The winner of the first round of the semifinals is the representative from Shizuoka, Gunpla Private Academy, Team Celestial Sphere!
Earlier, in the Gunpla Battle Japanese Under-19 Championships...
... the semifinals have ended.
The ones who've managed to overcome that hurdle are...
The representative from Shizuoka who has won six years running, Team Celestial Sphere from Gunpla Private Academy, and...
Despite their first appearance, they have made remarkable progress,
the representative from West Tokyo, Seihou Academy, middle school section, Team Try Fighters!
These two teams will fight it out in the finals that will take place in two days' time.
Do you need help, Wilfred?
It's okay. I can do it myself.
But...
Let him do as he likes.
In this situation, if we can't do it ourselves, then the open tournament is still a dream in a dream.
You read my mind.
Shia.
Help me with the tuning of my The End.
I want the response speed of my Fangs to go up by at least 2%.
Okay. I understand.
This year's tournament is excellent.
It's really the best!
Fixing all these before the finals is going to be quite a lot of work.
I'm sorry. If I had been better...
I'll definitely get them fixed!
Sekai, I'm counting on you to help me out.
Okay! I'll do whatever I can!
I'll help out too!
I'm counting on you!
Let's put our abilities together and fix our Gunplas!
Okay!
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

Episode 23
Build Fighter
Everyone, put down what you're doing and let's start the briefing.
If we want to start on the briefing, perhaps we should watch Gunpla Academy's fights from the Tournament's TV program first.
There's no need to do that.
I have a memory chip right here that details the important points during the tournament and detailed data.
Where did you get that?
Shiki from Touritsu Academy, the representative from Niigata, sent it to me via email.
Touritsu Academy...
You mean those dragon users?
It came with a message as well.
"If we don't make you put up a good fight, it would make us, who lost to you, look bad," so they say.
What a way to put it.
But we should really thank them for this.
Yeah.
Mr Ral, please let us watch the video.
Okay.
First, is Kijima Wilfred and his Transient Gundam.
He pierced right through a floating island... !?
His power is different from the training camp...
That's because he never really went all out until he fought against you, Sekai.
He also has a hidden technique apart from that.
A Burst System!?
This is just like the Try Burning's... !
Yeah, it's a particle release system!
Next, is Adou Saga's Gundam The End.
You've fought against him before, so I'll skip the details.
But it looks like he really has a hidden system.
There's something inside its stomach!
He even has such a gimmick... !
There's no limit to his abilities...
Mr Ral, what about Kijima Shia's G Portent?
I'll show you now.
There's a scene that worries me the most.
It's damaged!?
Mr Ral, what's going on here!?
Take a look at the screen.
Something's coming out.
Those small things are fixing the Gunpla!
Are those Karel maintenance bots!?
That's strange!
There shouldn't be any abilities to repair the Gunpla within the battle system!
They're not making use of the battle system to repair. They're actually repairing the physical thing!
What!?
The Karels probably contain instant glue and quick drying putty in order to make the repairs.
But a Karel in 1/144 scale is...
It would be this small, and yet... !
If it's about making it, then even I can do that.
What's scary is...
... even in the middle of a battle...
... she can control five of those tiny repair bots at the same time...
... and repair the damaged parts.
Kijima Shia's ability as a Builder is truly frightening!
So even if their Gunpla gets damaged, they can repair them.
It would be good if we are able to not give them time to repair themselves.
But if the battlefield for the finals is complicated with a lot of places to hide...
This repair ability will give them a very big advantage.
If the fight drags on, it's also not good for us.
The all-rounder, Kijima.
The one with excessive offensive capabilities, Adou.
And Kijima Shia, with the ability to repair.
That's a team that's hard to break.
So this is the true ability...
... of Gunpla Academy and their six consecutive championship wins!
Thank you.
A lot of people just see your brilliant fights on the battlefield.
They probably don't expect that you'll be continuing to work hard like this as well.
