Let's drink a toast to Team Try Fighters!
Congratulations on clearing the first round of the West Tokyo block of the Gunpla Battle Japanese Championships!
With minor-friendly drinks, of course.
Cheers!
How was the match, Hoshino?
It was obviously a piece of cake!
I wouldn't go that far.
But I believe everyone in the team managed to show off their individuality very well.
That's right.
It was a battle that was worth watching.
Yuuma with his Lightning Gundam and its transformation capabilities,
and Sekai, who was able to make use of his Jigen Haoh Style kenpo in space.
He was able to fight as one with the Build Burning Gundam.
And Fumina's Winning Gundam.
Transforming from a Core Booster to a mobile suit definitely shocked everyone else in the arena.
Fumina, it looks like this unit still has many other hidden capabilities.
That's still a secret.
That's something you should be proud of.
Why did you enter the Championships?
Are you running away from our showdown?
Is that it!? Answer me, Yuuma!
Kousaka? What's wrong? You seem so far away.
Oh, no.
It's nothing.
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
に憧れてこの手を伸ばしたんだ
Do the best you can, through the laughter and the tears
全快出して泣いて笑ってまた
As we all took a step ahead under the cloudless skies
曇りよう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等の
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 get hurt or lose a part of ourselves
傷ついて失ってもまだ
We still 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,
もう気にはならないで BLAME と PAIN
Oh, just grab a hold of that glory and gold
ああ、掴み取るのさ栄光
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
It's in our very hearts and it's been burning hot and bubbling
僕等の胸の中にある沸騰して燃えて
Hold on to it
掴むんだ
Limits don't exist.
限界なんてない
Episode 6
The Tyrants of the Battlefield
Yajima Corporation sponsored Gunpla Battle Japanese Championship Under-19: The rules.
Each team will comprise of 3 students from middle or high school.
You can field up to three units such as mobile suits.
A support unit that isn't a mobile suit can be fielded and counted as one unit.
A mobile suit that can merge or split into multiple parts can be considered as one unit,
but if it splits like this, all three parts must be controlled by a single person.
Each team can only field one unit if it is a powerful and large mobile armour.
All three members of the team must control the mobile armour.
You can change the units for each battle, but once a battle starts, you cannot change your unit in the middle of the battle.
The battlefield is chosen at random by the system AI.
The time limit for each battle is 15 minutes.
The winner is the team that either defeats all opposing units, or has the most number of units left active after time runs out.
If the number of units remaining after time runs out is the same, i.e. a draw,
then a representative will be chosen from each side in a one-to-one battle.
Please understand all the rules in the Championships and enjoy the Gunpla Battles, everyone!
Why are we watching the video at a time like this?
Sekai might not understand if I just explained it, so I thought I should just show him a video instead.
So how is it, Sekai? Do you understand the rules of the tournament now?
He's sleeping!
I think you'd better give up, Hoshino.
Just like how anything multiplied by zero is still zero,
anything that a fool does will still be foolish.
I'm back!
It sounds like Mirai's back.
I'm sorry we ran out of drinks.
I'll get you some now.
Please don't mind us.
Let me help you out.
That's not necessary.
Mr Ral?
Why are you here?
We bumped into each other at the shopping district.
Our opponent for the second round has been decided.
Opponent?
Who is it, Mr Ral?
The science club of Seiren Metropolitan Technical College.
Seiren Technical... !
Seiren Technical? You mean... !
That's right. They don't have a plamodel club, but they have won many robotics competitions.
They're listed as one of the favourites to win the Gunpla Battle Championships.
So a strong opponent? Then they're a team that's worthy of us!
I have last year's tournament's video.
There should be a battle in there with Seiren Techincal.
Let's hurry up and watch the video to plan a strategy against them.
It's no use.
Seiren changes their Gunpla for each competition. For each match, even.
Learning such imprecise knowledge about them might backfire instead.
But...
In other words, we just need to make sure we're stronger than they are, right?
Well... that's true, but...
We should still be prepared for them.
Because all of the teams that have fought against them have this to say about Seiren.
No matter what tactics were employed, Seiren always manages to read ahead and press their opponents into losing.
That's right.
Seiren dominates the battlefield.
