[00:07] ---     Keyakigaoka Middle School Art Exhibition [00:08] ---     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] ---     J's Dining Table     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!!

[03:51] ---     Everything's gonna be alright!! (Alright) [03:55] ---     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!

[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!
