
    With my Gunpla and your technique,
    I'm sure we can...!
[03:03] ---
    No, I can't be bothered.
[03:04] ---
    What?!
[03:06] ---
    Why? Doesn't Gunpla Battle interest you?
[03:09] ---
    Not really.
[03:10] ---
    Then why did you fight just now?
[03:12] ---
    I was just paying you back.
[03:15] ---
    I kept my promise. It's over now.
[03:18] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[03:20] ---
    Then how will you pay me back
    for last night's dinner?
[03:24] ---
    I owe that to your mom, not you.
[03:28] ---
    I was going to pay her back
    for that anyway.
[03:31] ---
    And for letting me
    stay here tonight, too.
[03:33] ---
    Stay here tonight...?
[03:36] ---
    Nighty night.
[03:42] ---
    What's wrong with you?
    You're so selfish!
[03:46] ---
    C'mon! At least brush your teeth!
[03:52] ---
    Whatever happened to
    "no matter what, I'll come running?"
[04:00] ---
    Good morning.
[04:01] ---
    You were sleeping well.
[04:04] ---
    Is bread okay for breakfast?
[04:06] ---
    Yeah, anything is fine.
[04:08] ---
    Huh? Where's Sei?
[04:10] ---
    He's gone to school.
[04:12] ---
    School? What's school?
[04:16] ---
    It's where all the children
    around Sei's age go to study.
[04:22] ---
    Wake up, Reiji.
[04:25] ---
    Hmm. School, huh...?
[04:29] ---
    From this line, you can see
    that he found it important...
[04:33] ---
    ...to pour out his true feelings
    in order to resolve the situation.
[04:37] ---
    I can't count on Reiji anymore.
[04:40] ---
    I have to fight by myself.
[04:42] ---
    My Build Strike must be fully
    equipped before the championship.
[04:47] ---
    First the weapons.
    The rifle's performance...
[04:51] ---
    Iori, can you answer this question?
[04:57] ---
    I'm fretting over it.
[04:58] ---
    If the output is too high,
    then the rifle will have to be larger,
[05:01] ---
    but that hurts the maneuverability.
    You can't fire it quickly, either.
[05:06] ---
    So I have to think of a way to
    freely change the beam output,
[05:09] ---
    without increasing
    the size of the... rifle.
[05:15] ---
    The answer is two-thirds!
[05:18] ---
    This is a literature class!
[05:22] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[05:27] ---
    Sei's mom...
[05:29] ---
    Yes?
[05:30] ---
    This is a store, right?
[05:32] ---
    That's right.
[05:34] ---
    You don't have any customers.
[05:35] ---
    I know.
[05:39] ---
    How boring.
    I came all the way here for this.
[05:48] ---
    Thanks for the notebook, China.
    It helped a lot.
[05:51] ---
    It's okay.
[05:54] ---
    I'm sorry to interrupt
    your precious break.
[05:57] ---
    Oh please, come on in!
[06:00] ---
    That's President Yuuki
    from the senior high school!
[06:02] ---
    What brings him here?
[06:06] ---
    Mr. President! I'm Kousaka
    from the class committee.
[06:08] ---
    Do you have some business here?
[06:10] ---
    No, it's not that.
[06:12] ---
    I'm not here as council president,
    but as captain of the model-building club.
[06:17] ---
    Sei Iori.
[06:20] ---
    Huh? Yuuki!
[06:22] ---
    Iori, may I speak with you
    during lunch break?
[06:27] ---
    With... me?
[06:29] ---
    Yes, please.
[06:31] ---
    Model-Building Club
[06:36] ---
    Well done, everyone!
[06:40] ---
    Especially this Old Type Zaku!
    Check out the weathering.
[06:43] ---
    It really shows how the Zeon forces
    had to deploy even old machines.
[06:48] ---
    Thank you. I built that model myself.
[06:53] ---
    You did? That's amazing!
[06:55] ---
    No, it's not as good as yours.
[06:59] ---
    To be honest, I've been to
    Iori Models a few times.
[07:04] ---
    I've been a fan of your work ever since.
