This is where the World Championships used to be held.
This was the site of the PPSE Stadium.
And now, all that's left here is a monument with the names of the past world champions carved into it.
And the reason it was torn down was because of a Plavsky particle crystal inside the stadium that went out of control.
But because of the work of a few excellent fighters, they were able to destroy the crystal.
They were able to prevent the worst from happening.
It's been seven years since that incident.
Because of them, we are able to continue having Gunpla Battles.
And heated battles will continue again this year.
The venue for the deciding matches...
... is the sacred ground for new Gunpla Battles!
Its name is... !
... the Yajima Stadium!
The restless wings we have are beckoning, so we took off without a tailwind.
風を待つ翼が 待ち切れず駆け出す
And as we take off into the skies, the frozen sun beats down upon our...
僕たちを照らした 凍てついた太陽
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Take off those bounds
限界なんて
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Cast them off into the ground
捨てて行くんだ
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Loneliness is something that can't break me
孤独になんて壊せない
What lies beyond the endless dreams are
終わらせない夢の先
What I hope is a boundless future
終われなき未来だろう
Just put your fate in your hands, and believe that you just can
信じてみろ 自分だけに
Just do what you can.
出来ることを
If I were to choose to take just one thing
一つだけ掴むなら
I'd know what to take, there's no need to think
迷わずに選ぶだろう
What I will grab hold of, instinctively think of;
絆だけを掴み取るんだ
Our bond.
本能
Let's take off and fly away, into the blue skies today.
果てなき空 飛び立て今
Fly away
# ANIME-GUNDAM @ RIZON.NET
So this is the venue for the Nationals...
The Yajima Stadium.
This venue that is only used for Gunpla Battles will be the place for your decisive battles.
We're finally here... !
Yeah.
Coming here... and battling here... I've always been dreaming of it!
Yuu.
Thank you for keeping your promise from when we were kids.
It's not really... I just...
Thank you.
What with this feeling that everything's over?
The battle is only about to begin, right?
Yeah, you're right!
Come on, let's go to the dormitory.
Okay!
This is a lot of people!
It's because there are representatives from each prefecture.
A total of 49 teams.
Including all the people involved with the event itself, there are easily over 300 people here.
They're the ones with us during the training camp...
Gabai Institute from Kagoshima.
And of course, I'm here as well.
Y-You're...
Umm...
Who is he again?
It's Karima!
Karima Kei from Kanagawa's Honmoku Academy!
It's Gunpla Academy.
They're in the middle of a six-year winning streak.
They're the first seed and this year's defending champion!
They say that their coach, Allan Adams, used to be the director of development in PPSE.
It's Kijima Wilfred.
The team's ultimate ace who continued being a regular after moving up from the middle school section.
Adou Saga.
Informally known as Dead End Saga.
There's a rumour going on that he's destroyed over a thousand Gunpla already.
There doesn't seem to be any sign of last year's regular, Suga Akira.
It seems that he had transferred to a different school.
Would that be considered good news then?
Who can tell?
Kijima Wilfred!
Kamiki... Sekai.
Don't you lose before you come up against us!
What's with him?
Looks like he dissed Gunpla Academy.
That Sekai...
He's making enemies again for no good reason... !
That's... !
What's wrong?
Yuu!
Man, that was close!
After troubling the people around me and going on my knees, I finally managed to get into one of the teams.
After the trouble I went to, my reunion with my rival, Yuuma, has to be a lot more dramatic than this!
You're Sakai Minato of the Gunpla Shingyo Style!
It's been a while, Kousaka Yuuma.
Let me fight against you in my ultimate Gunpla!
Man, that really sounds like how it was in "Char and Sayla's Reunion!"
If you don't press a button to say where you want to go, the elevator doesn't go anywhere, you know.
I-I-Isn't that you, Kousaka?
What an incidence.
You mean "coincidence."
Th-Thanks for the correction! Bye!
Are you participating in the Nationals?
Perhaps because the Gunpla that you made lost in the West Tokyo regionals?
Or am I wrong?
Yeah, that's right! It's exactly what you said!
Don't you forget this, Yuuma!
I'm going to use the ultimate Gunpla that I made to make you and your friends cry and... !
I didn't want to have such an ugly reunion with him!
Episode 15
Try Fighters, Reborn!
Sakai Minato of the Gunpla Shingyo Style.
Oh, the one I battled against in G-Muse!
