[00:09] ---
It's been a long time.
[00:11] ---
I, Tatsuya Yuuki, am now the third
inheritor of the Meijin Kawaguchi name.
[00:20] ---
I have to tell you clearly that,
[00:23] ---
I won't continue your philosophy
of building Gunpla only for victory.
[00:30] ---
I'll spread its fun and enjoyment,
like the first Meijin Kawaguchi.
[00:46] ---
Yes. Like the man who taught me
the wonders of Gunpla!
[00:55] ---
I covered up my weakness by acting tough
Tsuyogari no uragawa ni yowasa wo kakushiteta
[01:00] ---
But I won't run away anymore
Nigenai yo korekara wa
[01:03] ---
Let's fly once again into the sky
Mou ichido ano sora e
[01:07] ---
I built, destroyed, and built again
Tsukuriagetemo kowashite mata tsukutte
[01:10] ---
Hundreds of times (Again and again!)
Nanbyakukai mo (Again and again!)
[01:13] ---
But I knew what it felt like to lose
Demo makeru itami ni naresugiteta
[01:17] ---
I wanted to be recognized, spinning my wheels
Mitomeraretakute karamawatte
[01:21] ---
Even if I was just acting tough
Tsuyogari miseta tokoro de
[01:23] ---
But that just made me feel empty, you know?
Sore ja jibun ga munashikunaru dake ja nai?
[01:29] ---
Uh, let's go! (It's time to wake up!)
Uh ikouka (It’s time to wake up!)
[01:31] ---
Open your eyes, your strength is clear!
Me wo samashina tsuyosa wa meikaku
[01:34] ---
Break through destiny (Fight for yourself!)
Sadame nante kowase (Fight for yourself!)
[01:37] ---
Don't look away (Fly again!)
Me sorasuna (Fly again!)
[01:39] ---
When you wish to become stronger,
Tsuyoku naritai to negau koto de
[01:44] ---
Your wings that once trembled...
Furueteta hane wa
[01:46] ---
...will cut through the darkness
Yami wo kirisaiteku
[01:50] ---
I won't be afraid, with you by my side
Kimi ga iru kara mo kowakunai yo
[01:57] ---
I grasp your hand in mine
Sono te nigitte
[02:00] ---
Because you told me...
Yowasa datte
[02:01] ---
...that my weakness is my strength
Kimi no tsuyosa to oshiete kureta kara
[02:07] ---
I was able to stand up again
Boku wa mata tachiagareta
[02:11] ---
For you, I'll overcome all pain
Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[02:18] ---
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
For you, I'll overcome all pain
Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[02:18] ---
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[02:20] ---
Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[02:25] ---
Hello, everyone!
[02:28] ---
I'm the image character of the Gunpla
Battle Championship World Tournament.
[02:31] ---
It's me, Kirara!
[02:33] ---
Kiraran.
[02:35] ---
The final round will
take place in one week.
[02:37] ---
So now, on the eve of the final battle,
[02:40] ---
a huge festival is being held
at the arena in Shizuoka.
[02:43] ---
People have gathered from
all over the world to enjoy it!
[02:49] ---
And take a look!
[02:52] ---
Look at its size!
[02:53] ---
It's a life-sized Gundam statue!
[02:56] ---
It was relocated from Odaiba
just for this festival!
[03:02] ---
Plus!
[03:04] ---
A life-size Zaku statue is being
shown for the first time!
[03:10] ---
It's the 06S commander type,
[03:12] ---
as used by Mr. Char Aznable,
the famous "Red Comet!"
[03:17] ---
They'll both be be lit up at night.
[03:19] ---
It'll be a brilliant and beautiful scene!
[03:23] ---
This is a Gunpla-building classroom.
[03:27] ---
You can build Gunpla that you've just bought,
[03:30] ---
and then battle with it at
the Free Battle corner next door.
[03:35] ---
You can even play against fighters who
participated in the World Tournament!
[03:48] ---
Darn!
[03:50] ---
At a special stage in the arena,
[03:53] ---
various talk shows and live events
will be held every day.
[03:57] ---
I'll also be holding my own mini-concert,
[04:00] ---
so please come and see me!
[04:03] ---
Kiraran.
[04:06] ---
Rin?!
[04:07] ---
I see!
[04:08] ---
She closed our store and
went to cheer for Sei.
[04:11] ---
Rats!
[04:12] ---
Why didn't I realize that?!
[04:16] ---
Because you're a spoiled kid.
[04:17] ---
Shut up!
[04:19] ---
I'm coming soon, so wait for me!
[04:21] ---
Rin!
[04:25] ---
Episode 23
Gunpla Eve
[04:36] ---
Nooo!
[04:39] ---
What happened to him?
[04:41] ---
My, there are so many people.
