    He bowed out of the battle?

    Player Susumu Sazaki

[00:15] ---
    What's going on, Sei?!
[00:15] ---
    Player Susumu Sazaki
    is the winner by default.
[00:17] ---
    Don't ask me.
[00:20] ---
    Why on earth...
[00:21] ---
    Why?!
[00:27] ---
    Student Council Room
[00:28] ---
    Yuuki, why!?
[00:31] ---
    Please tell me why you're
    bowing out of the regional—
[00:35] ---
    Hey, Iori.
[00:37] ---
    Gonda.
[00:39] ---
    President Yuuki isn't here.
[00:42] ---
    Model-Building Club Captain
    Tatsuya Yuuki isn't here, either.
[00:46] ---
    What do you mean?
[00:50] ---
    The president has...
[00:52] ---
    He's taken an indefinite
    leave from school.
[00:58] ---
    You're not alone
    Hitori janai
[01:00] ---
    You and I have this bond between us
    Bokura tsunagatteru kara
[01:03] ---
    That bond has made me want to take a step forward
    Asu e to fumidashitaku nattanda
[01:06] ---
    Let's link the colors of our dreams
    Sorezore no yume no iro wo tsunaide
[01:11] ---
    And create a bright rainbow up in the sky
    Kono sora ni azayaka na niji wo kakeyou
[01:19] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
[01:22] ---
    I don't have any merits to speak of
    Kore to itte torie mo nai
[01:25] ---
    I always felt inferior, I had no confidence
    Rettoukan to aruite jishin datte nai
[01:29] ---
    "What's so fun about that?" you asked,
    "Tte yuu ka sore de tanoshii no?" tte
[01:33] ---
    As you smiled and ran ahead of me
    Kimi wa waratte boku wo oikoshiteku
[01:37] ---
    When I'm alone inside (Flash back)
    Kokoro no naka de hitori ni naru to (Flash back)
[01:39] ---
    I synchronize with you (Mash up)
    Nara shinkuro sasete (Mash up)
[01:41] ---
    With you, I feel confident (Right now)
    Kimi to nara dekisou sa (Right now)
[01:43] ---
    Ready set go!!
[01:44] ---
    From the minute I felt you in my heart
    Hitori janai tte omoeta toki kara
[01:49] ---
    I was sure my dream would come true
    Kanaeraresou na ki ga shitanda
[01:52] ---
    With that same smile you always had,
    Kawaranai itsumo no egao no mama de
[01:57] ---
    You firmly took my hand
    Kimi wa boku no te wo tsukande
[01:59] ---
    With you, nothing is impossible
    Futari nara fukanou nante nai sa
[02:04] ---
    You're the one who made me feel this way
    Sou omoeta no wa kimi ga ita kara
[02:08] ---
    You make up for the strength that I lack
    Boku ni nai tsuyosa to kimi ga motte nai
[02:12] ---
    I will cover the powers that you lack
    Chikara wo kasanete
[02:15] ---
    Let's fly away
    Tobitatsu yo…
[02:16] ---
    Don't stand still (Don't stop)
    Tachidomaruna (Don’t stop)
[02:18] ---
    I'll be there for you (Don't cry)
    Soba ni iru kara (Don’t cry)
[02:20] ---
    You're not alone anymore
    Kimi wa mou hitori janai!
[02:22] ---
    Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright)
[02:29] ---
    Okay, okay.
[02:31] ---
    So, Tatsuya Yuuki quit Gunpla Battle,
[02:34] ---
    and then he quit that "school" thing.
[02:37] ---
    I asked why he left school,
    but nobody knows.
[02:41] ---
    Even the teachers just heard
    it was for personal reasons.
[02:44] ---
    He turned tail and ran.
[02:46] ---
    He was afraid to face our Gunpla.
[02:49] ---
    I can't believe I wanted to
    fight such a loser.
[02:53] ---
    I feel stupid.
[02:54] ---
    Stop it, Reiji.
[02:56] ---
    Well, but...
[02:57] ---
    Thanks to that, we're a step closer
    to winning the tournament, right?
[03:02] ---
    Reiji!
[03:04] ---
    Yuuki isn't like that.
[03:07] ---
    He chickened out!
[03:10] ---
    He gave up honor and pride
    and ran away from us!
[03:20] ---
    Sei.
[03:21] ---
    Don't ever talk about him again.
[03:25] ---
    Our next game is the semifinals.
[03:27] ---
    Let's win it, Sei.
[03:28] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[03:35] ---
    Episode 6
    A Reason to Battle
[03:42] ---
    We will now begin match one
    of the semifinals...
[03:45] ---
    ...in the regional qualifying tournament.
[03:49] ---
    Winning that game by default
    must've brought me luck.
