Gundam Build Fighters Try - Episode 12 Discussion / Poll

[Beefsquatch]

They could always do the cliche ending where Try Fighters ends up encountering Sei, Reji, and(take your pick). Thus right before they clash the series ends.

[Rising Dragon]

Sei, Reiji, and Aila would be the proper team-up there, I think.

Or, alternatively, Yuuma and Fumina use parts of their gunpla to quick-fix the Build Burning Gundam for Sekai to use against Reiji's Gunpla, who has Sei for support, just like in season 1.

Even the Renato Bros. fight ended with a melee fight (subverted by a well-placed gatling gun drop).

I think it's inevitable for matches between players of relatively close skill levels to end up as a melee brawl. It's just the natural progression as the combatants lose ammo/energy or get disarmed, which is bound to happen if they're equally matched, for them to eventually come into simple fisticuffs.

That's why I don't get these complaints about "Oh, it ended with another punch".

Yeah, it's one more reminder that there is an angle of this show that is aimed at kids.

I think that's true when both sides have freedom of movement unless both sides can keep the other in check. And it's not really about being equally matched because, at one point or another, the side that is trying to get close is usually better than the side that is trying to keep a distance. From what I can recall of my viewing history, it's actually less commonly depicted for a close quarter combat to occur once all other options have been exhausted.

Let's have Sei show up FIRST before thinking about Reiji & Aila, okay?

[BladeEntity]

Sei will definitely show up when try fighters reach the world championships. Which I hope the season covers.

[Rising Dragon]

The only way they're going to cover the world championships is if they do the nationals in like three episodes (not happening) or if this goes on for longer than 2 cours (pretty sure it's confirmed that's not happening).

Looks like Bandai already got the sequel covered. The first series pretty much made the nationals an afterthought. In Try, even the regional tournaments are serious business.

[Duo Maxwell]

It really depend on how well the show sell gunpla. If it's really good then we can be sure Bandai won't let the series go for a very long time.

[Benigmatica]

Let Sunrise do the nationals this time for the second half of GBF Try and end this show with 25 episodes.

[Cao Ni Ma]

Fumina's end goal is still the worlds, so we are getting at least an OVA for that to give that some closure. Or whatever comes next will at least show that she got that far.

BF in general is a larger franchise than just Try. Bandai is going to continue to market it like they've done with all the side stories.

[Frontier]

All we have to hope for is that Try does well enough, in toy sales at least, to justify another sequel .

Fixed

Hehehehe

[Tactics]

Somehow, looking at how both Fumina and Yuuma fight against Meijins;
If there's a peek about their team battle after national championship (like how we saw Sei and Build Strike Cosmos in GBF).
I hope Try Fighters opponent is Lady, Tatsuya and Sei; a team consists those who dangerous in both fighting and build skill.

[Wild Goose]

I had a random thought a few minutes ago, rewatching episode 12 and observing the Fumina vs Lady battle, and ruminating further on what Yuuki was telling Yuuma, that he fights not to lose.

Look at the Winning and the GM Cardigan. Fumina's concept with her units has been to load them down will all manner of guns; she's a walking arsenal to try and cover all her bases. But like Sun Tzu said, if you try to be strong everywhere, you are strong nowhere.

Sekai is close combat, Yuuma is sniping. They know their niches, and so they are very good at that (it must be said that Yuuma too recognises the need to be able to whip out a beam saber and fight up close, and that while he's not great at that, he's also not useless at melee). But Fumina has no specialty. And so because of that, my take on what Lady was saying was that Fumina has too many weapons, too many gimmicks, and so hasn't internalised and really mastered any of them.

Or, to quote Bruce Lee: "I do not fear the man who has practiced ten thousand kicks. I fear the man who has practiced one kick ten thousand times."

Paraphrasing: I do not fear the fighter who carries ten thousand weapons. I fear the fighter who carries one weapon, ten thousand times.

The other interpretation of what Lady was saying is that Fumina spent too much time worrying about the boys and not about herself, and focused on strengthening them, and thus weakening herself in the process.

And I can get why Yuuma's upgrade is a new backpack - Lightning is already good enough as it is, it just needs a little more enhancement.

[Justice Knight]

i believe this week theres no new ep due to new year? T_T

[StratoSpear]

That's pretty much the reason we were given.

[erdii]

I don't want to be rude to the gundam viewers, but just what is the point of the this anime, rather who is the bad guy ?? so far in the series I don't know where this is going, normally I would drop a series I couldn't understand but I like the characters a lot. please someone explain in words I can understand

[Cao Ni Ma]

Its a tournament series? A girl wants to one day be in a world tournament in a game she likes so she gets a group of friends to go into the regionals and eventually the nationals. Its pretty simple, its like every other sports manga/anime.

I mean this is the first time I've heard someone not understanding a BF. Are you confusing this thread with G-Recos?

[Rising Dragon]

The closest we've gotten to an antagonist in GBFT to is Adou Saga, who is a colossal jerk as far as the game goes, much like the Renato Brothers in the first season were, and how the second Meijin apparently was. That said he might not be the same kind of antagonist that Chairman Mashita and Baker were in season 1, but he's certainly the most antagonistic character in the series right now.
