The day has come at last.

Keyakigaoka Middle School Art Exhibition
[00:11] ---
It's time to end to this!
[00:13] ---
I've undergone gifted
education in the arts,
[00:15] ---
and have won prizes
at many exhibitions.
[00:19] ---
There is only one person
better than I, Caroline Yajima...
[00:22] ---
And she always stands in my way.
[00:24] ---
But this year...
[00:27] ---
I'm going to get my revenge,
China Kousaka!
[00:31] ---
Oh, Caro. Long time no see.
[00:34] ---
It's not Caro, it's Caroline!
[00:36] ---
Caroline Yajima!
[00:38] ---
Don't address me like
some candy mascot!
[00:40] ---
But you're still Caro to me.
[00:43] ---
Like I said...!
[00:46] ---
No, no.
[00:47] ---
She's just trying to upset me
for the sake of psychological warfare.
[00:51] ---
It's not going to be that easy.
[00:53] ---
I'm not only trained in the arts,
but also in mental disciplines.
[00:57] ---
Yes, everything I do...
[01:00] ---
...is to win against you!
[01:03] ---
Aren't you going to check the results?
[01:04] ---
Of course I am!
[01:08] ---
Miss Caroline.
[01:10] ---

Caroline Yajima
[01:10] ---
Congratulations on your gold prize.
[01:10] ---
J's Dining Table
Caroline Yajima
[01:13] ---
The contours are crisp,
and the image is well simplified.
[01:16] ---
The value contrast is strong.
[01:18] ---
You fully explored the charm
of watercolor painting.
[01:21] ---
It's an excellent piece.
[01:25] ---
Congrats.
[01:27] ---
I guess I should
thank you for saying that.
[01:31] ---
By the way,
what kind of work did you present?
[01:34] ---
Some landscape, like always?
[01:37] ---
Not this time.
[01:39] ---
Beargguy in Wonder Forest
Grand Prize
China Kousaka
[01:42] ---
G-Grand prize?!
[01:47] ---
It's better than your prize, Miss.
[01:49] ---
The most valuable...!
[01:51] ---
That's just like my lifelong rival.
[01:54] ---
But what is this?!
[01:56] ---
What on earth is this?
A bear? A robot?!
[01:59] ---
It's not a robot, but a Gunpla.
[02:01] ---
A what?
[02:04] ---
Gunpla means a plastic model
from the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam."
[02:10] ---
A plastic model...
[02:12] ---
I lost to a piece that's about a toy?
[02:16] ---
Sh-She's making fun of me.
[02:19] ---
China Kousaka...
[02:20] ---
...I won't forget this humiliation!
[02:27] ---
You're not alone
Hitori janai
[02:29] ---
You and I have this bond between us
Bokura tsunagatteru kara
[02:32] ---
That bond has made me want to take a step forward
Asu e to fumidashitaku nattanda
[02:35] ---
Let's link the colors of our dreams
Sorezore no yume no iro wo tsunaide
[02:39] ---
And create a bright rainbow up in the sky
Kono sora ni azayaka na niji wo kakeyou
[02:48] ---
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS
[02:51] ---
I don't have any merits to speak of
Kore to itte torie mo nai
[02:54] ---
I always felt inferior, I had no confidence
Rettoukan to aruite jishin datte nai
[02:58] ---
"What's so fun about that?" you asked,
"Tte yuu ka sore de tanoshii no?" tte
[03:02] ---
As you smiled and ran ahead of me
Kimi wa waratte boku wo oikoshiteku
[03:06] ---
When I'm alone inside (Flash back)
Kokoro no naka de hitori ni naru to (Flash back)
[03:08] ---
I synchronize with you (Mash up)
Nara shinkuro sasete (Mash up)
[03:10] ---
With you, I feel confident (Right now)
Kimi to nara dekisou sa (Right now)
[03:12] ---
Ready set go!!
[03:13] ---
From the minute I felt you in my heart
Hitori janai tte omoeta toki kara
[03:18] ---
I was sure my dream would come true
Kanaeraresou na ki ga shitanda
[03:21] ---
With that same smile you always had,
Kawaranai itsumo no egao no mama de
[03:26] ---
You firmly took my hand
Kimi wa boku no te wo tsukande
[03:29] ---
With you, nothing is impossible
Futari nara fukanou nante nai sa
[03:33] ---
You're the one who made me feel this way
Sou omoeta no wa kimi ga ita kara
[03:37] ---
You make up for the strength that I lack
Boku ni nai tsuyosa to kimi ga motte nai
[03:41] ---
I will cover the powers that you lack
Chikara wo kasanete
[03:44] ---
Let's fly away
Tobitatsu yo…
[03:45] ---
Don't stand still (Don't stop)
Tachidomaruna (Don’t stop)
[03:47] ---
I'll be there for you (Don't cry)
Soba ni iru kara (Don’t cry)
[03:49] ---
You're not alone anymore
Kimi wa mou hitori janai!
