[00:00] ---
You're too young to be a backpacker.
[00:04] ---
Don't you have school, kid?
[00:07] ---
Don't worry, I have permission.
[00:10] ---
Now, let me show
my gratitude for the ride.
[00:15] ---
Until we get to Tokyo,
[00:18] ---
please look forward to it!
[00:23] ---
You're not alone
Hitori janai
[00:25] ---
You and I have this bond between us
Bokura tsunagatteru kara
[00:28] ---
That bond has made me want to take a step forward
Asu e to fumidashitaku nattanda
[00:31] ---
Let's link the colors of our dreams
Sorezore no yume no iro wo tsunaide
[00:35] ---
And create a bright rainbow up in the sky
Kono sora ni azayaka na niji wo kakeyou
[00:44] ---
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
[00:47] ---
I don't have any merits to speak of
Kore to itte torie mo nai
[00:50] ---
I always felt inferior, I had no confidence
Rettoukan to aruite jishin datte nai
[00:54] ---
"What's so fun about that?" you asked,
"Tte yuu ka sore de tanoshii no?" tte
[00:58] ---
As you smiled and ran ahead of me
Kimi wa waratte boku wo oikoshiteku
[01:02] ---
When I'm alone inside (Flash back)
Kokoro no naka de hitori ni naru to (Flash back)
[01:04] ---
I synchronize with you (Mash up)
Nara shinkuro sasete (Mash up)
[01:06] ---
With you, I feel confident (Right now)
Kimi to nara dekisou sa (Right now)
[01:08] ---
Ready set go!!
[01:09] ---
From the minute I felt you in my heart
Hitori janai tte omoeta toki kara
[01:14] ---
I was sure my dream would come true
Kanaeraresou na ki ga shitanda
[01:17] ---
With that same smile you always had,
Kawaranai itsumo no egao no mama de
[01:22] ---
You firmly took my hand
Kimi wa boku no te wo tsukande
[01:24] ---
With you, nothing is impossible
Futari nara fukanou nante nai sa
[01:29] ---
You're the one who made me feel this way
Sou omoeta no wa kimi ga ita kara
[01:33] ---
You make up for the strength that I lack
Boku ni nai tsuyosa to kimi ga motte nai
[01:37] ---
I will cover the powers that you lack
Chikara wo kasanete
[01:40] ---
Let's fly away
Tobitatsu yo…
[01:41] ---
Don't stand still (Don't stop)
Tachidomaruna (Don’t stop)
[01:43] ---
I'll be there for you (Don't cry)
Soba ni iru kara (Don’t cry)
[01:45] ---
You're not alone anymore
Kimi wa mou hitori janai!
[01:47] ---
Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright)
[01:56] ---
This is an HG Gouf, Mr. Ral!
[01:58] ---
That's right, Sei.
[02:00] ---
The painting is great!
[02:01] ---
The color scheme is perfect,
and it's weathered for the desert.
[02:05] ---
The heat rod can also move
thanks to this lead wire.
[02:08] ---
Very cool!
[02:12] ---
This is no Best Mecha Collection, boy!
No Best Mecha Collection!
[02:16] ---
This Gunpla's good enough
for the toughest training!
[02:19] ---
Fight with us, Mr. Ral!
[02:22] ---
No thanks.
[02:25] ---
Reiji, people don't just
build Gunpla for battles.
[02:30] ---
Some, like my HG Gouf, are built
in order to cherish the anime world...
[02:34] ---
...and faithfully replicate it.
[02:38] ---
Others are used to reproduce
anime scenes in diorama form,
[02:42] ---
or to build the mobile suit's details
according to your own interpretation.
[02:48] ---
Yes, there are many ways
to enjoy Gunpla.
[02:53] ---
Is it fun just building it
and looking at it?
[02:55] ---
Sure!
[02:57] ---
With Gunpla,
[02:59] ---
we can expand our imagination
of the Gundam world.
[03:04] ---
Oh, is that so?
[03:06] ---
Anyway, your HG Gouf is really good!
[03:10] ---
I still have plenty to learn.
[03:13] ---
I heard a rumor that there's
an amazing builder in the Kansai region.
