I forget, does Ramba Ral work at that school or something or are we to assume that he just wanders around it regularly?

As near as we can tell Ramba Ral is just a crazy wandering old man who appears whenever a Gunpla Battle is happening.

I like it.

Not sure if its been covered already, but based on this horrible google translate it looks like Ramba Ral's voice actor is replaced from episode 5 and onwards due to him being ill. Hope he recovers quickly.

You know what just occurred to me. Why the gently caress does Ramba Ral know the name of the Build Burning Gundam?

It's been a full seven years since Build Fighters, and Ramba Ral was a friend of the family. Sei probably showed it to him at some point.

I wonder if praying mantis guy is going to get a team together to get back at Fumina and shut down the Gunpla club. Maybe Sazaki's sis will be in cahoots with him.

Kousaka also seemed to recognize it, so perhaps Sei didn't just build it, but used it for a time.

He's Ramba Ral. He goes where he wants, when he wants, at the pace he wants. If he wants to not age a day in seven years, are you going to tell him no?

I like how the cockpits have color-coding for the condition of your model, now. Watching Mantis' Enact go from 100% to RED ALERT in a single punch emphasizes how crippling the attack was. Also, neither the Dom nor the P-GM-C took any notable damage until Fuuma started shooting.

Yeah, he flashed back to the Star Build Strike when he freaked out. My bet's on his decision to not Gunpla Battle anymore being related to Sei in some way.

Yuuma freaked out while the Dom's armor was still breaking, so I think he actually did know what was coming. I half expect it to be that Sei intended for him to inherit the Build Burning, he just never figured out where it was.

Why does a message notification play while the Build Burning is popping out?

Yuuma didn't freak out. He just got more serious when Sekai continued to charge him. He was surprised as everyone else when the Build Burning appeared.

Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.
There was some kind of weird Plavsky particle hax going on during the reveal, which stood out to me. Look at the damaged parts of the Dom and how they start glowing from within; that's definitely not normal. And when Yuuma finally did finish off the outer shell, he blew a hole clean through the Dom's torso; yet there wasn't a scratch on the Build Burning Gundam itself. Finally, even if Sei is a master modeler, it strikes me as odd that nobody noticed anything unusual about the Dom when the were handling it. Sei noticed something odd about China's Beargguy III (the cotton, though he didn't seem to know what it was at the time, just that something felt off about how the model moved) the first time he handled it, but somehow neither Sekai nor Fumina noticed that there was another model inside the first model?

I'm really curious to hear the eventual explanation for what exactly the hell was up with that.

Did Fumina ever get her hands on it? I can't remember. It was the first time Fumina ever saw gunpla before, so he may not have known how much they weigh or how they are supposed to handle.

She didn't even know they had a Dom since it was inside the trophy.

Yeah, I'd be willing to give the both of them a pass on that aspect, mainly because Sekai's never really handled Gunpla before, and the one time I can think of that Fumina actually was in physical contact with it was when she accidentally tackled Sekai to try and catch it before it fell off the field. Given that she was distracted by that, it'd make sense that she might not notice anything odd about the model itself.

The weird glowing from the battle damage and lack of any damage on the Build Burning despite the Dom having a hole blown clear through its torso still strike me as odd, though. I'm just going to assume that this is this season's "Reiji suddenly started glowing and vanished" moment and that it'll be explained in due time.

I'm thinking of the time when the dom fell out of bounds, but on reflection, I don't think she ever got her hands on it.

Should do fine against cats.
The only thing I noticed about the Dom that looked off was the blue and yellow bit on the torso.

And the fact that it started running when it entered the field. But that was fixed in the next couple of seconds.

Really the weirdest part of the Build Burning is how its animation model has RD-like proportions. It looks nothing like its profile picture, or its HG.

I liked the Tallgeese Valkyrie, it added the one thing that Tallgeese clearly needed. More verniers.

As for the weird glow, I honestly thought Sei built the Dom with the RG system in it, but then the Build Burning exploded out. Maybe the Build Burning has the RG system in it? It'd certainly work out well with Sekai's fighting style.

It is possible that the system was set up only to register damage to the Dom despite the fact that the Build Burning is inside of it, the same way that the system didn't register any of the Build Burning's equipment or gear when he was initially using it.
