Yup, the final episode of this season. The most important fight for Hiroto and everyone...

To me, this definitely has the feeling of a finale with everyone's fighting spirit. Even Nanami is relevant in this fight. I guess that entity realized the power of bonds, something that it didn't have. For Mei, I think she learned a lot about human feelings.

Tbh, I'm going to miss this anime. It's one of the few mech shows I've seen this year and lived up to my expectations.

Holy hell, this finale was amazing!

The battle of GBN turned into one of the biggest animation spectacles of the year that's every bit the fanservice spectacle we've come to expect from the Build series as a whole. We get even more answers for strange phenomena in GBN, and some satisfying and resonant payoffs to several character arcs! Hearing the SFX version of the OP was also a real treat.



It's hard not to feel for Alus and what he's been through, especially as we see his mental breakdown in real time. He was one of the better Gundam villains.

That was... amazing. What can I say? I was grinning all throughout! Lots of great scenes here.
I didn't expect much from yet another Divers show when this was first announced, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable show.

What a finale! A great team raid with plenty of flairs and references and everyone getting their little moments here and there. So many things to unpack, so many things to take in. The ending was incredibly satisfying and the cast is fantastic, loved how the main characters grew over the series.
Definitely worth the watch!

All I can say that Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise is an improvement over the original. What a fantastic ending that I've watched today!

Wow! I feel really satisfied by the ending, though it looks like the creators are leaving possibilities of more sequels/seasons.

I've to admit that my prediction is wrong that the whole town as teleported to somewhere else before the beam hit, look like it get destroyed for real and hundreds of Eldora citizen died.

Build is my favorite, no, more like the only watchable Gundam part, I'm wondering if Build Fighter and Diver will cross the path together someday, instead of introducing new Build ...er.

Penguin Research (OP artist) is the name of scanning method in the beginning of this episode??? LOL

We've GPD (Gunpla Duel) and GBN (Gunpla Battle Nexus), what will be the next step? Bringing a real Gundam war into the real world?

I have to say that this was a massive improvement over the first season. We finally got to see where the El-Divers came from and see old characters along the way.

You have to love the finales for Gundam shows. It's always an epic all out brawl. Nearly all of the old characters got some sort screen time, Hinata was able to see GBN, and we learned May is a reincarnation of Eve.

With the world building from this show, the door is always open for the story to continue.

I'm honestly having a hard time choosing a rating for this season as on the one hand it's a major improvement over the first season on the other hand its also a step back.

now I argued with my friends all day before making this post, hell we even rewatched the last two episodes to justify our arguments. In the end I changed it from a 5 to a 6. now for those interested in why I originally rated this a 5 and the points that made me change it to a 6 just click the button be warned might be long.

Welp this show failed to live up to OG build fighters. Try, divers and re:rise introduced new concepts but failed to deliver a hard punchline.

Surprisingly I was right about may being eve in some way. Basically this show is pretty uninteresting. even the deaths in this show was hilarious. alus as a villain was a total joke. i hope the next build series gets properly developed.

I would never hate on a Build series because they all have heart and charm and I love them all. But this one pretty much exhausted the last idea. The featured gunpla were uninspiring and the dog people of Eldora seemed like pieces of some failed other anime that got shoehorned in for convenience.

I enjoyed the first Divers series just as a good Saturday morning chill anime, but i didn't think it was really amazing or anything.

Re:Rise however, what a turn around compared to the first series. After the first couple episodes it was really entertaining to watch and i think it ended fairly strong. Curious as to whether the scene at the end means anything more. What do you guys think?

I'm not a fan of climaxes that get "Everyone" involved to the degree that our heroes feel kind of lost somewhere in the middle, and since the stakes are immediately dropped upon entering a virtual world it lessens the impact of this final episode unfortunately. I think, although this would have stretched the idea of GBN even more than they have been, that had Alus somehow manifested on the real earth it would have been a much intimidating final battle. However, doing something would have needed more time to do right, at least one more episode if not more. I also find the revelations about EL-Divers, while forshadowed and guessed by many, were a bit too tacked on to be given the weight they deserve. A revelation that huge should be shown to have an impact on our protagonists.

This said, an uninteresting follow up to the previous "Final" battle and questionable last minute world building does not marr the show too much I feel. There has been so much done so very well, it's honestly inspiring what the studio has accomplished with this sequel. I've come to really care a great deal about the world of Eldora, and the epilogue of the characters hanging out there (thank god they can still visit!) made me happy. Especially Kazami standing next to Maiya, I don't care if it's cringe I definitely ship them.

I see, so the ancients are reincarnated as El-Divers.

now I wonder if Eldora would open up a free entry portal so anyone can visit though.

GIANT GUNDAM PUNCH FROM THE SKY!!!

So yeah, I enjoyed this series a lot. It makes me sad that most people probably wouldn't get a lot of the references and all of the different mobile suits that were shown. I was quite a surprise that this "isekai" gundam entertained me as much as I did.