[03:51] ---
Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright)

Episode 9
Wings of Imagination
[04:01] ---
Welcome.
[04:06] ---
Are you ready to order?
[04:08] ---
T-Two rice omelets, please.
[04:12] ---
C-Certainly, sir.
[04:18] ---
Dad, two rice omelets.
[04:21] ---
Hey, China.
[04:23] ---
Can't you be a little friendlier
to our customers?
[04:28] ---
L-Like this?
[04:30] ---
My bad...
[04:32] ---
Just be yourself.
[04:36] ---
China, you have a phone call
from Iori's mother.
[04:41] ---
Hello, it's China.
[04:44] ---
China, help me.
[04:46] ---
What's the matter?
[04:47] ---
These last few days,
[04:49] ---
Sei hasn't come out of our workshop.
[04:53] ---
Except for eating and sleeping,
he's always working on his Gunpla.
[04:56] ---
I tell him to rest,
but he won't listen.
[04:59] ---
But he might listen to what you say.
[05:04] ---
I mean, you are
his precious girlfriend.
[05:13] ---
Okay.
[05:14] ---
I'll be right there!
[05:18] ---
Iori Models
[05:21] ---
Thanks for the meal, Class Rep.
[05:25] ---
Iori, you're working too hard.
[05:30] ---
I know.
[05:32] ---
But I have less than two weeks
until the World Tournament.
[05:35] ---
But...
[05:37] ---
Your Gunpla is almost done.
[05:41] ---
Yeah.
[05:42] ---
I think I gave it everything I have.
[05:46] ---
But I wonder if this Gunpla...
[05:48] ---
...can fight on par with
the world's greatest fighters.
[05:52] ---
I can't help but think
there's more I can do.
[05:57] ---
I know I have to finish it soon
so Reiji can practice, but...
[06:03] ---
Where is he?
[06:04] ---
I haven't seen him for a few days.
[06:07] ---
But there's nothing unusual about that.
[06:09] ---
Hey, Iori.
[06:11] ---
Huh?
[06:12] ---
I finished my new Gunpla.
[06:15] ---
Would you take a look at it?
[06:18] ---
Really?! I will, I will! Show me!
[06:21] ---
It's not as nicely built as yours.
[06:23] ---
That doesn't matter!
[06:25] ---
I'll go get it, then.
[06:27] ---
Meet me at the park?
[06:28] ---
Okay.
[06:30] ---
Nice job, China.
[06:38] ---
A Beargguy made using
your original colors, huh?
[06:42] ---
You're definitely a member of the art club!
[06:44] ---
The paint is really well done.
[06:46] ---
You think?
[06:47] ---
Yeah!
[06:48] ---
You'd never think that
a Gunpla beginner built it.
[06:53] ---
Huh?
[06:55] ---
What is it?
[06:56] ---
Class Rep, this Beargguy...
[07:03] ---
Haven't seen you since
the exhibition, Miss China.
[07:08] ---
Do you know her?
[07:10] ---
I see her often at art exhibitions.
Her name is Caro.
[07:14] ---
Don't call me by that name!
[07:15] ---
I'm not Caro, I'm Caroline!
[07:18] ---
Caroline Yajima!
[07:22] ---
Oh no.
[07:24] ---
I almost got caught up
in your game again.
[07:27] ---
By the way,
[07:28] ---
I did some research on you, Miss China.
[07:32] ---
You got a boyfriend recently, huh?
[07:36] ---
What? I'm not her boyfriend.
[07:39] ---
Right?
[07:40] ---
Um...
[07:43] ---
Oh, how charmingly naïve.
[07:46] ---
But that's not my point!
[07:49] ---
You've been building Gunpla
because of his influence, right?
[07:53] ---
Yeah.
[07:55] ---
This is the Gunpla that I built,
[07:58] ---
Beargguy III.
[08:01] ---
How cute!
[08:03] ---
Right?
[08:04] ---
Look. Its mouth moves.
[08:06] ---
Cute!
[08:07] ---
Right?
[08:09] ---
"Hello, Caro."
[08:11] ---
"I'm Beargguy."
[08:12] ---
Hello!
[08:14] ---
I'm Caro!
