Man.

Star Winning Gundam owns and Fumina is easily the most interesting to watch fight, but Yuuma did pretty good this episode too.


In comparison what a wet fart Sekai is.

Gasp. It turns out his rival's motivation is the age-old "M-master didn't teach me the ultimate secret move. I'm out" motivation. Sekai makes a bunch of generic statements about how he'll show him. How exciting. Honestly this episode just underlines how goddamn boring Sekai's everything is.

It also sort of sends a weird message. I was really expecting Build Burning to get stolen but... no. Everyone just shows up and stops Junya. And then it turns out Junya had his own Gundam that he tuned up himself which is also capable of replicating the Try Burning mode. It's very 'meh.'

Sweet, we're gonna watch two expert martial artists duke it out in a brawl to the dea- oh they're just breaking out the stock Jigen Haoh moves at eachother. The same ones at the same time, no-less, when you could've at least shown something decent with them countering one super-move with another. :effort:.

Also that scene of Sekai talking with his sister was perfectly fine character-building. For Mirai. Seriously, she's shown far more personality and had more character-building than the show's main character.

I got the impression that that was just the initial sparring as they sounded each other out. We started seeing some cooler stuff with the robot MMA, and it seems that next episode is where they properly go all-out. Should be some better robot punching then.

Actually you know what'd make next episode work?


If Sekai just straight-up can't beat Junya at all and then Junya gets his face pushed in when he realizes he's 3v1 against a Top 8 team. And it becomes a lesson about how friendship is power instead of Sekai going "This Build Burning Gundam... and my feelings... JIGEN HAOH! SEKAI-HA TENKYOKEN" and punching his feelings into Junya so Junya goes "So this is the true essence of Jigen Haoh! No wonder master chose him!" Meanwhile Fumina and Yuuma stand to the sidelines and nod, or possibly get briefly owned to show off Junya's burning mode.

They fight eachother to a Fellini-vs-SBS-level standstill, and then Yuuma walks the Lightning Gundam over to shoot the Denial Gundam in the face.


My money's on them just going for the old Bruce Lee quote as the Big Truth though;

Hey guys we set up a really okay story beat and an obvious way to make the heel a threat should we go ahead and do that? Nah let's just have the good guys not have to deal with any inconvenience and just roll with the bad guy just having a super good robot.

OK episode aside from the WWE writing. Good to see Sleggar again, as it always is.

The European kid is going to end up jobbing to the Celestial Sphere so they have someone dramatic to fight beforehand, unless they throw us a curve and have Tryon-3 do it. (Which would be kind of depressing although I assume Yuuma and Sakai would have an exhibition battle to make up for it.)

So they can imply a Domon-like character without using actual Domon.

Okay, yeah, that was great, and really illustrated just how much she's changed. In the first half of the series, it would have been a sure thing that she'd be either punked, or Yuuma would have to rescue her. Now, I was half-expecting Fumina to rescue him. :allears:

The Star Winning's one of my favourite new designs from Build Fighters Try :allears:. Yuuma's fight? He ditches the backpack and shoots his rifle :effort:. Fumina? She loving kicks with the Real Mode Legs, then ejects the feet to melt the motherfucker with the Bit's cannons :black101:.

Technically the last one is a custom, but man that dude didn't even try. The Justice in Freedom colors was pretty cute though.

Yuuma's fight was pretty incomprehensible. The Abulhool pulls a Cobra to get behind the Lightning, so Yuuma... fires all thrusters at once? I assumed he was trying to brake or do some crazy turn but instead he just shoots the Lightning forward? And then he ends up really high in the air??? And then he just lands safely????????

The Stock Footage Fight was pretty funny, and I actually kind of cheered when the Denial (where the hell did that even come from) actually started throwing out punches. The ridiculous super mode was hilarious too.

He wasn't yelling with his fist. That's how you get Domontheir master to listen.

Also "Denial Gundam?" More like SephirothGokuDarkness The ColdsteelStampedeXx666xX Gundam. Could that thing be any more Deviantart?

I believe that he was actually using forward thrusters to apply brakes to the backpack which would let him separate but maintain his current momentum on his suit, which he then used to get into his opponent's blind spot while he was busy shooting the backpack

Has Sekai done a single normal punch/kick the entire series without having to yell out an attack name? If not, that is the most useless martial art ever.
