If I'm fighting as a team, then Aiba and Tomita might suit me best.
Assuming their crude behaviour is just their unique personality, I feel they are dependable.
Master Lucas.
The technical staff of the Nemesis Foundation are requesting a meeting with you.
The staff from the foundation?
I believe they were dispatched by the chairman when he heard you had joined this country's Gunpla Battle Championship, Master Lucas.
Can you tell them to pretend to support me and enjoy their sightseeing in Japan?
Understood, sir.
Honestly, Gramps is just a little too overprotective.
"If you want to see your team win Gunpla Battles, then go and do it yourself!"
That's exactly what I'm doing, Aila Jyrkiäinen.
I would never leave something so enjoyable to someone else.
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
Sekai, have you finished filing the parts?
How's this?
Wow, you really brought out the surfaces.
You're unexpectedly good at this.
During my journeys while training with my master, I often had to do a lot of things myself, like cooking and stuff.
I guess that must've come in handy!
Exactly what kind of life were you leading?
When I look at the parts that Sei made, they feel so perfect that I feel like sighing at my own work.
He was my age when he used the Gunpla he made to dominate the World Championships.
If you want to talk about this in the context of Gundam, Sei's a monster.
I wonder when I'll be able to make something just as good.
It may take some time, but I'm sure we'll get there.
After all, we'll still continue to work with Gunplas for a long time.
You're right.
Then would I be able to make a Gunpla like the Try Burning one day?
That's impossible.
What!?
Hot-blooded Gunpla Battles!
This is the tenth day of the Gunpla Battle Japanese Under-19 Championship.
The quarter finals are over and we're finally down to the top four!
Let us hear what we should look out for during the coming semifinals from our Gunpla Battle analyst, Rainer Cziommer.
Mr Cziommer, please.
You're not going to watch the TV?
Your favourite annoucer, Mirai, is on.
I'm recording it.
That sounds like you, all right.
The semifinals...
I never imagined our team will end up being one of the top four.
You're the one who said you wanted to continue fighting Gunpla Battles as long as possible.
That's true, but...
Just wait and see.
I'll make this team into the best team in Japan.
You seem pretty relaxed.
Even though the semifinals will begin tomorrow, right after the drawing.
This is a congratulatory toast.
To celebrate winning the tournament before it happens?
To celebrate the appearance of formidable rivals.
You were wishing for that yourself when you were still Yuuki Tatsuya, weren't you?
Someone that you can fight hard against to help each other improve each other's skills.
Yeah.
The members of my team are wishing for the same thing.
A powerful enemy...
An opponent good enough to relieve the mundane...
Someone who is as talented as one's self...
I'm hoping they will continue to challenge themselves.
Not just with the champions from the Under-19... but in the open tournament one day.
So they can spread their wings around the world.
I'm pretty sure the sponsor, the Yajima Corporation, hopes for the same thing.
That's why they've set the damage level to A in the Nationals, in accordance with the World Championship rules.
To the youngsters who will be spreading their wings in the near future.
To the future of Gunpla.
Episode 21
Azure Wings
And now, we will be drawing the match-ups for the semifinals for the Gunpla Battle Japanese Under-19 Championship!
Let us begin the draw!
Here we go!
The first round of the semifinals will be Shizuoka representative from Gunpla Academy, Team Celestial Sphere versus...
Tokushima representative from Granada Academy, Team Von Braun!
The second round will be West Tokyo representative from Seihou Academy, middle school section, Team Try Fighters versus...
Osaka representative from Tendaiji Academy, Team Build Busters!
Our opponent will be...
Tendaiji Academy!
That's too bad.
I was looking forward to fighting against you during the semifinals.
So you're really a participant in the tournament!
Looks like I'll have to wait for the finals to enjoy myself.
That's not going to happen.
We'll be the ones who will fight against Sekai and his team in the finals, Gunpla Academy.
It might be disrespectful to the European champion, but this is one victory that we cannot give up.
It's too bad that both your hopes will be going up in smoke.
Try Fighters are destined to lose to us in the semifinals.
I won't let that happen!
We'll be the ones who will win!
We have our own reasons not to lose!
That's enough of that!
All your blabbing is giving me a headache.
There's just one simple fact.
The strong will win, and the weak will lose.
That's all there is to it.
That's true.
Simple is best.
Well, I have to get prepared, so...
Good luck to everyone.
Let's head to the waiting room too.
Let's tune our Gunplas until the very last minute!
Yeah!
Got it.
A battle between Gunpla Academy and Granada Academy.
Which team do you think will win, Toshi?
It'll be Gunpla Academy.
Their strength will not falter just because the other team got a helper.
Most people believe Gunpla Academy will win, isn't it?
But after fighting them ourselves, we know better.
The true power of Lucas Nemesis has no limit.
There's a good enough chance that the outcome might be an upset!
And now, we will begin the first round of the semifinals.
