Judging from the OP, I think Fumina's "support" role will change from cannibalizing her suit to power up her teammates to equipping a bunch of autonomous weapons that can be in a lot of places at once. Oddly enough, Winning HG (or whatever) looks like it's built for close combat, which isn't something she's done a lot of in the show.

Speaking of the OP, kinda surprised that team Zaku got placement despite losing every fight they've been in. I do wonder how people like Lucas and Sugita's character are gonna slot in, given that the show's all about team battles.

The same way they always do: By lugging in a couple of warm bodies to fill the 3v3 count.

That was a good episode. It wasn't particularly exciting, but it didn't have to be, either. It's nice to let the characters bounce off each other. It felt more like a Build Fighters season 1 episode.

Also, things I never expected to see in a Gundam series: morning sickness.

The glowy parts were the ones already there I think, not the new ones. The new ones are for the Burning system that Yuuma made.

Nope. Yuuma mentions it was the first time he'd taken the Build Burning apart in that scene, so he couldn't have added all the extra transparent bits. He even says they were hidden under the armor.

It's Sei, he is totally the kind of guy who would give his gundams secret functions you actually have to remodel the kit to use.

Total disappointment it doesn't have a phrase being screamed at the top of the singer's lungs though. Where is the successor to HITORI JA NAI/ANO SORE HE/GENKAI NANTE NAI?

EDIT: Also I hope that Sei built two Build Burnings, a good one and an evil one, and hid them both away. That would be such an amazingly dorky thing to do.

I mean that the parts are the ones already there. We see him taking the leg apart and the transparent parts match the ones BB already has before the upgrade. He points out that they were molded beneath the armor, not part of the armor, so they were part of the frame.

Hey, We agree on something for once, the new intro is the Trans Am Burst of boring music. :smith::respek::smith:

The intro itself is actually pretty decent, its just the music that is bad. They really should have gone with something like the music from the latest Gundam Breakers.

During the upgrade monologue with Sekai's expression you can just imagine he has no idea what he's doing and is really secretly drawing dickbutts on the gunpla parts.

Am I just misunderstanding you or something because when he takes apart the kit you can see the transparent bits of the Try Burning alongside the bits the Build Burning exposed. Yuuma didn't actually add anything, it was already there.

I'm not entirely sure it's the Gelgoog Cannon since it seems to have beam sabers on the backpack, but that's the only Gelgoog variant that mounts it naginata on its back skirt as far as I know. And you can see a cannon in the earlier shot of all three wrecked suits.

I actually thought that was a pretty neat moment. It was a nice contrast to Sekai and Wilfred's friendly rivalry banter, mostly because of Saga's reaction to it. Instead of being disrespectful or just straight-up ignoring him entirely, he actually stops, takes a moment to seriously consider it, then acknowledges Yuuma's challenge. Given his attitude before the Meijin put him in his place, it's a marked improvement.

Well, she's right. :colbert:

The SWGs riffle has an oversized blade running through the entirety of it with a swivel to make it pop out. I'm assuming that detaches and hooks up with her hand so she has a melee weapon. The melee bits are actually parts of the armor itself and not the backpack, so she can keep using them in real mode. Both Shia's and real mode SWG look like stabby melee speed demons.

I still dont get Lightnings new backpack, its supposed to make him faster and more agile while being bigger and probably heavier? Maybe in 0 gravity fights.

Yuuma has probably never played Kerbal Space Program, so he doesn't know proper thrust to weight ratios.

Neither do the mecha designers, either, I suspect.

You're misunderstanding. Yuuma was going "he has particle emitters hidden all over his suit" (taking apart the foot to show it off). There are hidden particle emitters that don't show up on the outside. However they don't represent all of the Build Burning Try's upgrades. It's just Yuuma revealing that basically every bit of the BB is designed for particle use like the RG system.

The BBT doesn't have a visible particle emitter on the foot either. It isn't Yuuma revealing the hidden particle emitters as an upgrade, it's him revealing they exist to the audience.

Honestly despite the name it looks more like a Brave Series mech with the Lion chest and rocket punch. It's Brave ZZkaiser.

Also an interesting thing I caught in the opening, in the shot of someone touching the old trophy before they showed the other teams you can clearly see it's Sei by his shadow on it. I wonder if he'll ever actually turn up in person. Maybe the finale will be Sei/Meijin/Lady vs Try Fighters?
