[00:01] ---
I never imagined that
the boys you fought in Tokyo...
[00:04] ---
...would defeat Aila Jyrkiäinen
and advance to the final round.
[00:10] ---
Did you foresee this?
[00:11] ---
I'm not that all-knowing.
[00:15] ---
But working all night reminds me
of being at the Gunpla Academy.
[00:20] ---
It was hard as hell.
[00:23] ---
Even in my dreams,
[00:24] ---
I still recall the second Meijin's words...
[00:28] ---
"Gunpla Battle is all about victory."
[00:31] ---
"Even if the opponent is
your friend or sibling,"
[00:34] ---
"you must push them
out of your way to win."
[00:39] ---
Thanks to my severe experience
at the Gunpla Academy,
[00:43] ---
I succeeded as a builder.
[00:46] ---
I'm grateful to the second Meijin.
[00:48] ---
Of course, I'm grateful to him too.
[00:51] ---
For being a bad example.
[00:54] ---
A bad example? What do you mean?
[00:56] ---
Our semifinals opponent is...
[00:59] ---
...Sir John Ayers Mackenzie,
representing the UK.
[01:01] ---
Y-Yeah.
[01:03] ---
He's 78 years old,
[01:05] ---
the oldest contestant
in the tournament.
[01:08] ---
And...
[01:09] ---
a veteran fighter who fought
deadly battles with the second Meijin.
[01:14] ---
Commodore Mackenzie!
[01:16] ---
Oh, Lieutenant Ral.
[01:19] ---
Long time no see.
[01:20] ---
Congratulations on
advancing to the semifinals.
[01:23] ---
My opponent is the third Meijin.
[01:26] ---
I must have a fateful
connection with Meijins.
[01:33] ---
M-My heart...!
[01:34] ---
Commodore?! Hang in there!
[01:38] ---
Commodore!
[01:41] ---
I covered up my weakness by acting tough
Tsuyogari no uragawa ni yowasa wo kakushiteta
[01:46] ---
But I won't run away anymore
Nigenai yo korekara wa
[01:49] ---
Let's fly once again into the sky
Mou ichido ano sora e
[01:53] ---
I built, destroyed, and built again
Tsukuriagetemo kowashite mata tsukutte
[01:56] ---
Hundreds of times (Again and again!)
Nanbyakukai mo (Again and again!)
[01:59] ---
But I knew what it felt like to lose
Demo makeru itami ni naresugiteta
[02:03] ---
I wanted to be recognized, spinning my wheels
Mitomeraretakute karamawatte
[02:07] ---
Even if I was just acting tough
Tsuyogari miseta tokoro de
[02:09] ---
But that just made me feel empty, you know?
Sore ja jibun ga munashikunaru dake ja nai?
[02:15] ---
Uh, let's go! (It's time to wake up!)
Uh ikouka (It’s time to wake up!)
[02:17] ---
Open your eyes, your strength is clear!
Me wo samashina tsuyosa wa meikaku
[02:20] ---
Break through destiny (Fight for yourself!)
Sadame nante kowase (Fight for yourself!)
[02:22] ---
Don't look away (Fly again!)
Me sorasuna (Fly again!)
[02:25] ---
When you wish to become stronger,
Tsuyoku naritai to negau koto de
[02:30] ---
Your wings that once trembled...
Furueteta hane wa
[02:32] ---
...will cut through the darkness
Yami wo kirisaiteku
[02:36] ---
I won't be afraid, with you by my side
Kimi ga iru kara mo kowakunai yo
[02:42] ---
I grasp your hand in mine
Sono te nigitte
[02:46] ---
Because you told me...
Yowasa datte
[02:47] ---
...that my weakness is my strength
Kimi no tsuyosa to oshiete kureta kara
[02:53] ---
I was able to stand up again
Boku wa mata tachiagareta
[02:57] ---
For you, I'll overcome all pain
Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[03:04] ---
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
For you, I'll overcome all pain
Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[03:04] ---
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[03:06] ---
Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[03:12] ---
Sei. Reiji.
[03:14] ---
We brought you lunch
that we made together.
[03:17] ---
I thought you'd be fed up with
the meals in the players' village.