Shizuoka representative, Gunpla Private Academy, Team Celestial Sphere, versus...
Tokushima representative, Granada Academy, Team Von Braun!
Aiba, Tomita, I'm counting on you guys to keep to the plan I told you about earlier.
To think you'd pick a couple of reserves like us.
I guess the champion has a lot of leeway.
It's because I believe that the two of you will follow the plan that I made.
The coach has also given me his blessing.
I'm counting on you guys.
Let's do what needs to be done.
This is a chance to defeat Gunpla Academy.
There's no way we'll let something like that slip away.
That's fine with me.
This is a battle against the European champion.
This is a good way to test if we're ready to head to the open tournament.
Let's show the world the true ability of Gunpla Academy.
Yes, Wilfred.
I'm itching to start...
There's no need to comment on this battle.
We just need to watch it closely.
Yes.
Gunpla Battle, combat mode, start up.
Model damage level, set to A.
Please set your GP Base.
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
Field 8 - Sky.
Please set your Gunpla.
Battle start!
Kijima Wilfred, Transient Gundam.
Adou Saga, Gundam The End.
Kijima Shia, G Portent.
Team Celestial Sphere, let's fly!
Now then, as we have planned.
Team Von Braun...
Lucas Nemesis.
Crossbone X-1 Full Cloth...
Heading out!
The Full Cloth is heading straight for us!
Is he intending to take us on alone!?
What pretty moves.
Go, Fangs!
He destroyed my Fangs in a single shot!?
I'm not done yet!
How about this one!?
Adou!
You're good!
I can't get enough!
He changed form!
Now then, let's do this!
I can't get enough!
I've been waiting for an opponent like you!
Not bad!
Kijima!
The Full Cloth is a unit that's made for high gravity.
If I take into account the high thrust... !
Over there!
That was a pretty good performance.
Bad habits too.
I'll rendezvous with Aiba's unit.
This hole that they made...
Can I make use of it?
Did you get him, Wilfred?
No, I didn't get any feedback.
Still, the firepower and mobility of that Full Cloth...
Where exactly is he storing that amount of particles in his unit?
One of them has shown itself!
I'm leaving this to you, Shia.
What about you?
I'm going to back up Adou.
It might be tough for him to handle alone.
Roger!
You won't hit me!
A signature from behind me!?
The Core Fighter from the Full Cloth!?
A particle transformation field!?
That functionality should've been omitted from the HG scale model... !
Did he improve it that much!?
Don't chase them too far! Go and stand by at the prescribed location!
I got it!
Wilfred!
What's wrong, Shia?
I've been hit by the Full Cloth!
What!? Did he turn around and head back there?
He made use of the hole you made, Wilfred!
What!?
He's already back here!?
How is it that he can emit that many particles!?
Don't tell me... !
Chase after him!
Got it!
If you think you've defeated me like this, then you're sadly mistaken!
I'm ready!
I'm docking!
They came chasing after me knowing it'll be disadvantageous to them!?
Did they find out my plan?
Aiba, head to the next resupply point!
He's quite the slave driver!
Let's flank him from both sides!
All right!
You're mine!
What!?
He blocked that attack!?
I'm not done yet!
Dead End... !
I-field!
... Finger!
I'll destroy you with this... !
I won't let you keep that up!
His output isn't dropping.
There has to be some trick to it!
The level of particle output from the Full Cloth that doesn't drop...
Support units that don't show themselves much...
I see! So that's it!
The transfer of compressed particles is at 26%.
Thanks for taking the role of resupplying me.
Just make sure you show some results.
So you're getting resupplied by your own units!
He's faster than I predicted!
Tomita!
Head to where Aiba is!
I'll hold them off here!
Impudent!
I thought I said I won't let you go any further!
The Full Cloth... !
How dare you... !
I'm sorry, Tomita.
Lucas!
Over here!
T-That unit is... !
You mustn't underestimate the G Portent.
That should've been a fatal blow... !
Three against one...
It's still too early to lose hope!
Wilfred, we only have two minutes left.
If we just leave it as it is, it'll be our win.
Don't be stupid, Shia!
Adou's right.
I do not wish for such an incomplete victory!
Go ahead, Kijima.
You can have him.
You have my thanks.
Let's go, Transient!
He wants to go one-on-one!?
Is he just being confident?
Or is he... ?
... is he as big a Gunpla fanatic as myself!?
If I had to pick, I'd say I'm the latter!
Full mode!
Transient...
... Burst!
T-This light is... !
These are the wings...
... that will carry us into the future!
The brilliance that will bring them into the future...
These cheers are... !
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
Which is it? Who won?
That's... !
Kijima Wilfred's Gunpla has been... !
Did Lucas Nemesis...
... defeat him!?
Congratulations...
Looks like you're the victor...
Battle ended.

To be yourself.
To keep liking Gunpla.