[07:08] ---
    Really?
[07:11] ---
    So you came to see me because...
[07:15] ---
    You want me to join
    the model-building club?
[07:18] ---
    If so, I'm really sorry, but
    I have to help with the store.
[07:22] ---
    No, it's not about that.
[07:24] ---
    Even though I wanted that, too...
[07:27] ---
    Then...?
[07:28] ---
    Iori, I heard rumors.
[07:30] ---
    You won against Sazaki, right?
[07:33] ---
    Sazaki is famous around this district
    for his strong skills.
[07:38] ---
    You beat that guy at Gunpla Battle.
[07:42] ---
    I assume you'll be entering
    the Gunpla Battle Championship?
[07:47] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[07:48] ---
    Alright. I look forward to it!
[07:51] ---
    Now I'll be able to fight your models.
[07:53] ---
    No, no!
[07:55] ---
    You got through the championship
    preliminaries last year,
[07:58] ---
    and you even made it to
    the World Tournament.
[08:01] ---
    I won't stand a chance.
[08:04] ---
    Plus...
[08:05] ---
    Plus?
[08:06] ---
    It wasn't my own strength
    that beat Sazaki.
[08:12] ---
    I wonder what Yuuki wanted from Iori?
[08:15] ---
    He's probably asking Iori to
    join the model-building club.
[08:18] ---
    Iori's family runs a
    hobby shop, right?
[08:21] ---
    Yes, they do.
[08:23] ---
    I get it now...
[08:25] ---
    That looks delicious.
[08:27] ---
    Huh?
[08:29] ---
    Here, have some.
[08:31] ---
    Really? Thanks!
[08:35] ---
    Mmm! It's really good!
[08:38] ---
    Who is that?
[08:39] ---
    Oh yeah. This is "school," right?
[08:42] ---
    Is Sei here?
[08:43] ---
    Sei?
[08:44] ---
    Are you talking about Iori?
[08:47] ---
    Yeah, Sei Iori.
[08:49] ---
    I knew he'd be here.
[08:51] ---
    And you are...?
[08:51] ---
    Hey, you there!
    And you are...?
[08:52] ---
    Hey, you there!
[08:53] ---
    You're on the grounds of
    the Seiho Academy.
[08:56] ---
    You're not a student here, are you?
[08:59] ---
    I came to see Sei.
[09:01] ---
    I couldn't care less.
[09:03] ---
    Get out now!
[09:04] ---
    You're rude. Who are you?
[09:07] ---
    I'm an executive member
    of the student council.
[09:10] ---
    We work to protect our students
    from disruptive people like you.
[09:15] ---
    I didn't do anything.
[09:17] ---
    The fact that you're here
    is a problem already.
[09:20] ---
    Just get off school property.
[09:22] ---
    I told you, I just came to see Sei.
[09:25] ---
    Are you disobeying me?
[09:27] ---
    You messed with me first.
[09:31] ---
    You...
[09:33] ---
    What should we do?
[09:34] ---
    There's nothing we can do.
[09:37] ---
    China, where are you going?
[09:41] ---
    I see.
[09:42] ---
    Another fighter was
    controlling your Gunpla?
[09:45] ---
    Yes.
[09:46] ---
    It's because of him that
    I was able to beat Sazaki.
[09:48] ---
    Then I'm even more intrigued.
    The championship will really—
[09:52] ---
    But he says he's not
    interested in Gunpla Battle.
[09:56] ---
    So I've given up on Reiji.
[09:59] ---
    Reiji.
[10:00] ---
    So that's your partner's name.
[10:03] ---
    Iori!
[10:04] ---
    Class Rep? What's wrong?
[10:06] ---
    There's a problem!
[10:07] ---
    What kind of problem?
[10:12] ---
    Reiji! What are you doing?!
[10:14] ---
    Hey, Sei!
[10:15] ---
    Minding the store was boring,
    so I came to see you.
[10:18] ---
    What are you talking about?
    You aren't even a student here!
[10:21] ---
    That's right. You better—
[10:24] ---
    No more! Ow!
