It was that Shimon guy who piloted the Destiny for that 1v1 fight with Sekai a couple episodes ago.

[Chosen_Hero]

Don't care what anyone says, in my opinon Yuuma was the badass of the episode with that awesome fight.

Sekais looked cool but it's the same as we've seen all along, he fights someone then at the last minute learns some super move that destroys everything.

[Rising Dragon]

I'm pretty sure the guy's name is supposed to be Simon. Gundam can't romanize worth shit--that's why we get names like Empruss and Spallow.

We already know humans are capable of being affected by them--we saw what they do when there's an Arista present and there's strong enough emotions. And Sekai has some pretty strong emotions going on there. Perhaps the synthesized Plavsky Particles don't need an Arista as a catalyst, or maybe just enough of them can cause an effect with or without an Arista, and the Build Burning Gundam can generate a LOT. Both from what we've seen, and from whatever happened in the 11th tournament--Sakai referenced something like that happening then as well. Either way, I suspect we'll learn more as the series continues.

Here's an absurd/unlikely theory of mine

What if the Build Burning has an Arista/Arita Knockoff (whatever it is that Nils/Caroline managed to replicate) inside it?

That would explain some things:
-The orange glow
-The sheer amount of particles it could produce
-Totally doable by someone as good as Sei

Who knows lol.......

[Rising Dragon]

Actually, I wondered the same thing myself. It can't be the original one Sei had--that one never broke, and was on Aila's person, so it's back in Arian. If there is an Arista stored inside, it'd have to be a fabricated one.

That has happened literally zero times before.....

Ah, people making stuff up.

Oh yeah thats true, makes us wonder how potent these fabricated Arista are outside of being used for gunpla battles

[Rising Dragon]

Maybe Sei turned the Build Burning Gundam into an Arista.

Oh, the humiliation.

Even worse for him considering the fact that this was a chance to show up not just Yuuma but to also to prove himself against one of Sei's gunpla. While he might have gotten an advantage over Yumuma when it came to Sei an straight build gundam actually did better.

Well part of it at any rate, maybe thats what the clear blue parts are made of instead of normal clear plastic? Or at least perhaps the material is integrated into the frame

I think it's a combination of the suit having been damaged and arguably not knowing as much as a boxer how to make the punch more effective.

But regardless of the reason, that was still quite a pitiful final performance, especially after that declaration.

At B level, at best its part are separated and paint comes off. It's not as bad as A level, which was show in Sudou's flashback.

[kk2extreme]

I think it's time to upgrade build burning to build god

[Rising Dragon]

Thinking about it, Akira's voice actor... not the first time he's been in a flying machine with arms for this franchise, is it?

[Side-streetdog]

When Build burning gundam in that mode got attack on face Sekai got scratch on face too.
And that "Gunpla and Builder become one"
Look like Sei know how to use particle on unbelievable level .

[Rising Dragon]

He seems to have a thing for particles, yeah. Sakai and Yuuma both mentioned the Build Burning Gundam in the 11th world tournament, with Sakai specifically commenting on the particle emissions. Makes me wonder what exactly happened in that tournament.

[Wild Goose]

Solid episode, entertaining, it's all good, moeagare gunpla

also Tatsuya is as chuuni as ever lol. You'd think that at 24 he'd have grown out of it

[Rising Dragon]

He's Meijin freakin' Kawaguchi. It basically gives him a free pass to chuuni whenever the hell he wants.

[Esclair]

Talk shit, get smacked.

Seems like everyone is combining nowadays. The battle was awesome though. I almost didn't want the other team to lose. Their members were all likable and Akira seemed to have some hidden backstory that relates to his previous team members. Of course, those things were what made this battle so filled with tension.

It seems like Build Burning Gundam is just built so well that even at Battle Damage B it takes virtually no damage, which is why so far it seems to not have had any maintenance done between battles yet still appear as good as it was when Sekai first found it. However, the preview of Battle Damage A pretty much ensures that Build Burning will get destroyed during the national tournament sometime.
