Gunpla Battle, combat mode, start up.
Model damage level, set to A.
Please set your GP base.
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
Field 1 - Space.
Please set your Gunpla.
Battle start.
I'm doing my best on the first wave, but...
I like Gundam.
I like Gunplas... !
But the person who promised to fight alongside me...
... has taken a different direction from me.
I don't want to give up!
Someone...
Please fight alongside me... !
I want to do it...
... I want to do Gunpla battles!
# ANIME-GUNDAM @ RIZON.NET
H-He's strong... !
Hey, you.
Have you seen the girl in this picture?
Episode 1
The Boy Who Calls Forth the Wind
Have you seen the girl in this picture?
I want to know where she is.
This girl's pretty cute... !
Is she your girlfriend?
That's not what I'm asking.
I'm asking if you've seen her or not.
I feel like I've seen her somewhere...
Where!?
I don't know!
But you just said you've seen her!
I'm sorry! Please don't be angry with me!
Hey! What are you doing over there!?
Oh, no, these guys suddenly... !
Save me, Mr Policeman! He's going to kill us!
Save us!
What are you saying!?
Perhaps I can hear your side of the story?
Seriously?
Today, I have a piece of great news to announce.
In yesterday's Artistic Gunpla Contest, the piece that was made by Kousaka Yuuma,
a second year high school student here at Seihou Academy, was awarded the splendid Grand Prix prize.
Kousaka, please come up to the stage.
Yuuma!
Kousaka!
Yuuma!
Yuu...
What do you mean you won't join the Gunpla Battle Club?
Why not?
I've lost my interest...
... in Gunpla Battles.
Miyaga...
Kousaka's really amazing.
As the club president of the Plastic Modeling Club, I'm proud to have such a talented underclassman like him under me.
Indeed.
Hoshino.
How long do you intend to stick with the Gunpla Battle Club?
The only reason the club hasn't been dissolved is because one of our alumnus happened to have won the World Championship before.
And that was already seven years ago.
It's just a glory of the past.
And as proof, you're finally the only member left in the club this year.
That because the Plastic Modeling Club poached the members from me!
You make it sound so distasteful.
They simply joined us because they see the attractiveness of a club that competes annually...
compared a club that gets knocked out right in the first round every year.
Besides, Gunpla Battles are pure nonsense.
Using the piece of work that you put your all into to fight?
And getting it destroyed if you lose?
That in itself is a contradiction in every way.
Originally, plastic model kits were made for people to enjoy building them.
Aiming for improving the completeness of your work is what you should be doing; it's the right way.
Hoshino.
I rate your abilities as a Gunpla Builder very highly.
The Plastic Modeling Club is always open to you.
I refuse!
I want to do Gunpla Battles!
Hoshino Fumina...
Stop being so stubborn.
Still, there's something attractive about that stubbornness of hers.
What's with that mantis-head man!? He's so full of sarcasm...
So pissed... He just keeps talking and talking...
High school second year student, Kamiki Mirai.
Please head to the staff room immediately.
Mirai, they're calling for you.
I repeat.
High school second year student, Kamiki Mirai.
Like I said... !
Those guys came at me by themselves all of a sudden!
Calling me cocky and all that!
And that's why you started a fight?
It wasn't a fight!
It's... you know... that thing...
Self-defence!
And you beat all those guys up yourself?
I just did a little of my stuff.
Karate?
The Jigen Haoh Style Kenpo! Heard of it?
Nope.
It's pretty small though...
Well, anyway, we've contacted your guardian.
Eh!? You told her everything?
Of course I did!
And you know what? It was a lot of work to track her down since you only have her name and no contact number.
Umm, excuse me.
Hmm?
I'm Kamiki Mirai, the guardian of Kamiki Sekai.
I'm really sorry for all the trouble that you went through.
It's okay... !
"Staff Room"
Entry to the Gunpla Battle Championships?
But Hoshino, each team requires 3 members.
If you're the only member, then...
I will find the members by the deadline of the submission!
Excuse me!
I'm Kamiki Sekai, the new transfer student.
A transfer student? There was no such thing reported during the staff meeting though.
I was supposed to be here over a month ago though.
A month!?
Why are you so late!?
Well, I happened to be training on a journey with my master...
Oh, by the way, what class am I supposed to be in?
Ah, wait here a while.
I'll ask the teacher in charge of your year.
Your name again, please.
Kamiki Sekai.
And your grade?
I'm a second year student.
Kamiki Sekai, second year student.
Wait here.
Okay.
Thanks!
You're a student here, aren't you?
I'm Hoshino Fumina, a third year student.
Nice to meet you, Mr Transfer Student.
Nice to meet you!
By the way, does this school have a Karate Club?
Karate Club?
No.
Then what about a Judo Club or Kendo Club?
Nope.
There's no club in this school that deals with fighting techniques.
What!?
Then what club should I join... ?
Say, are you interested in Gunpla?
Gunpla?
What's that?
Gundam plastic model kits.
Gunpla, for short.
You don't know?
Nope.
No way!
How can there be a boy in this world now that doesn't know what Gunpla is!?
What's this!? It's not like he just came from another world or something...
That Gun-whatever. Is it that famous?
Of course!
Hey, perhaps you'd like to try out Gunpla Battling!?
It's a real... no, an ultimate form of battling!
Ultimate form of battling!?
Wow, so there is a club that does fighting!
You should've told me about that earlier!
I'm sorry! Come, let's go to the club room.
Eh? But I...
It's okay, it's okay!
W-W-Wait a minute... !
Kamiki Sekai...
So he's in class 2-B...
Eh? Where did he go?