[04:44] ---
Everyone here is looking forward
to seeing Reiji's final battle.
[04:50] ---
It reminds me of the one
my darling participated in.
[04:53] ---
The reason Iori is so into Gunpla...
[04:56] ---
...is because he watched
his father doing this.
[04:59] ---
That's right!
[05:01] ---
Shizuoka
[05:02] ---
Shizuoka
[05:02] ---
My darling was so cool.
[05:03] ---
My darling was so cool.
[05:05] ---
Hey! Hey!
[05:08] ---
Hey, China.
[05:09] ---
I want to build my own Gunpla.
[05:13] ---
Will you help me?
[05:14] ---
Sure, of course!
[05:16] ---
Thanks!
[05:17] ---
Let's go!
[05:23] ---
It's a big success, Chairman.
[05:26] ---
Tournament attendance
and merchandise sales...
[05:29] ---
...are both up 140 percent from last year.
[05:33] ---
You've created such a great
Gunpla boom all on your own.
[05:36] ---
You're amazing, Chairman Mashita.
[05:40] ---
Big deal.
[05:42] ---
It's a piece of cake for me to
make a success out of an event like—
[05:47] ---
Wait a minute!
[05:49] ---
That's not the point!
[05:51] ---
That boy is one of the finalists!
[05:55] ---
And he even made Arista glow.
[05:59] ---
If he wins, it'll be a real problem!
[06:01] ---
I'll have to use him in commercials
and see him over and over again.
[06:06] ---
I don't want that!
[06:08] ---
I want him to go away!
[06:10] ---
Don't worry, Chairman.
[06:12] ---
You keep saying that.
[06:14] ---
But you never do anything!
[06:18] ---
Miss Baker?
[06:20] ---
You can relax this time.
[06:22] ---
Their opponent in the final round
is Meijin Kawaguchi.
[06:25] ---
There's no doubt they'll lose.
[06:28] ---
But just to make sure,
[06:30] ---
I've asked for someone's help.
[06:33] ---
Who? Who?
[06:36] ---
Come in.
[06:40] ---
Nice to meet you, Mr. Mashita.
[06:43] ---
I'm Nine Barthes of the Flana Institute.
[06:50] ---
Hey, Sei.
[06:51] ---
Is it okay not to tune up
the Star Build Strike?
[06:54] ---
There's one week until the final round.
[06:57] ---
I have to rest sometime.
[06:59] ---
By the way, this is lavish!
[07:01] ---
The contestants can eat
any food here for free.
[07:05] ---
But you're eating too much, Reiji.
[07:08] ---
There's no "too much"
at a time like this!
[07:12] ---
Want some, Mao?
[07:13] ---
I'll pass, thanks.
[07:15] ---
Mao, cheer up.
[07:18] ---
But...
[07:20] ---
Misaki's gone...
[07:22] ---
...and the Gundam X Maoh is ruined.
[07:26] ---
I...
[07:28] ---
...I've lost everything now.
[07:31] ---
You fool!
[07:33] ---
M-Master?!
[07:35] ---
Mao, what's up with you?!
[07:37] ---
You're captured by negative thoughts!
[07:40] ---
Build and fight with an unclouded heart.
[07:42] ---
Did you already forget the innermost
mystery of Gunpla Shingyo?!
[07:47] ---
Come with me!
[07:48] ---
I'll whip your rotten mind into shape!
[07:51] ---
P-Please forgive me, Master!
[07:54] ---
Master!
[07:58] ---
Now the battle is raging on!
[08:04] ---
I'll win this battle,
[08:06] ---
and I'll claim the prize!
[08:08] ---
I can't allow that.
[08:11] ---
The prize is a year's supply of Gunpla.
[08:14] ---
It'll go to me and my machine...
[08:16] ---
Flash!
[08:17] ---
The Gyan Vulcan!
[08:22] ---
Is that all you've got?
[08:24] ---
You won't defeat the Turn X,
big brother of all Gunpla!
[08:32] ---
This is the Moonlight Butterfly!
[08:38] ---
I won't let you!
[08:40] ---
You will, you will! Oh, you will!
[08:52] ---
Battle ended.
[08:54] ---
Darn you!
[08:57] ---
This is the power of the
ultimate Gyan I've created!
[09:03] ---
Oh, those guys.
[09:05] ---
Hey!
[09:06] ---
Iori, good luck with the final round!
[09:09] ---
Thank you, Gonda.
[09:11] ---
Sei, don't misunderstand me.
[09:15] ---
I didn't come here to cheer for you.
[09:18] ---
I came to observe my opponents
in next year's championship.
[09:22] ---
Sazaki... Next year, you said?
[09:26] ---
You're a pretty patient guy.
[09:27] ---
Oh, my! A new challenger has appeared!
[09:35] ---
That Gunpla is...!
