Dear Master, how are you?
It's me, Sekai.
Are you still training in Guyana?
I'm staying with my sister and I've started going to school.
I was a little taken aback when I found out the school had no martial arts clubs,
but I found something fun instead!
Have you heard of Gunpla Battles?
It's a competition by moving Gundam plastic models and fighting against others.
It might be a battle with toys, but don't think lowly of it.
The Gunpla moves as if it were my own hands and legs!
I've been told that martial arts might be dangerous and all, and I've been stopped before.
But with this, I can go all out and fight with everything I have!
Master, I will use Gunpla Battles to master the Jigen Haoh Style Kenpo that I learnt from you!
"Limits don't exist."
「限界なんてない」
"Absolutes aren't real."
「絶対なんてない」
"Limits don't exist," that's what you said to me
「限界なんてない」って君の言葉
I stretch my hands to you because you're what I want to be
見憧れてこの手を伸ばしたんだ
"I haven't done my best," you laughed and said again
「全開出してない」って笑ってまた
As we all took a step ahead under the cloudless skies
曇りのない空の下踏み出すのさ
over to that place
あの場所へ
# ANIME-GUNDAM @ RIZON.NET
It was the same thing that gave us our start
始まりなんて同じで
That sharp and heated knife just pierced right through
熱くなったナイフが僕らの
the centre of our beating hearts
胸を貫いた
We continue to run the race, in the rain when everything's wet
雨のレースの上走り続けて
Even if we lose sight of each other or get hurt
傷ついて見失ってもまた
Because we can't let ourselves forget
忘れられないから
The skies are gray but we're still showing off our faith
THE SKIES ARE GRAY BUT WE'RE STILL SHOWING OFF OUR FAITH
Don't care about any of that, the blame or pain,
もう気にもならないぜ BLAME と PAIN
Oh, just grab a hold of that glory and gold
OH つかみ取るのさ栄光
Take your heart, turn your flame on!
そのハートに FLAME ON
"There's no way," you said, but I think I'll go against that
「絶対ない」って言葉に逆らって
and stretch my hand up high to get the dream that I swore to get
誓った夢へとこの手を伸ばしてるんだ
There's no right way now, you can find the answer there,
正解なんてもうなくたって答えは
In our hearts that's where you'll find that unexpected memory
僕らの胸の中にあるふとした思いで
Hold on to it
掴むんだ
"Limits don't exist."
「限界なんてない」
Sekai, did you remember to bring what you need?
Don't worry.
What about your lunch?
I have it.
Good morning!
Ah, Hoshino!
You're here to pick him up, Hoshino?
Oh, not actually. It's not really my idea, more of his...
I'm here to pick you up, Sekai!
Huh!?
Umm, you're...
I'm Kousaka. Sekai's classmate, Kousaka Yuuma.
We made a promise to go to school together, so...
Hey! When did I make such a promise... !?
Wasn't it only yesterday?
Have you already forgotten about it?
Then shall we all head to school together?
Okay!
I get it. You're after my sister, aren't you?
What other reason would I have?
I thought you'd come crying over to let you join the Battle Club or something.
I don't need your permission for that.
It's something that Fumi- I mean, Hoshino, needs to decide.
I'd welcome you any time.
Thank you.
But there's just one problem.
President Miyaga, isn't it?
Yes.
Whether he'll agree to let me switch to the Battle Club or not...
If that's the case, then leave it to me! If that's the case, then leave it to me!
We're coming in!
And what business do you have with the Plamo Club?
You get it, don't you?
President Miyaga! Please approve the transfer of Kousaka Yuuma to the Battle Club!
This is so that we can enter the Gunpla Battle Championships together!
If you refuse, I'll just have to use force and...
I don't mind.
That's quick!
We have to respect the decisions of each member of the club.
If Kousaka wishes to transfer to the Battle Club, then I don't have any reason to complain.
Isn't that right, Eri?