I don't see a dojo anywhere...
Sorry to have kept you.
This is it. A plastic model for the purpose of Gunpla Battling.
This is a Gunpla.
Oh...
I'm leaving!
W-W-Wait a minute!
What's that!? That's just a toy!
It's a plastic model! A Gunpla!
Let go... !
Gunpla Battle, simulation mode, start up.
Model damage level, set to C.
A Gunpla Battle takes place on top of this battle system.
Why did you just start explaining this thing with a smile!?
I mean, untie me!
Please set your GP base.
First, you set the GP base that contains information on the fighter and Gunpla.
You're ignoring me!?
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
How about it? It's pretty, isn't it?
Keep watching and you'll be amazed. These particles...
Field 2 - Desert.
... will turn into this!
It's like the real thing!
And...
If you set your Gunpla on your GP base...
The battle will begin!
Battle start.
Hoshino Fumina, Powered GM Cardigun, launching!
Wow, it's flying!
You can control the Gunpla any way you want using this console.
Amazing! It's almost as if it's alive!
Ah? Something's coming?
It's a sparring partner for the simulation mode.
Huh?
Well, just watch.
It fired a laser beam!?
There are weapons like these too!
What do you think? This is a Gunpla Battle!
Gunpla Battle...
Why don't you give it a try, Sekai?
I'll teach you how!
Okay, okay!
Just choose something you like.
Okay...
The 7th World Tournament Champion, Iori Sei, Reiji.
Th-This is...
Have you picked one out?
I'll take this one!
The Zeon forces' heavy mobile suit, the Dom?
That's a pretty tasteful choice.
But was there such a piece here before?
Now, just try moving it like how I showed you.
All right! Here I go!
Yeah, that's the way.
Sekai, try changing the move slot to the number 2 slot.
This?
I'm sliding along the ground!
This is a hover mode.
Amazing! This is fun!
If you keep moving... !
Huh?
You're going to go out of bounds!
Ow...
Where's the Gunpla!?
Thank goodness!
I-If you go out of bounds, the Gunpla stops moving immediately, so be careful.
O-Okay...
What is this... ?
Huh? Huh?
What are the two of you doing!?
I-I see, so that was just an accident.
I'm relieved.
Putting that aside, you're a new member of the club?
From the way you look, I don't think you've even tried building a Gunpla, much less battled in one.
Don't tell me you intend to drag an amateur like this down for the championships, do you, Hoshino?
And why not?
You'll only embarrass yourself.
Who are you anyway, butting in like this?
I'm the club president of the Plastic Modeling Club, Miyaga Daiki.
Is that how you talk to your seniors in high school? I can't accept that.
Return rudeness with rudeness.
That's what my master taught me.
Hmph. If you talk big like that, you must be pretty good at Gunpla Battles.
Care to try me out?
Of course. I know the basics of battling myself.
Wait a minute! Sekai only started his first battle today!
There are 2 more months until the regionals.
Do you think you have the time to take things so leisurely?
Then I'll join in the battle as well!
I'll back you up. You're okay with that, aren't you?
Sure, I don't mind.
Hey, it looks like President Miyaga is having a Gunpla Battle with a member from the Gunpla Battle Club!
Oh, a Gunpla Battle?
An Enact?
As expected from the president of the Plastic Modeling Club.
The workmanship is good!
This is nothing.
The members of the Plastic Modeling Club can make something of this level in about two days!
It's faster than it looks!
Hoshino!
No, you shouldn't move so far ahead!
Heh, what an amateur!
Sekai!
For someone as stubborn as you about Gunpla Battles, perhaps I should tell you the truth.
The executive branch of the student council is considering dissolving the Gunpla Battle Club.
Dissolving the club!?
A condition of that is if the Plastic Modeling Club is stronger than your club.
You... So that's why you instigated this battle...
That's despicable!
I tried to recruit you so many times, and yet you kept refusing me... !
It's because you kept rejecting my good intentions!
No one asked you to do that!
Y-You... !
I'm your opponent!
Sekai!
I'm fine, Hoshino.
I...
... have this!
What do you think you can do bare-handed!?
I'll turn you into shish kebab!
H-He stopped my blade with his hands!?
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Holy Fist Thrust!
My work... !
Sekai... He can move like that in his first Gunpla Battle?
It reminds me of seven years ago.
That young man, is he the coming of the next Reiji?
So what do you think of my fists!?
This is... the Jigen Haoh Style!
What!?
An attack!
Who is it!?
He's China's... !
Yuu?
So you came, Kousaka!
Come, show them! Show them just how useless their Battle Club is!
A surprise attack... Now you've done it!
I've been dodging but he's reading my moves!?
Stop! The battle is already over... !
Not yet!
I know. This Gunpla is shouting out to me.
I haven't lost yet.
I haven't lost yet!
What!?
There's another Gunpla inside that Gunpla!?
That's... ! That unit is... !
That's the Build Burning Gundam!
These moves... This mobility... !
Is this his... !?
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Gale Thrust!
What's this... ?
The wind is moving all the way outside of the system!
Sekai, he... !
He's calling forth the wind...
One more time... !
Battle aborted.
S-Sis!?
Sekai.
What are you doing? The teachers have been looking all over for you.
Ah, that's right!
That was my first meeting with Kamiki Sekai.
You've been bad, so you're not getting any dinner tonight.
What!?
No, it was our meeting.
The day that Team Try Fighters met for the first time!
Next Episode
Someone's come to trouble the Battle Club again!?
Then I'll take them on in my Gunpla!
Next Episode, Try Fighters, Formed!
Try Fighters, Formed!
I'll smash that wall with my fist!