[04:01] ---
    I've enhanced my Gyan Gya Gyan's
    weapons even more.
[04:05] ---
    With these, I'll get my ticket
    to enter the World Tournament!
[04:17] ---
    Up ahead!
[04:28] ---
    Reiji!
[04:29] ---
    How could you...!
[04:40] ---
    Gotcha!
[04:43] ---
    Someone like you...
[04:48] ---
    ...against someone like me...
[04:51] ---
    ...is not a worthy opponent!
[04:54] ---
    Gyan Gya Gyan!
[04:57] ---
    Battle ended.
[05:03] ---
    D-Darn it!
[05:07] ---
    Next time, my Gyan will...!
[05:11] ---
    My bad, Sei.
[05:12] ---
    I thought it'd be an easy win...
[05:16] ---
    ...so I let my guard down.
[05:18] ---
    Reiji.
[05:19] ---
    In this last battle, you seemed...
[05:21] ---
    I'm starving all of a sudden!
[05:23] ---
    Sorry, but I'm going home.
[05:28] ---
    It's good that they were able
    to advance to the final round,
[05:32] ---
    but Reiji's maneuvering seemed to be off.
[05:36] ---
    At this rate, I'm not sure
    if they'll win the upcoming final.
[05:39] ---
    Maybe he's still bothered
    that President Yuuki withdrew.
[05:45] ---
    Even so, he must get past it.
[05:48] ---
    I'm certain Reiji knows it, too...
[05:52] ---
    That someone who has
    no reason to battle cannot win.
[06:24] ---
    Trial battle ended.
[06:30] ---
    Your time was 30 seconds.
[06:32] ---
    Your accuracy was 98 percent.
[06:35] ---
    You have the best scores of all
    the fighter cadets here, Tatsuya.
[06:42] ---
    And you did it with your own Gunpla,
    not a PPSE works model.
[06:49] ---
    They'll have to choose you
    at tomorrow's ceremony,
[06:52] ---
    and you'll inherit the name
    as the third generation.
[06:59] ---
    Where are you going?
[07:02] ---
    Don't worry.
[07:04] ---
    I'll be back by tomorrow's ceremony.
[07:08] ---
    Do as you wish.
[07:11] ---
    No matter how you might act,
    this fate was one you wanted, too.
[07:34] ---
    If we'd fought against
    Yuuki's Zaku in the semifinals,
[07:41] ---
    then probably...
[07:43] ---
    No matter what he said,
    I'm sure Reiji felt the same way.
[07:48] ---
    But neither of us thought
    we'd run away from the battle.
[07:53] ---
    So then, why did Yuuki...?
[07:59] ---
    I want you to perfect it
    before the championship.
[08:05] ---
    I want to fight against
    your truly completed Gunpla.
[08:09] ---
    And the championship is
    the perfect stage for that.
[08:14] ---
    Ours is still stronger.
    We'll prove it in this tournament!
[08:19] ---
    I'm looking forward to it, as well.
[08:29] ---
    I came all the way to this world.
[08:32] ---
    What on Earth am I doing?
[08:36] ---
    Iori Models
[08:37] ---
    Sei, Miss Kousaka is here to see you.
[08:39] ---
    Sei, Miss Kousaka is here to see you.
[08:42] ---
    Okay!
[08:45] ---
    I'm sorry for calling suddenly.
[08:48] ---
    There's no need to apologize.
[08:50] ---
    You want to use our compressor, right?
[08:52] ---
    Yeah.
[08:54] ---
    Do you know how?
[08:55] ---
    I know it from the art club.
[08:57] ---
    Okay, off we go.
[08:59] ---
    Yeah!
[09:08] ---
    You're pretty good, Class Rep.
[09:10] ---
    You think?
[09:12] ---
    Isn't Reiji here today?
[09:15] ---
    No.
[09:17] ---
    Actually, I haven't seen him
    since last week's semifinals.
[09:20] ---
    He must be still bothered
    about President Yuuki.
[09:24] ---
    Probably.
[09:25] ---
    He can't hide his feelings,
    so it's pretty obvious.
[09:28] ---
    Yeah.
[09:31] ---
    I was the one who asked Reiji
    to play Gunpla Battle.
[09:35] ---
    He seemed uninterested.
[09:38] ---
    But I wanted him to
    control my Build Strike so badly.
[09:45] ---
    There was one time when
    Reiji came late to the tournament.
[09:49] ---
    I thought, if he wasn't
    interested in Gunpla,
[09:52] ---
    it's only natural that
    he wouldn't show up.
[09:55] ---
    As much as that ticked me off.
[09:57] ---
    But he did come.
[10:00] ---
    Later I heard from Mr. Ral...
[10:02] ---
    ...that he was with Mr. Ral's friends,
    training hard for Gunpla Battle.
