[00:03] ---
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[00:09] ---
The Plavsky particle.
[00:11] ---
This is the name of a special particle...
[00:15] ---
...invented by the Plavsky Particle
System Engineering Company, or PPSE.
[00:31] ---
These particles react with the plastic
from which Gunpla is made.
[00:35] ---
By fluidly controlling the particles,
[00:38] ---
the normally immobile Gunpla can be
manipulated as the controller wishes.
[00:45] ---
And through the use of
particle transformation,
[00:48] ---
effects such as beams, missiles,
and explosions can be reproduced.
[01:06] ---
Any thoughts, Professor?
[01:10] ---
Are you seriously going to do research
on a particle that only moves toys?
[01:15] ---
You, the one they call the "Early Genius!"
[01:20] ---
Professor, may I speak?
[01:22] ---
Did you know Plavsky particles are made
by bonding antiparticles together?
[01:29] ---
I-Is that right?
[01:31] ---
This technology could be
applied to other fields of study.
[01:34] ---
However, PPSE only uses this
revolutionary particle to move toys.
[01:41] ---
Besides, the manufacturing method
is kept completely secret.
[01:45] ---
Either they're scared of their
technology being leaked and misused,
[01:49] ---
or there's some other reason.
[01:52] ---
Professor, I...
[01:54] ---
...I have to discover
the secret of this particle.
[02:01] ---
You're not alone
Hitori janai
[02:03] ---
You and I have this bond between us
Bokura tsunagatteru kara
[02:06] ---
That bond has made me want to take a step forward
Asu e to fumidashitaku nattanda
[02:09] ---
Let's link the colors of our dreams
Sorezore no yume no iro wo tsunaide
[02:14] ---
And create a bright rainbow up in the sky
Kono sora ni azayaka na niji wo kakeyou
[02:22] ---
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
[02:25] ---
I don't have any merits to speak of
Kore to itte torie mo nai
[02:28] ---
I always felt inferior, I had no confidence
Rettoukan to aruite jishin datte nai
[02:32] ---
"What's so fun about that?" you asked,
"Tte yuu ka sore de tanoshii no?" tte
[02:36] ---
As you smiled and ran ahead of me
Kimi wa waratte boku wo oikoshiteku
[02:40] ---
When I'm alone inside (Flash back)
Kokoro no naka de hitori ni naru to (Flash back)
[02:42] ---
I synchronize with you (Mash up)
Nara shinkuro sasete (Mash up)
[02:44] ---
With you, I feel confident (Right now)
Kimi to nara dekisou sa (Right now)
[02:46] ---
Ready set go!!
[02:47] ---
From the minute I felt you in my heart
Hitori janai tte omoeta toki kara
[02:52] ---
I was sure my dream would come true
Kanaeraresou na ki ga shitanda
[02:55] ---
With that same smile you always had,
Kawaranai itsumo no egao no mama de
[03:00] ---
You firmly took my hand
Kimi wa boku no te wo tsukande
[03:03] ---
With you, nothing is impossible
Futari nara fukanou nante nai sa
[03:07] ---
You're the one who made me feel this way
Sou omoeta no wa kimi ga ita kara
[03:11] ---
You make up for the strength that I lack
Boku ni nai tsuyosa to kimi ga motte nai
[03:15] ---
I will cover the powers that you lack
Chikara wo kasanete
[03:18] ---
Let's fly away
Tobitatsu yo…
[03:19] ---
Don't stand still (Don't stop)
Tachidomaruna (Don’t stop)
[03:21] ---
I'll be there for you (Don't cry)
Soba ni iru kara (Don’t cry)
[03:23] ---
You're not alone anymore
Kimi wa mou hitori janai!
[03:25] ---
Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright)
[03:28] ---
Episode 8
Encounters of Fighters
[03:33] ---
New York, America
[03:36] ---
Hey, Ricardo!
[03:38] ---
Ricardo Fellini!
[03:40] ---
Long time no see, Greco.
[03:42] ---
Haven't seen you since
the last World Tournament.
[03:44] ---
Yeah, I guess.
[03:47] ---
What brings you here?
[03:49] ---
Tomorrow's the final round
of the qualifiers, right?
[03:51] ---
I came to encourage you.
[03:53] ---
Guess you have some free time
now that you're in the World Tournament.
[03:57] ---
Don't be sarcastic.
[04:01] ---
Oh, if it isn't this year's new model.
[04:04] ---
I see, it's well built.
[04:06] ---
I'll pay you back for my losses in
the last two World Tournaments.
[04:11] ---
Is your opponent Scott? Or is it Carter?
[04:15] ---
No, it's some first-timer kid.
[04:18] ---
Then it'll be easy.
[04:20] ---
I'm not so sure about that.
[04:22] ---
I hear he only has three months
of experience with Gunpla.
