Harry Ord's gold SUMO lost and worse it was picked by a gorilla.

[Kenju of the Right]

Yuuki is so cool! Especially with Char's Zaku
that OST made it even more amazing! too bad the fight was so short

also the Qubleley in the OP I'm so hyped!

[Se7enSword]

Just like that Zaku, this episode was amazing!

The fights continue to be great, and suspicions regarding Reiji were on the spot.

[Kenju of the Right]

Reiji is pretty arrogant isn't he?
Yuuki was being cool and polite yet he calls him a jerk

he even says that ''i can't believe i lost in this battle of toys''
he obviously doesn't have much care(or maybe respect too) for game,
I expect that to change tho as this progresses

and just


i'm gonna cry

[Shinhwa]

So it seems Reiji isn't human...?

[DuelGundam2099]

^No he is not.

I liked the episode for the most part, but the music is.... Kind of bad. It was also a little funny seeing Ral show up out of nowhere at school.

[Aurelis]

I've just watched it and I must say, Bandai and Sunrise are generous enough to upload the English-subbed 720P on Youtube.

I liked the episode, which serves to explain how Reiji got into this whole Championship, and also the introduction of the Char. I mean Aizen. Oh damn it Yuuki!

The battle was great to watch, despite the Strike being under-equipped. I especially liked that move Reiji pulled involving the hip-mounted beam saber. I just didn't understand how he didn't manage to dodge the Zaku's low kick despite dodging a beam shot earlier.

One thing that was off was the time taken for the Sumo to charge it's weapon, almost like Pacific Rim's super slow charging. And I was hoping that Reiji let go and allow the Strike to flow with the air flow, and then fly around the landscape before dealing the killing blow but alas, they went for the straightforward charge.

The change in battle landscape was great to watch too. Technically, what would happen if one player was playing as RX-78-2 and the other was on a Freedom. The Freedom would launch itself into space and then what?

On a last note, the ED showed Sei cosplaying as Build Strike and Reiji as MK-II. Does that mean Reiji will get his own kit and Sei will fight his own battle?

PS: I wonder if Seiji is a physical manifestation of the particle.

[Shinhwa]

Maybe the MK-II will be a 2nd unit? Also I like that customized Qubleley.

I don't think that's been confirmed yet. Some kind of teleportation technology is not out of the question if this story has a futuristic setting.

A generous thank you goes out to them. I rather like the direction this is going, what with all the references to classic Gundam series. To me, though, Reiji and Sei have a Graham Aker and Billy Katagiri dynamic to them: one's a brilliant pilot, and the other's a brilliant MS designer :

I thought Tatsuya's personality seemed similar to Graham Aker when he was fighting against Reiji and Sei in this episode.

What a cutie and her Qubeley looks badass too.

Looking by her character description, why do I feel she is similar being as Reiji?

Like it said she has the skills to pilot Gunpla but doesn't really have knowledge about Gundams or anything. Reiji pretty much lacks knowledge about the common stuff too, so I wouldn't be surprised if she and he were the same kind of beings.

Considering she is in a "team", I would say she is being used or something. I don't know.

Also her Qubeley seems to have a Gundam-like face with a visor somewhat.

[DuelGundam2099]

It seemed more like a Quin Mantha to me.

[RainbowMagnet]

I can't quite believe it, but this might just be my AOTS. Something about it makes me feel like a kid again.

Also the OP/ED are fantastic. Have been re-watching them all day.

Design totally looks different Queen Mansa though O_o

Yeah, love the OP and ED XD

Images of the unknown modified Qubeley

It really looks like a Gundam face on Qubeley OwO

[brightman]

^Yup, not quite the same but evokes a very Psyco Gundam Mk II-ish vibe with its face.
