Pretty fun episode, this one.

Dat Obari pose.

Dat Plavsky Gate.

Dat
Sakai's teammates talking him into losing. Like, I get the message behind it, but this isn't a super robot anime, lol.

Welp, time to wait for the next episode.
Which, from the preview, looks like it's going to be a two-parter where nothing of note happens for the first half. Again.
 
So, according to the show narrative, we now have two teams that didn't deserve the win in the semifinal, moving to the final.

Man, that Tryon supermove. I saw that before, Zambot, G3, Daitarn combo.

all those super robots and you didn't mention the one that actually has been referenced :P
 
Tryon 3 was so OP. Goddamn. And yeah Lucas seems to have confirmed S3. Hopefully they go back to single battles cause this team stuff is shit.
 
Episode 22

This episode shows both the good and bad side of the new season. When it's good, I think it mostly works. They're trying to tell a story about younger fighters who aren't exactly elite and still have a long way to go, they're trying different and slightly more creative things like with pure super robot stuff. Those are not negatives.

But I think the problem comes with the fact that this is a sequel to Build Fighters, and it feels like many of the themes are a bit pointless considering how instead of the show telling us that people can grow from noobs to champions, we actually saw that in the first season without the commentary. It feels like the show has gone backwards thematically. Also, the production values continue to feel sub-par compared to the first. There was some really nice shading in some scenes here, but on the whole the animation and the polish in most scenes were not as good as they should have been. Still, it's SUPER ROBOT. Can't hate too much. :)
 
I agree in a poster in /m/ that Tryon should have been what Try Fighters have. It'd make a nice foil towards season 1.
 
There's zero reason that Yuuma should have won that fight other than him being a main character. It's nonsense writing. The only reason he won was because he "has" to. The Tryon was a better mech. They were at a disadvantage both in strength and in tactics. He was totally outnumbered. The show had to TRY really hard to convince the audience that Yuuma is some great BUILDer and FIGHTER, but I don't think it ever succeeded. He seems like a scrub!

like I said, muh feelings

the fundamental strength of a super robot can be its weakness
 
That win was absolutely contrived to the max. Mechs can't move but they can, particles running out in enemy team mech, and Minato is literally talked into losing.

Holy fuck at all dat plot armor.

When Yuma became the last one standing from Team Try, I thought he's going to use his speed specialty to strafe shooting Tryon to defeat him or something. Nope, he won because fuck you plot armor.

What about my feelings as a viewer who is really annoyed at how the main team are underdeveloped scrubbers who win with plot armor?! That should have been more than enough to power Tryon for a finishing attack! :)
 
I really hope season 3 is one on one, one-parter fights

Precisely.

The Tryon-3 hadn't even been fucking HIT and had already devastated the inarguably more powerful Gundams on Team Try Fighters. Yuuma's Lightning Gundam had only survived because it had been shielded, and even then it was shaking when it landed.

More to the point, though, it's a fucking Sniper Gundam. It had no business hoping to win against the hilariously powerful Tryon-3.

The only reason Try Fighters seems to be winning is because everybody else has a limited supply of particles and they don't seem to.

But seriously "oh this gun is conveniently still functional despite having been ravaged! GUESS I WIN."

Yuuma only won because the plot required him to.
 
I love that when the Try-On pieces disappeared at the beginning of the fight it was just to split up and go to their various elemental locations to look cool before combining.

And even though the gate looked nice, Yuuma's super move is just a boring as he is.
 
I knew this would be the outcome and has been souring me on Try Fighters for a while now. I understand the main cast has to win but how they are winning is the problem and I agree why we're suppose to be in favor of them isn't' really there as well. I'm not even sure if I want to even bother watching this episode now.
 
I can't root for Team Try Fighters after this episode. They planned to attack a super robot as it was combining.

How do you do that? How do you live with yourself? Only a supervillain would even conceive of such tactics, much less attempt to execute them. It was heartening to see that Sakai and his team were one step ahead there, but then plot armor had to break in favor of those same villains.

Disgusting anti-super robot bias here.

I blame it on Yuuma. He's probably living trash that enjoys Victory Gundam, which indulges in such filthy behavior on a regular basis.

Like I think the Victory Gundam gets parts blown up during combinations almost every episode early on.
 
Jarmel said:
It's pretty laughable that the extent of Team Try's strategy was attack during combination.

