    Here at the 7th Gunpla Building
    Contest, the Meijin Cup,
[00:02] ---
    7th Gunpla Building Contest
[00:04] ---
    the Grand Prix goes to...
[00:08] ---
    ...entry number eight!
[00:10] ---
    Minato Sakai from Osaka Prefecture!
[00:14] ---
    Yes!
[00:20] ---
    Oh, wow! Look at all the
    vaguely familiar hotties!
[00:23] ---
    There's my master, too!
[00:26] ---
    Congratulations.
[00:28] ---
    You're truly an ultra super
    deluxe great special modeler.
[00:32] ---
    My work doesn't even come close.
[00:36] ---
    You're a good sport, Yuuma.
[00:39] ---
    Who's that you're with?
    What a funny face.
[00:42] ---
    Minato.
[00:44] ---
    You made such an awesome Gunpla.
[00:46] ---
    How cool of you.
[00:48] ---
    Won't you customize me as well?
[00:51] ---
    Just kidding!
[00:52] ---
    Sure thing!
[00:54] ---
    I'll tune you up in my own style!
[00:58] ---
    I'll start with your joints here.
[01:02] ---
    I'll replace the polycaps and...
[01:06] ---
    Darn, it was such a great dream.
[01:10] ---
    Oh yeah, the results of the
    Tokyo qualifiers should be in!
[01:14] ---
    I bet Yuuma's team has lost already.
[01:17] ---
    They should be in tears.
[01:19] ---
    Wait, they won!
[01:21] ---
    Is Yuuma really so eager
    to avoid the Meijin Cup?!
[01:24] ---
    Doesn't he want to face me?
[01:26] ---
    That punk!
[01:31] ---
    There are no limits There are no absolutes
    Genkai nante nai zettai nante nai
[01:35] ---
    I was inspired when you said "there are no limits,"
    Genkai nante nai tte kimi no kotoba ni akogarete
[01:42] ---
    So I extended my hand
    Kono te wo nobashitanda
[01:45] ---
    I gave it my all I cried, I laughed
    Zenkai dashite naite waratte
[01:48] ---
    We're setting out again under the cloudless sky
    Mata kumori no nai sora no shita fumidasu no sa
[01:55] ---
    We're going there!
    Ano basho e
[01:57] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
    We're going there!
    Ano basho e
[01:58] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
[01:59] ---
    GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS TRY
[02:01] ---
    The beginning is always the same
    Hajimari nante onaji de
[02:04] ---
    Our hearts are pierced by burning knives
    Atsukunatta naifu ga bokura no mune wo tsuranuita
[02:11] ---
    We keep on running above the racing rain
    Ame no reesu no ue hashiritsudzukete
[02:15] ---
    We can't forget when we're hurt and lose ourselves
    Kizutsuite miushinattemo mada wasurerarenai kara
[02:20] ---
    The skies are gray,
[02:21] ---
    but we're still showing off our faith!
[02:23] ---
    We no longer care about blame or pain
    Mou ki ni mo naranaize blame to pain
[02:25] ---
    Victory is in our hands
    Uh tsukamitoru no sa eikou
[02:28] ---
    Our hearts are on fire. Flame on!
    Sono haato ni flame on
[02:29] ---
    We're fighting back against the word "never"
    "Zettai nai" tte kotoba ni sakaratte
[02:33] ---
    Reaching toward the dreams we swore we'd realize
    Chikatta yume e to kono te wo nobashiterunda
[02:39] ---
    There's no right answer anymore
    Seikai nante mou nakutatte kotae wa
[02:44] ---
    The answer is within our hearts
    Bokura no mune no naka ni aru
[02:47] ---
    Just grasp it with burning desire
    Futtou shita omoi de tsukamunda
[02:56] ---
    There are no limits
    Genkai nante nai
[03:08] ---
    The private Gunpla Academy...
[03:11] ---
    Last year's national champion team.