[03:21] ---
Th-Thanks.
[03:24] ---
What's wrong?
[03:25] ---
U-Um...
[03:27] ---
Wow!!
[03:29] ---
Is that a "Japanese bento?!"
[03:34] ---
I'm starving!
[03:36] ---
Thank you.
[03:41] ---
Sh-She has nowhere else to go,
[03:42] ---
so she suddenly moved in yesterday!
[03:44] ---
No way!
[03:46] ---
Yeah, she can't stay here.
[03:48] ---
After all, you're going out
with China, right?
[03:53] ---
I-I didn't mean it that way... We're not...!
[03:57] ---
The rice balls are yummy!
[03:58] ---
And she's just eating!
And she's just eating!
[04:00] ---
This is all chaos!
[04:04] ---
Episode 22
Meijin vs Meijin
[04:09] ---
Boys and girls in the same room?
[04:11] ---
I can't allow that!
[04:13] ---
So until the tournament ends,
[04:17] ---
Aila will stay at
the inn where I'm staying.
[04:21] ---
And after that...
[04:23] ---
I'll stay at Sei's house.
[04:25] ---
What? Our house?
[04:27] ---
Yeah. Reiji said if I had
nowhere to go, I could stay at Sei's.
[04:32] ---
Reiji.
[04:33] ---
Why didn't you ask me first?
[04:36] ---
Why not, Sei's mom?
[04:39] ---
I'm sorry. If it's too much trouble...
[04:45] ---
I'm going to stay with you, then.
[04:47] ---
Why do you say that?
[04:49] ---
Take responsibility for your own words!
[04:53] ---
It's no good.
[04:54] ---
My home is in Arian.
[04:58] ---
Arian?
[04:59] ---
Apparently Arian is the name
of a country in another world.
[05:03] ---
Reiji is a prince there, right?
[05:07] ---
Huh?
[05:08] ---
Is that true?
[05:10] ---
Impressed?
[05:15] ---
Why don't you believe me?!
[05:21] ---
Why don't you stay at the inn, too?
[05:23] ---
Are you sure?
[05:25] ---
The more, the merrier.
[05:30] ---
Sheesh. Why does
everyone laugh about it?
[05:33] ---
So...
[05:34] ---
What's your real story?
[05:36] ---
Like I told you.
[05:41] ---
Nils?
[05:43] ---
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
[05:45] ---
What do you want?
[05:47] ---
I'd like to ask Reiji a favor.
[05:50] ---
Me?
[05:53] ---
What is it?
[05:54] ---
Reiji, during yesterday's battle...
[06:00] ---
What's that light?!
[06:01] ---
What caused that phenomenon?
[06:04] ---
What, that?
[06:06] ---
This rock glowed.
[06:10] ---
That's...
[06:12] ---
Would you please lend me
that gem for a little while?
[06:18] ---
No problem.
[06:20] ---
Thanks, Reiji.
[06:22] ---
Does that gem...
[06:24] ---
...have something to do with the secret of the
Plavsky particle that you're looking for?
[06:29] ---
I can't tell until I analyze it,
[06:32] ---
but I think it's possible.
[06:40] ---
Grandpa!
[06:42] ---
Julian?
[06:43] ---
Lieutenant!
[06:45] ---
Long time no see.
[06:46] ---
J-Julian...
[06:49] ---
Grandpa!
[06:50] ---
Sorry I'm late.
[06:52] ---
No, thank you for coming all this way.
[06:55] ---
Sorry for the trouble.
[06:59] ---
I'm relieved to see you're okay.
[07:03] ---
I saw the championship on the news.
[07:06] ---
You've made it to the semifinals.
[07:08] ---
This is my first opportunity
in my 78 years of life.
[07:13] ---
But my next opponent is the Meijin.
[07:19] ---
The Meijin?!
[07:20] ---
Someone was chosen to be
the third generation?
[07:23] ---
Yes.
[07:24] ---
And he's too strong for me...
[07:30] ---
Grandpa!
[07:31] ---
J-Julian...
[07:33] ---
I don't have much time left.
[07:35] ---
Don't say that.