[10:05] ---
    I see.
[10:08] ---
    He went through all that because
    he wanted to fight Yuuki.
[10:12] ---
    Now that Yuuki's gone, I can
    understand him losing his motivation.
[10:16] ---
    Will he quit Gunpla Battle altogether?
[10:19] ---
    No, never.
[10:21] ---
    Maybe it's just something I want to believe,
[10:24] ---
    but I think for Reiji, Gunpla is...
[10:29] ---
    I'm envious.
[10:32] ---
    About what?
[10:35] ---
    By the way...
[10:38] ---
    What are you staring at, Mom!?
[10:41] ---
    Please don't mind me.
[10:43] ---
    That's impossible!
[10:45] ---
    Keyaki Mall
[10:55] ---
    Go, GN-X!
[10:58] ---
    Don't lose, Asshimar!
[11:03] ---
    Take this!
[11:09] ---
    Sweets Cafe
[11:09] ---
    Oh, Reiji.
[11:12] ---
    Are you looking for
    someone to battle with?
[11:12] ---
    Sweet Bean Buns
[11:12] ---
    Are you looking for
    someone to battle with?
[11:14] ---
    Sweet Bean Buns
[11:14] ---
    Sweet Bean Buns
[11:14] ---
    Nah. Who'd wanna fight such little kids?
[11:17] ---
    Nah. Who'd wanna fight such little kids?
[11:18] ---
    That's right.
[11:19] ---
    You only started playing
    Gunpla Battle two months ago,
[11:22] ---
    but you're now a finalist
    in the qualifying tournament.
[11:26] ---
    It's no exaggeration to say
    that your ability is world-level.
[11:29] ---
    Thanks.
[11:32] ---
    When you really look at it,
    don't you think it's silly?
[11:36] ---
    What is?
[11:37] ---
    Everybody is so serious
    about playing with toys.
[11:42] ---
    Don't you like it?
[11:44] ---
    I just don't get it.
[11:46] ---
    You can quit if you like.
[11:50] ---
    Building and battling Gunpla
    is merely a hobby.
[11:54] ---
    Unlike the Mobile Suit Gundam story,
    we're not in a state of war,
[11:58] ---
    so we don't have to
    put our lives on the line.
[12:01] ---
    The fights are merely a game.
    You're absolutely right.
[12:06] ---
    But despite... No, because of this,
[12:09] ---
    people put everything they have
    into their Gunpla, and into their battles.
[12:13] ---
    Because they like it,
    they can take it seriously.
[12:18] ---
    I can see seriousness in you.
[12:23] ---
    Yes, just like that guy over there.
[12:39] ---
    Iori Models
[12:43] ---
    Reiji! What's the hurry?
[12:45] ---
    Sei, lend me your Gunpla!
[12:48] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:50] ---
    Even though the final round is almost here, I might damage it.
[12:54] ---
    I might even break it.
[12:56] ---
    But please, let me borrow it.
[12:58] ---
    Please!
[13:00] ---
    I already told you.
[13:02] ---
    This Gunpla,
[13:04] ---
    the Build Strike, is made just for you.
[13:09] ---
    Sei.
[13:12] ---
    But I'm coming along.
[13:14] ---
    He's waiting, right?
[13:28] ---
    Reiji, why are we at school?
[13:33] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[13:35] ---
    President Yuuki, why?
[13:40] ---
    Please tell us why you bowed out.
[13:44] ---
    Why you left school...
[13:46] ---
    Nevermind his reasons.
[13:48] ---
    He's standing here now
    with his Gunpla in his hands.
[13:52] ---
    That's all we need.
[13:54] ---
    Yeah, we'll find out his reason
    through this battle.
[14:01] ---
    Please set your GP Base.
[14:06] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[14:13] ---
    Field 1, Space.
[14:22] ---
    Please set your Gunpla.
[14:33] ---
    Battle start.
[14:34] ---
    Build Strike Gundam!
[14:36] ---
    Let's go!
[14:39] ---
    Zaku Amazing, Tatsuya Yuuki.
    Here I come!
[15:39] ---
    I sense it. I can sense...
[15:43] ---
    I sense their feelings.
[15:45] ---
    I thought you chickened out.
[15:47] ---
    Sorry.
[15:48] ---
    I had reasons I can't share.
[15:51] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[15:53] ---
    All I wanted to do is fight with you!
[15:58] ---
    Same here!
[16:06] ---
    Old man Ral told me,
[16:07] ---
    Gunpla is just played for pleasure.
[16:10] ---
    That's why people take it seriously!
[16:14] ---
    That's how it is for me.
[16:15] ---
    And now you, too.
[16:24] ---
    Reiji, I'll fix it no matter
    how many times it breaks!
[16:27] ---
    Go forward!