Team Try Fighters.
Looks like it's really Kousaka Yuuma that we need to watch out for.
I would think so.
The detailed work on the unit itself is one thing,
but he did have experience fighting in the National Gunpla Battle Championships when he was in elementary school.
His skill as a fighter is pretty good.
A powerful enemy indeed.
But if we put it another way, if we manage to stop Kousaka Yuuma, then our victory is assured.
Coach.
All that's left is a bare-fisted fighter with no ranged weapons and an SD Gundam.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Known as the godsent child of mechanical and electronics engineering, show me the power of your new weapon, Nishikawa!
Yes, sir.
As the top of your year in informatics, do what you can to collect data on the other team, Okamoto!
Predict their battle strategy!
Understood.
Use your power as the ace of sales that you picked up during your overseas internship and destroy the opposing team, Ishibashi!
Turn them into trash!
Yes, sir!
Victory will be ours; the science club of Seiren Technical.
Thank you.
Three years ago, Seiren was a veteran school that managed to get into the nationals...
If we manage to clear this stage, we'll be able to get even closer to the nationals ourselves!
Welcome to...
Sakai Minato!
What's with that face? I'm a customer, you know.
You should act more friendly.
If you don't like it, you can leave.
Our shop reserves the right to choose its customers.
That's saying something.
Then I'll have an IC.
IC?
What's that?
"IC" means "Iced Coffee" of course!
Don't you know even know that?
You Tokyo people really lack some general knowledge.
So why are you here?
The reason why you've started up Gunpla Battling again...
You still haven't told me yet.
To keep a promise with someone.
And to get back something that I lost.
Sounds like a classy reason to give.
I might use that reason myself next time.
Do whatever you like.
But looks like your battle will be over the day after tomorrow.
There's no way your team will beat Seiren Technical in your second round.
And why are you so sure?
It's obvious.
No matter how good your units are, your team simply fights the way they want; as individuals.
Gunpla Battles aren't something that simple that you can win without having any teamwork.
Hurry up and admit your battling is useless!
Concentrate on making your work for the Master Cup in August!
The builder's contest?
That's right! That's where we'll fight to see who's better!
There's no point to winning that competition if you're not in it!
Yes? This is Kousaka.
Hoshino?
What is it, Hoshino?
Calling us to come to the club room at this time of the night...
And with our Gunplas, no less.
There's something I want the two of you to see.
The power that's hidden within the Winning.
The power of the Winning?
That's right.
That's because I believe we'll definitely need this power in our second round!
Field 13 - Tundra.
Mock battle model, deployed.
I-It's huge!
A mega-size scale... !
Here I go!
Take a good look!
Battle ended.
Hoshino...
That was... !
This is the path that I came up with to get our victory.
It's the Winning Road!
And now, we will begin the third match of the second round of the West Tokyo block.
Such attacks are useless against the shields of the R-Gyagya!
You won't be able to even make a scratch!
That's right!
I strongly agree with that!
Th-That's... !
Shield! Shield! Shield!
My shields!
Battle ended.
The winner is Team Vase of the Northern Song Dynasty from Saint Odessa Girls' Academy.
We cleared the second round!
It's so exciting!
This victory...
I dedicate it to you, Sekai!
Well, I don't really want it.
Wh-
What!? But that's so... !
That's so mean!
It doesn't matter! He's still wonderful!
That's so dejecting!
Hoshino, where's Mr Ral?
He just sent me a message. He said he overslept so he's going to be late.
Right when we need some of his advice...
We just need to win this!
You're right.
If we can't get through a situation like this, then we can forget about even dreaming of getting to the nationals.
We will now continue to the fourth match.
Team Try Fighters of Seihou Academy Middle School section versus Team SRSC of Seiren Metropolitan Technical College.
Yuuma...
You can taste it for yourself...
... the power of Seiren.
All right! Let's dominate the battlefield!
Yes, sir!
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.
Those units... They're modified Ez8s from the 08th MS Team!
Battle start.
Hoshino Fumina, Winning Gundam!
Kousaka Yuuma, Lightning Gundam!
Kamiki Sekai, Build Burning Gundam!
Team Try Fighters!
