If Star Build Strike isn't the final upgrade (and not even halfway through the series it probably isn't) then we've probably got a Build Star Mk.II and then probably a Build Freedom or something to look forward to. I doubt he's going to switch canons for a full upgrade. If it isn't something like that it's probably going to be completely original.

All I want is one Gundam Hammer on a unit.

I'm a Zaku Amazing, Wing Fenice, and Sengaku Astray (Which I JUST ordered) deep into this poo poo. Waiting for those sweet reprints to start coming out so I can start kit bashing. Need some bits from the Shining, Burning, and Age Titus and then use a Gouf as a base. All Melee all charge Gouf. I call it the Gouf Overwhelming.

Not seeing the G-Falcon was sad, but on the other hand, Sengoku Astray on Fuunsaiki. That was beautiful beyond words. I don't like Nils at all but I love his mecha and this episode only reaffirmed that.

I like that my country didn't lose the race, though I'm kind of scared of the fact that Sei and Reiji can only ever lose by blatant cheating or Yuuki antics. They basically ruled the race and would've won with no effort whatsoever had that weird underwater Zeong not appeared, and that's bad writing by all means. Hopefully following matches will kick them down a bit, I want to see Reiji lose because he was outpowered like both Yuuki matches.

This issue with what you're saying is they really haven't faced anyone on their level until fairly recently. Even Pre-Injury the Thai champ had them figured out in 12 seconds and sent them crashing into earth while dodging shots from both Mao and Seiji. They couldn't even take down the transformed Green Epyon until it was distracted. In a real one-on-one match they're going to probably barely win if they're fighting any of the characters set up as Rivals.

This episode was 100% great. From Meijin teaching Nils about being a REAL fighter to Fellini's emotional flashback speech.

The most worrying part however is that preview. Dad seems to have brought home 2 of the '8 Devils of Gunpla' (the silhouetted assumedly Villainous Gundams behind the main antagonist in the OP). Not sure if I trust dear old dad.

Speaking OF those units in the OP. For those not well versed in Gundam here's an image showing off what the base units for those are. The Sazabi (The Completely Red one on row 2) is something Called Miss Sazabi and it was teased alongside the Exia Dark Matter that's directly behind the Chairman.

The non silhouetted pictures are just stock images of the mobile suit they are based off, not the final image. This is a silhouette of what the Miss Sazabi is supposed to look like, which is a merger of the extremely feminine Nobel Gundam with the fat rear end Sazabi.

Which HOPEFULLY means we'll get to see a combination of the Berserk System AND a Psycho Frame.

Personally I want to see what Gimmick/Kit bashes that Master Gundam has. It's gotta be crazy.

[edit]I just noticed Miss Sazabi doesn't have the backpack binders and thus (seemingly?) lacks funnels.

Funnels are for nerds. Miss Baker seems more the Direct Type, so the funnels just aren't her style. Assuming this is for her.

If this turns out to be Caro-raaaaain's revenge I think it would just be that she doesn't know what Funnels are.

It's not explained but if it is like any other Gundam series, beam sabers just are concentrated enough to push through anti-beam defenses. Even things like Beam Boomerangs work. Sei doesn't have to follow canon but there's probably still rules he can't get around and we've seen the Absorb Shield follows at least that. (He also said the Satellite Cannon was too big for it to absorb IIRC.)

Well I mean the Satellite Cannon thing I get. It's too much beam to absorb. They've shown the SBS has a limited storage capacity (at least they have a maximum) and Mao's beam probably would have just been too much to absorb

No I remember that, and that Fellini has scooped up other gunpla fighter's girlfriends before. I just thought it'd be good for him if he destructed the Fenice because in the show we've seen them build destroy build, and he'd break the cycle (until next year) and go for a/the girl sans gunpla. Sure the chick he's into now is the gunpla idol but to me that would make it sweeter since they both share a strong interest but they give it the back seat to a relationship... in a series that puts the fun of building gunpla before everything else all the time. Stop being a goon Fellini, even if the girl is a goonette.

I too wish a man would give up his passion and his major source of income to get with a girl who actually likes his passion and doesn't mind that he's into it at all.