It's not work. I'm just doing what I like a lot; building Gunpla.
The reason I chose you as team leader was not just because of your abilities.
It's also because of that straightforward attitude you have towards Gunpla as well.
You really remind me of him.
Of Master Kawaguchi the Third.
No, of Yuuki Tatsuya.
A genuine Gunpla geek?
Those pure feelings... I hope you hold on to them no matter how old you get.
Sure, Uncle.
Sorry, I mean Coach.
I don't mind.
What I said was as your uncle, after all.
Just repairing them like this won't bring us any closer to the abilities of Gunpla Academy.
But... we don't have the time to tune them properly... !
Hmm?
Yuuma, aren't you going to keep repairing it?
No, I'll do it!
Hey, what are you doing, Yuuma?
W-Where are you going, Yuuma!?
What about your Gunpla!?
I've brought you some paint and plaplates, Fumina.
Thanks, Gyanko!
Sorry for asking you to bring those out of the blue.
That's fine, but...
Hmm?
Who could that be?
I'll get the door. You keep working.
Thanks!
W-What is it!?
Yuu?
Hoshino, I'll need to borrow your Winning for a while.
Huh?
Excuse me.
W-Wa...
Wait a minute, Yuu!
What are you doing, Yuuma!?
Sekai!
Hoshino!
What's going on?
Yuuma said he had important work to do and asked me to leave him alone.
And then he suddenly threw me out.
What is Yuu trying to do?
I have no idea at all.
I can't afford to hesitate now.
If I have the time to think about that, I should move forward instead!
Hello? Is that you, Hoshino?
Yes.
I'm in my sister's room now.
It looks like Yuu will be working all night. Why don't you go buy him something?
I got it.
Sorry about this, Sis.
I'm sorry I had to give you a last minute call to stay the night here.
Will Kousaka be all right? Suddenly going into a mood like this...
Hoshino said she'll go and take a look.
I'm going out for a while.
This should be more than enough.
Hmm?
J-Jun... !
What is it? Suddenly meeting me here like this...
It's nothing.
I just have a little minor business with you.
Yuuma? Alone?
I guess I'm still worried about him. I think I'll go and take a look.
I got Sekai's key from him.
Very well.
I'm counting on you.
Reinforcements?
I'm coming in.
Huh!?
Hey, Yuuma!
Sakai Minato... !?
Why are you... ?
Oh...
Looks like you're making quite an amazing modification right before the finals.
You're going to get in my way. Please leave.
Pass me some parts.
If you do this yourself, you won't make it in time.
J-Jun!
What are you doing!?
Just a little minor business!
Are you for real!?
Of course!
There are four hands!?
Sekai.
Remember that move.
Cheering on your younger fellow disciple with a special move?
You do have some good points.
Sekai's an amateur when it comes to Gunpla.
This should be enough to cover his handicap.
Hey!
Aren't you going to get on?
Of course not.
Hop on!
No thanks.
It'll be all right!
Definitely no.
Really, it's going to be safe!
No!
What's with this anyway?
You're practically modifying the entire thing!
Why are you helping me?
Shouldn't you be more absorbed in making your new work for the Master Cup?
What are you talking about?
If I had a longer time to make my piece of work, Mr Spiteful Glasses will just start picking another fight again.
Who are you calling Mr Spiteful Glasses!?
I never said it was you.
Thanks.
I'm a good person, don't you think so?
You'd better thank me properly!
If you hadn't said that, I would've really thought of you as a really nice guy... !
I'm not interested in guys.
I'm not either!
Well, I'm not!
Me neither!
- Not me! - Me neither!
They're fixing it with incredible speed...
... while arguing with each other!
Taking a nap in a place like this?
Of course not.
Oww...
Jun was serious.
But... that move wasn't from the Jigen Haoh Style.
What is it?
Oh, nothing!
Think you can finish fixing your damaged Gunpla?
Yeah!