[16:34] ---
    I'll show you my seriousness!
[16:37] ---
    I'll respond to it
    with my raging spirit!
[16:50] ---
    Reiji. Yuuki.
[16:52] ---
    I can hardly sit still, Mr. Ral.
[16:55] ---
    Fellini.
[16:58] ---
    Seeing a battle like this
    gets me all fired up.
[17:12] ---
    It's not over yet!
[17:26] ---
    Tatsuya, I finally understand
    why you're so obsessed with them.
[17:31] ---
    Takeshi Iori's son, Sei Iori.
[17:35] ---
    And Reiji, a boy with control skills
    that are equal to yours.
[17:40] ---
    If you're a man, you would
    want to fight with them.
[17:44] ---
    If you're a fighter!
[18:24] ---
    Not just yet!
[18:30] ---
    Not yet.
[18:33] ---
    Yeah, not yet!
[18:46] ---
    This is our...!
[18:47] ---
    This is our...!
    This is our...!
[18:50] ---
    This is my...!
[18:52] ---
    Gunpla!
    Gunpla!
[19:07] ---
    You're amazing.
[19:10] ---
    And I was truly convinced.
[19:14] ---
    Tatsuya Yuuki,
[19:15] ---
    you're worthy of assuming the name
    as the third generation.
[19:19] ---
    I'm not thrilled with
    the victory at hand.
[19:23] ---
    What I'm aiming for...
    No, what we're aiming for is...
[19:27] ---
    ...much further away.
[19:34] ---
    I hope we'll meet again, Iori and Reiji.
[19:38] ---
    No, we'll definitely meet again.
    In the near future.
[19:42] ---
    Ah, we lost completely.
[19:44] ---
    So completely that there's
    no room for excuses.
[19:48] ---
    Yuuki was really great.
[19:52] ---
    But...
[19:53] ---
    We'll win next time.
[19:56] ---
    Yeah!
[19:58] ---
    Seeing the Gundam X Maoh that Mao built,
[20:01] ---
    and battling with Yuuki's Zaku Amazing,
[20:05] ---
    I'm filled with ideas.
[20:10] ---
    But after that battle,
    the Build Strike is...
[20:14] ---
    True, it'll be hard to fix it
    in time for the final round.
[20:19] ---
    But do you think I just sat by
    while you were gone?
[20:24] ---
    Sei, you mean...?
[20:28] ---
    We have more than one Gunpla!
[20:34] ---
    This is...
[20:36] ---
    The Build Gundam Mk-II.
[20:38] ---
    Model number RX-178B!
[20:41] ---
    It was developed by the Titans,
    an elite special unit...
[20:43] ---
    ...of the Earth Federation Forces
    created to hunt down Zeon remnants!
[20:48] ---
    In the anime setting,
[20:49] ---
    its armor and frame used
    older standard parts.
[20:52] ---
    But mine is different!
[20:53] ---
    Look here! I used the newest materials!
[20:57] ---
    I don't really get it, but...
[21:01] ---
    With this, we can fight!
[21:03] ---
    With the Gunpla you built!
[21:06] ---
    Yeah!
[21:08] ---
    Let's nail the final round!
[21:10] ---
    You know it!
[21:19] ---
    We will now begin the final round of
    the regional qualifying tournament.
[21:23] ---
    Let's go!
[21:24] ---
    Yeah.
[21:28] ---
    Our opponent is Mr. Kato,
    a regular tournament veteran.
[21:33] ---
    Who's that? Never heard of him.
[21:35] ---
    I knew you'd say that.
[21:39] ---
    If we win this, we're going
    to the World Tournament.
[21:42] ---
    And there, even more
    amazing players are waiting!
[21:51] ---
    Build Gundam Mk-II!
[21:53] ---
    Let's go!
[21:58] ---
    If there's a future you want to grab
    Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[22:02] ---
    No matter how many times you get hurt,
    Nando kizutsuitemo
[22:04] ---
    focus on your dreams
    Yume wo mitakutte
[22:07] ---
    That's how we get past the present
    Ima wo koeteikunda bokutachi wa
[22:21] ---
    Somehow, I was caught up in the flow of time
    Nantonaku sugiteku toki ni nagasare
[22:27] ---
    I was just dimly moving forward
    Bonyari to susumu dake ja
[22:32] ---
    As I walked, it felt like even my footprints...
    Aruitekita michi ni ashiato sae mo
[22:38] ---
    ...were fading away
    Nokosenai ki ga shitanda
[22:42] ---
    I have a place to head to, with my fist in the air
    Kobushi wo furiagete mukau basho ga aru
[22:47] ---
    Let's try to question ourselves,
    Jibun ni toikake
[22:50] ---
    move forward with more strength
    Motto tsuyoku fumidashite miyou
[22:55] ---