[03:18] ---
He's about the same age as you.
[03:22] ---
Thanks, old man!
[03:24] ---
Your kids will definitely
be excited to see that!
[03:29] ---
This Gunpla is really amazing...
[03:34] ---
Let's see...
[03:35] ---
Where could you be, Sei Iori?
[03:39] ---
Episode 5
The Strongest Builder
[03:44] ---
"Kansai, boy, builder..."
[03:49] ---
There are so many.
[03:52] ---
I wonder which ones were made
by the boy Mr. Ral was talking about?
[03:57] ---
Sei, our Gunpla got damaged
in the last battle.
[04:00] ---
Don't you need to repair it?
[04:02] ---
Don't worry.
[04:03] ---
I'll have it fixed by
the quarterfinals this weekend.
[04:07] ---
Actually, I want to add something
to the Build Strike while I'm at it.
[04:12] ---
Because if we win at the quarterfinals,
[04:15] ---
our next opponent will be Yuuki.
[04:19] ---
I see.
[04:21] ---
We'll finally be able to face him.
[04:24] ---
That Tatsuya Yuuki.
[04:27] ---
I'll pay him back for
the humiliation he caused us.
[04:31] ---
On my family's honor.
[04:34] ---
Let's win, Sei!
[04:36] ---
Reiji, to be honest, I'm a bit worried.
[04:41] ---
You saw it in the third round, right?
[04:44] ---
Yuuki's Zaku had been tuned up.
[04:49] ---
When we fight with him,
he'll have upgraded it even more.
[04:54] ---
I wonder if just fixing
the Build Strike is enough.
[05:00] ---
C'mon! Don't be a 'fraidy cat!
[05:03] ---
I'll do everything I can, of course.
[05:07] ---
But I still feel like there's
something missing.
[05:11] ---
If I look at the Gunpla made by
the boy Mr. Ral talked about,
[05:14] ---
I might be able to get some hints.
[05:17] ---
Sei, believe in yourself
and your Gunpla!
[05:22] ---
You're too confident, Reiji.
[05:24] ---
How can you be so sure of yourself?
[05:27] ---
Thinking about losing is pointless.
[05:31] ---
I'm going out. Fix that Gunpla, will you?
[05:43] ---
Thank you for waiting.
[05:46] ---
Here is your Gunpla.
[05:47] ---
Huh?
[05:49] ---
It's from that gentleman.
[05:58] ---
Did you send me this Gunpla?
[06:01] ---
It's the Victory Gundam.
[06:02] ---
It has a sophisticated design
and a streamlined form.
[06:06] ---
This Gunpla is well suited
to a beauty like you.
[06:10] ---
Please take it.
[06:12] ---
Oh, I could never.
[06:14] ---
I can't accept such a beautiful piece.
[06:17] ---
Then I'll take it!
[06:20] ---
R-Reiji?!
[06:22] ---
You brat, I spent three days
building that Gunpla to rope in girls!
[06:26] ---
Anyway, why are you here?
[06:28] ---
I only came here to battle with you.
[06:32] ---
There's a guy I'd do anything to defeat.
[06:35] ---
Help me.
[06:36] ---
Is this really the time and place?!
[06:39] ---
Wait, Señorita? Where's the Señorita?
[06:42] ---
Given the atmosphere, she left.
[06:44] ---
Oh dio mio!
[06:46] ---
So let's go!
[06:47] ---
No...
[06:49] ---
What a disaster!
[07:00] ---
Rage on...
[07:02] ---
Rage on...
[07:04] ---
Rage on!
[07:05] ---
Gunpla!
[07:11] ---
There's no point in thinking ahead.
[07:14] ---
To win the next match,
[07:16] ---
I have to get this machine
into top condition.
[07:21] ---
I finally made it here.
[07:23] ---
Why am I so bad with directions?
[07:27] ---
I'm disgusted with myself.
[07:29] ---
So where's Iori Models?
[07:34] ---
Before that, I need to eat first.
[07:34] ---
Keyaki Mall
[07:39] ---
Iori.
[07:40] ---
Thanks for teaching me how to
build models the other day.
