[00:07] ---
    Hyper mega launcher incoming!
[00:09] ---
    Block it!
[00:13] ---
    Go!
    Go!
[00:21] ---
    We did it!
[00:31] ---
    Darn it.
[00:32] ---
    One more shot!
[00:35] ---
    Rifle, maximum power!
[00:37] ---
    Okay!
[00:54] ---
    The Build Strike.
[00:56] ---
    It's a customized Gunpla
    based on the Strike Gundam.
[01:00] ---
    Its main weapon is
    a medium-type beam rifle.
[01:03] ---
    Presumably, the output of
    the beam is variable.
[01:06] ---
    At high output, it rivals that
    of a hyper mega launcher.
[01:10] ---
    Such high output...
    How does the rifle endure it?
[01:15] ---
    Please look at this.
[01:17] ---
    The barrel interior probably uses
    metal parts for improved durability.
[01:23] ---
    Also, the shield withstood
    a shot from a hyper mega launcher.
[01:28] ---
    Considering its
    state of damage afterwards,
[01:31] ---
    it may be a normal shield overlaid
    with thin, narrow plastic boards.
[01:38] ---
    That would take such perseverance...
[01:41] ---
    Did that boy build it all by himself?
[01:45] ---
    It's fate.
[01:47] ---
    The builder, Sei Iori, is the son of...
[01:51] ---
    ...the runner-up in the 2nd Gunpla Battle
    Championship World Tournament,
[01:55] ---
    Takeshi Iori.
[01:59] ---
    I see. No wonder.
[02:02] ---
    Even so, our victory is certain.
[02:06] ---
    After all, a battle begins...
[02:11] ---
    ...long before you enter the battlefield.
[02:15] ---
    ...and make it!
    Open the box, just can't wait...
[02:20] ---
    Gunpla The World!
[02:23] ---
    Build it, build it, it's so exciting!
[02:25] ---
    Build Gunpla World!
[02:30] ---
    Kirara!
    Kirara!
[02:33] ---
    Thank you, everybody!
[02:37] ---
    Kiraran!
[02:41] ---
    You're not alone
    Hitori janai
[02:43] ---
    You and I have this bond between us
    Bokura tsunagatteru kara
[02:46] ---
    That bond has made me want to take a step forward
    Asu e to fumidashitaku nattanda
[02:49] ---
    Let's link the colors of our dreams
    Sorezore no yume no iro wo tsunaide
[02:53] ---
    And create a bright rainbow up in the sky
    Kono sora ni azayaka na niji wo kakeyou
[03:03] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
[03:05] ---
    I don't have any merits to speak of
    Kore to itte torie mo nai
[03:09] ---
    I always felt inferior, I had no confidence
    Rettoukan to aruite jishin datte nai
[03:12] ---
    "What's so fun about that?" you asked,
    "Tte yuu ka sore de tanoshii no?" tte
[03:16] ---
    As you smiled and ran ahead of me
    Kimi wa waratte boku wo oikoshiteku
[03:20] ---
    When I'm alone inside (Flash back)
    Kokoro no naka de hitori ni naru to (Flash back)
[03:22] ---
    I synchronize with you (Mash up)
    Nara shinkuro sasete (Mash up)
[03:24] ---
    With you, I feel confident (Right now)
    Kimi to nara dekisou sa (Right now)
[03:26] ---
    Ready set go!!
[03:27] ---
    From the minute I felt you in my heart
    Hitori janai tte omoeta toki kara
[03:32] ---
    I was sure my dream would come true
    Kanaeraresou na ki ga shitanda
[03:35] ---
    With that same smile you always had,
    Kawaranai itsumo no egao no mama de
[03:40] ---
    You firmly took my hand
    Kimi wa boku no te wo tsukande
[03:43] ---
    With you, nothing is impossible
    Futari nara fukanou nante nai sa
[03:47] ---
    You're the one who made me feel this way
    Sou omoeta no wa kimi ga ita kara
[03:51] ---
    You make up for the strength that I lack
    Boku ni nai tsuyosa to kimi ga motte nai
[03:55] ---
    I will cover the powers that you lack
    Chikara wo kasanete
[03:58] ---
    Let's fly away
    Tobitatsu yo…
[03:59] ---
    Don't stand still (Don't stop)
    Tachidomaruna (Don’t stop)
[04:01] ---
    I'll be there for you (Don't cry)
    Soba ni iru kara (Don’t cry)
[04:03] ---
    You're not alone anymore
    Kimi wa mou hitori janai!
