[00:01] ---
    It's finally completed.
[00:03] ---
    Yeah.
[00:04] ---
    Equipped with a Trans-Am booster,
[00:06] ---
    it's the true form of the Amazing Exia.
[00:11] ---
    Allan.
[00:12] ---
    I swear by this Gunpla,
[00:15] ---
    tomorrow's final battle will thrill
    Gunpla fans around the world.
[00:21] ---
    Yes.
[00:24] ---
    That's not good enough!
[00:27] ---
    Ch-Chairman Mashita.
[00:29] ---
    Meijin, I want you to win.
[00:34] ---
    Otherwise, it wasn't worth
    making a works team for you.
[00:38] ---
    Of course, I'll try to win.
[00:41] ---
    But, more than that,
[00:43] ---
    I want to show the world
    what a true Meijin—
[00:45] ---
    Forget such childish thoughts!
[00:48] ---
    Just win.
[00:50] ---
    If you win, you'll get
    honor, glory and praise.
[00:54] ---
    You can have everything!
[00:57] ---
    But you must hit your opponent's
    weak points, ignore his pleas,
[01:02] ---
    and smash him until he stops moving.
[01:06] ---
    Yes, just like the second Meijin.
[01:10] ---
    N-No...
[01:12] ---
    Did you push your philosophy
    on him and make him a demon...?
[01:18] ---
    Is that bad?
[01:20] ---
    I reject your philosophy!
[01:22] ---
    Alright. Then I have no choice.
[01:28] ---
    Wh-What?!
[01:30] ---
    Allan!
[01:31] ---
    Meijin.
[01:33] ---
    I brought you a special present.
[01:38] ---
    Sorry, but this is business.
[01:42] ---
    That mask...
[01:44] ---
    It's an improved Embody.
[01:46] ---
    When you put on this,
    you'll be reborn...
[01:51] ---
    ...as a demon that pursues
    nothing other than victory.
[02:00] ---
    I covered up my weakness by acting tough
    Tsuyogari no uragawa ni yowasa wo kakushiteta
[02:05] ---
    But I won't run away anymore
    Nigenai yo korekara wa
[02:08] ---
    Let's fly once again into the sky
    Mou ichido ano sora e
[02:12] ---
    I built, destroyed, and built again
    Tsukuriagetemo kowashite mata tsukutte
[02:15] ---
    Hundreds of times (Again and again!)
    Nanbyakukai mo (Again and again!)
[02:18] ---
    But I knew what it felt like to lose
    Demo makeru itami ni naresugiteta
[02:22] ---
    I wanted to be recognized, spinning my wheels
    Mitomeraretakute karamawatte
[02:26] ---
    Even if I was just acting tough
    Tsuyogari miseta tokoro de
[02:28] ---
    But that just made me feel empty, you know?
    Sore ja jibun ga munashikunaru dake ja nai?
[02:34] ---
    Uh, let's go! (It's time to wake up!)
    Uh ikouka (It’s time to wake up!)
[02:36] ---
    Open your eyes, your strength is clear!
    Me wo samashina tsuyosa wa meikaku
[02:39] ---
    Break through destiny (Fight for yourself!)
    Sadame nante kowase (Fight for yourself!)
[02:41] ---
    Don't look away (Fly again!)
    Me sorasuna (Fly again!)
[02:44] ---
    When you wish to become stronger,
    Tsuyoku naritai to negau koto de
[02:49] ---
    Your wings that once trembled...
    Furueteta hane wa
[02:51] ---
    ...will cut through the darkness
    Yami wo kirisaiteku
[02:55] ---
    I won't be afraid, with you by my side
    Kimi ga iru kara mo kowakunai yo
[03:02] ---
    I grasp your hand in mine
    Sono te nigitte
[03:05] ---
    Because you told me...
    Yowasa datte
[03:06] ---
    ...that my weakness is my strength
    Kimi no tsuyosa to oshiete kureta kara
[03:12] ---
    I was able to stand up again
    Boku wa mata tachiagareta
[03:16] ---
    For you, I'll overcome all pain
    Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[03:23] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
    For you, I'll overcome all pain
    Kimi no tame nara donna itami mo koete
[03:23] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
    Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
    Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e
[03:25] ---
    Let's start now, and fly into the sky once again
    Koko kara mou ichido ano sora e

    Episode 24
    Dark Matter
[03:39] ---
    We now begin the final round of...
[03:42] ---
    ...the Gunpla Battle Championship
    World Tournament.
[03:57] ---
    Hey, what's with the new look?
[04:00] ---
    Are you trying to show off
    because it's the final round?
[04:10] ---
    What's this pressure
    coming from the Meijin?
[04:14] ---
    Ramba, do you recognize
    this hostile will?
[04:18] ---
    It reminds me of the second.
[04:20] ---
    It's the same as the second Meijin's.
[04:24] ---
    President Yuuki...
[04:26] ---
    He has a strange aura about him.
[04:30] ---
    I don't know what's up with him,
[04:32] ---
    but we'll find out when we fight.
[04:35] ---
    Yeah.