[08:18] ---
Stop it!
[08:19] ---
Why am I putting on
a puppet show with a Gunpla?!
[08:22] ---
But, Miss Caro...
[08:24] ---
It's Caroline!
[08:26] ---
S-Sorry...
[08:27] ---
I thought you came to see the Class Rep?
[08:31] ---
Oops. For a person of my status,
I lost control a little bit.
[08:36] ---
Miss China Kousaka.
[08:37] ---
Yes?
[08:38] ---
I came to tell you about... this!
SIGN Gunpla Battle World Tournament Exhibition Girls' Only Gunpla Battle Now Taking Applications
[08:42] ---
"In commemoration of the
Gunpla Battle World Tournament?"
[08:46] ---
"Girls-Only Gunpla Battle...
Now recruiting contestants?"
[08:50] ---
Yes!
[08:51] ---
I lost to you at the last exhibition.
[08:54] ---
But I'll beat you this time!
[08:57] ---
Let's see whose Gunpla is
the most beautiful and the strongest!
[09:01] ---
I challenge you!
[09:02] ---
W-Wait a minute.
[09:04] ---
I didn't build Beargguy III
to play Gunpla Battle.
[09:08] ---
Are you chickening out?
[09:10] ---
No, I'm just...
[09:12] ---
These last few days,
[09:14] ---
Sei hasn't come out of our workshop.
[09:17] ---
Except for eating and sleeping,
he's always working on his Gunpla.
[09:21] ---
Okay. I'll enter.
[09:23] ---
Class Rep?
[09:24] ---
So you'll accept my challenge?
[09:27] ---
Yes. I will.
[09:30] ---
Thank you, Miss China.
[09:31] ---
I'll be waiting for you
at the arena next Sunday.
[09:38] ---
Are you sure, Class Rep?
[09:40] ---
Yes. I've made up my mind.
[09:43] ---
Iori, I've never played Gunpla Battle.
[09:46] ---
Will you teach me?
[09:47] ---
Okay.
[09:49] ---
I can teach you
stuff about Gunpla,
[09:52] ---
but as for controlling it...
[09:54] ---
I'll teach her.
[09:56] ---
Reiji!
[09:58] ---
I heard what you were talking about.
[10:01] ---
If you're challenged by
some awful stuck-up girl,
[10:04] ---
you'll just have to win!
[10:06] ---
Yes, I intend to.
[10:08] ---
Okay! Let's go to the store!
[10:11] ---
I don't have any merits to speak of
Kore to itte torie mo nai
[10:11] ---
Yeah!
[10:11] ---
I don't have any merits to speak of
Kore to itte torie mo nai
[10:13] ---
I don't have any merits to speak of
Kore to itte torie mo nai
[10:14] ---
I always felt inferior, I had no confidence

[10:18] ---
"What's so fun about that?" you asked,

You're not alone anymore

[11:07] ---
Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright)
[11:11] ---
President Yajima.
[11:14] ---
Thank you for being my personal
sponsor for the World Tournament.
[11:19] ---
You're welcome.
[11:20] ---
It's an honor to be able to
support you, the Early Genius,
[11:25] ---
Nils Nielsen.
[11:28] ---
Dad!
[11:29] ---
Caroline? Why are you...?
[11:31] ---
I have a favor to ask of
the American champion.
[11:35] ---
Huh? I...
[11:37] ---
I'll explain the details
at my mansion.
[11:41] ---
There's no time to waste!
[11:43] ---
W-Wait. What...?
[11:45] ---
What's going on, Mr. President?!
[11:50] ---
No! It's not like that!
[11:52] ---
It's more like,
Pow, Bang and Boom!
[11:57] ---
Reiji, how is she going
to understand that?
[12:01] ---
Control skills are my department.
I'll do it my way!
[12:05] ---
P-Please don't fight.
[12:13] ---
Class Rep, keep an eye
on your opponent!
[12:15] ---
Okay.
[12:20] ---
Here I go!
[12:43] ---
Okay.
[12:45] ---
You should win tomorrow's match
if you can move like this.
[12:48] ---
Thanks, Reiji and Iori.
[12:52] ---
Sei, it's already dark.
[12:54] ---
Walk her home.
[12:55] ---
Okay, I got it.
[12:59] ---
I'll go cheer you on
tomorrow with Reiji.
[13:03] ---
Thanks.
[13:05] ---
Can I ask you one thing?
[13:07] ---
Yes?
[13:08] ---
Why did you decide to
play Gunpla Battle?
[13:11] ---
It seemed like you hated it at first.
