This episode was ok. I like the Tryon 3 design for sure, but geez, everyone likes to yell on this show. I did appreciate how Sakai used the words "Zettai bakuhatsu saikyou muteki" to describe his power, nice nod to the Elderan series there

the biggest deus ex ever. sekai's should be broken with all that shit he took in that last episode
I thought the Tryon 3 didn't get stabbed until after using its special moves? Also doesn't matter since there's no reason to assume it had a chest mounted cockpit.
yeah, Try fights are like if Reiji did nothing but Build Knuckles... except all the Build Knuckles are different, executed by a combo of three different Gunpla, and the finisher move was always some new thing.
I think there's way more variety to the Try Fighters' battles than Sei/Reiji's, they just don't come off as well or as memorable because the animation is rarely up to par.
I know, I wasn't arguing the whole point, just snipping out the "Reiji's home planet was a big part of S1" idea, which I didn't think so.
But it wasn't very important to the plot. Reiji's world being behind the creation of plavsky particles is not a driving motivation for any of the characters (except maybe the villain, who, again, was not much of a persona in the series). It has nothing to do with the personalities or goals of Sei, Reiji, Yuuki, Fellini, Aila, samurai boy, et al. It has no effect on any of their arcs and only ever factors into the final episode or so for the sake of contriving a giant all-fighter melee against the big bad. It's very tangential background info that only matters at the very end, and then very quickly doesn't matter again because nbd Nils can just make his own particles.
:lol
But it's Gundam law!
I don't know if the cockpit being there has anything to do with it exploding, I assume it's because whatever's going into the chest is usually coming out through the reactor on the back.

... why the fuck are the particle reserves suddenly a thing in this season. Until ep 21, the idea that one could actually run out of juice was a completely foreign concept in the series and now it has ended up being the deciding factor in two matches in a row.
I predict that Sekai will win because the core of the Build Burning gundam contains at least a fragmet of the Arista crystal and will actually just internally generate most the of particles it will ever need even for the most outrageous special moves.
.... Shit, that would actually explain a whole lot of the stuff the Build Burning has pulled off this season.
Wat? Nobody was running out of go-juice in the G-portent debut episode. I wasn't talking about the particles themselves, rather than the concept that you could you run your tank completely dry.

Actually the particle thing has been around since Shia's G-Portent. Hell, I think even back in season 1.
I assume a guy who figured out how to extract Plavsky particles from the Arista Crystal, because it sure as hell wasn't Mashita.
Doesn't the star build run out of particles in the race episode or was that just RG saiyan mode particles they needed to keep up with a BuCUE lol.

Please, we don't need anymore instances of Sekai's shitty piloting skills being crutched by Sei's godpla.
Man it's true. If not for Sekai's School of the Undefeated of the East and Sei's OP Gundam design or Fumina's not-half-bad Gundam design, Yuuma wouldn't stand a chance.
I mean how is Yuuma Kousaka the ace designer when Fumina's gunpla is the one that's actually cool and creative? Like an SD that transforms into a Real-Type? That's pretty cool. A bigger backpack? Eh.

Hey now, he can also transform into a plane so Sekai can sit on him... Even though Sekai can fly too... Please be excited.
Pikachu doesn't do shit in the movies against legendaries!
man no wonder Sakai is upset about that contest. Can't believe the guy who built the coolest gunpla in the show lost to "bigger back pack on a not zeta" kid.

Wilhelm Von Plavsky is the scientist who discovered the Plavsky particle when Mashita and Baker took the Arista to the then fledgling Plavsky/Anaheim Labs (which was then renamed PPSE) 6 years prior to the 1st Gunpla World Championship.
its a play on plastic and minovsky, which is the space science particle used in the UC Gundam timeline 
I guess if you squint really hard, it looks kinda like a dragon.

I know about Minovsky, but holy shit I didn't connect Plastic! I feel dumb now.
Wow, the dragon is so ugly.
Rewatched the episode. 5 minutes wasted on Lucas Nemesis and Wilfrid Shitjima.
And I was right: Try Fighters seriously never land a hit on the Tryon-3 until after the Tryzan-3 Attack ends. What's more annoying, though, is that Yuuma's really got no contribution to the fight after that. All he does is shout "I WON'T RUN!!!" like that's a big thing between them and not the cop out answer he gave for being a childish prat who ran away in the show's prologue.
Hell, even when Sakai is doing his best to make him look cool ("YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!") he still doesn't have anything cool to add back.
That said, as far as the battle choreography went I don't have much of a complaint. I'd have been fine with this being the way the fight ended if Yuuma had been even as interesting as Sekai or Fumina.

I can't believe they went with it. I have never seen such a colossal difference between toy and show in a long time.
I was always wondering why its mouth looked kinda big in the show, turns out because it's made from the feet XD
What could he do, he just loves him.
The cockpit reactions are my secret favorite thing about Build Fighters. An ally comes and saves you from behind, and the character looks backwards in their holo-cockpit when the person who saved them is like five feet to their left, or just across the table from them. It's the silliest thing. I love it.

