Gundam Build Fighters - Episode 4 Discussion / Poll

I expect someone rich will make their Gunpla out of metal(Titanium???).

[Mephis]

Now that I think about it, I don't think I saw a single AGE Gunpla even as a box in the Iori Shop despite them having the rebooted/remastered SEED Gunpla such as Lagowe

Right, nothing from 00 S2, 00 movie, nor AGE has been shown, or CAN by shown on this show due to the MBS agreement.

Keep in mind that Gunpla work because they are made of the "special plastic" that reacts with Plavsky particles... So most likely there's a limit to how much foreign material a builder can put in.

I guess metal stuff only pertains to weaponry or shield.

You know, I wonder why Mao wasn't made as a female character?

The guy's face looks female in a way but it seems he is male =w=

It will affect their Gunpla's performance, since only the plastic part could interact with the particle. That's why only Build Strike's shield is reinforced with metal part, and not the whole shield.

Not sure about that, since the first time I saw him, I knew he's a guy. The same thing with Sei and Sazaki. I honestly don't know why people could mistake them for girls. They are far from being trap.

Joshing aside, early this morning BACK-ON was the guest for the Listen! radio program. Too bad I went too sleep early and I probably had missed the full version of the OP. The audio is available at Youtube though, but all the songs that were played were edit out by the uploader.
I am really looking forward to the theme songs single and the OST.

The SEIyuu and (part of) the band

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Speaking of similar vein, I saw 2ch already dubbing the voice actress of Sei as seiyuu who voiced toy commercials' characters . There are not
that much though.

People thought Sei and Sazaki were girls? What in the world?! LOL

Mao however when I saw him, I thought it was a girl because of the cute face and the eyes pretty much.

Those shows are too new and my guess is it was to protect MBS and prevent Sunrise from taking one of those shows and producing a sequel with a rival company (which TV Tokyo, the broadcast for Gundam BF, is) within a specified period of time.

Unicorn and Gunpla Builders weren't produced by MBS so that's why they can be on this show even though they came out after Gundam 00.

Man talk about BS copyright rules sunrise rarely make sequels to any CE series and as fare as I'm aware Seed was the only exception. This sounds almost as bad as the situation with Marvel selling their movie copyrights to fox and sony only to be unable to get them back.

[Mephis]

Guys, I just realized Sei started building Build Gundam Mk-II.

If you see 07:42 and 08:19, you will see that Sei is in the middle of making Build Gundam Mk-II's long beam rifle

I guess it will come out soon enough then.

[MeisterBabylon]

I'm more fond of "The Idol That's A Nerd" archetype rather than how Kirara was character-typed. Think of how Uesaka is a voice actress who was into Russian tanks. Voice acting is her job and Russian senshado were what made her special. Getting it the other way round is just shallow.

However, Sunrise gave me the perfect cliche "antagonist" for my fic, so I'm glad.

[Mephis]

Now the question remains: Is she going to show up again...?

Better yet, will she befriend Sei for real in the future...?

Intriguing. Care to elaborate, if you please?

Throughout the episode, I think Sunrise did hint that she will come back as a modeler. She was able to analysis Sei's gunpla, and she could tell that his gunpla are top notch when she was visiting Sei's shop. Furthermore, there is her question that she doesn't even know if she's an idol or a modeler, and how she keeps on sticking with the GM (the Gerbera Tetra wasn't built by her) both in her conversation and her flashback made me think she doesn't hate Gunpla.

Then we have Mr.Ral's last words toward her. I have a strong feeling she will return, for a better. Hopefully it will be Mihoshi, not Kirara.

Because she looks better as Mihoshi?

Fact is how her Mihoshi looks are getting more fanarts than her Kirara look XD

[Vsin]

...huh, I just realized something. The reason why Mihoshi like 0080 GMs may be because all the kits she mentioned have nearly identical parts, only with minor modifications (like the Sniper pack or the RGM-79 GS backpack/rifle). Pretty easy to memorize when you only really need to differentiate the accessories.

I wonder if she actually made GMs in general then lol

I'm not sure its as bad as what happened to Marvel... Since Gundam 00 Season 1 can be used in the show and Season 2 can't... Season 1 came out 6 years ago and Season 2 came out 5... So maybe its just a limited-time agreement that runs out after 5 years.

Yeah, turn back a page - I elaborated there.

[Mephis]

It's ok. 00 Season 2 and over have OP mobile suits and AGE has fail ones.

And it's better to see mobile suits that have similar kind of system and engine fighting each other lol.

[Rising Dragon]

OP doesn't seem to matter much in Build Fighters. The Freedom was definitely overpowered in SEED. Certainly didn't help it much in the first episode of BF.
