| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was fun and intense with Adou in action. He took quite a bit of risk though...Overall a fairly impressive fight and it was also nice to see Shia in combat. I think Adou might be a too aggressive at times tbh.  A nice duel between Lucas and Wilfrid as well! :D That was a very close match imo. |

| The Crossbone was the best part of the episode, that thing was a walking armory. Nice fight, also those Haro repair machines the G-Portent uses are cute! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| G-Portent, a walking Combat Repair Gunpla. Goddamit, I want the Crossbone to win. *sigh* Well, Lucas the only Ace-class fighter on their team. I guess team Nemesis is only a semi-finalist team I guess when it comes to the main tournament that the series is focusing. |
| Well... I HAD FORESEEN ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED... Has happened? Have happened? Had happened? Uuhh Whatever... This battle was very similar to Tatsuya vs Julian, back in season one. Tatsuya/Kijima being the amazing pilot from Gunpla academy, and Julian/Lucas as the god-like foreigner who suddenly appears in the middle of the series, who ultimately lost even though it seemed like he was winning. The ending scene almost got me though. I thought i was wrong, and Sunrise was going for a plot twist. NOPE. THAT TRANSIENT BURST THO! WHEN'S MG TRANSIENT GUNDAM BEING RELEASED? I'm such a sucker for Trans-am Burst/Quantum Burst stuff. |
 |
| I was almost really positively supprised when the Chrossbone was still standing at the end, the Gunpla Academy losing would've been a good twist in my book... but nope, of course not. :/ Wilfred it probably one of the more uninteresting characters to be a rival, even though the fellow student "who strayed from the right path to obtain power" is also just as generic I thought he would've made a much better rival. Somebody completely out of the left field (like Lucas in this case for example) who beats the supposed to be rivals would've been much cooler... |

Somebody completely out of the left field (like Lucas in this case for example) who beats the supposed to be rivals would've been much cooler... nah, I doubt Celestial Sphere will be defeated even if Transient lost that duel. Both The End and G-Portent are still functioning thus the Crossbone still need to defeat at least one of them to earn a tie. |
| They did a good job of not making the outcome patently obvious, but they kind of painted themselves into a corner here: Either they dump a key rival by the wayside, or they have the expected outcome instead of the nice twist. This result was almost a no-brainer, as Lucas, already being the European champ, could still show up in the world tournament even if he lost. Sigmund05 said: I'm seeing some sources state 25, but I don't have hard confirmation. Assuming it ends at 25, it still looks like it was made with additional material in mind, so it's highly likely to end up being a split-series like Gundam 00 if the DVD and merchandise sales are good.Is this anime going to have 50 episodes? I hope there is going to be a season 2 because of the open tournament that follows this one. As Japan representatives they could face Tatsuya and some of the world rankers from season 1. |
Roychop said: I was pretty dissapointed with the fight. Yeah Lucas got in a few good hits and did hold his own against the whole Team and even overpowering them, but he never beat any of them to where they couldn't keep fighting or took 1 out. I was hoping Lucas would at least have won the one on one fight with Kijima, because Lucas would have still lost anyway, but he would have at least beaten one of them. he did win, Lucas beat Kijima. but both of them fall because of their own clash. the gunpla academy win because there's Adou and Shia. |
| I knew that that Gunpla Academy were going to win because of the foreshadowing etc but I was hoping that we would have still gotten a twist in some way The battle was really good and both sides did well and all but I wanted Lucas to at least take out one or two people in the team. Regardless he still rekt them all pretty good, his Gunpla is a freaking tank lol. The conclusion of the fight was probably my biggest disappointment though. When I saw that Lucas' team got taken out and that he was going to 1 v 1 Wilfred I really thought that they would have gave Lucas the win since even if he beat him, The Academy would have still went through to he finals because they have more members still standing Sighhhh, they hyped up Lucas only to just overlook all of the possibilities that they could have taken for this match to make it epic :( Oh well, at least we can say that he fought them all at once and owned them AND we can also make an argument that since he was low on particles that as well as him not having a 5 star team like they do is why he lost Anyway, it was still a pretty good episode and after all this open tournament name dropping we better get a second season too. |

| Pretty good episode. It was pretty clear though when the team members of lucas were down, who was going to win. |

| Damn! Were Try fighters seriously not watching that epic match O_o? I know they're preparing but it's too hype to miss lol XD Awesome battle! Gotta love that Full Cloth. Gunpla Academy's "team work" is so awesome though :3 Gotta love how Shia repaired her G-Portent like that. Lucas did quite well against all of them himself but yeah, there's no way he'd win against 3 BAs by himself ^^; Esp with th Dat Transient Burst at the end!!! Friggin epic! And the OST was amazing during that scene >.<! |
 |
| great episode. i like how lucas didn't just have an op gunpla to fight 3v1 but actually had a strategy with resupplying particles i really really hope we get a second season to try fighters with the world tournament. |
| I actually really liked this episode, despite the fact that it breaks Try's continuity quite badly (Why was Wilfrid worried about it's particle emissions?Just about every other fight this season has sown that not only is it not a problem but that particle emission increase drastically at the end of fights when the big guns get pulled out, as demonstrated by the Transient Burst.), but it showed an excellent fight between tough opponents and finally, for the first time since the Ez8's way back towards the start of the season, tactics in a 3 vs 3 match have actually mattered! This just goes to show how bad the rest of Try has been and this is what it should have been like from the start. The only blotches were the lazy finish, not showing that final battle between Crossbone and Transient should be a hangable offense, and the G-Portent showing more idiotic magic in being able to repair itself. I think a 3rd season of Build Fighters is a good bet, and I hope it's on the world stage so that the likes of Fellini, Sei, Mao, Meijin, Julian, the Renato brothers, Luang Dallara etc can come back and put these nobodies in their place. |
| Quite a nice episode! I found it more enjoyable since it wasn't Sekai, and you didn't what would actually happen. Looking forward to more! |
 |
| Would have been much cooler if Crossbone had taken out the other two Academy members, the Crossbone was introduced as probably the strongest gunpla in the tournament but it wasn't able to take out even one of them....even if he did beat Wilfrid there would be two others left and Lucas would lose |
"That's right boys, We've got tons of Sequels and Models coming" |
 |
| Wow this might be the only place on the internet that isn't full of hyperbole and hatred for this episode. For the first time ever MAL might actually have the most rational and tolerable discussion on an anime episode. |
| lol How bout that Crossbone hype? The weapons are pretty cool though. Hella thought Crossbone was gonna win last week but I guess not. Well I wanted Gunpla Academy to win. Looking forward to the next episode. PLEASE GIVE TRYON 3 A YUUSHA SWORD!!! |