[03:14] ---
    Were you... in last year's tournament?
[03:17] ---
    Yeah, sort of.
[03:21] ---
    I-It's true.
[03:24] ---
    I-Is that so...
[03:26] ---
    Obviously, my Zeo Zeong
    couldn't help but lose...
[03:29] ---
    ...against a member of last year's
    national champion team.
[03:32] ---
    Isn't that right? Right?
[03:34] ---
    Sudou, with this new guy...
[03:36] ---
    Yeah. We can win the
    West Tokyo qualifiers.
[03:41] ---
    Don't set your sights
    so low, Mr. President.
[03:44] ---
    We're after the national championship,
    not the regional qualifiers, right?
[03:48] ---
    It's not that simple.
[03:50] ---
    Sure it is. As long as we have
    both your Gunpla and mine.
[03:57] ---
    Wow, this is well-made.
[04:01] ---
    From the style, it seems like
    it's from the Kansai area.
[04:04] ---
    Is this the work of the Shingyo School?
[04:07] ---
    You got that right.
[04:09] ---
    What an interesting school
    I've transferred to.
[04:12] ---
    My luck must be improving,
[04:14] ---
    if I get to battle with
    such a lovely lady.
[04:18] ---
    Hey, stop that!
[04:25] ---
    By this weekend, the best four
    in the qualifiers will be decided,
[04:28] ---
    and the brackets will be drawn.
[04:31] ---
    Who will be our opponent?
[04:34] ---
    Episode 8
    Upon This Shield
[04:39] ---
    We now begin match four
    of the quarterfinals round...
[04:43] ---
    ...of the West Tokyo qualifiers.
[04:49] ---
    Field 5, City.
[04:52] ---
    We're at the destination point.
[04:56] ---
    The enemy should come from the sea.
[04:59] ---
    I'll get into shooting position.
[05:02] ---
    With this Super Xamel that's been made
    even larger than legal mobile armor size,
[05:07] ---
    we'll show you our tank spirit!
[05:18] ---
    Wh...
[05:19] ---
    What?
[05:20] ---
    That's...
[05:23] ---
    ...the mobile armor Doggorla!
[05:28] ---
    Open fire! Now!
[05:42] ---
    Where's the Doggorla?
[05:44] ---
    Where'd it go?
[05:57] ---
    Battle ended.
[06:00] ---
    The winner of match four
    is Suiryu Academy's...
[06:04] ---
    ...team Leviathan.
[06:07] ---
    What's that Gunpla
    that looks like a dragon?
[06:10] ---
    It's the Doggorla from V Gundam.
[06:15] ---
    They're a team that controls
    one mobile armor with three people.
[06:18] ---
    Now the best four are decided.
[06:21] ---
    Let's go. It's time to draw the brackets.
[06:24] ---
    Yes, sir!
    Yes, sir!
[06:26] ---
    The teams advancing to the semifinals
    of the West Tokyo qualifiers...
[06:31] ---
    ...in the Gunpla Battle
    Japanese Championship are...
[06:33] ---
    Seiho Academy Middle School,
    team Try Fighters.
[06:37] ---
    St. Odessa Girls' School,
    team Song Dynasty Vase.
[06:41] ---
    Suiryu Academy, team Leviathan.
[06:44] ---
    And Miyazato Institute
    High School, team G-Master.
[06:48] ---
    What are Sakashita and Suga doing...?
[06:51] ---
    We will now draw lots to decide
    the brackets for the semifinals.
[07:05] ---
    Suiryu Academy
[07:05] ---
    Miyazato Institute
    Suiryu Academy
[07:05] ---
    Miyazato Institute
    Suiryu Academy St. Odessa Girls' School
[07:05] ---
    Seiho Academy Miyazato Institute
    Suiryu Academy St. Odessa Girls' School
[07:07] ---
    And here are the semifinals brackets.
