THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A lot of storytelling and info dump this episode...

It seems we're really getting to know the world of Gunpla and the circumstances of the past. The developer of GBN also revealed itself to Riku and his friens. Personally, I think we're getting some serious linear episodes coming up. It made the revelation of Sarah being cause of the frequent bugs in recent times. Also revealed that she's an "electronic lifeform".

Sarah doesn't feel so good compared to other episodes either. I want to see her smile back D:

Actually while watching this series, i do ask what Sarah really is? (Though i have a feeling at that time that she is like a NPC in this world) and well the biggest surprise here is that she isnt just a NPc, she is indeed a BUG in the game.

Well what will the divers do, can they find a solution to it or in the end they will let the admin push the update...

Wow, things are escalating fast!

I wasn't expecting that bird to be the avatar of the person behind the game, neat!

Poor Sarah though, she didn't even fully understand her existence, at least not at first, wondering what the others meant by "the real world", and now her very existence is threatening the GBN, which is her whole world, and really important to a lot of people too, even to the ones she cares the most for.

It's not like the administration is wrong either, but just deciding to erase her without a second thought is a bit ruthless for sure, let's see what happens ~

i'd rename the title of this episode as Revelations of Sarah!
Sarah's a bug so that means, every time that Sarah is inside Riku's cockpit together near him, Riku always win? so this means Riku's advancing with some help and not with his own efforts huh...Riku's gotta be relegated because of that!
I know the solution! instead of transferring from a Hard Disk, they should use Solid State Drive! LOLZ!
5/5!

The best episode of GBD to date.

This development somehow made this anime a little bit different from Build Fighters and Try as it's not focused on fighting and tournaments, but more on the virtual world that was used as the setting.

Well, Sarah being "not human" is not surprising to us already and with the dilemma that they're facing for the past episodes, we already know she's the "bug". I felt bad for her since she's my favorite character now in the anime (formerly Ayame :v) but I like how the "story" is going into.

GBN or Sarah? What's the choice?
If they choose GBN, Sarah will be gone but they can still use the GBN and probably restore Sarah without affecting the system.
If they choose Sarah, GBN is done and so as Sarah since she exists in the GBN world.
So pretty much the first option is a better choice but I think there will be another "miracle" crap that will happen and "plot convenience" neither of the two options will happen. :v

Just like GBF and Try, I'm pretty sure this will end in 24 or 25 episodes so I think this anime will end with resolving the issue with Sarah.

Anyway, I am now curious as to how things will turn out in the remaining episodes. :)

This is the lowest point in the series so far. The entire explanation was pretty bad since that's not how the technology works. Also, the reaction and decisions of the mods and developer does not make much sense at all and are just for advancing the nearly non-existent plot.

Choosing between an emergent AI lifeform and GBN should be very easy: obviously the artificial AI lifeform is more valuable.
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.

We go from the villains being hackers to an admin literally willing to commit murder to maintain an mmo. Like, that's what it is in no unclear terms. He is trying to destroy a sentient creature for the sake of his video game.
