Man, you know what I feel bad for? The Build Mk.II. That's a mecha that never got to do anything.

The Build Mk.II is my favorite design on the show and it got to be in one episode. It can fire two rifles while simultaneously flipping you off with both hands! How the gently caress is that not the star?

Blink and you miss it, but Reiji used the Build MkII to spar with China when she was training for her battles.

It was also used during some random parts of the prelims because the Star Build Strike was either trashed or being tuned up, I can't remember which.

Neither. It was used while Reiji was wounded and Sei had to take over, since Sei doesn't have the skill needed to use Star Build Strike.

No, Sei was also fixing up the SBS on the side after it got torn up in the baseball match.

If you guys don't remember the progression, it was:

1: Build Strike introduced.
3: Full Package created, work on the mkII begins.
4: Build Strike FP damaged.
5: Build Strike FP repaired.
6: Build Strike FP destroyed, Sei reveals Build mkII
7: mkII damaged, Build Strike repaired.
8: mkII presumably repaired.
9: mkII used to help train Beargguy III, Star Build Strike created.
11: Absorb Shield is damaged.
13: SBS's baseball careers ends. Absorb Shield destroyed.
14: mkII used while SBS is repaired and Reiji recovers. SBS is slightly damaged again.
15: SBS completely totaled, Absorb Shield destroyed.
16: SBS repaired.
17: SBS slightly damaged. Oh, and Absorb Shield destroyed again.

I know Sei said he had "a" spare but I get a feeling he's just been making spare absorb shields whenever he has some spare time from repairing the SBS or competing in the tournament.

It follows the same logic as reloading in Trigun. If the camera's not on Sei, assume he's making more absorb shields for the SBS.

I really hope they get to use the Absorb Shield again someday. Nils appears to have no beam weapons at all, and the Kampfer Amazing is full to the brim with solid weapons. So I guess maybe against Aila?

I honestly kinda think the latest episode was Kampfer Amazing's last hurrah. Yuuki was pretty upset about how wrecked it was, so I could see the tech dude just replacing it to try to get Yuuki's head back in the game. Plus, the rival always gets more suit upgrades than the hero.

It's possible but the Kampfer shows up in the OP fighting SBS and there's no other new mecha in the opening not accounted for besides Exia Dark Matter and Miss Sazabi and neither seem Yuuki's type.

It doesn't work on beam sabers and there's a pretty good chance that Nils slashes basically function as long-range beam sabers considering how we've seen them function.

It's not explained but if it is like any other Gundam series, beam sabers just are concentrated enough to push through anti-beam defenses. Even things like Beam Boomerangs work. Sei doesn't have to follow canon but there's probably still rules he can't get around and we've seen the Absorb Shield follows at least that. (He also said the Satellite Cannon was too big for it to absorb IIRC.)

Well I mean the Satellite Cannon thing I get. It's too much beam to absorb. They've shown the SBS has a limited storage capacity (at least they have a maximum) and Mao's beam probably would have just been too much to absorb

It (and the SBS) seems to have already served its purpose in getting Sei and Reiji to the final rounds. Now everyone knows how it works, so it's pretty much useless. That's the drawback of gimmicks.

Zaku Amazing would be trash next to the Star Build Strike though. I mean, Yuuki's a good builder, but he wasn't quite on Sei's level even back at the start of the show and Sei has improved a lot in the meantime. It would also make Allan useless if Yuuki were to build his own suit, rather than have Allan build him a new one. And while there's nothing the OP or ED to hint at a new suit, the new suits we've had from it so far have all been involved in filler episodes and not been nearly as evil as people assumed, so I can see them hiding the existence of one final upgrade for each from the OP personally. Maybe a Zaku III Amazing, a Sinanju Amazing or something?