[13:13] ---
Th-That's because...
[13:15] ---
It's okay, I was just curious.
[13:19] ---
I got to teach you about Gunpla
and how to control them.
[13:24] ---
I'm really happy about that.
[13:27] ---
I was able to go back to the basics,
[13:30] ---
since I was at a dead end
building my new Gunpla.
[13:36] ---
Wait, did you...?
[13:37] ---
Iori, here is fine.
[13:40] ---
See you tomorrow.
[13:42] ---
Goodnight.
[13:59] ---
Good luck, China!
[14:01] ---
We're rooting for you!
[14:04] ---
Yeah, thanks.
[14:09] ---
You're finally here, Miss China.
[14:11] ---
I commend you for not running away.
[14:14] ---
Today is the day that I defeat you.
[14:20] ---
Miss Caroline.
[14:22] ---
Is she the girl that you want
to beat no matter what?
[14:26] ---
Yes.
[14:27] ---
Don't worry. Just fight as
I taught you, and you'll win.
[14:32] ---
We now begin the Gunpla Battle
World Tournament Commemorative...
[14:36] ---
...Girls-Only Gunpla Battle Tournament.
[14:40] ---
Introducing the players for match one...
[14:43] ---
Miss China Kousaka, a first year student
at Seiho Academy middle school.
[14:47] ---
Her Gunpla is Beargguy III.
[14:50] ---
Miss Alice Imai, a second year student
at Sakurazaka Senior High School.
[14:53] ---
Her Gunpla is the Noble Gundam Deco.
[14:58] ---
Iori isn't here yet...
[15:02] ---
Please set your GP Base.
[15:09] ---
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
[15:18] ---
Field 3, Forest.
[15:20] ---
Beargguy III, it might hurt a bit,
[15:23] ---
but let's do this together.
[15:29] ---
Battle start.
[15:34] ---
China Kousaka, Beargguy III. Here I go!
[15:55] ---
Relax and aim carefully.
[16:04] ---
Battle ended.
[16:08] ---
She's pretty good.
[16:11] ---
She'd better be.
[16:13] ---
She can't lose before I beat her.
[16:17] ---
Why were you late?!
[16:19] ---
Sorry!
[16:21] ---
What if the Class Rep's battle is over?!
[16:24] ---
Don't worry.
[16:25] ---
Her control is pretty good now.
[16:27] ---
She won't lose to some no-name player.
[16:34] ---
Girls' Only
Gunpla Battle Tournament
[16:37] ---
She made it to the next round!
[16:38] ---
See, just like I told you.
[16:41] ---
What's the situation?
[16:51] ---
Elementary stuff!
[16:53] ---
That girl!
[16:54] ---
However cute it may be,
with that kind of performance,
[16:58] ---
you can't beat my Knight Gundam!
[17:04] ---
Sei, what is that
funny looking Gunpla?
[17:07] ---
It's an SD Gundam.
[17:09] ---
They're Gunpla whose heads and bodies are the same size.
[17:12] ---
They're made to look cute.
[17:14] ---
But... that Gunpla is beautifully made.
[17:22] ---
Even if it's the Legend version,
[17:25] ---
the surface plating is perfect.
[17:26] ---
It was painted without using stickers.
[17:28] ---
The cape has been
replaced with real cloth!
[17:31] ---
This isn't the work of someone
who just started building Gunpla.
[17:35] ---
How on earth...?
[17:37] ---
You haven't seen anything yet!
[17:40] ---
Take a good look, Miss China.
[17:42] ---
This is the elegant, brave,
and magnificent true form...
[17:47] ---
...of my Knight Gundam!
[17:50] ---
I won't lose!
[17:56] ---
You can do it, Class Rep!
[17:57] ---
Iori!
[18:00] ---
You can't afford to look away!
[18:05] ---
Darn it!
[18:05] ---
Class Rep!
[18:12] ---
Goodbye, Miss China!
[18:15] ---
Adieu!
[18:22] ---
What?
[18:23] ---
It bounced back?
[18:27] ---
Whatever trick you played...
[18:39] ---
Cotton inside a Gunpla?
[18:41] ---
Why is there...?
[18:43] ---
What were you thinking?!
[18:45] ---
Well, Beargguy III's back story is that one day,
a cute teddy bear turned into a robot.
[18:53] ---
What kind of logic is that?!
[18:55] ---
I've had enough!
[19:05] ---
I-I can't move!
[19:08] ---
The cotton is stuck in the parts!
[19:10] ---
She stopped her move.
[19:12] ---
I've never seen a Gunpla like that...