[07:11] ---
    We're in the first match.
[07:13] ---
    Against Suiryu Academy...
[07:15] ---
    Those dragon-users?
[07:18] ---
    Miss Kaoruko, our opponent is
    that Miyazato Institute.
[07:23] ---
    They're formidable enemies.
[07:24] ---
    Pretty strong.
[07:26] ---
    Sure they are.
[07:28] ---
    Miyazato was last year's
    regional champion team, after all.
[07:34] ---
    This is the first time
    we've faced each other.
[07:38] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[07:40] ---
    Who cares if you're last year's
    champion team? We're gonna win.
[07:44] ---
    Don't underestimate us because
    we're younger, or because we're girls.
[07:48] ---
    I know Gunpla Battle's not that easy.
[07:52] ---
    Besides, we're fighting against
    the little sister of Susumu Sazaki,
[07:56] ---
    who made it to the best 16
    in the 10th world championship.
[08:00] ---
    You know my brother?
[08:03] ---
    I fought him when
    I was in middle school.
[08:07] ---
    He had a great Gyan
    and a great shield...
[08:11] ---
    I was wiped out.
[08:14] ---
    Then his sister will let you
    taste that defeat once again.
[08:19] ---
    I'd rather not.
[08:21] ---
    I've been training hard, you know.
[08:23] ---
    Tomorrow, then.
[08:25] ---
    Wow, they're psyching each other out!
[08:28] ---
    You're serious, Gyanko.
[08:30] ---
    Is she really that confident
    that she's going to win?
[08:33] ---
    Or is she...
[08:37] ---
    Our opponent is Suiryu Academy.
[08:39] ---
    They'll be tough to beat.
[08:41] ---
    We're aware of that.
[08:43] ---
    Get some rest today,
    and prepare for tomorrow's battle.
[08:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
    Yes, sir!
[08:49] ---
    I won't make another blunder
    like I did in the quarterfinals.
[08:52] ---
    Me neither!
[08:53] ---
    Great attitude.
[08:55] ---
    Huh? Is that...
[08:58] ---
    Gyanko?
[09:03] ---
    What the...?
[09:05] ---
    Sekai... Sekai...
[09:07] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:08] ---
    We've been matched up
    with the Miyazato Institute.
[09:11] ---
    I won't be able to fight you again.
[09:16] ---
    Hold on, you haven't
    even started fighting yet.
[09:19] ---
    But they're last year's champion team!
[09:22] ---
    Why are you suddenly so wimpy?
[09:24] ---
    But...!
[09:28] ---
    Sekai, we'll leave Gyanko to you.
[09:31] ---
    What?
[09:32] ---
    Let's go.
[09:33] ---
    Roger.
[09:34] ---
    What? W-Wait, Hoshino...!
[09:37] ---
    Yuuma! Mr. Ral!
[09:41] ---
    Fumina, you don't mind?
[09:44] ---
    I'm helping our enemy, just this once.
[09:47] ---
    She's fighting against the Miyazato Institute,
    last year's champion school.
[09:52] ---
    I know that's a lot of pressure.
[09:58] ---
    Hey, drink this. It's my treat.
[10:00] ---
    It's thanks for the lunch
    you made me the other day.
[10:08] ---
    If you don't want it, I'll...
[10:11] ---
    So you do want it.
[10:12] ---
    Hey, cheer up.
[10:15] ---
    If you don't, you'll lose
    before the fight even starts.
[10:19] ---
    My master told me,
[10:21] ---
    "No matter how tough your opponent,
    without a fighting spirit, you can't win."
[10:26] ---
    Then...
[10:28] ---
    ...will you give me some fighting spirit?
[10:31] ---
    What?
[10:32] ---
    How...?
[10:33] ---
    Tomorrow, if my team wins,
    will you go on a date with me?
[10:37] ---
    Will you... go on a date with me?
[10:41] ---
    Miss Kaoruko has gone
    behind enemy lines.