[04:27] ---
Three months...
[04:29] ---
What's his name?
[04:32] ---
Nils.
[04:33] ---
Nils Nielsen.
[04:37] ---
Greco Logan. Age 27.
20 years of Gunpla experience.
[04:42] ---
Has previously participated
in two World Tournaments.
[04:45] ---
Top rank is Best 16.
[04:48] ---
The Gunpla he uses is
the Tallgeese Valkyrie.
[04:53] ---
This machine possesses
high firepower, heavy armor,
[04:56] ---
and more than enough thrust to match.
[05:02] ---
You're fighting in
the Gunpla Battle Championship?
[05:05] ---
Yes. The best way to get information
about the Plavsky particle,
[05:09] ---
is to win the qualifiers
and get into the World Tournament.
[05:15] ---
The PPSE works team will also
participate in the Tournament,
[05:19] ---
and its founders will be at the venue.
[05:23] ---
If I become a contestant,
I'll be able to meet them...
[05:26] ---
...at receptions and other events.
[05:30] ---
That being said, I'm facing
Mr. Greco in the final round.
[05:35] ---
He's on another level
from my previous opponents.
[05:39] ---
To compete with him...
[05:44] ---
I wanted to keep it in reserve
until the World Tournament, but...
[06:00] ---
Rate of particle motion, 99.97 percent.
[06:05] ---
Particle compression rate of
energy packs installed in weapons...
[06:08] ---
...is stable at 24 percent.
[06:13] ---
The high polycaps in all joints
have been successfully activated.
[06:16] ---
No loss of emotion paint.
[06:20] ---
The numbers underwater are
equal to those on land.
[06:23] ---
It's just as you designed it, Chief Allan.
[06:26] ---
No, it's all thanks to
the PPSE lab's technology.
[06:30] ---
What's more, its fighter
is Meijin Kawaguchi.
[06:37] ---
We're all set for
the World Tournament.
[06:40] ---
I still have concerns.
[06:43] ---
Nemesis?
[06:45] ---
Yes. The Gunpla team led by the
methane hydrate excavation king.
[06:50] ---
Rumor has it they're aiming to
make it to the World Tournament.
[06:54] ---
Is that so...
[06:57] ---
Sir, Mr. Barthes from the
Flana Institute wants to see you.
[07:02] ---
Let him in.
[07:03] ---
Yes, sir.
[07:09] ---
Excuse me, sir.
Let me wish you the best—
[07:12] ---
Enough pleasantries. Let me see him.
[07:16] ---
Absolutely, sir. Get in here.
[07:26] ---
Nice to meet you.
[07:27] ---
My name is Aila Jyrkiäinen,
from the Flana Institute.
[07:33] ---
What is this?
[07:35] ---
What, sir?
[07:37] ---
Our Nemesis team asked for
the strongest Gunpla fighter.
[07:42] ---
That's why we invested
big bucks in you.
[07:45] ---
And this is the result?
[07:48] ---
Aila is the Flana Institute's masterpiece.
[07:52] ---
She is humanity's strongest fighter.
[07:55] ---
Chairman, if you're
skeptical about my ability,
[07:58] ---
please see it with your own eyes.
[08:02] ---
I see.
[08:05] ---
Yes, sir.
[08:06] ---
Call Gawain. He has a battle.
[08:09] ---
But she didn't bring her Gunpla.
[08:14] ---
Just use one in the battle room.
[08:16] ---
If you're humanity's strongest,
you won't mind, right?
[08:20] ---
Of course not.
[08:22] ---
Your opponent is Gawain!
[08:23] ---
Never heard of him.
[08:26] ---
He's the main fighter of team Nemesis,
and a world-level player.
[08:32] ---
Come in.
[08:37] ---
Gawain, it's battle time.
[08:41] ---
Iori Models
[08:43] ---
Huh?
[08:44] ---
Is Sei still holed up in there?
[08:47] ---
I've been telling him to take a break.
[08:51] ---
But just like his dad,
[08:54] ---
he won't stop once he gets all fired up.
[08:57] ---
One month until the World Tournament.
[09:00] ---
When I won the regional qualifiers,
[09:02] ---
I assumed the Build Strike Gundam
could compete in the World Tournament.
[09:08] ---
Reiji battled for me as a fighter,
[09:10] ---
and I poured all my energy
into the Build Strike.
[09:18] ---
But as we are now,
we just aren't good enough.
[09:21] ---
We lost to Yuuki, a contestant
in the last World Tournament.
[09:24] ---
His levels of completion,
manueverability, and firepower...
[09:28] ---
Reiji and I couldn't match them.
[09:34] ---
When we went to the sea,
we fought that mobile armor Apsaras.
[09:39] ---
Its I-field reflected particle beams
by altering the Plavsky particles.
[09:45] ---
That's the true strength of
a world-level Gunpla.