[07:44] ---
Did you finish yours?
[07:46] ---
No, I'm only halfway done.
[07:49] ---
I see.
[07:54] ---
Say, are you worried about something?
[07:57] ---
Yeah, just a little.
[08:01] ---
Would you like to come over
to my restaurant?
[08:04] ---
Have some of my dad's sherbet.
You'll feel refreshed.
[08:07] ---
Oh, I don't want to impose.
[08:09] ---
I want to thank you for the Gunpla.
[08:14] ---
Oh, my...
[08:17] ---
Dad?
[08:18] ---
Oh, China.
[08:20] ---
What's going on?
[08:21] ---
Well, this customer wants to pay
for the rest of his bill with a toy.
[08:27] ---
What?
[08:28] ---
It's not a toy, it's a Gunpla.
[08:30] ---
Please take a look.
[08:32] ---
It's well made, right?
[08:34] ---
That's not really the point...
[08:36] ---
That's...!
[08:40] ---
It's the Extreme Gundam.
Finished to perfection...
[08:44] ---
Did you build this Gunpla?
[08:47] ---
Don't look at it so close.
[08:49] ---
I'm ashamed because
I built it here quickly.
[08:52] ---
It's far from perfect.
[08:55] ---
You built this Gunpla here?
[08:57] ---
So don't stare at it too much.
[09:00] ---
How did you do this part?
[09:07] ---
Thank you for helping me out
with the manager.
[09:12] ---
I didn't do anything.
You should thank the Class Rep.
[09:15] ---
Thank you. You saved me.
[09:18] ---
No, it's fine.
[09:20] ---
I'll display that Gunpla with care.
[09:22] ---
It isn't worth that much.
[09:26] ---
I'm jealous that you have
such a cute girlfriend.
[09:32] ---
What a nice person.
[09:34] ---
You know, it sounds like
you're not from Tokyo.
[09:39] ---
What did you come here for?
[09:41] ---
There's a place I want to go.
[09:43] ---
It's a plastic model store
called Iori Models.
[09:46] ---
My place?
[09:47] ---
Huh? Did you say "my place?"
[09:49] ---
My family owns Iori Models.
[09:54] ---
Does that mean you're Sei Iori?
[09:58] ---
Yeah, I am.
[10:00] ---
I see. So it's you.
[10:05] ---
I've finally met you, Sei Iori!
[10:07] ---
My lifelong rival!
[10:11] ---
My name is Mao Yasaka.
[10:12] ---
I won the Japanese 5th Block
of the Gunpla Battle Championship,
[10:16] ---
and I want to become the best
Gunpla builder in the world!
[10:20] ---
Sei Iori, I've got hold
of you at long last—
[10:24] ---
Hey, wait! Where are you going?!
[10:27] ---
There's no time left because
I have to look after the store...
[10:31] ---
Same here.
[10:32] ---
Okay, I'll be brief.
[10:34] ---
My name is Mao Yasaka.
[10:36] ---
I won the Japanese 5th Block
of the Gunpla Battle Championship,
[10:38] ---
and I want to become the best
Gunpla builder in the world!
[10:42] ---
Do you think I attract weird people?
[10:46] ---
Yeah, I think so.
[11:28] ---
Are you satisfied? Let's—
[11:31] ---
No, not yet!
[11:35] ---
I'm not finished just yet.
[11:39] ---
If you want to stop,
then it's a win for me!
[11:42] ---
You're so stubborn.
[11:44] ---
Sorry, I'm persistent.
[11:50] ---
Yeah, you sure are!
[11:54] ---
That's one of my strengths!
[12:00] ---
Iori Models
[12:02] ---
Wow.
[12:04] ---
It cleanses my soul
to see well-built Gunpla.
[12:08] ---
Hey, China.
[12:10] ---
Is that boy Sei's friend?
[12:12] ---
I'm not sure.
[12:13] ---
I see.
[12:15] ---
They're about to become friends.
[12:18] ---
Did you build all these Gunpla here?
[12:22] ---
Well, yeah.
[12:24] ---
I see. It's just as my master said.
[12:28] ---
What is?
[12:30] ---
You see, I've loved Gunpla
ever since I was little.