[10:26] ---
    Why are you doing this to me?
[10:30] ---
    So he's Reiji...
[10:34] ---
    Where is Reiji?
[10:36] ---
    He said he'd help with the store
    to thank me for the meals.
[10:41] ---
    But why, President?
[10:43] ---
    Why did you allow that
    outsider into the school,
[10:46] ---
    without even informing the teachers?
[10:48] ---
    What's up with him?
[10:49] ---
    Shut up.
[10:51] ---
    Sorry, Gonda.
[10:53] ---
    I forgot to tell the council executives.
[10:57] ---
    Reiji over there is someone
    I invited to this school.
[11:01] ---
    What?
[11:03] ---
    That's not true.
[11:04] ---
    Shut up.
[11:05] ---
    Not as student council president,
[11:08] ---
    but as captain of
    the model-building club.
[11:11] ---
    Reiji is an outstanding
    Gunpla Fighter.
[11:13] ---
    He beat that Sazaki.
[11:16] ---
    Isn't that right, Iori?
[11:18] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[11:19] ---
    You won against Sazaki?
    I can't believe it.
[11:23] ---
    Who's Sazaki?
[11:24] ---
    You beat him in the battle yesterday.
[11:26] ---
    Oh, that big mouth.
[11:29] ---
    You've got a big mouth yourself, kid.
[11:31] ---
    You've got one too, you gorilla.
[11:38] ---
    President, I mean Captain,
    I have a suggestion.
[11:42] ---
    Since you invited this
    talented guy all the way here,
[11:45] ---
    why not have him show off
    his ability in Gunpla Battle?
[11:50] ---
    I'll be his opponent, as a member
    of the model-building club.
[11:55] ---
    What do you say?
[11:58] ---
    Sure thing.
[11:59] ---
    But...
[12:00] ---
    You're gonna regret it.
[12:02] ---
    Alright then.
[12:04] ---
    You guys can choose whichever
    Gunpla you like from our display.
[12:09] ---
    No, that's fine.
[12:11] ---
    I have my Gunpla with me.
[12:15] ---
    Of course you do.
    You came prepared, Iori.
[12:18] ---
    But only members of our club are
    allowed to bring Gunpla to school.
[12:24] ---
    I know. I'm sorry.
[12:29] ---
    Hey, I heard Yuuki is about to
    play Gunpla Battle in the gym.
[12:32] ---
    He's fighting a freshman who
    isn't even a club member.
[12:35] ---
    Why is there a battle system here?
    It's really expensive.
[12:40] ---
    Yuuki's father is the chairman
    of the school's support association,
[12:43] ---
    and he donated a ton of money
    to the model-building club.
[12:46] ---
    Yuuki isn't just cute, he's rich too?
[12:50] ---
    If only his hobby was playing in a band
    instead of model-building.
[12:52] ---
    Come on, that gap is
    what makes him attractive.
[12:56] ---
    Look, Gonda is gonna play.
[12:58] ---
    What? It's not Yuuki?
[13:01] ---
    Who is that gorilla?
[13:02] ---
    I'm not a gorilla!
[13:04] ---
    Is that a middle school student?
[13:06] ---
    That one kid is really cute!
[13:08] ---
    Who is he?
[13:10] ---
    Iori. And that boy...
[13:13] ---
    Are you ready?
[13:15] ---
    Yes, Captain.
[13:17] ---
    We're ready.
[13:18] ---
    Anytime now.
[13:20] ---
    In that case...
[13:22] ---
    We now begin this
    Gunpla Battle exhibition match...
[13:24] ---
    ...hosted by the Seiho Academy
    model-building club.
[13:28] ---
    Please set your GP Base.
[13:36] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[13:45] ---
    It's beautiful.
[13:46] ---
    That's the light of the Plavsky particles.
[13:50] ---
    These particles, invented ten years ago,
[13:53] ---
    react only with the plastic
    from which Gunpla is made.
[13:58] ---
    By fluidly controlling the
    Plavsky particles from the outside,
[14:03] ---
    you can breathe life
    into inanimate Gunpla.
