Wow, Aila's face scares me this episode, and Reiji's too. We find out a little about her past. I really hate her manager though...

The match is awesome so far in this match. Strike takes on the offensive early. Poor Aila though, I want to give her a hug for all the shit she's been put through now. I honestly hate her manager for making her go overdrive. I'm so glad she overcame that, awesome. You go girl.

Love this episode...
I kept laughing during the "baka" battle between Reiji and Aila...
All those blank white eyes and jaw drops of the spectators...

Well, seems that she was able to predict the opponent's moves and that is the reason why she is winning 99% of the time. But she is still good but not that good when it comes to pure handling skills.

As for the episode, it's hilarious and cute. Everybody's reaction when the two is quarreling is just..LOL. I then really lost my shit when the Qubeley is jumping up and down taunting the star build strike xD

they pulled some newtype shite there tho

Ok. I can safely say this episode is probably the.... BEST so far!!!!!!!! OMG this is seriously awesome, I mean, the tense build up and the seriousness from the beginning till when Aila throws off her helmet was really really freakingly tense. But the second she receives help from Reiji, she changes into a COMPLETELY different person which turned completely hilarious. The reactions on everyones faces, "URUSAI OJI-SAN!" that blew me away hahahaha. Seriously though it was pretty freakin awesome that girl Aila, can't help but love her. Love the ending where Sei is like wtff??!?!?!??!?!?! when Reiji tells him he promised Aila that she can stay at Sei's house. Priceless.

Anyways its a 5/5 for me definitely. Can't wait till next episode. MEIJIN VS MEIJIN.

Episode was great and exciting until that Build Knuckle. Getting really annoyed at build knuckle now. Excluding that I really liked the episode and the moments b/w Reiji and Aila.

I'm much hyped for next episode though, Exia vs F91!! Can't wait to see Exia in action!

>Aria von Reiji Asuna.
What a weird name.

Funny how Nils is joining their circle and sitting next to them already lol.

>"Could it be the light of the heart?!"
Goddammit Meijin, stop being so chuuni.

So Aila is a legit Newtype in this universe. That explains how he beat that Devil Gundam with just a Jegan. What a rought past she had.
And as expected, obligatory Newtype talking shenanigans in space using the particle magic, but minus the nakedness. This is a kid's show after all so we couldn't have that. Ah well.
The fight itself was average and ended up with the RG System beating the enemy yet again but it made up for it for the AilaxReiji interactions. mfw I had the same face as the audience and then giggled like a girl when they started with their love quarrel. God that was hilarious and so much fun. AilaxReiji ftw. And then they'll make passionate love at Sei's place.

Next episode, custom Exia vs custom F-91. At least Meijin's enemy isn't some nameless mook, though I don't buy this person who's closest to be a Meijin. Where was he all this time?
And this'll just be a fight to introduce to us Meijin's new Exia to intimidate Sei and Reiji.
And this whole business with the particles and Reiji just screams a second season. Make it happen please Sunrise.

Such a fun episode :D Loved the OST a lot too ^^

While the fight wasn't up to par with the others esp the conclusion of it (they really haven't been since the Fellini vs Reiji one, always ending up as Build Knuckle...probably because every other piece just gets sent flying or gets destroyed -.-) I didn't mind at all :D Hopefully their fight against Meijin will be epic though. This one was supposed to be for the feels, that one is a fight between men ^^!!!

Loved the moment before it where everyone was sad thinking what they're gonna do the nxt day. Pretty intense and emotional build up.
Also MihoshixFellini has become so canon it's adorable <3 I really love her casual clothes look.

Just seeing Aila burst out her piled up emotions while crying and finally go free is more than enough ^^ So cute >.<...Loved how Reiji just told her u can live at Sei's house too lololol XD Well it's true he wouldn't mind (esp Rinko XD She'll ship her and Reiji hard hahaha) XD
Then how Aila just took off her helmet and pushed the guy away and made the old geezer stfu and told the kid to play himself (and him answering yes ma'am XDXDXD)

And finally calling Reiji Baka Baka and arguing and flirting with him in front of the whole audience. Such an awesome moment that made me so relieved :D

She's so damn cute when blushing and when she told him she'd beat him easily so she doesn't want to fight him since they won't be able to see eachother again <3<3

Lol'd at the reactions XD Fellini saying I told him to enjoy himself not to flirt in the middle of the battle XD

And the end with Sei's reaction to her living at his house and Kousaka at Aila calling Sei casually XD

I can't wait to see the Chairman's reaction to Reiji reaching the finals now XD And now that he confirmed his true identity XD He's royally screwed hahaha.

I wonder what the secret about those rocks are? Interesting...but the problem is there's only 4 more eps left. Is that even enough to go into the plot of the Plavisky and Reiji's family...etc? Hope for a 2nd season >.<

Nxt up Meijin vs Meijin?? I wonder why we haven't seen that guy before? XD

Its so typical of Gundam discussions to home in and fixate on one thing it decides it doesn't like, in this case it finally found something to nitpick about in the RG system and Build Knuckle. I've even seen some people claiming they'll drop the show if its used again to which I'd say if 4 episodes from the finale if its that much of a show killer you obviously never had any real investment in the show anyway. It's so weird how some people take the fights so seriously in this show when the obvious priority is they are mainly supposed to be fun which is alluded to a lot by the characters in the show as one of the big points. Again though it wouldn't be a Gundam series if there wasn't a disconnect between the obvious intentions of the creators and the whims of parts of it's audience.

Still this entry probably went the longest before stupid gundam fandom nitpicking reared its ugly head again. Anyway I like how this show acknowledges that Aila character is essentially an expy of Allenby Beardsley. I swear this show is the closest thing we've had so far to a deconstruction of Gundam tropes, like by its own nature its self-aware.

The homage to Gundam 00 was okay. This gunpla battle is not the best battle but it still has the funniest ending. It's a different and hilarious outcome from the usual situations involving a main character reaching out to a newtype-esque person. I love the way Aila quit Team Nemesis. Aila shoving Nine, her calling Nemesis' chairman an old geezer and shouting at his kid to do gunpla battle himself was very funny.

Poor Mao. He is still depressed over Misaki. Unlike everyone else, he is having no luck in getting a women.

Once again, highly exciting episode although the situation resolved itself a bit quickly. Sei sorta had to cheat to stop the suit cheating.

Anyway, about the build knuckle, something tells me that it wont be that simple when they're up against the Meijin.

Oh and I'm eager to hear the story behind Reiji, the chairman and the particles.

Build knuckle never really bothered me... buy maybe because I love G Gundam and every fight Domon finishes with God/Shining finger.

Well it got kind of boring after she got rid of that device, but that's expected since she's been at an advantage through her whole Gunpla career.
and that one-punch KO!

That would be great. Seriously Build Strike needs another upgrade. Every time he has only one arm left and punches his way to to victory. He needs a BFS because to guns will get destroyed anyway. But the battles and music are consistent with the situation and characters. They are doing a good job.

Btw nobody noticed that Miguel cameo beside Nils during the match?

Not much to talk about this episode honestly, poor taste and placement of comedy during the fight sequences in this episode and the conclusion was really just an asspull.

Not the best fight we've had but Reiji managed to carry the episode, I guess.

They were trying to give Aila some forced development this episode but it didn't really happen, if anything, her character just came full circle.

Another Meijin type character is going to lose to Kawagutchi next episode? I'm stoked, well, not to see him lose, but to see who he is.