[09:51] ---
And then there was Mao.
[09:52] ---
Even without a super microwave system,
[09:55] ---
he fired his hyper satellite cannon.
[10:00] ---
All the Gunpla that
fight at the world level...
[10:03] ---
They all understand and apply the
characteristics of Plavsky particles.
[10:10] ---
I've got to build an
original Gunpla that can face them!
[10:42] ---
Darn!
[10:43] ---
Where'd it go?!
[11:06] ---
Battle ended.
[11:09] ---
Gawain's Devil Gundam,
defeated by a Jegan...
[11:13] ---
Wh-Who the heck are you?!
[11:17] ---
So what do you think, Chairman?
[11:20] ---
Excellent.
[11:21] ---
I'll make her the team's main fighter.
[11:25] ---
Thank you very much.
[11:27] ---
But don't get conceited.
[11:30] ---
He will also be a contestant
in the qualifying tournament.
[11:35] ---
The champion of
the last World Tournament,
[11:38] ---
Carlos Kaiser.
[11:41] ---
Can you defeat him, Aila Jyrkiäinen?
[11:46] ---
If that is your order.
[11:49] ---
Hey, 6.5 billion Gunpla fans
around the world!
[11:53] ---
The moment of joy has come!
[11:55] ---
Tonight, here, at the
La Vie en Rose Garden...
[12:06] ---
It's the final round of the
American regional qualifiers!
[12:09] ---
This will decide who goes to the
Gunpla Battle Championship World Tournament!
[12:13] ---
This sizzling match
will be brought to you live!
[12:19] ---
Isn't it exciting?
[12:20] ---
Of course.
[12:22] ---
I can't wait.
[12:23] ---
In this final round, we'll see Greco,
who went to last year's World Tournament.
[12:28] ---
His abilities are guaranteed.
[12:31] ---
But his opponent Nils
can't be underestimated either.
[12:34] ---
Nils is only 13 years old,
[12:36] ---
and this is his first time
entering the tournament.
[12:38] ---
Ability in Gunpla Battle
isn't a matter of experience.
[12:42] ---
So it seems.
[12:54] ---
He's here!
[12:55] ---
America's mightiest raging bull!
[12:59] ---
But, despite his bold nickname,
[13:02] ---
his fighting style is
subtle and accurate!
[13:04] ---
The winner of the previous
qualifying tournament,
[13:07] ---
Greco Logan!
[13:12] ---
Wow, he looks full of spirit.
[13:15] ---
He seems resolute about this!
[13:17] ---
Yes.
[13:18] ---
Please welcome the challenger
from the opposite side.
[13:22] ---
He's just 13 years old!
[13:24] ---
But having skipped grades and
gone to America's top university,
[13:27] ---
this young genius has
already earned three Ph.Ds!
[13:31] ---
His father is a world-famous detective,
[13:34] ---
and his mother is a master of martial arts.
[13:36] ---
The one-of-a-kind super-boy, Nils Nielsen!
[13:44] ---
As always!
[13:45] ---
It's Nils' famous Samurai Hello!
[13:49] ---
Influenced by his mother,
he's also familiar with martial arts.
[13:52] ---
I hear he's a black belt
in both karate and judo.
[13:56] ---
I can't wait to watch this match!
[13:59] ---
I've been looking forward to this.
[14:01] ---
I can't wait to battle with you, Early Genius.
[14:05] ---
Thanks.
[14:07] ---
But I can't let you go
to the World Tournament.
[14:09] ---
There's a man waiting for me there.
[14:15] ---
I also have a reason not to lose.
[14:18] ---
Well then, let's see
whose feelings are stronger.
[14:22] ---
Bring it on!
[14:26] ---
Please set your GP Base.
[14:31] ---
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[14:38] ---
The Plavsky particle.
[14:40] ---
If I can just find out
the secret of this particle,
[14:44] ---
then I can...
[14:48] ---
Field 1, Space.
[14:51] ---
Please set your Gunpla.
[15:03] ---
An improved version of
the Gundam Astray?
[15:06] ---
He switched machines to face Greco.
[15:09] ---
How on earth will he fight?
[15:18] ---
It'll be even more fun defeating you, now.
[15:23] ---
Tallgeese Valkyrie, launching!
[15:26] ---
Sengoku Astray, here I come!
[15:31] ---
The final round has begun!
[15:39] ---
That Astray's a close range type.
[15:41] ---
It doesn't have any extra
long range weapons.
[15:43] ---
So...
[15:55] ---
He's dodging with minimum movement.
[15:58] ---
Is that what they call
"mikiri" in the martial arts?
[16:01] ---
In that case...!
[16:14] ---
Darn!
[16:16] ---
Take a full burst!
[16:33] ---
Th-This is amazing!