[07:38] ---
Please take this.
[07:41] ---
Fight in my place.
[07:44] ---
Grandpa, I quit Gunpla Battle.
[07:48] ---
This is my last wish.
[07:51] ---
Please.
[07:53] ---
Julian.
[07:54] ---
Win victory and honor
for me and the Mackenzies!
[08:03] ---
Grandpa?
[08:05] ---
Grandpa!
[08:07] ---
Please let him rest.
[08:14] ---
This is unfair, Grandpa.
[08:17] ---
If you ask me like that,
I can't decline your request.
[08:21] ---
And the battle is tomorrow.
[08:23] ---
I don't even know
what Gunpla I'll use...
[08:35] ---
This Gunpla is...!
[08:40] ---
Are you sure, Commodore?
[08:43] ---
You just deceived your grandson.
[08:45] ---
Whether it's wrong or right,
[08:47] ---
I'm not good enough
to defeat the Meijin.
[08:51] ---
But Julian will...
[08:55] ---
My grandson will...!
[08:56] ---
You're persistent, as always.
[08:59] ---
I just assessed the battlefield.
[09:04] ---
I-I had no idea...
[09:07] ---
You have no family,
nor the means to earn money.
[09:11] ---
You played Gunpla Battle to survive.
[09:14] ---
I have a weakness for stories like that!
[09:19] ---
Aila, you can stay at my house
until you find someplace to live.
[09:24] ---
Really?!
[09:25] ---
Yeah!
[09:27] ---
Besides, if you come to my house,
[09:29] ---
you can be with Reiji.
[09:31] ---
Wh-What?!
[09:35] ---
What do you mean "what?"
[09:36] ---
How cute.
[09:42] ---
Grandpa always intended
to give me this machine.
[09:48] ---
But it's been three years.
[09:50] ---
Can I do it?
[09:52] ---
Are you looking for an opponent?
[09:55] ---
Who are you?
[09:56] ---
I'm Mao Yasaka, best 16
in the World Tournament.
[10:01] ---
If you like, shall I be your opponent?
[10:04] ---
Is that okay?
[10:05] ---
I haven't battled for a while,
so I can't wait to fight!
[10:09] ---
Thanks.
[10:11] ---
But what's that Gunpla?
[10:14] ---
The joints are worn out.
[10:16] ---
I've used it for a long time.
[10:22] ---
Are you ready?
[10:23] ---
Yeah, I'm all set.
[10:26] ---
I need to blow off some steam.
[10:31] ---
So I'm playing in earnest!
[10:37] ---
It's no good.
[10:39] ---
With my limited equipment,
[10:41] ---
I can't get much data on this gem.
[10:44] ---
I'll have to ask my professor...
[10:45] ---
...to get me some help from
this country's research institutes.
[10:49] ---
Battle ended.
[10:53] ---
A free battle?
[10:57] ---
Th-That's...!
[11:00] ---
The Gundam X Maoh!
[11:02] ---
Mao! What happened to you?
[11:05] ---
T-Too strong...
[11:07] ---
What?
[11:10] ---
That Gunpla is a monster.
[11:15] ---
We got it working for now, but...
[11:17] ---
...it's only 80 percent complete.
[11:20] ---
This will do.
[11:22] ---
With this machine's potential,
I could manage as it is.
[11:25] ---
Chief Allan.
[11:26] ---
Your opponent in the semifinals
has changed their fighter.
[11:30] ---
What?
[11:32] ---
What's his name?
[11:33] ---
His registry name is Julian Mackenzie.
[11:37] ---
Julian?!
[11:38] ---
Julian Mackenzie?!
[11:41] ---
Kawaguchi...!
[11:42] ---
Allan, in tomorrow's semifinals,
[11:47] ---
we might lose.
[11:54] ---
It's a mess.
[11:55] ---
I can't believe any fighter
could hurt Mao's Gunpla so much.
[12:00] ---
Who the heck did it?
[12:02] ---
Someone called Julian.
[12:05] ---
He told me he's fighting
in the semifinals tomorrow.
[12:08] ---
In the semifinals?
[12:10] ---
Which means that person
must be Yuuki's opponent.