[12:33] ---
To be honest, I thought
I was pretty special.
[12:37] ---
But my master...
[12:42] ---
Gunpla Shingyo School
[12:48] ---
It's a good piece.
[12:50] ---
I could tell that at a glance.
[12:53] ---
You've improved your skills, Mao.
[12:56] ---
Thank you very much, Master!
[12:58] ---
Do you finally recognize me as the
heir to the Gunpla Shingyo school?
[13:02] ---
Fool!
[13:04] ---
You're too complacent, Mao!
[13:06] ---
You think it's easy as bean-jam pie?!
[13:09] ---
Heir to the Shingyo school, you say?
[13:11] ---
Don't be full of yourself!
[13:14] ---
Master!
[13:17] ---
Mao, the world is huge.
[13:20] ---
Even I, who have mastered the Gunpla
Shingyo school, once feared a man.
[13:25] ---
R-Really?
[13:27] ---
The man's name was Takeshi Iori.
[13:31] ---
He's the owner of Iori Models,
a plastic model shop in Tokyo.
[13:35] ---
Takeshi Iori...
[13:38] ---
And he has a son named Sei.
[13:42] ---
I heard a rumor that
he's as talented as you.
[13:46] ---
First, go see that boy.
[13:49] ---
Go and learn how big the world is!
[13:53] ---
That's why I came
all the way from Kyoto.
[13:57] ---
I wonder what my dad did?
[14:00] ---
Wow, he was respected
by such a great man?
[14:03] ---
I'm so proud of my husband!
[14:06] ---
Is this where you get excited?
[14:07] ---
Sei, show him the talent
you inherited from your dad!
[14:12] ---
Stop it, Mom.
[14:14] ---
There's no need for that.
[14:17] ---
Looking at the Gunpla here,
to be honest, I was disappointed.
[14:21] ---
What do you mean?
[14:22] ---
I mean exactly what I just said.
[14:25] ---
The most important thing in the
building process is imagination.
[14:29] ---
All the Gunpla here lack it.
[14:32] ---
You just built the products nicely.
[14:36] ---
That's because they're just samples.
[14:39] ---
Then, can I see your real work?
[14:43] ---
I also have one that reflects
the results of all my training.
[14:47] ---
Will you two play Gunpla Battle?
[14:49] ---
There's no need to.
[14:51] ---
A true builder can tell which model
is better with one glance.
[14:56] ---
Right, Sei?
[14:59] ---
Okay, I'll go get it.
[15:02] ---
I commend you for not running
away from a competition.
[15:16] ---
Let's show them at the same time.
[15:19] ---
Alright.
[15:23] ---
This is my...
[15:25] ---
And this is my...
[15:27] ---
Build Strike!
[15:29] ---
Gundam X Maoh!
[15:31] ---
Th-This is...!
[15:35] ---
This Gunpla is...!
[15:40] ---
Strong!
Strong!
[15:54] ---
That machine is...
[15:55] ---
...an assault type
based on the Gundam X.
[16:02] ---
You sure know your stuff!
[16:05] ---
Yours is based on the Strike.
[16:11] ---
It has a variable-output
rifle and a chobham shield.
[16:15] ---
That backpack can detach
and transform, right?
[16:20] ---
He sees right through it. But...!
[16:32] ---
The power isn't bad either.
[16:38] ---
The plastic is reinforced, too.
[16:41] ---
Amazing. Mao's...
[16:44] ---
This Gunpla is amazing!
[16:50] ---
Why aren't they moving?
[16:53] ---
I think they're battling.
[16:56] ---
Their imaginations are
making their Gunpla move.
[17:02] ---
Don't create distance!
[17:04] ---
If I do, he'll use that
reinforced satellite cannon!
[17:07] ---
I can tell what you're thinking!
[17:16] ---
Did he compress the Plavsky
particles and release them?
[17:19] ---
Unbelievable!
[17:21] ---
That's right. Everyone can do that
in the Gunpla Shingyo school.
[17:25] ---
And now, I'll show you my
Gundam X Maoh's true worth!
[17:30] ---
Th-The moon is...
[17:34] ---
The moon is out!