[09:37] ---
The Fenice...?
[09:38] ---
No, it's...!
[09:41] ---
You haven't see me for a few days,
[09:44] ---
because I've been upgrading my partner.
[09:47] ---
And now, the prize will
go to the Italian Dandy...
[09:53] ---
...and his Gundam Fenice Rinascita!
[09:59] ---
N-Nobody told me about this!
[10:01] ---
How can my opponent be one of the
best eight in the World Tournament?!
[10:18] ---
Battle ended.
[10:20] ---
Gyan Vulcaaan!
[10:25] ---
Evvai!
[10:27] ---
He's like a little boy.
[10:29] ---
This is bullying.
[10:30] ---
Iori.
[10:33] ---
Class Rep!
[10:37] ---
Are you building a new Gunpla?
[10:40] ---
Not mine, but Miss Aila's.
[10:42] ---
Huh?
[10:46] ---
Like it says in the instructions,
[10:48] ---
put in the polycaps first
and then fit the parts together.
[10:52] ---
Like this?
[10:53] ---
Good. You're talented.
[10:56] ---
Yuuki...?
[11:05] ---
As I thought.
[11:07] ---
More people have come
to the festival than expected,
[11:09] ---
so there won't be
enough particle tanks.
[11:14] ---
Bingo.
[11:15] ---
What's up?
Are you playing detective?
[11:18] ---
C-Caroline?! Why are you here?
[11:20] ---
Why? I'm your fiancée.
[11:24] ---
Our relationship has gone forward...!
[11:31] ---
Oh, no!
[11:32] ---
Don't worry.
[11:34] ---
I'll have my butler chase it.
[11:37] ---
That truck is headed for...
[11:40] ---
...the Plavsky particle production plant.
[11:43] ---
That's where the secret of
the particle's creation lies!
[12:07] ---
What, no more challengers?
[12:12] ---
It's a Gerbera Tetra.
[12:14] ---
It's still pretty rough,
but it's built with time and care.
[12:17] ---
Thanks, Mr. Fellini.
[12:20] ---
K-Kirara?!
[12:21] ---
I built this Gunpla myself.
[12:25] ---
So don't be too hard on me.
[12:29] ---
R-Right...
[12:32] ---
Oh, don't.
[12:34] ---
Kirara...
[12:37] ---
But... this isn't bad.
[12:54] ---
Yay!
[13:06] ---
What a wonderful scene.
[13:09] ---
Everyone here enjoys Gunpla so much.
[13:13] ---
You're not the Meijin today?
[13:17] ---
That outfit makes my shoulders stiff.
[13:20] ---
Then you should quit.
[13:22] ---
You're right.
[13:24] ---
Yuuki.
[13:27] ---
You bowed out of
the regional qualifiers...
[13:30] ---
...because you became the third
Meijin Kawaguchi, right?
[13:34] ---
That's right.
[13:35] ---
I'm really sorry about that.
[13:40] ---
Let me apologize.
[13:42] ---
I'm sorry.
[13:43] ---
Don't worry.
[13:45] ---
Now we can face you on the best stage ever,
[13:48] ---
the final round of the World Tournament.
[13:50] ---
He's right.
[13:52] ---
We couldn't hope for anything more.
[13:56] ---
You two are glowing.
[14:00] ---
Iori, do you remember?
[14:03] ---
The reason I cared about you...
[14:06] ---
I said I'd tell you why
if you defeated me.
[14:09] ---
Yes.
[14:11] ---
You see, the one who taught me
the joys of Gunpla was...
[14:16] ---
...your father, Mr. Takeshi Iori.
[14:20] ---
My dad?
[14:23] ---
Back then, I was set to
inherit my stepfather's company.
[14:26] ---
I was studying abroad to learn
how to be a good leader.
[14:31] ---
In those days, I just followed
the path that was laid out for me.
[14:35] ---
Honestly, I was growing resentful.
[14:39] ---
That was when I met him.
[14:44] ---
Mr. Takeshi told me that...
[14:48] ---
...Gunpla is freedom.
[14:51] ---
You can build it as you like.
[14:52] ---
You can fight with it as you like.
[14:55] ---
Just build Gunpla as you think best,
[14:59] ---
and enjoy the battles
to your heart's content.
[15:08] ---
Gunpla gave me freedom and pleasure.
[15:14] ---
That's why I became a Meijin.
[15:16] ---
I wanted to help more people
share that pleasure.
[15:22] ---
Just like your father.
[15:28] ---
Iori. Reiji.
[15:31] ---
Let's fight a great battle
in the final round next week,
[15:35] ---
so that people all over the world
can feel the joys of Gunpla.
[15:41] ---
Yes!
[15:42] ---
You got it!
[15:43] ---
Thank you for listening to me.
