Or he could have just decided to give Yuuma a hand because he is his girlfriend's little brother.quote:China specifically says Sei built it for Reiji, and customized it for Reiji. Not that he built it, and then customized it for Reiji. I think he's referring to the kit inside the box, which is also named the Build Burning. It's kind of confusing, and I get the feeling we'll never know for certain until the MG comes out and clarifies the backstory because all the HG's manual says about it is "Sei built it".

When Sei appears he'll have a beer gut, bald spot, thousand yard stare, 8 o'clock shadow, and a wife beater, with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a perfectly built Freedom in the other because it's the only freedom he's got now with his nag of a girlfriend chaining him down!!! Yuuki will drive him to Reiji's grave, but can't bring himself to say something.

He gave the parts for the Build Burning anyways, so Yuuma will have to modify them into the Try Burning all over again.

That part's not really surprising though, as the Try Burning is Yuuma's thing. It's really probably easier to give Yuuma parts to modify himself than try to replicate it without knowing what Yuuma did.

They're not going up against just kids roughly their age, they're going up against anything up to high-school graduates. Hell, just take a look at the teams like White Wolf or two of the Gunpla Academy team members.

Reiji just had his friend build his kit for him, so. And once again, Sei gave the parts for the Build Burning, not the Try. Yuuma's going to have to put in work anyways.

Absolutely no one in either season gives a poo poo if the Gunpla you're piloting is something built by you or not (except for the 'personal pride' issue and that was only raised by a single guy), so I don't see the issue.

quote:They definitely aren't 19, as it's an under-19 tournament. Well I guess that sucks for anyone who was born too early in the year then. Also, it was apparently fine for Sudou to commission Minato to build the Mega-Shiki because Minato is heads and shoulders above everyone else who could build a Gunpla for him - but only if Minato is young enough. Do you realize how idiotic that sounds?

She was trained in Gunpla by world class Gunpla builders at a school built around Gunpla. She had every possible advantage. Well, not every possible advantage. A former World champion didn't give her a wold championship winning Gunpla and then a bunch of spare parts so she never had to learn anything about Gunpla building herself. That'd be absurd.

I'm not even sure why everyone's even arguing here because I'm pretty sure one of the reasons people don't like Sekai that much is because he didn't build his own kit and hasn't been given much reason to learn how to do it either. boom boom boom's argument has changed from "Why did Sei make the parts, that's so creepy" to "why did he give the parts to Yuuma, does he think that little of him" to "why is Sekai just getting outside help like that, it's unfair". And that last one isn't really wrong either, it's just a part of Sekai's aura of suck.

Even when they got together to do the upgrades, his involvement was "I'm gonna go punch things while Yuuma does it for me". The only other things he's done in eighteen episodes is wince at his sister's ball-breaking strike, and sing Anime Ja Nai.
