I think it's just hard to tell what is and is not sportsman like conduct in a sport that is entirely fictional.

Attacking things and weaknesses that an actual Gundam if it were real would have = honor/sportsmanlike conduct

attacking weakness a gundam model would have (he's attacking the joints!) = dishorable play to win.

Also I interpreted that line as model joints not the gundam's joints, which can be different.



hmmm with my own definition.... would detaching and reattaching your arm be dishonorable, as it's someone models can do but actual gundam cannot (can they?)

Anyone else hoping Ral gets in on the action

Still desperately hoping that Ral is the final boss somehow.

Anyway, I think that the glue, the cotton, the clear funnels and the 1/144 soldiers are all pretty clever. I think it's a combination of the whole "serious attitude" and kicking in the kneecaps deal.
 
Watched the episode, really liked it, the battle was so hype.

Regarding a lot of the moves, it seems to me that the Plavsky particles actually react to will and emotion, so I'm not surprised at the moves they pulled off.
It was made even clearer when the Exia "purified" at the end of the match

I don't know, Sei purposefully injecting extra glue into his gunpla's arm to shut down Nils' secret move after seeing it is a lot more unsportsman-like to me than Renato Bros' use of traps and 1/144 soldiers.

I dunno, would for example a racket change in tennis be considered unsportsman-like?
Also the Renato bros. targeted the joints, and everyone was disgusted by that in universe, but using the backpack and the soldiers most seemed nonplussed. And let's not forget that Meijin was (forcefully) using the Embody, which IS cheating.
 
Embody would be like performance enhancing drugs in GBF.

Then you realize it's only GBF. And even without it, Exia with Trans Am losing to Build Strike? In what life?

No, even negating the whole double knuckle, if meijin had his senses there wouldn't have been a contest. But emotions. For some reason them yelling out during the battle brought a smile to my face. So even though S&R's victory was contrived, I don't mind much. Because this is still the best and most cohesive Gundam we've had in years.

Turn A came out in 2000. We need more Turn A.

Star Build Strike. With its own "Trans-Am." That lets it do a double Shining Finger.

Even the absurdly broken Turn-A Gundam had a hard time dealing with Shining Finger. Exia with Trans-Am can't do shit against Magic Trans Am Double Shining Finger mode. I mean, Sei and Reiji basically dropped a Love-Love Tenkyoken there and that shit blew a hole in the Devil Gundam. You know, the one that was running on an entire colony and fusing with the Earth and literally invincible at the time.
 
Pretty nice blu-ray box art for the box set 1.

I don't think that's the case, otherwise all Plavsky manipulation would be pretty much cheating, since it results in a fighting style very different from what the Gundams are supposed to have.
 
Episode 25

That was an awesome finale. All that fanservice my god.

But
dat cockblock at the Meijin and Sei fight. I need to see that fight.
*rages*

I hope there will be a next season in the future. So much fun.
 
Fucking great finale to an excellent TV series that totally lit my expectations on fire.

I'm so glad I was wrong about this show. So so glad. It reminded me why I used to be so into Gundam shit when I was younger.

Sunrise, I don't need Origin or all that shit. Just give me another season of Build Fighters.

So sad to see this go. T_T
 
Man that was a great finish. One of the best Gundam anime I've seen, and I was so happy I joined the ride from the start. Sad to see it end.

Master Gundam (LOOK! THE EAST IS BURNING RED!)
and
Gouf R35 (NO ZAKU!)

My love! My excitement! And all of my nostalgia! I'll gladly watch it all over again!

It's been fun. ;_;
 
Gundam Build Fighters Episode 25:

It was the end of an age, it was then end of an era, it was the end to Gundam Build Fighters. The penultimate episode may of sucked but the finale here delivered an all out all-star Gunpla battle for the ages. Though god damn we never got our proper Meijin-Reiji fight. The final separation of Sei and Reiji was pretty damn emotional, more emotional then I was expecting. Also, I am just going to assume that Alia was thrown in the dungeons where she belongs because that makes me happy. God damn Mondays are going to feel so empty now. Anyway, Gundam Build Fighters is perhaps the biggest surprise for me for the past two seasons, maybe even more then Log Horizon. This show should have been bloody awful; an embarrassing shitstain on the franchise comparable to the likes of Victory or Gundam SEED Destiny. The reason being is this is Yu-Gi-Oh! or Beyblade or some other toyetic installment of a merch franchise. Gundam reduced to mere children's toys. Yet here we are, Gundam Build Fighters now stands tall as one of the all time greatest Gundam entries ever and is mostly transcendent over its stigmas because it has a lighter touch. Also because this is pure Gundam porn and features soem of the greatest mech combat seen in a good long while. ALL HAIL THE GLORIOUS 2D MECHA ACTION!
 
That battle royale at the beginning of the episode, the music, the action THE EXCITEMENT!!!!! Tears were shed throughout this entire episode because of how great it was.

WE NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Old Men rocked.

Fience Rising really is the Wing Gundam Zero EW of the show and that it does nothing but pose. I kept hoping it would do something other then just get a close up every now and then, but sadly its entire purpose was to a supply unit. Liked that it had an Orange Beam at the end instead of the Pink.

Crossbone Mao - Well all that build up was for nothing, seriously I'm not sure how anyone can be "happy" over a Crossbone being animated given the amount of stuff this thing did.

Miss Sazabi - Not happy with it's showing either.

Good ending, but not great.

Fun note, they worked in the last of the Wing suits right at the very end by showing Sandrock. Making Wing the only show to have all it's leads make a cameo as far as I remember.
 
Good ending.

Old dudes were probably the best part of the episode. Again Build Knuckle saves the day, this time by punching a rock, but whatever. I really liked how the ended the episode though. Good show.
 
Episode 25:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.
BUILD KNUCKLE ON EVERYTHING. FUCK YOU, ROCK.
Goddamn, this show. I'mma miss it. I'll definitely keep building Gunpla after this.
Also
BUILD STRIKE COSMOS
is an automatic buy. Like, ASAP.

Edit: Just realized I forgot all about the last battle. That was way cool. Loved the Star Build with the Wing Gundam arms. Looked cooooool.
 
SO SAD RIGHT NOW!

What a fantastic episode. Exia Repair, Gouf, Perfect Gundam, Master Gundam <3

I really hope there's another season or OVA to followup on Sei and Reji meeting again.

My monday mornings are going to be so much more miserable after this week.

EDIT: Why were they able to keep gunpla battling after the incident if the crystal was destroyed? Oh well who cares?

Also, looking back on the show, aside from Strike being the hero suit, the creators must not have liked SEED much considering it has almost no other presence in this show.

IIRC the Gundam piloted by Mr. HOOONOOOOOOOORRRR never showed up.

You see that shot of Nils and Caroline being all Japanese in the ending? The newspaper their photo appears in tells you that they successfully synthesized Plavsky particles.
 
Great episode and ending. The feels at the end. Did not expect that.

I assumed that's what that newspaper was showing based on the equipment behind them. It looked like there was something in the tube as well. Thanks for the confirmation.
 
I really hope one day someone or Bandai releases a list of all the cameos, it would be great.

I must say I'm really shocked that the final enemies weren't the second leads like Wing Zero, Strike Freedom, EZ8 and the others given the majority of them where never shown.
 
God I'm such a mess. What a finale. Feels were had.

So happy that Aila x Reiji happened to finish the show. Yay!

Honestly the best Gundam TV series ever made.