[15:46] ---
Now, I can fight with all my heart.
[15:49] ---
See you in one week.
[15:51] ---
Even so, we're gonna win.
[15:53] ---
I don't intend to lose, either.
[16:05] ---
Let's do this, Sei.
[16:07] ---
Yeah.
[16:08] ---
We'll hit him with everything we've got!
[16:12] ---
I can hardly wait!
[16:14] ---
Sei, let's battle!
[16:18] ---
W-Wow!
[16:20] ---
Iori and Reiji, two of the finalists
in the World Tournament,
[16:25] ---
have suddenly decided to
fight each other unofficially!
[16:29] ---
This is truly a special match!
[16:32] ---
Please set your GP Base.
[16:39] ---
Field 1, Space.
[16:52] ---
Battle start.
[16:56] ---
Sei Iori.
[16:57] ---
Reiji.
[16:59] ---
Build Gundam Mk-II!
[17:01] ---
Beginning Gundam!
[17:03] ---
Here I go!
[17:05] ---
Let's go!
[17:17] ---
He dodged that attack!
[17:18] ---
Sei's gotten better.
[17:21] ---
Of course.
[17:22] ---
Mr. Sei's been through the
battlefield of the World Tournament.
[17:27] ---
Not bad, Sei!
[17:29] ---
Then...!
[17:31] ---
How's this?!
[17:37] ---
What?!
[17:45] ---
Good! Good!
[17:47] ---
Well, duh!
[17:48] ---
My Mk-II is superior
in terms of Gunpla quality!
[17:53] ---
Then we're evenly matched!
[17:59] ---
Iori and Reiji are having fun.
[18:01] ---
I should hurry up and
complete my own Gunpla!
[18:05] ---
Yeah.
[18:09] ---
You're good, Reiji.
[18:11] ---
But...!
[18:21] ---
I can't quit!
[18:23] ---
Yeah, me neither.
[18:26] ---
I can't quit Gunpla Battle!
[18:39] ---
Gunpla Building Class
[20:30] ---
We investigated the factory
where the truck stopped,
[20:34] ---
and ended up discovering
this underground passage...
[20:47] ---
We've walked pretty far.
[20:50] ---
Where are we now?
[20:52] ---
This point is...
[20:54] ---
Huh?
[20:55] ---
Right under the
World Tournament arena?!
[20:59] ---
Nils, look.
[21:16] ---
Th-This is...!
[21:19] ---
Wh-What is this?
[21:24] ---
It's a Plavsky particle crystal.
[21:26] ---
But it's huge.
[21:30] ---
What?!
[21:31] ---
You're an Early Genius, alright.
[21:34] ---
I never thought you'd find this place.
[21:38] ---
But now that you've seen it,
[21:41] ---
I can't just let you walk away.
[21:43] ---
Y-You're...
[21:47] ---
Prepare yourselves.
[22:05] ---
I was nibbling potato chips and it hit me
Poteto chippusu tabetetara futo omotta
[22:08] ---
(Hold dear my days)
[22:11] ---
How many years have I been eating the same thing?
Nanjuunen onaji mon tabetsuzuketeirun darou
[22:15] ---
(Fight your fears)
[22:17] ---
People tell me I need to act my age
Mou otona nandakara tte iu kedo
[22:20] ---
(I go my way)
[22:23] ---
But it's not like I can turn against something I love
Suki na mono wo kirai ni nareru wake nado nainda
[22:27] ---
(Normal life)
[22:29] ---
I put all my energy into childish things
Taai nai koto mo zenryoku toukyuu
[22:33] ---
Doesn't matter if you're young or old,
Muchuu ni nareru kodomo mo
[22:37] ---
you can lose yourself in something
Otona mo kankei nai
[22:40] ---
Let's keep on walking at the same rhythm
Kawaranai rizumu de arukitsuzukete yukou
[22:46] ---
True, our stride is a little longer now
Maa hohaba wa sukoshi dake ookiku natta keredo
[22:52] ---
The sunset from back then colors our skies today
Ano hi no yuuhi wa kyou mo sora wo someyuku
[22:58] ---
I want to be a fool tomorrow,
Nee ashita mo gojuunengo mo
[23:02] ---
and even 50 years from now
Baka yattetainda
[23:05] ---
The short-pants spirit goes on
Tsuzuite yuku hanpan supirit
[23:07] ---
Let's whistle a tune and head home
Kuchibue fuite kaerou
[23:12] ---
The never-ending short-pants spirit
Never-ending hanpan supirit
[23:15] ---
Our childhood will go on forever
Owaranai childhood
[23:29] ---
We now begin the final round of...
[23:33] ---
...the Gunpla Battle Championship
World Tournament.
[23:41] ---
Let's start.
[23:49] ---
It's time for Gunpla Battle.