[04:05] ---
    Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright)
[04:10] ---
    I see! You've made it through round two.
[04:14] ---
    For now, congratulations, Reiji.
[04:19] ---
    It was easy.
[04:20] ---
    With Sei's Gunpla and me,
    we can beat any—
[04:24] ---
    Not so fast.
[04:25] ---
    What?
[04:26] ---
    Gunpla has a long history that
    you still know nothing about.
[04:32] ---
    If you lower your guard,
    somebody will trip you up.
[04:38] ---
    Are you're saying that's you?
[04:41] ---
    Keep on winning, Reiji.
[04:44] ---
    I look forward to seeing you
    at the World Tournament.
[04:52] ---
    The World Tournament...
[04:55] ---
    It seems that I've got
    yet another reason not to lose.
[05:00] ---
    Right, Sei?
[05:05] ---
    Episode 4
    Gunpla Idol Kirara ☆
[05:10] ---
    Sei.
[05:12] ---
    What is it, Mom?
[05:14] ---
    Would you find the Gunpla that
    this customer is looking for?
[05:18] ---
    I don't know them quite as well.
[05:23] ---
    Thank you.
[05:27] ---
    Ah, excuse me.
[05:29] ---
    What kind of Gunpla
    are you looking for?
[05:31] ---
    I'm looking for a GM kit.
    The Cold Districts Type from 0080.
[05:36] ---
    Oh, that. It's over here.
[05:40] ---
    Is this the one?
[05:42] ---
    Yes, this is it! Thank you!
[05:45] ---
    No problem.
    Are you familiar with Gunpla?
[05:48] ---
    I love the GMs from "War in the Pocket."
[05:52] ---
    The GM Command,
    GM Command Space Type, GM Sniper II...
[05:57] ---
    The Draken-E included with
    the GM Sniper II was cute, too.
[06:01] ---
    That's the Riah forces'
    middle mobile suit, right?
[06:03] ---
    Yeah, that's it!
[06:13] ---
    You have questions about
    the Gunpla you bought the other day?
[06:18] ---
    Would you like to build it here?
[06:37] ---
    You're the one I met in
    the place called "school."
[06:41] ---
    Did you come to see Sei?
[06:46] ---
    Who's that girl?
[06:49] ---
    Hey, didn't you come to see Sei?
[06:53] ---
    What's with her?
[06:58] ---
    Hey, Sei.
[06:59] ---
    What?
[07:00] ---
    That chick in the store,
    is she your girlfriend?
[07:04] ---
    No, it's not like that.
    She's just a customer.
[07:07] ---
    You seemed to be
    hitting it off with her.
[07:10] ---
    We were talking about Gundam.
[07:13] ---
    I see. How boring.
[07:15] ---
    I've never met a girl who
    knows so much about Gundam.
[07:20] ---
    What? You're participating in the
    Gunpla Battle Championship, Sei?
[07:25] ---
    For now. I'm past round two, but...
[07:29] ---
    Wow, amazing!
[07:31] ---
    Oh, stop.
[07:33] ---
    When's the third round?
    I'll go cheer for you.
[07:36] ---
    There's no need.
    It would be embarrassing if I lost.
[07:41] ---
    I can tell from looking at your display.
[07:44] ---
    There's no doubt
    that your Gunpla are strong.
[07:48] ---
    You think?
[08:01] ---
    Good morning, Class Rep.
[08:03] ---
    Morning.
[08:05] ---
    Did you build the Gunpla
    you bought the other day?
[08:08] ---
    If have any questions, please ask me.
[08:12] ---
    Wh... What is it?
[08:14] ---
    Uh...
[08:16] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[08:19] ---
    O-Okay.
[08:21] ---
    Watercolor
    Techniques
[08:29] ---
    Huh? The girl I was talking with
    at the store yesterday?
[08:34] ---
    She was just a customer.
[08:35] ---
    We were just talking about Gunpla.
[08:38] ---
    Why do you ask?
[09:00] ---
    Iori.
[09:05] ---
    What's wrong, Kousaka?
[09:07] ---
    You dropped your bag.
