The winner of the first round of the semifinals is the representative from Shizuoka, Gunpla Private Academy, Team Celestial Sphere!
I'm sorry, Nemesis.
If only I hadn't been taken out...
That was a nice fight.
Thanks.
I'm glad I teamed up with you guys.
Nemesis...
If the particle resupply had been sufficient for the Full Cloth...
My unit would've been the one that lost.
I believe that I will never forget this fight for as long as I live.
I'll make sure you give me a revenge match.
That's something that I should be saying.
One day.
Indeed. Let's have another battle.
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
I'm sorry I lost, even though you entrusted me with picking the team and planning the strategy.
It's very regrettable.
If the resupply had gone better...
If Aiba and Tomita were better fighters...
Regarding that, Aiba and Tomita carried out my plan perfectly.
If you want the reason why we lost, it will have to be due to my inexperience.
That is the only reason.
Thank goodness the Portent had a built-in repair system.
Yes.
So that was the power of a world-class fighter...
Dammit! I don't feel like we've won at all!
That's because all of you are still inexperienced.
Gunpla is something that is profound; there are no limits.
That's something I managed to get out of that fight.
But... No, that's exactly why...
That's exactly why I want to master it.
That's right. You will have to continue devoting yourself to it.
That's because you are not champions; you are all challengers.
Lucas Nemesis!
I'm sorry, Sekai.
It looks like I won't be able to battle with you.
But I'm sure my hope will come true one day.
Huh?
I'll wait for you to catch up to me.
Wait for me? Where?
In the open tournament.
He's making a prediction.
That your name will be where it should be.
That you're worthy of fighting in a world-class stage.
You've been acknowledged by such an accomplished fighter.
Don't fight an ugly fight in the second round.
The semifinals...
And our opponent...
... is where Sakai Minato is...
... Tendaji Academy!
Episode 22
As Your Heart Desires
Looks like it's finally time, Yuuma.
You'd better be prepared.
Are you so sore that the Gunpla you built lost in the finals of the West Tokyo regionals?
That was just something that showed how weak I was as a Builder.
I should thank you, actually.
Then why did you take the trouble to join the Nationals and target Yuu?
That's because I just don't like it.
But why!?
The first time I met you, Yuuma, was when we were still in elementary school.
You managed to get into the World Championships while you were still in elementary school.
You were the champion of Tokyo, and people called you the second coming of Iori Sei.
There are differences between a Builder and a Fighter, but the fact that a rival around my age appeared, actually made me happy.
But so what?
The minute you went up to middle school, you quit battling and announced that you'll be focusing your skills as a Builder.
And while I wasn't around, you joined a contest and took the top prize!
And now that I decided to compete against you in the Master Cup, you decided to go back into battling once again!
You're just making fun of Gunpla!
I won't lose to such an indecisive guy like you!
Not as a Builder, and not as a Fighter either!
Banging against the wall?
I see...
Because I kept running away from things, you were...
Wait! There's a reason why Yuu stopped Gunpla Battling... !
That's all right, Hoshino.
Yuu?
Minato.
I apologise for treating Gunpla, something that you love so deeply, with such disrespect.
But I won't run away anymore.
I promise you that!
Then why don't you show me in the coming battle?
Show me what Kousaka Yuuma is really about.
Yuuma...
Let's win this, Sekai.
You too, Hoshino.
Let's do it, all three of us!
Yeah!
I'm sorry I'm late!
What did you talk about with Kousaka Yuuma?
I thought I should settle our personal feelings towards each other.
I feel so refreshed now!
Now I'll be able to fight in the semifinals as a member of Build Busters without anything holding me back.
Let's keep Gunpla Battling together until we win this!
All right, shall we get going?
Sakai...
We're third year students already. Once we go up to high school, we'll all likely be in different schools anyway.
This is our last tournament.
I like this team.
Because of that, I'd like to continue fighting Gunpla Battles with everyone here as long as possible.
Sakai...
I never thought you'd take my words so seriously...
I guess he's got the Osaka spirit inside him.
He's acting all cool.
The main feature of Tendaiji Academy's Gunpla is that it uses high power attacks by merging the energy from all three units into one.
We can use the Winning Road to prevent them from merging.
And if we fail to do that, we can take advantage of them while they're merging and open to attacks.
So that's when we can hit them!
I await to see the outcome of Team Try Fighters.
And now, we will begin the second round of the semifinals of the Gunpla Battle Japanese Under-19 Championship.
Looks like we managed to make it in time!
Osaka representative, Tendaiji Academy, Team Build Busters, versus...
West Tokyo representative, Seihou Academy, middle school section, Team Try Fighters!
Gunpla Battle, combat mode, start up.