[14:07] ---
    And, thanks to
    particle transformation,
[14:10] ---
    effects such as beams and
    explosions are also added.
[14:13] ---
    The sense of realism
    is almost lifelike.
[14:17] ---
    This is Gunpla Battle, miss.
[14:21] ---
    Who is this old guy?
[14:27] ---
    Field 5, City.
[14:29] ---
    Please set your Gunpla.
[14:32] ---
    This is my Gunpla, Sumo!
[14:44] ---
    Weapons are the same
    as yesterday. Got it?
[14:46] ---
    Leave it to me.
[14:46] ---
    Battle start.
    Leave it to me.
[14:49] ---
    Piece of cake!
[14:53] ---
    Launch!
[15:04] ---
    Iori's new model is amazing.
[15:19] ---
    Reiji's control is really good!
[15:23] ---
    He's winning.
[15:25] ---
    He's a talented fighter.
[15:27] ---
    But...
[15:30] ---
    Hey, is that all?
[15:34] ---
    Above you!
[15:35] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[15:40] ---
    Gotcha!
[15:50] ---
    That was close.
[15:51] ---
    He can dodge that?
[15:54] ---
    I'm getting excited.
[15:56] ---
    You should be dead already!
[16:01] ---
    Sorry about that.
[16:04] ---
    Oh no!
[16:09] ---
    What's that?
[16:11] ---
    The stage is changing because
    they blew a hole in the colony.
[16:15] ---
    How will they fight in
    such a fierce airflow?
[16:24] ---
    Charge right up to him!
[16:25] ---
    Seriously?!
[16:26] ---
    High-output guns like that
    have a time lag before the next shot.
[16:30] ---
    Go, Reiji!
[16:32] ---
    Alright.
[16:37] ---
    You're charging against
    this headwind?! What a fool.
[16:42] ---
    He's getting away!
[16:44] ---
    My Build Strike can do it!
[16:48] ---
    Go!
[17:06] ---
    M-My Gunpla...!
[17:09] ---
    Gonda was defeated?!
[17:10] ---
    The gorilla lost!
[17:13] ---
    Don't call me a gorilla!
[17:16] ---
    Reiji.
[17:18] ---
    Ouch!
[17:28] ---
    That ended a little too quickly.
[17:32] ---
    I feel sorry for the
    audience that showed up.
[17:37] ---
    Don't you agree?
[17:40] ---
    Yes.
[17:41] ---
    I think so.
[17:44] ---
    Yuuki?
[17:47] ---
    That jerk...
[17:49] ---
    Just as I thought.
[17:52] ---
    That Gunpla was in last year's Gunpla Battle
    Championship World Tournament.
[17:56] ---
    Tatsuya Yuuki's Zaku Amazing.
[18:01] ---
    The best among all high schoolers,
    people call him the "Crimson Comet!"
[18:07] ---
    Crimson Comet...?
[18:10] ---
    Let's do this, Sei.
[18:12] ---
    Reiji?!
[18:13] ---
    He's messing with us.
[18:15] ---
    We can't run away now!
[18:19] ---
    Sorry. And thank you.
[18:22] ---
    I apologize for
    barging into the battle.
[18:25] ---
    And I'm grateful for the chance...
[18:29] ---
    ...to fight against you!
[18:31] ---
    Shut up!
[18:37] ---
    He dodged?!
[18:38] ---
    But we're upwind of him!
[18:46] ---
    He's quick.
[18:49] ---
    Rage on...
[18:55] ---
    Rage on...
[19:00] ---
    Rage on!
[19:04] ---
    Gunpla!
[19:21] ---
    It can't be...
[19:23] ---
    What was that?
[19:26] ---
    Yuuki won!
[19:28] ---
    Amazing, it only took him seconds.
[19:31] ---
    Yuuki!
    Yuuki!
[19:34] ---
    In an instant, victory can turn into defeat.
[19:38] ---
    That's the sad truth of battle.
[19:41] ---
    And the battlefield is a wasteland...
[19:45] ---
    But who is this old guy?
[19:50] ---
    That's Yuuki's Gunpla.