[17:41] ---
It receives super microwaves from
a power generation system on the moon,
[17:46] ---
and converts them into energy.
[17:48] ---
This is the ultimate secret
of the Gunpla Shingyo school!
[17:53] ---
Hyper satellite cannon!
[18:22] ---
How do you like my Gunpla, Sei?
[18:32] ---
Wh-What?!
[18:34] ---
How did you dodge it?!
[18:37] ---
I'm impressed, Mao.
[18:39] ---
You're superior as a builder.
[18:42] ---
I admit it.
[18:44] ---
I couldn't have dodged that attack
if it had been against me.
[18:47] ---
But the regular pilot of
this Build Strike isn't me.
[18:52] ---
It's Reiji!
[18:57] ---
Reiji could dodge it
and keep fighting!
[19:02] ---
That's enough!
[19:06] ---
Let me put this match on hold.
[19:09] ---
This battle is too good to let it
finish in your imaginations.
[19:15] ---
You won't settle this in your heads,
but on a shining stage...
[19:21] ---
Yes, at the World Tournament!
[19:25] ---
The World Tournament...
[19:28] ---
I don't know who you are,
but what you said is admirable.
[19:33] ---
Sei, let's put this on hold.
[19:36] ---
Mao?
[19:37] ---
Don't get the wrong idea.
[19:39] ---
I'm sure I'm better at a
Gunpla building battle.
[19:44] ---
But if you're saying
your Gunpla's regular pilot...
[19:48] ---
...would be able to
top my imagination,
[19:52] ---
then I definitely want to face him!
[19:55] ---
I think you'll be surprised.
[20:00] ---
I have a good story to tell my master.
[20:04] ---
I'll see you at the World Tournament!
[20:09] ---
See? Just as I told you.
[20:12] ---
They became friends.
[20:14] ---
That's right.
[20:19] ---
Mao Yasaka.
[20:23] ---
In this country, no, in the world,
[20:26] ---
there are many amazing
builders like him.
[20:30] ---
I want to meet more of them.
[20:32] ---
I want to see their Gunpla.
[20:36] ---
And I want to battle with them!
[20:39] ---
With my Gunpla!
[20:53] ---
Reiji!
[20:54] ---
Alright!
[21:10] ---
Battle ended.
[21:12] ---
Iori and Reiji won!
[21:15] ---
Since he met with Mao Yasaka,
[21:17] ---
his Build Strike has
become even more perfect.
[21:21] ---
You did some really great work, Sei!
[21:24] ---
Yeah. With this,
even if he's our opponent...
[21:27] ---
Just wait, Tatsuya Yuuki.
[21:30] ---
Our Build Strike is up next!
[21:34] ---
If there's a future you want to grab
Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[21:37] ---
No matter how many times you get hurt,
Nando kizutsuitemo
[21:40] ---
focus on your dreams
Yume wo mitakutte
[21:42] ---
That's how we get past the present
Ima wo koeteikunda bokutachi wa
[21:56] ---
Somehow, I was caught up in the flow of time
Nantonaku sugiteku toki ni nagasare
[22:02] ---
I was just dimly moving forward
Bonyari to susumu dake ja
[22:07] ---
As I walked, it felt like even my footprints...
Aruitekita michi ni ashiato sae mo
[22:13] ---
...were fading away
Nokosenai ki ga shitanda
[22:17] ---
I have a place to head to, with my fist in the air
Kobushi wo furiagete mukau basho ga aru
[22:22] ---
Let's try to question ourselves,
Jibun ni toikake
[22:25] ---
move forward with more strength
Motto tsuyoku fumidashite miyou
[22:30] ---
If there's a future you want to grab
Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[22:34] ---
No matter how many times you get hurt,
Nando kizutsuitemo
[22:36] ---
focus on your dreams
Yume wo mitakutte
[22:39] ---
Get past the present
Ima wo koeteyuke
[22:41] ---
I don't want to turn away from the obstacles...
Tachihadakaru mono ni
[22:44] ---
...that stand in my way
Me wo somuketakunai
[22:47] ---
I don't wanna lose
Maketakunainda
[22:50] ---