[04:37] ---
    Let's give it our all
    and make this a great battle!
[04:41] ---
    Yeah, man!
[04:43] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[04:49] ---
    Field 1, Space.
[04:53] ---
    Sei Iori.
[04:54] ---
    Reiji.
[04:55] ---
    Star Build Strike.
[04:56] ---
    Let's go!
[05:00] ---
    What?!
[05:05] ---
    Right out of the gate...!
[05:13] ---
    Reiji, the Absorb Shield!
[05:15] ---
    Yeah!
[05:24] ---
    It's ready!
[05:25] ---
    Okay!
[05:37] ---
    Discharge! Maximum output!
[05:39] ---
    Take this!
[05:56] ---
    What's that?!
[05:57] ---
    That's Mr. Nils's technique!
[06:17] ---
    The main camera...!
[06:27] ---
    Darn!
[06:35] ---
    Reiji!
[06:36] ---
    Iori!
    Reiji!
[06:37] ---
    Sei.
[06:38] ---
    That relentless fighting style.
[06:41] ---
    Just like the second Meijin.
[06:43] ---
    But why is Yuuki fighting like that?
[06:51] ---
    Stop the match!
[06:52] ---
    This isn't the battle he wanted!
[06:55] ---
    But Chairman Mashita wants it.
[07:00] ---
    Wh-What?!
[07:02] ---
    What's going on?!
[07:04] ---
    The Plavsky particle crystal...
[07:06] ---
    Is it resonating with something?
[07:23] ---
    Good! Defeat them!
[07:25] ---
    Defeat them!
[07:29] ---
    An effect that can interfere
    with human consciousness, eh?
[07:33] ---
    I thought Arista could only
    be used to move Gunpla.
[07:39] ---
    I had no idea we could use it
    like this, Miss Baker!
[07:42] ---
    It's thanks to PPSE's science team.
[07:46] ---
    Your wishes, your drive for victory...
[07:50] ---
    They're being amplified by
    the huge underground Arista.
[07:53] ---
    It's controlling the
    Meijin's consciousness...
[07:57] ---
    ...via the Flana Institute's improved Embody.
[08:00] ---
    Chairman, with this power,
    you could have any—
[08:04] ---
    No,
[08:05] ---
    you could have the entire world!
[08:08] ---
    Eh, I'm not interested in that.
[08:11] ---
    It would be a lot of work.
[08:13] ---
    I just want to be rich,
[08:15] ---
    and spend the rest of my life at ease.
[08:19] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[08:22] ---
    In Arian I was a petty thief.
[08:25] ---
    When I snuck into the
    treasure room of the palace,
[08:28] ---
    the Arista reacted and I was
    thrown into this world.
[08:36] ---
    I'd completely lost my bearings.
[08:38] ---
    But then I met Miss Baker,
[08:40] ---
    and we came up with the business
    of using Arista for Gunpla Battle.
[08:44] ---
    And so I succeeded in this world.
[08:49] ---
    I can't give up this position now.
[08:51] ---
    If I return to Arian,
    I'll be arrested as a criminal.
[08:56] ---
    So Prince Reiji must never
    learn my true identity!
[09:01] ---
    Win, third Meijin Kawaguchi!
[09:05] ---
    Win, and get rid of that boy!
[09:08] ---
    For the sake of my peaceful life!
[09:13] ---
    He's only aiming for the joints?!
[09:14] ---
    He's strong, but petty!
[09:17] ---
    Field change.
[09:18] ---
    What?
    What?
[09:22] ---
    The field changed!
[09:23] ---
    Why?!
[09:31] ---
    What?
[09:33] ---
    What's going on!
[09:35] ---
    The Exia is coming!
[09:42] ---
    Darn you!
[09:54] ---
    This sword...!
[10:09] ---
    How dare you!
[10:24] ---
    The Star Build Strike...!
[10:30] ---
    Iori's Gunpla is...
[10:34] ---
    I-Is this the end?
[10:41] ---
    No way...
[10:48] ---
    That's good, Meijin.
[10:54] ---
    Destroy...
[10:57] ---
    I will... destroy.
[11:05] ---
    Move! Move!
[11:07] ---
    Just move!!
[11:10] ---
    We'll fight!
[11:11] ---
    Please move!
[11:14] ---
    Star Build Strike!
[11:16] ---
    This battle isn't over yet!
[11:19] ---
    Not yet!
[11:21] ---
    That's right, Prince.
[11:25] ---
    You've caused me so much grief!
[11:29] ---
    I...
[11:32] ---
    I'm furious!
[11:37] ---
    No...
[11:38] ---
    Iori.
[11:40] ---
    Sei's Gunpla is...
[11:44] ---
    Where are you going, Takeshi?!
[11:45] ---
    I'll protest to the organizers
    about them changing the field,
[11:49] ---
    as an International
    Gunpla Battle Official Referee.
[11:52] ---
    Stop.
[11:53] ---
    I know you're worried about your son,
    but don't meddle in a battle.
[11:58] ---
    The die has been cast.