As you said, President!
W-Who's that?
Was there such a pretty girl in the Plamo Club?
D-Don't tell me... !
V-V-V...
Vice-President!?
Bingo!
And so, Kousaka, feel free to go the the Battle Club or whatever other club you wish.
Even without you, as long as I'm the president, the Plamo Club will do fine.
Right, Eri?
It's like you said, President!
Excuse us!
What plamo should we make next, Eri?
How about an MS Girl, President?
Oh, that's a great idea!
W-Well, in any case,
as they said in a Gundam series, "This situation is a good thing for me!"
Episode 3
Her Name is Gyanko
I see, so you've finally found all three members.
I got it.
I'll complete the registration for the Gunpla Battle Championships.
Thank you!
Isn't this great, Hoshino?
Yes, sir! Thank you!
Mr Ral.
I'm not very familiar with Gunpla Battles.
I hope you can continue to help out by guiding the students.
Understood.
I, Ral, will accomplish my mission even if I have to do it unarmed!
You can pass that on to the Principal!
Well... You just have to do it normally...
Hoshino, let's head to the club room and get some practice!
Yeah!
Hoshino.
What is it?
Please let me apologise to you again!
I'm sorry.
I broke our promise and strayed away from Gunpla Battles...
The reason for that was because...
Two years ago, there was a certain battle that triggered it...
At that time, I...
I was...
If you don't want to say it...
Then you don't have to tell me.
The fact that you're back, and that Sekai has joined the club...
The fact that we can form a team of three and enter the Championships together...
All of that is good enough for me!
Okay!
The truth is, I've already come up with a team name!
What is it?
Team...
Try Fighters!
Show me what Team Try Fighters can do!
Hoshino Fumina, heading out!
Mock battle model deployed.
To be able to move like that when the difficulty is set to A...
The completeness of the model, and her piloting techniques...
Fumina's Powered GM Cardigun is very stable.
There's no doubt that she's the president of the Battle Club!
So this is Yuuma's Lightning Gundam.
It may have won the grand prize in the Artistic Gunpla competition, but it's not just for show.
This is nothing yet.
If I want to win the Championships, I have to tune this unit even further.
And on the other side of the spectrum...
Sekai, take better aim!
I'm trying, but...
Damn, why can't I hit anything!?
Because you suck.
Shut up, Yuuma!
Aim carefully...
This is just too slow!
I have this!
It's the Jigen Haoh Style Kenpo!
Battle ended.
How about that!?
But that was supposed to be shooting practice...
I thought you were just an amoeba...
But it seems you're not even a mitochondria.
Are you making a fool of me!?
I'm not making a fool of you, you're already a fool.
The Build Burning Gundam is crying, you know.
Build Burning Gundam?
That's the name of your Gunpla!
You don't even know that!?
I don't know how you got a hold of that, but...
This Gunpla is a modified version of the unit used by Iori Sei during the 11th World Championships.
It's a Gunpla that holds the potential to be world class!
And yet, an idiot like this is using it...
Stop calling me names!
That's enough of the arguing.
I've seen your skills in the mock battles earlier.
How about a real battle now?
I will fight against you in my favourite unit, the Gouf R-35!
The Gouf R-35!
It's Mr Ral's Gunpla with the nickname of the Blue Giant!
It's wonderful... !
I get it that the robot's name is "Gouf", but...
What does the R-35 mean?
It's short for "Ral, 35 years old."
35 years old!?
Hmm? What is it!?
Nothing...
I think it's wonderful... !
Come, let's do it! A real Gunpla Battle!
Wow, you guys are really at it.
Sir!
I was wondering if there was anything I could do.
I'm sorry for going ahead without asking you guys, but I went and asked for an exhibition match.
An exhibition match!?
That's great!
Umm... But... What about my Gouf... ?
Thank you so much, sir!
Well, this is the least I can do to help.
That's more than enough.
