I wouldn't be surprised to see some kit Grade variety this season, considering they changed the GP base to display the type. I kinda want a to see a kit turn out to be RG instead of HG, just to see what happens.

There was a MG Musha Gundam in the melee at the start, remember.

You might? It's mostly a fairly by-the-book kid's action series with some good fights and fun characters. If you're okay with watch that you'll probably enjoy it but it doesn't really transcend the genre if that makes sense?

It's fine on it's own, but is also a big old nostalgia trip and celebration of the franchise, how's that?

Also, trying to discern what the hell it was that chumped Yuuma's Airmaster in the cold opening:





I can see the wings from the Deathscythe Hell Endless Waltz version and two of the extendable arms are from the Nataku... and I cannot for the life of me make out anything else in that horrid kitbash. :psyduck:
I'm calling it the "Kitbash Hell Custom" until we get an actual name for it.

Pretty sure it's mostly Hydra Gundam.

Also have you ever played a video game and got stuck on a cliff and we're being pulled/pushed off? It's a very hectic feeling and you can easily get too into the fight.

loving Pyro's in TF2 man.

Might also result in her possibly salvageable Gunpla being thrown out of the ring under a fair bit of inertia.

Edit: Since her suit seems to have gimmicks we've not seen yet, and her team seems to be fairly competitive, I think we'll see her again come the big tourney.

Fumina I think is a bit complicated. She's in the support "cleric" role, making the guys better, but at the same time it's down to her that the team came together, she is very much the driving force and narratively seems to be the main protagonist. And at least the show acknowledges contributions besides combat ability as worthwhile, and everyone seems hugely impressed with Winning Gundam, and they won the battle because Fumina's work was new and surprising to people that came fully prepared.

If I'm being cynical I don't see what benefit the Winning Knuckle confers given Build Burning can punch through anything short of Gynako's shield as it is.

And Gyanko is a girl, and also fun and interesting and capable, so there's that too.

Weird opening, if hilarious that Team Free and the underwater fight were built up like that. Instead, they answered the big question over them, "what if there's no water in the field?" after we assume there's an answer if they got this far.

No mention that the fight didn't end with a super-punch, but a SHINING WIZARD!!

I would have liked to have seen the Zeo Zeong that not-Sleggar totalled. From the parts it looked like it was a Neo Zeong with original Zeong head and colours, could have been cool.

Next ep looks great.

Neddy Seagoon posted:

Agreed. His two buddies driving them out of the ring was a pretty solid strategy to get them out of the way, because it's pretty obvious that both thought they were useless in a stand-up fight.


The real problem with having a three-on-three fight is that there's almost always going to be two fights that are more-or-less paused. It kills a lot of the energy when you realize two fights are just back-and-forthing mindlessly without any tension while you're watching the third. The other is that Team TRY Fighters isn't three Gundams, it's two Gundams and The Special One. It's pretty much guaranteed to win almost flawlessly, because they don't have a way to fix something that fancy. Though it'll be interesting to see if any of the damage stuck from that really excellent fight

I think it might, it seems bound to come up given we keep seeing Yuuma working on Lighting, which seemed to take a pretty bad spill on the ring-out. I think the next ep or two the team will be dealing with repairs (Winning looked ok, it's probably more solid than the rest) and observing the Girl's School against G-Master to establish not-Sleggar.

I kind of hope the Build Burning Gundam gets hosed up at some point, and no one can fix it because they arn't remotely as good as the guy who made it :v:

I have to think the adjustable damage level has to be there for that reason, whilst letting it take damage in the meantime.

I saw one suit where the front was a Sazabi and the back was The O. It looked insane. Like someone took the idea of whatever Ribbons Gundam was and decided that it didn't take the two suits in one thing far enough.

Easily my favourite design of the Build Fighters franchise, and I say that as someone who doesn't give two shits about the Gyan. I will be completely satisfied if Gyanko's new Gunpla is an updated Gyagya using the gimmicks not yet seen on the show. Possibly a recolour or an update with a booster pack.

There's definitely an air of "no one takes Sazaki seriously". Before Fellini shows up to beat up on him he says something like "Don't misunderstand me, Iori, I'm only here to study you for next year's finals!" and Sei and Reiji kind of roll their eyes and go "Next year, really? Aren't you being a little bit too patient?" I mean he's a comic relief character so everyone's kind of supposed to take the piss out of him but that's what made him a fun character.

Didn't they say he made it to the quarter-finals of the nationals? It sounds like he got better offscreen, and Gyanko's unbreakable shields were made by him.

If the Winning's gimmick is to turn into a 1/144 (and using up its spare parts), why can't Fumina just use a regular 1/144 and keep those spare parts for the others? #BFTlogic

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.

Portent is cool, it seems yo have the fold-up feet like transient, which I think is another 00 design cue. Hides the ankle polycap joint, unlike many of the kits from the show though.

Could Sei be a Mejin? It's odd that in a series about threes we get a second but not a third.

In Wilfreds defense he didnt have a good opinion of Karima already, well thats if he even remember who he was in the first place.

In fairness, he actually gave him a measure of the recognition he craves by stating that he knew his name and prefered class of Gunpla when they fought. But he is pretty much a hypocrite.

I would have like Karima to be clowned a little less badly, partly just because Shia looked like the big beam was a surprise and problem for her, then just no-sells it, not good drama.

Gundam Breaker 2, has a different way of dealing with bits and such and is generally much improved. It's pretty loving good and available on the JP PSN.

E: The game is perfectly playable without knowing japanese btw, the suits are listed by serial number as well, and the modules and EX attacks all have translation guides available. And it's still getting a new suit weekly at this point.

Saga's injury didn't really do anything either, besides provide a reason it was possible to beat him. They never resolved the background with Yuuma either, the guy who clowned him out of competition doesn't really seem like the same guy besides being the only one approaching Sakai's level of creativity. I'd still like a clear shot of that Deathscythe-Hydra-Thone Gundam Zwei thought. Maybe in the MSV equivalent.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
Is it me, or did they really regress Sakai's character for that? He got into the team spirit and showed Yuuma respect and admired Fuumina, which makes sense given his deal and the inventiveness behind the (Star) Winning. Now he's an entitled bitch again, plus they made him a creep, so he could lose to Yumma's Zeta with Destiny bits. He didn't even start with a (sort of) non-Gundam this time.

Guess it's okay that Gyanko's happy, if not with Sekai, and who gives a poo poo about him? His new Gunpla is pretty cool though, even if it doesn't represent any advancement on his part. Sasaki III making frenemies with boxer-dudes plot-cancer brother was nice.

What's Karima even supposed to have done wrong? He build a bitching MA, I guess from scratch, what is he have supposed to have done to deserve the criticism from creepy hand-holding triplets? Guy seems to get a bum deal.