| Not going to lie, I actually wanted Lucas to win. I think that he should have beaten 2 of them. I mean come on, his skill against Wilfred and Adou to me shows that he SHOULD have beaten at least one. The fact that he was portrayed as a solo player doomed him. I felt it when he told the others about backing him up, but his skill was way above that of the GPA. I knew he would lose, but like others I think it would have been cool if maybe Adou and Alia tried to pincer him in a rush (Adou going in and Alia trying to stop him) and Lucas beats them both, THEN THE DUEL with Wilfred, same black to screen....team try fighter comes in and looks shocked, Lucas still standing....AND THEN HE FALLS. Despite him still losing I think that would have been a better end. Also season 3 is going to be the international tournament. I just feel it. |

Also thought that ateast one of them would lose to Lucas atleast, was kind of disappointed... :/ |

| Well, he badly damaged The End, faught the Transient to a draw almost and had pretty much taken out the Portent until magical pixies came along, created plastic out of thin air and fixed it for her. I hate the Portent and it's nonsensical godly abilities. Looking forward to the Tryon 3 getting stomped. |

XD Seriously, how the hell do you miss such a hyped match-up? At very least, they could scout the gunplas. Welp, preparation for what's at hand is important too... Epic fight in general. Likewise, I agree with many here that Lucas should have taken out at least one of the gunplas before going down (though I guess he did in a technical sense with Shia, though she had the ability to repair her own gunpla). |

Welp, preparation for what's at hand is important too... But they always had the option of watching the replays/videos I guess? That's what everyone has been doing. True... but who wouldn't want to see that live if you were there? xP |
|
| Best part of GBF is still the Crossbones getting animated. That Csa+Csb release. And people expected Lucas to win? Are we even watching the same show?? He had a good fight, and an actual tactic, but the behemoth Try has been building up all season wasn't going to lose. Geara Dogas are always great. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Damn....that Gundam from Crossbones was really kickass, although Lucas was lost. G-Portent was rather OP.....it can repair itself? Goddamn Shia, you are genius.....and adorable :) |

| Team Von Braun is invalid...based on the skill of Lucas...if other two players were as skilled as Lucas (both fighting and gunpla building) then it would have been child's play to them beating Gunpla Academy. |
 |
| worst episode Fuck in episode 20 crossbone is like god who can kill 3 gundam with very scary power that what people look but too bad is juat only in word but......... what i got???? fight with re-charging battery ??? WTF very disappointment he is european champion not 7-years-old kids what a scam from sunrise f**k this episode |
 |
| Couldn´t we have at least ONE of the gumpla academy get taken down.? It made it seem like the fight was entirely one sided. The fight still kicked ass and the production values look gorgeous. |
fynnian said: Oh shit lol...didn't realise he was the whiny shota that aila was fighting for in gbf. Whiny shota became epic character though. To be fair, I thought this episode was really good. Do people REALLY EXPECT a single Gundam, no matter how powerful, to beat three extremely powerful opponents at the same time, even without all that foreshadowing? Let's be realistic people... Lucas himself alone is on par if not more skilled than Wilfrid. Wilfrid only won because his team wore Lucas down. Otherwise, the balance would have tipped in Lucas's favor. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Gunpla Acadamy won : 0 |
I really liked this episode, but the thing that caught my interest is this single animation error |
 |
| X-1 Full Cloth was a suit meant to carry out one big assault with high risks. It was not a suit for extended ms combat. Obviously a terrible choice. Still makes me wonder if Sunrise is actually going to make after teasing with Crossbone Maoh in S1 and now with Full Cloth. |
| That's all Lucas got after all the hyping he got??! I mean sure it was impressive that he took on all three of them but still.. |
| Such a intense episode! :) The reason why Lucas couldn't win is because of his team. Only if Lucas gotten quality skilled team members with better Gunpla instead of 2 resupply units, you could have win but oh well... :/ In the next episode there's no doubt Tryon 3 it's going to be destroyed lol |
 |
| Guys, Shia and Ando were on their last breaths. Shia only managed to get her unit to function slightly, it was still in critical orange. Ando was acting tough, but that heat spike did major damage. Lucas did amazingly well against those 3. |
 |
| The 'Masterpiece' is still honed by its inspirational 'chord' ~ . 7 years ago ~ . "To the Future of Gunpla." You bet They are Formidable Rivals !! The Semfinals !! Team Celestial Sphere vs. Team Von Braun !! The Resupplying Plan was smart but they're still an incomplete Wings !! VERY GREAT EPISODE !!! Radiance on Crossbone X1 Full Cloth . |