[12:02] ---
    Sei...!
[12:06] ---
    Huh? Aren't you fighting back?
[12:09] ---
    It's almost too easy.
[12:11] ---
    Chairman, it's better to
    finish it off immediately...
[12:15] ---
    It's alright.
[12:17] ---
    The Meijin's victory is certain.
[12:20] ---
    After all, my strong will
    controls the Meijin!
[12:24] ---
    What?
[12:26] ---
    Whose voice was that?
[12:29] ---
    The gem that Sei gave me...
[12:32] ---
    Who said, "controls the Meijin?"
[12:38] ---
    Could it be the Embody?!
[12:43] ---
    Yuuki...
[12:45] ---
    Why... Why...?
[12:48] ---
    Iori.
[12:50] ---
    Reiji.
[12:52] ---
    Let's fight a great battle
    in the final round next week,
[12:56] ---
    so that people all over the world
    can feel the joys of Gunpla.
[13:01] ---
    Is... Is this the kind of
    battle you meant, Yuuki?
[13:08] ---
    If so, then I...!
[13:11] ---
    Reiji.
[13:13] ---
    This voice...
[13:15] ---
    Aila?!
[13:17] ---
    Reiji. Sei. Kawaguchi is...
[13:21] ---
    What?!
[13:23] ---
    He's being controlled?!
[13:25] ---
    Could it be that mask?!
[13:32] ---
    Reiji, let's stop the battle
    and save Yuuki.
[13:35] ---
    Keep fighting, Sei.
[13:36] ---
    What?!
[13:37] ---
    We'll settle this with a battle.
[13:39] ---
    We'll awaken him and win
    the tournament all at once!
[13:48] ---
    Right?
[13:50] ---
    Oh, boy. You're stubborn!
[13:56] ---
    Let's go!
[13:57] ---
    Yeah!
[14:01] ---
    The Build Strike is...
[14:02] ---
    It's glowing!
[14:06] ---
    Purge the right shoulder!
[14:23] ---
    How did someone like you
    get controlled so easily?!
[14:28] ---
    We'll crush you!
[14:30] ---
    Prepare yourself!
[14:33] ---
    What am I doing...?
[14:37] ---
    Is the Prince's Arista doing this?
[14:41] ---
    Meijin, don't hesitate!
[14:43] ---
    Defeat that thing,
    whatever it takes!
[14:57] ---
    The Trans-Am!
[14:59] ---
    In a tight space like this?
[15:05] ---
    Where are you going?!
[15:11] ---
    Change the field!
[15:13] ---
    Mr. Barthes!
[15:15] ---
    Increase the system's output!
[15:17] ---
    B-But...
[15:19] ---
    I won't let you!
[15:50] ---
    Reiji!
[15:51] ---
    Yeah!
[16:11] ---
    Take this!!!
[16:32] ---
    This is the moment of truth.
[16:35] ---
    But the Exia is still in Trans-Am.
[16:38] ---
    Look, Sei and Reiji have...
[16:41] ---

[19:29] ---
    ...the Sei Iori and Reiji team!
[19:36] ---
    Mr. Sei and Mr. Reiji won!
[19:38] ---
    Amazing.
[19:39] ---
    Amazing, Reiji and Sei!
[19:43] ---
    Hooray, Takeshi!
[19:45] ---
    Yeah! Yeah!
[19:47] ---
    Takeshi's son is really great.
[19:52] ---
    You became the best builder
    in the world, Sei.
[19:56] ---
    And you, Reiji...
[19:58] ---
    You're the best fighter in the world!
[20:01] ---
    They won, China!
[20:03] ---
    Yeah!
[20:05] ---
    Congratulations, Iori and Reiji!
[20:09] ---
    But...
[20:10] ---
    President Yuuki is...
[20:17] ---
    Yuuki!
[20:20] ---
    Iori. Reiji.
[20:22] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:25] ---
    I ruined your final battle...
[20:28] ---
    It's okay, Yuuki.
[20:30] ---
    But...
[20:31] ---
    Let's play Gunpla Battle again.
[20:35] ---
    Let's show people all
    over the world the joys of Gunpla.
[20:41] ---
    Yeah.
[20:45] ---
    It's a promise.
[20:48] ---
    Of course. A promise.
[20:59] ---
    But first, who was controlling you?
[21:03] ---
    Where is he?
[21:08] ---
    Him?!
[21:10] ---
    PPSE's Chairman Mashita?!
[21:14] ---
    No! No!
[21:16] ---
    No!!
[21:25] ---
    Look at the particle emission level!
[21:28] ---
    Th-That's dangerous, isn't it?
[21:32] ---
    Miss. Mr. Nils.
[21:35] ---
    Sebastian!
[21:36] ---
    The system is out of control...!
[21:39] ---
    What?!
[21:40] ---
    Stop it right now!
[21:43] ---
    We can't.
[21:53] ---
    Wh-What?
[21:56] ---
    Plavsky particles?
[21:57] ---
    The arena is...!
[22:10] ---
    That's...
[22:25] ---