Sekai can't fly , but he can move in mid-air ... he learned that mid air jump in order to fight in space or underwater.
Thing is ... each move cost him particles so the solution the try fighter come up with is to have him being carried to the battle flied by yuuma.
Yuuma is basicly a taxi-driver.
Too bad his gunpla built for spining , never worked that way , and that the best fight that was done with that gunpla was when meijin the third 3rd was in command.

I was enjoying the fight till Yuuma won with plot armor. Hope he loses to Adou again, just cause he deserves it, and it'd be lmao.
Also why was Fumina questioning why Sakai hates Yuuma, but not why Yumma keeps bad mouthing Sekai for no reason? Girl...
They were communicating their true feelings through Gunpla, of course.

People talking about Yuuma's plot armor when Tryon 3 literally operated by rules from a different show... until it didn't.
This was the problem. Tryon 3 crested high on its Super Robot powers, but eventually it had to come back down to Earth.
What bothered me is the "finite particles" thing, which became a huge thing over... 2-3 episodes?

He can totally fly, he learned the mid air jump because you need to plant your feet for karate, he couldn't do his moves properly without stepping.
Looking at that screen shot, it's really sloppy how the SD body that makes the front half of the body/legs is suddenly like four times the size of Build Burning

I liked the Tryon 3 for the exact reason of it being a lot of BS from another franchise rather than the BS that was already contained in this series haha. But I liked the way they animated it here, will wait for a MG of it though. HG won't fill my desires for something this size.
Fully expect Evangelion, Zone of the Enders, and Macross cameos in season 3 without calling them that.

Well, the 'finite particles thing has been there for awhile in this season, I think. Even though Burning can fly itself, it's often seen riding on Lightning Gundam, likely because of the speed advantage and it doesn't use its particles for flight so Burning can focus all of it for fighting. Lightning's backpack probably has a separate tank for particles.
Episodes 19-20
There's so much to like here.The fight itself was super cool with the 1v1 martial arts and the Denial is a really interesting, creative design. The music is firing on all cylinders and is perhaps better used in this fight than it has been the whole series. That little vocal cut-in and the end of the fight, so good. The concept as well is a good one. Giving Sekai a rival from the same martial arts school should, theoretically nullify his Martial Arts hax and give us a rival that's actually a believable threat.
Like much of what happens in this show story wise, though, that doesn't pan out. Instead of having an interesting fight of tactics at the end, Sekai just wins with new and improved martial arts hax. That isn't too bad on its own, the real issue is how badly they misuse the concept of Jun's character. Not only is he only given like half an episode of story setup to make us care, but he's so damn comically evil. The real great thing the first Build Fighters did was give us a set of rivals we could root for. Fellini, Ailla, Nils and Mao were all really likable on there own. It made fights with them mean something, as you could root for them as much (if not in some cases more) than you could root for the main pair. Here, we get almost none of that. Jun, The End's Pilot, and the SD Team, for instance, are all comically unlikable bad guys. You want to see them lose and that's it. That makes their fights inherently less dramatic and interesting than those in the original Build Fighters.
Overall, I still enjoy the show despite the problems. It just could be so much more. As many steps forward as they've taken with the lack of dumb alternate-dimension bullshit, the interesting dynamic of team fights and a greater variety of suits, they've taken backward with story and character. I didn't even love the original that much, but it's even clear to me that there's something missing here. Hopefully in the inevitable Season 2 with the World Tournament they can have the best of both worlds. A great cast mixture from both seasons with a ton of backstory and setup to make us care with the team fight dynamics and suit choices of season 2? Sign me up!

Man the salt levels in this thread are super high. Finally got to watch the episode. I thought it was a great fight. Definitely the high point of the season. It had some Gurren Lagann levels of hype.
I would have attacked during the combination too. There should be no honor in Gundam fights. This is war.
As for the fight. Of course the Tryon lost. Not only because of plot but because he brought a Super robot to a Gundam battle. Different rules for different universes. Yuuma had a weaker Gundam but it was still a Gundam and he was the better pilot. The Tryon stood there like an idiot and took full on blasts to the face. Yumma was trapped so he pulled a freaking Guts move and took his own arm off to escape.

Tsk tsk tsk. Can't be living under the shadow of the 2nd Meijin, dawg.

And yet he still used tactics and planning. He didn't stand there shouting like all Super Robot fights. I'm just saying that the idea and rules of a super robot is different than Gundam so they shouldn't work the same.
Also that singular episode is better than all of Try so far.
C'mon Dresden, Nils was too much of a weirdo. Only good thing about him is that he had Fuunsaiki as his mode of transport.
The fight between Sekai and Junya was just people shouting and throwing named super attacks.