[09:13] ---
    That girl...
[09:15] ---
    Do you know her?
[09:16] ---
    I think I've seen her before
    at a Gunpla Battle venue.
[09:20] ---
    But...
[09:21] ---
    I could be mistaken.
[09:27] ---
    Miss Mihoshi, why did you
    come to see me?
[09:31] ---
    Do I need a reason to come see you?
[09:35] ---
    No, it's not like that.
[09:37] ---
    But how did you know that
    I go to Seiho Academy?
[09:41] ---
    Oh, that was...
[09:43] ---
    ...feminine intuition!
[09:47] ---
    You're like a Newtype.
[09:49] ---
    Oh, yeah. Would you like some tea?
[09:51] ---
    Thank you. I'll have some.
[09:59] ---
    Um, so...
[10:01] ---
    You see, I was wondering
[10:02] ---
    if I could see the Gunpla you
    made for the championship.
[10:07] ---
    Sure, I have it with me right now.
[10:10] ---
    Here.
[10:11] ---
    It's as cool as I expected!
[10:13] ---
    Can I touch it?
[10:15] ---
    Sure.
[10:17] ---
    Wow. It's based on the Strike.
[10:20] ---
    You really know it well.
[10:23] ---
    Impressive. Its rifle and shield
    are completely original...
[10:27] ---
    It must've taken you days.
[10:29] ---
    Yeah, sort of.
[10:31] ---
    Is this backpack transformable?
[10:34] ---
    Yes. And don't tell anyone,
[10:36] ---
    but there's a gimmick to this backpack.
[10:40] ---
    Really? What is it?
[10:43] ---
    Well...
[10:47] ---
    Excuse me. I need to use the bathroom.
[10:51] ---
    Yeah, I'll wait here.
[10:53] ---
    Okay.
[11:10] ---
    Excuse me.
[11:12] ---
    That's Iori's Gunpla...
[11:14] ---
    Yeah, I asked him to show it to me.
[11:19] ---
    Who are you, anyway?
[11:22] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[11:26] ---
    Huh? Class Rep?
[11:28] ---
    Why are you here?
[11:32] ---
    I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea.
[11:37] ---
    Sei was just showing me his Gunpla.
[11:40] ---
    So don't worry.
[11:42] ---
    Thank you, Sei.
[11:44] ---
    I'll see you at the store again.
[11:47] ---
    Oh, yes. Thank you.
[11:52] ---
    Um, Class Rep?
[12:01] ---
    I see.
[12:05] ---
    So this is youth.
[12:21] ---
    Are you leaving, miss?
[12:23] ---
    It's that weird old guy.
[12:25] ---
    You must be here because
    you're interested in Gunpla Battle.
[12:29] ---
    Let's go.
[12:30] ---
    Um...
[12:31] ---
    Where we're going,
    you'll see ultimate battles.
[12:34] ---
    Besides, you can get in for free.
[12:36] ---
    It's not that...
[12:59] ---
    In the third round of the
    regional qualifying tournament,
[13:02] ---
    the winner of match one
    is Tatsuya Yuuki.
[13:05] ---
    His Zaku's been tuned up even more.
[13:08] ---
    He's really something.
[13:10] ---
    His Gunpla was already so perfect.
[13:13] ---
    Ours is still stronger.
    We'll prove it in this tournament!
[13:18] ---
    I'm looking forward to it, as well.
[13:21] ---
    But before that, you should
    concentrate on round three.
[13:25] ---
    Your next opponent has won
    the first two rounds by default.
[13:30] ---
    Keep your guard up.
[13:32] ---
    By default?
[13:33] ---
    You've got a problem with—
[13:34] ---
    We shall now begin match seven.
[13:38] ---
    It's our turn. Let's go, Sei!
[13:39] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[13:47] ---
    Their battle is just about to begin.
[13:51] ---
    Iori.
[13:54] ---
    One, two...
[13:56] ---
    Kirara!
    Kirara!
[14:09] ---
    Open the box, just can't wait...
[14:12] ---
    Gunpla The World!
[14:15] ---
    Build it, build it, it's so exciting!
[14:17] ---
    Build Gunpla World!
[14:23] ---
    Hi. I'm your idol, Kirara!
[14:28] ---
    Kiraran.
[14:29] ---
    Kiraran!
