I think the bigger thing to take from it is that more organic field changes than someone pushing a button to cause a sudden shift can now be a thing, since if it was suggested earlier in the episode that the forest stage was actually inside a colony, I sure missed it.

It also just establishes that Sekai is a nice and respectable guy. It also thankfully looks like Gyanko is not going to have a weird thing about her brother.

Nah, they've actually done this before and all the fields are actual Gundam locations. There was a fight in the first season where they blew a hole in a colony. (It was the first fight against Yuuki, I think but I may be misremembering.)

What surprises me is how destructive Sekai's moves get, to the point of creating a goddamn hurricane centered on him.

His moves were not made for Gunpla, they were made for humans. Just how drat strong is the Jigen Haoh style? If it can cause even a bit of the destruction it does when it's used by a human...then Sekai's even more G Gundam than I gave him credit for, and I thought he was really G Gundam. Which is a good thing, G Gundam is great.

My theory is that Jigen Haoh style is a gunpla style and Sekai is just dumb and doesnt know that/Master forgot to mention it.

I also hope that Mirai also trained in Jigen Haoh style and whoops his rear end at one point.

Yeah, probably. At least Sekai's partners have names and personalities, I'm not optimistic about Gyanko's team being successful at all.

Yeah, I'll honestly be surprised if Gyanko's team gets anything but a "owned to show how badass a new enemy is" showing. Gyanko herself will probably get more but Nobel and Rising are kinda doomed to job if they show up again.

Just like her brother.

Gyanko could make a showing when someone in the team gets sick or something (hopefully not Fumina) and they need a replacement. Or we could see a last minute team of fan-favorite-but-kinda-weak characters make it to the world tournament.

The team structure makes it much more likely that she'll get to do something cool during the big event.

Apparently the scale of this season is much smaller than season 1 so there wont even be a worlds tournament. Instead it will focus in the regional and national tournament. Which is why Burning is such a big deal, because this is a gunpla thats been to the worlds championship before.

Makes me slightly more hopeful that some of the cast will be sticking around instead of being abandoned for new worlds fighters that get chumped off screen.

Knowing that disappoints me a little because I like how world tournaments have more international casts of characters, but I can see why they would do it. It honestly seems like a better idea even if it means a reduced chance of seeing cameos of Nils and Fellini.

Hey if thats the case and this season does well enough, we might get a season dedicated to the world championship! I think it would ultimately better this way so they can actually flesh out a worlds cast like G Gundam did.

If Ramba Ral's VA is in the hospital, they should just swap him for Hamon as his wife. No-one would bat an eye at her being just as into the hobby as him in Build Fighters.

Her R-GyaGya didn't have the guns / extra sword the model kit comes with, so I would assume she comes back with an upgrade.

Yuuma being an insufferable little shithead to Sekai all the time is incredibly great if only because Yuuma is absolutely, unfailingly polite to every single other character. Even when Gyanko was taking potshots at him about how being good at building Gunpla doesn't mean you're good at fighting, his response was "I'll make sure to remember that!" as though he was taking the advice at face value.

Meanwhile when Sekai fucks up at the shooting range Yuuma's first response is "Wow you're terrible".

I wonder how they'll deal with this sort of big guy confrontation. Are they going to have 3v1 with him using a mobile armor or will we have the main antagonists team up and have a proper 3v3?