[12:16] ---
Julian Mackenzie.
[12:19] ---
He was the head student of the first class...
[12:22] ---
...at the Gunpla Academy, an elite
training institution for Gunpla builders.
[12:25] ---
Even people with world-level ability
had trouble getting in.
[12:30] ---
With his genius building skills,
[12:32] ---
he was the closest to being the next Meijin.
[12:36] ---
Yeah.
[12:37] ---
I also thought he was worthy
of being the third Meijin.
[12:42] ---
But he suddenly quit the Academy,
[12:46] ---
and disappeared from
the Gunpla Battle scene.
[12:49] ---
Three years later,
the genius has returned.
[12:54] ---
Kawaguchi, how many times
did you fight him at the Academy?
[12:58] ---
Seven times.
[13:00] ---
The results?
[13:03] ---
Zero wins, seven losses.
[13:06] ---
Total defeat.
[13:09] ---
Is it true, Lieutenant?!
[13:11] ---
Yeah.
[13:12] ---
The third Meijin Kawaguchi is...
[13:15] ---
...Tatsuya Yuuki.
[13:16] ---
He's that youngster you
looked after at the Gunpla Academy.
[13:21] ---
No way...
[13:23] ---
He loved Gunpla so much.
[13:26] ---
Now he's inherited the Meijin name
and the fiendish pursuit of victory?
[13:31] ---
Why?
[13:33] ---
Why, Tatsuya?
[13:38] ---
Julian!
[13:42] ---
Why did you quit the Academy?!
[13:45] ---
I entered this academy
to enjoy Gunpla.
[13:49] ---
I couldn't live my life
like the second Meijin,
[13:53] ---
trampling friends and
making enemies in order to win.
[13:59] ---
You can think that I ran away.
[14:05] ---
Julian.
[14:07] ---
You quit Gunpla
to protect your affection for it.
[14:11] ---
But I want to find my own way...
[14:15] ---
...to keep my love for Gunpla.
[14:22] ---
Tatsuya.
[14:24] ---
Have you been captured
by the second Meijin's ideology?
[14:29] ---
Wallowing in carnage,
seeking only victory...
[14:36] ---
We now begin match two
of the semifinals.
[14:41] ---
He's the one Mao told us about.
[14:43] ---
Yeah.
[14:44] ---
Mr. Julian Mackenzie.
[14:47] ---
Tatsuya.
[14:51] ---
Julian.
[14:54] ---
I made a promise to Grandpa.
[14:56] ---
Suddenly, you've become
my greatest obstacle.
[14:58] ---
But more than that,
[14:59] ---
I want to know why
you became the third Meijin.
[15:03] ---
I'll overcome you!
[15:05] ---
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[15:14] ---
Field 2, Desert.
[15:21] ---
Yuuki brought a new Gunpla!
[15:25] ---
It's a remodeled Gundam Exia.
[15:28] ---
A third-generation mobile suit developed by
the private armed organization, Celestial Being.
[15:33] ---
Battle start.
[15:37] ---
Meijin Kawaguchi,
Amazing Exia, here I come!
[15:46] ---
That's Julian's own machine,
the Gundam F91 Imagine!
[16:13] ---
They're not moving.
[16:14] ---
No, they are.
[16:16] ---
What?
[16:17] ---
They've traded blows
in their minds countless times.
[16:21] ---
It's so intense I'm getting
goose bumps all over.
[16:28] ---
The Exia is on the move!
[16:30] ---
Julian Mackenzie's F91 Imagine
is supposedly invincible.
[16:39] ---
But it's still an old Gunpla
made three years ago!
[16:50] ---
Darn!
[16:55] ---
One machine turned into three?!
[16:57] ---
They're just afterimages with mass.
[17:02] ---
When the F91 moves at high speed,
[17:04] ---
the Gunpla's paint peels off
and creates afterimages.
[17:08] ---
That's why it seemed to split.
[17:10] ---
I saw this a long time ago.
[17:13] ---
This is why Julian was called
worthy of being the next Meijin.
[17:16] ---
It's the "Back Jet Stream!"
[17:23] ---
You've improved, Tatsuya!