[10:44] ---
    How exciting.
[10:46] ---
    I have to go on a date again?
[10:49] ---
    Again?
[10:51] ---
    What do you mean?
    Are you dating somebody?
[10:54] ---
    Uh, that is...
[10:55] ---
    It's Miss Hoshino, isn't it?
[10:59] ---
    Do you have a cold?
    Please mind your health.
[11:02] ---
    I don't think it's a cold...
[11:07] ---
    So much for the tender and mopey
    sympathy-gaining strategy!
[11:11] ---
    I, Kaoruko Sazaki, will win both
    tomorrow's battle and your heart!
[11:17] ---
    You... Weren't you feeling down?
[11:19] ---
    Huh? Well...
[11:24] ---
    You're flirting with boys on
    the day before the semifinals?
[11:27] ---
    You must take us lightly.
[11:29] ---
    You're from the Miyazato Institute...
[11:32] ---
    I'm Sakashita. Yomi Sakashita.
[11:35] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting,
    my dear Yomi!
[11:39] ---
    You're with a guy as well!
[11:41] ---
    No, I'm not! I'm making him
    buy me dinner for being so late!
[11:45] ---
    Oh Yomi, you're being shy.
[11:47] ---
    Stop acting like there's
    something between us!
[11:57] ---
    Team G-Master from
    the Miyazato Institute...
[12:01] ---
    You were late to the
    semifinals bracket drawing.
[12:04] ---
    Last year's winners are that confident?
[12:07] ---
    No, that's not it.
[12:09] ---
    Our transfer student came late,
    and that just held us up.
[12:15] ---
    Aren't you the one
    who's taking us lightly?
[12:18] ---
    Even though you're facing us tomorrow,
    you're going out with boys.
[12:22] ---
    No, no, this isn't a date.
[12:26] ---
    Ugh, I can't believe you're our
    opponent in the semifinals.
[12:30] ---
    What do you mean?
[12:32] ---
    I'm saying you won't be a challenge.
[12:33] ---
    How dare you!
[12:35] ---
    Hey.
[12:37] ---
    Don't look down on her like that.
[12:39] ---
    She's serious about Gunpla Battle.
[12:42] ---
    When I fought against her once,
    my fist heard her feelings.
[12:46] ---
    Wh-What are you saying?
[12:49] ---
    I'm saying, don't underestimate her.
[12:51] ---
    Sekai...
[12:53] ---
    I'm going home to prep for tomorrow.
[12:55] ---
    Gyanko, let's meet in the final match!
[12:58] ---
    I don't care if they're
    last year's champion team.
[13:01] ---
    Don't lose to those guys.
[13:03] ---
    Of course not!
[13:04] ---
    I swear on my Gunpla...
    No, upon my shield!
[13:09] ---
    Promise!
[13:10] ---
    Yeah... I promise!
[13:14] ---
    Hey, kid!
[13:16] ---
    I'm not a kid.
    My name is Sekai Kamiki.
[13:20] ---
    You're a member of
    team Try Fighters, right?
[13:23] ---
    Yeah.
[13:24] ---
    I saw your battle on video.
[13:28] ---
    You use some interesting techniques...
[13:31] ---
    The Jigen Haoh School of Kenpo.
[13:35] ---
    You know it?
[13:36] ---
    It won't work on me, though.
[13:38] ---
    Ah, but first, do your best
    in the semifinals...
[13:42] ---
    ...Sekai Kamiki.
[13:45] ---
    Who... are you?
[13:48] ---
    Me?
[13:50] ---
    I'm Suga.
[13:52] ---
    Akira Suga.
[14:04] ---
    Hoshino?
[14:08] ---
    What's up?
[14:10] ---
    It's nothing, but...
[14:13] ---
    I was wondering what
    you and Gyanko talked about.
[14:16] ---
    Listen to this, Hoshino!