[19:54] ---
    It's like a comet burning crimson...
[19:58] ---
    I can't believe I lost
    in this battle of toys.
[20:09] ---
    That jerk!
[20:12] ---
    I'm irritated by that Yuuki guy.
[20:15] ---
    Barging into a battle like that.
[20:18] ---
    But Yuuki sure built a strong Gunpla.
[20:22] ---
    With its quality, and his skills,
[20:26] ---
    he really does have the ability to be
    a World Tournament contestant.
[20:30] ---
    We completely lost.
[20:32] ---
    No, we didn't!
[20:34] ---
    He said it himself!
[20:38] ---
    Let's stop the battle here.
[20:41] ---
    Judging from your machine's
    workmanship and movement,
[20:45] ---
    it appears to be incomplete.
[20:49] ---
    I want you to perfect it
    before the championship.
[20:54] ---
    I want to fight against
    your truly completed Gunpla.
[20:59] ---
    Yuuki, why are you being so...
[21:03] ---
    I'll tell you if you can beat me.
[21:06] ---
    And the championship is
    the perfect stage for that.
[21:12] ---
    He's right. This isn't settled yet.
[21:16] ---
    Sei, complete that Gunpla.
[21:19] ---
    Reiji...?
[21:21] ---
    We have to pay him back.
    Especially for the humiliation!
[21:26] ---
    Let's play Gunpla Battle!
[21:28] ---
    Are you sure?
[21:30] ---
    It's decided!
[21:33] ---
    Reiji.
[21:36] ---
    Maybe Yuuki...
[21:38] ---
    He barged into the battle
    to fire up Reiji.
[21:48] ---
    Reiji, I'll complete this Gunpla...
[21:53] ---
    The Build Strike Gundam.
    I'll make it the best...
[21:56] ---
    ...no, the strongest machine!
[22:00] ---
    I'm counting on you!
[22:02] ---
    Yeah.
[22:07] ---
    A-Are you...
[22:09] ---
    ...glowing?
[22:10] ---
    Oh, looks like it's almost time.
[22:12] ---
    See you later, Sei.
[22:22] ---
    What's going on?!
[22:25] ---
    If there's a future you want to grab
    Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[22:28] ---
    No matter how many times you get hurt,
    Nando kizutsuitemo
[22:31] ---
    focus on your dreams
    Yume wo mitakutte
[22:33] ---
    That's how we get past the present
    Ima wo koeteikunda bokutachi wa
[22:47] ---
    Somehow, I was caught up in the flow of time
    Nantonaku sugiteku toki ni nagasare
[22:53] ---
    I was just dimly moving forward
    Bonyari to susumu dake ja
[22:58] ---
    As I walked, it felt like even my footprints...
    Aruitekita michi ni ashiato sae mo
[23:04] ---
    ...were fading away
    Nokosenai ki ga shitanda
[23:08] ---
    I have a place to head to, with my fist in the air
    Kobushi wo furiagete mukau basho ga aru
[23:13] ---
    Let's try to question ourselves,
    Jibun ni toikake
[23:16] ---
    move forward with more strength
    Motto tsuyoku fumidashite miyou
[23:21] ---
    If there's a future you want to grab
    Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[23:25] ---
    No matter how many times you get hurt,
    Nando kizutsuitemo
[23:27] ---
    focus on your dreams
    Yume wo mitakutte
[23:30] ---
    Get past the present
    Ima wo koeteyuke
[23:32] ---
    I don't want to turn away from the obstacles...
    Tachihadakaru mono ni
[23:35] ---
    ...that stand in my way
    Me wo somuketakunai
[23:38] ---
    I don't wanna lose
    Maketakunainda
[23:41] ---
    What can I accomplish?
    Nani ga dekiru no ka?
[23:43] ---
    I want to believe in infinite power,
    Mugen no chikara wo shinjitai kara
[23:48] ---
    So I want us to keep challenging ourselves
    Idomi tsuzuketai
[23:51] ---
    Forever and always
    Bokura wa itsumo
[23:55] ---

    I hate you!