    Kiraran!
[14:32] ---
    What the heck is that?
[14:33] ---
    Don't ask me.
    What the heck is that?
[14:33] ---
    Don't ask me.
[14:35] ---
    That girl...
[14:37] ---
    Kirara!
[14:38] ---
    He's a fan?!
[14:42] ---
    I see, she's...
[14:45] ---
    Be careful, Iori.
[14:49] ---
    Hello, I'm Kirara.
[14:51] ---
    Don't be too hard on me.
[14:53] ---
    Let's finish this quick.
[14:55] ---
    Don't get distracted, okay?
[15:00] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[15:09] ---
    Field 5, City.
[15:13] ---
    Please set your Gunpla.
[15:20] ---
    Battle start.
[15:23] ---
    Build Strike Gundam.
[15:25] ---
    Let's go!
[15:28] ---
    Kirara, here I go!
[15:34] ---
    The Gerbera Tetra!
[15:36] ---
    It was originally going to be
    the prototype Gundam Unit 4.
[15:40] ---
    You're a smart guy.
[15:41] ---
    So what?!
[15:50] ---
    So fast!
[15:52] ---
    Big deal!
[15:57] ---
    What?!
[15:58] ---
    Why?
    What?!
[16:14] ---
    What's going on?!
[16:15] ---
    Sei!
[16:16] ---
    How is this possible...?
[16:23] ---
    The joint parts are scratched.
[16:26] ---
    How'd that happen?
[16:28] ---
    I haven't allowed anyone to
    touch the Build Strike.
[16:33] ---
    No... It can't be...
[16:36] ---
    Yes, you're right. Kiraran.
[16:40] ---
    Are you Miss Mihoshi?!
[16:43] ---
    As I thought...
[16:45] ---
    Miss Mihoshi...
[16:47] ---
    She came to me knowing that
    I was her next opponent?
[16:50] ---
    And she scratched my Gunpla on purpose...
[16:55] ---
    A battle begins long before
    you enter the battlefield.
[16:59] ---
    Go, Gerbera Tetra!
[17:10] ---
    Darn you!
[17:12] ---
    Miss Mihoshi, are you happy
    winning battles like this?
[17:15] ---
    Doing something so dirty to win
    just brings shame to your Gunpla!
[17:20] ---
    You're sweet, Sei.
[17:22] ---
    But I'm not interested
    in Gundam or Gunpla.
[17:25] ---
    My agency decided to promote me
    as an Akihabara-style Gunpla idol.
[17:30] ---
    So I studied intensively.
[17:33] ---
    I watched over 20 anime series
    that I don't understand well.
[17:36] ---
    I memorized names
    like Zaku and Gouf.
[17:39] ---
    And I mastered plastic model
    construction and techniques.
[17:43] ---
    Sometimes, I wondered
    if I was an idol or a modeler.
[17:51] ---
    But I kept working hard...
[17:54] ---
    To make my dream come true!
[17:58] ---
    Yes, to become a top idol!
[18:02] ---
    That's not true! If you
    didn't really like Gunpla,
[18:06] ---
    you couldn't have built
    such a strong Gerbera Tetra!
[18:09] ---
    Who said I built it myself?
[18:12] ---
    Huh?
[18:15] ---
    I had my fans build it
    in exchange for two-shot photos.
[18:21] ---
    I'll do whatever it takes
    to win this battle.
[18:24] ---
    If I win, I'll get media exposure.
[18:27] ---
    The more they cover me,
    the more famous I'll become.
[18:30] ---
    I'll be able to debut as a singer,
    and release my first album.
[18:33] ---
    There's a shining stage...
[18:36] ---
    ...waiting for me in the big arena!
[18:42] ---
    The shield!
[18:43] ---
    I'm sorry, Sei.
[18:44] ---
    I'll make it up by
    sending you arena tickets!
[18:51] ---
    Oh no!
[18:51] ---
    Iori!
[18:53] ---
    Sei!
[18:56] ---
    Reiji, the twelfth slot.
[19:05] ---
    What?!
[19:09] ---
    The backpack transformed!
[19:11] ---
    It's a fighter... No, a booster?
[19:15] ---
    What the heck is that?
[19:18] ---
    There's a gimmick to this backpack.
[19:21] ---
    That's what he was talking about?!