[19:19] ---
What is this?!
[19:22] ---
I may have put in too much cotton.
[19:25] ---
Move!
[19:26] ---
Please move, my Knight!
[19:38] ---
I can't accept it...
[19:39] ---
I won't accept it!
[19:45] ---
Such a Gunpla Battle is unacceptable!
[19:59] ---
Battle ended.
[20:03] ---
Amazing, Class Rep!
[20:05] ---
Good job, China!
[20:13] ---
Oh, man.
[20:15] ---
Why did you lose
in the final round?
[20:17] ---
She couldn't help it.
[20:19] ---
She didn't have the parts
to fix that damaged arm.
[20:21] ---
But congrats on
coming in second, Class Rep.
[20:25] ---
It's all thanks to your help, Iori and Reiji.
[20:29] ---
Yeah, that's for sure.
[20:32] ---
Thank you.
[20:33] ---
No, I should thank you.
[20:37] ---
When I saw your Beargguy III,
[20:39] ---
I realized that you can build a Gunpla
using your own inspiration.
[20:43] ---
I was all caught up in Gundam's
setting and worldview...
[20:47] ---
And now I realize that.
[20:51] ---
Seriously, thanks, Class Rep.
[20:54] ---
Iori...
[20:58] ---
I'm going!
[21:00] ---
Wait! Where are you going?!
[21:03] ---
Back to the store!
[21:04] ---
I finally saw it. My own Gunpla!
[21:07] ---
Wait. Hold on, Sei!
[21:21] ---
Hello, Kousaka residence.
[21:23] ---
China, what's going on?!
[21:25] ---
Sei is even more caught up in
Gunpla building than before!
[21:29] ---
I think that's a good thing.
[21:31] ---
Huh?
[21:32] ---
He isn't troubled anymore.
He's found his way out.
[21:35] ---
Now he can move forward.
[21:37] ---
What do you mean?
[21:39] ---
I'm sure that Iori...
[21:43] ---
...is going to build a great Gunpla!
[21:49] ---
If there's a future you want to grab
Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[21:52] ---
No matter how many times you get hurt,
Nando kizutsuitemo
[21:55] ---
focus on your dreams
Yume wo mitakutte
[21:57] ---
That's how we get past the present
Ima wo koeteikunda bokutachi wa
[22:11] ---
Somehow, I was caught up in the flow of time
Nantonaku sugiteku toki ni nagasare
[22:18] ---
I was just dimly moving forward
Bonyari to susumu dake ja
[22:22] ---
As I walked, it felt like even my footprints...
Aruitekita michi ni ashiato sae mo
[22:28] ---
...were fading away
Nokosenai ki ga shitanda
[22:32] ---
I have a place to head to, with my fist in the air
Kobushi wo furiagete mukau basho ga aru
[22:38] ---
Let's try to question ourselves,
Jibun ni toikake
[22:40] ---
move forward with more strength
Motto tsuyoku fumidashite miyou
[22:45] ---
If there's a future you want to grab
Tsukamitai asu ga aru no nara
[22:49] ---
No matter how many times you get hurt,
Nando kizutsuitemo
[22:52] ---
focus on your dreams
Yume wo mitakutte
[22:54] ---
Get past the present
Ima wo koeteyuke
[22:57] ---
I don't want to turn away from the obstacles...
Tachihadakaru mono ni
[23:00] ---
...that stand in my way
Me wo somuketakunai
[23:02] ---
I don't wanna lose
Maketakunainda
[23:05] ---
What can I accomplish?
Nani ga dekiru no ka?
[23:07] ---
I want to believe in infinite power,
Mugen no chikara wo shinjitai kara
[23:13] ---
So I want us to keep challenging ourselves
Idomi tsuzuketai
[23:15] ---
Forever and always
Bokura wa itsumo
[23:19] ---
Iori Models
[23:19] ---
Sei! Sei!
[23:22] ---
Oh, Mr. Ral.
[23:24] ---
I finally finished my—
[23:25] ---
Sei, Kaiser lost!
[23:28] ---
What?!
[23:29] ---
The last World Tournament champion?
[23:32] ---
Yes.
[23:33] ---
He was defeated in the
Finnish qualifying tournament.
[23:38] ---
H-How could...
[23:43] ---
His opponent was...
[23:49] ---
A young girl!
[23:54] ---
Next Episode
[23:55] ---
Reiji, it's finally started!
[23:57] ---
No matter who our
opponent is, we won't lose.
[24:00] ---
Next episode, "The World Tournament Begins."

[24:02] ---
I feel like I'm dreaming.
