Pretty good episode overall. Sakai and his knuckles are something to never be underestimated. Good fight especially with all the teamwork going on.

At the same time, I'm curious who else they may face in the future in the Nationals. Beach episode next time? ;o or at least Mirai's opponent seems to adapt with the waters with that surfboard..

That was pretty intense :3 I wonder what the explanation to the head not getting destroyed and even destroying the hand is :O Is it just the difference in building skills by Sei vs Sakai?

The teamwork was quite amazing. Loved Yuuma's self explosion and cutting the cannon even while half his Gunpla's body was destroyed.

Sekai was awesome. Loved his pin point shield protection. Pretty BA. And the burning mode was pretty cool.

Nxt ep Mirai Mizugi :3 I wonder if there will be any recurring characters from S1 in the nationals? Should be fun.

Good ep. Tatsuya Yuuki needs to spectating fights more in this since his lines never get old to me. What happen to Sekai at the end? Is his Gunpla so powerful that he recieves the feedback now? Well if so he won't last long when the damage levels goes up.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!! MY BODY WAS NOT FUCKING READY FOR THIS.....YUUKI-SENPAI....MEIJIN MOTHER FUCKING KAWAGUCHI...OH MY LANTA I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW...Best character of the series is here TwT

Damn that battle was way too epic, and the dude from the other team earned my respect when he bitch slapped that girl for putting down Gyanko like that...Serves her right

I really hope that this ends up being 2 cour like season 1. Yuuki alone made this episode a 10/5 for me, I've been waiting to see him since episode 1 and now I can die happy :''')

It's always tough to build up opponents reasonably, so they did a great job here. The Victory/G Fighter docked form didn't look/feel all that formidable, but everything else was wonderful. Yuuma's part of the battle was fantasic, and Sudou's return amidst all the immobile floating was brilliant.
Delicious.

That ex-Meijin. That commentry. Those split-screens reactions. That soundtrack. If only the show could be this good every single episode.

Looks like Sekai's synching with Burning will become one of the more important plot points in the future.

This episode can only be described in 1 word - Boss.

It was so good. Loved to see them fight to the last, except wtf the gundam punching Build Burning caused his arm to break? Ok then.

But... Hoshino-san's oppai... thats the reason this whole new 2nd season is so good.

Wow... next episode beach episode. Sunrise finally did it right this time.

Mirai and Hoshino in bikinis? GG WP. Oppai everywhere i swear. Can't wait!

Sleggar Akira brightslapping a bitch was funny.

Amazing episode even though the outcome was obvious it still had me on the edge.

Since next week is a beach episode hope for some more cameos. I need to see Feldt in a swimsuit or Sumeragi.

While that episode was badass, how the hell did they manage to repair Build Burning after its battle against the Destiny?
I'm pretty sure despite with all of Yuuma's skill, he isn't on Sei's level...

Maybe it's one of the reasons Sei "hid" the Gunpla to begin with?

Awesome episode anyway

No, in Official Regional matches damage level is set to B. Only in the Nationals it's going to be set to A as referenced by Sudou from his past.

After Sudou revealed his past experience, Damage Level A is the only level capable of destroying a Gunpla, and B just results in trivial damages. while in C, Gunpla doesn't retain any damages.

Did they have damage levels in Build Fighters? Cause I don't remember, and I finished watching that a few days ago. Guessing they added it, so we wouldn't complain about how the Build Burning Gundam is fixed after every battle.

I think this is one of the most intense battle episodes as of late. Definitely one of the episodes to remember, but a bit over-dramatic. But, it is a good launching pad for more serious story points.

And, I just came to a massive realization. The particles when the Build Burning is red look kind of similar to the Plavsky Particles when they were used by Aila, Reiji or that President. Similar color might mean we're seeing a similar incident of the Plavsky Particles doing something in response to emotions, like last season.

Therefore, the season might start to delve deeper into that aspect. And heres a quick theory: the Build Burning is covered in finely made Arista Crystals. Given Sekai's emotional personality, is resonates with the Arista, but the amount of Arista in the Build Burning drains your emotional capacity. Also, the Build Burning was made on the request of Nils who remade Arista.

Also, some theories on why Sekai's head lived, the explosion had weakened the Mega-Shiki's frame and it was that much weaker in comparison to the Build Burning's frame. But, two questions:
1) How do that repair the Build Burning so easily? Its built on a whole another level.
2) Are they going to make an upgrade to their Gunplas now? At least Yuuma, his Lightning is wrecked.

Damage Level B only does trivial damage, Damage Level A is the one that reflects 100% of damage in-game.

So, Yuuma's Lightning is not wrecked and BBG does not need "fixing" in the first place.

Fucking awesome. Kind of disappointed how the Sekai-Akira fight played out, but the overall battle makes up for it. Tatsuya showed up for some extra commentary, and Sleggar had to slapabitch, again. Looks like next episode is cooldown.

dem.. this episode is intense..
like the scene when build burning received a scratch, the scratch transferred to sekai.. experience the pain ~

Model damage A is tht intense ? wonder when Sei and Reiji time when it is not introduced.. did they playing with damage level A ?
if so they will be much more powerful fighter and builder as they train with damage level A not like GBF Try using damage level B or C so that while training the gunpla is not damaged..

Pilot being one with his gumpla, a bit cliched but it works
The mix of animation, choreography and ost make the fights too good.

Akira slapping bitch felt so right. And honestly, I couldn´t help but love Sudou and part of me whised he hadn´t lost.
Hopefully G-Master will joing the supporters family along with Gyanko´s team and Shimon.

Too much melodrama, way less feels. Well at least this episode didn't go overboard with drama. Also Meijin and his lines. But why does Allan look so old and Meijin almost the same as ever? Guess it's the glasses.

Glad they showed damage levels, so in the first season Damage Level is always A since we saw Carlos Kaisers Alpha Aizeru in piece. Hopefully it will be A in the World Tournament so at least there is some impact or feels when the suits are damaged. Well at least this explain why that piercing shot in episode 1 didn't damage BBG........kind of.

Honestly i can't get any feels for the main team except for Yuuma and the opponents are always better and deserve to win. Fumina is shoved to a support role(not saying support is bad though) and ms. fanservice role. At least this fight was enjoyable except the final part.

Yuuma's part of the fight was the only thing that felt like previous season and awesome. He literally saved the whole team by going all out. Also the combination or V Gundam and G-Fighter was sweet. I also liked Try Fighters combination....that was a good idea.

But the sad thing is Sekai doesn't know about the capability of the BBG and it's annoying to see Reiji/Sei's trump card and double-edged sword used so cheaply just to make the MC win. So he learned something new.........10 seconds of still pictures could have shown the training. BBG activates super mode because of 'manly shouting' and 'shounen logic' in a Gunpla battle..........sure why not?

Also i swear the "Damage feedback" idea is just plain stupid and going to cause a lot of unnecessary drama in the future(as if there isn't already enough). Half the things i liked in season 1 are already lost............sigh.

As some someone stated, it's set to damage level B. Also, they've already announced some of the new gunplas that (I assume) will be their upgraded versions.

This episode had one of the best animation in probably gundam history lol.
Either way really good 5/5 episode.

The end where Akira gets the Hyaku-shiki fist destroyed by Build burning gundam showed that the gunpla Sei made was much superior to the Hyaku-shiki.
2nd season >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>1st season.

It still bothers me who fixes the Build Burning. Couldn't possibly be Hoshino. And this...