Looks like I, Ral, have been forgotten in the midst of practice.
So who are we fighting against?
The Plamo Club from Saint Odessa Girls Academy.
What!?
Saint Odessa Girls...
A girls school?
Just because they're girls, don't think they'll be a pushover, Sekai.
Saint Odessa got into the top 4 of the West Tokyo regionals last year.
And last year, our own Battle Club was defeated by Saint Odessa in the first round of the preliminaries.
Let me be clear.
They're strong.
What a nice sound.
Sorry about this, Mirai.
I didn't mean to call you in for a photoshoot on presents at the last minute.
That's okay. Don't worry about it.
This is a Gunpla, isn't it?
There's been a rise in the number of girls who're building Gunpla recently, so my wife thought I should use it.
Do you like Gunpla, Mirai?
Not really, but...
My younger brother has just started on Gunpla Battles.
And he seems to be having a lot of fun.
I heard the Gunpla Battle Club is having an exhibition match!
With who?
Saint Odessa Girls Academy!
The famous girl school with lots of cute, rich girls!?
Hey, let's go!
Yeah!
Look at the boys.
By the way, I heard we're fielding Kousaka on our side.
What? Really!?
I'm going!
It's almost time.
It looks like they're here.
It's been a while, Fumina.
That's right, Gyanko.
Gyanko?
Her real name is Sazaki Kaoruko.
But she's been using the Zeon's Gyan-type mobile suits since elementary school, so I called her Gyanko as a nickname.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, Fumina.
But before that, isn't there something else you should be saying instead?
We took a lot of trouble to come all the way here to answer your request because you just have to have an exhibition match.
Th... ...u.
What? I can't hear you!
Thank you!
Well said.
Weren't you the only club member left this year, Fumina?
Well, they're probably just some people you rounded up to make up the numbers you needed.
Kaoruko! The one with the glasses! He's cute!
And the other one looks like a really naughty boy! I'm getting the jitters!
You're Kousaka Yuuma, aren't you?
The one who won the grand prize in the Artistic Gunpla competition.
Indeed.
But just because a plamo is made well doesn't mean it guarantees you a win in a Gunpla Battle.
I know that very well.
Don't forget that I'm here too!
No, you can go ahead and forget about him.
What do you mean by that!?
In my mind, you can't even contribute to our fighting strength.
What did you say!?
Stop it! Both of you!
Oh look, Kaoruko! Those two boys are flirting with each other!
It gives me the jitters!
They aren't even 1 / 100th as charming as my brother, Susumu.
Come on! Let's start the Gunpla Battle!
Gunpla Battle, combat mode, start up.
Model damage level, set to B.
Please set your GP base.
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
Field 3 - Forest.
Please set your Gunpla.
Battle start.
Hoshino Fumina, Powered GM Cardigun!
Kousaka Yuuma, Lightning Gundam!
Kamiki Sekai, Build Burning Gundam!
Team Try Fighters... !
Launching!
Gyanko isn't using a Gyan!?
Is that the R-Jarja?
That's the unit that the Neo Zeon forces created using the Gyan's design as a base.
As expected of Sazaki's younger sister.
They're really particular.
That's right! And its name is the R-Gyagya!
Just like last year, our team, The Vase of the Northern Song Dynasty, will emerge victorious, Fumina!
I swear that on this shield that my brother has given me!
Yuu, head back and provide cover fire and snipe!
Roger!
Sekai, we're going to defeat the enemy, one at a time!
Two on one?
Then isn't that like we're bullying them?
It's strategy! It's a tactic we need to use to win!
I'm going!
One sniper and two attackers... !
A typical formation!
Kaoruko!
Great sniping.
No wonder he won the grand prize...
Head to his blind spots!
Roger!
Too slow...
You're in the way, Sekai!
Sekai, you're heading too far out ahead!
So you want to go one-on-one?
That's great sportsmanship!
Of course... not!
There are three robots!?