[17:29] ---
And you haven't lost your edge!
[17:42] ---
Tatsuya!
[17:44] ---
Why did you take on the name?
[17:46] ---
Have you yielded to
the second Meijin's ideology?!
[17:48] ---
I'd never do it for such a reason!
[17:55] ---
If you have another one,
then show me.
[17:58] ---
Your belief!
[18:00] ---
Your determination!
[18:02] ---
He's coming!
[18:03] ---
Allan, I'm resigning as Meijin for now.
[18:06] ---
What?!
[18:07] ---
I'll overcome him as Tatsuya Yuuki!
[18:11] ---
By doing so, I'll become
the Meijin I'm aiming for!
[18:26] ---
Gotcha!
[18:29] ---
Darn!
[18:37] ---
Back Jet Stream!
[18:40] ---
Turn bright red, Exia!
[18:44] ---
Trans-Am!
[19:42] ---
Tatsuya!
[19:49] ---
Darn!
[19:52] ---
This is my...
[19:55] ---
...determination!
[20:03] ---
He met all my attacks.
[20:07] ---
This isn't the fighting style
of the second Meijin.
[20:12] ---
Tatsuya.
[20:13] ---
You dared to become a Meijin, in order to
transform Gunpla into what it should be?
[20:20] ---
That's your determination?
[20:27] ---
Battle ended.
[20:31] ---
It was a splendid battle.
[20:33] ---
Wow!
[20:35] ---
Reiji is going to fight
someone that strong?
[20:38] ---
It's so exciting, Sei.
[20:40] ---
That guy's our opponent
in the final round!
[20:44] ---
That was pretty reckless.
The Trans-Am hadn't been adjusted yet.
[20:48] ---
It was the only way to win.
[20:54] ---
I'm completely defeated, Tatsuya.
[20:56] ---
No,
[20:58] ---
Meijin Kawaguchi the Third.
[21:02] ---
Without these sunglasses,
[21:04] ---
I'd have been shot down.
[21:06] ---
You should thank the Meijin's costume.
[21:09] ---
Julian, won't you come back to Gunpla?
[21:14] ---
It was going to be a one-time thing,
but that seems unlikely.
[21:18] ---
I can't stay away
from something this fun.
[21:23] ---
Meijin, let's battle again someday.
[21:28] ---
Of course.
[21:34] ---
Julian will play Gunpla again...
[21:38] ---
I should thank the third Meijin for that.
[21:42] ---
Hey, Sei, what's Trans-Am?
[21:45] ---
It's a system that temporarily
triples your particle emission.
[21:49] ---
But once it's used up,
the machine's performance plummets.
[21:53] ---
Sure sounds like a last resort.
[21:56] ---
We'll counter it with the RG system!
[21:58] ---
And then we'll win!
[22:01] ---
We're gonna win the World Tournament!
We're gonna win the World Tournament!
[22:19] ---
I was nibbling potato chips and it hit me
Poteto chippusu tabetetara futo omotta
[22:22] ---
(Hold dear my days)
[22:25] ---
How many years have I been eating the same thing?
Nanjuunen onaji mon tabetsuzuketeirun darou
[22:29] ---
(Fight your fears)
[22:31] ---
People tell me I need to act my age
Mou otona nandakara tte iu kedo
[22:34] ---
(I go my way)
[22:37] ---
But it's not like I can turn against something I love
Suki na mono wo kirai ni nareru wake nado nainda
[22:41] ---
(Normal life)
[22:42] ---
I put all my energy into childish things
Taai nai koto mo zenryoku toukyuu
[22:47] ---
Doesn't matter if you're young or old,
Muchuu ni nareru kodomo mo
[22:51] ---
you can lose yourself in something
Otona mo kankei nai
[22:54] ---
Let's keep on walking at the same rhythm
Kawaranai rizumu de arukitsuzukete yukou
[23:00] ---
True, our stride is a little longer now
Maa hohaba wa sukoshi dake ookiku natta keredo
[23:06] ---
The sunset from back then colors our skies today
Ano hi no yuuhi wa kyou mo sora wo someyuku
[23:12] ---
I want to be a fool tomorrow,
