One of the best battles so far, probably because we finally get to take a break from Star Build Strike and the main duo. I like the tactical aspect of this battle a lot, because all we've seen thus far are very blood-boiling straight-forward duels. Its a very welcoming change, to say the least.
I also don't think of Kawaguchi's victory to be a plot-induced ass-pull, mainly because they actually did properly set it up as opposed to making it just "oh, I fell next to my weapons". Slightly unbelievable? Maybe. But I've stretched my disbelieve far more from watching various other Gundam series than here. |

I really enjoy Meijin's counter attack. I had totally forgotten about that shot-off weapon container and once Kampfer went to the fountain area and pulled off that gattling gun, I was like "Holy shit! That was brilliant". Watching earlier scenes, you can actually see that Meijin actively dodging GM Sniper and heading to the fountain area. Nice one by Meijin. That "This is not a war, it's a GUNPLA BATTLE" cracked me up
That being said, I'm kinda disappointed with Kampfer Amazing. It is the pinnacle of all PPSE technology but it really lacks some awesome gimmicks or plavsky manipulation, it's just one high performing gunpla with rather normal weapons. It does have hammerspace weapon containers though. No way those missile launcher and gattling can be stored in its containers

Uh, did Sei just make a move on China? From his end?? The Gunpla-crazed fanboy isn't a blockhead for romance??!! So, like...................what's the blockage between them, then?????
More couples = ftw. Did the Renato brothers just spoof the Frost brothers? Dude, Ramba, she's married. Lol, so they're fighting in New "Yark," eh? (from the busted dome Meijin hid in) Sending in 1/144 soldier figures to plant bombs? This game is AWESOME!! So you can use Trans-Am and such systems after all; I thought it was weird the Build Strike could have something like the Absorb shield but Trans-Am wasn't allowed. So why didn't the GN Drive fighters in the tournament use it?

Um, so then what was the deal with Sei about to ask China out after the tournament, then? Quote:
I'm talking about why they aren't officially a couple if they like each other.

Because the show kinda tries to hammer in the point that said abilities are primarily "installed" via the build quality and skill of the builder, i.e. you can't just make a Gunpla out of the box and get a Discharge System out of it, you'll need to put in work on your Gunpla for it to be able to do so.

BTW, how did Kampfer Amazing lost its last weapon container? Did K9 unit snipe it or?

That's what I'm saying. Why didn't they build it into their models:It goes without saying the results of having a Trans-Am system in your mech would pay for the extra work.

And that's exactly what's stopping them: The Extra Work. It takes time, effort and resources to create a Gunpla capable of reenacting systems from Gundam, and even greater still to create something in the level of the Star Build Strike. And not everyone into Gunpla is as skilled nor as capable of putting such stuff into their work, and not everyone of them has the resources to do so.

Sports players train excessively and put tons of work into being ready; Gundam Build Fighters makes it pretty clear that this tournament is easily on par with major league sports. It doesn't make sense that the people trying for the world championship aren't interested enough to put in serious work.

Good episode but my hype for it tones down from each amazing episode. I felt this episode is good but also lacking against the previews episode. Maybe because the previews episode show badass battle that heavily destroy each other while this episode show tactics. While I love the use of tactics in the battle but the way Meijin wins is kinda lame or can be considered lucky in a way even though he lured them to the containers. It just felt that the renato bro's already won that fight if they didn't act arrogant and stupid at the near end.
Still good episode and good couple shipping. This is probably the first gundam I watched that has good couple developments.

I hate it when one loses due to arrogance and being too relaxed. :/
When Kampfer fell, they should have run towards to finish it off or make the K9 Pack shoot it again... =w=; but... PLOT ARMOR =3= I just realized the GM Sniper K9 actually has a shield as an optional equipment but in the anime it doesn't use it :x |

Also, why the heck did Liutenant said they're not playing gunpla's, even though they're clearly using a gunpla? |
