He is still almost definitely not a spy

While it certainly wouldn't surprise me to learn Sekai's been doing repairs (poorly) on Build Burning the whole time and has diminished its output, I wish we'd seen that happen at some point. :shrug:

Then again, Sei's not infallible and for all we know Shia's a builder of the same level.

Great episode and I hope powerpuff Fumina shows up again. Also a Plavsky projector starting up must be like a bat signal to the meijin, since he just instantly teleported into the room to preside over the battle royale.

And I hope this isn't the last we see of him or Lady.

That was the best part of the episode. All the teams starting to interact in the most generic way possible and then MEIJIN KAWAGUCHI OUT OF NOWHERE FLAMENCO TIME.

Honestly I just wish Kawaguchi was their mentor instead of Ral.

Or maybe like he is a teacher at their school and mysteriously he vanishes every time Meijin Kawaguchi shows up to mentor the Gunpla Battle Club. They couldn't be the same person though, he wears sunglasses.

Just make the entire show about Meijin Kawaguchi already. It's clearly what both the audience and the creators want. Just have him traveling the country interrupting unfun Gunpla matches to remind everyone to have fun and build more model kits while flamenco plays the entire time.

Nah she's cool and works as a bad cop to his good cop. And also the terrible fashion sense (nice shirt and tue aside) to the meijin's impeccable taste.

On a side note, I don't think anything in Try or even BF1 can top the Red Warrior's entrance. The wilted flower coming back to life put that scene over the top.

They can always reuse the QanT mold. Its basically that but with a different weapon and more edgyness.

Not really, no.




While it's clearly a 00 inspired Gundam, including a GN drive, it is closer to the Exia than the Qan[t] and even then the relationship is tenuous.. While I really, really do hope that we get a Transient Gundam MG, you aren't going to get one going off the Qan[T] frame because the two have almost nothing in common. The closest thing we've seen is the Exia Amazing/Dark Matter.

I'd be surprised if we didn't see one.

If season 2 does well, I want season 3 to be the Excel Saga series, bringing back characters from both seasons. One ep we've got Gunpla Detective with Sei's dad, then Fellini's dating advice for Gunpla nerds, followed by the Meijin tracking down people and berating them for having fun wrong.

Looks like a heavily modified Astraea to me. With a dash of AGE FX Burst thrown in. And maybe that SEED Gundam that had sensor knives.

astraea and exia are nearly identical. i think it's just basically a heavily modified exia as a callback to the exia amazing due to the character basically being Julian But Not but i'll wait for actual lineart

AGE-elements seems unlikely; aren't they still under contract with the TV station that AGE aired on, where they can't show any AGE or AGE-inspired suits or else they have to pay royalties to the TV station?

They showed Fardain in Season 1 so it depends on how blatant it is, I guess.

I just bring it up because I remember reading that contract was the main reason there was no 00 Season 2 or AGE stuff in the first season of Build Fighters, and that the 00 Season 2 elements became available for use again like the day before the last episode of BF season 1 aired, which is why they were able to include the cloak from the Exia Repair on the Amazing Exia/Kampfer Amazing kitbash in the final battles.

Could you say an episode number? Couldn't it have been Side 7 instead, since that one's also a rather short O'Neill cylinder.

I can't remember the specific episode number but it was pretty specifically Fardain, it had the 'shielded' buildings and everything.

Just fast-forwarded through season 1. Couldn't find anything that wasn't a regular O'Neill cylinder with normal buildings. Maybe it was just shorter than 30 seconds.
There was lot of dessert (stage), though.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I think the Transient's just generally based off of 00 designs. The forearms are almost identical to Exia, the legs seem to have most in common with the 00Q and almost certainly not Exia, which had squarer thighs. Chest gem and head look most like Exia's too, and it has the single GN drive. The shoulders looks like they could come from one of the UC Delta Gundam designs. Pretty much every part seems to be distinct in some way. Really hope it get a kit, as Iove the legs an head design.

Shia helping Sekai to improve the Build Burning sat badly with me, because the whole point of the BBG was it was some insane custom made by Sei. Having someone else able to easily tune it up seems like it robs its special nature a little. The whole "I wanted him to be stronger :wotwot:" thing was pretty smug as poo poo too, compared to BF with them all hanging like buddies and giving each-other tips because they share a hobby they enjoy, and ultimately pointless with a full upgrade coming next episode.


A better part of a decade has passed since BF and the sport has changed. You should just be happy you don't see nascar style brand uniforms.

As for the upgrading, she was teaching him techniques that he can use next week when Fumina and Yuuma put their crafter pants on.