Let's go!
Don't be too careless and go too far ahead.
We'll wait for them to make the first move.
Roger.
Okay.
This is Unit 3. Enemy located.
They are at Point TE32!
Looks like we can go with Plan 26.
All units, direct line communications have been established.
Unit 2, head to your standby point.
Unit 3, spread out the bugs!
Roger!
What are those lights?
A particle disturbance screen?
Are they trying to block off my long range beam weapons?
Then we'll have to fight up close!
... is what they will come up with.
All of you are already dancing on the palm of our hands... Try Fighters!
The enemy isn't attacking us.
I don't like this.
If you're a man, then you should just come up front and fight!
This is also a battle tactic.
Not everyone has a one-track mind like you.
What did you say!?
Our communications have been cut off!
What's going on?
A communications jammer!?
They're coming from behind... !
You're in the way, Sekai!
He can't hear me!
Where are they attacking from!?
There aren't any enemy units...
Don't tell me... !
Active camouflage!
Are they trying to keep us pinned down within the communications blackout area?
Where are you going, Sekai!?
Stop hiding and come out!
Kamiki Sekai. Excellent physical abilities.
But he has a very impulsive personality.
So his actions are also very hasty!
Why you... !
They've broken apart! Unit 2!
Roger!
This is nothing!
How about that!?
That explosion... !
Did he get shot down?
Sekai!
Hoshino Fumina.
The club president and team leader.
And...
She cares for her friends.
Exactly what our data says!
Hoshino!
Yuuma tends to be more careful, so he's not going to come out of hiding that easily.
Their battle strategy not only takes into account the specialties of the units, but the personalities of the pilots as well!
Seiren is dominating the battlefield!
Plavsky craft!?
No wonder they're one of the favourites... !
Even so, I still have the Winning Road!
I believe in you guys, Sekai, Yuu!
I have you now!
I did it!
A direct hit.
It split apart right before it hit!
What!?
That's the thing from yesterday... !
Oh no!
Hoshino's parts!
Winning Knuckle!
What!?
It docked!?
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Rock Breaking Bullet Fist!
That's... !
What a powerful shockwave!
The active camouflage!
That's so reckless... !
Yuu!
Communications are back!
Take it!
What's that?
Do you think I'll let you!?
He's locked on to me!?
Too bad. Looks like I'm already out of your range.
Whether you intend to run away or not...
... this Winning Launcher...
... will reach you for sure!
Th-That's... !
Unit 2 has been... !
This is payback!
Th-This... This isn't in our data!
Even Unit 3 has been... !
This is the end!
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Gale Thrust!
Impossible! We dominate the battlefield! How could we... !?
Battle ended.
The winner of the fourth match, Team Try Fighters of Seihou Academy, Middle School section!
He did it!
We did it!
I expected no less from you, Fumi.
We apologise, Coach.
Impossible...
There's no reason why our team that dominates the battlefield could possibly lose... !
You're late, Mr Ral!
Oh, I'm sorry!
I forgot to set my alarm.
L-Lieutenant Ral!
Still, well done. Congratulations on clearing the second round.
The Blue Giant is coaching that team... !
I-It was an utter defeat...
That was some excellent teamwork.
That's not it.
It's that SD.
It allowed the other two to be able to fight together.
That Gunpla was made and modified in order to do that.
That girl...
She's a fine woman.
Go fight!! Go fight!! Ready!!
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 end up answering all my uncertainties
枝分かれの 思考 自問自答して
Is this is the right way, so I question.
コッチで合ってるの question?
Why don't I just choose and make a motion.
出たトコ勝負の 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.
そ ら
宇宙の 彼方
The world's amazing, I'm sure I can find it if you're here with me,
Amazing the world! 一緒なら見つかりそうさ
(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)
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!!
光射す方角へ Dive!!
Go fight!! Go fight!! Let you go!!
Yo! Who's the club president here?
What business do you have?
Where is he?
Sudou, someone's looking for you.
What is it?
Name's Suga Akira.
I've been assigned here as of today.
Assigned?
I'm a transfer student. Nice to meet you.
So, where's my bunk?

Everyone has a reason to fight.
We have one.
And our opponent has one too.