To be fair, they had a plan A, which was "don't let them get close enough to each other to combine." But that never could have worked either.

The biggest betrayal here is Sekai going along with the plan. Doesn't trying to hit your enemy when they're weak, instead of fighting them honorably at full strength, go against everything the Jigen Hao-Ryu school of martial arts teaches?

In Sekai's defense, he did actually attempt to fight the Tryon head on after that.

I think the problem is that, just like Meijin, nobody took Sakai seriously. I mean, I can't even remember them ever bothering to watch the Tryon fight, and they were all so concerned with Lucas Nemesis and Team Gunpla Shitlords that they didn't even remember they had to fight Sakai and the Build Busters.

Nobody took them seriously, so when they suddenly had to fight a Gunpla that powerful they all got stomped. Like, if Sekai had realized that Rocket Punch was ridiculously OP, he might've tried more than just a wuss attack, but he had no idea the boomerang was even coming. Meanwhile Fumina and Yuuma stood around with their pants down while Tryon took out the team's ace. The more you think about this fight, the less possible it is Try Fighters could've won.
 
Man, I just wish Sei shows up and curb stomps these try hards.

I have a strange feeling the last episode will just be screaming. No words will be given just incomprehensible screaming.

The enemy had all the mechs immobilized and performed a special on all three. They straight out would have lost. Fumina literally says she can't move but somehow got her shield up.

We already know what this thread will look like, but what will happen in the episode?

But seriously, isn't there four episodes left? How are they going to stretch this final fight out?
 
Why is Tryon's special attack in the shape of a G?

I mean before that. Like, before he does the Liger Howl. I agree, though. They should've lost. When they exploded they should've actually exploded.

Only 3 episodes left. Next week is a recovery/calm before the storm episodes, then the final match, and it'll either be a two parter, or the final episode will be an epilogue. The director and Teraoka are storyboarding episode 24, so that's a little unusual because Teraoka usually storyboards the final battles.

I thought for sure that we'd be seeing some awesome gimmick from Yuuma this week, but nope. The Artistic Gunpla Contest champion just shot bigger lazers using his teammates better built gunpla. Sigh.
 
Were they trying to tease a next season (if any) with the Open Tournament?

Always find it a bit weird we go from International to National from S1 to S2. The team aspect is barely used, too.

I'm aware. I'm asking why the capital T Tryon has a special attack in the shape of a G.

It's like if Sailor Moon stacked with Suns, or if Burning Finger was a kick.
 
Episode 22

This episode somehow managed to pull off being both great and awful.

First Sakai comes through with the exposition drop that would have worked better had it been shown somewhere in the previous 21 episodes.

The fight ends up being awesome but there is no way the Tryon 3 should have lost, other than the fact Sakai isn't a main character.

If we are getting a Season 3 my wish is less Jigen Hoah.
 
After this episode, Sakai is the Artistic Gunpla Builder Champion of my heart

Also, is it just me, or does Wilfred look off-model in basically every shot he's in. There's something about the way he's drawn that always looks so awkward.

Hard to stay on model when your design is that dumb.
 
I would have enjoyed a more physical confrontation between the two fighters. Like Sekai and the one who was fighting for his brother in the hospital. That was an awesome fight!
 
This fight was awful, or at least the try team side of it was. Yuuma has remained a shit character with a horrible gundam, and this is coming from the guy that likes Lockon in 00 who is also a sniper though he has the benefit of actually being likable. Sakai had a great gundam and like many have said was robbed the victory just like Lucas was from the snob academy. Damn I was pretty psyched for this season but now it's just being such a let down. They should show the fight for 3rd place so we could see what the true finals would have been like.

Remember last season when we got great fights like the last Felini fight and the sniper gm vs yuki fight? Those were the good times man.
 
I loved and both hate this episode.

I love watching Team Try get hilariously wrecked hard before they even managed to get a scratch on Tryon 3. I am upset because they broke the rule of surviving after the super robot does its special finisher move on you with the explosion going off behind it.

YOU ARE BREAKING ALL THE RULES BY SURVIVING. Also attacking during a transformation sequence? How classless. And let's not forget Yuuma won because....uhhh....he's a main character even though his machine was clearly outmatched.

I hope Minato beats the crap out of him in their builder's contest. #yuumasucks

Don't remind me. They've yet to have a moment like during the Felini vs Reiji fight at the end. Oh the gundam gore!