That weird guy who talks with that Osaka accent?
Yeah. That Sakai Minato appears to be participating in the Nationals as part of the team representing Osaka.
Isn't that right?
Yes.
That's exactly right.
Then I guess we're rivals now.
Please take it easy on me, Sakai.
That's just like you, Fumina! Your gentle words go straight to my heart!
But if we do fight each other, I'm afraid I can't go easy on you guys.
Say, say, what kind of Gunpla are you using in the tournament?
If it's from the Shingyo Style, then it must be an amazing piece of work!
Well, that might be true!
You'll be surprised when you hear it!
It's a special unit I made, just for this tournament! I used all the plastic modeling techniques I know to make it!
And what Gunpla is it based on?
The Double Zeta!
Wait! Why do I have to give my secrets away to the enemy!?
Looks like you have at least a bit of brains.
Taking me for a fool... !
Whatever it is, my Gunpla is a million million times more powerful than your Lightning!
A million million... ?
What are you? Ten years old?
Let me tell you, if you think that Yuuma's Gunpla is like it was before, then you're mistaken.
What did you say?
It's been reborn for the Nationals!
And its name is the Lightning Gundam Fu- !
You mustn't spill our secrets to our opponents in the tournament!
What are you doing!? You can't go around telling people that!
Oh crap. I forgot we have an idiot on our side too.
Oh, Sekai... !
Kousaka Yuuma.
He's the builder who won the Artistic Gunpla Contest that was held in the spring.
The noisy one with the Osaka accent is Sakai Minato of the Gunpla Shingyo Style.
So it looks like the best builders from the east and west are both participating.
It doesn't matter.
The Nationals isn't something that can be easily won by simply building a beautiful Gunpla.
Our target is, after all, Gunpla Academy.
How is your right wrist, Adou?
It's completely healed.
And this time, it comes with the doc's approval.
That's good.
How is the progress with the new unit?
She started building it early, so it will be completed in time.
Don't worry, Uncle.
I told you to call me "Coach" when we're here.
That's right.
Director Allan!
It's "Coach," Suzuki.
I-I'm sorry.
What's so urgent?
I've obtained the list of team members participating.
There's a worrying name among them.
A worrying name?
Yes.
In the team representing Miyagi...
One of the member's names is Inose Junya.
Inose!
Inose Junya, you say!
Who is he, Wilfred?
That's right. Shia doesn't know.
Even though we were a five-time champion, he was the one person we were unable to defeat.
He participated in the Nationals two years ago, went up against Sleggar, and they ended in a draw.
If it were me, I would've crushed him.
Inose Junya didn't participate in last year's tournament, but who could've guessed that he'd become the Miyagi representative this year.
Is he powerful?
That's right.
He's powerful.
He uses kenpo.
I'm so full!
They provide food, and there's even a bath and a bed!
When I was traveling during my training, it's almost always camping out! So this place really feels like paradise!
Exactly what kind of life have you been leading?
We've already finished our Gunplas, Yuuma. There shouldn't be any more need to fiddle with them, is there?
I'm making spare parts.
The battle damage is set to A according to the National tournament rules.
We'll be getting damage far above what we got during the regionals.
About the Gunpla during the battle, Sekai...
He's really quite a cheeky brat.
Tomorrow will be the opening ceremony, the announcing of the bracket pairings, and the first battle of the tournament.
We'll definitely win this.
With the new Winning...
And with everyone!
It's more like he's boorish than cheeky!
I can't believe this idiot's blood-related to Mirai!
Over here! Over here!
I'm sorry I'm late!
Let's hurry up and go in!
The opening ceremony's already started!
Sure!
Both of you, hurry!
O-Okay!
Sekai and the others... !
Why are they still here at a time like this?
It's all because Yuuma didn't wake up!
It's because your snoring was so loud!
Whatever! Just hurry!
And now, we have come to the end of the opening ceremony.
And now, we will announce the pairings for the tournament.
Looks like we managed to make it somehow... !
The presenter will be the image character for this tournament!
It's all Yuuma's fault.
You mean it's your fault!
What did you say!?
Kamiki Mirai!
Huh?
S-Sis!?
Why is she... !?
She's so pretty!
I'm the image character for the championships! My name is Kamiki Mirai!
Let's all fight fair and square and aim to win the tournament, everyone!
I'll be cheering you on!
B...
Beautiful!
Mirai...
This is okay, Yuuma?
