Even injured, Reiji is still awesome: http://imgur.com/vpkwIU5

Aila is adorable like usual <3. Weird pick for Reiji and Sei though. Number 44..unlucky.
The battle was alright I guess. I kinda liked the field they are fighting with the baseball setting.

Poor Reiji though, his wrist...;.; I still really admire his determination though. Great episode imo. Game set/5. Snap, Aila also knows about Reiji now. Uh oh.

Baseball...?
Unreasonable enough...

If there is no Aila's scene, I would have been rated this episode by 1/5.

Fun episode. The baseball was lol XD

But Dat pitch O_O...870 km/h speed XD and with an injured wrist+30% output only.
Now that's OP XD

Aila was kawaii as usual <3...but she finally found out about Reiji. Let's see how she'll react towards him from now onward XD I guess her tsun will control her dere for a while. Too bad she seems to dislike Gunpla so she's gonna probably dislike Reiji now.

Gonna have to give this a 3/5

Another cute Aila and Reiji scene. I am very satisfied that those punks got their asses beaten.
At the first battle, first mech that Yuuki fought looks like a Zaku with a head of this mech from Armor Trooper VOTOMS.

EDIT: nevermind, found out what it is
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/MS-06E-3_Zaku_Flipper

LOVED how the Sengoku Astray "killed" that Dreissen. Also poor german guy lol.

Reiji vs Luang was pretty cheesy...
I can really sense the people bashing this with the "KIDDY SHIT" or whatever insult....

The preview looks like the next match is gonna be racing. Hope its gonna be a race battle.

Didn't Rainer lose in the battle royale stage?
Liked his distinctive custom Walking Dome showing some Turn A Appreciation.
His stlye of Blue with red highlights has really grown on me.

Luang Dallara was really robbed of a good fight in this episode. He is such a promising side character and they put all of that to waste for what really wasn't even a game of baseball.
At least he kept his integrity throughout it. Hopefully we'll go the 50 episodes and he'll get another fight or two but I'm not even sure about that.
His Abigorbine is really a work of beauty.

Aila is really beginning to irk me, it's hard to keep myself from yelling everytime they waste screentime on her. She isn't even happy competing in these gunpla tournaments, just give her stale, archetypal character a rest.

Looks like next episode will feature a Julio & Mario Renato battle, presumably against the Star Build Strike but I'm wondering where Riccardo will come into the picture.

Leave it to Mao to paint a Zeus Gundam model kit while fighting a gunpla battle.
But that really makes me wonder, did the Zeus Gundam even get a 1/144 model?
Sunrise is really starting to bend the rules of Gundam here episode by episode and it's somewhat intriguing tbh. It's almost like false product placement.

Players are not eliminated. It looks like they get points from each of the rounds. The points are probably tallied at the end for the top 16/32 playoffs.

I thought that the free for all was a way to lessen the number of contestants... oh well. Loved his Wadom.

It was nice episode. Rather than being a knockout type of tournament, this is giving the other contestants a fighting chance against the elite ones (they still win though). I guess this tournament tests the fighters capabilities rather than just piloting or building and even though it's a bit awkward, it was pretty enjoyable. But seriously reiji, you got hurt like that to show off..........you could have easily beaten them unharmed you know but i respect your determination.

I feel like saying "Sorry Setsuna, you are not the only 'I am Gundam' anymore."

I am i am the only one who enjoys Sei x Kousaka and the kids ganging up on Ral. BTW that end comment..........."Are we being chased by the Ghosts of Zeon?"

The reason why Luang Dallara is so strong is because he's a SUPAH PAIROTTO!

Luang Dallara, Thai champion and fierce competitor. The man who spotted the weakness of Sei's shield design right away. Ousted by a baseball battle. GYP!

I am very much enjoying the PPSE Chairman and his cute assistant acting as nemeses for Reiji and Sei, though. It allows the players to remain the bros they ought to be. I just hope their schemes don't rob us of more potential cool Gunpla battles like the baseball fight did in this episode.

Don't expect Luang Dallara be out so soon. I thought Cziommer got kicked out last event, but he's still alive here.
As for the chairman and his secretary, they remind me of Wong Yunfat from G Gundam, they both have a "screw the rules, I make em" kind of thing.

I remember seeing that a while back and it was reinstated in the recent episode, but I also remember seeing the battle royale would stop once a fraction of the players were eliminated. I guess being eliminated from the battle royale stage doesn't merit you any points but doesn't knock you out of the game for good, actually I believe those who lived to the end of it all gained 4 points so that would make much more sense.

What the heck... Aila and Yurin are WAY different.
Yurin is a sweet and kind while Aila is quiet and distant. Plus Aila bickers with Reiji like a married couple while Flit and Yurin is more friendly.

Atleast it was not "Hemorrhoids" ~ . I hope for the Star Build Strike's Victory !!
Sei and Reiji's love stories are certainly pleasant ~ .
Now that I take a much better look at the Arena , It's a lot bigger than I thought .
Here comes the Third Period of the Tournament ~ . Battle Weapons !!
Luang Dallara , Abigorbine vs. Star Build Strike Stadium Match-up !!
What a Twist ~ . The Baseball Match will settle their scores ~ . Basically .
SUPERB EPISODE . THAT POSE . THAT PITCH .

Holy shit! The ball went right by Kirara and knocked the drink out her hand. LMAO
They won.
lol at Reiji using his left hand to shake Luang's hand.
Aila finds out Reiji is a participant.

This episode was so weird. I didn't like the weird Ramba Ral hemorrhoid jokes. Hispose was just weird and gross. Then the actual matches were cheesy with all the ace pilots easily defeating their opponents once again. The baseball game seemed to just make up rules. There were no strikes, the ball flew out of the arena, and the caught ball vanished. Seems like they could have just thrown three balls and won. Also, like that guy had a near 90% batting average and then lost to a guy that didn't even know what baseball was...

The "it's like a manga" line was funny though.

It's upsetting how the chairman targets Reiji specifically and all these made-up rules just to put him at a disadvantage... disgraceful.

The mix of baseball and mecha though, oh my, it was insane but awesome!

I think the bracelet saved Reiji a bit when he was fighting the thugs (at least his wrist), otherwise he would not even be able to compete in a completely injured state