The Jet Stream Attack!?
Heading so far ahead without any weapons!?
He's so foolish, I'm getting the jitters!
Sekai!
That idiot... !
How could he fall for a classic move like that!?
One down...
You're up next, Fumina!
Attacking in waves!?
In a real battle, once a difference of 20 percent in firepower opens up, the outcome is all but certain!
If it's three versus two, then our victory is assured!
This is the end, Fumina!
For you, that is!
What... !?
Now we're on even ground.
Not really!
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Crimson Fist of the Azure Sky!
Mahiru!
Why you... !
For someone who keeps losing in the first round every year... !
There's too many!
I can't dodge them all!
Don't worry!
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Whirlwind Tornado!
What the hell is that move!?
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Holy Fist Thrust!
I-I'm going to get sucked out!
My R-Gyagya is... !
Gyanko!
Kaoruko! Kaoruko!
W-Why... ?
That's because you really like Gunpla, don't you?
And this too.
This shield is pretty amazing!
You... What's your name?
Sekai. I'm Kamiki Sekai.
Sekai...
It's my loss.
Concession signal confirmed.
Battle ended.
Wow! The Battle Club won!
Yuuma!
Well done!
It looks like we can really show something during the preliminaries at this rate!
You really saved the day, Sekai!
It was nothing!
If you hadn't moved ahead so needlessly, I would've settled this with my sniping.
You're the one who made a mess of the situation, Sekai.
Does it matter? We won!
It was just beginner's luck!
It's skill!
That's enough! Stop fighting!
Kaoruko...
I'm sorry...
Sekai...
Kamiki Sekai.
Go fight! Go fight! Ready!
GO FIGHT! GO FIGHT! READY!
Go fight! Go fight! Let you go!
GO FIGHT! GO FIGHT! LET YOU GO!
Putting on a sullen face this one day
冴えない面して ONE DAY
Doesn't feel like I can do it this way
難攻不落の THIS WAY
All my branching thoughts, I think I need to sort my feelings out
枝分かれの思考 気持ち直して
Is this is the right way, so I question.
こっちであってるの QUESTION
Why don't I just choose and make a motion.
出たとこ勝負の MOTION
Staggering ahead, and moving forward under a rainy sky
よろめいて進む 泣き空の下
Judging things by stereotyping
ステレオタイプ なんて
I'll dropkick you to the ground if you do that.
決めつけないで ドロップキックするぜ
Take my hand and let's go, let's take off and fly!
手を取り合って飛び出すんだ
Fly away higher
FLY AWAY HIGHER
Beyond the skies that we see.
空の彼方
The world's amazing, I'm sure I can find it if you're here with me,
アメイジングザワールド 一緒なら見つかりそうさ
Go together
GO TOGETHER
At supersonic high speeds
音速のハイスペードで
Joining up the little lights that flash and flash from deep within our hearts.
胸に光る点と点を繫ぎ合わせ
Like a rainbow
LIKE A RAINBOW
We can find out with this lasting bond that we share
揺るぎない絆で FIND OUT
Let's dive right into where the light shines most bright.
光指す方角へ DIVE
Go fight! Go fight! Let you go!
GO FIGHT! GO FIGHT! LET YOU GO!
I heard you guys won the exhibition match yesterday.
That's great!
Well, that was really nothing... !
Huh?
Gyanko?
Why is she here?
Good morning, Sekai!
Oh, you're the one from yesterday!
I made you lunch.
Please, take it and try it.
Seriously!? It's okay!? Thanks!
Bye!
Okay! Thanks!
All right! Now I got two lunches! This means I can have one for brunch!
Sekai... Do you know the meaning of that lunch?
Lunch is lunch.
What other meaning is there?
So he really doesn't get it...
That's the kind of brother I have.
Huh?
Next Episode
Sekai! Let's go to a Gunpla paradise!
A Gunpla paradise?
It's really amazing!
