**[00:13] ---**
He bowed out of the battle?
**[00:14] ---**
Player Susumu Sazaki
is the winner by default.
**[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] ---**
If there's a future you want to grab
Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
**[22:58] ---**
No matter how many times you get hurt,
Nando kizutsuitemo
**[23:01] ---**
focus on your dreams
Yume wo mitakutte
**[23:03] ---**
Get past the present
Ima wo koeteyuke
**[23:06] ---**
I don't want to turn away from the obstacles...
Tachihadakaru mono ni
**[23:09] ---**
...that stand in my way
Me wo somuketakunai
**[23:12] ---**
I don't wanna lose
Maketakunainda
**[23:14] ---**
What can I accomplish?
Nani ga dekiru no ka?