Your rivals have just gone up by a lot in a very short span of time!
This is bad!
And now, from the 13th Gunpla Battle Japanese Under-19 Championship Tournament...
These are the tournament pairings!
Here we go... !
Tadaa!
Our match is...
No way!
We're in the very first match of the very first day!?
It's immediately after this!?
Both of you, hurry up and get prepared!
Okay!
Oh? Right off the bat.
Try Fighters. So that burning young man will make his appearance.
Sekai's team's opponent is...
This is bad.
Huh?
The representatives from South Hokkaido, Okhotsk Academy.
They're up against one of last year's best eight?
My condolences, Yuuma.
Going up against a strong opponent in their first battle.
But if they clear this obstacle, they can ride the wave that follows.
Sekai, Hoshino, Kousaka...
Do your best!
Both of you, are you prepared and ready for this?
Of course!
I'm up for it!
Then let us show our rivals the power of our new Gunplas!
Okay!
Team Try Fighters!
Go fight!
We will now begin the first match.
West Tokyo representatives, Seihou Academy middle school section, Team Try Fighters, versus...
South Hokkaido representatives, Okhotsk Academy, Team Amorphous!
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.
It's Fumina's new Winning!
Looks like she really did modify it.
Its backpack... !
He improved it!?
That's Sekai's...
My rival's Gunpla.
Battle start.
Hoshino Fumina, Star Winning Gundam!
Kousaka Yuuma, Lightning Gundam Full Burnern!
Kamiki Sekai, Try Burning Gundam!
Team Try Fighters, launch!
Heading out!
Let's go!
Conserve your particle energy until we get into battle range, Sekai.
Hop on, Sekai.
Sorry for the trouble, Yuuma!
Let's go, Yuu!
Roger!
I can see our opponents!
They're in formation!
The Kyrios and Raider...
And a Gabthley.
They're all transformable flying types.
Let's use pattern 6 to split up their formation.
Roger!
Go!
He's coming here alone!?
He's not stopping!
Let's show them, Try Burning!
Let's show them our new power!
Yoshiya!
That's what he used during the training camp!
Why you... !
Funnels!
Take this!
It cut the beam!?
This is the power...
... of the reborn Winning!
How dare you... !
Trans-Am!
His unit turned all red?
He's really fast!
I'll go!
Do you think you can catch up to a Trans-Am Kyrios without even transforming!?
W-What!?
Why is he catching up!? While in Trans-Am, I should be releasing three times the normal particle output!
You mean his base stats... are outperforming my Trans-Am!?
Damn! Move! Move!
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Meteor Corkscrew Punch!
Battle ended.
The winning team of the first match, West Tokyo representatives Seihou Academy middle school section, Team Try Fighters!
Jigen Haoh Style...
Kamiki Sekai.
Tomorrow is a day I want to touch.
触りたい明日がある
It's something that I want to feel.
自分で確かめたい
Dislike or like? Now which is it?
キライ 好き どっちだろう
Probably challenges are journeys,
たぶん挑戦は JOURNEY
wandering through roads that you don't know,
分からない道彷徨い
experiencing joy of many magnitudes.
何倍もの喜びでも
Before I started, I was too scared to go.
走り出すまでは怖くて
Now that I've started I can't even begin to slow.
走り出したら止まらない
I must have been awaiting
GO SIGN 待ってたんだね
for a GO sign to appear; My heart is right now
心セーフまま 何かを
filled with a burning flame to search for something out there.
探したいその情熱で
Let's meet up countless times
何回も出会おう
(With you)
（君と）
I want to see you every time
その時に君は
With sincerity, differently
違う本気見せて
(Show it to me)
（見せてよ）
Let's find some new things.
新しいこと
(With me)
（僕と）
We have the power to do that.
探し出す力
Remember just where it all comes from.
忘れじゃダメなんだよ
Earnest You, Earnest Me, we can go together
本気の君が本気の僕と
TODAY
On a trip together with a smile
笑いかける旅が
EVERYDAY
I like it, I like it, on an aimless compass-less journey.
好きさ、好きさ、コンパスなしの JOURNEY
I LIKE
And now, we will begin the fourth match.
Scanning for enemies. Keep your guard up.
Something is coming from above!
What!?
This Gunpla is what I have put my all into!
This is the essence of the Gunpla Shingyo Style!

And the veil on Kijima Shia's Gunpla has finally been lifted!