Model damage level, set to A.
Please set your GP Base.
Beginning Plavsky particle dispersal.
Field 5 - City.
Please set your Gunpla.
Battle start.
Hoshino Fumina, Star Winning Gundam!
Kousaka Yuuma, Lightning Gundam Full Burnern!
Kamiki Sekai, Try Burning Gundam!
Isaka Hideo, Sora Tryon!
Satou Haruto, Umi Tryon!
Sakai Minato, Riku Tryon!
Team Try Fighters, let's go!
Team Build Busters, let's move out!
Yuu, let's try to split up the enemy!
Roger!
They have that much firepower individually!?
Hoshino.
We've lost the enemy!
Where are they? Where did they disappear to!?
That's such a cliche line for cannon fodder. We're here!
Sora Tryon!
Umi Tryon!
Riku Tryon!
Let's Try... !
... On!
Now's our chance!
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Rending Wave Punch!
A barrier!?
Tryon 3!
Trying to mess up our merging scene?
You seriously lack a sense of romance and beauty.
Now I'm going to show you...
This is the absolutely explosive, ultimately invincible...
The power of the Tryon 3!
Come on, let's go!
Armed Booster!
I'll take that on!
Jigen Haoh Style... !
Holy Fist Thrust!
What power... !
Don't think of this like the Megashiki!
Let's take the chance to attack the main body!
I won't let you!
Boomerang Stagger!
Sekai!
Oh no!
His back was targeted!
The ability to turn one's hips is crucial to a kenpo user.
The Tryon 3...
I thought it was a unit that focused on firepower but...
It looks like I might be wrong.
I won't use my final attacks during the quarter finals!
M-My back... !
First...
The High Mega Cannon!?
Oh no!
... I'll start by finishing you off!
Winning Beam!
How about this!?
That's nothing... !
Double Cannonade!
Full power... !
Liger Glare!
How dare you... !?
Raptor Breaker!
Now!
Now's your chance, Sakai!
Howl, Liger!
I-I can't move my unit!
The wavelength of the shockwave is synchronised to the natural frequency of the plastic!
Let's go with the sure-kill move!
Okay!
Hyper Minovsky!
Super Howling Sword!
Try-Slash 1!
... 2!
... 3!
How about that?
This is the power of the Shingyo Style...
No, the power of Build Busters!
Wh... !?
What the hell!?
Hoshino... Sekai... !
Why!?
Yuuma...
This is...
... as far as I can go...
After the full power of the Winning Beam, my particle reserves are all depleted...
But the generators can still work!
I'll leave them to you, Yuu!
Go and settle it with Sakai Minato once and for all!
Go, Yuuma!
Go, Yuu!
Why you... !
Plavsky Power Gate!
High Burst!
I'll destroy everything!
Yuuma!
The Super Howling Sword is... !
Yuuma... !
Now you've really done it... !
Sakai! Why are you retreating!?
There's not much left in the particle reserves.
And right now, it's three against one.
If we just hold back and avoid any attacks until the time limit expires...
I won't run...
I won't run away any more!
Shut up, Yuuma!
Fight!
You've come so far to settle your score with Yuuma, haven't you!?
Then you have to fight!
Kodera...
That's right! You have to fight!
It's all because you joined the team that we managed to appear in the Nationals, and even the semifinals!
You've given us more than enough memories.
Now it's your turn to make your own dreams come true!
Isaka...
That's true, but...
Stop acting cool and holding it in! We're telling you to fight!
Satou...
Can't you let us act like the cool ones once in a while?
I'm happy that you're looking at this as a team effort.
But you have to be more free, Sakai!
This is just like building Gunpla.
Just feel free to build what you like.
Isn't that the innermost essence of the Gunpla Shingyo Style!?
Of course...
I'm... Sakai Minato of the Shingyo Style...
There's no way that I would run from a battle!
I won't run away!
Yuuma!
I won't let you fire!
I won't let you get away!
This is the end!
I-If you're so strong...
... why did you...
... stop battling?
You idiot...
Battle ended.
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
I'm sorry!
And thank you!
We should thank you! You really showed us something.
Yeah!
This is something we can all be proud of when we go back home.
Sakai Minato!
We haven't finished settling our score yet!
What!?
The Master Cup!
A Builder's contest?
You mean you're entering the competition!?
The Master Cup is in 2 weeks.
You still have the finals! What are you talking about!?
I am a greedy man.
As a Fighter in a Gunpla Battle...
And as a Gunpla Builder...
I will defeat you, my rival!
Oh, now you've really said it, Yuuma!
Then I'll crush you in the Master Cup!
You'd better be prepared to lose!
And don't forget to bring your loser name tag either!