[19:28] ---
    Your name's Kirara, right?
[19:30] ---
    I don't hate people who
    challenge the impossible.
[19:35] ---
    I like daring people like you.
[19:38] ---
    But...
[19:40] ---
    We also have reasons
    why we can't lose!
[19:55] ---
    Battle ended.
[19:58] ---
    No way. My dream...
[20:01] ---
    Kirara's dream...
[20:13] ---
    Sei, don't let it get you down.
[20:17] ---
    Now I can't chat with her
    about Gundam anymore.
[20:21] ---
    What? I thought you had a thing for her.
[20:25] ---
    No way. I told you,
    she's just a customer.
[20:30] ---
    I know! If I teach her
    the joys of Gunpla,
[20:33] ---
    I bet she'll come to love it!
[20:37] ---
    All that effort for nothing!
[20:39] ---
    Let's try again together!
[20:41] ---
    I'll build you a stronger Gunpla!
[20:43] ---
    I can't wait another year!
[20:49] ---
    Fat chance.
[20:52] ---
    Congratulations, Sei and Reiji.
[20:54] ---
    Thank you, Mr. Ral.
[20:56] ---
    It was rough going, though.
[20:58] ---
    A warrior grows by facing
    hardship and overcoming it.
[21:07] ---
    Iori.
[21:08] ---
    Class Rep, you came to cheer for me?
[21:11] ---
    Congratulations, Iori and Reiji.
[21:13] ---
    Thank you.
[21:14] ---
    Thanks, Class Rep.
[21:18] ---
    And...
[21:20] ---
    What is it?
[21:21] ---
    I'm not sure how to build
    the Gunpla I bought from you.
[21:25] ---
    Will you teach me sometime?
[21:28] ---
    Of course.
[21:30] ---
    You wanna come to my store right now?
[21:35] ---
    Yeah, let's go.
[21:47] ---
    If there's a future you want to grab
    Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[21:50] ---
    No matter how many times you get hurt,
    Nando kizutsuitemo
[21:53] ---
    focus on your dreams
    Yume wo mitakutte
[21:55] ---
    That's how we get past the present
    Ima wo koeteikunda bokutachi wa
[22:09] ---
    Somehow, I was caught up in the flow of time
    Nantonaku sugiteku toki ni nagasare
[22:15] ---
    I was just dimly moving forward
    Bonyari to susumu dake ja
[22:20] ---
    As I walked, it felt like even my footprints...
    Aruitekita michi ni ashiato sae mo
[22:26] ---
    ...were fading away
    Nokosenai ki ga shitanda
[22:30] ---
    I have a place to head to, with my fist in the air
    Kobushi wo furiagete mukau basho ga aru
[22:35] ---
    Let's try to question ourselves,
    Jibun ni toikake
[22:38] ---
    move forward with more strength
    Motto tsuyoku fumidashite miyou
[22:43] ---
    If there's a future you want to grab
    Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[22:46] ---
    No matter how many times you get hurt,
    Nando kizutsuitemo
[22:49] ---
    focus on your dreams
    Yume wo mitakutte
[22:52] ---
    Get past the present
    Ima wo koeteyuke
[22:54] ---
    I don't want to turn away from the obstacles...
    Tachihadakaru mono ni
[22:57] ---
    ...that stand in my way
    Me wo somuketakunai
[23:00] ---
    I don't wanna lose
    Maketakunainda
[23:03] ---
    What can I accomplish?
    Nani ga dekiru no ka?
[23:05] ---
    I want to believe in infinite power,
    Mugen no chikara wo shinjitai kara
[23:10] ---
    So I want us to keep challenging ourselves
    Idomi tsuzuketai
[23:13] ---
    Forever and always
    Bokura wa itsumo
[23:24] ---
    Well done, Iori.
[23:26] ---
    You've easily surpassed
    what I anticipated.
[23:28] ---
    I can't afford to slack off.
[23:30] ---
    Tatsuya.
[23:33] ---
    Allan! Why are you here?
[23:36] ---
    Tatsuya, listen to me carefully.
[23:39] ---
    The Meijin has fallen ill.
[23:41] ---
    The Meijin?!
[23:43] ---
    That's why I'm here.
[23:47] ---
    To bring you with me,
[23:49] ---
    and to make you leave
    the name "Yuuki" behind.