[14:19] ---
    She was faking being depressed.
[14:21] ---
    I regret treating her to a cup of juice!
[14:23] ---
    Is that so?
[14:25] ---
    Didn't she know that kind of
    trick would backfire with you?
[14:31] ---
    Hoshino.
[14:32] ---
    What is it?
[14:33] ---
    I promised Gyanko
    I'd see her in the final match.
[14:37] ---
    So let's be sure to win tomorrow!
[14:40] ---
    Yeah, let's do our best!
[14:46] ---
    We now begin the semifinals
    of the West Tokyo qualifiers.
[14:50] ---
    This is match one.
[15:02] ---
    Guys, do you hear me?
[15:03] ---
    The Doggorla has separating
    functions. Keep that in mind!
[15:06] ---
    Right.
[15:07] ---
    Roger.
[15:08] ---
    Sekai, I'm carrying you for a reason.
[15:11] ---
    Do your job.
[15:12] ---
    I know.
[15:13] ---
    It's coming!
[15:15] ---
    I'll open fire.
[15:18] ---
    Sekai!
[15:27] ---
    It separated.
[15:28] ---
    Now!
[15:51] ---
    Were they waiting for us to separate?
[15:53] ---
    President, the red one's gone!
[15:55] ---
    What? Where is it?!
[15:56] ---
    It's above us!
[16:03] ---
    Winning Knuckle!
[16:10] ---
    Jigen Haoh School!
[16:12] ---
    (Gale Force Punch)
    Shippu-Zuki!
[16:21] ---
    Battle ended.
[16:26] ---
    The winner is team Try Fighters
    from Seiho Academy.
[16:30] ---
    Miss Kaoruko, Sekai's team won!
[16:33] ---
    They're advancing to the final round!
[16:35] ---
    Right.
[16:36] ---
    Gyanko!
[16:38] ---
    I'll be waiting for you at the final match.
[16:40] ---
    You got it. I'll keep my promise.
[16:44] ---
    I swear upon this shield!
[16:47] ---
    And now for match two
    of the semifinals round...
[16:51] ---
    ...of the West Tokyo qualifiers.
[16:52] ---
    Team Song Dynasty Vase from
    St. Odessa Girls' School...
[16:56] ---
    ...versus team G-Master from
    the Miyazato Institute High School.
[17:02] ---
    Gunpla Battle, combat mode. Startup.
[17:05] ---
    Model damage level, set to B.
[17:09] ---
    Please set your GP Base.
[17:12] ---
    Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[17:16] ---
    Field 1, Space.
[17:20] ---
    Please set your Gunpla.
[17:28] ---
    Battle start.
[17:32] ---
    R-Gyagya, Kaoruko Sazaki,
    plus two others.
[17:36] ---
    Miss Kaoruko!
[17:37] ---
    That's too abbreviated.
[17:38] ---
    I'll keep my promise!
[17:46] ---
    The Miyazato Institute
    has changed all its machines.
[17:49] ---
    A V Gundam and
    a customized G-Fighter.
[17:55] ---
    That machine, the one
    based on the Hyaku Shiki...
[17:57] ---
    You can tell, Yuuma?
[17:59] ---
    Yes.
[18:01] ---
    I recognized it straight away.
[18:04] ---
    That Hyaku Shiki was made by...
[18:06] ---
    ...Minato Sakai of the
    Gunpla Shingyo School!
[18:10] ---
    How's the Mega Shiki?
[18:12] ---
    It's highly satisfactory.
[18:14] ---
    So much so, that I can't
    control my emotions!
[18:19] ---
    Attacking from this range?!
[18:24] ---
    So many particles!
    Is it a high mega—?!
[18:33] ---
    Mahiru!
[18:37] ---
    With a single shot!
[18:38] ---
    What performance!
[18:39] ---
    How could you!
[18:45] ---
    Move away!
[18:46] ---
    So you were bluffing after all.