[16:36] ---
The Sengoku Astray is splitting
Greco's beam in half!
[16:41] ---
I can't believe it.
[17:00] ---
Greco!
[17:08] ---
The match is over.
[17:10] ---
Not yet.
[17:17] ---
It's not over yet!
[17:21] ---
Please just give up.
[17:22] ---
There's no use battling any longer.
[17:24] ---
I'm being underestimated, huh?
[17:27] ---
Why are you still fighting,
knowing you'll lose?
[17:31] ---
I told you. There's a man
who I truly want to defeat.
[17:35] ---
I can't lose here!
[18:03] ---
At this distance,
you can't use your precious swords!
[18:06] ---
I'll slam you against the rocks!
[18:10] ---
It's useless!
[18:37] ---
Come on.
[18:51] ---
Wh-What?
[18:56] ---
What happened?!
[18:59] ---
What did you do?!
[19:12] ---
Battle ended.
[19:15] ---
B-Battle ended!
[19:18] ---
Nils Nielsen's Astray has defeated
Greco, the raging bull!
[19:23] ---
This is unbelievable.
[19:26] ---
The champion of the
American qualifying tournament,
[19:28] ---
the player who will go to the
World Tournament, has been decided!
[19:31] ---
The winner is Samurai Boy, Nils Nielsen!
[19:41] ---
Greco.
[19:43] ---
I didn't imagine the match
would be this one-sided.
[19:47] ---
Those swords, and that final technique.
[19:52] ---
That boy makes full use of
the Plavsky particle.
[19:58] ---
This is...
[20:00] ---
...a Gunpla built by the new generation.
[20:04] ---
A reformation, I should say.
[20:07] ---
No, it's not just him.
[20:10] ---
New fighters from
around the world are...
[20:11] ---
Bangkok, Thailand
[20:24] ---
Buenos Aires, Argentina
[20:46] ---
Gunpla Shingyo School
[20:59] ---
Hey, Sei!
[21:01] ---
I said, Sei!
[21:03] ---
Why are you shouting?
[21:05] ---
What?
[21:07] ---
Isn't your Gunpla ready yet?
[21:10] ---
It's not that easy!
[21:13] ---
Go away, I need to concentrate!
[21:14] ---
Wh-What did you say to me?!
[21:17] ---
Just...
[21:19] ---
Leave me alone!
[21:21] ---
If there's a future you want to grab
Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[21:25] ---
No matter how many times you get hurt,
Nando kizutsuitemo
[21:27] ---
focus on your dreams
Yume wo mitakutte
[21:30] ---
That's how we get past the present
Ima wo koeteikunda bokutachi wa
[21:44] ---
Somehow, I was caught up in the flow of time
Nantonaku sugiteku toki ni nagasare
[21:50] ---
I was just dimly moving forward
Bonyari to susumu dake ja
[21:55] ---
As I walked, it felt like even my footprints...
Aruitekita michi ni ashiato sae mo
[22:01] ---
...were fading away
Nokosenai ki ga shitanda
[22:05] ---
I have a place to head to, with my fist in the air
Kobushi wo furiagete mukau basho ga aru
[22:10] ---
Let's try to question ourselves,
Jibun ni toikake
[22:13] ---
move forward with more strength
Motto tsuyoku fumidashite miyou
[22:18] ---
If there's a future you want to grab
Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[22:21] ---
No matter how many times you get hurt,
Nando kizutsuitemo
[22:24] ---
focus on your dreams
Yume wo mitakutte
[22:26] ---
Get past the present
Ima wo koeteyuke
[22:29] ---
I don't want to turn away from the obstacles...
Tachihadakaru mono ni
[22:32] ---
...that stand in my way
Me wo somuketakunai
[22:35] ---
I don't wanna lose
Maketakunainda
[22:37] ---
What can I accomplish?
Nani ga dekiru no ka?
[22:40] ---
I want to believe in infinite power,
Mugen no chikara wo shinjitai kara
[22:45] ---
So I want us to keep challenging ourselves
Idomi tsuzuketai
[22:47] ---
Forever and always
Bokura wa itsumo
[22:55] ---
I'm finally here.
[22:57] ---
It was worth traveling this far to watch
the last tournament's champ, Carlos Kaiser.
[23:04] ---
Oh, my.
[23:05] ---
The final round is about to begin.
[23:08] ---
I'd better hurry.
[23:16] ---
Wh-What's all this cheering?
[23:19] ---
The battle should've just begun...
[23:23] ---
Kaiser's Alpha Azieru...!
[23:29] ---
The world champion, beaten so badly?
[23:34] ---
What kind of fighter is that?
[23:39] ---
Aila Jyrkiäinen of team Nemesis...
[23:43] ---
...will represent Finland in the 7th Gunpla
Battle Championship World Tournament.
[23:51] ---
I-It's a young lady!