My brother's Gunpla was also damaged during the semifinals.
I offered my help to fix it but... he told me to let him do it himself.
I'm jealous of Kijima Wilfred.
Why?
Because I don't have the ability to fix complicated problems with my Gunpla.
I keep bothering Yuuma or Hoshino because of this.
Why not?
You're pretty excellent as a fighter.
Then how about I make a Gunpla that's perfect for you... !
That won't do.
Huh?
Three months ago, I knew nothing about Gunpla or Gunpla Battles.
After Hoshino invited me to try out the Gunplas...
I ended up being able to use my Jigen Haoh Style kenpo in battles.
That was very fun.
I ended up winning the regionals, and now I'm in the Nationals.
When I think about being able to fight with powerful people, I can barely contain my excitement.
It's the same case now.
But I don't really understand the meaning of Gunplas.
I don't really understand...
I don't understand the feelings of the people who I've fought against thus far, including Yuuma and Hoshino.
In order to be on the same level as those people...
... I have to get to know Gunpla better.
I believe it's something I have to learn for myself.
I see.
Wilfred probably feels the same...
This thing has always been floating around in my head, but now that I've said it, I feel all refreshed.
I'm going back to where the rest are and help out with repairing the Gunplas.
Let's meet during the finals tomorrow!
Okay!
See you at the finals...
Bye!
... Build Fighter.
I'm still a beginner.
There's a lot I have to learn, and a lot of things I lack.
I want to be the one.
I want to be the perfect man to make use of the Try Burning that Iori Sei entrusted me with!
And when that happens...
I'm sure I'll be able to stand proudly with my chest out and say it!
That I'm a Gundam Build Fighter!
Over here! Over here!
Sorry I'm late!
I had to go pick up my brother.
The doctor gave me permission to go outside because I worked really hard during my rehabilitation!
Wow, that's great!
Shimon.
What is it, Mamoru?
Which one is your girlfriend?
I-I-Idiot! What are you saying!?
What a precocious child!
Oh my!
There's not much I can say at this point.
Go and have fun in the coming Gunpla Battle.
Yes!
We'll definitely win!
What's wrong, Shia?
You're unusually into this.
I want to be one as well.
I want to defeat her... and become a real Build Fighter.
I can't wait to watch the finals.
Will you battle with me once more if I win, Lady?
Of course.
I'll be the one to challenge you when that happens.
I'll definitely surpass you!
How cheeky.
But...
... wonderful too.
Sorry to have kept everyone waiting!
The finals of the 13th Gunpla Battle Japanese Under-19 Championship is about to begin.
The representative from Shizuoka, Gunpla Private Academy, Team Celestial Sphere, versus...
... the representative from West Tokyo, Seihou Academy, middle school section, Team Try Fighters!
The finals are about to start, Sei!
Sekai... Yuu...
Thank you for forming a team with me!
I should be the one to thank you.
It's because you have always been worried about me, that I was able to return to the battlefield.
I have to thank you as well.
If I hadn't met you, I might have gone my entire life without doing a single Gunpla Battle.
Looks like a lot of things have happened.
I found out my own weaknesses.
I managed to meet with a lot of rivals.
And I became even more and more in love with Gunpla!
The finals will conclude our entire experience!
Let's go all out!
Let's come out smiling at the end!
Team Try Fighters!

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?
嫌い？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,
わからない道さまよい
heading towards a joy of many magnitudes.
何倍もの喜びへと
Before I started, I was too scared to go.
走り出すまでが怖くて
Now that I've started I can't even begin to slow.
走り出したらとまらない
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
心急くまま なにかを
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

（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.
忘れちゃダメなんだよ
Earnest You, Earnest Me, we can go together
本気の君が本気の僕へと
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
Adou...
Looks like you really went ahead with the battle.
You mustn't continue fighting like this.
Your right wrist...
... is already at its limit!

There's nothing left to say.
We'll fight with everything we have and aim for victory!