[18:48] ---
    What did you say?!
[18:49] ---
    My, I thought you were tougher.
    You were even dating the day before.
[18:54] ---
    That has nothing to do with this!
[18:56] ---
    What was it, again?
    "My fist heard her feelings?"
[19:06] ---
    Hey, hey.
[19:08] ---
    I haven't had my turn yet.
[19:15] ---
    It isn't shooting?!
    That G-Fighter is toying with me!
[19:22] ---
    How dare you ignore me!
[19:27] ---
    Oops.
[19:39] ---
    My arm?!
[19:43] ---
    Yes, this is just a game.
[19:48] ---
    This is Gunpla Battle.
[19:56] ---
    Miss Kaoruko!
[19:58] ---
    Keiko!
[20:01] ---
    Sekai?
[20:02] ---
    That fighter... It used martial arts.
[20:10] ---
    The Jigen Haoh School of Kenpo.
[20:13] ---
    It won't work on me, though.
[20:18] ---
    Akira Suga.
[20:20] ---
    All that's left is
    that stubborn chick.
[20:29] ---
    Not bad.
[20:32] ---
    Ah yes, it's a great shield.
[20:35] ---
    Worthy of Susumu Sazaki's little sister.
[20:38] ---
    But... What if I have a sword
    that exceeds its defensive strength?!
[20:43] ---
    There's no paradox!
[20:50] ---
    My shield!
[21:09] ---
    Why... My R-Gyagya!
[21:18] ---
    My shield...
[21:28] ---
    I'm sorry, Sekai.
[21:34] ---
    I couldn't keep my promise...
[21:48] ---
    Gyanko...
[21:55] ---
    Gyanko!
[22:02] ---
    Go fight!! Go fight!! Ready!!
[22:04] ---
    Go fight!! Go fight!! Let you go!!
[22:17] ---
    I looked out at the gloom one day
    Saenai menshita one day
[22:20] ---
    It can't be defeated this way
    Nankoufuraku no this way
[22:22] ---
    My thoughts are scattered, I wonder to myself
    Edawakare no shikou jimonjitoushite
[22:27] ---
    Is this the right path? Question
    Kocchi de atteru no question
[22:29] ---
    Let's leave it up to chance, motion
    Detatoko shoubu no motion
[22:32] ---
    I stumble along under the crying sky
    Yoromeite susumu naki sora no shita
[22:36] ---
    Don't call it a stereotype
    Suteriotaipu nante
[22:39] ---
    Don't judge, just drop-kick it
    Kimetsukenaide doroppukikku suru ze
[22:42] ---
    Let's hold hands and fly away
    Te wo toriatte tobidasunda
[22:46] ---
    (Fly away! Higher!) Beyond the sky
    (Fly away! Higher!) Sora no kanata
[22:51] ---
    Amazing the world!
[22:53] ---
    If you're with me, I feel like I'll find it
    Issho nara mitsukarisou sa
[22:57] ---
    (Go together!) At supersonic speed,
    (Go together!) Onsoku no haisupiido de
[23:01] ---
    We'll connect the shining points in our hearts
    Mune ni hikaru 'ten' to 'ten' wo tsunagiawase
[23:07] ---
    (Like a rainbow!) With an unshakable bond, find out
    (Like a rainbow!) Yuruginai kizuna de find out
[23:13] ---
    Let's go where the light guides us, dive!
    Hikari sasu hougaku e dive
[23:28] ---
    Go fight!! Go fight!! Let you go!!
[23:33] ---
    What a surprise.
[23:35] ---
    The Sleggar who transferred
    is now playing for a Tokyo school.
[23:43] ---
    Will his existence be a threat to us?
[23:47] ---
    No it won't, Uncle.
[23:50] ---
    Don't call me that here.
[23:53] ---
    I'm very sorry...
[23:56] ---
    ...Coach Allan Adams.
